every citizen, be he Northern OF
Southern, to celebrate 1t. With
it is connected Washington, JEFF
ferson, Franklin, Green, Morgan.
Marion and Sumpter; Lexington:
Bunker Hill, Saratoga, Eutaw
and Cowpens. 1t belongs to the
South as we'll as the North. 1t
belongs to the Rcpublic-to the
American nation-to all who love
the liberties Of the people, defined
and recognized in the constitution.
; 1t is national holiday. 1t is q
! political sabbath Of Freedom. We,
the Southern people: used to cele-
bratc it with banners, barbecucs,
patriotic speeches, and why should
we not again ? aye,
''In the long yista of the years to roll,
Let me no: see my countrys honor fade,
Oh let me see our land retain its SOUL
Her pride in freedom, and not freedoms
shade"
We arc now about to bid 'adios'
to Arkansas and the
hot SPRINGS,
and as we stand on the deck of
the ferry boat and look back, we
conscientiously say, that we firmly
believe, from what we have seen
and experienced ourselves, that
the waters Of these fountains are
decidedly beneficial in certain d.
seases. We have seen persons
come here, entirely helpless from
rheumatism, and in the course Of
three weeks be walking about by
the aid Of @ single stick. We have
seen others with loathing sores
become healed. Some become
healed in a short time, while in
the, case of others it requires a
longer time. Some come and go
without receiving any material
benefit. In many cases it is ow-
ing 10 the dissipated conduct Of
the parties. In some cases no
matter how close the sufferer may
adhere to the rules prescribed,
the waters fail. But we must re-
member that vulgar old adage,
"What fattens one will kill anoth-
cr." This is so with regard to
practitioners Of medicine, to medi-
cine and everything else. One
physician helps and restores a pa
ticnt. Another fails to do any
good. Allowances must be made.
Saeh is human nature and human
experience.
These waters we contend, will
not only help invalids laboring
under certain diseases, but will
prove beneficial to persons even
in seeming good health. A trip
here, combining the journey, air,
scenery, associates and bathing,
would relieve the system of effete
matter, that might in the end
prove deieterious. We do rot
| think That there is as much min
eral as the circulars cmanating
from here presume on. We are
satisfied that there are many
springs decidedly stronger, but
there is q certain electric, as
well as stimulating quality, con-
nected with other things, with
which the best and most scientific
Physicians here are not acquaint-
ed, and which they cannot define,
| We would not pretend to say
that they can rejuvenate
AGE WITH ITS INFIRMITIES
to youth with its vigor, strength
and energy. Many persons living
far away ION the principle that
COWS at a distance have long
horns" are disposed to imagine
and attribute to these fountains
the most wonderful qualities
Upon coming, perchancc, they
discover that they have been list
testify dreaming of 'lotos gratis
and on the other hand become as
violent dcfamers.
1t is evening, and the cry falls
upon the air Commercial House, >
"Peabody," &c. We have crossed
the Mississippi, and find ourself in
Memphis. We have turned ou1
course for Vicksburg, and anon
we find ourself transferred to the
steamer,

in number. She is a beautiful boat
fitted up in elegant style, having
fine berths, setting q splendid ia
bic. The clerk is accommodating
and the servants attentive. We
found on board many ladies ane
gentlemen, who were returning
home after the celebration Of the
4th. AS we steamed along down
far "deep' in the night, we were
very sundenly aroused bya

We thought the boat had rur
