This long-established and favorite resort of fashion is being put under a complete siate of renovation for the coming season. The Princ: Imperial of France bas been invRod and is expected about the middle of the season. Among the improvements may be mentioned the construction of a new and beautiful Opera House by the Messrs. Lelands, who havg also made a very exten- sive enlargement of the hotel, the Union. Tho other hotels, including Congress Hotel, under Messrs. Hathorn & Macomber; the United’States, under Marvin, Ford & Co. ; the Clarendon, under the manag>ment of Mr. White; the American, under Richard McMichael; the Marvin Hougo, the Continental, the Cr.suent, Columbian: Hall, ‘Washington Hall and others of less note, are all sound- ing busy notos of preparation for the approaching season of fashion,"firtation, frivolity, fanfaronade ‘aud extrava- ganoe that will soon make its app*arance at Saratoga. THR WATERS AND THKIR VIRTUXS—A SPRING WIDOW WITH A MILLION. Tho Springs are the great sanitary attraction of Sara- toga, and we find that they have been put in super-ex- celient condition for the coming carnival of fashion. There are about forty different mineral springs hore ‘within a circumference of five miles, and at least twenty possess better medicinal qualities than those of any of the minoral springs tn Europe. The great bottling water of Saratoga is that procured from Congress Spring, fa- ‘mous all over the world for its peculiar virtues, and bet- ter known in some latitudes than the catechisms of tue inhabitants. Congress Spring has been rétubed this sén- eon, aud the mode of procuring the water improved in, other reapects, rendering it even moro pure, palatable and benolicial as a medicinal liquid than heretofore. This epring was the exclusive property of Messrs. Clark & White, both of whom are deceased, and is now ownd by the widow of the Inst named. The property is valued at ) one million of dollara, and is the source of a splendid and contin@al income to the estimable proprietress. Mr. Walker R, Johnson superintends the immense businers of this literally great watercuro establishment, in which may @lso be included the very popular waters of Colum- dian, Hamilton and High Rock Springs—the three latter possessing tonic properties. Among the most prominent of the other bottling springs is the Empire, which has been but recently introduced to the publi¢ and is fast growing ia popular favor. The Empire is owned by'a company, with a capital of three hundred thousand dol- Jars, and is under the management of Mr. D. A. Knowl- ton. Next in order for its reputation with the public comes the Saratoga or “Star” Spring, owned by a com- pany known as the Star Company of Saratoga. The above embraces all the springs whose waters are bottled ‘and constitute an article of commerce, These waters are all eathartic, and highly prized for their medicinal qualities, Among the most noted of the springs whose waters are celebrated as tonic, are the Columbian, the ‘Washington, the Pavilion, the Hamilton, High Rock and the Excelsior (one of the “Ten Springs’). Neither of these waters is bot- tled extensively; but when their value becomes better known to invalids and persons requiring waters having a strengthoning effect, or gentle stimulants, tl will rank ag high as any of the other waters of these re- nowned springs, The Columbian ia especially valuable for its invigorating influences ou emaciated systems; and so powerful are its effects that it has to be used with caution by those enjoying naturally good health and vig- | OFONg constitutions, ‘WHAT TURAH SPRINGS HAVE PONE FOR SARATOGA—MODES OF - TRAVEL, BTC, These eprines have buillt up a large and flourishing city | | This Park is contro!) pe erg MAMAN ser | sumpene out Among the additions and ' | improve- ments of the Union are the foll owing :— 1.

With this rango and its Axtures the Union will bo able to prepare good dinners for its twelve hundred to fourteen hundred guests. 10. Bathrooms, Fresh water for hot, cold, shower and Plunge baths, for,ladies and ge ntlomen. All now. 11. The grounds of the Union have been extensively onlarged, opening on the four streets—Broadway, Wash- ington, Congress and Federal, Every night during the { season, from the 1st of June until tho Ist of October, these grounds will be illuminated with variegated gas lights, and the entire scene enlivencd by music from Dodworth'’s band, for whom an orchestra of capacious dimensions has been arranged in a proper place on the grounfs, The musicof this band, whose reputation is world-wide, will bea fine feature of attraction to the Union, and a souros of pleasure to its guests, DESOPRIPTION OF THE LELAND OPERA HOUSE, We have mentioned the Leland Op:ra House as anow and conapicuous feature of Saratoga the coming season. As it will constitute oncof the most striking and fashion- able attractions of th , 8 little more minute notice of the structure, its a] intments, its scenery and its merits as a Temple of Music that is calculated to be ducive of not only foreign but native talent of the highost order, we will attempt a brief description of the house. ‘TAR LELAND OPERA HOUSE ie lnates cgi the agate: err gis on bre ‘nion Hotel_ grou: fron hotel, w! the rear on ey its “is are one hun- dred and twenty-five feet in length by sixty-five in breadth; height from Srst tier of boxes to ceiling, thirty- six feet, ‘The whole Billings surounded hy two } gross abe cores The j Ser ke whole edifice to pi (44, one of which is used as aladies’ ements billiard saloon.

