From the variety springs.

VARIETY SPRINGS. VA. August %, 1879.
Editors Dispatch: There are about one
hundred visitors here, hailiDg from New
York, Baltimore, Norfolk, Richmond. Pc
tersburg, 'Staunton, Charlottesville, North
Carolins, aud Mississippi. Most of them are
spending the season and from the charming
sociablity that prevails one must conclude
that there will be universal regret when the
time comes to separate.
Surely there cannot be found in all the
mountains Of Virgins so pure and delicious
climate as that enjoyed here. 1t may
not be generally known that the situa-
ton of these springs is higher than
that OF any other watering place 10
the State. They are within two miles
Of the summit, which is the high
river as the railroad runs. Engineers tell us
that the floor Of the main building at Variety
is on level with the Blue Ridge mountaiDs
at Rockfish Gap. Clear away the noun.

Yesterday a large party visited Eliotts
Knob in wagon Ora wn by four horses. The
day was fine the scene sublime beyond de-
scription. There lay the Valley Of Virginia,
which the eye could sweep for sixty miles.
Away to the wtst stood those grim
sentinels the Peaks Of Otter. > In the vast
panorama Lexington, Staunton, Harrison
burg. and other towns looked about as big as
the Daily Dispatch. Our guide, hr. Bur-
russ, pointed out fifteen counties within the
range of our vision. How small man feels
amid such scenes as thisi As the party re-
turned they fell upon a rainbow asleep on
the mountain. It looked wider than Broad
street in Richmond, with every color plainly
defined in all its gorgeous beauty. Even our
guide, who had often made this trip, re-
marked that he had never witnessed such
scene as that before. REDMOND.

g,
;, Augusta. August 23..- Several prominent
negroes connected with the troubles il the
counties below here have made confessions.
Jake Mooremau, first lieutenant OF the
negro company, confessed on oath that
nineteen counties were to be embraced

white men and ugly white women were
to be killed, the pretty white women
were to be spared, and the land and spoils
were to be divided among the negroes. All
who have so far confessed testify substan.
TALLY the same as Jake Mooreman.
Governor Smith arrived here this after.
noon from Waynesboro'. He is determined
to preserve peace, enforce the laws, and do
justice to whites and blacks. .,
Governor Smith was serenaded tonight,
and made a speech. to large concourse OF
people, in the course of which be said there
had been serious cause for apprehension OF
insurrection in the disturbed counties, but
owing to the timely and prudent action of
the whites all danger.hsd passed. ,.g....
The great mass Of the coloredr people
really knew nothing of the gravity and dan.
ger of the plot into which they were being
led by a few bad negroes. He counselled
prudence and forbearance.
He will offer reward Of $500 for General
Morris, the leader in the recent troubles.
