alright heritage II there is notshrub-
berry that tShenstOne might have en-
WED, y there is 5 freshness and quietude
and lovelipess about the tall pine trees
and untrodden mountains paths that
would have enhanced even the attrac-
tiops OF that classic spot. II there is not
q music that might have charmed Ca
lypso and her nymphs, there Is sweet
harmony ST the waters and trees and
winds that Apollo and Pan would not
have disdained to hear. But If had al
the eIouuenee of Writ and Irving and
the author Of Beulah, and told you In
their exquisite vein the long story OF the
attractions of this sequestered place IN
one letter, I would not have told you the
half. Here is q veritable Fool OF
Siloam y and a balm OF Sflead !.
that will bring the "bloom OF nealth :
TO the worn and weary and dishesrtened
invalid-that will change the premature
decrepitude and childishness, ensuing
imprudence, folly and sin. to the ripe
strength and confident assurance OF atm
letic manhood. Here almost may age
be turned to youth, old maids to young
maids, freckles and pimpes and blem-
ishes to beauty, may be removed Win
the magic success that never "cosmet-
II
never dreamed Of in his brightest VISIONS
of perfumery and toilet articles.
As vet. since the abolitionists and their
union allies burned the hotels here, the
accommodations are not 50 good or syg
oeptable as they might be and 1oiH be,
soon. but there are several comfortable
bouses which receive visitors, where
plsin. substantial fare is to be had IN
abundance and there is plenty Of room
for tents, which, in this warlike time,
and during this armistice, ought TO afford
a very comfortable summer residence
for those who would fly from the evils Of
y1tdckey7f, in all the schools, TO this only
one pAnacea not found in the materia
medica, who would prefer health to dis
ease, even at the expense Of fashionable
convenience and luxurious ease. II
there is not q bill Of fare that would
have delighted Lucullus or put Epicurus.
ints ecstacies, there is hog and hominy,
and corn bread and coffee, and butter
and eggs, and venison-sueh venisOn as
Tom Fassitt, Henry Littleton, VIII Me-
Jeuau. Sam Cox, Charlie Gregoire, Hugh
Smith. Deacon Katxenbach and Jim
McNair would have smiled TO see, and
would have relished more than they
ever did young praEie chicken, trout OF
Bourbon, or oysters, IN the sheu.
But l weary you and your gentle
readers. Look lenienly; view not with
a critics eye this hasty contribution.
Before l close, let me make sugges-
ton TO the lovers of the principles OF I16
here and eUerylDhere, but most especially
to those who hoped and believed IN the
Southern Confederacy, and would be
glad to see the Confederate States OF
America yet take rank among the king
doms of the earth" righteous in Thy
sight: an honor to Thee among the
nations the glory of all lands by reason
of their rightso1sress aad obedience to-
wards Thee.u IS s proper TindicGtiOR
Of those true and just principles CT oJlr
fathers and simple Offering to the
blessed memories of Washington, Put
nam, Stark, Hancock, Adams, Greene,
Lee, Henry, Marion and Sumter and
Hayne and their cOmpatriois; and
that suggestion is amply this-since we
have no StOneVall Jackson, no Gen. Lee,
no Gen. Joe Johnston, and Their Hqble
officers and men to idOiize and invoke
for victory and independence, let's turn
rs TO the God of ArahRm, the God of
Isaac and the God OfJscOb. As we have
gCOrSbipped in Oitr hearts, if not on Ol9
h1tttht ouE NdtAChA GAAOA eAAlf esAA- Va
them and their armies for JOrty-eigh
long months, suppose we worship o1g-
God for little while, both ill Our hearts
and often on oar kslees-say, forOnlysix or
eight short months, or longer, II need 6e,
awaiting patiently and faithfully bis
own good pleasure till He cause His
face to shine.7 To thSt end let's read
fervently and prsyerfully one oT laore
times 8 day, the Psalm LINN, and those
of Us who believe in prayer may not
add the petitions that
occur to every prayer maker, not forget
ting to ask, {" Let tbe sighiEg Qf THE
PRISONER come before Thee.' Let qs
do this, and not 90 after strange gods,
the "a greenbaek +" calf or any other yam
kee-abolition "patent." Let US look 70
" the Lord" for we have been assured
that trust in man is cursed.
g be not deceived " by false promises
Of g ayetoes 2 and "my policy" and the
other plausible tEias-s Of the political
"at the 0tae4 e.G o. the
avenue" As you refused to worship the
"knight of perfidy" introduced to you
as /" a man of unblemished virtue and
amiable manners" do not, for the sake
Of the honored desd. and for the welfare
of the honogssle end true hearted living,
be duped by the SGacke Panza OF the
Don Quixote. Per6uH5 sdt.
Very Respectfully yours, DAVID.
