An ali nizivs rtde down the Chesepeake Bay from Baltimore brought us here this morning Just as the shalows of the night were being liited from the face of mother earth, A drizzling rain greeted as ag we stepped from the boat, and was with us during our ride of about two miles up to the village, and, indecd, continued at intervals nearly al day. Kaston is a very pretty and thriving place of about threo thousand in- habitants, and presents in a remarkable degree, for an old Southern town, the evidences of thrift and enterprise. The buildings all took frean and new, and some beautiful residences adorn the principalstreets. Large and well vegu'ated stores, good hotels, and all the appliances that are neces- sary to make a favorable impression upon the transient visitor are here, It 18 the residence of ex-Governoy Phillp F.

The ciroumsiances connected with the murder are as follows:— Lawrenee had lived with the woman he killed for several years as lis wife, by whom he bad two chil. oren, but they were never marricd.

Among the citizens that were passing and repassing ail the morning were GAUDILY DRESSED SOLDIERS, of the Maryland National Guard, who were to be used in preserving order, Within this crowd were also a large number of men who wore budges that designated them as deputy sheriffs, showing that every rrecaution haa been taken to preserve peace.

A Concert of Fine Voices Within Doors and ofthe Elements Outside~One o! the “Noctes Awmbrosiann” in These Hille. THOMPSON'S ATLANTIC PAVILION, NAVESINE HIGHLANDS, July 12, 1871. In the pauses of the tempest, Withtihe roaring of the sea, ais of music ecly sweet to me, Coming down last evening from the feartul excite- ments and apprehensions of the city to the welcome peace and security of these beautiful hills of Jersey we were invited to take alook at the decorations of the ballroom for the concert which was to begin at eight o'clock. We found the room provided with a platform at the north end, occupied by two grand pianos, and tastefully embellished with festoons and wreaths of evergreens and flowers, and preily wreaths disposed aronad the argand lamps with which the hall ts lighted from the sidewalks and the ceiling. “But what ts al! this for‘? we inquired. “It is for a concert for the purpose of asvisting In meeting a debt of the Episcopal All Saints’ Memorial church, which forms such a pretty ornament to the woods three miles back here tn these hills, and the concert 1s an experiment on the part of Mr, Milner and other pub- lic spirited citizens of the neighborhood in combin- ing business and pleasare; and the musicians are mostly professional arusts, and the young peopic have gone heartily into the enderpri you see,’?

