The virginia Springs.

The summer thus far has not been very
as.;rc. and springs travel has not been
'rr W. as brisk as it would have been had
srn bore down with less mildness and
~, s;derstion. This week, however, has
'n aned a more glowing period, and we
Wv anticipate hegira amongst those
~" -. arc no, members Of the impecunious
on,-v reds" They will have delightful
.,"-nev from the blazing lowlands to the
.,ountains. Every milo in the route is
,,-, and more refreshing until the noun
.,;,s are gained, where there is new in
ration, bringing new life to the wea-
IA traveller. We can we'll appreciate
,S,, delightful journey by the oppression
ND suffering of its opposite, having re-
gently iourneyed from the elysium OF the

he flames of AdamS'S Valley.
IN no part Of the world do mineral wa

-amaykablc curative powers as in the Pir-

The PEYToNS have improved it wonder
nIIy from the dilapdation of the war, and
We yesterday published the hatterlns let
,rr Of their distinguished guests, bearing
testimony TO the admirable manner III
which they entertain their visitors.
The Old Street, the Rockbridgc Aim,
he Hot. and the Healing, arc all this year
under excellent management. We know
.lc gentlemen who have them in charge,
, ,,d know that the traveller will have no
good ground Of complaint. Then there are
The Warm and the Bath Ahm-very de-
IchtIul places, well kept.
Nearer home we have the augusta
I}lns SWJiur, under the direction of Mr..

gives glowing account Of health and plea
sure there. The sulphur, the chalybeate,
and the alum springs he extols as ex-
rellent. He also commends the table,
which, with majority of guests, is even
more important than the waters.
The White Sulphur Of Grecnbrier had
On Saturday some three hundred guests,
and the Rockbridgc Alum the same num-
Der. The companies formed excellent So
cicty, and there seemed to be moro than
usual genialty and gaicty at both.

Keeps the spacious hotel very comfortably.
!, is fortunate for the travelling public
that just there, where they so much want
there is such an inn and
such an accommodating proprietor. The
guests at all the springs are rapidly in
creasing.
The railroad trains ran to within three
niles Of Coyirgton last week, and will the
present reach that town. The rough part
Of the staging is already avoided. The
road is now in excellent repair, and the
twenty miles of staging to the White IS
most comfortable. The stages and teams
are the very best, and that twenty miles of
stage travel is, as matter of health, worth
more to the invalid than all the balance of
The Journey. In other days the jour
leg in stages along the superb noun
tain roads skirtcd by the grand scenery of
the rayincs and precipitous moutain sides,
which could be 50 we'll examined and criti-
cSed by the passenger as the stage delibe-
yatcly threaded its serpentine way through
the passes, was worth as much to him
as the waters in the restoration Of his
health and vigor. Never was the road to
The White better, and never were the
stages and teams superior to those Of the
present lines of Mcssrs. TRoTTER &@Co.
We speak from our own knowledge when
We say that any representations to the
contrary are altogether without founda-
lion.
At Stanton, en- route, the two hotels,
Virginia and american, are admirably kept, |
aud the traveller who is seeking rest and
regcaton cannot but be gratifed by pass
ing a few days at either in the lovely town
Of Staunton-now know as" The Hub"
In short, the glorious season in the Viz
GINA mountains has begun, and all who in
tend going should so at once. Everywhere
the accommodations are as good as before
the war.
