" CHINCOTEAGUE. The Wenderful Lighthouse at Ship Shoats. THE SURF AND SHELLS. More Marvels of Conversion at the Camp Meeting, YARNS OF THE WRECKERS. Treasures and Monsters of the Deep Blue Sea. , CHINCOTEAGUE ISLAND, Accomac County, Va., August 14, 1874. One of the interesting points for the visitor to Chincoteague Island is a visit to the Assateague lighthouse, on Assateague beach, A short drive 01 2 mile and a half across the island brings one to tbe Eastern channel. On this shore a batteau is in constant readiness to convey passengers to the beach or Assateague Island, as it is called and im- Properly laid down on the map, for it is not an island at all. However, to the lighthouse, It was built in 1866-7, under acts of Congress, June, 1860, and July, 1866. It is shout two miles from the Southwest point of Assateague beach, in latitude 37 deg, 6% min. 37 sec., and longitude 75 dog. 21 min. 4 sec. Its visible distance in nautical miles is twenty from the sea. The height of the tower, which is built of brick and pcinted red, is 129 ieet from its bese to tts focal plane, and it is 150 feet high from the level of tne sea. Its lens is Of the first order, This lighthouse was first estab- Jished in 1833, and its special purpose is the pro- tection of vessels when near TNE CHINCOYEAGUE SHOALS, Jormerly called the Ship Shoals trom the great mumber of large ships formerly wrecked on them. At was built by G. Carter Smith, Acting Engineer, and Joseph Masters, Superintendent of Constrac- tion. rhe iluminating apparatus was made by Barbier & Fenestre, of Paris, at @ cost of $8,000 in gold, Itis a perfect marvel of beauty and finish. The lantern 1s from the works ol James T. Ames, ©nicopee. Theiron and brass work is by J. P. Morris, Turner & Co., of Philadelphia; the cut stone by Joseph Cunningham, Philadelphia; the brick by Thomas Irwin, of the same city, and the cement by Delafield & Baxter, of New York city. In its oil room there are six tanks, holding 100 gal- lons each and four of fifty gullons exch, and the consumption of the lamp is nearly four gallons per day. lis keeper is William 8. Vane—salary $760 per annum—with a first assistant, J. A. Jones—$400 per annum—and second as- sistant, A. D. Miller, coiored, salary $800, The government has provided a very comiortable house—the best in this region—for the use of the | keeper and his family, which consists of a wife and two childrep. On the beach there are twelve families besides the keepers, ‘Their houses are similar to the original ones on Chincoteague Island, while over it roam wild horses, horned wattle and sheep. THE BATHING OFF THE BEACH is very fine, naving the peculiarity of shallow Water and a high, dashing surf.

To-day all the “stranger preachers” left the samp ground, and it is now in charge of the Moderator—the Kev. Mr. Adkins—but daring the day and evening an tncrease im the power and in- tensity of the meeting is Clearly perceptible. The preaching has been of the usual camp meeting style. No great or original thought has been uttered, and the converts made bave been the work of the laymen with tueir prayers and songs. To-night, at eleven o'clock, about a dozen new “mourners” were in the “anxious seats,’ all of ‘wom came out of their wrangle with the devil and jumped up “to see Jesus aud go to glory,” ‘with the single exception of & young girl, whose hypnotic condition would not permitit. Several of the elder sisters in the church “got happy” ana ‘waltzed ail over the camp ground, shouting ‘*Halle- lujab!”’ “Glory to God!” and hugging everybody they met. One of the iady converts this evening ‘was a pale bionde, Atter lying prostrate on tae ground lor en hour, wringing ber hands and ask- ing tor relie!, she finally iound tt 2nd commenced to jump. Nobody has the siightest tdea HOW HIGH AND OFTEN A WOMAN CAN JUMP ‘until they see her with ‘Jesus in her bosom?” at a camp hey nt 4 Afcer this girl had been converted and her false hair rpmoved they let her loose. One Of the island Stetlind ponies would have looked on with admiration at her agillty. Sle bounded like a rubber ball over the benches, over the fences round the benches, on top ol the Shoulders of the brotuers, and truly up into the iower branches of the pine trees. She nad her “angel wings” on and lacked but little of the celerity of a marsh hen, which isthe yoickest “critter” here. finally concluded to remain on earth fora while yet, but that conciusion was po sooner reacted