Guymxwen—I have the honor to acknowledge the re- ceipt of your letter of the 1th, in which you are pleased to ask my views on one of the most important questions ‘that can be piesented to the consideration of an Ameri- an statesman; but in regarding me as the representative Of the great conservative element of the opposition party in this country, in connection with the next Presidency, you attach to my position a degree of importance which, perbaps, it is not entitled to occupy. ‘The questions propounded to me involve the transcen- Gently important consideration of the relative and reci- Procal duties of the citizen to his government, and of the government to the citizen; than which, no higher, more interesting or important question could have been sug- gested. "I shall, neverthelces, not shrink from the delicate Yesponsibility you have imposed upon me, but proceed frapkly and without reserve to answer your interrogato- ries to the best of my judgment and capacity. When I first read the letter of the of State, ome ten days since, I was infinitely surprised that a doc. trine eo full of injustice and outrage ,as it appeared to me) should now for the first time, as far as fam ad- ‘vised, be put forth by the representative men of that Party which bas heretofore habitually boasted of being the only friencs to the foreigner who seeks a shelter on our sbores; and I have been still more surprised to find that a doctriae so full of novelty and error should not have been more generally repudiated by the public press ; and I have been even still more astonished that of the great number of _politi- Giang god statesmen who have always relied upon ‘and received the ald of this foreign element, so much courted and carcosed about the time of a popular election, Bot one should have stepved forward to defend and pro: tect ine rights of their fellow citizens, to whom they owe wo heavy aweight of obligation and gratitude for the Places of digtinction that they bold by the suffrages and Bupport of the naturalized voters of the country, I do oot regret, therefore, that through the kindness and con_- ‘dence implied by ‘your letter the opportunity has been go unexpectediy ailorded mo—who owe nothing to that foreign elemeut of which I have spoken, sad before which, ‘ge one of the American organization, I have been held up a8 an inveterate enemy to all foreigners—of becoming an early and earnest advovate, defender and vindicaton of a reat and eternal principle of justice and of truth. By the constitution of the United States it is declared that “Congress shall have power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization’’-—that is to say, Congress shall have power to pags such laws as will, wader the conditions pre- Bcribed, confer upon persone born beyond the limits of the United States all the rights aud privueges of natural born citizens, or those born within the limits of the Unit- @d States, except euch as by the constitution they are ex: ly exciuded from. In pursuance of this authority rees has passed laws of nataralization, without re- gard to the usages, regulations or requirements of other governments from which thogo claiming the benefits of Daturalization have expatriated themselves, and without Teference to any international law on the suubject; and under these laws there are several hundred thousand persons of foreign birth who have, upon the in- Vitation of our government, renounced all all giance to their native «ourtriee and to al Otber foreign princes, potentates, States or sovereignties whatever, and having taken the vath of fidelity and alle- nce to the Tag Sag, they have been admitted into American 8 adopted citizens; have subjected themselves to the performance of military service in time of war; aro liab!2 to be caiied upon to sacrifice their time, ©onveniencs, comort, Lealth and estate, to neglect their families and business, to hazard limb and life in protect- ing the const’ution and fleg of the country at homo and ‘abroad, on t/.2 hich soas or in ‘ae enemies’ country; aud Dow, for the firs: time, the monstrous doctrine has been ‘annourcec frum the highest authority known to our con- Btitution and laws, tbat there is no reciprocity in this compact; that the obligations and sacrifices are entirely on the part of the foreigner, and that the governmcat will afford him protection only whilst he remains upon Ameri- can soi], where ho stands in no need of ite protection, and where the laws would have furnished ample protection to his person without necessity for the renunciation of the Jand of his nativity. But when he gocs abroad, even at the call of bis government in defence of its honor, or its rights, he is liable, if captured, to be held and punished ‘us a felon and a traitor, and not as a — of war, on the ground that he owes a higher obligation of allegiance and service to his native country than to that of his adop- tion, and that the framers of our constitution and the makers of our laws have been guilty of tho gross and stupid absurdity of maintaining that we can legitimately, consistently and intelligioly recognise the renunciation of allegiance, and