The Old .Sseet shows mach enterprise AND
taste as any other watering place, aud with IT'S ne"
and extensive brick hotel cottages and mag innocent
bath in one of the most delightful az wei as beau
tifai places In the mountains. The White and the

extensive ARRANGEMENTS for the public accommo-
dation: bat their example aud the increasing de-
mands of travel occasioned by the extension OF the
railroads into the mountains, have caused them all
to brush up, and so where We may, we lind ill.,
creased spirit aud energy and increased comforts
for the traveller.
The traveller by the Central Railroad finds him :
self among the mineral waters as sooa as he en-
tiers the Valley. He may take from Stsnnton al
most any road and he will come soon to mineral
spring The whole country abounds with them in
a manner that is unparalleled in any other land
Beginning with the Berkeley Springs aud coming
up the Valley We have 0rrick's Springs, Capon
Springs, Jordan's Springs, Burners Springs,
Shannondsls Springs, Rawlsy Springs aud the
Augusta or stribling's Springs. Leaving Staunton
By railroad, he coon falls in with cluster OF
springs viz: the Rock bridge Alum. the Rockbridge
Baths on the left and few miles only distant. a
little further on and at Marlborough Depot the
traveller may diverge by splendid stage line
and passing through picturesque country IN
ten miles reach the Bath Alum. Soon after he
crosses the Warm Springs Mountain hom which
there is the most magnificent view, aud reaches
the valley in which are located the nobest Their
NAL baths in the world-the Warm and the bot
Spriags; baths that are luxurious beyond all de-
scription, and that exert an influence upon d.
seases TO which they are adapted that is magical.
no visitor to the Mountains of Virginia should
fall to see these wonderful curiosties OF nature
The distance between the Hot aud Warm is only
I've miles and only three miles from the former is
the Healing Sprnga delightful and romantic place
whose waters are highly esteemed The Heal
ing is but tbrty-three miles from the White Sui
phur, only two miles further than the Jackson's
river depot of the Central Railroad is from the
White So that by this route through the Warm
Springs valley, the traveller has several Of the
most celebrated watering places, and the opportu
nifty of frequent rest and repose in the way to or
from the great White.
At the White ne ID fifteen miles from the Old
and Red Sweet and their invigorating baths
situated in Que of the loveest valleys We ever
beheid-twenty.three from the Blue Sulphur,
and twenty-five from the SAT- Sulphur, in
Monroe. Passing by the Salt Zone of the most
famous aud popular of the old Springs) you
reach, in seventeen miles, the Red Sulphur of
Monroe, whose waters are 50 popular for their
great efficacy ia pulmonary, chest and throat dis
eases and dyspepsia. The traveller who finds him
self at this place should never think of returning
without taking the stage ronte TO Newbern, i'll fu-
laski county, a distance OF thirty odd miles, where
he meets the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad. In
that stage route his eyes Will be blessed with
scenes aud views on tbs New River which are in
describably grand and beautiful.
BY the Virginia aud Tennessee Railroad we reach
a number of excellent Springs, which we may
barely enuInerate, viz: CoyGer's, aud the Mont
gomery White, Immediately on the road-the Al
leghany Springs, five miles from it, and the yell
low Sulphur not much farther,-the Graysou Sui
phur, the New River, the Pulaski Alum, and the
Chilhow ie &C., with others in various directions
Iu short, in no route the traveller may take, car
he fail to meet with healthgviDg waters, and
what is hardly of secondary Importance in rssto
ring health aud strength to the enfeebled AM
wearied body, ever changing and lovely scenery
No State presents such attractions of waters
scenery aud braeing atmosphere. On this subject
Dr. TrspALL, in his interesting book Minera
Waters of Virginia, very truly says:
$40 inyalds, the Mineral Waters of Virgins
present the most powerful attractions. Throwing
out of view the advantages to be derived from tn,
restorative and invigorating effects of the differ
ent waters, all in a short distance of each other
and forming complete group, the invalids woult
frequently q nd themselves cheered and animated
by natural curiosi.ies, landscapes, and mountain
scenery, surpassed by none in grandeur, beauty
and sublimity; and, in passing on, the ecstacy 0
the transition would be almost INDISPENSABLE. -
They would behold q country blessed in man,
places with tue richest soil, the delicious eli
mate, favored by the gentlest airs aud warmed b,
the most genial suns posse ssiug al! the element.