than she became to all appearances pertectly demented. Her eyes were fixed with a painfully vacant stare. She swayed her body and arms apout in that horri- bie way maniacs have in cells when panting for Dreatt and the light of aay. Had sie been playing Ophelia on the stage the performance would e insured u mighty theatrical iame; but here iet me add, she Was in earnest. THE UNSPEAKABLE ECSTASY she felt was wholly real, Miss Ellen Dukes’ case of conversion was another reMarkabie one. Im- agine a young lady of twenty, tall, beautitul and symmetrically formed, and a true Madonna face. Even Dukes 18 of this description. she was “con- victed” and went jorward to the ‘taourner’s bench.” She feil on her kuees, raised her clasped hands and supplicated piteously, ior a fall hour, for % “vision OL Lord.” i one-hali she stated 3s true the indnrated soul of the historic Cnris- tdan of Sweden never had so much cause for mercy. The dure agony piciured in ber face was as fearfalas the dreadiul expression of the lost in the painting of THE COURT 0? DEATH, It would have awakened pityin an adamantine breast, With the progress of the prayers and songs, though, she gradually recovered, and here the remarkable part of this story comesin, The look of agony jaded away little by little, ‘The tu Multuous passion which had stvayed her body like @ whirlwind gradually subside She extended wide her arms and turned her eyes with an im- movable gaze toward the skies, Fainuly at first her entire expression seemed changed, and very soon a light, clear and beauutul, spread like & radiance over her features, She rose from her w knees, shouting “Glory to Goa!” “Pye seen my | Diesse Saviour! “My sins are pardoned; giory, glory, glory!’ ‘Oh! the precious time I’ve Jost.” “ T love Jes Jove you ail.” And thea e Went round to ail the tents shouting, singing, and dancing tor joy. It was truly an interesitug sight, for she was perfectly sincere, A Sail with the Wreckers=Stories of | Life Under the Sea=—Diving tor Treas- uremA New Watering Place. CHiNcoTEAGLE ISLAND, y Accomac County, Va., August 15, 184 This morning the northwestern windows of the | hotel revealed in Chincoteague Channel a scene unusually gay for this port. The schooner Rap- Adan, belonging to the wreckers, was in holiday attire, Long lines of fancy fags were strung from ber masts, and one line bore ail the cage used im the French signal code, The deck was scrapu- lonsly clean, as well as the cabin aft and all parts | ol the ship. By mvitation a large party of ladies and gentlemen embarked at ten o'clock for a) Ball on the ocean, Among the ladies were Mrs, ‘Waters, Baltimore; Misses Annie R. Bowen Phila- delplia; Lizzie Carey, Newtown; Lizzie Bishop, | Girdletree Hill; Louise and Salite Burton, Watcha- pugue ; Maggie Gordey, Philadelphia; Maria Waters, | Philadelphia; Amy Burch and Lu Williams, Chinco- tongue Island; Miss Callaway, Delaware; Jennic ‘Taylor, Temperanceville, Va.; ENen Dukes, Dela- ware ; Charlotie Simmons, Snow Hill, and Jane At- kins, Delaware. The company were handsomely en- tertained by Captains HB. Williams and Isaac Demo- rest, of Delaware, and Captain L, Quin, of New York. These gentlemen are representatives of the ©oast Wrecking Company of New York; and their | high character and gentlemanly bearing are in es- timable contrast with many in the profession of wreckers, During the day the Rapidan was anchored in deep water, and Captain Quin put on his diving armor ana descended to THE BOTTOM OF THE SRA, ‘where he remained for some fifteen minutes, The umcar these divers use ts the Alfred Hale, Heratp can | and 1s 4 steam, worked = by Brothers was sunk four years miles from lang, off the Chincoteague shoals, anu in ten fathoms of water. She wasona voyage from Antwerp tO Philadelphia. A sloop here took the crew off and imto the port of Lewes, Her manwest called for 700 tons of railroad iron Casa Qi tons oflead, At the time of her loss the Coast Wreeint Company gx New York made a contract to get her cargo Que Q son they were never successiul, - party came down about two months ago, and the wreck was found after a month’s search, The whole top of the vessel 18 gone and most of the sides, and the cargo 18 covered with a bea of muscles three feet thick, The wreckers have had seven days of actual work in removing the cargo, and have taken out i18 tons of lead. They nave now reached the iron and will commence on Mon- day next removing that, as there is no more lead | in sight. They expect to complete the entire re- movai of the cargo in the course of two months. Captain Demorest has great experience as ® wrecker, and has been engaged in taking ou: the | cargoes of some | WRECKS OF NOTABLE INTEREST. For instance, at the time of the revolution in the South American colonies—Venezuela, Grenada, &c.