the obligation to observe it at the same moment of time. BiHow ia it possible for any man to bring his mind to tho Conciusion it ie the policy of this governmert to re- quire a foreigner, upon , to renounce an allegiance that it knows and scknowledgee to continue in existence, and that it bas no wil! or power to resist, and woen by the oath atministere:! they not only renounce allegiance to all other Powers, but are ey, required to renounce allegiance to those governments of which they were former subjects. If this be the true construction of our Inws of ‘aturalization, then the sooner there laws are ro- pealed the better for all partios, and especially for the foreigner; and those who have become entangled in its intricacies by renouncing all claims to the pro. fection of ono government, without acquiring right | to the protection of another, are, upon the ground of fraud, entitled to a general release from the obligations ‘they have assumed, as the laws themselves would prove to be ly what democracy is, and haa of late years preciael Soe ‘© be—a sham and imposition, a deluston and a cheat, ‘We all know that the European governments generally deny tho right of expatriation, om know at the same time that this government bus never zed the tyran- saical and derpotic assumption, and has therefore thrown ‘wido opon its ports, and frociy extended ite arms 'n gen- erous invitation to the people of ail countries to leave their native homes and come among us, and avail :hemselves of tho blessings of (roe government; and if we had over ac- Anowledged the claims and pretensions of empotio rulers ‘0 bind apd chain down the will of their gubjecis after they had passed beyond their jurisdiction, then we should Ihave been without excuse or Justification tn offering the Benefits of naturalization to any, and it is precisely be- oause we refused to recogn'se sch absurd demansa that our naturalization laws have been enrolled upon our eta. tute books. When a forsigner has complied with the provisions of our Jaws, and taken out his naaralization papers, which emphatically deciare him to be “@ citizen of tho United Staves of America,’ bo ts ag much eutitied to the protec. tion of this ere ‘ument as if he bad been born upon Ame- Tican foil and within tne territory and jurisdiction of the United States; there is no such thing known to or contom- piated ciluer by the constitution or Iaw as a halfway mace ‘citizen—a mere political machine for helping certain par- posed a | sdghod To then beiug oast off as so much ‘wood on the shore, euch as tho letter of the Secretary of State would make them. ‘They are eithor citizens or they are not citizens.

But if they are still citizens or subjects of France, Great Brnain, Austria, Prussia, Italy, Spain, Mexico or other loreigh Sta e6, owing allegiance aud service to the Powers: of their respective oativities, how ean they be citizens, owing allegiance and service to our government? No @ God and Mammon at the same time, and They are not only granted passports to loave their own bomes, with the full knowledge and consent (in thousands Of instances) of their own governments that they have no inteptien of reiurning, but in maay cases they are encou- raged to come; facilities are alforded them, or they are sent amongst us 48 @ portion of a redundant population for whom they can find no employment, und of whom they ure giad to rid themselves; and would it not be a monstrous proposition, that after they have become Ame. rican citizens, and bave improved their condition, and their business engagements should take them abroad, or they should derire to make a last visit to their fatherland, ‘they should be liable to be seized upon and forsed into ‘the ranks of the English, Freneh, Austrian or Prussian armies for five years’ military service? And if this ser- vice is due, and is recognized by our.own government az due, why have they not a right to seize upon them wherever they may be found/—for, if the debt is still binding, there ts neither justice nor morality in aa attempt on our part to deprive these governments of what they are justiy entitled to. If there is apother government on earth that disciaims the rigbt to protect jis own citizens ina foreiga jand, T have yet to hear of the dishonoring apd disgrace- ful acknowledgment. may be, a8 it seems It, is, the doctrine of the iexders of the democratic party, but ‘it is not the gentiment of the American people, and it is not the sentiment of-that much abused American party which hes been especiaily beid up by the democracy as the enc- my of foreigners in every axpect. They may think it ju- dicious and wise to restrain to gome extent the tv free extension of citizenabip to all who may ber seek our shores, but they bave nowhere nor at any time proposed, nor wii they pow countenance, the idea that any of ou adopted citizens shail be deprived of any ons of the righus they may alreacy have acquired, They have a perfect right, as all others have, in casting their individual votes in the selection of their Wwatives, to express a pre- ference for whom, or whi er party they please; but ‘they have never pretended