Neptune uses a teleecope to see it. Visitera intending to view the White Mountains may reach them en the east by the Atlantic and St. Lawrence, and the St. Lawrence and Avantiv Rail- ways, which now form “one grand trunk rall- wsy” between the eities of Portland and Moutreal, a distance of over three hundred miles. By leaving Portland at seven o'clock A. M., you arrive at the station honee at Gorham, hy eleven o'clock; aud by leaving Montreal at seven o'clock, A. M., you arrive there by half-past three the same afiernoon; thence hy taking stage of seven miles, you arrive at the Glen House in the evening. Many additions have heen made to the Glen House daring the past year, and it is now espadte of ac ften, and only by | ins consnme the | erray @arselves, aud | commodating over three hundred guests, So great is the reeh of visiters to this favorite spot at the pre- fent reason, thet the rooms, ample as they are, are yet inenflieient fer the accommodation of all. f was wld that on one night last wee twenty-four p morning, a! Home @ eavakade of horses, mounted by meu women, and ebildren. The propric! have in use over thirty horses, for no other work then to ascend the mountain in the morning, and to descend in the sfternven, thas giving yidters a chance to dive at the “ Summit Howse.” The bridle iL i ‘on aseend the mountain is raid to levgth; but visiters after having passed over it are often very will'ng to bet on twice that number, so diffieu't is it to mount or return. Horses beiag herd to obtain, in consequence of their veing all engazed for days before hand, a number of gentlemen at times attempt the ascent on toot, but often repent of their undertaking, it being e four hours walk through mud and over rocks. Two gentlemen, one a Mr. Forsyth, of Piattsourg, Pa., commenced the asceut one afternoon this week, at three o'clock, and ar- rived at the ‘Summit House” in two hours and forty | minutes, which was said to be, by the proprietors, the shortert time on record. The fortunate parties made quite alarge note of it in the register book, | for the inspection of those who might atvempt the ascent on time. In the year 1852, Messrs. L. M. Rosebrook & Co. eommenced the undertaking of building a habitatioa op the summit of Mount Washington; to do which they were obliged to convey every thing (with the exception of granite,) tothe on she backs of horses ormen. It is built within Srenty feet of the highest peak of the mountain, and would have been p! upon its very summit, bad not the proprietors every reason to believe it would be destroyed before tlie next season; but the brave house withstood the blasts, ond this year there bas been an addition of twenty feet to its length, making it now sixty foet long, twenty feet wide, and about fifteen feet high. It is well divided in rooms, aud is capable of accom- modating some sixty guests. The view at sunrise, from the top of Mount Washington, is almost beyond description; at the present season, heavy fous will sometimes arise and cut off all view with theconutry below you, bat as a breeze arises the fozs and clouds soon reparate, and leave one of the finest views of mountain scenery that readily can be imagined. J weuld, in conclusion, adviee ali those visiting the mounteins not to fail remaining over night at the Summit House. There is also at this hense a powerfal telescope for the free use of visiters, and attentive pergons are ever ready to point out every- thing ef note and interest in the vicinity. J.D. One More from the White Monntains, Pemigewasser House, Puymouts, N. H., Augnst 16, 1453. \ A Feo Words about Plymouth—.A New Route for Niw Hampshire Pilgrims. Having spent some time at the above house, and spent it so very pleazantly, I am desirous of calling the attention of your many resders to the most de- lightfol spot in this State, where a person or family seeking a retired place and good mountain alr, may find it, and the beat route to be taken; and at the rame time to post up those of your friends who may ebance to visit the far famed I'rancoaia and White Mountains—the former distant twenty-four miles to beautiful river after which our worthy host has so well named his house, and which drive is accom- plished in four hours, arriving there et six o'clock P. M., after eating a flue dinner. The drives about here are not excelled hy those of our own State, and the econery immediately eround the house is such that you can dwell upoa it from “mom till dewy eve,” and, as the old song goes, never tire. The Pemigewaeset flows by the house, the shore, on either side thiekly lined with the stately em, and the scene altogether is one that wonld in- spire @ painter; and I know of no plavo where a family could be more retired or more at homo, than at the comfortable cuariees of the Pemigewasect. Now as to the route, both here and tothe mountains, (and Leer your readers, like me,) prefer all the steamboating they can get in preference to railway riding, we will take the large and commodlona steamer Knickerbocker, or Connocticat, at foot of Cortlandt street, for Nerwich, where wo take ster, Nashaa the shore of the beauti- » by the Indians termed fal Winnipisscogee Lal: “tho Smile of the Great Spirit” —arriving hore one o'clock, P.