—the government made a forced loan of $11,000,000 from the merchants of Cadiz, and the | Spanish man-of-war San Pedro was commissioned | to carry the treasure out, By a general collusion of the merchants, however, only $2,000,000 were actually put on board, the balance being repre- sented by casks o! naila, bullets, &c, ihe San Pearo sailed for South America and anchored of the Bay of Cumana, but, being unable vo land, the chief of the expedition determined the landing should be effected at Laguayra; but the officers The Black ago, five on board, jearing detection and punish. ment, set the ship on fire. There were eight hundred souls on board, and many were lost, those saved being taken prison- ers. Several expeditions were fitted out to re- cover the treasure, without success. The last one was fitted out by the American Submarine Company of New York, in tne fail of 1871, and was gone #vout fourteen months, The vessel carrying the wreckers was the brig Nellie Gay. She was commanded by Captain Scandala, with Mr, George Fuller as superintendent of fitting out and Cap- tain Demorest in charge of the operations, which cousisted of blasting to break up the wreck, pumping out the sand and dredging up the sand outside the wreck to get the specie, which had been scattered by the explosion. A ¢ood portion oi the treasure was recovered, Captain Demorest exhibited one of the pleces—a Spanish dollar of the date of 1806, The vessel was sunk in 1815, hence 1 had lain in the water for filty-seven years, | still the portrait of Don Carlos and the date were well defined, Most of the silver was found in a circle of 600 to 1,000 feet around the stern of the vessel, which lay in about ten fathoms of water, MANY CURIOSITIES were obtained from the ship, such asa whole saucer, curiously plated with silver inside and having round it @ beautiful gold wreath; a sun dial of rare and curious workmanship and in complete working order, With the exception of the compass, Was found. The vessel, betag constructed of beef wood, was perfectly sound, though the galt water had penetrated the cannon and balls to the extent of a iui inch, and the Keelson was thoroughly saturated wito quicksilver. No ac- cident occurred to the wreckers there, but they were at first a little terrified by the interest which some large fish. from eleven to fifteen feet long and weighing from 800 to 1,000 pounds, seemed to take in the operations, They looked on with groat gravity and could not either be scared or kicked away. Then Captain Demorest told us another story of the Scotland, wrecked off Sandy Hook in 1367 or 1868. Having colliaed with tae Kate Dyer she filled and went to the bottom. The government appropriated money to remove the wreck, and the contract was awarded to the Neptine Sub- | marine Company of New York. Captain T. A, Scott, Chincoteague Island, had charge of the work. ‘Chey used in breaking up the wreck twenty-one tons Of powder, and they recovered over fifteen hundred tons of iron and forty tons of other metals. The Scotland was sunk in twenty-turee feet of avater. The Kate Dyer was sunk im deeper water, and has since been found off Fire Island. A diver, George Seaman, while at work on the wreck deliveratety cut off “tne line of life,” and, of course, was pulled up dea Noticing that the helmet used by Captain Quin had been pierced with holes and mended Cap- tain Demorest told us it Ocompred While at work on > THE WRECK OF THE ATLANTIC, which, it will be easily recollected, was wreckea off the coast of Nova Scotia April 1, 1873. The contract of the Coast Wrecking Company was for the cargo, and they arrived on the ground the 16th of April. Five hundred and fifty-seven souls were lost altogether, and by_the middle of September 180 were still missing. Even last December quite a@number of bodies were washed up, and, owing to the icy coldness of the water, they were in a fair state of preservation. Une day whue one of ‘vhe divers, named Chittenden, was at work on the wreck, another diver below sent up a@ box of file steel. When about half way up the end of the box broke and the