3 -jTT_ - 00060 PASCAGOULA VJe terminate our tour at Pascagoula; the place appropriately called by such a soft and beautiful Indian name. Pascagoula is perhaps "he most desirable of all the places on the Gulf with reference to marine enjoyments. The bathing is better than at any other place and the fish, oysters, crats and shrimps are more abundant. There is no lack of shade; the live oak and other trees being thickly strewed along the coast, and the situation of the cottages is very fine. The chief Hotel at this place is kept by Mr. 1'cCrea, who has a fine house and excellent accommodations. The company at Pascagoula is a pleasant combination in about equal numbers of the citizens of Mobile and Nev Orleans. Across the Bay of Pascagoula, or rather the mouth of the river of that name from whose quiet bosom proceeds the mysterious music about which the poets have written so much, lies the elegant mansion of Mrs. I'cCrea (McR^lf FJS) where a select company of quiet family folks or well behaved old bachelors will be pleasantly accommodated. There a"e many delightful private residences at Pascagoula And here ve finish our tour and a most pleasant one it is. We cordially recomir/fend it to our readers as far preferable to the noise, bustle, excitement, and other disagreements too numerous to mention of a visit to the hyperborean regions whither so many of our people are wont yearly to migrate like so many geese.
