From the Allegheny Springs.

ALLEGHANy SPRINGS, Aug. 81, 1871.
Dear Dispatch: This quiet and delight
full place is still comfortably crowded with
a most social and fascinating assemblage.
We still have large number of generals,
governors, judges, &C., to add grace and
dignity to the company, and large numbers
of the most beautiful ladies to charm any
one who can appreciate female excellence
! The tare is considered very fue by every
one except dyspeptics and those unfortu-
uate persons who live badly at home and
wish to conceal the fact by complaining of
everything around them.
We also have very fine music from por-
! tion of Kesnich's band both on the lawn
and in the ballroom at night. Ii l could
tell the difference between calico and lawn,
| or grenadine and poplin, or pique and lin
en-, l would try to describe some of the ex-
quisite dresses but as only know about
these things from a periodic attack of dry
goods bill, will leave all such stuff to the
Jenkins That may do up the approaching
ball for you. .-... .'.-.. ...-.
Suffice it 10 say, there is an amazing
scarcity of clothing about certain parts Of
| the physique, and generous rivalry
among the sighting bellies for the champion
ship of the handsomest dress and the most
princeiy head-gear. Croquet, ten-pins,
cards, dancing, talking, eating, smoking,
SlreIlnS, anu reauinS, relieve III sweeping
of tho tedious hours Of the day, and fur
nsh rest TO the weary and worn, vino are
, here for recreation and health.
A party of us went up to Puncheon Run
fails last Friday for deer hunt. We spent
the night-mixed UP promiscuou>ly with
the family-at The cabin of an old hunter
who bears the euphoneous name of Levi
Funk, and has little son who has the
suitable name Of Peter Funk. BarriD z
feathers, and Josh Billings's special delight,
the bed-bug, we studied astronomy through
the cracks, and at sunrise started off for
the stands, with old Levi in the van
and four good hounds in rear. They
started In fen minutes a fine deer, and
for three-quarters of an hour ! never
heard more beautiful chase. But on
going down to one OF the stands, which
our party had left open, we found
that On outsider had stepped in and bagged
The game, and taken it away.
Yesterday was Sunday, and large and
attentive audience assembled in the ball
room for public worship, morning and
evening. In the morning we had sermon
from Presbyterian minister, Rev. Dir.
Hooper, Of Lynchburg, W., aud in The

THE CAPlToL.-A well-known gentleman
and lawyer in this city, having occasion TO
make some researches in the library of the
Capitol, had his attention arrested by some
interesting facts concerning the Capitol
building, and this led him to seek for others,
aid to prepare brief history OF it, which,
after being printed in the Old Dominion
Magazine, he has printed in pamphlet
form. 1t is narrative worth preserving.
The building of which it gives an account
is one Of the most interesting in the Union !;
the more especially as MIR. JEFFERSON in
duced the Government to adopt the rare
model. according to which, with some un-
fortunate deviations, it was built.

AN INTERESTING DEcIsIoN.--We print to-
day an article from a Wheeling paper con-
corning recent decision of the Court of
Appeals of West Virginia. which decision
will prove to be of interest in Virginia for
the reason that the Constitution of this
State contains provision similar to the
one in the Constitution of West Virginia,
which has thus received curial construc-
ton. Article X, section IL, Of the Consti-
tuition Of Virginia, requires that the votes
of majority of the " members elected y
to each House Of the General Assembly
shall be necessary to give validity to certain
laws. This provision, however, is con.
strued by the West Virginia Court of APP
peals to mean just what IL does not mean,
Tin our opinion.) The court in question is
rather lame tribunal, composed rs it is OF
such ten-shilhng lawyers as the loyaIists of
that little State could induce to accept Of
flee during the late war.

letter was received in Washington on
Monday, from Chief Justice Chase, now
absent in the West, in which it is stated
that his health has considerably improved
since bis trip in that section, although he is
yet very; feeble. He contemplates coming
East early in the fall.
If we had plenty Of money, could 20
barefooted in summer, had baby-carrlage
for our eldest, and free access to a water
melon patch, we should be middlins happy.
