Letter from Guv.
GREGG'S X ROADS, Sept. 6, I SST.
Mr. Editor : Our little hamlet has fairly
gotten on its autumn boom. In addition to
J. S. Corbett's store, which is flourishing as
usual, Messrs Jenkins k McCoy have opened ?
up a floe stock of goods at Reid's Mill*, and
both places are well patronized. Our sur?
rounding vicinage is numerously inhabited,
especially by the colored brethren and during
this particular season thc "dcranition cash'-'
is plentiful among them and is freely spent.
We wish we could pick cotton and realise a
little clear profit from the darned crop. Wc
were somewhat encouraged at hearing that
t'ne price was advancing until we found that
pounds were receding faster, and now we j
don't think we can get rich until-next year.
We'd Ilk-- tu wipe up a bank or so about now,
but there"? none within reach worth wiping.
We may have our eyes to "?po though before
this Settlement season is over. Not hece.use
any one has gone off with our ''pile,*'" no one
would be abie to do that, we are not able to
go oil' with it ourself. However, we don't
want to go u?f. We want to stay right here
ami furnish the land for the new county seat.
We'll giour whuie fVrtn and throw in the
mortgages nod judgsienls. We'll also furn?
ish tile nucleus fur the poor house.
The gay and festive gin is now heard in the
land: Wt* are acquainted with nearly a gross
of gins that are well prepared to perform sur-1
gi cal operations with great dispatch on the
proper application-we mean application of
tue limb to be amputated. T.hty may not be
very scientifically performed but are quick
and cheap ami it only remains for the patient j
tu stitch up the stump. The pres?, aiso, is
now a mighty power in the lund. We mean
the cotton press, though this reminds us to i
Impress upon brother Bowman of the H i sh op- ]
ville En'erj/ri-re, the tremendous power aiso
of t'ne [>!iuting press. A very small para?
graph in his ??St issue Staling thal Rev. W.
A. Gregg would return an.i preucn itt the
Presbyterian Churcho.p.'Snoday, ?c.. drew us
and Mrs. ('uv anti the baby ly miies to Hish
Op ville o?ly to lind that the s*me paragraph j
?j.tit drawn others also to a vacant pulpit.
Appreciate more highly, brother, the mighty |
power you wield for guod or ill. '..'ur blood- j

purposes but very thin -is a drink. Dam I

yourself to something more vigorous. Before j
getting out of the entanglement of those roads j

1 Torr thc Marncalhans I.ive.
Going a.-hor?- aarly before sumisa, our first
visit was made to t!?e market pla^o to seo
what Maracaibans liVM upon. A bvtter and
a cheaper market went.I he hard to find. Kx
celleiit beef, goat, p?ork and fowls averaged
t-n cents a pound, and ail varieties of tropical
fruits abounded ut corresponding prie:-. Tied
t ?getuer in bum-hes wore great green li sards j
two i-r t IJ i*- fvet lon*;, wir H brown warts all ;
ovr-r tl>;*::i ai:d:vicious black boals of eyes.
They snapped at us like dogs as we passed, !
n;:<i when teased with n stick clung to i: like j
bull terriers. These were iguanas, whose ile- j
iieious white flesh is eagerly eaten by all j

Letter From Glenn Springs fc>3
Richard Yeadon.
j Thc following letter, the copy o
? which, clipped from the cM Cz.arlistM
\ Courier, was handed to the represeut".

