KINDRED SoULs.-There is nothing more
delightful while travelling through roman
tic regions than to meet by accident with
some soul kindred to your own, who Is,
like yourself, inspired by the picturesque
prospect. An artist on q recent visit to
Catskill was contemplating with rapture o
rare sunset. The heavens were flooded
with golden and purple light, and field and
mountain glittered with the reflected glories
of the sky. Suddenly he perceived per-
son standing by his side, and, turning to
him, exclaimed with enthusiasm
"What magnificent picture you have
here, my dear sir :"
Whereabouts ?" was the very inditfer-
ent inquiry of the stranger.
"Look all around-the mountains, the
heavens, the setting sun. What picture can
surpass such view"
"Why, yes" replied the stranger, in a
deliberate way, =" have often thought that
if l could only raise money enough to set
up cake and beer stand in this location it
wouldn't pay bad, because lots of folks
travel along in this neighborhood."

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch
COLD SULPHUR SPRINGS, VA,
September 9, 1868.
The visitors to the various springs are
leaving, although the weather is warm for
September. The season began earlier than
usual, and has been one of the longest and
largest known in the history of the Virgi-
MA springs. The months of June and July
were unusually hot, which accounts for the
early rush to enjoy the mountain breezes
and the health-giving fountains Of our lib
eral and benefcent old mother, who is still
grand amid her desolation and her oppres-
sion. There are near two hundred visitors,
it is said, at the White Sulphur, forty
to fifty at the Hot, which has had a
fine season under the management of that
prince of landlords Jim McClung alias
Uncle Jim," as he is now called by his
friends who are even much older because
of his snoW-white locks. The enterprising
company are truly fortunate in procuring
the services of one of the most indefatiga-
BILE, kind, polite, and attentive managers
ever known to the public. The improve
ments, too, suggested and made by him are
admirably adapted to the comfort and
pleasure of the numerous poor cripples and
invalids seeking relief at this noted water
ing-place, especially the arrangement in
the varied baths, which are SO notorious
for the relief they have afforded to
the suffering rheumatic and neuralgia
patients all over the country. Other
new improvements, in the way of q
fine hotel, are being projected, and the
worldwide reputation Of the Hot will
more than fill them all. There are some
twenty or thirty at the Warm, which is
also noted for it's admirable baths, and fifty
or more at the Healing. There are $50 at
the Rockbridge Alum, which is now, per-
haps, the largest crowd in the mountains,
returning, many Of them, from the White
and the contiguous watering places. Visi-
tors will remain longer at the Rock bridge
Alum than, perhaps, at any of the other
springs. They have had, learn, very
fine season. All are aware of the recent
sale of this valuable property, and of
course will regret the separation and loss
of it's old and chief manager, William
Frazier, Esq. No doubt the purchaser,
Mr.. James Frazier, one Of the joint owners
with his uncle, will maintain the reputa-
ton of this valuable health-giving foun-
tain, and do all in his power to please the
invalid as well as the pleasure-seeking

PETERSBURG, September IL, 1868.


The weather for several days has been
very oppressive, and persons returning
from the mountains cannot but feel the rays
of this September sun even more sensibly
than those who remained ut home to bear
the heat and burden of the day. Thus far
our population has been ynore exempt from
autumnal diseases than was anticipated.
Fever and ague prevails to only limited
extent, and cases of remitlent fever are
very rare.
According to the best estimate which has
been made, the quantity of wheat brought
to this market since the lst of July IL 81 600
bushels, being on an average about 900
bushels day. Though this falls far short
of the Richmond receipts, yet when it is
considered that ours is less of farming
than planting district, and that the crop,
moreover, was a very light one everywhere,
our millers have no reason to feel disap-
pointed. In fact, the market has been ra-
Their glutted with all except the better
grades, which, being only small proper
ton of the crop, still bear good prices, and
will not probably fall materially below the
present figures.
A feature in our tobacco market now is
that the primings" of the new crop are
coming in, and sell readily at from So 80 to
$3.50; some have sold as high as 1918.
At San Marine, in Dinwiddie county, a
coal-black negro named William Starke,
and who can neither read nor write, has
actually received the appointment OF post
master. The Office is at q small country
store, and has only been kept up for the pur-
pose of attracting custom. 1t appears that
the late incumbent sold out to two young
men and moved away, thus leaving the
Office vacant. AS no better person could be
found to take it, they obtained the place
for Starke but it is said that the neigh
bors protest against it, and will make repre-
sensations to the Department to secure his
dismissal.
In looking over the lists of advertised
letters in the Richmond and Petersburg
papers one cannot but be struck at the
remarkable discrepancy between the num-
bers uncalled for in cur respective cities.
If they furnish any indication of the COM
paratiys amount of correspondence Of the
two places it might be inferred that the.
people of this enterprising city are but
little given to communicating with their
friends through the mails. Taking up the
papers Of this morning, for instance, | lind
that our postmaster gives list of exactly
sixty letters, while the list Of the Rich
mond Office amounts to more than eight
hundred Even in the village of Manches-
ter the number is more than hundred.
As Richmond is not believed to be fifteen
times larger than Petersburg, nor Manches-
ter twice as large, the only rational solution
of the problem that / can think Of is that
over on the James every person waits to
ace his Tor herr name in the paper before
going or sending for their mails. 1t may
save many fruitless errands to delay making
