Summer Resorts.

The weather is, with q temporary interval
OF "ethereal mildness," ardently impor-
tuning the community that possesses leisure
and means for indulging in pleasure to seek
the places prepared for public enjoyment
and recreation. We are gratified at the va
riety and excellence Of these places. They
are in greater number than formerly, and
present many grades Of costlincss aud Gus
tom, so that all who so to seek pleasure or
health can be suited. 1t is especially salot-
tarv that so many summer-places are now
omen to families at moderate rates-placcs
where children may romp in the fields ana
groves and be away from the throngs OF
fashion and the scenes OF excitement which
do no good to the little creatures.
We published yesterday an extract from
the New York Times which fairly repre-
scnts the mineral waters Of Virginia, and
the grateful and healthy atmosphere and
grand scenery Of the Virginia mountains.
All invalids can find water to suit their re-
spective diseases, and the pleasure-seekers
localities to suit their tastes and gratify their
wishes. These waters and mountain-places
are central, and the people OF every section
will find among their visitors representa-
tivcs Of all sections. At the Virginia springs
delegates from all divisions of the nation
may assemble, aud under the genial infiu-
ences OF the locality cultivate reciprocal
ciyilities and sentiments which are grateful
to refined people and beneficial to the coun-
try, as they diminish the sentiments OF aliena-
ton and incucate the spirit OF harmony, so
essential to nationalp peace and prosperity.
We make running sketch of the adver-
tisements OF those places not before noticed
by us.
HEALING SPRINGs.-This summer resort,
only three miles from the Hot and eight
from the Warm Springs, in Bath county, is
great favorite with many sprngs-goers.
It was first introduced to public notice by
STEPHEN PORTER, one OF the best Of men,
and one of the most competent andobliging
of springs-managers. II Immediately rose
to distinction. The Healing water is pos
sessed OF peculiar virtues in rheumatism,
kidney affections, wounds and swcllings,
and other ailments. The place is unique
for its arborescent and pleasant arrange
ment Mr.. BISHOP, the manager, Is most
capable hotel-keeper, and his guests will not
want ior comfort and attention. For all
that ministers to the satisfaction OF the
traveller or invalid we can commend the
Healing Springs.
SWEET CHALYBEATE SPRINGs.-Thisw water
inp-Dlace is that so well known in former
days when owned and conducted by Mr.. F.
BIAS. 1t then fourished in the midst OF all
abundant land, with fine scenery, delightful
atmos phere, and most excellent water. 1t
was a charming resort. The war and It's
consequences have very much checkered its
fate: but these could not deprive it Of its
natural advantages. The water OF the Sweet
Chalyb beate is fine for many forms OF disease
and its baths amongst the most invigorating.
The present year this resort is under the
auspices Of Messrs. TINsLEY, & Co. Dir.
