After brief sojourn at the White Sulphur, here I
am at last and here expect to be (deo coense) un-
til the season is over. Where is the luxury Of loco
motion, when the thermometer is at 900 could
never see the sense of jostling in stagecoach from
spring to spring, or of packing and unpacking just
to pack up again when you are comfortably fixed
But to return to these springs. For good fare, q
clean bedroom, comfortable hair mattress, pure
dry atmosphere, elegant and refined society, q spa-
cious ball room, excellent music, and for such as
require it, the use of the sulphur water in every
riety Of combination in which it is found there is
probably no watering place in Virginia superior to
that from which write you.

ore said to challenge comparison with any mineral
waters in the world whilst their therapeutic proper
ties and effects are abundantly attested by the hun
dreds that visit them every season. Above oil there
is certainly no place which l have visited, where
the same amount Of material is US well employed.
Morning is wasted or misapplied. Every thing and
every one, the contrary, seem to contribute, in
some degree, to the great object of the travelling
community in the summer, which is social inter-
course and enjoyment.
Here widows and married ladies, instead Of play
ing the part Of wallfowers or mere "lookers on in
Vienna" are seen to vie with one another, as
they. ought, in lending grace and elegance
to the ball room. Husbands, instead Of being
jealous of their wives are proud of the admiration
they excite, and in turn assume the character of
gay Lothario, in preference to the green eyed, grim
visaged, tawny skinned Othello And even the con-
firmed bachelor (ike myselr for the time being, at
least, might very well be mistaken for Benedict on

the spiral mazes OF the dance, | will not under

for further notice at the grand fancy ball which is
to take place at the Salt about the Goth OF August
and of which will send you description in due
time.
must not omit to tell you that l paid flying
visit to Lewsburg, where the Supreme Court Of this
State is now in session. OF the Virginia bench, as
well as the bar, it may well be said at this time
Non Sunt quaies Grant To this it is true, there
some exceptions but they are very rare. Judge A;
the present President of the Court OF Appeals would
have done honor to the judiciary in its brightest
days. Next to him, perhaps, may be ranked Judge
D., who SO worthily wears the ermine that was
worn by his distinguished sire. With the other
Judges I am not sufficiently acquainted to express
any opinion upon their merits. I understand that
the practicesof making long speeches is not only
proverbia, hut has become quite nuisance in VIII
gna, and it goes lar to account for the alleged de-
generacy both in the bench and the bar Of that
State 1t needs the two hours rule established by
the Supreme Court Of the United States to lop Off
oil exciesenccs and to produce that condensation of
thought and language, which is essential to legal
eminence OF any kind. There is nothing like gag

his brains within proper compass. PALMETTO.
