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 follov. It is true of New Orleans as veil as Mobile. Here it is very evident that such a growth, by steady thrift, has commenced.
Families Discovering Nearby Watering Places
The._.dlscovery, too, vhich families of vealth'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, vatering-places as fresh, attractive and healthful as in any part of the country, vill contribute vastly to the prosperity of the two citie of?Kobile and Nev Orleans.
If fashion would but once coincide vith comfort, enjoyment and interest, there vould soon be few summer jaunts either to the North or West, and millions of dollars now scattered over the Union vould remain to build up our cities and adorn and refine society.
Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay
I spent a short time the other day at Hollyvood 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 vhich the planters of the interior and the citizens of Mobile vill flock as a summer resort not to be equaled any vhere.
Round Island Proclamations
The letter of Lieut. Totten, of the Water-Vltch? to the parties on Round Island, published in Nev 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 vhich they are able and villing to pay?of making them outlavs, and treating them as convicted plunderers because Captain Randolph believes they don't knov 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 vhich?is one of the most amusing things of the time--that is, it vould be a good joke, if it were not something worse..............
We have had extremely warm weather for several days.
