and soldiers cheering c0lors nying, the darSey
servants silent spectators; but the weather
was damp, and the enthusiasm was not ''un-
bounded" The veteran ex-C0nfederates, in their
bran new uniforms, stacked arms, swigged whs-

regular military order, and this done the weary

boarded and fenced up his 'cOncernn against the

only about 800 yards, but the fence necessilatcs

now. and the mail closes soon.
Having now visited or touched at some eight or
nine Of the virginia watering places, and having
ascertalned. as nearly as possible, the number OF
visitors at each, submit the following table,
which gives the published capacity OF the springs.
as well as the estimated number present at this,
the climax OF the season. 1t will be recollected
that they were all crowded, as am told, at this
