Regitnentare requested to wear the usual e badge of mourning upon the left arm, and s upon the hilt of the sword on the day (28th inst.) of Regimental Parade and Review t, at the Old Wells. d By order of Col. G. D. Mias. o CHAS. A. AMEIGS, Adjutant. 0 For the Advertiser. 4 . In my first communication I submitted my i views in regard to the growing crop of Cotton; e the second related to Railroads and their im portance to this section of conntry; and this shall be devoted to the Mineral Waters. climate and scenery of the mountain region throngh I which [have passed. The irbt in order is the I Glenn Spring, in the lower part ofSpartaubnrg e District, iii our own State ; at which there is a - large boarding house and comfortable cabins. y capable of accommoidating rrom one hundred iad fifty to two hundred visitors, under the im. mediate supervision of its obligimg proprietor Mr. Zimmerman. This spring, for the sana Y tive properties of its waters, in varions stages 0 ofdyspepsia, hepatical complaints and derange. s ment of tIe Vicera, has a reputation, surpassed e by no Mineral Water iii the Southern States. e 1i is a gentle and unpretending fountain, which s flows almosat imperceptably from the hill, ait the s base of which it is situated, and altho' to the eye it affords nothing pleasing or attractive, yet it carries in its liopid draughts healing and life giviiig properties, I ain not informed * ofthe properties of which the water is compos. ed, but I presnuie that salts and magnesia pre. f dominate, with a minute portion of ioline pos sibly. It arts as an aperient anI diuretic, and e occasionally acts on the skin. The boardUng house. during the present season, has been well conducted, the table aniply furnished with as 3 great a variety of meats ad vegetables as are furnished in this portion of the State, and gen. - erally well dressed. at which the proprietor is r generally presiding, 'giving attetion to his a gue4s, and superintending the servants, who are ctpable and attentive. ' tie location of this spring in the lower part of Spartanburg District, and its vicinity to Fairforest creek, constitute.he only objection, which I have ever heard suggested against it as a.wateriig plae. If it was in: the neighbor hood of the mountains, itwould be the great tresort~ofall the invalids, and a large-portion of aar aravetig comm unityd.and worhd oon ri; ma avel thie far famed White .dulphur Springs in theo number os its visitors annually. You pass Sfrom the Glenn -Spring in the direction ol the monunutatis to Lincestonte, which you can reach Sby an easy day's travel. This is a large arid abeautiful fountain of water, that gushes I romn a the bosom of the earth in a giirgling stream, S and invites youA by its limpid appiearaince, to r partake of its coonliing waters, whether you de Ssired to gratify the taste or to slahe the thirst. e It afforded a few years ago a resort in summer jfor the mrost fashionable portion of otur people and could then boast of the beauty anid fatshiou, 'that daily treaded its. shiady walks, andl.highitly a trod its tbrilharit hall to the light mneasures of the merry dance,' but ils. glory in this respect teas ; depart ad, arid thiegay and merry crowds whcrrh s then indulged in all the pleasures of song and .dance, have given place to other tenants, not t less young and lovely than their predecessors. rTe establishment hats been conuver ted int" a seintary of learning~ for the edcacition of young ladies, and is undaer thre direction oif the Rev. - M r. Currtiss, a genutleman. of ample qitalifica a tions as a teacher of grreat moral worth anid of -agreeable manniers, liberal in Iris opiltnins arid Sprinciples, withieut sectariran bigiutrv. or covert desire of' proselytiing threse intrusted to hii care to his own faith and doctrines. I derive', his iniformation froin a distinguished fuuctioni try of the State, who resides ini the viciinity arnd who by the gentle courtesy of his mnaniners, arid by the flowling arid plensing hospitality, Idisplayed irn his ample mansion,.crontribrutes S greatty to the interest of the place. and renders a visit of a few dnys exceedirngty ugroeabte. ,Frouc, Limestone to Wilson Sprimng, a distance .of tweinty two miles, you pass over at) urndulact i inig counutry ount you pass Broad river at Ellis bridge, arid thence on a ridge, which allords 'one of the best roads hrr the uipper cuouniry un h il you reach WVilson Spring. This spring is -rm the county of Cleveland, within ten til~es oh |the county towii of Shelby, and in a hiu'y part t of the country, sutliciently iiear the mountains -to have cool anel refreshing nights, and to be y exempt from fever. This spring is thre most r imviting aned refreshing fountain of water, that I leave ever seen. Itrucis from a solid rock into 'a simall basin cut ina the rock, arid when viewed at its mouth. offers to the excited palate a dIraught, riot less teirpting than the