When ve shall have obtained a permanent class, domesticated here, and thus permanently interested in all social improvements, an era of rapid growth for us vill follow, it is true of New Orleans as well as Mobile. Here it is very evident that such a growth, by steady thrift, has commenced.
Families Discovering Nearby Watering Places
_The-.discovery, too, which families of wealth and leisure have,;;, recently made, that there are in our immediate vicinity, along the Lake and Gulf shores and on the east side of this charming Bay, watering-places as fresh, attractive and healthful as in any part of the country, will contribute vastly to the prosperity of the two cities of?Kobile and New Orleans.
If fashion would but once coincide with comfort, enjoyment and interest, there would soon be few summer Jaunts either to the North or West, and millions of dollars now scattered over the Union would remain (o build up our cities and adorn and refine society.
Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay
I spent a short time the other day at Hollywood across the Bay, a place destined to be famous for its delightful atmosphere, fine bathing, good fare, and good company.
Indeed all along this coast there is destined to be, before many years, a string of villas and hotels, to which the planters of the interior and the citizens of Kobile will flock as a summer resort not to be equaled any where.
Round Island Proclamatlons
The letter of Lieut. Totten, of the Water-Vitch. to the parties on Round Island, published in New Orleans, has a counterpart in an address to the same parties, by Commander Randolph, of the Albany, received here last night.
It is not possible that the administration could have authorized such extremely arbitrary and illegal proceedings. Randolph's circular reads like a hoax. The idea of treating a body of men as vagrants, under some police law, and at the same time forbidding them to receive provisions, for which they are able and willing to pay?of making them outlaws, and treating them as convicted plunderers because Captain Randoloh believes they don't know what they are engaged to do?of dispersing them as a mob, and at the same time enforcing a "blockade or embargo,? the Naval authority seems to be uncertain which?is one of the most amusing things of the time--that is, it would be a good joke, if it were not something worse..............
We have had extremely warm weather for several days.
