MeSSrS. Editors.-I amat Cooper's Wells,
breathing once more the pure air of its lofty
hills; and imbibing the life giving tide that ever
gurges fresh from its mossy cells. But what
shall | say OF this fashionable crowd This
whirlpool foaming with all the pride of Missis
sippi aristocracy, quite blinds me, my head
swims, and look around in vain for the pleas
ami faces knew in days gone by. But in ac-
cordance with the muthful scenes around me,
must tune my harp, whose strings are unused to
ought but sadness And now Will lead you into
our midst, even to the centre of delight-or
pleasant row This means the range of pavil-

face expressive another beautiful maiden, is
Miss c. from the same county--also Miss B. just
from the Old Dominion, is grace personitied, yet
the pen of a ready scribe would fail to paint
these beautiful representatives from every coun-

sas have also share in this splendid array! /
must not omit Mrs. P. of your city, who is an
interesting lady. and commands much attention.
Her fine eyes sparkle with intelligence, and about
the we'll formed mouth plays the sweet smile OF
affection. She is cherished by the Wing part!

hopes of converting her over to my democratic
theories Yet she tells me she knows she is

The sweetest music we have is not from the

beauty of our ladies and noble bearing of the
gentlemen. Mrs. B., wife of the fine looking
