COMMUNICATION. : JuDXTOS 0? TBI ReQTSTXR ".-," Dear Sik : You may remember, that when I lately had the pleasure of meeting with you at Old Point," I promised or threatened to tend you, after the M burly burly" was over, some ac count of my impressions upon a first visit to this watering-place. It certainly combines many ad Tantaget -the magnificent water-scenery, the sa lubrious and delightful sea-breezes, the Shipping, f. theT Steamers plying in Various ' directions, : the jaeabathing, the sb,'the adjacent fortress, and 1 the Castle of the Rip Rape." 'A visiter arri ving there forthe first lime, may perhape for a while feel a little awkward, something "like a cow in a strange lane. ' But as soon as by dint lyj he becomes sufficiently Wfait in the topogral phy and econorav of the tdace. he will discover, i. that although, a'iulghjy maze," it is "not jthi.. - out a plaa" If he manages to make some agree- able acquaintances,' especially bf the gentler sex, ';the fogs will.soon disperse, and, in the ever-va-Vrying series of attractive recreations and social j." charms, : within doors and . without, he will find himself dailr more and more fascinated ; he wilt 1 Eaf and sing k1 dance away the time, l ty k.

' I saw in t one of these, a blue-eyed maiden bending over a -rose, and could not help enjoying the flower, which ''was under the care of so sweet x Gardener.

The name of Poynt Comfort", was given on account of the excellence of the Harbor, affording 'comfort to the jbtonn-tcfseid mariner. In 1633, the Garri son consisted of a Captain, a Gunner, a Drummer, . Portet; and four other men. s The pay of; the Captain was 2,000 lbs. of Tobacco and 6 barrels f Flour. : In 1639,' a tai'of two lbs. of Tobacco .was levied to. provide for the erection of a 6ew Fort;? '-i y;v. Opposite Fortress . Monroe, at a .distance of 1900 yards, stands "the Castle of the Rip Raps" ir- called ' from the Incessant agitation of the .waters there. These Wo Forts, hermetically seal Hampton - Roads, formed 7 Vy ": the , waters of the h'iabeth, Nansemond and James Rivers. .' The Castle of the Rip Raps stands on sn artificial is land, of five acres, composed of granite imbedded in water 22 feet deen. In this frloomv Castla. i to be found a venerable official . recluse,.

Aer oescenmnirom deck to deck, we at length reached ; tank of Juniper watehtroonths. old, as pare and sweet as when first poured into the reservoir. The Juniper water is brought from the Dismal Sramp," where it U found impregnated with the ffaYor of the Juniper tree, which appears to make it keep during any length of time.

As we ploughed our way hack again among the sparkling waters of the inland Sea, seated on the quarter deck, it was charming, after .tbe fatigues of a sultry day, and the, monotonous variety of sight-seeing, to enjoy the sweet influence of pro pitious gales and to speculate over the wide pros pect of the heaving deep. A fair -lady will re member, if she Bbould see tnese tine, now we admired that- western; sky, flaming with the transient splendors of declining "day and that magnificent sun's wake flashing, glittering long tremulous vista of rosy sky-tinctured glory like some dream of enchantment. -. But I am getting to be too poetical So M re turn we to our sheep." It is time that I should say something of the old Point Hotel. The new building is a fine specimen of Architecture, and as seen from the water, presents an imposing front The Ball-room is spacious and beautiful, furnished with Sofas, Chairs, Mirrors, Chandeliers, statuary casts and Engravings. Over the centre door of the rear, is aq Orchestra, where an ex cellent Band performs in the evening. They play also half an hour before dinner a laudable custom, for nothing promotes digestion more than cheerful music The instruments of this Band are Violin, Violincello, Flute, Clarionet and one brass instrument. In the'eyening, the company assemble in the Ball-room. . Some, having no wives nor children, mere spectators of other men's attaira'sit "lookers on in Vienna" tbe; rest promenade or converse or dance. Three even ings in the week, we heard the old Point Band, under the management of Mr. Bloomfteld, per form in the Hotel yard, in honor, it was said, of tbe veteran General Gaines. -On these occa sions, the Band, ,17 in number, stood arrayed around a quadilateral frame-work, to which were affixed rows of lanterns, between which laytheir notes. Even the drummer has bis notes lying on his drum and a bov holds a lantern at his side. The visiters now gather together in tbe porches ana on ine steps . adjacent, wnne some more curious than tbe rest, approach nearer in order to watch their evolutions more closely. 