while on a recent visit to Glenns, bj

as when it was first published :
Correspondence oj inc Courier.
G RK RN VILLE, Sept. 3, 1847.
I have suffered time Co steal a marci
on mc, and got my correspondence con?
siderably in arrear of my travels. In?
deed I have enjoyed so many new asd
attractive scenes, and mingled in sc
much pleasant and distinguished society,
herc and elsewhere; that I have taken
'no note of time, save by its loss/ My
discursive, and, I fear, rather toe
minute pen, was last engaged, while
dotting 'my travel's history,' in merely
announcing my arrival on the 20th
ulto. at the Ilygeiau fountain, and
amidst the select and distinguished
guests of Glenn Springs.
The watering place, known by the
i name of Glenn Springs, is situate in
1 Spartauburg District, near the line of
Union District, I'd miles from Union
ville and 12 miles South East of the
i village of Spartan burg h. They take
their name from Dr. Glenn, a former
1 proprietor.
j Their present proprietor is Mr. John
! C. Zimmerman, a native and former
j resident of Orangeburg District, and a
j most attentive and obliging host. The
j accommodations consist of a spacious
I wooden hotel of oh stories, and a set of
cabins, within an enclosed campus of
extensive area and cf some beauty,
but much needing improvement, in thc
j way of shade trees and ornamental
j walks. Outside of the enclosure are
cabins, owned by individuals iu the
vicinity, who for the beueOt of the
waters, occupy them, with their fami?
lies as summer r?sidences. The
Springs have long enjoyed a high rep
j utatton for their medicinal virtues : and
have recently got into greater vogue
S than ever, Mrs. Calhoun, the amiable
? lady of our great statesman. Col.
Preston, Chancellor Harper and Dr,
Maurice Moore [who intermarried with
j a daughter of the late Judge Nott, and
! has taken un his local habitation* hard
by, to enjoy the constant use of thc
, waters] being among the multitudinous
? host, who give personal testimony of
their healing and salubrious inSucnces.
But not only do invalids Sock to them
tu quaff the hygeiao cup-they have
become also a fashionable resort, and
the crowd is often beyond thc power of
accommodation. During my stay there,
the company was full to oversowing,
and vet cf the most select and agree
able character, literally sparkling with
beauty, fashion and intelligence. Thc
music of a band (provided by the pro?
prietor") invited the young and gay to
the innocent and healthful exercise and
graceful movements of the "jocund
dance* while straius of higher science
and richer melody from che piano, violin
and guitar, intermingled wita the
social converse of the drawing room.
The BU hard Room aud the Bowling
Alley provoked the skillful cannon, and
the athletic struggle; and numerous
shady walks and picturesque drives and
rides aided in giving wings to time and
roses to pallid checks. There united in
beautiful harmony, and yet in ail the
contrasted light and shade of the social
and morai landscape, were the wisdom
of the Senate, the dignity of the Bench
and the sanctity of the Church ; the
courtesies of the gentleman and the
charms of the fair ; the elegancies and
literature and the profundities of
science; the gravity of the old* and the
gaiety of the young. Aud, while
pleasure winged the halcyon hours, the
Giver of all good was not forgotten,
and. it was remembered to keep holy
the Sabbath day, the eloquent preacher
discoursing of 'the way, the truth and |
thc life y and the incense of prayer aud i
praise, rising from grateful tongues, j
out of the abundance of grateful hearts. I
On Sunday, the 22d uko., we had j
three religious services, in the course nf.!
y.*iO day, iii? or ?ivy mg room being used ?
for the purpose. Tho morning dis- i
course veas preached by the Rev. Jas*. \
ll. Thorn well, a graduate of the South i
Carolina College, with irs highest dis- i
tinction, and iww Professor of Sacred
Literature in that institution. Ir was .
thc tirst time I had ever had the !
pleasure, and also the pia dit ot healing j
him. His text wa> from Galatians Ch.
iv. .-. 22 ~o. 'For it is written that ;
Abraham had two sens, the one by a,
bond maid, tin- other by a free woman.
But he wiro was ot flu: i#ot?d woman
was born after the flesh : bur he ol the
free wo ni a ii was by promise.' His ?
tJjeme was the bondage of sin. as exhi?
bited in our natural aversion to truth. 1
our slavery to evil habits and our sub?
jection to thc tyranny of s upe rsi t bm
superstitous fears, observance and pe?
nances: Ile treated rho subject with a
beautiful commingling" oj argument and