to claim for themselves any degree of prowection from their government that they do not fully accord to the adopted citizens. How many of this class of our citizens may at this mo- ment be travelling or sojourning in Europe, having left their families, their business and fortunes at home, either on @ visit to their friends or on a tour of pieasure, or for the of their ordinary porsuits, who may under this most extraordinary declaration of our government, that it may be dono with impunity, be dragged into the war bow raging in Europe, is a question that must interest anc startle mation, and calls for a prowpt and unequivocal repudiation of @ sentiment tuat, with all persona! respect for the venerable Secretary, I must od would go far to estan- lish » pusiliapimous and detestable doctrine, unworthy of the American character, .nworthy of the American peo- ple, and especially unwortby of this great and powerful government—a doctrine which in principle involves a Sal era, of all that was contended for in the war Who that recollects how a demvcratic administration displayed its valor at Greytown, who that is familiar with the late demonstration sgainst Paraguay, whe that has not forgotten with what indomitable energy Mexico was pur- sued, and who that understands the eager and impatient anxiety with which tnit administration now awaits a pre- text for ‘pitching into’”’ Cuba, will believe for a moment that auch a surrender of a great principle, that has been held sacred from the formation of our constitution, would have been made to one of these weak and feeble Powers, that have no means of redressing a wrong? And why sbould it be mad» to France or apy other Power on La globe, or cx ali abet Protess to be a man of peace, as long a8 peace can be maintained with honor, but lam for war when the neces- sity arises, without stopping to weigh or measure the sizo or strength of the adversary; and the more powerful that adversary may be, the lese would I be disposea to yield. My views on this question may be thus summed up. bloc one plants tet a ie teed of the merican eazie, which he is pl and sworn to support and defeni—when he enrolls his name upon the ope folds of the stars and stri of this great American Union; he is tree to go wherever the winds and waves may carry him; the eyo of that eagle watches over his every stop, that flag waves proudly over his head, whether he ig upon land or upon water, in a palace or a dungeon; and the Power that dares to faterfore with his personal liberty, whilat he is engaged in lawful enterprise, and not offending sgainst the criminal or penal code of that Power, dishonors that eagle, aud disgraces that flag to which he appeals for his deliverance, if it does not afford him prompt relief and redress, 1 have thus, gentlemen, without confining myseif to the particular form in which’ your questions are put, grouped them ajl ip one, and have shown that I am utterly and irreconeilably opposed to the doctrine laid down by this administration aa the rule by which it is to be governod towards our adopted citizens—a doctrine that, until I read the letter of the Secretary, [ did not suppose there could ‘be found one man in this entire nation to assert, JOHN M.

I., June, 11, 1859. } James Gorvos’ Besyetr, Esq., Eprror or New York Heraup:— Sim—I have felt myself under obligations to you for frequently bringing me before the public in connection with my business, which you term oysters, F. R. & S.; which, however, should be gomewhat modified, inasmuch as I profess to furnish the very best confectionery, and to accommodate with board, in my well furnished house, a few select families, and supply dinners and game suppers to parties in my adjoining house. I say that I have felt myeelf under many obligations to you for having brought mo go often before tho pablic; bat I bad not expected to be under obligation to you for bringing me there as a candidate for the suffrages of my fellow citizens for the distinguished office of Vice Presi dent of my country; whict country, of course, I love above all others, as ‘‘my owa native land.’’ You will do me the justice to sey that the distinction was not sought by me, and that I had no reason for anticipating the same. I bave aimed to achieve sume name in my business; but I have never supposed that it would be advanced as a claim to the high oflice in question; of course I am not unaware of the fact, that oysters and good dinners, and game su pers, with a little champagno, have much io do President making, ay well ag in successful legisiation. Were I elected to that distinguished office, it would be but strengthening the claims of Virginia to the name of being the Mother of Presidents; for though bora in New York, and feeling ali of that pride which New Yorkors justly foel as such, yet I can my, in the language of o Virginian, that “the best blood Virginia courses through my veins.” Had I cherished any such hope—could 1—) would bave been filling your and a hundred other columns with letters defining my position d la a host, or I might be ona trip to Europe, but not baying done so, I cannot bo iy abet ks & candidate.

