DEAR SiRs: Aftera night ride in the sleep.
lng-cars we found ourselves shortly after
daylight approachingl Lewis Center, the
railroad station, from whence good car
rlage-road diverges through a Handsomely
tlmbcred region a few miles TO the Springs
The sunrise was truly maqnincent-fbe
sheeted gold which glowed and frightened in
the East, cast splendor upon the dark-green
lolage OF the forest trees, and the fresh,
green wheat, bearded barley, young, flutter-
ing corn, and crimson clover. spoke cheer
ingly for the crops this season. We are in
formed, and from observation discover, that
the prospect for grain this year is exceedingly
good IN this region-a great contrast TO
when we saw this part of The country last
June, blighted and blackened by the frost.
White Sulphur looks charmingly beautiful
now; it is greatly improved in every partic-
plar, and especially in the grounds and gar
dens about the hotel. The trees, shrubbery
and vegetation are very thrifty and flourish
ing in appearance while the appointments of
the watering-place have been improved to a
great extent. The springs are in good conf
dltlon, the bathing arrangements excellent
and the warm sulphur bath is especially re-
freshing and invi9orating. .3
The opportunity for exercise and amuse-
mentsisamplei billiard tables, bowlings
and bagatelle, amuse part of the guests. while
others are driving along the pleasant shaded
roads, which are in fine order; others take
strols through tlre deep, dense forest hard
oy, .whloh'is one of a massive and mapnif-
cent growth--indeed one of the finest and
richest growths of timber that we have seen
for many day. Indeed, there is nothing
wanting in beauty to tho natural scenery Of
this location, and the artificial additions to
its comfort and Improvement have been lib
orally, nay, extravagantly, laid out.
II is, indeed, n watering-place of which
Ohio and the West may well be proud. Ro-
mantically placed upon tho banks of u beau
uful stream; surrounded by fine rolling
country, alternated with fields and forest
in n high, healthy region, with an excellent
hotel, and large number of neat cottages.
and the amplest accommodation there is
nothing which should prevent this place
from becoming the Saratoga of the West
more especially when it is taken into con-
slderatlon how many varied and valuable
mineral waters may be obtained here, whose
salutary influences, combined with the pure,
fresh and delightful air of this region. not
only promote, but preserve health.
Mr.. Wilson, proprietor, has left no stone
70 conduee TO the Beauty, comfort,
and completeness Of this establishment; while
his assistants-Mr. Sweeney, Mr.. Joe Cul-
bertson, Mr.. Spain, Mr.. Kingsberry, and Mr..
Hoppie-form corps of attaches whose
and attentiveness form a model of
useful and devoted application to duty and
civility. Indeed, the supervision and SUI
perintendence of the whole concern, can not
fail TO give satisfaction to all visitors; and
we, of the West will be derelict to our own
duty and interest, if we do not Iiberally sun
port and patronize so capital an establish
ment at home, instead Of seeking inferior
places elsewhere.

vention here o-day, with unanimous resolve
