Bra nil I la- 1 boring under the effects of tb« excitpmentjjproduccd by the execntion of tbe j conspirators, •( Washington. Tbe snrroonding "circumstances of tbe mardsr of Abraham Lincoln, were well calculated j to draw tbe fixed attention of tba people upon tbe authors of tbla atrocious crime and every thing connected with it — the ! first of the kind that has titer occurred ' la tbla country — happening at aoeb a momoatous time, Joit at ibe moment when tbe majeety and authority of the ; law won being vindicated ; at a time when every isoe man taw the folly and | impossibility of any further resistance ! •gainst tbe Iswfol authorities, saw the attar impracticability of anccessfuliy ' establishing another confederacy in tbe j United Stales. At this lime — when despondency and hopelessness was stereo- 1 typed in tbe minds of those people, who bed dared rfciae their voices and arms j against the dignity of the lew— was committed this crime without same, which horrified add shocked the people more than Would an earthquake. From the . commencement of the trial op to the preeaat moment every word relating to tbe conspirators has been caught and aagarly devoured by the people. If notoriety were one of tbe objeots which actuated tba conspirators to perpetrating the benioos crime, and public opinion leans that way, they have been eminently successful. Vaio would have been the efforts of tbe Govern meat (if they bad chosen to do so) to suppress tbe facta. Tba people would have overcame all obstacle* and serQglei iu searching for hems pertaining to the trial, deapiie tbe notoriety their efforts would have given to the conspirators. Cnriotlty— a kind remembrance for our fere- * mother Eve — something co-eval with tbe . existence of tbe female sex— know* no limits. Who ever $eard of a curious jmraon being satisfied, unless he had accomplished tbe object for which be was Marching, wo matter whether that object be good or bad. Such was the curiosity which the Americans felt in this cara; but there 'proved to be no necessity for them to exerciss their " searching" faculties in ferritin g out this matter, for tbe Government officials very kindly •ad 'frankly exposed the whole matter before the public, ft h true tbe consumers have become notorious; but •he eeviea their notoriety f They have become notorious in a manner which will thoek sad horrify the reader who may bereefter meet their oamee oe the pages of history.

It it plsessnl to turn from tbe consideration of this revolting crime, with its jost bat terrible punishment, to chronicle • few evente transpiring in this city, which may be interesting to the readers of yonr valuable sheet. The persons who are, for reasons "best known to ibemaelvat," compelled to remain io the city, bavs devised various ways for their enjoyment and rest. Many of tbem resonate Fairmouut Park, which bids fair to be *i Park of 'the Unitad States, there to enjoy tba fresh air, the delightful and natural scenery of thatplsce, and to listen to tbe ravishing daily discoursed by tbe bands Mfctioned there, endrr tbe new regime inaugurated by our liberal and high-minded cenncilmen. Programmes, containing the selections to be ployed, are distributed gratuitously to the people, who bestow the highest enconioms on the generosity of councils. Tbe music is selected with elegant taste, being generally "aria's" from celebrated and popular operas, each as "Martha," "Traviata," "Don Paiqoale," and a host of others well known to your aristocratic and faahionabla dwellers Necessarily incident* to music ara the ladies who , daily resort there, and who contribute, | (Continued from lint Pagr.) j , in a wonderful degree, to the beauty and , adornment of tbe park. At early even- • log, crowds of beautiful yonag ladies - may be seso, riding around the winding ■ : avenue* of the Park, attended by gal- > lantf, but fierce-looking knights, anxious • to do homage to their beanty. Others r seek pleasure in rowing, the Schuylkill j ' i at night being literally covered with io- , ' numerable crafis, of all sixea and desorip- • j lions, filled with gay and laugniDg girla, ' ' who make tbe aigbt "hideout" with ' their silvery voices. In addition, at this ' lime, tbera ia "moonlight," which makes : it still more interesting to the "love-sick ' t Roroeos'" who are In attendance upon i ' | tljp fair "Julieta'" 1 j Thus, you aea, we have music, love j ' and moonlight. 1 Tbera ia considerable (peculation here ; ' ' as regards tbe trial of Jeff Davis. As * : yet there is nothing definite known as to j ' | bis future.

This is the place of sll pieces." The operator, after trauvmittiog their bo- ^ i vines*, said to them, i i "Gentlemen, I ant glad you are so much pleased with Capo May." 1 , "dir." said be who bad tent tbe message, ^ f "we have visited sii \be wateriog-piace* io I f I continental Europe anif rhnso io America, , reserving Cape May for the last, for no particular reason, but because it was con- 1 venirnt for oor route — b l this ia by far the 1 . best fo insny revpec's— particularly io its I facilities for ocean bathing." The then operator is now the Mayor of < Cape May— a gentleman of fiao abilities, sod tbe editor of a sprightly dally, antitlad j tbe Cape May Daily Wave. So too see whet authority I hava for my opening statement — that I write from tbo ' first ocean watering-place in the world. 1 And why should not America, foremost ' en org nations in meny matters of progress ! . — certainly in tbe extent of her territories, i the oatdVal beanty aod grandeur of her see- ' 'eery, the independence of ber people — be , as fortunate in ber products of Ma-ebor j and rollinjf wave, as the more leaded countries with older sad sadder histories ?