Important from Sonora, [From the N. O. Picayune, June 8.] The overland mail et San Antonia, Texas, the 2d inst., brings intelligence of a bloody battle recently foght at the village of Gorriletos, tn tho State of Chihuahua, Mex- ico, between the two parties now desolating that country, in which the liberais were victorious. “Several hundred”’ fare said to have been killed on each side. From Sovora and Sinaioa, the courier reports that Gen. Peequicra recently victorious at Mazatlan, had been elected Governor of the two States and thus formed the nucleus of a strong power in Western Mexico, which waa preparing to set up for itself. A large amount of money been sent toSan Frapcisco for the purchaso of arms. From this it would appear that still another clement of discord ig about to be introduced into this unbappy country. As to the opposing, or church party, the followers of Gandara, lately defeated in Sonora anc loa, it is that their property has been cont and ibe leaders gent into exile, Abouta hundred were taken out by the \nat steamer to San Francisco. Pesquiera was believed to be firmly established in power. The Condition of First Avenue, TO THE EDITOR OF THE HRRALD. Tho condition of First avonue, between Fourteenth and Seventeenth streets, is extremely loathsome, in con- Kequence of the utter negligence of the officer in charge of the district. It is evident that the cleaning of that section of Firat avenue located in the Eighteorith ward is chiefly excouted through the influcnce of somo of the political wire pullera of that section, or through some political clique, since tho fact is, that between Twenty-first and Seventeenth atrects, the location where the political wire Pullors resido, every attention is paid to their cleanliness and order, and between Seventeenth and Fourteenth streots ia a mage of filth and dirt suflicient to nurture dinease, pestilence and sickness.) By giving these fow remarks ingertion in your valuable. 1 you will be con- forrivg a favor one constant reader of the Hixaatn and ‘on the bitants of pyres the neighborhood whore the nuisance THE WATERING PLACES AND SUMMER RESORTS Great Resort Expected this Seasen—Varlety of our Climates—Vast Number of Milner: Springs which Cure all Diseases—Virgiala the State in whieh they Most Aboued—The Principal Springs, Watering Places and Summer Retreats on this Continent—The Seenery Equal to apy in the World, &e., &e. &o. ‘While war is raging in the beart of Europe, and threatens to extend to its remotest extremities, driving away the tourist and the invalid from the fashionable resorts of Italy, and probably soon from the Rbine and the watering places of Germany—from which many are already scared by the apprehension of “ coming events which cast their sbadows befo‘e”—here in the United States our watering Places and summier rerorts are opening in full blow, like the flowers of June. As toe European travel from this country—which in recent years has been immense—will be greatly diminished this*summer, on account of war and rumore of war, 4 great increase of visiters is expected ‘at the various points of attraction in North America ; and the result, perhaps, will be that, charmed with the beau tifui scenery of their native land, they will heaceforth see more of their own country and less of Europe. Here on this continent there is every variety of climate at the same time. In one place there is genial warmth, the roses are in bloom, and the fruits are matured ; while in anowner the winter frost is still in the earth, and the cold winds of March are biting. Those, therefore, who live at the South enjoy there in winter the sunshine of a Northern May or June, snd when the heat becomes excessive they can either ascend to their own mountains, or they can migrate by degrees to the North, like the birds of passage; and when the winter approaches they can go buck to the Sourh like the samo winged tribes. And those, too, whose Permanent abode is at the North, cou avoid the severity of its winter by going South, returnipg in summer to tho milder temperature of their native climate, perhaps to flit farther north, even to the White Mountains aud to Canada, to invigoraie their frames with still cooler breezes aud a more bracing air. The migration northward from the ex- treme South has already commenced, and even the deni- zens of the large cities of the Middle States are preparing to start for the watering } laces—Cape May, Loug Branch, and the rest. The newspapers, North and South, now teem with the advertisements of the hotels at the springs, the mountain retreats and the sea bathing establiznments. Every one of them is the most colightful spot on earth, and each 0 ool and refreshing. Every spring infallibly cures one disease, and some at least a soore. People “go on crutches, looking dismal, and come away on legs, with their faces wreathcd in smiles—go, with limbs atilfaned jnto pothooks aud hangers, and leave endowed with a good jointure—go like shadows, but do not wo depart. Magic and miraculous waters these, which, like the Pool of Bethesda, mentioned in the Gospel, heal all kinds of maladies—rheumatiem and dyepepsia, black bile and blue devils, yellow jaundice and white swelling, scarlet fever, spotted fever and fever of every color, hypochondria and bydrophobia, diarrhowa and diabetes, gout and ‘grog blos- soms,’’ with every iil that flesh is heir to, mental, moral and physical, Ju fact it must be people’s own fault that they ever die at ail with such sovereign remedies at hand, 80 many elixirs of life within their gragp. Either they do not drink deep enough of the spring, or they drink too much, or they drink it at an improper time, or they drink other potations which counteract the efficacy of its wa. ters, or finally they have selected the wrong spring—for what is wholcgome for one man is poigon for another. If patients only eclected the right waters, and complied with all the necessary conditions, they would become completely renovated every year; and if at last, wearied of life, they “‘shusiied off this mortal cou,” it would be at the nce of Methuselah, who no doubt drank copiously of some rulphur spring. In reference to the accommodations and the good fare ‘at theee various watering places, we.may as well bere state, once for all; that