' No. 7.—Saratoga.
TO TUB KMTOlUt OF THE OF.ORatAN.
After ft night's rest at Schenectady, we took aa
accommodation mid proceeded for Saratoga by
way. of it all#ton Spring** Balbtan is a handsome
'village, by many degrees superior in this particu
lar to Saratoga ft is surrounded by hills', and the
•ccuery in the neighbourhood is beautiful. At the
closo of the Revolutionary War, this place wash
perfect wilderness, and for a long period the only
’ place of shelter was a log house near the old
Spring. This it is said, was' first discovered by
means of a path made by the deer to it. It has
now, however, lost Us character, and is superseded
by others since discovered, sometimes by boring;
and at others rising naturally to the surface.—
Thirty years ago, aud for many years since, lia 11-
• ston was tlic principal resort ofcoinpany, who vis
ited this part of llie world for recreation & health.
At tlmt period there were no accommodations at
Saratoga, and it was usual to form parties for the
purpose of an excursion to it, who returned to Bnll-
•ton to dinucr. The attractions, however, are yet
considerable, and though it possesses no sprmg as
popular as the Congress Spring nt Saratoga, there
are many whoso virtues are highly extolled by the
.Faculty. These are tho Washington Spring, the
Lafayette, the Uuited States, the Old and the New
Springs—tho latter near tho Sans Snuci hotel, and
is most frequented—it was obtained by boring to
the depth of 300 feet, in 1027, and is considered
both saline and ehnly bentc. The taste of the wa
ter is by no means unpleasant. There is a pleas
ant little Lake about four miles from Houston. In
the viltuge also, will bo found a Library J& Read-
lug Hoorn. There is in the neighbourhood n pre
cipice some'00or70ft. high,culled the Lover sLcnp.
toycr’s Leaps ore so uncommon in these days, un
like every thing hi the classic days of ancient
•’Greece, that it was worth some trouble to inquire
into the origin of its romantic cognomen, but as l
ouly passed Its neighbourhood, without stopping,
1 was not enabled to ascertain that or its topogra
phy. That lover in these days, who would lean a
precipice of 70 feet, for disappointment, would bo
.considered a very silly youth, whoso memory
\vould bo expunged from the records of fashion for
ever, and there are few who would be so despe
rate us to risk so great au .evil—tho_ ladies too
would consider it so shocking! There is nothing of
the kind thought of now-a-days, except in the pa
ges of a novel, ortheln«t scene of u play, nnu all
our tears arc reserved for such occasions, it being
lug extremely vulgar to weep over real distress,or
lo expend our fine feelings on every-day misery.
Besides,the essence of stylo is self-ndmirntion, aud
it is against all rule to suppose such a being to ex
ist, as to be insensible to our value, or if lie, she or
it is so insensible, it is owing to a want ot taste or
a want of sense; so that wo uro easily reconciled
to ourselves and to si world which we cannot at our
hearts deprive of our valusiblo presence. I have
heard of such a thing as killing ones’ sell for love,
hut it was for love ofthe fortune oflho fair deceiv
er, mul that all the world acknowledges is very dis
tressing iudeed! „ „ . . , ,
Tlie Sans Souci liotel nt llnllston is a most union-
/lid edifice of wood, comprising a front mill two
wings—the former 100 lVet, the two latter JnU tcct
.each in length—tlic rear of llie house is laid out as
u garden, aial it is surrounded by extensiv e piaz-
< There are but ‘>»0 or 40 inmates in it at pres
ent, but it is generally well filled during llie season.
Leaving llnMon, we passed through a sandy
. roiul affording no great diversity, and generally en
closed with trees, upon turning mi angle in which,
•even miles from onr place ut departure,tjie village
of .-Saratoga, that scene nt the present season, ot
“ frolic, fashion mid Hash.” met our sight. I he
view opens directly upon the principal street of the
village,to which the road descends, and uInch,
contains all the splendid hotels, opening t.icn* spa
cious portals at the present season, to the inidti-
tude who resort to this central point ot attraction
to the fashionable, the diseased, the idle and llie
curious, from every part ofthe United la tales, and
we may almost say the world. I’or iio outer por
tion ofthe world is blessed with as many or as ex
cellent living fountains ofliealth, as Ibis fctide,and
particularly Ibis neighbourhood nllords, and no
foreigner omits to visit them who desires to view
tho curiosities or judge ofthe society of our coun
try. The region in which these spr ings are found,
•extends from HaUston to Saratoga, and several
miles fnrtlier, in every part of which they gush
from tho earth in liberal profusion. At Saratoga,
they rise generally in a ravine, which runs in the
rear ofthe village, bubbling up in the tubes fitted