steel falling out, strack the ‘other diver on the head and back. It made three holes in tue copper helmet and bis dress was iiter- ally cut in pieces, Altuough pulled up as soon as sible, he Was With great difiiculty restored to Lic, . ‘This curious instance happened at the East River Bridge, as stated by Captain Demorest, while at | work on the Brooklyn tower:—In blasting they used a steel-pointed spile driver ana irom five to twenty pounds of powder at each blast. They would then dredge to getup the dédris, Arter dlasting and dredging through twelve feet of that hara pan they found a penny of the colonial date of 172. It was as iresh aga trog biasted out of a | soud rock, absolutely bearing no marks of decay. | ‘ghe wonder is how it got there. It was with sack | stories as these that the wreckers entertained | their iriends while on the sail. A NEW WATERING PLACE. The ground purchased by Mr. J.J. English tor the proposed new watering place and summer resort, cludes fifty acres on the extreme lower end of the island. He proposes to have it laid out in garden lots and planted with shade trees, and to have ready tor the coming seasona new hotel of 100 feet frout and 40 deep, and so constructed that necessary addi- ons can be made. Tne sand drive to be made | arouud the beach will be almost as firm as leather, and will make a beautiful roadway. ‘Those per- fectly familiar with such matters assert that the bexch 18 one of the best for bathing purposes any- where on the coast. Gentlemen of culture aud | wealth who have visited the isiand duying the | past week Pace for the enterprise a complete success, The view of the ocean is a most exten- sive oue. Large ships and steamers are constantly passing within range of the naked eye, and all the | pleasures of hunting, fishing ana sailing can be in- dulged in to one’s heart’s content. MR, BESGH’S HORSES SOLD, Eight horses which were found by one of the agents of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animais in a starving condition in the staisle at- tached to the Hartshorne brewery in Sullivan | street about a month ago, were sold at public auc- | tion at an East Thirteenth strect auction mart yes- terday afternoon. Mr. Bergh had advertised for the rightiul owners to call and claim the horses, but uo owners putin an appearance. At the sale a bay mare, eiht years old, realized $220; a black mare, nine years old, brought $155; a brown horse, | eleven ycars old and lame, $40—about as much as it cost to stavle bim fora month.

Oak Biurrs, August 15, 1874, And a very bluff spot it is just now. than that, it was a lucky thing the otber | day tne vessels of the New York Yacht Squadron left the anchorage here in time, for there promised to be as lively a gale as ever landed craft high and dry upon a beach. There is no com- | fort in such a transfer, and it often leads to tncon- | venience, But the yachts are gone, ana the waves having nothing else to thump against are pound- ing away merrily on the shore. Leaving the white-crested operators to amuse themselves we will take & quiet saunter throngh the camp grounds and see what changes time has wrougit in this charming little city of cottages, and snould apretty girl chance to pass our way we will bow our heads in thoughtiulness, for the great camp meeting is at hand, But the truth is there are so many tiny dwellings at every turn, savoring of romance and good board, however unpoetical the combination, that it will be a task of some moment to divert the imagination, since we can hardly help associating with these fairy homes the pres. ence of beauty within, Yet so long as the fair creatures ' More | TICKLE THE PIANO with tantalizing tenderness, ponder at the win- dow with dreamy fondness on Tyndall's lectures on “Light,” for instance, or indulge in that inno- cent chatter of which boundless chamity and affec- tion are oftentimes the noblest elements, I may, perhaps, be enabled to present to you a little pic- ture of the place, its surroundings and general jeatures, Well, then, to come to hard facts and figures, and it requires an effort. Martha’s Vine- yard is an island some twenty miles in length, with an average width of about five miles, Itis surrounded by the Vineyard Sound on the west, while on the other side the Atlantic rofls upon the beach, A word or two about the origin of the camp meetings here, for, after all, they are the source, though indirectly, from which all the pres- ent