the coffee is neither whole nor in part chicory, but fine flavored Mocha, that the tea is the best of “young hyeon,’ that there is no rancid butter ever laid, that the wines are of the best brands, imported direct from Germany and Franco, that becfsteaks are al- ways cut thick, never underdone nor overdone, and never saturated with manufactured gravy. In fact, there are French cooks in every establishment, who do up everything brown. There are plenty of servants, all clean and neat, apd their attendance admirable. They never require to be bribed—particularly at Saratoga and Newport—to give you anything to eat before dinner is cold or the best dishes devoured, There is no snobbery, no pretension, no dissipation, no sherry cobblers in ladies bedrooms, no changing of dresses {ifty times a week, no ntrigues and no slanderous tales. On the part of the men there is neither chewing nor spitting ubout the place, and they do not become tipey and talk loud in the barrooms. And to crown ail, the charges, particularly at the “ firet class’’ hotels are extremely moderate, so let all set out at once for the Springs. The weather grows terribly warm. STATE OF VIRGINIA. ‘The State in which these wonderful waters most abound is Virginia, In ite picturesque mountains we have sul pbur #prings of various colors, Yellow sulphur, white sulphur (in various places,) black sulphur, white and black sulphur, gray sulphur, blue sulphur and red sulphur, with every hue of which brimstone is susceptible. There are hot springs and cold springs, sal springs and fresh springs, sweet springs and bitter eprings, and there is no end to the catalogue of springs of every taste and quality. Let us give a brief description of come of the most celebrated, The White Sulphur Springs (the real Simon Pure) are situated at the most central point, from which ail the other springs can bo visited in turn, so that if one does not cure, it is casy to shift to another. The favorite spa is on Howard’s Creek, in Greenbrier county, on the edge of the great Western valicy, and near the base of the Al- leghapy range of mountains, which tower in majestic grandeur on the north and east. This place, we are told has all the luxuries of a veritable “Castle of” Indoleuce,’? ‘and as an indication of its approximation to the Garden of Eden, one of the ranges of cottages connected with the cs- tablishment is appropriately called Paradise Row. If peo- ple could only manage to live there always they might never wish to get to heaven at all. kt wag once the favo- rite bunting | ae ofthe Shawnees, and they considered it as good as Paradise. “The White Sulphur Water,” we are told, ‘is an excellent alterative, and performs wonder- fel cures in many chronic complaints, not removable by medicine swallowed at home, It contains sulphurated ‘bydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen, suiphate, carbonate and muriate of lime, and sulphate of magnesia.” ‘This elysi- um of summer,” continues the glowing narrative, ‘is tac property of one individual, whose venerable silver locks, Placid and care-free countenance (all from drinking of the sulphur water), frenk and agreeable manmers, win the favorable regard of all who have the plea sure of making his acquaintance; and it is under the ma. nagement of a gentleman whe spares no to accom- modate his guests, andjsucceeds beyond hopo in m: four hundred people comfortable in quarters calc for half the number, The fascinations of the White Sul- phur are go many that you do not soon wish to leave them; and when you havo made up your mind that you are ready to go, it is no casy matter to get away, unless you have your own conveyance,” This last naive touch is aes alt , bs ‘om a correspondent we learn that the hotel opened onthe lstof June, Mr. Pitman, of the Astor louse.

Mr. Howard Daniols, architect and landscape gardoner, of New York, has boon at the White Sulphur Spring since lagt October, degigning and directing the improv smeats. Last year the new hotel was not completed till some time in July, and then was found to be very inconvenient ana unsatisfactory in many respects. Since then a sub- way, or under ground cart road, to the kitchen, has boen constructed, by which the provisions will be conveyed to, and the garbage removed from it, without being obaerved from the hotel, This sub-way is also the principal tho- roughfare for the servants. A fine Hee 2) in the Tuscan style, has been added to the centre of the north front; the principal entrance has been changed to the west end, which fas been re- modelled and fitted up with reception rooms, offices, &c. and a broad verandah added to the west and north front The exterior of the botel has received a light stone color, which has brought it into something like harmony witb the ‘various tints of nature surrounding it, A new anu spacious Durroom and restaurant has been fitted up. A large bath house, containing forty-four bath rooms and two reception rooms, &c., for ladies and gentlemen, bas been built, and @ large reservoirfor sulphur water is being constructed a few rods below the Suiphur Springs, for suppiying the same. ‘The two grentest imprevements in the inds are the lawns or gardens at the nerth and south fronta of the ho- tol—that at the north is intonded to be a magnificent ex- ample of the Eogligh style, when completed. A broad walk, four hundred fect in length, runs paraliel with the hotel, and provides a fine promenade for morning or even- ing. A broad, straight walk leads from the central port: co down the northern slope to the vailey, where a aite for @ fountain kas been located, and from which four walks radiate in different directions, Gther walksestarting from ‘the_ends of the hotel, croas the and load to the dif- ferent rows of cottages, tho S} |, &e. “When theao improvements are completed,” #ays an enthusiastic correspondent of tbe Green Brier ui completed in the style in which they are designed, to- gether with the PR ocncn td walks, drives and bridle paths that are designed to be extended year by yaar, de- Veloping all the dnest points in the region, it will certainly ‘be one of the grandest parks in the world, an? will in- clude all kinds of lan scenes, ranging from tho polished gardeos in tho English style to tho wildest and dest mountain scenery.

