There are l40persons here already,
majority of whom are cholera refugees,
| from the Mississippi and Ohio Vallies.
Among others here is Miss Sedgwick,
the author of Hope Leslie. From Bal
timore there are in all about nine per-
sons. We are situated in fine undu-
lating country, surrounded by spurs Of
mountains, and the temperature of the
air is delightful. Our table is supplied
with excellent venison and mountain
mutton, and with such luxuries as may
| be obtained here, or conveniently
brought from a distance. We have a
warm, a cold, and plunging bath--a
fine ball .room, nine-pin alley, &c. |
am very much pleased with the Virgil
nians-they may we'll boast of being
born in such State, where so much
hospitality, manliness and honor a.
bound--in a word, a land Of gentlemen.
have not time to give you a sketch
of the noble scenery presented to the
eye in traversing the Blue Ridge and
the Allegheny-the scene near the
Warm Springs is alone worth the Jour
ney. 1t is from the Warm Spring
Mountain. Nothing that | have ever
seen before, could equal it in ublimity
and awful grandeur. We could hardly
look steadily down the almost perpen-
dicular sides of this very high noun
tain, (2400 feet above the level Of the
sea) without sensations of danger.

ed the notice of the lady, but did not
so far awaken her suspicious as to
prevent her throwing down her reticule
upon the cushion by her side, notwith-
standing it contained a wallet with
thirty Dollars. After prayers, she
was surprised, on opening the reticule,
to find the wallet lying on the top of
her pocket handkerchief, and turned
to look for the gallant gentleman, but
he had decamped, feeling no doubt quite
sure of having obtained some good at
/ church.
Unfortunately for him, however, he
had been too long in setting his trap.
A gentleman in the gallery had no.
Iticed him for several weeks at church,
AMI always following some lady and
taking a seat behind her, as on this &C.
casion. AS he was stranger, and
had no peculiar marks of a praying
man, the constant repetition of the same
ceremony excited suspicion. AS the

I tleman saw Avery, while leaning
lover, take something from the ladies'
seat, examine it, pass his hand to his
own pocket, and then lay back what

young lady in the opposite gallery also
had a full view of the whole affair.
