: 1 have never seen the fishing for
Spanish mackerel better than it is
now at Beaufort. Since the cool
spell of weather has passed away the
ocean is swarming witn mackerel
Myself, H. W., Fries, R W. Belo and
Gen.' Ricks, of Mississippi, have had
fine sport this week. In two days
we caught nearly ihree hundred of
them weighing over six pounds. It
is by far the best fishing I have seen
in. six years, and there is every pros
pect it will continue for some weeks,
.The parties who now own the At
lantic hotel ought to have the hotel
opened for a winter resort. It does
seem to me that if all the advantages
could be known for Morehead and
Beaufort such as climate, fishing,
hunting and health that the tide of
travel southward could easily be
turned to our coast. A residence
there for six years leads me to say
that for pleasure, comfort and health
x ionaa can omj uo seooau iu it
And the reason other people do not
think an'd see as I do is simply be
cause they do not know.: Suppose a
mas comes to Beaufort or Morehead
to spend the winter. He don't want
to it down and eat oysters (the best
in the land), terrapin, fiah, duck, &c.,
but he wants to take exprcise. Then
he can fox-hunt, der hunt, duck
hunt , all of these- Mor.head fur
nishes better hunting ground and
water than any; other place. And all is
eas of aceessi Now is the time to
opert Morehead and Beaufort for a
winter resort. '
Miss S. A. Davis always has more
or less guests from the North during
the Printer, many I personally know
and they all with one accord wonder
why the place is not advertised for a
winter resort.

old man tenderly by the hand, and
then without the endeftvor with; many

Brown to lead in prayer, be sat down
in a silence that was somewhat pro

one of the deacons, and thus inter
ipted the solemn silent session
"Parson ! don t you think it was
rather queer that when Job's friends
came to comfort bun they sat down
three days without saying a word t
Said the parson, though young, ytt
equal to the occasion:'It may seem

so, tout I think that it would have
been better for Job .had they sat

whan they spoke to have spoken as

Br Telegjraph to the Mews an4 Obseirer.
Cakt Pebbt, Fla , Sept. 22. On
the occasion of the departure of Surgeon-General
Hamilton from this
camp, the refugees met and passed
resolutions, heartily thanking Dr.
Hamilton for his uniform kindness,
courtesy and attention and endorsing
Uamp Perry, declaring it unexcelled
by any military camp in the country.
The. resolutions were presented by the
xtev. Dr. Roche at the station where
the refugees had assembled in a body
as the doctor was about to take the
train. The Surgeon-General was visi
bly moved at these expressions of ap
preciation of his services - and
made a brief address in reply.
He said in part: I am deeply touched
by your sympathy and kindness. I
am all the more sensible of this be
cause of the unjust criticism directed
against me in my official capacity and
the attacks upon my private charac
ter. These commenced when I an
nounced the presence of yellow fever
in Florida last spring. As a matter
of fact the presence of ihe fever in
this State was reported by me to the
Governor nearly or quite two weeks
before I made any public announce
ment of it. That the statement was
true the fact of the establishment of
this camp and that we are here today
in this pine-wood too well attest.
But that is all passed now and let it
be forgotten and forgiven. When I
came here and hoisted our dear old
flag over this camp I, as a Govern
ment representative, felt that I want
ed every man, woman and child com
ing here to know that they were no
longer poor, panic-stricken, fever-
haunted refugees, but welcome
guests of our common country.
The warm, ruddy stripes of the ban
ner which floats ahove us are em
blematical of our country's love for
its children, and each star in that
azure field represents a State, every
one of which must be protected
when in distress, and suffered for if
need be. These sentiments, I know,
actuate the offioers of the service
whom I leave in charge here. I thank
you, ladies and gentlemen, for your
courtesy, and in saying farewell I
assure you that you nave made it a
diffioult word to speak.
After a treneral hand-shakinGr.
which included all the children at the
camp, the leave taking was over and
the train moved away.
