aid. that il: 10 The interest, 80 we'll as the
ausy of the merchant, to indulge, so far as
,s can, the reasonable wishes of the clerk.
But is the request now made by the clerks
!. reasonable onef We may be mistaken,
IN, we think il is. They wish, during the
.ummer months, to "knock off" at sun
down. They say, and we agree with
them, that from "the rising of the sun un-
Ill the going down of the same," is, in all
conscience, amply sufficient to transact all
,hs business that is done during the dull
season Of summer. They say they want
an hour or two for recreation, after the la
hors of the day; and they further urge, that
their employers can grant them this boon
without working any injury TO their bust
ness. They also say, that this indulgence
on the part Of their employers, would slim.
ulate them 10 more cheerful and hearty
application to business, during the hours
Of actual work. We think the arrange.
ment would prove equally beneficial to
both parties. But we have said enough.
Here is the communication, which We
publish at the request Of the clerks them
selves:
For the Journal
Mr.. EDITOR: A communication from the
National Intelligencer, was handed to the edi
TOT of the Chronicle this week, accompanied
bYa request, that he would make such remark:
as he thought the occasion called for. Owing
We suppose, to an overflow Of other and more
important matter, his remarks were very few
and, to our humble visions, far from the point
We did not intend to make of it demand OF
the Merchants to reform our aggrierances
for We always keep before us, the very impor
tant fact, that we are paid for our services, an
that, therefore, Our employers have perfec
right to demand whatever they please of US
In business way. Our simple intention was
10 present our humble petition to the Mer
chants Of Wilmington, requesting that they
would ask no more of US than their interest
actually require.
We are inclined to think, from experience
that they could very easily dispense with GU
services after sun down, during the summe
season, which would be to US of immense ad
vantage, in the way Of needful recreation.
Will you be so kind as to give this pIac
in your columns, and whether it succeeds o.
not, we will be under lasting obligations.
Very respectfully,
MANY CLERKS.

THE MINERAL SPRINGS OF SC.

THE MINERAL SPRINGS OF SC.
Mn. EDITOR: With my present feelings, l
believe lit be my duty to make few remarks
with regard to the above named Springs, that
those who may be afflicted in like manner with
myself, may have some knowledge Of these
valuable waters, which, to the public at large,
are scarcely known. They are located on the
land of John H. Allston, Esq, near the
Georgetown and Conway Borough Road, a.
bout twenty eight miles distant from the for
mer, and fifteen from the latter place. l learn
ed while there, ;hat the water has been ana
lyzed by one Of the first physicians of Charles
ton, who pronounced it highly saturated with
Iron, link, and Sulphur, three valuable min
erals. Two gentlemen of this vicinity visited
the Springs some TWO years since, one of them
so completely Frustrated with the dyspepsy,
that it was with difficulty he could ride there,
and after remaining ten days, he was entirely
relieved from his disease; the other case, en-.
tireIy different in its nature, but equally as
desperate, was completely rooted out, and the
patient is hearty man to-day. The writer
OF this, visited the Springs on the 9th of May
and remained there seven days. During thai
time, his health increased daily; his appetite
was good, and his system seemed TO strength
en- every hour. He has been away from the
Springs some twelve days, and up to this tim'
his health is very good. From unavoidable
circumstances, he was compelled to leave tn
Springs sooner than he anticipated, but he ha
seen enough to convince him that few week
spent there would completely Danish his com
plant. He would only say to those afflicted
with the dyspepsy, 60 and Judge for your
selves. The only obstacle in the way, is tn
want of proper accommodation for visitors. am
1t is to be hoped tina: some provision will b
made to silence this objection. A.
