THE VIRGLNrLA SPRLcGS

The Charleston Free Press is properly determined
mat the beauties OF Bath, or as they are better known by
the n mt OF the "Berkeley Springs in Morgan county,
shall mot remain unsung." II state, that the largest
number daring the present season has amounted to abou,
20o-and that many more would have attended, if there
had bee sufficient acconmods atoms for them. The luxury
OF bathing IN the Purest OF waters at an uniform tempe
nature OF 1S deg. is handsomely described. "a visit to
Prospect Rock, three miles vest OF the Springs. will give
to tho sdmirer Of Natures works a view of nearly ev.-v
thing that the heart can desire, Of The sublime and maeni.
hcent; and those who love " wild sports," will find the
deer and phea.ant plentiful among the surrounding hills
We learn that various Improvements are con,e mplated by
The Trustees previous to the next season."
The other Virginia Springs are still ~thronged with visi.
tors. a correspondent, who whites ms from the Red Sui.
Phur, on the 3ist ut., gives US so refreshing an account OF
the living scenes there, that we cannot forbear prese nting
II to the eye OF the distant Lowlsnder:
"Ihe Company increased so much on Wednesday aud
yesterday that believe some had 10 quarter about in the
neighoorhood. When we arrived here on Wednesday,
there were about 1l5 white visitors; Yesterday, at least
las to $50. Mr.. Burke told me last night. that there
were more families and persons hero then, than any pre-
vioos time. The Red will probably make a better sea.
sood, comparatively, than either Of the other Springs:
doubling, a, least, the number here last year, which Is
more than will be done any where else. The whole
number here last season was 800, the present number
registered IL $50; much below q correct register, as I know
many who have arrived since We reached the Mace
whose names are not set down at all. This purchase OF this
property was a lucky hit for Mr.. Burke. He told me
yesterday he had given SIS. 900 Tor the whole, and has
been offered $l2, 900 for a fourth. The polite attention
Of MIR. Burke and M+j. VASE, TO all who vi.i, here,
are highly pleasing and duly appreciated. The ser.
wants ate the most lively, active and attentive bav.

sons In the highest health. We have the richest turtle
soup the most delightful mutton, both as to favour and
iafness, the tenderest and best prepared venison. Young
and tender wild turkeys, very fat and charming beef
lewis and vegetables in abundance, SC. The desserts are OF
the richest and most ~variegated kinds: buildings, pies, Gus

such array OF delicious and well pre- pared eatabIe,. Willis,
speaking so highly OF the fare at the Red, l wish not TO be
considered as dIsparaging that at the Salt; 10 give the palm
10 either, would be doing injustice TO the other. The pub.
nc ought TO encourage them both, on account Of The bcne.
fits derived from The uses OF their waters, and the attention,
expense and trouble incurred by the proprietors Of both for
the public accommodation and comfort. Many and com.
Portable buildings are to be erected at both places by the
next season. Mr.. Writ is here walking about with ease:
