The domestic department being under the charge of a Steward and Matron, will enable the Doctor to devote to the patients whatever time may be necessary. Application for admission to bo made to SAMUEL WEBB, Secretary. Office No. 68 South Fourth street, residonoe No. 10 Lo gan square, Philadelphia. General Description of the PUrkevMe Hydropathic hutituU. l*he main building is three stories high, standing back from the street about one hundred fret, with a semicircu lar grass plot in front, and contains thirty to forty rooms. The grounds around the house are tastefully laid out with walks and planted with trees, shrubs, Ac. On the left of the entranoe to these grounds is a cottage containing four rooms, used by male patients as a bathing house, with every convenience for "packing," bathing, Ac.; on the right of the entrance, about two hundred feet distant, stands a similar oottage, used by the ladies for similar purposes. In the rear of the Institute, at the distance of one hun- | dred feet, are three other cottages, some eighty feet apart. One of these Is the laundry, with a hydrant at the door: I the other two are oocupied by the warrant*. The hydrant water is introduced into these cottage* as well as into the main bnilding, and all the waste water carried off by drains under ground. TBI WATSR WORKS Consist of a circular stone bnilding, standing on the brow of a hill, surmounted by a large cedar reservoir containing five hundred barrels, brought from a never-faillnir spring Of pure cold water In the skis of the hill, by " a hydraulic ram," a sei?acting machine of cast iron, that is kept con stantly going, night and day, by the descent of the water from the spring. The surplus water is carried from the reservoir to a fountain in the water-works yard, surround ed by weeping willows. In the first story of the water works is a circular room, containing the donche bath, which is a stream falling from a height of about thirty feet, and can be varied in siie from half an inch to an Inch and a half in diameter. Adjoining the douche room is a dressing room, with marble tables, Ac.; the titina douche (for the cure of piles, Ac.) Is one of the most com plete contrivances of tho kind, being entirely under the control of the patient using the same. There are many other appliances, which can be better understood by a personal examination. mar 24 TO COUNTUV MERCHANT^ FANCY AND 8TAPLK GOODS MOULTON a OO., Successors to J*0 Palcowsr A Oo <M Cedar and 22 Pine streets, NesYortL^i.; ehants visiOng New York cityte^holr Imm.M Uteck of Foreign and Domestic, Fancy and Staple Drv Goods Their stock Is entirely new and, In ^orfv, th?Tr neW *U1jj,,le(rant "J'", confined mc/u slvely to this house, consisting of every variety of Drtsx Goods to be found in the French, German.

Gkntlkmen : Wc left Washington for thin . place, in the oars /or Baltimore, on the 25th - ultimo, when the thermometer had run up to 94? at my houae on the Avenue. When the train was in motion, tho air teemed as the breath from d furnace, and when at rest we were almost overcome with the hcAt; but just as we entered Mount Clare Depot, a threatening storm began to display the most brilliant light ning I ever beheld; the daahiag storm that i soon followed, nearly deluging the city, refresh ing tho air greatly, my flagging spirits bracing up under its influence. Next morning at eight o'clock, on our way for Harper's Ferry, near Sykosville, we come upon some twenty or more small mountains, in an area of about three mileB. During the tran sit of tho train of cars through tho valley of these hills, I stood upon the platform of our car, watching the locomotive, and the serpentine fofjy of our v$ry long train, as it threaded its way in obedience to the will of tho iron horse, that was dodging right and left to avoid a direct oantaot with these hills; now winding its way round to the right, in the next moment shearing oil' to the left and entirely biding itself from our view; and so on, round and about, right anil left, until we shot off in a straight line, leaving these mounds in our rear. It was to me the most fearful and exciting five minutes of my life; for I had, when a boy at school, some ex perience in a train of thirty or more boys run ning hand-in-hand, when suddenly the leader turns short round, that motion gives a slight shock to his next neighbor, which increases as it runs out to the end of the train of boys, where, the poor little fellow having nothing to check him, is thrown out into the aii- from the train, like the threads from a ooach-whip when it is cracked; and 1 expected to soe the last car thrown off in this way