C., under dato of the 18th ultimo : "Whither shall I go?" is a question which agitates tho nnndB of thousands of invalids in the Northern States when tho corly frosts in September begin to tinge tho forests with gor? geous hues. Perhaps an aoute illness hns so reduced tho vitalitv of tho patient that, al? though from disease ho dare not encounter tho rude blu?tsof a Northern winter; or cou sumpti in, in Borne of its multiform guises, has laid tts cold hand upon a vital organ, chilling every fibre of bia being-reduong strength, obstructing breath, disturbing circulation, ?m {miring digestion, irritating nerves, pros rating strength, and at the samo timo, in Btrango contradiction, irradiating the whole future with hope. My own condition was briefly this: One hot night in Juno (and last June you remember was hot) I slept beeide an opon window. During the night a cold nin sot in, and I awoke chilly and Bore; from this ousued a cold with trifling cough; then pneumonia in both lunge, whioh for many weeks kept me vibrating between lifo and death, and finally loft me with a "slight difficulty" in my lungs, which repeated auscul? tation, by various professors, at length deci ? ded was occasioned by "tubercular deposit" in the right lung. Medication, they told me, was of no use, but exerciso in the open air would do much to restore my strength. But how can an invalid exeroise out doors in Now York during the winter ? "Whither shall I go ?" became my inquiry. The professional re? sponse was that there was not suoh probabili? ty of benefit from change of climate as VffluKr warrant a physician in prescribing that ?ourse, still, aB I was bent on going somewhere, and if I did not go "would probably feel that I had neglected to do what might have boen of ser? vice," why, under these circumstances, medi? cal assent-not advice-was given that I might go South; and Aiken was indicate! as the place moat likely to provo beneficial. At this time I was extremely attenuated and feeble, a walk of a quarter ol' a milo exhausted mo, my pulse exceeded ono hundred, my cough was racking and frequent, with constant night sweats, and erratic chills followed by fever. A resolute will, however, was loft to me, and I started for this placo. I arrived hero during an unusually cold spell, aud for a tew days my symptoms were aggravated; yet I spent all tho time out doora that my strength would permit; and at tho ond of a fortnight I began to im? prove, and that improvement has continued, with one or two intervals of retrogression, Blowly, very slowly, until now. At present I can, as a daily exerc?e, walk three or four miles, and gallop on horseback from ton to twenty milos more, besides playing croquet two or'three hours, n mailling out-doors from breakfast to sundown, without any souse ol exhaustion. I have had neither chilli fever, nor uight-swoat for two months; my pulse beats from seventy to eighty, my cough is lesa frequent aud severe, and my weight increased five pounds. Whother the progress of disease in my lungs is arrested I am not able to decide: I can only say that my symptoms are alleviated in tho manner and to tho dogreo I have set forth. WHERE AIKEN IS. Although Aiken has boen known at the South for twenty years and more as a desirab e resort in winter for those suffering from- pu tr lui vuuviu- ?<-r?t?Vxifo4i-uv*-0.9 OOO?p? "OllTS XlXttIttratfttj influences which prevail so extensively in the South, it h*s no general topute at the North. Many of those now here did not know of it un? til thoy reached tho South. Aiken is in the western portion of South Carolina, one hun? dred and twenty miles from Charleston, elevat? ed six'hundred and fifty feet above the level ol that city, and three hundred and fifty feet above Augusta, Georgia, from, which it is seventeen miles distant. It is upon tho "water? shed" whioh divide? the streams emptying into the ooean at Savannah through the river of the same name, and those reaching the At? lantic at Charleston through the Edisto River. The village lies directly upon the Sooth Caro? lina Railroid, and the station is lesa than two hundred feet from the hotel where I am writ? ing. There are from one hundred to one hun? dred and fifty dwellings, and as each building lot is from two to three acres in extent, and the rectangular streets are all one hundred and fifty fett wide, it is almost a village of "mag? nificent distances." I have not been able tully to decide whether the village is in the woods or the woods in the village, so numerous are the trees. Many of the grounds are prettily laid out and nicely kept. THE CLIMATE. The climate is not so warm as to be debilita? ting, nor is it so cold as to interfere with the fullest enjoyment of, out-door exercise and amusoment. I have taken pains ta preserve a reoord of the thermometer since the middle of December, at the hour of 7 A. M., as follows : Deg.

