RED SULPHUR SPRINGS. Aug. a5.
Thursday night last there was a grand fancy
ball at the Salt SULPHUR It happened that In my
route to this place stopped Q night there and
that night was the fancy ball night. There was
. great display of fancy ydresses-there were Spa.

Paul Pry, and pretty tolerably well Most of the
fanciy dressed looked rs though they knew
everybody else knew who they were, and they
boggled in an attempt TO disconnect themselves
from their characters and throw themselves into
those they were counterfeiting. They were there
fore, neither themselves nor anybody else. The
milk maid looked forlorn as though she had up
set her milk; the miller looked ilatease, and the
sailor was gruru when he should have been Jolly.
This is generally the with fancy balls. Every
body wants to see them, and many wants to play
part in them, and everybody Is glad when they
own character and to see people themselves once
more.

had nearly the whole season-indeed at this time
more than he can well accommodate; but he be-

in his active supervision of his establishment.

Co.'s stages, which came over in good time. This
line is the same formerly owned by Kent Sum

kill & Co., and the line ia conducted by them with
great efficiency. They connect with the Virginia
and Tennessee Railroad via the Sweet Springs to
the White and via the Red and Salt to the White.
They have most excellent drivers, teams and
stages. The road by this watering place to the
Salt and White is good but great Improvement

find the Red Sulphur full of visitors, and kept
in admirable style. The table is abundantly sup
piled with excellent viands that are well cooked.
The bread is very fiue, and no one can find cause
to complain. Messrs Campbell, Dunlap & Co.,
spare no pains to accommodate their guests. Mr..
Haynes, "a Delegate from the county,) one of the
partners, is also here and though not giving his
whole time to the establishment, assists in manage
ment. Major Campbell is the active partner and
eient colleague in management, Mr.. e. Ii.
CowLEs, the Clerk, every thing gets on in most
systematic and satisfactory style. Mr. Cowles is
we'll known here, as he has held the post he now SO
efficiently fills, for some years. de is very Pc

present in great many places at one time +! He
is clerk, quartermaster and stage agent, and dis
charges all his offices faithfully.

Sulphur is retrieved as is seen in the large mum.
