Of these Springs--of which there are fce

For many diseases they are almost spe-

TuE WASHINGTON SPRINGs.-Far away
in Washington county, Southwestern Viz
GINA, near the Virginia and Tennessee
railroad, are the Washington Springs-a
Watering place not much known heretofore,
beyond the section of the State in which
il is located. 1t is known there, however,
MS sort of pool of Sloan. There have
the sick and ailing gone for years, ever
since it was settled by the white man, and
possibly even before, when travcrScd alone
by the red man, to be healed. Latterly,
however, more attention has been paid to
il, and the means of accommodation for
guests have been increased. The waters
are very powerful-cmbracing both sui
phur and chalybeates. They are ctfica-
cious in many forms of disease (see adver-
tiscmcnt). We know something OF the
excellence of these waters, and most earn
estlv recommend them. They are loca-
ted in one of the most fertile, abundant,
and lovely districts of Southwestern Nir-
GINA, so famous as Il garden spot of the
State. OF course the visitor must there DC
in clover, if there is any kind of manage
mcnt and from the good reputation and
responsible character of the proprictors, we
are warranted in anticipating fine fare toI
their guests.
These places will all be open at
the beginning of the next month, which IL
the Springs season. We call attention &c
the advertising columns of the DtSpdtc'
for further particulars.

CHOLERA ITEMS.
The National Steamship Line has de-
cidcd TO stop German emigration through
their vessels.
The British Government has ordered a
full examination to be made OF all Ger

TIE GERMO-ITALIAN QUESTION.
The Germo-Italian question remains un-
changed. Italy has telegraphcd to the
French Government that an engagement
has been entered into not to attack
Austria.
Intelligence from Vienna, Berlin, and
Florence, continues mcnacng. Arnm
mcnts were vigorously pushed forward by
Austria, and freight trains were suspended
on the Trieste railway, in order to quicken
military transportation. At Berlin 1t was
expected further augmentation OF the
Prustian army would be made.
A Florence telegram to the Paris Temps
states positively that General La Marmora
was about to assume command OF the
army. and would be succeeded in the
ministry by Baron Ricusoli.
RumorS are again current III Paris that
England and France would offer to mcdi-
ate between Austria and Prussia, but the
REPORTS are not generally credited.
The Russia note of the 2Sth Of April, in
reply to the dispatch Of Austria of the Goth,
expresses surprise that Austria should have
Withdrawn her forces from Bohemia only to
continue her armament, &C., and that the
,.,I, has
middle States to disarm. Prussia, says the
dispatch, is still ready to reduce her army
to a peace footing, if Austria will fully
carry into effect her consent to take SINH
lar measures.
The Berlin correspondent of the London
Times says:
"Italy began to arm month ago, at the
time when the two German Powers were in
the height of their dispute. Austria was
about to disarm, when the pride Of her En-
peror was aroused by the preparations
which Italy had commenced with view OF
striking blow in case of war between Aus
tria and Prussia. Austria then began to
arm instead of disarming, and Italy re-
turned menace for menace"

Fort MONROE, May 15.-It is understood
that the surgeon of the post has complied
with the instructions of President john
son to furnish a special report upon the
phvsical condition of Jeff. Davis. The
nature of the report has not been made
known, but. there is reason to believe that
it does not speak in very hopefulterms OF
his condition, and urges less rigorous sys-
tom Of confinement if his restoration to
pcrfect health is at all desired.

Correspondence OF the New ork News.
PARIS, April 3O.-Thc dogs of war are
not yet let loose in Central Europe, but di-
plomacy has difficult task to keep them
in leash. The news to-day is more belli"
cose than for the past week, and the signs
of the times lead us to suppose that the err
pl0SiOn must come. In spite of continual
assertions to the contrary from official
sources, it is well known that Italy is pre-
pairing for action. The French Emperor,
although declaring through the medium OF
the Imperial press the most pacific inten-
tons, has seen fit to call into service the
reserve force of the army, consisting of one
hundred thousand men, raising the number
of troops under arms to six hundred thou
sand mcn-a war footing. The Emperor
told the great European Powers, when he
proposed a congress at Paris three years
ago, that unless his project was carried out
a general European war was inevitable.
England pretended that congress would
hasten the disaster instead of averting il,
and declined to follow the EmperOrs ini-
tiative. A very short time must now clapse
before we shall sec the definite result of the
Austro-PruSsian imbrpglio--a patched-up
peace or a horrid war to desolatc the ma
tions.
Owing to the war news, the Bourse has
been in state of "confu-ion worse con
founded" for a week, with nopresent signs
of amelioraton. There have been runiorS
that the Exposition would be deferred bit
ii is reported by some journalists, of the
class who are always on intimate terms at
the Tuilleries, and know everything the
Emperor and Empress say in their private
apartments, that His Majesty exclaimed,
apr0poS of something, or perhaps even of
nothing: "Well, if there is war, it will be
of short duration, and will not Interfere
with the opening of the Exposition next
year."