Agreeably to the promize cop%ained in my former | Wwlier, I shall now proceed % give you “ 4 full, true, and particular account” of sll matters of interest which have transpired since I last a ldressed you. Never, during any past season, hey toere been avythivg like the immense influx of visiters which, for the last fortnight, have continued to pour in here; and though many have been obliged to return disap- pointed to the place whence they came, still, where those who have remained contrive to find accom node- tion is a matter of surprise, even with ak owledge that gentlemen sleep at night in the parlors of the yorious hotela, packed together like sandwiches for a” pie-nic excursion, Our first grand ball of the season tank place on the Sth mstant. The reality fell far short of the ex- pectations eagendered by the pomp and parade of its wanegers. This moy be attributed to trvo causes: Firetly, the spirit of exeluaiveneas on which it was coxucucted ; but the second cause, I admit, was one that could not be guarded agaiost—the unpropitious state of the wea'her. It rained and showered in- cesravtly during the day and night, and while the elements waged incessant war without, exclusive: nees bad sown the cecds of discord within; and such will ever be the case ina republican conn wl authority is usurped, aud in an enlightened and in- tellectual circle, where a coun erfeit aristoeracy, with manners the caricatare of a class who have no home jn our institutions, attempt to lord it over those who ave more sense end leas vanity than themselves. The storm, dovbtless, prevented mauy visiters from gracing the ball room; but the ladies of the house maustered in great force, and 1 do them but justice ia saying: thet I have never—imy experience of Paris included—in so small a party, seen so many pertees tions of toilette. Perhaps it would be well if I wero here to mention a few of the bright, particular stars that shove on that oceasion. Mrs. B——., of Brooklyn, admired by all for her enavity and amiability, locked exceedinzly haad- some ; her fice, tall, graceful fizure appeared % great sdvantege as she promenaded the room, leaning on the arm of her handsome husband. ‘and bliss gave more than boavty to her face” Truly they area distingué looking pair, aad appeared the very type of conjngal happiness. f The yay and fascinating Mrs. A——, of Philadel- phia, #68 only less attractive than her lovely dangh- r—the admired of al] admirers. Mrs. McC——, of New-York, looked charming, dressed with exqnizite taste; with her elegant and lady-hke carriage, sunny and siniling face, she ap- perred the perfect embodiment of a tuir daughter of ia in. The lovely Misses R——, of Williamsbarg, looked perc irresistible, aod were the acknowledged «eles of the roow; their simple but exquisite toilette Cieplayed to the utmost perfection their fairy-like forma, and the gracefal cace of their dancing excited universal admiration. Mirs L——, of New York, whore bright eyes were in themeelves sufficieut to attract a host of admirers, waa opother inatance of the exquisite taste cieplayed by the ladies in their costume. There were @ host of other beauties present, but to partico)arize them would vccupy too large a space in your valuable journal. Neither is our circle here deficient of those whose beauties of the mind make them ever attractive: Mrs. H——, of New York; Mies D- of Charleston; Mrs. D'l.——, Mrs. » Mrs. Ht A of PhilaJelphia; Mrs. C—-—, Mre.

A Hint to Invalids—Lack of. Hotel Accormmoda- tions— Long's Spring—Analysis of the Wat Se. Se. ‘These springs are now conneeted by railroad with Buffalo and Niagara Falls on the west, and with New York city on tho east; and these facilities of communication are extended by other connections, all over the United States. The visiters to the springs are consequently Increised and {uereasing, and additional accommodations, of a suitable charac. ter, are necessary to be provided. This season, al- ready many have had t2 leave on arrival, for want of house room; and of those who remained there were many whose stay was very Hmited, owing to | the very indifferent lodgings they were able to pro- cure. Visiters for ploasure, or merely for country recreation and retirement during the hot weather, can endure the privations of the place, 2nd make them cyen contribute to thelr aporta and pastimes by day and by night; but the poor, suffering invalids cannot do so; on the contrary, thelr miseries are in- creased, by the nolsy sports to which the healthy strangers have to resort #8 a pastime. The situation of the springs is yery eligible and easily reached from all quarters. It les in the valley of the Gene- see, about twenty miles back of Rochester, in the midst of a beantiful, fertile and well cultivated coun- try. The scenery is fine, and there is within reach a field for the angler. The visitors are from all quarters of the United States—Kast, West, North and South. There ere also some from Cuba, the West Indies, Honduras, Nova Scotia and New Bronswick. Canada supplies her portion, and owing to the contiguity of the springs to that province, the yearly number of visiters would greatly increase, provided there were adeqnate scoommodationa pro- pared, and a certainty of being accommodated on srrival. J raw last week, a larze family leaving the Knickerbocker Hotel, the morning after thelr arrival, remarking, “what folly it waa for people to leave their comfortable homes for such a place as this.” ‘The remark was called forth by the confused and in- hespitable appearance of cvérything sronnd them. It was the intention of this family to have remained sorne weeks if properly accommodated. Their case is not a solitary ope. ‘And there wore many who re- mained, alike rensitile of their discomforta; but, no yertheless, age of benefita from the use of’ the waters, On that secount, they made up their minds to suffer for a timo; but their fleet reliof was obtained by resorting to Dr. Long's and taking up their querters at Long's Spring. There cau be no doubt bet that there waters conld be made es popular a dace of resort a4 Serntoza, were the ascommoda- ions here of a suitable character. Ove senson would | be sufficient to prove the truth of this prediction. The vainable qualities of the waters are well known, and thousands in necd, desivons of availing themselves of from the cause oesigned. ‘The medicinal effects of the woters are only foirly | tested when they resort to Long's springs hut there ore few. in proportion, who come hither—the acoora- modationa lxing very limited—the Dictor, at pre- sont, being enobled ‘to mmodate only about rain his house.
