Correspondence OF tho Phenix.

GLENN SPRINGS, august Aot 1o'A'
DEAR PHGN1x: We would remind
your numerous readers in Columbia and
the up. country that the old Saratoga OF
the South, Glenn Springs, is still the
same old delightful place to spend q
month, or season, that it ever was. The
waters possess the same healing proper
ties as they did of yore, and invalids are
drinking in health and long life every
day. Many marvellous cures have been
effected by the use OF these waters, us
they appear to cure almost every com
plaint to which the human system is heir,
excepting consumption. The season will
not close for nearly two months yet, SO
there is ample time for the sick and the
afflicted to become strong and healthy
before winter comes. Let them puck up
at once and come here in preference to
going to fashionable resorts, whore thero
are no healing springs, and they will
have cause to rejoice forever after.
But this is q delightful place, not only
for invalids but for we'll people, also, ns
the hotel affords every Innocent amuse-
ment for their pastime and happiness.
What with one or two hops every week,
billiard md bagatello tnblos, bowling
alleys. croquet, music aud conversation,
the time passes away very pleasantly.
The proprietor, Mr. ". d. Fowler, is
striving to nuke all his guests comforta-
BILE. while his charges are quite mode
rate-scarcely exceeding 81 q day. Fami-
lies can be supplied with cottages where
they cnn keep house as cheuply ns at
home. if they desire to.
just whisper into tho ears of some of
your beautiful young lady readers the
fact that there is, Mt present. surplus
OF young gentlemen here. Several gay
and festive youths would be made happy
if a few more captivating bellies could be
added to the number already here. In
the Northern Watering places the number
of young ladies is largely in excess oi
the gentlemen. leaving many OF the
former without attendants. Here it is
not SO, and the ladies will be sure of 6
warm welcome. -
i The number of arrivals thus for, this
season, has been over 150-some coming
and some going all the time. There il
still room for many more.

tho nvnilube forces OF the United States

GEN. LoNasrREEr.- The Boston Tra-

soldiers OF the rebel army have long

their words, their acts and their votes,
given evidence of their adherence to the
Union and their satisfaction over the re-.
suits of the war. Prominent among
these is Gen. Longstreet, who has held
Office under the Government, with the
assent and approval OF many OF the
truest and best oe the supporters Of tho
Union during the war. But very few
rebels of lower rank have been placed in
Office by the General Government.

very few rebels Of lower rank aro, like
Gen. Longstreet. related to the Grant.

RESIGNATION OF THE Rev. W. P. DU-
BosE. In another column, we publish
the letter of resignation by the rector Of
Trinity Church, and the resolutions
which it has elected from the Parish.
The letter and the resolutions alike set
forth those considerations of duty which
have constrained equally minister and
people in acquieacing in very painful
separation, and in sacrificing personal
considerations to the good of the whole
church. Tho motives which prompted
the letter have been fully understood,
and duly appreciated, and find fitting
response in the tone and temper of the
resolutions. Minister and people alike
understand and appreciate each other,
and this consciousness will best make
amends for the pain of the separation.
We give up our young rector with the
assurance that duty to the church do
mands the sacrifice. and as his talents
will be employed in wider field, that
his labors Tor good will be moro abun-
dainty blessed.

eff he (tho negro) cannot, by this

him free and citizen, it is time they
formed against him and made him feel
his insignifcance.
So, the colored people of the South
will take due notice. The Radicals pa
tronize them only so long as they vote
the Radical ticket and help to put mean
white Radicals into office. When they
cease to do this, they are to be warred