1 Their per formance is fine, but rather recherche for ordina ry ears. Speaking of guns" I roust not forget the Swiss Boy,". who made his debut one day in tbe Ball-room. Tbe brim of his high conical hat is hung with tiny bells ; be plays on some instru ment, the name of which I do not remember, and accompanies it by tbe music of the bells, which be rings by shaking-' his head, and by' a sort . of ventriloqotstical imitation of the notes of birds, made by an extraordinary exertion of the throat Tbe muwc is very pleasing, and the Swiss in sort of laborious ecstacy, rolls his eyes like pig in a thunder-storm. His task concluded, he hands round that outre cap for contributory coins. On Sunday, I attended worship in the chapel of Fortress Monroe a long room in the Bar racks. .The discourse turned seasonably on the value of time. . Some soldiers occupied one end of the room. The Band performed on the oc casion. - Old Point is, indeed, a sort .of world in Minia ture ; people from,the four quarters, and of every grade, meet here ; Officers, naval and military. are moving to and fro ; Steamers come and 0 : but: no one can divine where they come from, or whither they are bound. There is much bustle, animation, change. However, sedate conserva tive groups sit in the shady Porches, talking over the gossip of the place or the news of the day. A boy occasionally, makes, his appearance , with a basket of books or a bundle oh Newspapers for sale. ;K ' '. ' ; ' But I fear you will think me growing prolix, so with a few practical remarks," I will wind up my yarn.' Old Point, with its central po sition, salubrious air,, and its numerous other eminent advantages, is' probably destined to be come a place of, great resort. -My quondam school-mate, FbencbV; has indeed made a capital hit,'- and the establishment will no doubt be en larged and improved on a scale commensurate with the growing patronage. Perhaps some one will carry out a conception' of mine by preparing a "Bath Guide" for the Hygeia and the time may eome " ; when a Master of Ceremonies" will be made u autocrat of all the dances" and old Point may yet euppljr materials for another ?St. Ro nan's WelL" With many pleasant recollections of the days we lately passed there, I am Dear Sir, ' ' Yours truly, - : - ' " : 0.

A vie torious geberal, a prisoner of war; a dictator with uncurbed powers fugitive -from an-exasperated populace, ah exile upon penalty of -death, a de posed tyrant and a ruler for the third time clothed in purple, are portions of the chequered character he haa played in the great drama of life. , He i a medley wf contradictory passions, a compound of cruelty, duplicity, talent, energy, courage and rapacity. His greatness arises from the vigor of his vices, his successes are traceable to tbe force of systemized selfishness. He has simplified statesmanshio: into one Idea self, and to" this point all bis acts whether as ruler or fugitive whether as despot or supplicant, whether as de- ciorming' captives or imploring merry, as massa ceing prisoners of war or skulking trora an out raged people in the fastnesses bf the Loruilieras For self he will do things in themselves chival rous, bold and generous, and for self he will enact prodigies of cruelty and descend to shifts of. tbe lowest pusilanihiity ' and baseless. " With him friendship is an obsolete weakness and patriotism a nursery illusion. To him tbe goverwhient, tbe neoole. the arm v. laws, religion, liberty, the state all are Santa Anna or nothing. : ' What effect the return of such a man to su preme power in Mexico will have upon the re la tione of the United States with that country, would be easily foretold if it could be ascertained what course of policy he' thought best for the stability of his rule or the aggrandizement of his fortunes. ' The reply he is said to have given to our Consul at Havana, Mr. Campbell, previous to his sailing to Vera Cruz, furnishes as good a clue to his future ourooses as anything else. ' When asked if he was in favor of, tbe -war with the United States, he is reported to have said, You know how it. is. if. the people of my country ere for war, I am with them ; but I would prefer peace." It is quite probable that if Santa Anna could concentrate in -his own hands the absolute power of the nation under a peace establishment, he would prefer doing so; but that he will risk any thing to obtain peace, however advantageous it miffht be 'to the country, is to imagine hira capable of sacrificing something for the benefit of others a sunDOsition totally at ' variance witb every attribute of his nature. It has been stated that subsequent to the con yersation with Mr. Campbell, an American citi zen 'was desDatched from Washington