Clung & Pcyton, and inhaling an atmosphere
which smells of the mountains, have determined L"
consume this morning hour in free comment upon
what have s,en and heard since my arrival among
green fields and cool breczes

wnd,y the wind pours in after n fashion that you
civ dwelers can scarcely imagine The air ia not
hot and sitting, like the vapor OF boiler, but laden
with health giving coolness. This | might gam
any where III thi. region but there are other uxu's
and comforts for which | am indebted to mine hosts.
or these und of their establishment il is not nccdiul

cd here in other days know well, that even while II
enjoyed monopoly, the Virginia was admirably con-

conceded that HEsRY a. WISE would be the mai-
individuals with whom have conversed wh'ie eS-
pressin. personal preference tor some DINER man.
have always declared that they would Ia ke WISE as
their second choice, in preference to all Others as he
is undoubtedly the first choice of very many Demo-
Gratis throughout Virginia. aud the second prefer
ence of many others, his nomination may nearly he
classed among the certaintics OF the future.

met the general preference is for Nominating Com
vention in the spring rather than the iaii.