<o them, mul furnished with platforms aud seats
for the accommodation of visitors. Tho principal
of these, the Congress .Spring, which f has attained
more celebrity than any other in the United States,
is situated on the right ofthe road as you enter the
village, and is more used than any or nil the Olli
ers. There are baths in the neighbourhood <>1 sev
eral ofthe Springs, from which they are supplied
'with water. The taste of the water of the Uoa-
tircRH .Spring is more saline than tho others, hut is
Jar from disagreeable, w liilst that of the Hound
Rock is extremely pleasant. Ur. Steel, a pbysi-
iCinu here, has recently published u work upon the
Wuters, in which he decries the extravagant
quantity sometimes drank at the Congress spring,
which used to excess, in weak constitutions, cre
ates cold shivering!! mid agues, a? well as u sense
of fullness very disagreeable—to prevent this lie
recommends that not more than four or live tum
blers should lie taken ns a dose until the stomach
has become accustomed to them, and if they have
no effeet, that the patient dissolve in a tumbler of it
u small dose of salts or calomel. The waters are
recommended lor the cure of all the complaints to
Which flesh is heir, except those of a pulmonary
type—hut they are considered as jitirtieularly ser
viceable in dispepsia, and complaints originating
in long n residence in Southern climates. The
water is handed from the Spring to visitors by boy*
In tumblers dipped into the water, by means ol *
rod of the required length. At tho Congress Sp g.
bottles are constantly filling for transportation, to
'tin immense amount, to every part of the Union.
As you enter the village, you obtain a view of
*\he principal street, for nearly its whole extent, on
which are situated the splendid Hotels wlnwo rep
utation alone is an attraction. The first of these
is the Congress Hull, on the right, a building of the
most spacious, airy aud showy description, winch
when enlivened, with company promenading the
piazza, appears a perfect palace of pleasure. This
with the U. States liotel, is now the most fashion
able house. The latter is more substantially built
of brick, a little further on to the left, on the high
est ground in the village. The Pavilion is on the
right, near the upper end of the village. It is
built of wood, and equally spacious with the other
two, and has a piazza extending along its front,
with a billiard room and baths in its renr, and a
garden nt one extremity. It is n first rate bouse
in every respect, but at the time of our visit, was
not as well filled as the other leading establish
ments. In all these houses, balls arc given regu
larly on stated nights, to which subscriptions arc
received—on other evenings they are confined to
the boarders and their guests, and those aro called
“ Hops,” so that there is a constant round of u-
tnusement and gaiety* The rate of these houses
is $10 per week. There is another hotel opposite
the Congress Hnll, called Union Hall, (tho Aunt
Tabitha thinks from the number of staid single
gentlemen about it, that it is any thing but a Union
Hall) at which the boarders are not annoyed (as
some out-of-date mortals will be) by balls and
noise as they are ntthc other houses; rate of board
ing hero is eight dollars. The whole street is lin
ed with inferior hotels and private boarding bouses
at which entertainment may he had “ for man or
horse” at all prices,from 50 up to the first rates,
every one throwing open his door* to accommodate
the stranger, and to catch the golden shower which
falls around hifnforthe brief period of a Saratoga
season. During this time too, various itinerant
shows are brought to the place, but Ido not be
lieve they succeed well. The Albany malingers
were here a short time with n detachment, but
their losses were such as soon to convince them of
the necessity of a rctrognde movement.
Mr. Davidson, the editor of the Saratoga Senti
nel, keeps a very excellent Heading Hoorn, (by the
way I wish you would send the Georgian regular
ly, I assure you it is in great demand among us of
the South)—he has ulso a well selected Circula
ting Library, which serves to while away many a
tedious hour, which would otherwise hang heavy
on our hauds. He has also a valuable collection of
minerals, with some other curiosities in an upper
room, among which I perceived two “ British bul-
1 ets and a Yankee buckshot,” from tho plums of
Saratoga. I confess I cannot discover the differ
ence between the former and those of American
manufacture,though it is said they arc distinguish
ed by being larger. I have been presented with
one of them, however, and when we meet, w ill re
fer it for your decision, which, in mailers of taste
and vertul consider a rule absolute. There is ulso
a piece of willow from tho tomb of Napoleon, a
specimen of pyrites from Georgia, Ac. The den-

State of Trade —The state of our market
this week has been extremely gloomy and
discouraging. Very little demand lias been
experienced for ouy description of our manu
factures excepting yarns for exportation; for
them the demand continues good, and largo
orders bave boon executed. In piece goods,
especially for tho home trade, very little
business has been done; and for goods for
exportation tho demand has also been ex
ceedingly limited.—The Stockport weavers
have been obliged nt length to return to tb6ir
labours, having agreed to the terms against
which they have stood out so long. It is cal
culated that this circumstance will cause an
influx of goods into the market, already glut
ted to excess, of 20,000 pieces per week.