popularity of Oak Blufs flows. - A GLANCE BACKWARD, Some forty years ago, according to the tradi- tions of the place, a half dozen pious Methodists from Edgartown proceeded to a shady spot on the northeasterly part of the island, which was soon after known as ‘Wesleyan Grove.” Here, in a somewhat primitive style, commenced the first of those annual assemblages which have succeeding year brought a larger attendance. Among other features were the experiences, de- livered orally, of reformed inebriates, which ex- cited the admiration of thoughtful audiences, Family tents increased in n mmber, and as early as 1846 the Martha’s Vineyard camp meeting became a well-established institution for the diffusion of religious sentiment as well as affording an oppor- tunity of recreation, especially for thos? who came from large cities. A high board fence was placed around the grounds, outside of which sev- eral handsome cottages began to appear, as well as in the vicinity of the Bluffs. And now the tame of vhe Vineyard as a watermg place soon spread abroad, and people not particularly of a pious turn picked up stray lots and commenced to build the most fascinating of summer homes, The Camp Meeting Association, not adversely inclined to make an honest penny, entered into negotiations by which a large tract of wood and land north of this camp should be disposed of for building pur- poses, and with marvellous rapidity cottages sprung up in all directions. Five or six years ago you entered the camp ground in SACKCLOTH AND ASHES, with cooking utensils and a hight stock gencrally. Nowadays a llower in your button bole und a big valise are Indispensably necessary for the transient guest, who, like the prodigal son, may have a fatted call kilied for bis return tothe right pati, provided, of course, that his purse ts suiliciently jong—lor they say, indeed, that butchers affirm even here that business is one thing and brotherly Jove another. At all events, Oak Bluds, within a | few years past, has assumed all the proportions and characteristics oF a watering piace, and there | is reason to believe that, so far 33 Rhode Islanders and New England people are concerned, it pos- sesses charms which they seem fully to appreciate. A shrewd company o! jand speculators, who mi | timely purchases of property in the vicinity | of the Bluffs, have done wonders in the way vl improvement. From a comparative wil- derness they have made a beauti(ul little city, which now stands a monument to the industry, | enterprise and ability oi those who worked, | planned and carried out the original idea of con. | yerting the island into one of the leading summer resorts of Massachusetts. Of late the camp meet- ing people, july recognizing this fact and the progress already made, have become much more | liberal in their views than iormerly. ‘fhe high board fence tas disappeared, and they have ve- come So accommodating as to postpone their an- nual exercises for a Week or more in order to prove the attraction when the season begins to wane. But the Vineyard has its charms even should the camp meeting be held elsewhere. THE ATTRACTIONS, ‘There are beautiful littic parks and avenues by the scores, with names sufiiciently aristocratic so far as the difficulty of tueir pronunciation goes. Concrete drives and promenades have been laid in all directions, while plank walks run for miles along the seaside, Judging trom the number | of gallants and gushing maidens who patronize the “Lovers’ Waik,” there is reason to believe prayer with sentimental petitions. But the cot- will the livelong day one is at a loss to kiow which of them to admire most. Imagine yourself | dwellings of the place be:ore your eyes. From the Swiss cottage to the Chinese pagoda, and from in miniature 18 well represented. To be sure it would be strange if where so mucl good taste is displayed there were not here and there some evi- dences of eccentricity; but altogether @ neater or | more charming collection of pretty summer homes | it would be hard to find. Several distinguished Bostonians are among the residents, while the visitors include many people from the Maddie and Western States, hme THE HOTELS, A few years ago it would lave been a task of some diMculty for the stranger arriving in the | evening to find decent hotel accommodation, | especiaily during camp meeting week. Now there are hotels in abundance and scores of eating | houses. Most of these institutions, however, are | more than you get and lose on the quality of the gooas. As the Vineyard begins to assume the proportions and acquire the repucation of a tavor- ite Summer resort, so a lew oF the hotels—one tn particuiar—become eXtensive, not only in struc. ture but in demands. The trouble 1s, however, while the proprietors of these pretentious edifices endeavor to ape their clear headed and | well-established brethren in Saratoga and Long | Branch in point of tone and most assuredly in point of price, they fall far short of every idea of comfort, thinking, doubtless, that the religious Taye tire time lor reflection on the solids of this earth. THE RUROPEAN PLAN. Now, it is but just to say that some of the things | imported from Europe have proved of service in this country; but fam decid ey ofopinion that | the European plan, as worked at Oak Biuds, | ought to have been taxed so heavily that the | owner or owners of the patent would never have | alsposed of it, especially in the victnity A 3 camp ground. it was unintentionally that | heard anu mteresting conversation between two of those sable youny gentiemen who, with wisp broom in band, Can see a speck on your coat collar, wkere @ microscope would be of no avatl. “He's the bloodedest man { eva’ seed, he is.” “Who's de bloodedest man, George t) asked his friend in mourning. “Why dat yer fella’ just gwine out.

THE PASSAIC EXPEDITION. — Whe Jersey City Authorities Moving at Last—Mayor Traphagen and His Cara- van on the March—Foulness and Filth in the Water Supply. There is some prospect of relief at last for the patient and long-suffering people of Jersey City and Hoboken, They have been compelled to swa low mouthiuis of Mlthy water drawn from their hydrants to the pertl of whole families, It has been shown in the HERALD that even a physician was attacked trom drinking this water one morning and was confined to his house tor several days. The warning of eminent chemists like Professor Wurtz, of the Stevens’ Institute, created such alarm that the city physictana directed their attention to the case, and they endorse in the strongest terms the conclusions arrived at by the chemist Yetthe sluggish Board of Health made not a move, wiile Joud complaints went up from every quarter of the two cities. Mayor ‘raphagen resolved at laat to visit the reservoir at Belleville and see for himself the con- dition of the water on which so many thousands have to subsist, Yesterday morning he set out, accompanied by Chief Engineer Culver, Dr. Loch- ner, City Physician, and a representative of ihe HERALD. ‘The first stopping place was the bridge where the pipes cross the Hackensack River, and where the leak occurred some weeks ago. The pipe is now thoroughly repaired. On tue west side the rusty chains, devised by the wisdom (?) of the ola Water Board to hold the curved joints together as they descend into the river, have been removed, and good, substantial braces of iron supply their place, While leaks were discovered here and there in the iron pipes not asingie leak las yet been discovered in the new iron and cement pipe on which the city has to depend mainly in case of emergency. Arrived at Belleville the party tuspected the massive machinery shat draws the water irom the river almost at the f it into the stand 220 feet oo nalghs, by gravity to the about mile distant, au y the distributing reservoir at Jersey City Cornish and one duplex engme are constantly at work. The former draws up 600 gallons at everz stroke, or about 7,000,000 gallons a day, while the latter pumps 8,000,000 a day. It will be thus seen that 15,000,000 gallons are suppiied daily to the reservoir that ieeds Jersey City and Hoboken. An examination was then made of that part of the miver in which the condull enters, and here was something to disturb one’s palate. Masses of fith floated alongand were drawn into the conduit by the suction of the pumps. The screens were so fixed however, that dead animals or masses of weeds canuot pass through, bat they become so clogged that they are changed twice a | day. A flood tide was sweeping along, and the sewerage matter of Newark was swept with it. | As the filthy current moved along so muddy that. no Object could ve detected in it below a depth of three or four inches, a thick scum here and there, resembling coal tar, indicated the proximity of lactories. The banks on ei her side are lined with outhouses m the very neishoorhood of the reser- voir.

