spot-tDat region OF earthly blfss--the South
west OF Virg'nia--is regarded as ever with a
sincere admiration that This Is equalled by
the warm regard In which we hold i.s ex.

brethren Of the Southwestern us visit the
montgomery White, the Yellow Sulphur,
the Allegheny, &C., and fully renew the re-

afford us every facility for this agreeable in

establishment has been fitted upin liberal and
luxurious style. The advertisement of Mr.
CAMERON in the columns of the Dispatch is 50
fuliand descriptive that he leaves but little
room for this sketch. MIR. Cameron is plv-
prietor Of the Pulaski House in Savannah,
aud no man knows better how to appreciate
the comforts and delights Of the Virginia
mountains, and we may logically infer few
eau have as much zeal Ia commencing them
to others.
Alum waters have been brought to public
notice by their healing properties only with

OF one or two other varieties much esteemed

The Jordan Alum is reached in eight

there are fish in the neghboring waters, by
sending us falls fish. mere tlan foot long

dozen of the same sort. We know the fish
