The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1867-05-29

20 receive visitors for several DAYS. The
Central railroad will commence its daily
trains to Jsckson's river on Monday, and
will be opened to Covington on the lst Of
July, or few days thereafter-at furthest,
on the 10Th. Most of the passengers for
the Springs take this route, and will be
mach gratitied by its extension to its ter
minus at Covington. The twenty miles of
staging from that point to the White Sui.
phur will be over good road in TRoTTER
Co.'S fine stages. Next year it is hoped
hat even these twenty miles will be ira
vcrscd by rail upon the Covington and
Ohio road.
In the westward route the schedule de-
,ermined on gives no time for stoppage at
stanton, and in the return trip time only
+, given for breakfast at that pleasant
own. The passenger will have greater
speed, but he will be deprived of de-
aghtful interval of repose accorded to him
in schedules of former years. in that town,
where a man rests from fatigue about as
snsctly and benefcially as anywhere else
we know of, save at the Springs them
selves.
At Stsunton, on the Central line, the
traveller finds the first point of divergence
% watering place. He here takes the
stage for the AUGUSTA WHITE SULPHUR and
ALUM SPRINGS formerly Stribling). They
arc this season opened by one of the best
known and most popular of Springs mana
gers, Mr.. J. A. HEFELrINGER. They are
located in a beautiful section of the rich
county of Augusta, thirteen miles from
stanton. Their waters are highly i'm
pregnated with mineral properties, and
consist of both sulphur, chalybeate, and
alum. In Augusta, at these Springs, Wey-
cr> Cave, and Staunton, the traveller may
spend while delightfully."- and luxuriously.
Leaving Staunton, and enjoying on the
way the refreshing landscapes of the fine
farms in Augusta, the grand scenery Of
Buffalo Gap, and the wild mountain passes,
with their rapidly-running crystal
streams, which glisten in the sun as they
70 ioyously away toward the plains, you
reach Goshen depot, thirty miles from
Stanton. Here is the point of departure
for the Rockbridge Alum Springs, fifteen
miles distant.
The RorKRRIDGE ALUM SPRINGs-brought
into notice first by the late Mr.. JOHN w.
Frazier, and now conducted with re-
markable enterprise and success by Messrs.
FRAZER tWM.) * RANDoLrH-have grown
more rapidly in popular esteem than any
waters within the State. They maintain
during the season larger company than
adv, we believe, except the Greenbrier
White Sulphur, unless, indeed, the Old
Sweet may equal them. The Rockbridge
Alum waters stand amongst the most ia
nous for their remarkable cures and their
general efficacy in all cutaneous diseases,
dyspepsia, scrofulous affections, chronic
Examinations of the kidneys and urinary
passages, diseases of the mucous men,
brAne. &C., &C., including all diseases of
the clandular system. The positive action
Of the alum waters upon these and num-
her of other diseases has given them a
widely-cxtended reputation, which every
season fully sustains. The accommoda-
lions are excellent and extensive.
Continuing from Goshen depot along the
yalley, bounded by mountain ranges, in
len miles You arrive at Millboro', Bath
county, from whence the traveller takes
Ire Stage for no less than four watering
,.aces, all within a distance Of twenty
three miles. First, the BATH ALUM, within
ten miles place with very fine build
az, and having an alum water of very
great efficacy.
The Bath Alum is beautifully located at
the eastern base of the Warm Spring
mountain, in the vicinity of several trout
streams, and is well kept by Mr.. BAXTER.
Five miles across the mountain is the
pretty village of Bath Courthouse, with its
Injurious bath and five miles beyond that
are the ever-famous Hot Springs, of which
We have already spoken at some length.
The Hot SPRINGS have been remem-
berti perhaps as gratefully as ever were
curative waters by those who found in them
relief from physical affection. They act
with great force upon rheumatism, govt,
dyspepsia, and all complaints growing out
Of diseased liver. They are a powerful
Alternative, and restore to vigorous action
subdued and enfeebled circulation with re-
Markable rapidity. The energetic and
LIBERAL company which now own the Hot
have greatly improved it, and nowhere
tan an invalid or pleaSure-seeker be more
comfortable.
Three miles from the Hot are the Heal
ing Springs: a modern watering-place
compared with the older springs OF the
Valley. 1t is a delightful place, and its
waters have some rare virtues. In rheu-
matism, neuralgia, alterations, dyspepsia,
scrofula, &C., the Healing Spring and Bath
have performed some wonderful cures. Mr..
STEPHEN PORTER, the obliging and courte-
Gus manager, is still the superintendent OF
this agreeable summer resort. The scenery
about it is very fine, and near it is the GU
riosity of the bursting out from the foot OF
the mountain of Cedar Creek a large
stream which runs off along pretty plain
hemmed in by mountains, called the
Happy Valley"
