ymvr Vfm ar In the Autumn. TnPwyraw Oma---A well conducted 'Print- SPECIAL-NOTICED HERALD; 37Tbd Charleston- Courier announces the death in that city of John Blake White, who was near the completion 'of hb seventy-ninth year. As an The time, is almost at hand when the "season" at It 1 most cf our popular watering places will close. The Keen air 01 we mountain resort wu warn ujc yuuru-er to leave; the now deserted balls at the frequented springs will present no more attractions, the ramble of the will be ended, and the very few weeks allotted for the annual rustic pDgrimage of fashion will be vv Ji'lJtJ It is to be regretted that the time which custom has apportioned for summer recreation is so brief- For the invalid now to return and exchange an invigorating ocean or mountain breeze for the sultry and oppressive atmosphere which usually prevails in the city during this and the coming month, may be very prejudicial to him. The short period of the general 4 'stampede" may also be neither convenient nor its bustle and crowding very agreeable to every one.

'f The Sea Shore continues longest and latest in the season to present its natural attractions and genial atmosphere to the invalid. We have th -advantage of having near us at least one delightful sea-side resort which is not made lonely by desertion evea in the month of October; and which is very accessible and unsurpassed for its accommodations and splendid dashing surf. During the month of September the water at Atlantic City is known to be warmer I than at any other time, and the increased means of recreation for those whose diversions lead them in the healthful pursuit of either fin or feather, the shooting and fishing season then coming on, add to the many attractions. The dryness of the air, for which Atlantic City is remarkable, continues through thean-tumn, and the place is entirely exempted from those seafogs which produce so imuch ncohvenience at most other resorts on our coast Sea bathing may be advantageously continued through the month of October. On the subject of bathing late in the fall, Dr.

Bell in his learned work on Bathing, makes the following remarks Even when the weather becomes cool, and the temperature of the water is undoubtedly lower that during the summer, it is a matter of experience and observation that some persons prefer the autumnal season for their bathing. They allege that the shock is greater and the reaction correspondingly prompt and more decided. Hence we may infer that the more robust and sanguine, and those whose ailments are associated with, if not kept up by considerable excitement of the general system, or even of a particular organ, may find their advantage in autumnal bathing. Were this latter more the practice, not to say the fashion among us, as it is in England, and to a limited extent in France, the full hygienic as well as the thera-pentical effects of sea bathing might be participated in by a much larger number of persons." Besides the bathing, the ever pure air from the sea continues during the autumn as temperate and as balmy ns it is at an earlier season. So we admonish those who are still enervated, or who have been detained at home during the temporary flight of fashion from the metropolis, that there it stili time and a place to enjoy all the beneficial and rational pleasures of the shore.

Philadelphia Medical and Surgical Reporter. Tom Thumb Wins a Race. The new yacht "Charles C. Stratton" made her trial trip Friday. A regular fleet of yachts and sailing vessels were waiting in the harbor, each determined to give the new craft a test of their sailing qualities.

At about three o'clock Mr. C. S. Stratton more familiarly known as "Gen. Tom Thumb" stepped on board his new yacht, accompanied by half a dozen friends, and gave orders to sail for Black Rock light house.

This was the signal for the entire fleet, and within three minutes a dozen little clippers spread their canvass to the breeze, and the race commenced. The "Stratton" soon took the lead, and the space between her and her tenders widened every moment. When she reached her destination, half of those who started with her had wheeled about, and commenced a return voyage, while the last boat in the crowd was a full half mile in the rear. On the return home the C. S.

Stratton distanced every competitor. All who witnessed the race concur in acknowledging that this is by far the finest and fastest sailing craft that has been in our waters for ma ny a day. The builder, Jiidmund T. Darling, of Port Jefferson, L. accompanied the yacht on this, her first trip.

On his return, he was greeted by the cheers of all judges of fast sailing, lie has already established the reputation of being one of the best yacht builders in this country. Bridgeport farmer The Cotton Crop. The Liverpool correspondent of the Savannah Republican furnishes the annexed information, which will prove highly interesting to the cotton planting community People's minds are made up as to the next year's crop, and a total of four millions is considered pro bable. I should not like to say at what price Great Britain will be content to take her quota, but the prevailing opinion is that she will be obliged to pay for it, more than she has done for the crop that has just been delivered. Many look for a scarcity of cotton later on, but this seems to be more than counterbalanced by the belief that the crop will be early and large.

Spinners are too bare of stock to allow of a drop in prices here but until our stock is considerably reduced, I can see no prospect of real activity, but a continuance of hand-to-mouth buying on the part of Manchester.

Remarkable Case or Resuscitation A Model Coroxek. The Boston Journal of the 20th instant, has the following: Yesterday afternoon a boy six years, old named Michael Collins, fell from one of the New York Central Railroad Bridges at South Boston, into the water, and was supposed to have drowned. After the boy had beeu under the surface, of the water about twenty minutes, a Mr.

Ash, (we have not his Christian name,) succeeded in bringing him to the shore, apparently lifeless. Coroner Fogg was called to view the body, which he did in the capacity of Coroner, and considered an inquest unnecessary, but in less time than is occupied in recording the fact, he set himself to work as a physician and striping off his coat, went to work with a will on the body of the boy, and after about two hours of hard muscular labor, he had the satisfaction of seeing his efforts at resuscitation crowned with succes. the boy was quite comfortable. evening A Lyric As dosr davs are fast approachinff. at which time it.

A somewhat famous will case has just been decided by the Supreme' Court of Georgia, the construction of which turned upon the following clause: "I give to my daughter, Mary Scott, and her children, free from the disposition of any future husband." The lower Court held that thereby the whole property rested in Mary Scott, as a ljfe estate. This ruling, however, is now reversed, the Suprenie Court holding that the children are severally and equally joint tenants with the mother.

SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1839. 8 mind That' It Will Not See. There is a good old and a true one too, that none are so blind as those who will not see and we think it very applicable at the present time to the Washington Constitution a Democratic paper published at Washington City, and claiming to be the official organ. The Constitution, after alluding to the objects and aims of the Opposition in no very flattering language, goes on to say that those objects arc now revealed, and an aroused and indignant people are, in all sections of the Union, expressing through the ballot-box, and by their State and county conventions, their confidence in the President and his Administration. Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Alabama by their recent elections, given the strongest possible evidence of Iheir adhesion to, and determination to support the ascendancy of Democratic measures and principles, as exemplified in the course of President Buchanan." Now if the result of the recent elections in Ken- a tucky, Tennessee and North Carolina, give evidence that the people are satisfied with democracy and Mr Buchanan's Administration, and are determined to adhere to the former and support the latter, then we most be laboring under a severe hallucination.

We thought that the opposition had made gains in each of those States; and were further of the opinion that Whigs were not Democrats; and as the opposition elected Whigs, and Whigs as a general rule do not support corrupt democratic leaders, we again say we must be laboring under a severe liall urination is if what the Constitution says is correct i. e. -that the people have shown by their acts, that they are determined to adhere to Democracy, and support the President Why it is thaf the Constitution will continue to cling to the idea that, the Democratic party lias triumphed in the late elections, we are unable to see, and can only suppose that it is one of those subjects which we to alluded to in the beginning of this arti cle, as being blind solely because it tcouUl not see. If the Constitution can gain any comfort out of the result of the late elections, it is entitled to it We rather think the resul gives evidence that the people are tired of Democracy and their bungling President, and arc determined to adhere to a purer party, aud elect for themselves a better President than he who now holds the reins of Government in his hands.
