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. FROM SOUTH AMERICA. Battle Between the Paraguay ans and Brazilians. Defeat of the Paraguayans with Heavy Loss. WELSH EMIGRATION TO PATAGONIA. ■team Between New Work, SUo and Buenos Ayres. Advice* from South America to the 24th of July state that the Paraguayans had suf fered a reverae near San Borgia. A Brazilian force had attacked the van guard ot the Paraguayan army and driven it back, with a loss of seven hundred men, three thousand horses and two flags. Tbe Brazilians report a loss of one hun dred and fifty men killed and wounded. The Emperor of Brazil was, „at last ac counts, at Bueno* Ayres. (Correspondence or the New York Herald.) 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 tivity which the cold suspeuaa among the allies. A alight reverse has been sustained by the Paraguayans In the province of Rio Grande, and the defeat on the river in the §reat naval battle ot the 11th ult. was a sad low to them. As they are so completely shut out from oceau commerce they may full for want ot ammunition. They are al ready beginning to save it from all needless W Porter C. Bliss, an American, is engaged in writing a history of this war, from the Paraguayan standpoint. It is being done under the direct auspices of President Lopez, and 1* to be published in Loudon. The war has taken over twelve thousand men out of this city,and yet we feel but little Inconvenience for want of hands at any work. In the country there is more scarcity; but Urn Work on the railroads goes on al •most If there was no war. The Nortnem Railroad does not do mnch In wintei; but It is making its work more regular by giving Importance to a sheltered port where steam ers begin or end their trips. The Western Railroad la extending Into the heart of the fineet wheat region in South America— Chivilcoy. Aa the roads are bad, and this road extend* now over fifty miles, ita beat time la In our winter. The Southern Rail road runs ita cars a distance of sixty mile* already, and will soon be formally opened. A welshcoloov has arrived, intending t© settle in Patagonia. There ate three thousand [migrant* coming to this set tlement, of whom two hundred and fifty are gas ground. They bring their own mills, loolhs, mechanics, Ac., with them, and soon Intend owning a iio# of vessels—steam— to cany on their own trade. It U not likely that urn British government ban any formal connection with this movement; but aa it la SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 7, 1865. 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 than six American vessels in port at one time. The Agnes Fraser sailed yesterday for New York. The weather is good for the farming interests. Nothing noteworthy in money affairs. Rates are no higher than before tbe war. Affairs in the West Indies. 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. LEGAL KUTKEI, STATE OF OEOROIA —CHATHAM COUNTY.-To all whom it rosy concern : Whereas John O.
