Th. wurrE SULPHUR Of Greenbrier, the most
60. ~ ali the spriugs and perhaps superior for
g.. nsruliar virtues to any other Ia the world, has
n.ssed into new hands II IL now owned by q COM
.rr whose officers are not only practical and en-
.-ss,;e men. but gentlemen Of taste They have
M, time to make any very great improvement In
the buildings of the white Sulphur; but they have
been very actively engaged In making the best
arrangements their brief time viii admit, and we
anticipate q great change for the better. We
know some of those whom they have engaged to
conduct the business Of the White and can bear
testimony to their capacity and illness for their
duties Ia due time--i 9. in . year or t"o-tnis
fashionable Mecca of our mountans will be made
one Of the most elegant places in the Union. The
company have both the means and the taste to
make IL 3d.
The two SwEET-ths OLD SWEET and the RED
swEsT-,hose admirable tonic waters-are i'm.
proved The OLD SWEET is now more handsome
" improyed than any watering place In Virginia.
It's walks are elegant and commodious, and no
where else are the accommodations for the toilet of
the bathers so liberal and convenient,
The Mineral waters of the WARM and Hot are
uprivaned II their establishments are not 20 ex-
tsnsive as some others, their fare is good and
rooms comfortable. The abundant supply of wa
ter, gives assurance of q fine bath to the bather-
and the delicious atmosphere Of the singularly beau
tul Valley In which they rise, is most refreshing.
The proprietors of the Warm Springs have made
arrangements for a more extensive business than
ever and those who enjoyed the excellent fare of
their well supplied table last year, will 5e Ct
comfor, and satisfaction on returning. The trav-
eller will at least get q fresh and tender Venison
steak, if 'he hunter" is not deprived Of his game
in the Warm Spring mountains, by the severity Of
the past winter.
Near these famous waters Is the HEALING
SPRINGS of Messrs Porter & Co. They are com-
paratively new; but few years have gained them
great reputation for efficacy in dyspepsia and Gu
taneous diseases-whe the excellent fare of the
table has been the subject of praise of all who
soourned there.
Coming in this direction from the White Sulphur,
where we began, we next come to the ROCK.
Ar ia il six
tina, the afflicted gather there from the remotest
sections, to drink its waters. The multitude at.
tracted there annually is immense. Wonderful
cures in scrofula and cutaneous diseases, as well
as some forms of dyspepsia, have been made there
Next we have the RocKBRIDGE BATHS, near
the Rockbridge Alum, and quite accessible from
the Central Railroad. They are just brought into
notice as = candidate for = national reputation
They were formerly known as "Letcher's' AND
now as "Jordsn's Springs" and enjoyed fame
somewhat local for great virtue in many diseases.
They are ia the hands of an enterprising compa,
ny-have been greatly improved-and are already
growing rapidly In popular favor. They premise
to become place of great resort, and will afford
salutary reliefto the excess of company which of.
ten Expresses the Rockbridge Alum The baths
are delicious.
SPRINGS" long known for their virtues and now
in the hands of owners, who are improving them
and affording extensive accommodations to the
public. We invite atter I'm to the advertisement
of these Springs. They are in a most productive
region of Augusta county, and we doubt not en-
10y the advantage of abundant supplies close at
hand for the table.
The Central Railroad, by which these Springs
wi pr lass cir obcd ha
extended during the season SO as to promote the
convenience Of travel to some of them, while the
completion of the tunnel of the Blue Ridge will
expedite the journey of all into the valley.
North of this line of Springs, there are the Eau
quier WHITE SULPHUR most famous as well as
most beautiful place, within a short distance of
the handsome village of Warrenson There are
the RALEIGH SPRINGS, in Rockingham-the
BURNERS SULPHUR"-the "ShannondsIe. y in Jeff
ferson-the "Capon Springs" of Hampshire-and
the Berkeley Springs" in Morgan, near the
Potomac river. The two last enjoy a great repu-
taton, and indeed all these Springs are highly
popular.
Changing our route to the Danvilie, the
South Side, and the Virginia and Tennessee
Road, we reach another series of noble Springs
We have the "DIBRELL SPRINGS" In Bote.
prctty piaCc, Will wafer ike the FauQuier
White Sulphur.
"KoINER's SPRINGS" Immediately on the Vir.
ginia and Tennessee Railroad in Roanoke COUNTY,
greatly improved. There are White and
Black Sulphur-so called because of the deposits
at the bottom of the SpriDg-and they have made
some very remarkable cures of skin and other
diseases.
In the county of Bedford. New Liberty, we learn
there is an Alum Rock of immense body Discovers
ed, which yields water said to be most excel
lent for Its curative qualities and it is intended
bring 1t before the public in short time. 1t is
very convenient to the railroad.
We have the MONTGOMERY WHITE SULPHUR
sPRINGs'-where the improvements are of the
most ample and handsome kind-where the
scenery is very pretty, and where they have a
railroad to bring guests from the Virginia and
Tennessee Road and q telegraph communicating
with Lynchburg, and Of course with the ttlssraphie
,oorld. The fare has been always superb there
and the arrangements this year are upon the mos.
liberal scale. There are both sulphur and chsly
beate waters.
