More Mineral Springs.

The water from the mi. Zlrcon Spring"
and POLAND SPRING." have recently at
trseted considerable attention on account Of
their beneficial effects In many diseases. but
particularly in those Of tho kidneys. This
effect may BE- attributed partly to their great
purity ami freedom from lime and other
injurious Substances, and partly to the pres
soee Of alkaline sals. chiefly silicases and
carbonates Of Potash and Soda. 10 may
therefore bo Of interest TO many Of your
readers 10 learn Of the existence OF other
springs Of the same class in Jour vicinity.
Daring the present season have had the
pleasure Of examining two such springs and
analysing the water. The first is situated
on the estate Of Francis Whitman, Esq. in
tho town Of Harrison. Is rises 10 tic sur.
Taco near the summit Of . very high hill,
forming . pool Of very clear. sparkling va.
ter. about ten feet IN diameter and three
deep. IL discharges about three thousand
gallon. por hour, forming fine brook ~ IL
flows away down the hillside. The temper.
aiure remains during the whole year at
about 40 T.. and therefore, Ice does not
form around !, In winter. A portion OF the
water Is carried by q hydraulic ram to the
residence OF Mr. Whitman. situated nearer
the summit Of the bull. The water 10 colt

Of this kind. A qualitative analysis showed

from Norway Village. II comes directly

water still more closely in compo''tion. The

The Charlotte, Norh Carolina, correspondent
of the Richmond Dispatch, gives tbs following
item:
This is the home Of Msjor- Gensnral D. n.
Hin For years he has been professor in the
Military Institute here Mrs. St0newsl jack
son is here on visit to her sister, Mrs.
General Hill. When Gen. Hill was pro-
fessor in Washington college, Lexington, Va,
his wifs's sister paid his family visit, and Gen
StOnewell, then professor in the Military Insti-
tule there, formed the acquaintance Thus it
happou5 .hat these tive brave men are brothers
in. iaw. Their father-in law is a Presbyterian
clergyman, and lives near this place. By the
way, both Gen. Jackson snd Gen Hill are elders
in the Presbyterian church. Gen. Hil's inhu-
enco here is unbOunded.
Among the Yankee prisoners at salisbury IS
a chaplain, who was taken by Gen, D. II. Hill.
He says that, having heard of what pi0us man
the general was, and belonging TO the same
church with hIm, he expected to be treated with
some consideration by that officer but thai,
upon asking sundry favCrs, he found that his
ecclesiastical relation was Of little service, and
that he is inclined to think that the general has
a small opinion s0tn ef a preacher who comes 20
aid in subduing the South.

The Condition Of rro.pltnI..

We find the subjoined remarks in the Rich
mond Enquirer II that journal is correctly in
formed, great outrageS are suffered to e1istunder
the eyes cf government that should not be tole-
rated moment after attention has thus publicly
been called to the fscts:
Some of the hospitals in the city are kept in a
wretched condition, and consequently are nuis-
ances to those confined in them and to the pub
lie outside In ore, the dead body of soldier
was suffered TO remain in the cellar for four
days, and was only removed then after the odor
had become so offensive as to drive nearly all
the nurses from the building. Amputated
limbs have, in one OF two instances, been found
in the back yards, in a state of offensive decay,
while scarcely any attention was paid to the
sanitary condition of the premises.
An effort is being made by some of the citi-
zens to obtain the cooperation of the city au
thorites for the purpose of keeping the hospitals
in good condition. This duty is really incum-
bent upon the military authorities, and should
be made independent of the sid of citizens, who
have already done well, and, from appearances,
do not seem to mind how much is thrown upon
their shoulders To some extent, the real work
ing men under the orders of the military au'
thOrities, have exerted themselves successfully
but there has as yet been nothing like a general
continued and systematic course pursued in re-
lstion to this all important subject. There art
drones in this military hive that need stirring up

The Taking OF HEurfreeabOro,.

From the Atlanta Southern Confederacy, July l9thl
We learn, from reliable source, that Col
Forrest, with 2000 cavalry, made dash into
Murfreesbore last Sunday morning soout five
o'clock. A battle with the enemy ststione7
there, about 1900 strong, enaued, lasting about
five hours. Over one hundred Yankees were
killed, and large number captured Our loss
does not exceed twenty-five killed and but few
wounded. Forrest captured 300 mules, l65
horses, 65 rOSd wagons laden with commissary
stores, and battery of four brass pieces, with
eaissons. He burnt three locomotives with
freight trains attached, filed with eommisssry
and other stores, and burnt the depot building,
which was full of stores. The gallant colonel
was parOling the captured men on Monday
morning, but retaining the Officers-one OF
whom was Brigsdier-G General Cnttenden, son of
the old man elephant"
Col. Law toms cavalry was in the engagement,
and distinguished themselves for their gallant
bearing. Major Whaley, of his regiment, with
the men under his immediate command, charged
and took the battery. Lieut.. Mead bore CON
spicuOus part, and acquitted himself with honor.
Indeed all acted well, and illustrated anew the
prewess and intrepidity Of Southern soldiers.
Forrest is one Of the coolest and most compe-
tent officers in the service. He is an old friend
Of omS. We knew him well years ago. He is
made Of the right kind of stuff for q successful
commander. Ii the government would put him
at the head of 10000 men, hS could take them
to Chicago and back again without disaster or
defeat Such is our opinion Of the military skill
of this talented man.
We hail this brilliant feat as toe precursor of
most important events-we hope the capture OF
Buelps entire command. Reinforcements and
supplies are cut off from him, not only from be-
yond Nashville, where tho gallant Morgan is
operating, but this side also. We hope our
forces from three sides will now fall upon him,
and finish the work for him.
