This is Q shot between wind and water--in
accusation is that we are guilty of fiippant"
notice Of the Fauquier White Sulphur Springs
his property. The notice thus complained
of wss we believe, s simple mention of said
springs In general enumeration of the water
ing places Of the country, and, considering
the popular estimate Of the said white sulphur,
as compared with the famous Greenbrier wa
tiers, we thought our "fippant' notice per-
tectly fair. Secondly: we are happy to learn
that the Commonwealth Of Virginia has select
ed the said mountainous, beautiful and healthy
location Of the Fsuquier Springs as q site for a
State Lunatic Asylum. We approve the act as
wise and benefcent one. Thirdly: it is news
to US that these springs are the Oldest in the
State. According to the Mosaic theory they
ought all to De very nearly of the same age.
In the fourth place. Mr.. Green confesses that
he has an aristocratic prejudice against the
penny papers, and that two years ago he drove

circulation or publication in Virginia Of such
newspapers as belong to the progressive indie
pendent penny class. Very we'll. We recol-
lect that Governor Wise, when in Congress,
boosted that there was not newspaper in all
the Accomac country; and this projected re-
commendation Of his, and his treatment of our
correspondent during that memorable Virginia
electioneering campaign Of last spring, show
that, upon this point at least, the far-seeing''
Governor continues to be consistent. An &C
tive Independent press is certainly an ugly
drawback to all your "far-seeing" governors
and scheming politicians but we fear that the
institution is now too firmly established in THU
country to be suppressed. Our old fogies mu1
