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.
