Letter from Gov. O. P. Morton.

The indianapolis Journal of the Sth,
containes the following letter from the
Gov. to friend in that city, dated
HoT SPRINGS, June II, 1867.
My DEAR FRIENDs:-We arrived on
the 2nd Of June, after tedious and tire
some journey of nine days by rail, steam
er and ambulance The last sixty miles
from Little Rock we travelled in an am
bulance over the worst roads | ever saw,
fording deep streams, through deep mire,
and up and down precipitous rocks, where
it would apparently be impossible for a
wagon to so.
The Hot Springs are found in a narrow
valley, between two low ranges of the
Ozark Mountains, running nearly north
aud south. They issue from the noun
tain, on the east side of the valley, about
fifty feet above the base, and are nearly
fifty in number. The water varies in
temperature from 7S to 1jS degrees aud is
carried by wooden troughs into the tops
OF small bath houses, at the base of the
mountain, situated on the bank Of Hot
Spring creek. The patient first enters the
ufeSSlD1 room, Nncrc lie IS ulSrODeu ana
prepared for the bath. lie then goes back
into another where he enters large tub
| filed with water as hot as he can bear it.
lie remains in this five or six minutes and
then goes back further into the vapor
room. This is small close room, having
for its floor an open wooden grating, be.
meath which is reservoir of hot water.
lie sits down on little bench, and finds
by his side tin bucket filed with hot wa
ter from the spring, and tin cup. This
water he drinks freeig, so hot that it almost
burns his mouth, aud, strange to say, dis
covers that he likes it, and that it does not
make him sick. And now, if his skin is
not as imperyious us parchment, hc will
perspire as be never did before After
remaining in the vapor few minutes he
goes back aud again enters the hot water.
stays in that u minute or two, is then
rubbed OF and dressed, goes to his room,
gets between the blankets, drinks repeat.
edly Of the hot water, perspires about thir.
ty minutes, is then thoroughly rubbed,
puts on dry aannels, dresses aud goes TO
dinner with an appetite. The powers OF
these baths to produce perspiration is ex-
traordinary. bad no pers2iraton below
tho waist from the time of my first attack,
but the second bath here brought il out
proiasely onsmy limbs. and now | can per.
spire as we'll rs anybody.

TERMS OF AovERTIslNa.

Tho people here, and throughout this
country, have faith, amounting almost 10
ianaiicism in the powers Of these waters
to cure every chronic disease, except con-
sumption and affections Of the heart And,
from what have already seen and heard,
believe they may very nearly be regard
cd as specific for rheumatism and neural
gia. Persons are pointed out 10 me every
day. Walking up and down tho valley, who
were brought here a few weeks.or. .monihs
ago helpless, aud on beds OF litlers, who
are now apparently we'll.
The weather 10 this secluded little val
ley is comparatively cool and pleasant,
certainly much more 50 than at Indian
apolis and we sleep under blanket every
night. We have no mosquitoes, gnsts,
and very few flies. The valley il 50. deep
and narrow that the sun disappears be.
hind the western crest by half past four
in the afternoon, aud leaves us in the cool
shadow. The water possesses some re-
markable property which even chemistry
has failed TO discover. Ii is tasteless, but
many people drink il hot with us much
avldiiy as il il was ice water, and it is said
that with the aid Of pepper, salt and
little butter, 10 makes a very ralatable
soup. The country around is wild, noun
taneous and very sparsely populated, the
most Of the settlers liyipy by 6shiug aud
hunting.
Game is abundant, aud we have veni.
son on the table three times n day, aud
this is almost the only article of food that
is not brought from the North by way of
Little Rock.
There are s3out four hundred visitors
from every part of the Uuifed States and
Mexico. They are OF all styles, aud repre-
sent every species OF disease.
We hear very little politics discussed.
That subject is by common consent, ig-
nored, aud il is sometimes amusing to hear
people talk all around il, apparently
afraid to refer to anything even Iemotely
political.
The mail comes but once a week comes
on Saturday and leaves the next, so that
this letter will not start until next Satur-
day. News To you becomes news t1- me
about ten days after
These mountain valleys are very fertile
and capable OF growing any thing that is
produced in Indiana. but our potatoes,
flour, beet, butter, driel ,acles, nominy,
beans, etc, arc all brought from the North.
These springs are the most remarkable in
the wotld, aud when roads are made and
facilities for travel opened, this will be
the greatest Watering place and summer
resort on the continent.
Very respectfully, yoiir friend.

Girls.

There are two kinds of girls. One IS
the kind that appears best abroad-the
girls that are good for parties, rides, visitr;
&c. aud whose chief delight is in such
things. The other is the kind appears
best at home-Ghe girls that are useful
and cheerful in the dining room sick.room
aud all the precincts of home. They differ
widely in character. One is often q
torment at home, the other blessing.
One is moth, CONSUMING everything
about her; the other is sunbeam, inspir-
ing light and gladness all around her
highway. The right education will modi-
fy both little, aud thus unite the good
qualities of both in one
