The purchaser bas already commenced operations for the erection of twenty-three first class four, stery brown stone buildings, which, when Head, will complete the entire block with first class residences. Another extensive purchase of real estate, amounting to about half a million of dollars, has also been etfected east of the Central, ‘wut the particulars thereo! we are not at liberty to make public as yet. We merely repeat these facts to show the great activity existing m east side property, which may me attributed to the projected construction of the ‘Kastern boulevard, for which enterprise a bill was passed at the last session of the Legisiaiure, and the clearance of obstructions in the Hei Gate water channel. This last men- ‘tioned improvement is being heavily discounted, Already a number of steamship companies now located on the North River are negotiating for bulkheads on the East River front, with a view of erecting thereon hrge warehouses and bulkbeads, Following 4his enterprise the natural result must ve the erection of warchouses, and under such cir- cumstances it will not be long before the entire line of docks on the East River will be occupied by the | solid business men of this city. So much for busi- ness. As we approach westward, towards the Veith avenue, A MEALTHY STATE OF AFFAIRS existe in real estate for dwelling purposes, The yapil manner in which the tracks on the Fourth avenne are sunk promises the completion of this @gantic undertaking within the next two years; and this improvement is also heavily discounted in the enhancement of the property situated con- tignously thereto.

By the despatches already sent you it has been seen that the carpet-bag ring were deterred from their attempt to oust Governor Baxter by the ery politician, and was esteemed ‘the bravest man in Ilinois.” He was killed at the battle of Buena Vista, and in his death fairly earned the distinction which his admiring friends had given him while living. Mr. Lincotn was his intimate friend, and both men were gifted with a large sense of humor, ch they turned to good account. The hostile meeting between Mr. Lincoln and General Shields was brought about tn this way: A witty young lady wrote 4 communication for one of the Springfield papers, in which there were several passages which the General was pleased mination shown and the preparations made by hi to resist any attempt made to overthrow the State government by all the means in his power. Ap parently they are now waiting until he once more thinks himself secure and relaxes his vigilance to at- tempt tocarry their designs on the State government and treasury to a successiul issue. A brief review of the causes which led to this dissatisfaction of the Ring with Elisha Baxter will make this seemingly j Mitchell, vo consider as personally offensive. He was a testy Irishman, Who hada great deal of trouble- some dignity, and could never appreciate a joke at his own expense. forthwith went to the newspaper office and dem: 1 the name of the correspondent, and, this ng refused, he gave the editor three days in wich to make up bis mind, either to refer him to the writer or to take @ whipping himself, The poor man was greatly distressed, He did not like to be guilty of the ungallant act of betraying his lady correspond- ent, and he did not care to have a fight with | General Shields, who was*a much stronger man. In this dilemma he came to Mr, Lincoln und told him of his trouble. The lawyer took the matter | into consideration, but he Could think of no | stratagem ior the relief of his friend, At last he said to lim, “When Shields comes around with his club tell him that Abe Lincoin wrote that letter,” The editor acted upon the suggestion, und when the irate politician appeared, ready to carry his threat into execution, he was politely requested to | cail ypon Abraham Lincoln ior satisfaction, nik put a new face on the matte ieneral Shiclds knew better than to come fooiing about Mr, Lincoln with his cane, He was at that time causeless animosity clear to all thoso who under- stand the carpet-bag nature. Since his election the Governor has steadily refused to aid or coun- tenauce any of the schemes emanating from the Ring to defrand the State. We will name a few and the more prominent of these:— First—the railroad bond steal bili, a bill pro- posing to relingnisa the len of the State on rail- roads lately constructed in the State through the sale of State bouds amounting to $6,000,000, and granted for building of these roads, upon whieh the state has alien for the payments of interest on bonds soid and the gradual repaymenc of the principal.

The People Escaped from Toil and Sailing Up the Hudson—Sights and Scenes by the Way—How the Excursionists Enjoyed Themselves at Iona Island and Newburg—Carousals on the Boat and Flirtations on Land. A PLEASANT SUMMER SUNDAY. We are told in legends and romances of the beauties and glories of the castled Rhine, its picturesque villages, fertile meadows and lonely meanderings. The American tourist thinks his trip to Europe incomplete if he has not made a voyage down the storied river, bat when he has made the voyage he will be likely, if he be a lover of nature, to exclaim, “Well, this is very beautiful, but it does not compare with the Hudson, in my own country. The European river is pretty in its way, but relate or invent the same stories about the Hudson, and it will be the most attractive stream in the world.’”? And itis so, Poets may sing und moralists write of the beauties of the Rhine and the Danube, but our own North River bears away the palm, rich as it is in all that Nature can bestow. The thousands of people who accompanied the various steamers in their excursions up the river yesterday were doubtless of this opinion, and, indeed, it would be difficult to imagine anything more surpassingly lovely than the spectacle that was presented to their view. AHeERawp reporter accompanied one of the ex- cursions, leaving Fulton ferry, Bsooklyn, at half- past cight o’clock, The morning was delightful, Acool wind was blowing which relieved the heat ofthe day, and far as the eye could reach nota particle of fog was to be seen. The numerous spires of the churches of Brooklyn were glittering in the morning sun, while grand old Trinity stood out on the New York side as a sentinel amid the surrounding buildings, The steamer only re- mained @ few minutes at the ferry, and then it steamed rapidly up the river, pass- ing on its way the hundreds of vessels, from all parts of the world, which lay anchored in the harbor, There 1s always some- thing impressive in the sight of a mighty vessel lying idle in port, but the sight is still more deeply Anteresting on a Sunday morning. Then all life is hushed, A solitary seaman is lying lazily upon the deck, there is no stir or bustle, and it is difl- cult to imagine that but a few days before the vessel may have been fiercely battling with the waves—timbers creaking and masts shaken by the the fury of the angry clements. But she is quiet now, and poor Jack, after risking his life for his seanty pittance, is ashore, the prey of sharpers and thieves, who ave always lying in wait for him. Two more landings are made before the boat starts flnaily on the way, one at Christopher street and one at Thirty-fourth street. More passengers are taken on until the boat fairly groans with its living freight, and then we are off in earnest. ‘The class of people who go up the Hudson on Sunday are, as arule, Much more respectable than the ordinary run of Sunday excarsionists. Coney Island, Rockaway and the Fishing Banks are abandoned to the roughs and their friends; but as a rule those persons do not find themselves much at | home on a Hudson River boat. Those who went up yesterday were, generally speaking, staid and solid-looking people; fathers with their wives and children, young men and their sweet- hearts, dry goods clerks, glad to catch # breath of iresh air after a week's confinement, with a sprin- | kling of dandies, make up theassembly. There are groups of charming girls, who laugh and chat and ilirt, while groups of admiring swains ogle and look sheepish, smoke huge cigars too big for their jaws to carry, and display their store clothes, Here is & young person, evidently a dry goods clerk, On @ small salary, who imagines he is dressed to kill, He wears ‘a lavender kid flove on one hand, while he carries the other aaintily in bis fingers.’ His coat is new, cut ill fitting, and there is a nasty crease down the front of his light pants strongly suggestive of the | | bowery or Chatham street. But he looks happy, | | and 11 he is satisfied no one clse need grumble. i Meanwhile the boat is speeding rapidly on, and | ‘soon Spuyten Duyvil Creek, the northern boundary of Monhattan Island, is reached; and here the sce e ; is exquisitely beautiful. Tho bosom of the | river, calm ‘and unrutfied as when turned | from the hands of the Creator, bursts upon | | the view, its broad expanse dotted with the white | | sails of mnumerable craft and pleasure boats.
