spring, which since il has become known has
been visited by numbers of ladies and gentle
men anxious to test is properties
Yesterday afternoon, Capt. Bell took out a
festive party, to make a critical analysis of the
waters, and one ofthereporterial fraternity to a
state the facts in the case The drive was a
pleasant one, and was highly enjoyed by all.
Arriving at Col. Craig residence, we found that
gentleman taking his case under the Shade of
one of the many trees that deck the lawn, tired
of politics and Willing away the time in perus-
ing the illusions Of Bill Arp. s.... .-.
The Colonel submitted to the infiction grace
fully and gave US cordial welcome, and on be-
ing told the object of the visitation, cautioned
lis against the danger of imbibing too freeley of
mineral waters without previously fortifying by
taking suthin' stronger. This was the approval
of the majority, and after disposing of quanti-
ty of Ice diluted with an amber colored fluid,
with sundry sprigs of mint, we started for the
healthful fountain
The spring is situated in thickly wooded
dell, romantically called the Lovers Retreat -
short distance from the house, on the side of a
rivulet, and when properly fixed up will be,
without doubt, fayorite place of resort. The
water is strongly iInpregnated with iron and IS
cool and pleasant to the taste A familiar look

Returning to the hospitable mansion after
witnessing a game. of croquet played by the
charming daughter and niece of our host in
which Col, Williams and Major Z. took band
aud proved apt scholars under the tutelage of
their fair preceptors, and partaking of refresh
mentS, we set out for the city enjoying a sight
OF the magnificent scenery of Lyons View,
spread out before us in all its beauty, and
reached home as the shades of evening tell,
having enjoyed pleasant afternoon.
But nevertheless we mean to conquer them
not merely to defeat but to conquer, to SUR
JUGATE them-and we shall do this the most
mercifully the more speedily we do il. BUT
WHEN THE REBELLIOUS TRAITORS
ARE OVERWHELMED IN THE FIELD,
AND SCATTERED LIKE LEAVES BE-
FORE AN ANGRY WIND, IT MUST NOT
BE TO RETURN TO PEACEFUL AND
COMMENTED HOMES. THEY MUST

We hold traitors responsible for the work
upon which they have precipitsted US, and we
warn them that they must abide the full penal
ty. The rebels of that State (Virginia)
and Maryland may not fatter themselves that
they can enter upon a war against the Govern
ment and attertcar return to quiet and peaceful
homes. They chooSe to playth part Of traitors,
and they must suffer the penalty. The corn

would be fitting reward to the brave fellows
who have gone to fight their country battles"