Oh, nol W ve suld ticxets enough fo make the concert @ success, aud the Hite river steamboar will be round presently with a good house in addi- tion to the audicaee secured from thes tets,?? And, sure enough, lia the pouring storm and sing- jag cheerily, the company Irom up tie river an- nounced thelr coming, But if was 2 uche ater te appotnted hour when the concert commenced, and tis 18 the programme:— PAWE FRET janoforte, Tanhuanser i di Rolian’” Wagner on.Zetti forie, “on Giovanni RT SEUOND. hath shed a tear ‘alo, **) 6. Quartet, Pianolortes, The modcacy of the performers, vocal and iustra- mental, being equal to their merivs, they earnestly requested the exclusion of their names from the papers, and so we are excluded from the usual speciticauions, The singers, however, were, as we have said, mostly regu arlists, and the concert was excellent, and only the more enjeyable from the roarlag ‘inand sea Oulside. There were irequeat encores, irom which we hadsuch pre-ty sentimental piccesas “Whea bvening Twilight Gatne: Rounil,’? “Dearest Maiden, Wit Thou Vance With Me.” “Rocked Io the Cradie of the a “Sweet and Low Wind of tuc Westera sea"? “Weep Not for Me, but Smile Once More,” &c. In short, In every re- spect the concert Was a success, and it was particu. larly delightiul from tae large proportion of hand. sone Wouen present, We hopo that the principal and his colaborers in this gratifying experiment wul try it again; for if the debt of wei pretty little churei is Wot cancelied by tins concert it will surely be by another on some moontt wight. It was past midnight when our weicome visitors from over these hills weat up the giver, singing to the re- sounding bass voices of the storm and the ‘wild sea waves.” Ah, yes! at thig suminer retreat, and in all the cogey retreats among these charming forest hills, We have more solid enjoyments and recrea- tons than they have at “the Branca,” where (he lollies and tiumimeries Cf fashion rule the hour. The Long Branch Seashore Katlway and the Red Bank amer Sea bird are ponally fiding up all these highland summer houses and river hotels. Meantime our young people here ave having “splen- did fun” in their crabbiag expeditions up the river, some in boats and some on shore, and they say that tae crop of soit crabs this season is very large, and they prove ft, too, by the supplies whicn thy bring home for supper. And the season of picnics in the woods is at hand, and one of these meriy old- fusmoned Jersey picnics with a company of tiree or four hupured persons marching 1) into these hills, with their amply furnished baskets, and headed by a band of music, is a retreshing-spectacie eve 1 to an old fogy. And how the happy country maidens and gavlauts i the green woods ring with their merry yoices | Half a mile below us we bave the summer en- campment of the Jacksoa Ciub in thelr spacious cedar grove, and with their superior clam chowder; anda mile above u3, around the corner of tho moun- tains on the watcr’s edge, and nestling in the um- brageous w: we have the summer caravanserai of the veterans of the Neptnne Club, old sailors, reguiar old jack tars, for every man of them has made nis voyage round the world or part of the way. Of course, these highlands are the locality for men in town who desire to devote the day to ‘business and to enjoy at night the fresh au of the country from ihe blue sea and the green hills. ATLANTIC CITY. How to Get There—Riding, Driving, Boating d Fishing=The Absecom Light—A Yachi- ing Regatta Being Organized. ATLANTIC City, N. J., Jaly 12, 187L. A hot, dusty ride from Philadeiphia in the fast ex- press over the Camden and Atiantic Railroad this afternoon, a desolate-looking country all the way down, consisting only of dwarf pine trees and sand, with an occasional village thrown in by way of variety, seemed to me the very embodiment ot shadow land, wherein the weary soul, for sing com- mitied on earth, was forced to Journey through the term of his purgatorial career. The distance—sixty miles—is made in one hour and three-quarters, which may be considered the only redeeming feature of the trip. In due time the salt marsh was reached and the passengers breathed somewhat easier as the dust by degrees left them, and the cooling sea breezes fanned their heated, dust-covered brows, The tram runs the whole !ength of the town, and at the extreme jimit thereof such as desire to alight at the hotels nearest the sea, the brakes ave let offand back we go from one hotel to another until the whole tram fs unloaded, Amid a rush of room-seckers 1 stood, and having registered awaited the movements of a super annuaie! old clerk. A lady walked up to the office and made some inquiries, the old fellow searched and searched the house plan of rooms, returned with bis answer, which, of course, was not satisfac- tory, was then directed to look again, and there he paraded, pack and forth, to and fro, for twenty minutes, while several tired and travel-stained bachelors awattert his pleasure. In course of time he delgned to take cognizance of thelr wants and they were assigned rooms. Under the guidance of an fnteiligent African I found my way to the fourth floor and into a dingy, sunstruck room, of anything bot an inviting appearance; a dirty, stained maz Ung covered the floor: a yellow stand, bearing a taliow dip and a New Testament, in one coraer, and a “bea for bachelors” in another. On appealing to the mteiigent contraband for a Se for such queer fooking accommodations he repii ab, on forgot to bring your wife wid you, sah.” 1 Was at once more than ever impressed with the intelligence of mv African friend, and in futnre shail follow bis advice. 1 advise all bachelors to bring their wives wiih them when visiting this place.

Mauy wile avenues, extending in ciiterent directions, afford the very nest drivin, and it Ouly remains for the citizens to plant shar trees along the sites to render these drives in course of time almost unequalled. oating and fishing are favorite amus*ments, The inlet just north of the cit is at all times the scene of tmprovised aquatic coil tests, Some of witch are very creailavle to the lite white-winged erait that abound in numbers tu tie vicinity.