In the time they are lighted by side windows, and in the evening by gas. “The main ontrance of tho house is approached by a flight of nine steps, thirty feet in length, with handsome architectural ornaments on each side, surmounted by a number of brilliant gas lights. The main entrance to the body of the house is through three spacious arched, doors, on either side of which are broad stairs leading to the second circle, The auditorum is seventy-five feet deep by sixty-five broad, capable cf comfortably seating {i both circles and parquette fourteen hundred people. The seats are oak cane-seated chairs, and each arranged so that the occu- pant has plenty of room anda good view of the stage. The chairs form half of a true circle, with the lines gracefully converging to the proscenium boxes. The panels of the circles are richly-painted in white and pearl, orngmented ‘with appropriate devices in gold. The socond cirCle is supported by twelve iron columns, six in front and six in the rear, painted white and gilded, The side walls are chastely ‘colored white and pearl, similar to the panellings of the circles, ‘The ceiling i arched to the centre from all sides, converging to the top of the proscenium, which is arranged with pilasters and columns, on cach side-of the stave, leaving an opening thirty-six feet broad and thirty-six feet high for stage business.

In the middle ground of the Jand:cape passes the foative procession of the Muses moving, wit Apollo in their midst, towards a temple seen in tho di tance. A rich uplifted drapery nearly surrounds t/ main seene, and represents the appearance of a gorgeous framewerk to a splendid pictare. It is altogether a charming painti and was executed by Mr. Henry Youngling, of New York, who has also had charge of the painting of the scenery, as well as the fresco work, in the body of the house, The outside ornaments of the edifice are in the highest decree classichl and artistic; and with a large gilded American eagle, and ghe American colors tlying from elevated flagstatis, adds a national as well asa truly altractive feature to the whole structure. The architect of this gem of an Opera House, this temple of music and beauty, this centre of attraction for fashion and grace the coming scason, ls Mr. William T. Beer, of this city. The builder ls Mr. John Benedict, of Saruioga. The masonry was executed by Mr. Seymour Ainsworth, also of Suratoga. The gas fittings and fix- tures were prepared by George H. Kitchen & Co., of New York. The cost of the structure complete was sixty thousand dollars, exclusive of the land, building has been leased to Mr. Leonard Grover, the well known oporatic and dramatic manager, which {s a guarantee. that the performances will be of a character ensurate with the elegance of the entire catablishutnt. Two nights have been reserved by the Messrs. Lelands for the pur- pose of giving agrand opening ball, and for closing the eeason with a grand fancy dress ball and masquerade. THK RACING PARK AT SARATOGA, No mention of the attractions of Saratoga the com! season would be complete without a reference to sup.rb Raving Park, located about a mile from the.vil- lage. This Park is buper.or in clegance and accommoda- tions for ladiegto any of the raciug courses in Europe. ‘The Derby will here be found outdone, the Ascot thrown inthe ehade, and the Newmarket, where the last Awer.can racing victory was won, must hide a diminished head, 1 by @ corporation established under tho statutes of the State of New York. »Tho management of the Racing Park bas been entrusted to Mr. Charles Wheatly, a Kentucky gentleman, who any other man in the, world, how su should be of some ton thousand permanent inhabitants, and attract & floating population averaging from ten to fifteen thou. sand people daring the sammer, They have been the | means of building and supporting dit ‘and steamboat companies on the North river, Lake Chan plain and Lake George; and such is the faith of « iste in the continued and increasing popularity and at tractivoness of those springs as a place of summer resort | that @ now lino of first clase steamers is being etabliched | to rin between New York and the town of Athens, on Albany, for the convenience and accommodation of the mutitudes who swarm to Saratoga at the height of the summer season. At Athevs this line will connect with a new railroad, about forty-five mile# In length, running direct (o Saratoga wjthout change of cars or other detention. The steatners‘on this lino will be tho magnilicent St. Jolin, Captain Peck, and an en- tirely new ono, of equal proportions and splendor, not * yet finished, to be eatled the Dean Richmond, which, it « Me anderstood, will be commandd by the experionced and popular Captain 8, J. Roe, at present in com mand of the Hendrik Hudson. Ths new route, with tho usual boat routes, via Albany and Troy, and the Hudson River and Harlem Railroads runving thoir cats diroct frem New York to Saratoga, will afford moans of communication with the Springs unrivalled in extent and ease and comfort in traveling by that of any | central point in the country, all watering places included. In addition to these routes to Saratoga we may mention that-6f @ now railroad leading through the Adirondack istrict to the St. Lawrence river ot Ogdenrburg, giving ‘an opportunty to Western and Cnnodian travellers to teach Saratoga by am easy and direct route, And still further, when the Hoosic tunnel i# completed there will be adiroct route by railroad from Poston to Saratoga, via Greenfield, North Adama, &c,, @ very remarkable and | ‘a vory romantic region, by the way. STRIKING IMPROVEMRNTS IN SALLATOO A. Among the most striking improvements in Saratoga the Goming season, aside, perhaps, from the now Opera House, must be mentioned the enlargement of the Union Hotel. Tho Movers, Leland purchased this spring the entire Ainsworth property, which gives them a frontage of four hundred and fifty feet on Brondway by seven hundred and fifty feet deep. The entire block, with the exception of @ space occupied by some cottages, oecnpies @ix acres Of ground aul lies nearly opposite Congress re SUTATOER 8% r it will asiord ada 1 and more attractive a to those “fair ludyes’’ who will honor and adorn it by | their presence.

