We are fortunate. We have an unknown correspon-
dent at the White Sulphur, who writes over the sig
nature of kitty" and who to keep sharp look
out on men and things that celebrated watering place.
As to politics she tells something about Bell and Eve
rett, and Douglas aud Breckenridge We incline to
believe she is a Bell first, and Douglas
man next, and Breckenridge man not at ALL
She can't 60 Breck because she likes darkeys to wait on
her-and Brock reported to be somewhat OF an eman-
cpaonst, who would rather the darkey abolished
than not and white hirelngs-such as he uses himself
substituted in his place. She is sensible woman, and
patriotic withal.
Our feminine correspondent has something to say on
the subject of and love- and actually makes our
mouth and heart so pitapat with her descrp
ton Of the beauty that is congregated at the White
Sulphur-and she is kind enough also to invite to
pair thither right away and put in seriously for wife
But alas these internal politics which engross now
leave us no time to think of women and love- We are
too strongly patriotic indulge in such luxurious dreams
We are serving our country with all might and elect
ing Bell and Everett with perfect rush. However, if
our fair correspondent will pick out smart NICE lovely
girl for us with big plantation and plenty of darkeys,
wen agree to marry in thirty days time by the almanac
without so much the pleasure Of introduction. Be-
ing in dead earnest the subject hope the ingenious
aud amiable kitty" will bestir herself in hehalf
aud let us know the result of her efforts at her earliest
couyenience-aud we shall ever be duly grateful for her
kindness toward us.
On with the glorious work

First of all find that the arrangements made for the

The President Of the company, the Hon. Jeremiah

ness of the concern and his urbane and agreeable at

me to say that whatever other Improvements the White

will not trouble you with any general description Ct
the changes that have been introduced-a few viii give
YOU view Of the W ,ole.
The Culinary department has been so remodeled that
il could not be recognized the same the surround
nes of the hotel have been ditched drained and paved
until all is dry, neat and sweet.
The Store-room is presided over by gentleman who
receipts the general manager for every arce placed
under his care and in turn gives out nothing save on the
order Of authorized agent Thus the responsloi
for all the vast supplies used during the season placed
upon the proper parties while larceny and waste are
prevented This system is applied 10 every department

barrels of city mill -four its erces OF sugar. sacks OF
Moca cases of Almonds raisins varieties OF nuts and
every other decacy that tempts the palate-With its
cords of champaign, sherry, crusty ports and conacs
seems ample to feed and TO drink an army.
The meat and vegetable Kitchens bread rooms and pas
try departments filed with French cooks and foreign
looking customers are neat and ceanly, aud SO many
improvements have been therein introduced that the Chef
de cuisine informs me- could cook for three thousand
persons at the same time"

is the FdetWdNdry Kitchen which is presided over by
two siu female cooks whose business il is to prepare
the little deicaces of diet and home comforts, so often

the kind believe, that has been introduced into any
hotel in America, or, probably, anywhere else II o
want of such facilities for the accommodation OF the nva-
lid as this kitchen affords has long been severely fe-at
this and other fashionable watering paces-and its ad
vlntages are being felt aud appreciated by every
invalid the place. 1t is pioneer effort happily con-
ceived for the comfort Of the SICK and look soon to
see similar establishments in all our first class hotels
The owners Of this property sparing neither pains
or expense make it all that the public wants and the
public taste demand that it shall be. As Virginian
am proud of the White Sulphur it is managed under
its existing administration.
The company now here numbers about 1000, and is
increasing by arrivals of from 20 to l25 day. The So
cety very select and innocent amusemens and gAity
reign supreme.
But, don't let me worry you To whatever other
charge amenabe, will not be classed with those who
act both editor and reader with long communications
prefer rather TO say few things pleasantly and as
truthiuIy as can, and write again.
Very respectfully,

The New York Daily Neos, Democratic says that
Collector Schel has issued circular addressed to
the Post Masters and other Government officers in the
State of New York, urging then to organize indepen
IDENTIFY hold exclusive State Convention, nominate
Breckenridge and Lane Electoral ticket &c. This seems
to determine that the Breckenridge party will not unite
with the conservative Of other parties in New York
in common effort to save the State from the Black Re-
pubcans and thus to defeat the election of Lincoln be-
yond peradventure The movement for union between
the supporters of Douglas and Bell however, appears to
be progressing favoraby, and believe that it will be
strong enough to the State.
1t is obvious that the Breckenridge men, everywhere
earnestly desire Lneons election, and directing ell
their efforts to that end.

Giving IL Up!

The Cleveland ITEM Banner, Breckenridge and Lane
paper said to be generally well posted in regard to cleo
ton matters expresses the opinion that Douglas cannot
get more than 600 votes in Tennessee. Ofcourse this
will give the Safe Bell and Everett allowing Brcck-
iuridge the balance of the Democratic votes But says
the Athens Post
"As from present appearances Mr. Brecknridges vote
will be less even than Douglass according to the Bau-
ners computation the Bell and Everett ticket will carry
the State by largely than 10000. much greater
majority than had been counting upon. But it would
not surprise in the least il the people, disguised
with the leaders of the hopelessy divided Democracy,
should abandon them to their fate aud rally to man TO
the support of the Naiiora Candidate Patriotism aud
selfpreseryaton both invite strongly TO such course"

Mr. Yancey in his recent speech at Selma, Ala as we