In Kentucky there are the White Sulphur Springs, near Litchfield, the Tar and Sulphur Springs, and the Tar and Breckenridge White Sulphur, the Fsculapia Springs, in Lewis county, White Sulphur and Chalybeate, the Lettonian Sulphur Springs, near Covington, the Drennon Springs (‘‘black and salt sulpbur’’), reached by steamboat from Louisville; the Poplar Mountain Springs, ‘famous for the beauty of the surrounding scenery,” and the Blue Lick Springs, a watering piace of high repute, the waters con- tatning soda, magnesia, and some seven or eight other chemicals iz combinations. But the most famous sum. mer resort in Kentucky is the Harrodsburg Springs, near Sait river, and about thirty miles below Lexington. This is the fashionable watering place of Kentucky, and some one has said, slanderously, that in the crowded scason of Jwy and Apgust it is “the grand field of tournament for ‘Western flirtation, and the gathering point for politicians out of harness.and for such weaithy Westerners and Southerners ag like to spend their money on the gide of the Allechanies that slopes towards home.”’ Of course no stranger will think of visting Kentucky without secing the Mammoth Cave, in Edmonson county, where Boil’s Hotel is the headquarters of tho visiters. Of all the won- dere in Kentucky, which Henry Clay once said was “the most famous State in the Union for fine women and {ine horses,” the Mammoth Cave, with its weird halls and chambers, is the most wonderful and magnificent, OHIO SPRINGS. The! Ohio White (Sulphur Springs are situated onthe Sciota river, in Delaware county, eighteen miles north ftom Columbus, the capital of Ohio. There arc five spriugs, four of which—the White Sulphur, the Chalybe- ate, the Magnesian and the Saline Chalybeate—cure almost everything, while the fifth is remarkable for the purity of the water. The White Sulphur is a beautiful Artesian fountain, springing 160 feet below the level of the Sciota. As to the ly beate Spring, the proprietor vouches that it is *‘a permanent tonic; its effecta upon broken down and debilitated constitutions have been not transient, out lasting, giving to the blood a new vitality, and to the per- #on new life and vigor.’’ Let all the rakes and debauchees of New York repair thither, and they will come back uew men. The opening of the house on the 9th, with;‘one thou- sand guests,” was a “splendid success,” That house wants no more for this season, TENNESSEE SPRINGS.

These waters are impregnated with eleven medicinee—Sulphate hydrogen, carbonic acid (free), carbonic acid (combined), sulphuric acid, silicic acid (sand or quartz in solution), protoxide of iren, chlorine, oxide of calcium, oxide of sodium, oxide of po- tassium, chloride of sodium.”’ Board by the month is only $20. Surely one gets enough of physic for his money here. Besides these valuable waters there are the Ber- sheba Springs, in Grundy county, where there are three kinds of sulphur water, and one well of cbalybeate and pure free stone; also the Montvale Springs, where there are several ‘new Gothic cottages” erected, and a cellar full of ice. an bath ae en be A cen bat “especially dyspepsia, chronic diarrhwa, dropay, clironic liver complaint, neuralgia, neryous headache, derange- ment of nervous system, chills and fevers.’’ Whoever oes to Tennessee must not forget to visit the Caves and founds and the Enchanted Rock, and the mysterious oid stone fort, on whose walls trees are growing whose age is supposed to exoeed five hundred years, THE SPRINGS OF GEORGIA. In the mountainous regions of Georgia there are numerous medicated springs and waterfalls. Among the latter the beautiful Falls of Toccoa, 186 feot, and the Cataracts of Tal- lulab are tho most noted. The Tallulah, rushes through an awful chaam in the Blue Ridge—the ravine is 1,000 feet deep and 1,000 feet wide, its walls boing gigantic cliffs of dari granite. The Indians appropriately called it the Terrora. ‘The proprietog of the McIntosh House at the Indian Spribgs, says, “the number of applipations is so great that he has cousented to open the house at once." The proprietors of the Madigon Springs assure the public that “it would bea waste of time” to compare their house with any ether in he Southern country—so decided and so weil known are ite advantages.