(orv. In illustrating t?o- nature and
ii;.- po wei of truth, he reminded us II;

io wi rig exquisite passage ot the illus

I cannot forbear adding here I*acon'
citation from Montaigne
'If it be well weighed to say tba
a man Hetb, is ag ir.;:ch to say that li
is brave towards God and a coward tc
wards men. ?or a i ie faces- God am
shrinks from mau.'
To return from cur somewhat episo
d>cal wandering, the eloquent a?d pion
preacher closed with a forcible and im
pressive admonition and appeal, to hi
hearers, to 'Stand fast therefore in th
liberty wherewith Christ has made u
free and be not entangled again wi tl
the yoke of bondage/
In the eveuing. Mr. Thornwel
preached another discourse, in whicl
there was less of argument and more o
beautiful imaginary, impressive exhorta
tion and impassioned appeal. Thc topic
which kindled bis pious fervor was tin
secoud coming of Christ, from this tex
(Acts Ch. ?. v. IO, il)-'And whii;
they looked steadfastly toward heaven ai
he went un, behold two men stood b*
them in white apparel : Which als?
said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand y<
gazing up into heaven ? This same
Jesus, which is taken up from you inte
heaven, shall so come in like manner a
ye have seen him go into heaven.'
Mr. Thorn well, although laboring
under indisposition, from a cold, I be
iieve, was full of animation in manner,
as weil as power in expression.
His voice was full-toned and melo?
dious, although occasionally broken
but even then his accents having thc
effect of those discords in music whicl:
conduce to the general harmony. Oc?
casionally, while kindling with cloque ni
fervor, the stamp of the foot was called
to thc aid of gesture, and once he lifted
the candlestick beside him, and replaced
it with a force that extinguished thc
light it bore. The effect of the eve?
ning discourse, especially in the de?
scription of the sublimities and terrors
of the riuy of judgment, tlie horrors o?
an undone eternity, and the beatitude
of everlasting glory in the kingdom o?
fleaven, was felt, in all thc prc te n ey o?
eloquent truth, by every mind and
heart in the deeply moved and interested
assembly. I was glad to learn that the
reverend and distinguished speaker,
although once afilie ted with a hem
orragc of the lungs, entirely recovered
from th J dangerous complaint, about
seven years ago, aod although slender
and seemingly feeble in frame, now
promises a long life of usefulness to
the interests of religion and literature
The afternoon service was performed
by the Kev. Mr. Walker, of thc Meth?
odist Church, who made an interesting
statement and warm appeal, in behalf
of the State Bible Society; and took up
a colllection to aid in supplying desti?
tute families with the inspired volume.
The water of Glenn Springs was
analyzed, in Charleston, in Jan. 1840,
Uy Professor C. U Shepard, occupying

lege of the State of South-Carolina,

ing opinion that thc water is very

Magnesia than ProfessOi Shepard sup?
poses from his analysis of the stale bot?

believed to have the carbonic acid gas

its value. I subjoin the entire analy?

Tlie Spring lies in a valley, about a :
third of a mile from the flote!, ano is
approached by a shady watk, down :
pretty steep declivity. Hard by is a j
woorien shelter, with seats, to refresh
the weary invalid or pedestrian, and of
rm ?rea soucient for a city quadrille or
rustic ree;. The water irsues in oct a j'
very bold or copious stric?.tti., from a j
stone basin, and wends its way, ? be- ?
lievc. to Fair Forest Creek, a tributary j
of the Xyger /'iver. To my sense, it j
was not disagreeable, in either odour or |
taste, but even pleasant as well as re- ! .
freshing ly cool to the latter. Us i m me j 1
diate effect is that of a fullness or heav- ; '?
iness, not amounting to pain, of the ]
head, and a slight action on the bowels, j 1
Like the Congress Water of ^aralnga, j
its action is much aided by the blue- j
pill at night, fellowed by the copious j
and pellucid draught at early morn, j !
Frequent exercise, adapted in degree j
to the physical strength of the patient, j j
cheerful company and social converse ] '
are ef?caciou.s Hygciar: auxiliaries. ?
have no catalogue cf lite, of which
these bigbly medicinal and healthful j
wacers constitute tbe remedy ; but they
are certainly remedial of dyspepsia j
paralysis, apoplectic tendencies, and j
general and especially female debility ; i
and several strongly attested instances j
have been communicated to mc. of es- j
traordinary and cv^n >.wo-fold fruitful- j
ness following their use, long after all j
hopes cf maternity had been entirely !
abandoned.
There can bc no doubt that Glenn
Stirings are destined io a large increase ?
of both medicinal and fashionable eo'.e- j
brity-suitable accommodations oniy ;

