The intention you exhibit to cater for the various tastes of your hundred thousand reud- ers, in the publication of letters from divers watering places, emboldens me to ask for 8 small share of your valuable space in behalf of this Southeru Spa. The access to the Springs is easy, and the fifty miles between here and Washington is travelled over in five hours, seven miles steamboat, and balance, save a few miles, by rail; fare, $2 75. The hotel at the spring is located in a beautiful conntry, with the Rappahannock running through the plantation, and the Blue Ridge visible in the distance. The estate consists of 1,700 acres of land, some of it, especially ou the river bottom, very rich. There is one field of corn near the house, of two hundred acres, from which the yield will be nearly sixty bushels to the acre.

Ina semicircular form, on either side | of the hotel, are a number of brick cottages, or cabins as they are called; these are usually oc- eupied by families, and are isolated and inde- pendent. Opposite the main hotel, the street passing between, is a four story building, con- taining the ber and billiard room, and being occupied by young men, is called “Rowdy Hal);” there is, in another direction, a separate | buitding for gentlemen without ladies, called | “Bachelor Hall.” The capacity for accommo- | dation is sufficient for five hundred with com- | fort.

On looking over your last Sunday's paper, I was surprised by not seeing an account of this romantic spet—much more so than many of your correspondents are aware of. We receive the Henatp here daily, and the rush is so great that in many cases it is really dangerous to under- take the purchase of one; but after much noise and loud talking I was able to get one. The Neptune House is situated on an island border- ing on Long Island Sound, almost directly op- | posite Glen Cove. It is within two hours’ ride, by the New Haven cars or boat, of the City Hall, and is kept by that popular, agreeable and polite host, Captain Curtis Peck, so long known as one of the favorites of the Hudson. We havea regatta every Saturday, at the head of which stands the name of Arthur T. J-——+, who, by the bye, is a great favorite with the ladies. Among the beauty of the place I can mention the winning Miss H——+t and her city neighbor, the pretty and fascinating Miss B. y, who always has an answer for every uestion, and is quite a favorite at the house. We also have the interesting Miss H——n, who is continually surrounded by a host of admirers, each vieing to out-do the other. The Misses C-——s are also very pleasing company. The lively Ella, of Twenty-third strect. is here, and is much admired. ‘The pretty Miss M——r must not be forgotten, for she is decidedly a very interesting younglady. There are many ® on the very head | | | opinions re; jing who is the belle of the house. Every peeuraay Srening. we have a hop, with Monck’s band discoursing the sweetest kind of music. The evenings during the week are by no means dull, for the dashy Mrs. Walter J—=s gives us some of the sweetest songs. We are also favored, almost nightly, with a visit from the lively Miss G——r, aleo the pretty Misses H——s, from the vi . We we howling, fishing, Lager gunning, sailing, and in fact everything the heart can wish for. The report about fever and agne being here is false, and I (who have been for three summers at this place,) can most positively say that a case never happened at the Neptnne. Rep Rover.