Paris, July 31.—The Semaphore of Mar

our unfortunate countrymen who fell into the
hands of the Bedouins during tho fast engage
ment which took place upon the coast. All
of them, to tho number of 24, have been
massnerood without pity. Their heads have
been brought to Algiers, and carried through
tho city. After this they were given up to
an English physician, who obtained, as a fa
vour, permission to have them buried.
Spain—A new commercial code has been
completed in Spain, for the compilation of

Constantinople, Jane 25.—The Mary,Plain,
is just arrived from Smyrna, after having had
her cargo of rice and flour taken out by tho

France.—The report ofthe immedinto ac
cession of Prince Polignac to the ministry,
has beon revived with great confidence at
Paris. An anonymous letter to the King,
exhorting him to crush what tho writer de
nominates (he usurpation of public opinion,
is said to have occasioned a groat sensation.
He implores his Majesty to direct his earn
est attention to the anomalous situation of
the kingdom, where, ho says, “ the love of
the Bubject ougnt to outweigh tho inviolabili
ty ofthe charter; and where a government,
called representative, usurps tbe place ol
the monarchy of.St. Louis.” Inconclusion,
he entreats the King not to allov tho pres

50,000 signatures to bis letter,that tbo peoplo
are ready to support it.

land to Tocahita, where they joined *Sa:it.i
Aoa and immediately proceeded for Tampi
co, and there they would meet a force of 10,-
000 men, hourly expected from the interior.
Thus an army of 13,000 freemen will bo rea
dy to give the Spaniards as wnVrn a recep
tion aetliey could wish. The Hoops of San
ta Ana arc said to be in excellent health and
spirits. A gentleman rccontly from Mexico

centrated at Tampico W'll exceed 15,000
men.
We Imve also been favored with tho per
usal of a letter from an officer of the Mexi

Chloride of Lime.—Tho Secretary cf
the Navy lias issued a circular to the com
manders of squadrons and ships of War in
structing them to use this article on board
tbo vessels for tbo purpose of purifying the
air and water. The ordinary method of using
this salt to purify foul air is, to dissolve one
quarter of a pound io ono pint of water.—
When about to be applied, let this bo mixed
with about 40 times tfio quantity of fresh
water, and sprinkled over the part infected,
until tho state of the air is corrected.

It is said in tbe National Gazette, that
deaths, by Yellow Fever, ofthe strongest

but thero was no contagion, and tho passen

The sickness prevailing in tho District bf
Columbia is very serious. A letter published
in the New York Courier from Washington
says,—“Our bills of mortality for the last and

which have occurrod, were produced, not
from diaoaso originating in the city, but the
seeds of which were sown in and pervadin;

