Hol for the Mountains.

We understand that the mountains Of Virginia are rap
idly hins up with health and pleasure seekers from all
portions OF the Union The Railroads for the past week
two have been croSded with passengers vending their
way 10 the Springs. The Greenbrier White and the
Alum, We hear, already have unusually large number
OF visitors We understand also, that the Montgomery
White and the Aleghany-two OF the best and most
agreeable watering places in the Union with accommoda-
tons not equalled by any other Springs in the Statehave
each about hundred visitors with continual accesons
every day The places together easily and plea
sanity accommodate near two thousand persons But
can't think OF these places without our mouths beginning
TO water-they have many good things 10 eat over
there and then they spendidly prepared People
ond ol ease and luxury find happier resort within
the limits Of the Commonwealth
All the other Springs, hear likewise rapidly till
ing up In sholt the mountains Will soon be full.
The most important item OF the news brought by the
last steamer is that West Point Professor was refused
dntance the Queens Levce by the master of Ceremo-
MES because he dressed according the required
etiquette MrDaas very OOshy took sides With the reiec
ted gentleman and returned with him The Queen when she
heard OF the affair directed the gentleman to be sent Tor

affair tomorrow.
