II arrived in this city yesterday, after tedious
and harassng travel of twenty-four hours, from the
Montgomery White Sulphur Springs, whence |
wrote to you last. The country from that point to
Bristol on the Virginia and Tennessee line, and the
terminus Of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad,
presents very many attractions, well calculated 10
diminish the tediousness of the travel. The distance
between these points is about hundred and hir-
ty miles In richness rtility and beauty of scenery
the country along this route may be said to surpass
any of equal extent in the Union, probably the
world 1t is peculiarly the garden spot OF virginia,
combining agricultural and mineral resources