from being cumpcllud to desist their opera

The following is an extract. :
Intemperance—Insanity.—Thobloat.nl
face, and trembling hand—indigestion and
dropsy—diseased liver and kidneys,—arc
common and acknowledged effects of intem
perance. By this word intemperance, wo
do not menu merely drunkenness, but tbo
practice of daily at.mulaiiug beyond their
tiualtli and regular buata,thu heail and blood
vessels, by potations of vinous, mult, or dis
tilled liquors. It is not, perhaps, so gener
ally known that tho man of intemperate hab
its is prone to madness,and of course liable to
become the inmate of an hospital, or Jun&'ic
npyimn. Tbo instances of temporary mad
ness m drunkards are very common. After
some dwya they muy recover by suitable
medical treatment, but if they return to ttie.r
evil habits, they aro exposed to tresh attack-,
which finally prove fatal. A wound or a
fractured limb which, in common healthy
constitutions, would soon heal, will often ex
cite to frenzy the hobiUial drunkard, and be
the immediate cause of Ins death. The chan
ces of recovery from any disease whatever,
are inlinately less lor the drunkard than the
sober man. When the small-pox prevailed
so extensively in this city, in 1323-4, we
never knew of a drunkard who recovered
tiom au attack of the natural disease, that
is, where neither vacinntiou nor inoculation
bud been practised. He lor tho most part
died delirious.
But, independent of these instances of tem
porary and accidental madness, thero is n
t'ormiable list of the permanent and incurable
kind, caused by drunkenness. In a table of
1370 lunatics admitted into the asylum at
Cork, Dr. Hnlloran says that 160, nearly an
eighth of the whole number, were insane
from this unhappy indulgence. Though
the French are comparatively a sober people,
it appears tbut out of 2507 lunatics admitted
into their hospitals, 185 were insane from
tho same cause. Men are often driven to
self destruction by a habit of druukenness.—
Out of 218 cases of suicide, published by
Professor Casper of Berlin, (in a list of 500)
the causes of which were known, 54 were
tbe effects of drunkenness and dissipation.
any other period of their lives. And coul
the experiment bo made, we can scarcely
doubt that if a phild were to be excluded from
human society until it was six yoars old, it
would be a difficulty to teach it in four years
all that ordinary children acquire from tho
ages of two to six. For it is during that pe
riod that they learn to apeak with tolerable
correctness and fluency, their mother tongue,
and acquire much other information which
forma the ground work of their future char
acter. It would hence appoar lo be a mat-
of primary moment to place children, at that
ngo, under circumstances, best adapted to
duvelope those powers which arc given them
by the God of nature. In an Iufant School,
thoy have ail the excitements necessary to
produce this effect. And if the instructor is
qualified for the task, they will learulo speak
correctly—their habits and manners will re
ceive proper attention. Their minds will’
bo imbued wi»h many ofthe choicest maxims
of human prudence. And above all, they
will bo taught the greatest duties which thoy
owe to God—to their parents—to their re
latives—their associates, and tho world —
At the examination of Infant Schools, tho
answers aDd the demeanour of tho children,
have uniformly astonished and delighted ev
ery spectator And where those schools
have been tried, they have,in overy instance
exceeded the most sanguine expectations of
their friends and promoters. For cities thoy
aro peculiarly imports nt. In many of our
towns, there arc children enough to form a
school And such an institution is not im
practicable in those portions of tho country
where the population is dense.

ofthe most'popular iu the city. Some of
those who were most opposed are now num
bered amongst its warmest advocates. Jn
the winter, we anticipate a large accession—
an overflowing school.”
From all accounts, we are led to regard the
establishment of Infant Schools as a subject
of vast importance. When they are judi
ciously managed, they caunot fail to produce
the happiest results. For it is well known
that early impressions are the most durable.

LIVERPOOL, 8Ui August.—During tbo whole of

utui some disappointment was o\|iortotiood by tho uc-
maixl for Manchester goods being loss considerable than
had been anticipated . under these circumstances tho
demand for Cotton in tins niarUnl hs's boon exceedingly
languid, tho purchases being confined lo tho supplying
oflho immediate wants of thu trade, uud iu that period
llio prices havu declined \-8dlo 1 —Id per Ih. ; the great

qualities of Sea Islands aro 1-1-1 per lb. lower, amt tho
better qualities have become nearly unsaleable aud may
ho purchased at a much greater reduction ; hut as nil
llie mills in Manchester that spin the first qualities are
slid not ui work,those who hold linn Cottons uro compel
led lo wail as patiuiitly us they can lor the revival in the
demand for them. Tho average sales ofthe Iasi six weeks
have been 11,720 bags pur week, and in tho present
ivjck they amounted to yUSUhags, of which 4020 have
been Uplands of ordinary to fair qualities, at o a 5 . r »-8d

With so large a stock of Cotton as i.r now held m the
ports -.f this country, and the hud and unprofitable state
of trade, we co.iltss we have hut slender hopes of any
amendment ot'consequence iu the prices ; yet us the
period tor receiving the chief supplies lor the year is
over, arid there have hceu at:counts received of thu
growing crops in the United States being likely lo bo
unproductive, should these he continued, an advance in
the degree m which they are so may reasonably he look
ed lor ; and under any circumstances, wo have no ex
pectation of lower prices prevailing (or the remainder ot
the year. In common with those engaged in other oc
cupations, the importers ot Cotton h ire again sustained
considerable lossis by the business of the present year,
and such of them as continue to stiip it, will, doubtless,
act with more than ordinary caution. There is, wo
think, no ground to justify hopes of increased consump
tion in Europe ; and increased production in thu United
States, and elsewhere, will inevitably cause the price*
still further to he reduced ; and should such as will meet
tliosu current in Europe he unprofitable to the planters,
they must grow Jess, or faro worse.
