In visiting tl?o place heretofore, I have been prevented, by the hurry of business, from seeing but iittle of it, or forming the acquaintance of any ol its cilir.sos. The day which 1 have jCht spent here lies enabled tnc to see many of the most interesting features io and about this most flourishing Southern city, ?u<l forming the friendship of several of its moat enterprising inhabitant*. 1 am indebted to my friend, Geo. T. Barns, Esq., for most of the pleasures and opportunities I have enjoyed sinee my arrival. We have spent the entire afternoon in a very agreeable and j pleasant drive through the most attractive parts | of the city, ns well ns the suburban village of Sumrnerville, which latter place, notwithstanding its beautiful and appropriate name. Is better known by the citizens of this part of the country ns ' The Sand Hills." ^ The merchants and business men of this place are now very busy. 1 see boxes of goods nil along the principal business streets, destined for merchants in the interior and upper counties. Augusta has received a large proportion of the trade which has this year been distributed among Southern eitir* <in nn.?nin.t t.l lti? doctrines and feelings of the people of the Sooth. She is now n port of entry-, >nd lier werelicits are importing goods from foreirn markets to a considerable extent. An effort will be mode at the present loiioii of Congress to enable the importers of Augmta to pay custom rates here, instead of Charleston and Savannah, aa they now have to do. The population of this plnea is between 18,Ot>0 find 20,000. Fifteen years ago the population was only 7,802. The streets, generally, are wide, and handsomely laid out? almost all of them are named after distinguished persons. *The houses here, and particularly the dwelling houses, are tasteful and substantial. Many of them are finished in the highest style of architecture, and display, in a great degree, the taste and refinement of their owners. 1 betters that to Gen. Oglethrope this place is indebted for its naase. It was nsrried in honor of o?e of the royal princesses, who was named Augusta.

The United State* Arsenal is also located ut the Sand Hills, but at present is unoccupied by a single soldier. 1 was informed that, during the days of nullification in South Carolina, Qen. Jackson had one thousand soldiers at the Arsenal for the purpose of forcing South Carolina to terms. These one thousand troop* marched up the Sand Hills, and then marched down again. Since which time the most anxious | enquirer has never heard of them. 1 had the pleasure of seeing the venerable form of Hon. Charles J. Jenkins as I passed his residence at the Sand llilla. Mr. Jenkins, as the readers of the Enterprine well know, is one of the most distinguished lawyers in Georgia, and is highly venerated and respected by all, even his political opponents. To his consistency in politics may be attributed hit failure to receive any of the high public offices for which his claims have been, in times past, presented by his friends.

It amounted to 868 tons of copper ore, or about 140 tons of ingot copper, (280,000 pounds.) This is worth, in the general market, $68,000, and after deducting $23,000 for the expense of mining, smelting, and bringiug to market, Ac., yields a net income of $43,000 for one month, or at the rate of haft million a year.

Augusta, Ark., March 8tli, Editor Enterprise?Sir: I presume a synopsis I of a report of the analysis of water from the Hot Springs, of Arkansas, will not l>o uninteresting to at least a portion of your renders. These Springs have long been celebrated for their curative properties in a large class of deep-seated chronic diseases, rheumatism, drc.?diseases modern science has found more than a match for its wisdom and skill. The number of springs, is fifty four, varying in temperature from 51 to 117 drg. Fah., and discharging from a half to six gallons per miuute. One of tlio largest and hottest springs, having a steady temperature of 147 dcg., was experimented upon, the result showing the water to contain 8i grains of solid mineral matter to the gallon. An analysis of the mineral constituents of water from this spring, made by E. Uillis Larkin, of St. I?ui^ in 18&8, shows the following per ceutage: Silicci acid, 24.74; senquioxide of iron, 1.81 ; allatnina, 6.16; lime, 28.83; magnesia, 73 ; cliloiiue, 7 ; carbonic acid, 21.36. <trganie matter, 8.81; water, 1.04; sulphuric acid, 4.40; potassa, 1.49; soda, 2.01; making^ 100.100. It will be seen, from the above, that about three-fourths of the residue consists of earl>onate lime (common lime,) and silica, (flint,) substances of feeble action, so far as a correspondent of the St. Louis Republican "knows, on the animal economy." 1 have told yon, in a former letter, that the country was level in the eastern counties, and this (Jackson) county, especially ; and 1 will venture the aasertiou that the Mississippi Valley is made land, ana null the > alley waa once a sea of water. The opinion not being new, I will not here give you the reasons upon which the opinion ie based. The lands of this county seem to be particularly adapted to cotton, possessing sand enougli to keep the ground well pulverised, which also i lakes up the water so <hat the seed does not rot, and the "plant )a nut so subject u> be kSHtd by lice, sore-skin, Ac. I know it if said that the Arkansas River lands ara the best cotton lands in the world. Why T M Because ft lias both the soil and the climate," one says. Tis true thin ' eonntfy lies quite two degrees farther North than I the Arkansas River, and consequently cannot | havs as good climate > but aa much cotton h produced to the acre Were as there. Then wa must 1 have a better soil. This makes me say wa bava a soil particularly adapted to eotton. Home of yoor readers may ask, which of the two regions is best, the White or Arkansas River 1 I shall not prttend to answer tlmt to suit every body, bat will give an impartial view of eaeh.

Mrs. Cunningham's Suicide, At SI lionil street, would not startle the world to a greater degree than the Astonishing effect of Wood's Hair Tonic upon gray, dry. harsh aud thin hair Try it, reader, and one liottle only wilt convince you that this article is not to lie classed Among the worthless nostrums of the dny. Professor Wood himself is a living illustration of the value of his own article. He was gray at thirty years of nge, and now his hair is as black and glossy as the raven's wing. Caution.?Beware of worthless imitations, as several are already in I lie market, called by dif ferent names.