My oxertions for the attainment of this end have been most zealous and unt ring, though thus far, I must confess, they have resuited’ only in pittor disapr intment, and in bringing upon myself much th of obloquy and of hostility among extreme men alike in the North and in the South, and in exposing me, in oth gd to a large amount of physical discomfort an suffering. Having thus premised, I proceed to say that on the day previous to my leaving the oity of New York for this place, tho following communication from Mr. Stanton was handed to me at the headquarters of Goneral Dix:— Major General Joun A. Du ¢ President dirgcts that you inform Mr. Foote that his let{or asking leave of the President to go to California has b ved and the application refused. The President further directs that you notify Mr, Foote that if he docs not leave the United States within forty-eight hours after re- ceiving this notice, he will be arrested and dealt with for trea- son and rebellion against the government of the Unite States. You will report whether he complies with the orders of the President, EDWIN'M. STANTON, Not desiring to add tn tho least degree to tho present disquietnde of the country, and yet deeming it not alto- gothor safe to surrender myself incontinently to the mer- cies of that extraordinary Star Chamber tribunal now holding {ts dark sessions in Washington city—{such a tribuodl, I will add, as has not been known before in any country ‘pretending to be free for two hundred years) —I resolved to come within the British dominions, where I now am, and.where all subjected to political p-raccution in other lands are yet secured a safe asylum from op- pression elsewhere, so long as they may conduct them- selvos with circumapection and propriety. It is true, sir, that I did ask about ten days ago to be aXowed to journey to the far-off Pacifle coast, whore, as Imade known to you, I had four children, eight grand children, an only sister and numorous relitives and friends boride of whom are very dear to me, and in whose society I had hoped to’be permitted to spend the remainder of a life, now somewhat protracted, in quict and repos, after a’public career wh'ch has been pecu~ larly marked, inal its stages, with turmoil, excitement and conflict, "My just and reaonabie application for this purpose has been most decidedly negatived, andin lan- guage, I must gay, not altogether ro complaisant as a Chesterfield or a Palmerston would bo expected to em- ploy on such an occasion, or a8 would seem in the. least dogr.¢ to comport with the elygant amenities supposed to prevail in highbred and refined society, Of these things I do not fecl inclined to complain. If you, sir, really consid*r me guilty of treason, I’ rather marvel that I should have been graciously al- lowed to escape present trial by oi into ox- ile, and I have no special right to criticise the abrupt and scornful languge which your War Secretary has thought it consistent with his own official dignity to Rye he is responsiblo in this regard to yourself and to the country, whose manners he is understood to repre sent, and not at all to myself in particular, Icould ecarcely bave reasonably expected to be very deferen- tially or kindly treated by a functio who has not hes on a late memorable occasion to fulminate Diogefiostic and snubbing telegrams agaiust a distin. guished miliiay officer¢(General Sherman), who bad just Oiled the civilized world with his fam» as a warrior, ‘a statesman and philanthropist, and who had moreover secured claims to the universal adiniration and esteem of enlightened and virtuous men everywhere, by evinc- ing that, while more uniformly successful oven than Alexander or Napoleon in the winning of spleudid mili- tary victori pon ereat and p-rilous battle fields, Caesar himeclf had nover displayed in a grander and more im posing manner the high virtues of clemency and magna- nimity towards a subdued andefallen foe. To be sure, General Sherman has one advantage over all ordinary men when made the subject of Mr. Stanton’s hypereriti- cal malevolence, for he can claim the consolation which springs from a knowledge of the truth that He who surpasses or subdues mankind Must look down on the hate of those elow.