City to Cuba to treat with Santa Anna about Mexican affairs. This rumor may or may not be. true. We have no means of knowing what foundation there is for it, The rapid visit to Havana of an officer of the navy, and his hasty departure for Gen. Taylor's camp from that place, not to men tion Santa Anna's easy entrance into Vera Cruz, trive some plausibility to the report. However this may be, no manner of reliance can be placed upon any promises, or understanding between him and the Government or any agent of tbe Government There can be no adjurations more bindiner, no engagements more solemnly con tracted. than those Santa Anna made to Texas after the battle of Sao Jacinto.. : Those oaths and contracts were broken with a wilfulness which seemed to rejoice that perjury gave a darker hue to the obloquy of violated faith. His life and liberty' were given him upon pledge of his honor and truth to the fulfilment of his contract lie accepted the boon and repudiated the vow What form of plighted faith, what condition to a contract, what consideration to solemn bond can be imagined more exactiog in its nature, than tbe life and liberty bf Santa Anna granted to him self upon protestations uttered on bended knees! There is no arriving at what such a man will do unless it can be seen what he will think it most to his interest to do, regardless alike of all notions of responsibility to God or man. He was set at large by the Texan authorities at a time when the' massacre of Fannin's command and the butcheries of Goliad inflamed every Texian to vengeance. He engaged himself to establish the boundary of Texas and procure a recognition of her independence. And yet, the revolution which seated him in the Mexican Presidency, after his return from Texas, was fomented by himself upon the ground that the reconquest 9? that Depart, ment was not vigorously prosecuted by Busta mente, and he assumed the supreme command with a pledge to cross the Rio Grando for its restoration. ' - It is extremely, doubtful if Santa Anna can take a position against tbe war with safety, if in deed he be inclined to peace. The accounts from the interior represent the Mexican feeling to be very bitter' and universal against this coun try. Should he find such to be the case, he will scarcely peril his power by any strong effort to pacify or suppress the popular, passion. But if this be a doubtful point, we regard it as quite certain that he can conduct , the war with mbre sagacity, than any other man in Mexico. " He has more experience, more resources, and can com mand a wider confidence than anv other. But to our mind it is better for the United States that a ruler should be at the head of Mexico who can and will take the field. In the recent posture of Mexican affairs, there was scarcely Government enough to war against or to make peace with. ' there was no established dynasty to threaten, no concentrated power to attack. Santa Anna can make a sharp war, and if he do it will be a shorter one than the advance upon disjointed departments and a foggy, indistinct organization promised to be. It is doing more to secure an advantageous peace to .threaten an established., Government; than march through territories that are represen ted only by factions The capture of. Monterey and Saltillo will end in nothing greater than the capture of Mata moras or Cainargo, unless there be a Government to bring to terms. The defeat of a faction will not.be a conquest of a country. Wherever the American army appears, the Citi zens lay down their arms or flee to the moun tains. Wben the. troops sre withdrawn,-they will return and be Mexicans again. As our army will not born towns, lay waste farmsteads or slay non-combatants, it is clear that a march upon a non-rebisting power would be but an" expensive parade. i. The United States would have to set up a social system in Mexico Capable of the functions of Government to achieve a peace that would take any . thing by treaty, , Under Parade's administra tion nothing above, a guerilla war could. bo ex pected, Under Santa Anna a contest of results may be looked lor Picayune. .... - ' " WHIG ORGANIZATION,.".;:, The Union continues to be creatlv alarmed at thd4 desperate attempts", of the Whigs to 'en lighten tbe Locofocos, by sending them some of the able speeches uponimportant national ques tions delivered during the . late session of Con, gressj not by Whigs only, but by -'some - of -their w.".u . rf?J . r V"v : . , jf-,Dlonn u w ne ther some. of "the Locofoco' members areLnot engaged, in sending- out Ipcofoco speeches jfrom tbe folding room of the Capitol of -the- United States, at the expense of the people," to keep! tnera ta cam new i Alexandria Gazette?