SOUTH CAROLINA. In South Carolina tbe Williameton Spring Hotel ‘‘cannot De surpassed at any watering place.” As to the medici- ‘nal qualities of the waters, all that is asked is to give them ‘a fair trial.” The proprietor of Glenn Springs Hotel made the follow. ig announcement on the 12th of June:—This establish- ment, having undergone complete repair, is now open for the reception of company. eo cabins attached have also put in fine order. Travellers can vow come to Unionville, sixteen roiles from the Springs, where stages and hacks wiil meet and bring them on. In July the cars will rup up to Jonesville, leaving but ten miles of waging.” Of the virtue of the waters a Columbia paper a ‘ves:—The mineral qualities of the water are well 10 ere are many ip every portion of the State who have tested ite healing properties.” ALABAMA. Even away in Alabama there are “ celebrated” springs, ‘tbe medical properties of the water being too woll known to need anything more than @ mere reference to them.” These are the Blacon Springs, which “cure dys. Pepsia without fai), chronic diarrhea, liver, stomach aud kidpey diseases, and are c#pecially valuable in curing many of the peculiar diseases of females, efficacious in rheumatism, and in eradicating mercurial and syphilitic symptoms.” Most precious waters! Before leaving Ala- ‘Dama let us note that the ‘ Point Clear Hotel,” eighieen miles from Mobile, is ‘* delightfully situated on the eastern shore of the bay, and is entirely open to the Gulf breeze.” NEW JERSEY—CAPE MAY, ETO. But more famous than this, and not quite so warm, is ‘the great watering piace of New Jersey—Oape May—situ ated on the extreme southern point of the State, where the Delaware Bay opens into the Atlantic. Here there is grand surf-bathing, and the Southerners and Pennsylva- nians throng to itin great numbers. Many go there by steamboat from New York. But for New Yorkers, Long Branch, aiso on the Jersey store, is more convenient and leas expensive ($8 to $10 per week) though not go aristo- cratic and recherche. A correspondent of a Freehold paper says tha! at Long Branch arrangements are being made for an excess above the usual number (4,000), and that he estimates the pro- bable number this seagon as 6,000—about equal to the Maximum of Cape May. The proprietor of the United States Hotel announces that “the house is pleasantiy situated on a floe bluff, with lawn in front.” It is for the firet time we learn that there are biuffs at Long Branch; ‘Dut the fact must be so, though we have never seem them nor beard of them before. Many Philadelphians visit Lovg Branch; but their favorite resort is mucb near- er—vamely, Atlantic City; which is also situated in New Jersey, and’is not far from Cape May. It has become a great rival of that watering piace, having the same kind of surf and more acceasibie, owing to the facility of the railroad. Then, about tbree miles from Atlantic City, between the bay and the ocean, the Brigan- tine House bas recently been established in a beautiful inlet. ‘‘The location cool and delightful, and the bathing at this point, is unexoeiled ‘anywhere; #0 says Hei # bathing at Sbrewsbury, this side of Long Branch, is of the same character.

