Boston, Aug. 31.
To the Savannah Herald:
Return of the PleaenrW-Seefcera.
It is the last day of summer, and those
migratory birds of fashion who fly away to
the mountains and the seashore on the ap
proach of warm weather, sre beginning to
return to their homes in the city. The
amount of pleasure-travel and pleasure-so
jotirnicg throughout New Eogland this sum
mer ha 9 been far beyond that of any season
within the memory of “the oldest inhabi
tant,” whose head is whitened with the snow
of many winters, and who has also lived
quite a number of summers. The whole New
England coast, from Newport to Mount De
sert, has swarmed with pleasure-seekers.—
You can scarcely follow the coast-line for
ten miles without coming upon a summer re
sort more or less famous, with peaches, head
lands, drives, bathing-houses, hotels, bands
of music, high charges, belles, beaux, water
falls, and all those appurtenances which fol
low in the 'mperial train of fashion. But the
seashore is only one side—l may say the
outside—of New England resorts. There are
the famous fashionable centres among the
mountains, lakes and springs. Every bill of
any considerable altitude has become a resort,
and is furnished with a hotel, or hotels,
walks, drives, traditions and scandal, all of
which make up the fashionable watering.
Besides, the rural districts, far and near, are
colonized by families who seek a change of
air, a taste of nature, and the milk of one real
cow for the baby, on economical terms,
while others, .more exclusive because more
able, have their country houses for occupa
tion during the heated term. I don’t know
where all the people went from. Boston
streets have been full all the time, and were
it not for the rows of silent and dark brick
houses on many of our fashionable thorough
fares, one would scarcely believe that so
many people were out of town. Few cities
In tbb country have less need to send their
denizens out of town In summer than Bos
ton. Our streets are nanow, but therefore
shady; our park 9 and squares are within
reach of all, being in the centre of the city ;
and our position on the coast gives us cooler
weather really—at any rate, less constant
hot weather than they have in the interior
of New England. But who would
be so vulgar as to stay in town ? Many of
the wealthiest business men of Boston, as
well as the scholars and artists who shed
honor on the city, live in the suburbs, where
there are hundreds of princely establish
ments. The suburbs of Boston are beauti
ful beyond comparison with anything in this
country. The drives anywhere within ten
miles of the city take one through an endless
succession of villas and grounds adorned
with every appliance that taste can suggest
and money turnish. All who visit the city
should extend their visit to the suburban
towns—Roxbury, Cambridge, Dorchester,
Brookline, Jamaica Plains, Malden, Somer
ville, and many more—or they will know
little about the real character of the “ hub
of the Universe.” The strangers who take
this most favorable view leave with the best
impressions, which they are not slow to ex
press with whatsoever enthusiasm their na
ture will.
Uu. n gThe Approachlag Seaton,
to which the birds of passage are returning,
promises to be gay and thriving. The peo
ple, though rejoicing somewhat awry when
they look at their tax bills, are delighted with
the return of peace and the evidences of pros
perity. The reign of high prices con-tlnues,
but labor is also employed and well paid;
all departments of Industry are in full blast,
money is plenty, and folks are determined
to be gay. The numerous fortunes that have
been made during the war by favorable con
tracts and adroit swindles will bring into the
fashionable arena many new people who will
spend money like water to attract attention.
The old cod-fish aristocracy must lie low in
Beacon street, for Shoddy and Petroleum are
building elegant houses on the Back Bay
Lands, and they will occupy the best seats
at the opera, and give the most stunning
balls of the season. Balls, parties and routes
will soon be the fashionable town talk. The
theatres are all open already, and the opera—
Maretzek's—is coming bv and by. Lavender
languishes for the new campaign, and vul
garity is ready to take a position in the van.
Outrages
against the public peace have been less com
mon of late than they were a short lime
since. The four rufflaD* who committed a
midnight rape ou a woman in the heart of
the city, two or three weeks ago, found out
without much delay that the way of the
transgressor is hard. The Grand Jury was
in session at the time the crime was perpe
trated ; a bill waa found end returned imme
diately to the Court; the prisoners were ar
raigned and tried, and iu about e week from
the date of the outrage the four rascals had
entered upon the duties of life sentences at
the State Prison. Judge Russell, whose
name is a terror to evil-doers, was the Jus
tice to whom they owe this favor. The
Judge is a brick. He sent about a dozen
malefactor* to the State institution at the last
term of the Court, and he generally gave
them the extent of the law. In the case men
tioned above, die counsel for the defence
made an ffiort tb break down the
Bates, who waa the victim and the principal
with**- They awweded in showing that
aha was a queer woman, living with another
man than her husband, who had another
wife; but the Jury decided that even a bawd
had rights which white men and others are
bound to respect—among which is the right
to choose the character and number of her
guests at one session.
The News 1* Dull.
