To the Editor of the Iimndalovl: Loudon's on tiii: Hivun, ni:aii"Om) Dm:n'- .vox' Henuy Co, Ky., Oel. 18 While waiting here lor the return of tho Freese Ironi Louisville, I seize the opportunity to jot you u lew lines a bout my voyage down the river, the visit to Uhi Drennon Springs, iVc. Decidedly the pleitsitulcnt modi! ol reaohing Springi in by Hteamer down I lie Kentucky river fiom Frankloit, or up the Ohio Irom Louisville, especially will it he the best lor that gieat and growing crowd ol health and pleasure beekers wlio are sure to come up horn the South, whether they ooniebytiie Louisville AiNurhville, or by the Cincinnati .Southern. The lormer was the mode adoiiti'd by vour mleut. who. to pav the lenowned old resoitu vioil ol iiicpeciiou, availed hitnnelt of a polite invitation trom Capt. iSandy V 'ciit'e, ownerol thol'iinnie rretse, I'reeman, Master, Auditor . J M. Willi -row, Chiel Clerk, .Mullins and Claxton, LMoK and .MaJ v'Jeorge Qimrles 'Marshal' and Master ol A voyage down the Kentucky is a pleas and ixcurMoii ai all times, but tn iu t be o in the late spring and eailv ('uuiiiierdayH when the river is booming innl die hills and alis are clot lied in their lull cuit ol.gieen blue and growing Nor, i. it hatdly le.-s .-o in the (all, when red and gold are the predominant colors, and when all the valleys and liillrides along the river, basing been well tickled with p'ongh and hoe. the whole nrendun region is laughing with abundant ham-Ms ol urniu, lia anil tobacco. All the time vouarein the ol lovely scenery, Moiling laniix, happy homesteads, ami agteeable, jolly, hospitable people, with no nonsense about them, coming add going at every landing. About ten miles below passed the (arms ol Capt. Sam. Steele (the well known and itniveisally e-teemed cXfteamhoatmau) and his brother, Col. Campbell Steele formerly of vVillard's Hotel Louisville, and the Capital at Frauki rt, The latter came aboard, alter leceiviui! and shipping Ireighis at his landing, and went with us as lar ah the Month ol Elk-hot u the famous grounds ol 13lue Crass We weie taking in tobacco, corn, wheat, potatoes, and a little live stock at neailj every landing, and we landed on an average eveiy live minutes all the wav to this poii t, Capt. Pence lining one ol the most popular whoever ran this liver. It is said, that a Cincinnati monopoly known us the "IT h. Mail ISoal Compain" aie attempting to inn him out ol the trade by cutting down to zero, but all the people along the river -.ii 1 1 1 c had rather pay Cap! Pence reasonable r.ite's than to have a monopoly carry them and 1'ieir lreigtit lor iiotlmi!;, well knowing that as soon as thev Imve the field to ! they will, like the unconscionable railroads, put up double oi tiiple rates and stick to 'cm like grim death to a dviug African. This is a serious to the people of 3 or 0 counties living along the ami lor mile? back on both nidis, lor the liver is their ole reliance lor communication with the outride world to get tluir product. to market, receive their supplies oi etc Ami thev are wisely dipoei! to give the prelereuce to home enterprise, and to home men whom they know and cm rely upon not to "solt Bolder" them wi'h gill's and kindness one day and rob them ol" everything the verv. ne.t, Our vovage do vu the river was also enlivened by tdiooting at wild fowl, such as duck, (Main's, gee.-e. Arc., flocks of which would fly up ahead o' the boat, near enough a lair shot lor keen and piaciiced sportsmen; but. sirani;e, to .-ay I saw but little execution done. Nevertheless, it was aniiisnur lo observe that as soon as Capt. Pence opentd on the living game with Ins I lean rillu, out popped dozen. and dozens ol orditi.tuly invisible tuiuill "anil lery"and a number ol them were turned loose even at long range This happened several times dining '.he day and most even ol the little hoys .seemed to be provided vvith "hip. pocket travelling compaiiioi s." During ihueaily part ol the day, two or three vong men look a little loo much of the and la came too meiiy, but "Maishal" Quurles piomptly placed t lictii uudei parole arrest, cut oil their supplies lor a siiiiable time, nnd, long belom uiglil, they were again the gditiemeu they were when they came aboard. Such were the almost iniiumeiable stoppages for freight ami passengers, we did not ic.icli this point until '.) or 10 o'clock at tiiu'bi, but the lull moon made the inn as sale and pleasant as by dayliglu. Long before- the boat landed hero, the ladies' at.d gentlemen's cabin' were crowded with passengers; the ladies, with their lads and las es, toward the last, largely predominating, iia Capt. Pence had loietold nearlv VA Tt VErSKV JWSCtTATWTOKtT; all of whom were on their way to ncipiire "ft liberal practical education within lo than u week," by visiting the truly fireat Southern Exposition. Some were so pleased with a previous short visit that they were going a second time, prepared to learn it by heart, if possible. By the by, that Exposition will be worth ''untold" millions' to