cidedly good and cheap. The following

dren and servants half price-horses !
G2 cents per day, or ?ol per week. The j
great defects in the present establish- ?
ment are want of suincient room, of j
comfortable bedding, of barhiog con
viences. These deficiencies supplied, a
spacious granite edifice erected, and \
rows of neat cabins put up, and there j *
would be no telling to what estent the

WASHINGTON LETTES?
WASHIXOTOK, D.C., Sep. 9, 1887.
The event of the season is the meet5
log of thc international Medical Con
2ress, which convened on Monday last
with impressive ceremonies and still
:ontinues in session. Albaogh's Opera
ii ou se was the place of meeting, and
the Congress was formally opened by
President Cleveland ir. person, whose
appearance on the stage wan the sign of
loud ant: long continued applause-tn
fact, such a demonstration was accorded
iiim fs has rarely been witnessed til
Washington. % the President's ?<fe
sat Secretary bayard and speaker Car?
lisle, and the excellent address of the
former was another pleasing feature of
the occasion*. It was really unique
when several foreign physicians arose,
sad in their native language, eloquent
iy responded to those addresses, and to
that of the President of the Congress.
Next, a business meeting, followed at
night by a bail and banquet at the Pen?
sion Oiiicc, which xi is estimated was at?
tended by at least six thousand persons.
Then, on the nest night, the President
gave the doctors a grand reception, the
pleasure of which was enhanced by
delightful music from thc celebrated
Marine Band. The Congress meets
daily, and each meeting is edified by
able disquisitions on some disease, or in
the learned discussion of abstruse sub?
jects of medical science. Great and
lasting beneSts to mankind are expected
to result from this interchange of ex?
perience and knowledge en the part of
ihe most skillful and talented physi?
cians of the world-a hope that I
doubt not will bear full fruition to thou?
sands of sufferers throughout the broad
herders of ciiisation. This is the ninth
meeting of the Medical Congress-tho
?rst in the United States-and it may
now be regarded as established on a
permanent basis.
The tariff conference is still in pro?
gress at Oak View-being participated
in by President Cleveland, Speaker
Carlisle, and Congressmen Mills and
Scott ; also by Secretary Fairchild, who
was summoned by telegraph from his
leave of absence in New York, for this
.pecia! purpose-the latter circumstance
ionSrming beyond any doubt the re?
port of che important consultation in
question. It is said that the tariff bill
to be ?ame J by the Administration will
bc presented to all Democratic Con?
gressmen as a party measure, and th?t
its support ly them nezt session will be
required zz a test of partisan fidelity.
Mr. Randall is also in thc city, but he
iisciaims any intention to discuss poli?
tics or the tariff on this visit, though be
says he will probably call on the Presi?
dent while here. It is bettered that
the tariff scheme in process of incu?
bation will be of such a conservative
character that it will secure the adhesioc
jf protective Democrats.
Your correspondent is gratified to be?
alle to state that a few or the rascals
ire being turned out and replaced bjr
the brave boys in the ir-rviee. Edgar

Tioga County, New York, who is a ?pe?

lome of Senator Sherman, was bounced

?cod enough to keep him in office
two years ; another is a prominent

jutiived his usefulness; u::d t hear of

There are mere clerks on leave of ab?