Tne lull in criminal disclosures for the last
week, and the absence of aDy railroad “phe
nomena”—as the Tribune calls them—for
the same period, besides the stupid honesty
of clerks and cashiers in our business houses,
tend to make Boston a dull place for people
who like sensations. A New Yorker would
be discontented here; he would have to go
Into the Police Court, which would moke
him exclaim with the Chicago man abroad,
who was restored by the smeU of a rotten
fish, “That smells like home!"
Our Communications
are not exactly cut offi as they used to say
in war times (don’t it seem strange to
write about the war times that used
to was?), but they need to be extended
The Boston press, almost without ex
ception, have been urging our mer
chants and capitalists to establish steamship
lines with Savannabi Charleston, Mobile and
Galveston. A line with New Orleans has
just been started, after many delays, and
there Is no reason why other lines to the
other Southern ports mentioned should Dot
be established at once- Nearly all the cotton
which is not sent to Europe must come to
New England to be manufactured. We
want your cotton ; you want the manufac
tured goods which we turn out of all sorts,
including our choice varieties of beech and
walnut nutmegs. Your merchants can buy
our manufactures in Boston a good deal
cheaper than you can in New York. It will
cost you no more to bring cotton to Boston
and take back Yankee notions than it will to
take your cotton to New York, and take
back Yankee notions from there. Establish
direct trade with Boston, and you will get
more for cotton and pay less for “ notions”
by the cost of transportation to and from be
tween Boston and New York, to say nothing
about 1 the great expenses of rent, &c., in
New York, and the heavy profits those Go
thamites demand. Boston and Savannah are
interested in common in this matter, and I
hope to see the cities placed in communica
tion by a line of first class steamships. The
same also holds true in regard to Charleston,
Mobile and Galveston; and capitalists who
fail to see it, or, seeing it, fail to act, must
be blind to their ow ft interests.
A Granite Statue
of Alexander Hamilton, of colossal size, has
Just been erected in Commonwealth avenue,
a beautiful double street, with a park in the
centre, which runs from the Public Garden
across the new lands of the Back Bay to
Brookline Heights. The Statue is the work
of Dr. Rlmmer, and it was purchased and
presented to the city by Henry Lee, Jun., a
public spirited and wealthy citizen. Tb a
makes two colossal statues erected in the
city this summer—the other being of Horace
Mann, of bronze, in the State House grounds;
and those of Washington and Everett will be
in position before another year rolls round.—
Boston Is rapidly becoming a monumental
city, with a history, traditions, statues,
paintings, and all those works of art and in
stitutions of science which educate and
adorn life. lota.

Bckkos Ayres, July 12, 186. r >.
The war here progresses* slowly. Paraguay
ha* ventured as 9uerman ventured, and so
far with similar impunity. At present there
are three grand divisions of the Paraguayan
army, each one advancing, without meeting
any serious impediment. Bach of the three
countries of the allies hss been invaded by
Paraguay. The province of Corrientes has
been almost laid waste by the invaders. Rio
Grande, a province of Brazil, has also been
entered and one of its chief towns taken, and
Uruguay has been invaded by a wing of the
same force.
At present we are in mid winter, and the
warmer latitude of Paraguay, allows of ac

allies. A alight reverse has been sustained
by the Paraguayans In the province of Rio
Grande, and the defeat on the river in the

across an arm of only two hundred miles
from the Falklands it may form the basis of
an English claim at some future time.
This country is greatly interested In the
new steam line between New York and Rio
Janeiro. A proposition is now before Con
gress to subsidize a continuation of this line
to Buenos Ayres or Rosario, with an annual
subvention of twenty thousand dollars in
silver,. This will no doubt be done. The
company at home will be greatly benefitted
by this extension of the route, as it will he
sd important auxiliary, and will give great
importance to the mails carried from New
York.
The scientific expedition under tbe direc
tion of Professor Agassiz promises interest
ing results. The Professor is an old friend
of the Emperor of Brazil, Don Pedro 11.,
and be has met with great favor from his
Majesty. The Emperor placed a fine steam
er at the service of the expedition, and the
Professor gave a series of lectures in French
before the court.
Don Podro is a learned man. He is well
and practically acquainted with all modern
sciences, speaks elegantly seven languages,
and is familiar with tbe classics of Greece
and Rome. His father, Don Pedro 1., was
also a learned and practical man. He had
his son, the present Emperor, taught the
trade of a wood carver. His private labora
tory would do honor to almost any universi
ty, and the Emperor would make a capital
professor, whether of ancient or modern lan
guages, or of sciences.
Mr. A. G. Goodsll, the representative of
the American Bank Note Engraving Com
pany, is here and doing a grand business.
He has received many large orders here
from banks and from tbe government. His
visit will no doubt result in an improved
public taste, as tbe present style of engraving
paper money and postage stamps here is be
hind the age. This company will in future
eDgrave neurly all the stamps of every kind
used in South America.
