This venerable village, like German
tOvAg begins 10 assume an air Of un-
wOnted freshness. Both have been
rejuvenated. Cheap transportation rates
on the Memphis and Charleston road,
and communication tickets, have painted
the houses, decorated front yards and
gardens, and built pretty churches and
cottages in Germantown, even a. the
coming of General Wallace Of the WOOL
en- factory, of COleman's Springs, of the
narrOw-gauge railway and of the broad
gauge Uncle Tom have invested Raleigh
with charms and splendors never known
before. 1t is wonderful with what bound
less confidence the people here talk Of
the alternative properties of these
springs. The pool of Sloan wasn't a
circumstance. There were at least
FIVE HUNDRED ANGELS
who spent most of their lives, these peo-
pie believe, troubling the waters Of Cole
mans Springs. Everybody who dips
himself outside Of a gallon of the clear,
sparkling, bright water lives immortal.
There is no disease which is not cured
infalibly, and the sick and halt, and
blind andlame, fOTtwenty miles around,
regard these modest springs, bursting up
in a deep glen beneath the nights on
which Raleigh stands, as a special inter
position of Providence to spare the cOun-
Try the cost of doctors bills.
There is no denying the justice
of this common assertion Of the people.
An editor from your city came hither
twelve or fifteen days ago. He was
CHASTITY. His legs vibrated and ratified
beneath him when he walked. He was
almost gone up. A breath would have
transferred him to Paradise, as the
want of it was about to send him in
another direction. He was game, SO
was Uncle Tom. The dinners were
good, and the water, this marvellous
water, got the editors digestion-mills in
motion, and now he is absolutely re-
iuvenated, ascending and descending
the hills, with the facility of fifty years
before.
THE RAILWAY
The narrow.gauge viii soon be fin
ished-CObb is running the machine
and then Raleigh will outstrip, in wealth
and population, in schools, factories and
hotels, and in attractions, any interior
town in this vicinity. The people hard

and was only amazed by the countless
number of pretty girls, all about the
same age-sweet fifteen. Raleigh will
surely grow great, and its population
soon begin to multiply. If the little
road had been in operation, a midnight
train could have taken to Memphis last
night, in the midst of the splendOrs of
moonlight, not less than five hundred
happy youths of the city.
WORMS.
The worms have passed away LCole-
man says the springs are the country's
vermifuge1, doing little mischief; but
the locusts now sweep over the face of the
country. The ringing noise they make
is that of countless distant bells, whose
notes make a strange, wierd-like chime
sweeping through the long, deep forest
aisles-a wonderful choir, making Won
derful melody in the dense, wild woods,
beneath the Bonded heavens. The crops
are bad; the stand Of cotton worse,
and no seed to perfect it.