Louisville nnd Kentucky, in many moie ways than one. NOW KOt! TIIK SI'RIXHS I MY. Simpson Loudon, sr., who kept this house as a Ifccoption Hotel for Old Dienuon nnd will perform the same function for tie New Drennon that is ooti to lotinl in'o form under the management of the recent purclias(rs, Ale-sis. W. u, .Jutt ami das. Andrew Scott, of vonr citv, is still an nleit, vigorous nnd urbane landlord, who know. how to welcome the coming, chaitn the titnyinir, and speed the patting guesr, n well as in the days of old, and that is to .iv. as well as any landlord in all this land ol landlords. After a night spent with him. I proceeded to the Springs, and there, under the guidance ol Mr. A. T Hardin, t and part of siirvfym and inspecting the springs propeitv, its adjuncts ami suiroundinu's, not forgeitinn scenery and the many ideally and dreamily piclurespie piiuoriiiu'c views to be enjoyed by mounting the sum mits of tlif adjat'ont hills thev would call them in Old I3alnnd. I lound that the term "Divnnon Splines" applied to a vast number of "bubbling fountains n' healing waters." mot ol them on m near the creek bed of that name. I found nlao that moat of them are phcuomenall nolil for iiiineial sfnui;s, ami yet sfongiy impregnated with all sorts of imrivdients combined by nature vvith unerring skill in the exact proportions required to cure hii'i (Ireds ol the woist ills ami to which poor humanity is -o nniveisally liable. But the collection of springs, upon which the new proprietors nininlv rely at present to fill the constantly orders from abroad, is iiself a phenomenon. A few rods south of the cieck, in a cornlield. in a space o0 or 40 liet long by 10 or lo broad, the visitor come upon a cluster ol seven or eight sulphur spiiiiMu of nil colors black, blue rid, white, Arc all dil'lring more or less in sub-lance and color and all ol wonderful curative po'er in many diti'ereiit of such as kiduev diseases, liver complaints, skin diseases of all kinds, diseases of the eye, etc., etc Such a collection or rather such a constellation of starlike waters of everybody has read about "the sweet influences ol Pleiades" and thestill unsolved o "the bands ol Orion" such a constellation of miraculous waters, I sa, can hardlj be pumlleled in any pait of the globe. The recent that Drennon water can be Ireely charged with cubonic acid g'is without discoloration, thus render!, m it capable of traii.poit'iiiou, and pine, lo all parts ol the world, has at its stiperioiitv to all known mineial vv.it rs This striking event, not oidv secures the ol the present proprietors, but iid.ls -till another to Kentuckv's numerous tit! lo distinction ; for. in addition to "the women, the finest etc., it mav now be said that she has also the best and mot pteciotis mineral water, "in the win Id." Near Mr. Hardin's still further to the South and within a lew paces (,t the spot selected lor the new Dicuuon Hotel there is a line white sulphur which at once becomes u favorite with every visitoi, and within a lew leet of it a supeiior Selt.er spiiug which is pronounced bv comp.t:tMt judge c(pial to the Sell.er watirs o! the old world. No one en a form an adeipiate itlo.i ol the extent and grandeur of "Old Dieiuion" until lie visits the place and inspects the ruins ol the old hotel the btoue foundations lill standing almost intact and in many plaeis ten or lifteen feet above ground, and thelll visible remains of other cotly imptovements extending in cvei v iliieclion even to the lops of the ovei looking hill. Think of a hotel ol'dl) or "0 yeais ago with a fioiil ol I , I ll " leet lourstories high, (liveia one place) wilh lonu row of elegant cottages ami other lastelul buildings, on either hand, all located on rising ground, but symmetrically with the main building, so as to add toihebeaiit) and irrainleiir ol the whole. To conclude: Some ol your readers, residing in California, where they are liable to come in coniact with those lepious Chiiie.sv we read about in the new h papers, may be interested to know that lliese wonderluliy healing vvuteis have actually cure i sound and well a genuine 'case of 'that most hideous ol all diseases hitherto deemed tuciii able lqiu.sy This the pitieut did by building him ash.mty ol eouisi.noneol the citi.ens would sillier him to come into tbtir houses and taking mud baths it is, wallowing in the black mud oi the sulphur springs seveml hours every day, until, after some six or eight vveeksol this treatment be went lot tit a perkctlv and pers iiiauenily cured mini. Such is the testimony ol Mr. dunlin and other credible wituiKses residing at and aioinid old Dieiuion. All aggruvatvd sl:iii diseases, for a rpiick cure, requite thec mud baths Not long ago. a ladv, nlilirled even as Job ivns by the lnt cuise which S.ilan wa peniiilleI to biing upon him, was euied by this treatment. Finally, sou may "tell all the bovaof a 'certain 2:10 velocity' that Drennon 'later is the heft ol till known waters for 'hem nnrueuhrly nlier"shotiiig Niagara" overnight.