And here, six, I will make a frank admission. Had T been able at that time toread the lamented Lincoln's inaugural address by the light of subsequent events, I pover should have consented fo take up arms in opposi- tion to the federal government. I will go farther, and say that, had I anticipated ‘such astounding abuses of power aa havo been since ‘potrated by the Confederate government, I never should have consonted to assume a position of hostility to the government established by our fathers. And when I thus dgelare for myself, I am sure that I could make a similaMBeclaration in bobalf of nine-tenths of the people of Tennessos, and of the South generally, After Tennessee had concluded to assume a warlike attitude, undor the painful conviction that this had become indispensable alike to hor safety and her honor, I consented to ope ®& seat in the Gonfederate Congress as one of her reprosen- tatives, I am neither ashamed nor afraid to avow all that I did and said in Richmond during the doloful three yoars that I struggled there to prevent the establishment of a military despotisim—to suppress corruption, to bring to panlahinen) the atrccious abusers of power, and to about as early as ible an honorable peace, Idid not vote for a le measure calculated unduly to prol: hostilities or to heighton in the least degree the as) of the contest. I po cng «coat the writ ‘of Habeas ent, the 2 the sul of men to for the entorvain’ ment of Union sentiments, the ment of citizens wet and at “ ‘personal psi iy w= a and atm eM) ont starvation and general ill-treatment of ‘Baion' prison ers of war.

Sueh is afrank and explicit statoment of my public conduct for the last four years in connection with that deplorable aig ed of arms which is now drawing toa close. It has been my fate to have beon grossly mis- jndged and misrepresented by men of extreme views, ‘both in the North and in the South. Morcenary and pro- fligate editors have abused and ridicul:d me without stint all over the land. Ihave been deprived of my porgonal liberty in the South because I would not submi. toa military tyranny there. [have been twice shut up in a common jail inthe city of New York, by command of those in power in Washington, because, under circum. stances such as I have described, I united with ny South- ern brethron in an effort to prevent that “intolerable oppression’? with which we then honostly believed our- selves to be menaced. No man has accused mo anywhere of peculation, of fraud, of servility, of selfish ambition, of trickery and managomont, of insincerity, of profligacy,, of intemperance, of attempted assassination, or of mur- dor. My conscience, both in my private and public ca. pacity, is “void of offence towards God and man," and thoygh it should be my fate never aguin to be allowed to royiMit my native country, yet I feel, in my hoart of hearts, that no man loves that country, and that whole coun. try, more truly and intensely than I do; that no man moro earnestly desires than I do the prosperity and bap- pipess of the great republic which I have go long cudenv ored most faithfully te serve; and that no man is more solicitious than I am that liberty—constitutional lib- erty aborts Tegulated by law, and consistent with order and peace, should be the precious and enduting heritage | of my cguntrymen in all time to come.

Foreign exchange is firm, but buyers continued to hold back, Bankers ask 100% a 110 for their sixty day Dilis, and transactions are recorded at 100% a %. The preponderance of tmports over exports and the prospect of the continuanee and increase of this feature of our trade are calowlated to keep rates firm.
