deep SHOWS which covered tho grotind du-
ring the periods of excessively low winter
temperature gayo 1t ample protection. The
spring opened with abundant rains, contin-

or other insect plaques. The corn has gen-

Tho Little Rock Assembly Of tho
Presbyterian church appointed com.
mittccs to confer with similar CONF
mittccs from tho 1ioformcd church
aud tho Missouri Synod, respecting
the union of tho three bodies. It is.
therefore, uncxnggoratcd truth to
shy that tho proposed triple union Is
regarded with great favor-with very
great favor-in tho Southern Assem-
bly, aud Church, even as It is in our
own Synod. The difficulties In tho
way arc not Of the nature ofprinciplc
but simply of ex%pcdicncy, and are not
thought to be by amy means i%nsepara-
bio. There is agood reason to look
FOR tho speedy contamination Of this
deyoutly desired project.
Early In Tie sessions Of tho Assem-
|bly, there was offered q resolution,
concerning tho rcceptiNn anu fate Of
which people Ct q distance have a
very erroneous impression. "A mem
Der, from Virginia, without confer
|cnce with any one, moved that the
Assembly appoint o committee TO
meet q similar committee from the
Northern Assembly 10 consult re-
.spectins organic union. An adroitly
worded special telegram in the St.
Louis Democrat, gave tho ppblic to
understand that the resolution had
numerous supporters, who allowed
1t TO be laid OIL the table, with the
purpose of discussing it at a more op-
portune moment. But the facts arc,
that the resolution had no supporters:
rs soon as 1t ~ d3tercd, there ap-
pearcd signs of impaticnco and indig-
nant dissent; the mover was permit
ted to withdraw 1t it was not again
heard of or referred to ; and the au-
thor Of it acknowledged, with express
sions Of sorrow, that he had made o
great mistake.
Both on the floor of the Assembly
and in our private mingling with the
brethren, We heard but few illusions
to tho Northern Church, and they
were merely incidental aud always re-
spcctful. We are clearly of the opin-
luz VI tildI no COuSlueTaUIc NuiuDcT
i'll the Southern Church desire union
with tho Northern Assembly OF
dream that it is at all practicable; but

and a general consent that fraternal

FROM BROWNSVILLE.

To the Editors of the Intelligencer !:
All of the readers of the lNrELLI-
GENcER have heard of the famous
"Sweet Springs" the waters of which
have been, ever since their discovery,
free to everybody, without the least
restriction. Many have found relief
in their use, and Brownsville has an
ticipatcd much profit from the inGu-
ence Of strangers, but it appears that
we have in u midst strangers
who are determined to fill their peck
cts at the expense of III citizens and
~ofinvalids andplcasure-seekers from.a
distance. The present lessee is a new
conner, who, although he possesses
the Legal right TO manage his affairs
after his own mind, proposes to opc-
rate the Springs on q novel and sui
cidal plan.
The public are aware that the ac-
cOmmodatioEs at the Springs arc in
different, as well rs insufficient, and
are looked upon as temporary. These
cannot comfortably shelter moro than
s~cvcnty-iiyc guests at ono time, and
the lessee should be satisfied so long
rs every room is occupied. Yet
Brownsville wishes that hundreds
may sojourn here and use the good
wafer, and offers accommodations
for triple the number that can be pro-
vidcd for at the Springs Hotel. But
how are our citizens met by the les
see? The latter announces that he
Will not allow strangers, lodging
elsewhere than in the house, TO use
the water without paying a bonus.
The result will be. that, whea his no.
tel Is full those strangees. who wish
TO resort to tho Springs, and arc so
unfortunate as not to have arrived
earlier, must be burdcncd with
the payment Of three dollars cx-
ira Der week. Under these cir
cumstauCes, it will be imprudont
for and of your readers to pack their
trunks before writing to ascertain
whether or not ti.ey can be sheltered
Oh their arrival. Tho lessee of the
Springs charges his oea prices, and
sets his own table, while the public
must either submit to both, or add
three dollars per week to the cost OF
stopping in Il midst. In the to WIN
arc ample hotels, aud two omnibuseS
will be constantly running to and
from the trains to these and the
Springs. Now, who supposes for a
moment that q community will
quietly stand and allow its best in
forests to be tranplcd upon by any
ono individual, or set of persons ?
Brownsville will not allow its alec-
ton for any lessee of the Sweet
Springs to smother the natural desire
of defending self. Care!
