ALLEGmAsY SPRINGS July 10th 1856
These magic waters have not lost their power 10

crowd and reyivng inYalids nov here daily Attest
The company present isaready large and every stage
comes crowded with fresh ARRIVALS. With the great
celebrity that this water has acquired for its curative
properties it il Mt strange that these Springs should
become hygean :" Mecca" to which the afflicted
should make thnir pil .rim1gcs drine and be healed

are many here who come b minister to their social

place congenia to their wishes. The accommodate
tions good the society excellent aud the sources
OF amusement varied and attractive. For instance
Last night (Sunday,) the sports of the ballroom be-
ing suspended, and there being no preaching num-
her of young Indies and gentlemen, in which Lynch
burg, Richmond and Automatic we're respectively and
brilliantly represented, assembled ut the hospitabe
cabin Of citizen Of Lynchburg and employed them
selves in singing "hymns, psalms and spiritual songs
and never did swecter melody float amid these grand
old mountains than there rose up in vespcr tones
10 Heaven All was in unison. The lingering light
of quiet sabbath day had just family died away;
the stars beamed down in their serenest and lovelest
aspect the huge mountains up in grand majesty
until they lost in the clouds the ripping waters
of the river murmured an evening lullaby and the
voice of music, sweet yfolan sounds, stole forth
in keeping with the spirit of the scene and lent its
enehantments to the occasion.
Ten-pins, billiards and the ball room furnish their
quota of enjoyment; and all seem contented and
happy ...,,
much enlarged and are very grcat-so that
one need stay away for fear of not getting quarters
The worthy proprieors attentive and polite, and
will leave no means unemployed for promoting the
comfort of their guests. Success to the Allegheny.

Tue DRoUGnT continues in this section of country
with no present indication of change From some
of the finest agricultural districts we hear that the
corn crop is irretrevably gone-not all the waters
Of the world would now make half crop. The to-
haeco crop Is also suffering seriously.
The annexed from the Baltimore Sun shows that
the drought also prevails in that State to distressing
degree: 81,
want of rain Vegetation Is said to be nearly parch
cd up and the crop almost IN many localites'-
The Ekton Wing of Saturday, referring to actual OBJ
scrvation in Cecil county, says:
The pastures are so scorched up that cattle are
growing poor; some farmers have had to commence
feeding their stock, and this must become general II
there is no rain for ten days TO come In many pa-
ces the roots OF the have never been wet since II
was planted, and that crop is already almost ruined
There are no potatoes and amount OF rain hereai-
ter can make half a crop The earth is so dry that
we have the wind whrling up the dust from the
middle of grass fields. II is concluded that many
farmers in the county must lose money by the years
operatons We do not see how renters OF the poorer
class of farms will stand 1t; many OF ihen no douo'
will be broken up
The Rockville Sentinel says:
The effects of distressing drought visible all
around The corn looks scared its blades twisted
up like whip cords. The potato crop is beyond hope
of recovery and vegetables of all sorts must be cut
very short if they continue many more days without
rain The weather is intensely warm, and the dust
binding and choking.
The Denton journal makes the same complaint as
to the corn and other crops in Caroline county.

WHAT DOES IT MEAS?-We find in the Washing
ton correspondence of the New York Herald the fol-
lowing unWeleome greeting ny the democracy oi our
c-deuam comrade, ''the gentleman from bedford. =
What national committee have the Democracy been
attaching him to so SOON
Mr.. Burwes card TO his constituents, as publish
ed in the Richmond Enquirer, is far from being salts
factory to the old hunkers who constitute the Jack
son Democratic Association. Nearly two-thirdS of
the members of this body are Irish adopted citizens,
or their descendants and they nothing in the
card alluded to that purges Mr.. Burwe of his Know
Nothing procvities. So far from it, they contend
that 1t is deliberate undsgused confession ofknow
Nothing faith and intense Americanism every
point except in regard to the Presidential nominees.
They are therefore getting up remonstrance, to be
submitted to the association, against Mr. Burwels
being retained in the National Committee. If they
do it will be carried and there will be the devil TO
pay'
The TELEGRAPH-We learn from the Athens
tIenn.) Post that effort is being made to es-
tablsh line of telegraph from Knoxville to Chat
anooga The parties who have this matter in
nand the Post says, are reliable and responsible and
uly able TO carry out any and all their undertakings.
The route proposed Is on the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad to Cleveland and thence to Chatta-
hooga ga the Cleveland and Chattanooga Rail Road,
connecting at Chattanooga with the line running from
Nashville to Augusta.
The Richmond and Abingdon Telegraph, under the
energetic and lndicious management of DR. Morris is
pushing on rapidly towards the Tennessee line. We
"re not exactly apprized how far the work has ad-
'aheedbut suppose that it will be completed within a
'htn, should the enterprise above referred to sue
q feel the interval between Knoxville and Bristol on
e tennessee line, only, will remain to be filed to
s''e US direct Geographic connection with the South
"es'-"est and South. That space would not long
remain open
"hen the entire line is finished, it win probably
institute the chief medium of communication be-
."eeh the North and Southland one of the most
Pon'aole lines in the country.