During this period thero have been about seven rainy days, and about three days of clouds and high winds. The remainder of the time the weather has been delightful, the ther? mometer ranging from noon to sundown be? tween 55 degrees and 65 degrees, and in two instances tone liing 70 degrees. While the mer? cury indicates the actual temperature its rec? ord conveys no idea of the quality of tho at? mosphere, which is dry aud exhilarating. Hothing impresses me se forcibly with the 2us li ty of the air here as an occasional visit to .ugusta, only seventeen miles distant, where Ialways find a difficulty of respiration, and consequent depression which is at once re? moved upon my return here. The soil is poor, sandy and porous, so that in four or five hoars after a heavy rain it becomes quite dry under foot. TSE ACCOMMODATIONS APO) PEicfiS. There aro no especial accommodations here for invalids. The houses, including this hotel, Are built as refuges from summer heats. The broad nails, wide verandahs and adjacent shade trees harmoniously attest that. A re? cent writer upon Italy/ discoursing' in regard to u similar condition of things in that coun? try, says : "In Borne things, it is true, this har? mony may be poshed too far, and you may feel that associations suggestive of faatastio sum? mers boat,'are but an indifferent specific for Of neave lungs, as you sit cowering over the ?^S?te of ? wood A", while the draughts &w^tiiqg wmdo??.and dqors Jostle eaeh , ?thor ra the race to osjpapenp theohimney." This might very well have been within any that these 'ifll-nttihg windows and doors" and . open fire-places are not most effective agents ??nPS>?0?n,R recovery here. It is simply ven . ttBa?aa, primitive ventilation, to be sure, but still effective; and sn enormous improvement awn the stove, or furnace-heated apartments most hermetically sealed, fbnnd at the North. I know of one gentleman here who deter mined to reform all this, and with paste and ?aper, tasks and list, closed every aperture. He remained almost constantly in his room fer two months, and then concluded the air here did not hon eft* him and left. He is the only one I have heard of who has left this win? ter under snob sn impression. The roans ra mi the houses here are generally, larg?. and, as I have more than intimated, airy. At this footol the price of board is 890 per Month, er $160 for two in one roo?. In private booses tho price is $65 per month for each pera**, i whether one or two oooupy a room. It is fair to say that nearly all the boarders here aro in? valid's, who require apecial attention and pecu? liar diet, and in that view prices aro not un? reasonable. Th? faro is aa good aa can bo ex? pected so far inland, and cannot Justly be com? plained of. In this respeot there is a marked improvement over former years, I am told. VISITOBS II KUH. .... Hugh Maxwell, of New York, baa spent the winter hero, and Thurlow Weed bas been here several weeks. The former baa improved very much, indeed, in health, and tbo latter ia un? derstood to bo gaining slowly. They frequent? ly intorost tho guests hero by their brilliant conversation at the flre-sido oran evening, aud eithor of thom can commence tho narration of eomo incident iu his own history in the words of tho secondary titlo of Soott'B Waverly " Tis sixty years since." Hornau J. Redfield, another Now York octogenarian, has also been spending a few days here. Captain Oscar Coica and General Dimmick, United State? army, n:o wintorincr at thia hotel. The inva? lids aro chiefly nfilleted with disoiders of tho throat and lungs. The malade imaginaire is rarely found hero. It is common to hoar some cadaverous individual asseverate, with heav? ing client and panting breath, that "his lungs are as sound aa a dollar, but ho has a little difficulty in his throat." That self-deception is a:i idiosyncraoy of his disease. Although so many of the guests aro invalids, yet as tnoBt of them are accompanied by friends (aud nono should come hore unattended by a frioud) some of thom by their entiro families, tho place is by no means dull. Consumption is itself a cheerful disease, and gay cavalcades brighten tho atreota every pleasant morning, ana tho numerous croquet grounds resound with morry laughter. A PROPOSE? SANITARIUM. Tho grounds have been purchased and a charter obtained by some Northern gentlomon, who appreciate tbo chinai ic advantages of tho place, tor tho purpose of erecting a sanitari? um, or hotel for invalids, which in its grounds, gymnasium, stables, ?fcc., will offer alt mci ion s and appliances whioh will bo of the highest benefit to those seeking restoration to health. Additional accommodations are greatly need? ed, as scores are turned from the placo every winter for want of room. It would not bo pru? dent for any person to count on finding a room hore this season without first learning whether one can be bad, and engaging it in advance. Tho hotel has been full for some time. STATE OF SOOIET.V. This has been a military post since the wai. LaBt year two companies of tho Fifth calvary wore Btationod hero, and when they loft for the plains in September their piuco was filled by a small detachment of tho Eichth infantry. These troops loft a iow days ago, joining the regiment in Columbia, and the barracks, &0" have been sold. It was hero that Wheeler und Kilpatrick had a brush during Sherman's march. Some of the negroes oro very indus? trious and saving, and somo are very lazy and improvident, but all of them aro orderly. In? deed, the streets of Aiken aro safer than those of New York, and, as that may not bo thought very assuring, I will add, as safo as any North? ern village. Even vicious negroes aie not dis? posed to commit offences against the person. Their failings uro of tho potty larceny order, a knowledge of which on tbo part of judicious chickens would cause them to "roost high." Many of tho white inhabitants havo settled here because their hoalth will not permit thom to livo elsewhere. They are kind and sympa? thetic toward strangers, and strive to make their sojourn pleasant. Bzporta.

PROBABLY NEVER BEFORE IN THE WHOLE history of medicine has anything won so widely and so deeply upon the confidence of mankind ss this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long series of years, and among most ol tho races of men, it has risen nigher and higher in their estimation, as it has become better known. Its uniform character and power to cure the various af? fections of the lungs and throat, have modo it known as a reliable protector against them. While ad ap'od to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at tbe same time the most effectual remedy that ?an be given for incipient consumption,and the dan? gerous affections of the throat and lungs. .As a pro? vision against sudden attacks of Croup, lt should be kept on hand in every family, and indeed, as all are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all should be provided with this antidote for them. Although settle l CONSUMPTION is thought incura? ble, still great numbers of oases where the disease seemed settled have been completely cured, and the patient restored to Bound health by the CHKBBY PECTORAL. SO complete is its mastery over the dis? orders of the Lunas and Throat, that the most ob? stinate of them yield to it. When nothing else could reach them, under the CHERRY PECTORAL they sub? side and disappear. SrNOEKs AND PTTBTJO SFXAKERS find great protec? tion from lt. ASTHMA is always relieved and often wholly cured by it BRONCHITIS ls generally cured by taking the CHEE? SY PECTORAL in small and frequent doses.