Aiter passing through a delightiul secon of country dotted with handsome residences, the plane was reached, To the upper level of the canal the boats are drawn on an inctined plane out of the water below by water power, There is a superabundatice of water on tls plane. From this point upwards the Morris Canal taps almost the entire water shed of the Passaic. To this point Hopatcong sends out its crystal waters. The over- flow itsell trom the head of the plane as the party saw it is sufictent in Mr. Culver’s opinion to supply Newark and Jersey City. The er level as 174 feet above tide water. ‘The level at the Belleville reservoir is 154 tect. and in the Jersey City reservoir 125 feet. Bloomtield plane being, therefore, twenty feet higher than Belleville, the present source of supply, a gravity supply of pure water could be obtained from the former by Jer- sey City and Newark. [t would be necessary merely tolay a pipe three miles in length from the plane to Belleville, ‘une Mayor here asked what were the chief ad- vantages in favor of the proposed supply. Mr. Culver replied that the supply would be iree irom all drainage, and would be ample for all time for Newark and the municipalities of Hudson county. The level of Lake Hopatcong, twenty-two mile distant from Bloomfield, is 900 feet above tide- water. ‘The fall from Bloomfield to Belleville is twenty teet, and from Belleville to Jersey City thirty feet. The same level cannot pe found on the watershed of che Passaic as at Bloomticld till the Rockaway River be reached. Mr. Culver re- gardsitasa@ great mistake that when Jersey City ‘was erecting the works at Belleville, mn 1852, it aid not purcuase this yery water supply at the price of $250,000, offered by the Morris Canal Company. The cost of Machinery alone (which has been more than five times that amount) would thus have | been saved and the necessity of changing the sup- ply avoided. Mayor ‘Traphagen will embody bia views on the question in a report to be presented to the Hoard of Public Works and to Mayor Perry, of Newark. PREPARING FOR THE COMING EXHIBITION OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE, Ahandsome fountain, 40 feet in diameter, has been erected in the Rink building on Second and ‘Third avenues, between Sixty-tnird and Sixty- fourth streets, and will be one of the principal at- tractions of the coming fair to be heid under the auspices of the American Institute, A Howard safety boiler, 200-horse power, has also been put in place in the building, to be used in moving the machinery which will be placed on exhibition. | ‘The boiler is a monster piece of machinery. Fora week past workmen have been busily engaged ip preparing the building for the reception of the one hundred thousand and one articles that will be on exhibition. On Monday last the building was thrown open for the receptton of massive mia- | chinery and small machinery and articles of an imperisbable nature, and many such goods have already arrived. Tho latter part of the present month other departments will bo opened for the reception of miscellaneous ‘oods, but the public will not be admitted until the | yth of September, the day of the grand opening of the fair. The managers say they have received applications for permission to exhibit goods from many far distant cities, 4 anticipate that the display of machinery this year will exceed in quantity 4nd in importance that of any previous exibition of the Institute. In addition to the list of awards of diplomas, medals, &c., previously re- | ported in the HBRALD, the managers state that @pecial premiums will be given by prominent citt- gens for Various products and articles of merit.

