attended the performance at the Acade-
my last night, and afterwards invited
him to Sanger Hall, where covers were
laid for about sixty. A larger number

have been present but for the incle-
meDcy Of the weather.

Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch,
ALLEGHANY SPRINGS,
September 5, 1856.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
season is so far advanced and so many
people have left, we still have . very
gay crowd. One Of the events OF the
season was the german last night. The
ladies all looked lovely in their hand
some ball-dresses, and the gentlemen
were in good spirits, and contributed
largely to the success Of the occasion.
One Of the most enjoyable pic-nics
of the season occurred on yesterday at
a place called Styles's Falls, about five
miles from the hotel. The party con-
sisted Of the following bellies and beaux:
Miss Tresdwell, Of Memphis, Tenn.
Miss Slaughter, Of Lynchburg, Va. /;
Miss Dorgsn, of Mobile, Ala. Miss
Addison, OF Richmond, Va; Miss
Simpson and Miss Dunlop, Of Macon,
Ga. Miss Smith, Of Rome, Ga. Miss
jackson, OF New Orleans, and Miss
Waddill, Of Yieksburg, Miss. /; Colonel
F. (. Green, Of Richmond, Va; Mr..
Randolph, Of Isle of Wight county,
Va; Mr.. Wake, of Baltimore Mr..
Charles Calhoun Mr.. John Salisbury,
OF Macon, ga. ; Mr.. G. y. Henneberry,
Of Norfolk, Va. Mr.. Smith, OF Mo-
bile ; Mr.. Johnston, Of New Orleans,
and Mr.. WillOughby, OF yicksburg.
Tho party was ably ckaperoned by
Mrs. Slaughter, Of LyDchburg, aided by
Mr.. j. b. 5. Lorton, Of Richmond, Va.
The members of the party expressed
themselves as having enjoyed the day
hugely, and we doubt not that the uni-
versal congenialisy and lovely scenery
combined went very largely to cause
such expressions. There we're several
photographs OF the party taken in diff
ferent positions by our amateur pho
togrspher, Mr.. Charles Calhoun, which
Will be treasured by their possessors as
mementOes OF the occasion.
There are many beautiful girls here
now, and among the bellies are the
Misses Jackson, ke,chum. Blanc. Sc.
John. Dunlop. Denegre, and Bicksoa.
The married ladies vie With each
other in their handsome appearance,
charming manners, and besuti al cos
tunes. Among the handsomest and
most popular are Mrs. MsConnico Of
New Orleans, Mrs. Barney Of Mobile,
MIS-. Bosher Of Richmond, Mrs. Dr..
Chslkley Of Richmond. Mrs. Dsvenport
of Richmond, and Mrs. Dobie OF Pc
tersburg, Va.
The weather is simply delightful at
present, and no one seems 20 care TO
change their present position for the
heat Of the cities.