Harvf, on fool from Parts, it w/r tbo | j darkest hour »f the French revoret^ I j Pursued by tho bloodhound* of the reign ! | of terror, Talleyrand secured a passage 1 j to the United States, in a ship about to sail. He was a heggar and a wanderer i a strange land, to earn his daily bread | the sweat of his brow. 1 "Is .hero ao American staying etj house ?" he asked of the landlord; ; of the hotel. " I am going arross the water, and would like a letter to a per- j of iofioeoce io the New World." | " There is a gentleman op stairs, j I either from America or Britain, but: j whether from the one or the other I can j not tell.". j He pointed tbe way. aod Talleyrand, ] who in bis life wts bishop and prince,* ! ascended tbe stairs. A miserable sop- ! | pliant be stood before tho strsnger's | , door, knocked and entered. Io tbe far I . corner of tbo dimly-Iighied Tooro, sat a fifty years of age, his hands folded, | ] and his head bowed upon bis breast. ' j a window, directly oppo*ite^>« | i of light poured upon his -forehead , j His eyes looked from beneath the down- 1 { cast lashes, aod upon Talleyrand's face ; with a peculiar and searching expression, j j His form, vigorous even with the snows | ' of fifty winters, was clad in a dark, bot [ distinguished costume. Talleyrand ad- i I vanced, stated that ha was a fugitive, aod with the impression that tbe gentleman was an American, he solicited his j kind feeling and offices Ha poured J his history iu eloqusot French aod broken Eoglisb. j " I am a wanderer and an exile.

I am willing to toil in manner. A life of labor would be a paradise to a career of luxury io Frsoea. You will, please give me a letter to one of your friends ?" The strange gentlemen rose. With a that Talleyrand never forgot, be r.etrsaled toward tbe door of the next chamber,- 'his eyes looking still from beneath bis darkened brow ; be spoke s* retreated backward ; his voiss was full of meaoiog : *' I am tbe only man of the New who uao raise his hand to God aud say, 'I have not a friend, not one, America."'

Mr. Pools **y»: j " Tiiacbthg the Congressional report re - ferrtd to, I have thi* to say. A 'month or 9 t«o anterior to the date of said report, I t learned from a gentleman of respectability that tha ^pritunees of aar limn confined in aed about Richmond were suffering sevsree for went of provisions. He told mi further s that it was manifest to him that a systemsI | tic scheme was on fool for subjecting tbase , | unfortunate men to starvation; that tha , Commissary General.

I grieve to •ey that this was at fir«l refused, and I was most acrimoniously censured by several 1 member* fur totioducing the subject to the ! Home at all.

Ilints to Hut Iter*. j At this warm season, when bathing it eo . popular, it will be well to observe the fok , | lowjng hints : On first pl'uging iolo tha cold wster, there becomes a shock which I drives the blood to the central parts of tha system. Rot immediately a reaction takes 1 f place, which is assisted by the exercise of • wimming, producing, evtn in water of a , low temperature, en agreeable warmth. . Tha stay ie the water should oever be pro- - , longed beyond tbe period of this excite- | meot. if the weter be left while this I warmth continnee, end the body immediately dried, the healthy glow over tbe whole : surface will be delightful. To remain in the water after the first rt-. ' i action ie over, produce's a prolonged cbill ■ - ! ties*, a ahriukirg of the 8e*h, and a coni traction of the skin, by no mease favorable - i to health or enjoyment; for it it only in , water thoroughly warmed by tbe eummer ( hen*, where we may bathe for many hours with impunity. ' Certain precautions are necessary. Moderate exercise, by summoning into action tbs powers of the system, and quickening 1 the circulation, is belter than inactivity. .We should never go into the water immet diately after a meal, nor while tbe process of digestion it goiog forward. Nor should , we plunge into the water when violently t heated, or in a sluts of profuse prespirslioo. Such imprudences are ofleo fittl, etpecialr ly if the water be unusually cold. If too werm. tbe temperature of the body may be reduced by balhiog the wrists aud wetting • tbe bead. Before meal* rather than after, and espe- ■ cially before breakfsat end before sapper, - are proper ssa>oni for bathing. 1jb# beats of the day are to be avoided, but) io very , bot weather a bath is esefol to cool tbe , blood aod secure refreshing sleep. If la the middle of the day, a shaded place shoold be chosen, or the bred protected 1 from tb* sob by being kepi wet, or by ' wearing a straw hat. — One of the New York Herald's' corraspoDdi-ut*, who has been recsotiy . traveling extensively through Soath Caroliaa, is satisfied that lb* amount of cotton (till resaainiog la tbs iotarior of that Stats, is vary large, exceediag any estimate which baa yet beets published.