Painfal as it is to the feelings, and disastrous as itis to the pockets of the proprietors of the springs, it must be admitted that the present sea son iS @ dead failure in every respect, The season has now reached its climax, and instead of an im, menee throng of visitors (the rush it is eailed), the croW: oes not nutaber over half the average of what it has been in previous years since the war | at this very period. This great falling off ts, m part, attrivutable to a variety of causes, among which are the eifects of the panic, short crops and floods in the South: but tne main cause, lam as sured, is owing to the bad management, miserable accommodations and indifferent fare at this the the great centre of the springs region. As a pop- ular summer resort the White Suipnur stands sec. ond to no other on the Continent; but, unfortu- nately, it i8 80 controlled by its own, ers—a joint stock company—that it is fast losing 118 great prestige, and will, Li not sold, be suunned in the future by, visitors in search of pleasure, comfort, health or amusement. ‘The present proprietors can scarcely be blamed for this siate of anatrs, as they lease the place trom year to year, liable to be dispossessed of it at any moment, and therefore unwilling to incur the msk of making any impyovements, magme an estab- lishment capable of accommodating two thousand visitors, as large as an ordinary country towa, con- verted into A MONOPOLY under the control of one exclusive management, Of course it has become unpopular, and for the best of reasons. In the first place, the majority of the cottages are dilapidated, rotten, leaky, mouldy, damp, and very unhealthy to live in; the main ho- tel is Nttle better, and the furniture in all of them 1s of the most begyarly, filthy and miserable descrip- tion ever seen at any place of public entertainment, not excepting a cross roads tavern in Eastern Tennessee. Asa sample, the cottage in which I am located, on Alabama “row,” 1s built on the de- clivity ofa mountain. From the very back door, the cottage being lald flat on the earth, the ascent to this mountain is very precipitous, almost at an angle of forty-five degrees; so that when it rains (pours it does iiere) little rivulets tumbie down the mountain sides and empty themseives in the basement of the cottages, resulting in dampness and mould and productive of pneumonia. | THE FURNITURE conststs of a narrow, rickety, creaky bedstead, | with neither head nor foot board, but the mainder of the waodwors, being w ited with cainches, or bedbugs, as they more commonly known.

The News says:— The town at the last accounts was entirely at the mercy and in the possession of & mob of mud negro savages, WhO Were shooting at eaca other with the greatest possible gusto, A lew words of explanation wiil enable the people of tits civilized country to understand the situation and to ap- preciate the beauties of radical reformanon this State, The republican party in Georgetown county if composed of ignorant negroes, One fac- tion is led by W. H. Jones, a noisy negro, who holds the position of Siate Senator unt 1876, but who seems to be desirous of perpetuating his political power with a prospective eye to the office of Adjutant General of the State, whieh office is to be filled in the coming election, The opposing faction is led by James A. Bowley, a mem. ber or the just House of Representatives and Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, who, in two years, made a handsome fortune of 350,000 or $60,000 on a salary of $600 A year, ley uses his money in the campaign, and Jones, who seems not to be quite 80 flush, but who is Colonel of the militia, uses the guns, so that the sinews Of War seem to be about eq divided, What position the two leaders occupy tn relation to the gubernatorial canvass does not seem to be very clearly understood, Both have been bellow- ing very loudly for reform; but which one wants to reform with Moses, or wincn one to re‘orm with Chamberlain, has not yet been ascertained. Bver since the caimpaign opened these two lights of South Carolina republicanism have been making things hot for the decent peopje ot the county. On Wednesday last, as has been stated in this paper, & convention was called to mect ab George- town to nominate delegates to the State Repabh- can omimating Convention. The Georgetown Times explains that “two calls were made ior this Convention—one by the Bowleyites at twelve o'clock, the other by the Jonesites at two o'clock. ‘The Court House was the piace, ‘The ob of one party was to forestall the other. The Two o’Clocks were determined to break up the Tweive o'Clocks, and the Twelve o'Clocks, if defeated, to completely annihilate tue Two o’Clocks. So, at the roll of the drum and the t« S assem- bled at the an nd entered into @ meeti: or @ miserable apology for a drank-* en brotl or brutal row, whereby that same seat of justice was profaned, the public peace invaded and decency violated.” The riot that ensued has already been described in these columns. The bullets of the Bowiey reformers proved to be too strong for the Jones reformers, and the 1 ter incontinently fled after several of them i been wounded. In the méiée an unormnate negro, Who was a bystander, was mortaily wounded by @ pistol shot, ‘The Bowley reformers being now masters of the situation reorganized th In the meantime pump water had re! wounded scaips, old demijonns had toriified siac to the } ened courace and the Jonesites went rescue.” But too late, The flush o1 victory had rendered the Bowievites donoly strong, and the Jonesites were competied to beat a retreat, barling back in deflance tke words, ‘Beware aud watt!? This Was the situation at the close of Weanes- Gay, and tie following letters will give tie reader an idea of the pandemonium which now began, It may be stated here that the population of the town of Georgetown consists ol 748 whites and 2,772 colored, Tne population of the county is 2,773 wiittes and 15,388 colored persons.