In the wterior of New Jersey is announced the openiog of Lake Hopatcong House, near Drakesville, in Morris county; and Greenwood Lake, one-half of which is in New Jersey and the other haif in New York, is well known as a summer resort. It bout nine miles from Chester on the Erie Railroad. This lake, embowered in hilis, abounds with fish, and they are avout the beet food boarders get to eat in that quarter. Bot the people can manage to live on the scenery for a short time, and must Dot expect too much at places remote from civilization. Schooley’s Mountain, in New Jersey, is a very popular resort for New Yorkers. It hasa mineral spring, con- taining several ingredients. It is 1,100 feet above the sea. PENNSYLVANIA. Next to Virginia, Kentucky and Georgia, Pennsylvania is most celebrated for its mineral springs. Its mountain ranges, links of the Allegbay chain, runuing from south- ‘west to northeast, arc extremely beautif.l, picturesque and diversified, and if it cannot boast of lakes, it has charming rivers—the Susquebannna and its tributary, the Juniatay being among the fincst on this continent. The banks of the Delaware, in the upper part of itstcourse, present de- lightful and ever varying views ,and the oclebrated Water Gap on this river is an object of great attraction. But it is ‘the region of the Springs which draws most visiters, and were it not for the difficulty of getting there they would ‘be places of great enjoyment. There can be no better cure for dyspepsia than travelling on the stages of Western Pennsylvania—better than even the water of its springs, Toaccomplish twenty miles per day isa great feat among the mountains, and such shaking ond jolting human be- ings never experienced elsewhere on this terrestrial globe. Bedford Springs, the best of the waole, can only be reached after abundant exercise of this kiad. They are situated on an elevated spot, in @ narrow valley or defile surrounded by romantic mountains, and two hundred miles west of Philadelphia. The waters, we are assured, contain carbouic acid, magne- sia, sulphate of lime, muriavo of soda, carbonate of tron, hime, &¢.—useful iu chronic diseases, and possess laxa- tive and sudorific powers. An clegant hotel bas recently been erected on the spot for the accommodation of ¥ «i ters. This is the annual resort of Mr. Buchanan. In the advertisement about these Springs, A. G.

Why itis sucha place of regort nobody can tell; the charges ere from two to three dollars per day; the locaiity is fur froma cool, and the country is perhaps the most tame and uninteresting anywhere to be found.

Supreme Court—Special Term, Before Hon. Judge Rooeevelt. A CURIOUS CASE OF DOMESTIC INFELICITY. June 15.—Doe vs. Doe.—The following decision was ren- dored by Judgo Roosevelt:—The plaintitf, a widow, recent- jy married the second time, having commenced a suit for separation, applic fer an order directing her hasband to furnish her with the necessary means for earrying it on. As the granting of such application is not a matter of course in ail cases, the Court, when they are presented, is calied upon, provisionally at least, to look into the whole merits of the controversy. These at present can only be judged of by the affidavits, which in some res; are ex- ceedingly contradictory, but in others are gufliciently har- monious to enable the Court to decide the motion. ‘Thera is no dispute that the parties when they married had both arrived at years of discretion, the one beiag a widow of forty-eight, and the other a widower of turee score; that they were both sorely disappointed in their respective an- Yicipations, that they flew apart almost as soon as they came together, and that a suit of separation was the premature and first born fruit of their union. The groom, although a doctor, was a fecble invalid, neoding and seeking for a nurse to his declining years; the bride, although strong, robust and powerful, had an. inclination, it may be inferred, to live asa lady on the $60,000 and more, of which she was “informed and be lieved’? ber intendent was ‘‘the owner.” They aecord- ingly got married on the 10th day of the new year; and nice than a week thelr mutual delusions—his, certainly— were most unbappily and thoroughiy dissipated. No ac- tual outbreak, however, occured till the 2é:h ef January. On the night of that day, according to her statement, the boneymoon being only baif over, he commenced while in bed to deliver himself ofa certain lecture on the undua consumption of cos! and candies in a style of vituperation, the precise language of which she professes to quote, and with tones and gesiures creating in her fear of great bodily harm. This scene, according to her account, was foilowed by deny s> others of « like character, until plain- tiff, with her daughter, a up young lady of over twenty-one years, left, the defendant's house. It is to ba observed that the defendant denies under oath all tha charges made against him, and on the other hand, accuses his newly married bride of a faultfinding, noisy and turbulent disposition, aud an utter neglect of her do- mestic duties; tearing his hair. punching his sides with her fists, and toreatening to beat his brains out with lamp. He ascetbes much of her alleged ilt- humor to the unexpected discovery that instead of $60,000, as in ber fond dreams she be was worth, apart from his profession, Ris property. turned out not to exceed $5,000— falling off in her counubial mie well calculated to dis- turb the serenity of a widow of forty eight. As, however, she does not allege that the defendant in this matter ever doesived her, the disappointment furnished no ground of complaint inethim. Ona view of all the affidavits on doth sides, think it 1s obvious that there are mutual faults, and that the probabilities are that the defendant may suoceed on the trial in cetablishing a quasi r- claim against the plaintiff sufficignt—and rhafingnore than sufficient—to balance the aceount of its difficulties between them. It would be unjust, therefore, at this Shae iene sacs eee eee ni or ly a8 laintif’ is ahown to bave Trecaretly deciared that sha sufficient property of her own derived from a jormer husband.