The agent of the American Bible Society
is meeting with great success in his woik in
these countries. He was in prison a few
days in Uruguay for not having a proper li
cense, but he was released and received a
paper commending him everywhere. As an
annual license costs one hundred dollars in
silver, this paper from the Secretary of State
was of great value to him and to the cause.
It commends bis books and gives him per
sonal security.
For a long time we have not had more

Distress and Expected Outbreak
in Jamaica.
THE HAYTIEN REBELLION |
(Correspondence of the X. Y. Herald.)
Kingston, Jam., Aug. 2, 1865.
Starvation among the Negroes— Bad Effect of I
Queen Victoria's Letter of Advice—Expected
Outbreak—Ttvo Gunboats Despatched to Keep
Order—The Haytien Rebellion President
G’ffrard Making Sure of His Retreat—A
Steamer Detailed to Wail for Him.
The late severe and protracted drought
one of the most trying of those periodical
calamities with which Jamaica b&3 ever been
visited—has developed a fearful amount of
poverty among the masses, and produced
widespread distress among the negroes in
the country parts and the poor peopie of tbe
towns, many of whom are in a starving con
dition. Added to this, the necessaries of life
are very heavily taxed, and at a period like I
tbe present, when food is both scarce and I
dear, tbe imposts tall upon the consumer '
with terrible weight. As to articles ot cloth
ing, these are so high priced, und money is j
such a rare commodity in this country now, j
that In some places the people cannot attend
church nor send their cmlaren to school for
want of decent apparel. Some months ago
a number of blacks in one of the mountain
districts had a meeting among themselves,
and determined to send a memorial to Queen
Victoria, stating their sad condition, and
asking the Interposition of her Majesty in
their behalf. The memorial was duly pre
pared, and forwarded to its destination
through the Governor of the colony, this
being the official etiquette in all such cases.
It was believed that the meeting in question
was got up at the instigation of an agitator
named Underhill, who is extremely obnox
ious to his Excellency, and to the planters
generally; and so the Governor, iu trans
mitting the document to Downing street,
made certain comments ot his own upon it
calculated to neutralize any effects favora
ble to the petitioners which iu perusal
might produce on the royal iniud These
comments produced the desired impression,
and the consequence is that a reply (already
published in the Herald) has come out from
the Secretary of State tor the Colonies, the
Hon. Mr. Cardwell, acknowledging the re
ceipt of the memorial by her Majesty, and
advising the petitioners and all of their class,
in the Queen's name, to work more regularly
ana diligently for the planters than they have
have hitherto done, informing them at the
same time that their condition, whatev.r
may be its hardships, compares favorably
with that of the peasantry in England. Im
mediately on receiving this despatch, the
Governor caused several hundred copies of It
to he printed in bill form and posted up all
over the country, for the edification of the
natives. This reply and his Excellency*
conduct in the business, have roused a very
angry feeling throughout the country, and
one of the newspapers has warmly espoused
the cause of the people, condemning the
Colonial Minister and Governor Eyre in no
measured terms, and contending that the
negroes have just cause for complaint in the
one-sided, partial legislation of the colony,
which bears most oppressively upon them.—
Public meetings are being held all through
tlie colony, largely attended by the blacks,
at which the conduct of the Hon. Mr. Card
well and Mr Eyre is freely canvassed and
severely censured ; for the people in their
strong and confiding loyalty will not believe
“ their good Queen” knows anything at all
about the matter. At these meetings reso
lutions are passed—generally mem. die.—
setting forth grievances and the distressed
condition of the country.
So great is the popular excitement on the
western part of the Island that some out
break is feared, and two gunboats have been
despatched from Port Royal to that quarter,
one to be stationed at the town of S&vana
La Mar. and the other al Montego Bay.
These are precautionary measures; but from
all I can learn I do not believe there will be
any violation of law and order. Into the
merits of tbe case, between the belligerent
parties, lam not disposed to eater here; but
tbU I can tell you, that there is at present a
fearful amount' of poverty and distress in
Jamaica. It is really no exaggeration to say
that thousands are in a starving condition;
and what with the drought, the scarcity of
money and tbe abandonment of sugar estates,
in many districts the laborers find it impos
sible to obtain employment. So fkr as lam
able to Judge, it appears to me that faulty
legislation, especially In the shape of heavy
taxes, has had much to do with the present
distress.
We have late news from the neighboring
Island of HaytL where, It appear*, the insur
gents against President Gefirard’a adminis
tration still resolutely keep the government
fence* at bey; If, Indeed, they are not gain-
ing ground. The Haytien Consul here hns
just chartered the Jamaica Packet, a small
steamer employed in coastiug round the
island, with the view of despatching her to
Haytl. It was rumored at first that she was
to lie used in conveying arms, ammunition
and men from Port au Prince to Cape Hayti,
where the insurgents are in force ; but I have
learned that she is to remain at the former
price, in order to afford Geffrard an oppor
tunity of escaping to this place should the
appeal to arms result unfavorably for his
cause. He owners are to be paid seven hun
dred and fifty dollars a day during her de
tention.