' (He i says that when he arrived at. the sge; eighteen, he was put upon the muster-roll, and duly warned by the "Orderly, of the Company, to' appear on next Saturday morning at the . usual parade ground equipped according to law. ; John says that he knew well enough that he was eigh teen years old, but the thought of bearing arms, in, the '.service of hii country h)d never-, once crossed his brain ; but when the idea was brought home to him by the summons of the subordinate of CapU Dlddler, he says he did not know what he 6houId doso near being a man ! 00 be went and whipped a big boy that had always kept him under, and took a dose of medicine for fear he should errow loo fast ! . Well. Saturday at length came, and off he, starts, after an early breakfast, towards the glo rious spot where he was to 'shoulder arms' for the first time in his life, as a sure-enough soldier; and if he had not been stopped, he would have been at the muster ground an hour at least be fore any one else. But as he was passing by old Mr. EmersonV, he was hailed by that worthy to know, where he was going! He quickly made known his destination, when the old man told him to come inland, wait a While, for he was going that way himself. John says he paused to con sider what he should do': it looked like checking him in the dawn of bis career to glory, but the old fellow insisted, and he went in. - lie sat Jor a while, and watched the slow and deliberate pre parations of his proposed companion, and he thought he should have dropped down with hn patience, but still the old man pursued the 'even tenor of his way. . He went to the: kitchen -and got a tin-cuD of hot water : he then took out rusty razor, andstrappedBtrapped strapped it, until until he could have seen it drawn across the old chap's weasand. He then quietly lathered his face, and then tugged and grinned, and re lathered and tugged away again. ; He thought at length, by way of relief, of taking a conversation with the old lady, who was sitting by, knitting ; but here comes the crisis of tbe story old Mrs Emerson was obviously in no very serene condi tion of temper, and his reception, in this quarter was anytning uui euieriaining. .. . Mrs. Emerson, says be, .how do you come on raising chickens ibis year 1 I don't know,' replied she, in a quick, barking kind of voice.- . . . Falls short, thought John; but after sitting a while, be resolves to try her. again : . Mr 8. Emerson, how do the girls come on get ting sweethearts?' 1 don't know ! I reckon you kpow as much about that as I do, says she. k He turned, and discovered that there' was peut-up storm in her face ; her knitting needles were urged together with such emphasis that tbey sounded like castanets, and as she tossed tbe thread over the busy points, she' had the air of throwing off her indignation from her fore fingers. John then turned to notice the old man. -.- Having. performed the operation of scraping and scouring, he moved to a large chest, and tak ing out a shirt, pantaloons, waistcoat and stock ings, he proceeded towards the door of an adja cent room, with his clothes in his hand ; but just about the time he had accomplished half that dis tance, Mrs. Emerson boiled over. Old man !, said she, straightening herself up, and pointing with a long skinny, finger ' right at him.- The old fellow stopped, and made a sort of half-face to the right. Old man! now' you are going to that nasty muster, and there you'll get drunk and spend all your money ; and you'll wallow in the dirt, and I shall have your clothes to wash. You shan't go! rou railt SHAN'T UUI!" Well, old woman,' says he there was no use in making such a terrible to do about it, for 1 had partly gin it out, any how ! -I John said be didn't wait for cny excuse -from the old man, but went forward and got to muster -in full time. 7 Tbe above was written before the death bf'Mr. Guthrie, which will account, for the lightness as well as the canunes of the notice. Washington, September 3, 1846. . A Slandereb Contradicted for the Thou-; sandth 1IME. It was a saying, we think, of Mr. Jefferson, " that a falsehood will travel a thousand leagues while truth is putting on her boots. Whether th:s be precisely accurate or not, it is very certain that if truth does some- limes overtake a falsehood, and put it to shame, the latter will, after a little while, very probably start off again on a fresh career of deception, pos sibly, after another long chase, to' be overtaken; only again to run off, but never to be finally ar rested and crushed. 1 here is, indeed, a class of falsehoods those which owe their existence to' party malevolence which appear to be immor-j tal : no matter how often to all appearance kill-! ed, they coma to life again, . and ; re-appear at some distant point as lively as ever.