imragimary fo~untain, whose fabulons waters possessed the .rejeivinatinig properties of' restoring vigor arid areinaiiohi to old age. I regard this as -.mnonag the most valuable mineral Springs irn the United States. It is greatly to he regretted, that it is , in the possessionm of a ermane, who, tee say the ,least oh him, is the most tunmainageaible arnd iin .comprehensible churl ore the lace ofnthe earth, and who obstinately rejects all advice, aiid as *obstinately puisnes the sutggestion of his own ashort-sighted policy. Ho cannot be induced Seither to selL or impr~eove his establishimenet, so as to afford accommo~dationis to the hundreds of Sinavalids, who would visit the spR ing on account Iof its medicinal quialities, provided they could Iobtain entertairnent. At present he cannot entertain over fteen or twenty persons, arid r with that inumber, they are crowded-into small rooms withoutdire places, and often as many as four int one chamber. The grounds aronund the sprinig would admit of great improvement, tand in ijhe handiaof an enterprising and obliging -landlord, this spring would soon become one tof the principal resorts in sumnier, for the in harbitants of Northr Carolina, sooth Catolina, Sand-Georgia, who would flock to it insearch <of. hiealth and pleasure. I passed from WVilsotis, over the Blue flidge, tad through Hickory-rnt -gap, to Col.- Deavors Sulphur Spring. situated four or five tmiles from Ashville, where I re maeinod -about tet days. Tihe writer of this -spring is siiliar in, tasite and properties, to that of Wrlsons, buit not so highly mineral,; and its - cfetcs are similar but in a sligntly dinished 4A 'The' 6arin- h~ae 6a l;cate Crowin ofin eleftted Ifilli idii. 11. b16iis the, n'oinainswhch'ins visible'fi verfdir aid litnit the horizon, aronnld the intirb'irdli The block of buildings is large and rboiy tbie. table excellent, the landlord attentive andobligai ing, aid the clinate at this period of tiieyearl: as cool and bracing its .heart could wish*-.In , fact, during a clear and temperate dayita s, is absolutely exhilirating.

I have neard front all :he visitors, the respecta ble proprietor of the esitablisinenitspoken of in terms of extravagant comnmeidation for his a. sidnous attention to lia guests, and for the ex-, cellence of his table, during the present sim mer. The next point ofattracion in the circle is Csitr's head, on the summit of the Sainda mountains; within our own State, and at thi' distance of three miles of the North Carolina line. From Col. Dea-ors, you can reach this mountain rock. either by a direct road, partly running up the valley of French broad rive:,-or by the way of Hendersonville and Flht-rock, which increases the distance nineten miles, by the angle which you form, in passing to.-and front these lIst places to Cesar's hepd. 'A vivit to the Flat-rock settlement is always interestigij. and shonuld not he neglected. For thlttasteftl and highly improved residences, which dot'the valley at the foot of the Blue ridge, for miles in extent, occupied in summerby the intelligent and courteous, who form a social circle, imfe rior to none in the South, and for the exhilirat in- and euable clituate, unisurpassed by none npost the tihee of the earth, I know of no place that oliers more attractions to the invalid or pleasure seeking traveller. Let mne advise every one to visit it and judge for hinsell. We have now reached, kind reader, in -the progress of this narrative,Cwdr's hend, ani elevated ridge of mnou ntains in the N. West corner of Greenville District,jtnat coming into notice, but destined by its rich and magnificent mountain scenery, greatly to surpass the table rock or any other lo' cal spot in the Sonthern States, in point oifin - terest and altraction, except, perhajps, the Tock mountain in Georgia. which is represented as an object o'stupendaous grandeur. - 1 will forbear any attempt at description, and content myielf with merely remarkintg, that the view rrom Cesar's head at 6 o'clock in the norn ing for extent of prospect, spread out before the eve like a vast plain of deep forest verdure, with white vapour, extendina over each farm like a curtairr, and imparting to the view the ap pearance ofa chain of lakes, dotting every part )f the'iimense valley below you, far excels any thing I have ever seen. I can conceive of no cottbitation of qualities. in at individual, that could be more iappropriate by his unigne. ness of character, ta this retarkable spot, than the jovial and good tempered landlord Colottel Hago-1, who is it sort of lion of the mouuatitins, having perched hitnself on this bold clifflie' the wild eagle on his,aerie, the lord of mttch lie surveys. and when he exercises the privilege of indulging his broad jests and merriment wit h oatt lear or favoter. and it thte - sa tine dis. pensing a free aid unaptetenadinag hospitality in his owi way, thatt is peculiarly aigrereable to his, visitors.
