sTAUNTON HOTELS.

As the season for Withdrawing for health
and pleasure to the mountains is nearly here
we begin to look about for pleasant places
and good Hotels in the Valley. The public
resorting thither, will be glad to learn that the
Hotels in Stanton are undergoing improve
ments and extensions, and new and fine one
will soon be added to the list. McCLUNG &
PEYToN were painting up and refitting their
popular " Ifiirgiaia Hotel when we were last
in Staunton. They have no doubt finished by
this time. WooDwARDs Hotel is improved
and enlarged, while the "Old Bell wears an
air of quiet and unpretending comfort, under
its renewed application to the purposes of a
Hotel, after lapse of years. The new Hotel
is spacious and convenient. '
We have not had the pleasure of enjoying
the comforts and consultations of any Of the
Staunton Hotels, except the Virginia, and
can speak from experience only of that
Than that, however, we wish no better or
more comfortable Inn. The proprietors are
the most polite and obliging gentlemen-their
clerk is attentive and accommodating
table is capitalize rooms and lodging clean
and comforta ble-and the attendance of ser.
wants assiduous. A few days sojourn there
is a most agreeable link in the chain of sum
mer relaxation in the mountains.

aRUMBLING OF THE BRIToNs

uhOMOLANu Ne HE BhIlONc.
: The privileged f grumbling, one Of the most
ancient and inalienable prerogatises Of the
Anglo-Saxon race, Is being freely exercised
in regard to the military movements of the
allies in the East. A London paper says:
"Constaatinopis csn never be safe with q chips q
the line constantly lowering over witnin tnirty
hours sssl except with equal force OF British u
ners anchored always at the bosphorgs. Nc one. !,
suppostd would advocate enst a,ad e, saisssusrd
tioa Of Bebsstopo and the occupston OF tho Crimea
by Turkey from when ii was stolen 40 years ago :
ysry well in its way Is not vital blow. At present
Sebastspol not imprcgnable, but the Russians are
rapidly making II So"
Even the London Times growls over the
dilatory movements of the allies. Where all
classes and all parties unite in this national
luxury Of grumbling, there must be some rea-
son for it. We expect that there will be a
good deal more oft before the war with Bus.
STA is ended, is, il it is ever begun.
As to Sebastopol, it cannot be taken by
sea. 1t win not probably be attacked until
sufficient land force arrives for that pur-
pose. Why Admiral Dundas has permitted
the Russian squadron to leave the harbor Of
Sebastopol, is mystery not easy of compre.
hension. Not long ago. it was declared by
Earl Clarendon in the House of Lords that
the British squadron were watching that har-
Dor closely, and that it was in the highest de
gree improbable that the Russian ships OF war
could leave it. 1t is now conceded on all
hands that they have left it and have maze
their appearance at different points on the
Black Sea, without molestation from Admira'
Dundas. Unless the next intelligence brings
some stronger exhibition of energy and ear,
nestness than any yet manifested, it may wei'
be doubted whether Turkey is not likely to
suffer from the English and French alliance
than Russia. 49,
