greater attitudes snd sublmer scenery, yet
none of their fashionable resorts can
furnish such heaIth.restoring and rejuye-
Mating waters az this place; and the tenn
peraiure will compare favornbiy Win any
of them throughout the regular season.
| Mauy persons from all parts OF The Unlteu
States have visited this place during TINS
summer, aud the register shows arrivals
| from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic
coast. and from New York TO New orleans,
which Is ample evidence OF their extenoea
fame.

THE LABORATORY OF NATURE
which Is too tenuous and delicate for any
known chemical test, and upon IL depends
the potential activities manifested by these
natural fountains.
The visitors here are noted for their So
cIabiity and freedom from restraint, aud all
adapt themselves 10 their own amusements,
whether croquet, teD-pins, backgammon,
walking, driving, dancing, or conversation
The waters stimulate the appetite, and are
very exhilarating. DR.. william +. CARING

physician here.
4 distinguished professor remarked to
the writer that as a remedy for the in1rmi-
ties and tastes OF enthusiastic and conVivlal
men there was nothing superior to the re-
storatiye properties OF Iithia water. It's
alkaline, tonic, and soothing diurelic quali'
ties, combined with its renOyaling powers

render it Incompsrably superior to all other
mineral waters in promoting sobriety. "
destroys TO great extent the desire for AL
cObolic stimuants.
The nomination OF Daniel, Barbour, and
Mckinney gives
GREAT SATISFACTION
| in this section OF the country. Those who
were disappointed in not getting their pre-
! ferences are so much pleased With the I'M
exceptionable platform and the high charac-
ter and distinguished ability OF the n0mi-
nees that they will give the ticket the most
enthusiastic support.
A drought Of unprecedented length has
prevailed IN this section. The yield OF
CORN AND TOBACCO
will be greatly diminished.
Colone, II. A. Barnes, Of Charlotte, told
me few days since that he had tobacco in
the field struck by lightning some years
ago, and at the time the land on which the
crop was growing was very productive, but
since the occurrence it, although literally
| fertilized, failed to produce crop OF any
kind.
Why can we not make spring wheat here
as well a. i'm the West? / ob,eTyed
farmer near here cutting some wheat on the
| 10th Of July, which he informed me was
seeded the 10th OF March, and that his
yield would be, Notwithstanding the dry
! spring, at least six or eight bushels per
acre. The land was OF average produc-
tive capacity, and no fertilizers were APP
piled. L. ID. D.
FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.
BUFFALO LrTHIA SPRINGS,
August 10, 1881.
Editors Dispatch; The drought which
ha, prevailed over so large an area OF the
" Sunny South" this summer has not left
us unscathed. IL il true that there have
been a few showers-two or three-but for
more than two months there hiss scarcely
been sufficient rain al any one time TO wet
The ground an inch deep. The pastures are
dry, and cows are failing In their milk I'M
less stal-fed. The corn and cOtton-crops
| will be largely reduced in consequence OF
the protracied dry spell, while the yield OF
tobacco will be shortened at The lowest cal
culatiOn one half. But while this is so, and
the streams are getting very lOw-so low
that many Of the mills through the country
have bad TO stop grinding for want OF
yater-the health-restOring water OF these
Springs runs as free and as full as ever.
There are not quite as mahy here as usu-
| ally come at this season, bu. there is still
goodly company, who are here quaffing the
medicinal waters from the fountain head.
| Many remarkable cures are reported as
resulting from their use, and Colonel Goode
IL in almost daily receipt OF testimonials
from those who have used them and been
cured, as also from the very highest medical
Authorlty-al attesting their value and
showing that the trademark Of the prOprie-
tor" Natures Msteria Medica lis not
missppled. And not only in this country
are their virtues altested 10, but their repu-
taton is extending ard stretching out
.eros. the ocean. A few weeks ago Colonel
Goods mSde a shipment to Munich, filing
an order received from that fsr-on city.
The company now here represent widely
separated portions Of our country. There
are visitors here from Arkansas, Missis-
sppi, Missouri, South Csroins, Georsia,
Alabsms, Lousirua, Illinois, New York,
! Indiana, Maryland. North Carolina, and
other States, almost every one Of whom is
here for health, being in some way affected
with disease for which these waters are
generally considered specnc.
The general impression OF those persons
with whom have conversed on the Sob
1ect is that the evidence furnished by the
| Lynchburg Convention OF the identity
of Mihonei.m and RepublIcanisn will
strengthen rather than weaken the Demo
cratic ticket.
