Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazehr.
WARRENroN SPRINGS. Aug. a We have
here pleasant. and moderate sized company;
and this spot yet retains its beauty, and
think is admirably designed for the purpose
for which it is applied. But as your read
ers are already quite familiar with the
place, description now would be unneces-
sar7. A rain is much needed, not only for
purposes of vegetation, but to fresheu the
verdure of tie trees and grass, with which
the spot is amply provided and ornauented.
Tue company are from various sections Of
thu Union, and We find many familiar faces
from our old town, and the counties adj AGENT.
Here are way-worn travellers from many
slimes, seeking in their jourueyings quiet and
roposs from further fatigue in their travels
around the world. Among cur bumber, are
many settled persons with their families, and
the young and old can enter into any species
of enjoyment best suited to their tastes. Lass
evening we bad many additions to cur num-
Der, brought hither by the court DOW being
held 10 Wsrrenton, who came out to ENJOY
for the evening the merry dance, or to meet
friends, and hold social intercourse fer few
hours.
All seemed to pass the hours pleasantly in
hlarity and enjoyment, till The close of the
bali, at IL O'Clock last night. Soon after this,
the quiet and repose of nearly all at the
Springs WAS disturbed by the announcement
Of the sudden death of Mr.. z r Carver, by
.be bands Of Mr.. James Green, OF this county.
This intelligence you have, doubtless, re-
ceived before this, and it will not. therefore,
be necessary for me to enter into particulars,
or to discuss the testimony which relates to
the history of this sad and melancholy affair.
l, will be sufficient for me to say, that, after
an examination before the Coroner, Mr..
Green having given himself up to the Sheriff: }
sir. Green was discharged from custody. 1t
NAV be added that the affair occurred sud
denly, and the fatal termination happened,
before those in the peighborhood of the par
ties. could interfere to separate them. Tbs
event has, OF curse, thrown a gloom over
the company here, and all regret the unfor-
tunate transaction. Mr.. w. Ii. Payne az
peared 10 the examination Of the case before
the Coroner, as Commonwealth Attorney,
aud B. Ii. Sbackelford for Mr.. Green. W.