from the same cause. At one o'clock we arrived at Harper's Ferry, whero we remained until the next day?the wise Virginians, in their legislative councils, havinsr determined that there shall be no public traveling in her borders on the Sabbath day; and I must say that the majesty of tho scenery on every hand here is in every way calculated to bring men to pause, before they transgress that law of the Deoalogue which declares, 4,Thou shalt keep holy the Sabbath day," and all others of the ten commandments also. I will not attempt to describe what wonders of nature and art I saw at Harper's Ferry. That has been often done by abler pens. I will only remark what struck my mind very for cibly: that there are here two groat anta gonistical principles at work, the one build ing up the place, and tho other pulling it down? their great water-power and their great rum power! Their grave-yards tell a dismal story of rum's doings here ! But by the late move ments of tho temperance army?aided by the Wholesome regulation and restraint of Major Symington, who dismisses every drinking man out of his force of five hundred hands employed at this time in the United States Armory here for the manufacture of rifles and muskets?it is admitted that rum is surrendering. From the neat little houses going up around the hills here, belonging to the mechanics in the Armory, we may inl'er the proof. Major Symington is to leave this post on the 5th, 1 think 1 was in formed, of this present month. He has been stationed at Harper's Ferry for about ten years. It is to be hoped that his successor [Iluger, the person on the trial of Talcott whom the Presi dent handled so severely] will keep up this regulation. There is a very general regret at Harper's Ferry that the Major is to leave this placo. On Monday, at twelve o'clock, we were again off for Winchester, thirty-two miles ftirtber od, accompanied by a party of friends, who had come down on tho Cumberland train from the Bedford Springs, where they left 400 visiters. | Between Harper's Ferry and Winchester there is a most beautiful country, interspersed with some splendid farms. Their corn looked finely j indeed, which surprised us, considering the ' dryness of the season. And as we dwelt upon these immense fields of this great staple of our country, standing erect in the fields like so many soldiers in green, with spreading tassels above, like so many open extending hands, as though in token that they were for all mankind, we regretted that this provision should be pros tituted to the Stilt, to produce a monster to curse and kill those whom it was Bent to bless and nourish. Arriving at Winchester, we took dinner, and off over the mountains to the Springs, twenty- | three miles distant, in ooachea?fine teams, : excellent coaches, and careful drivers. With these we reached the Springs at about eleven o'clock at night, hands in our pockets, as though it were November! We went to bed, I and called for more blankets. Early in the ! morning we Ballied forth to take a look around, j rather surprised at appearances. Tho buildings wore more extensive than we had expected, j and much grander. We learned that seven hundred persons were here. We went to break- j fast at half-past eight oclook, and from the thinness at the table wo thought seven hundred an over estimate; but at dinner every plate had a representative; they were not up for breakfast! Of the water we cannot say much. It is taste- j less, plain, Bimple water to my palate; aqd from my experience and observation, its very \ great qualities are hard to find out. But it is universally admitted, all round, that this water is great. Go to the Springs with half a dozen friends, taste, shake your bead, look wise, de clare it excellent, and then drink six tumblers; and then back to the house and talk about the water, and they will look grave, and tell you to bring a horso affected with tho bots, they will show you what it can do. But the mountain air will almost lift you from | your feet, it is so very braciug and pure. I 1 have not had a dull feeling since 1 have been \ here. I go to bed at twelve to rise at five, and run foot-races in the mountains before break- \ fast; then ten-pins till eleven, when wc go out on the mountain read to meet the coaches, and get the Washington Telegraph, Baltimore Sun, ko. We are all on the qui vive about the Cubans; for w? to* or* for the patriot* at w*U {HI JOWWlTN. J We have to-day eight hundred persons here, and they are still coming?composed principally of Baltimoreans, Washingtoniaus, and people from the surrounding country. Capon Springs have many attractions. The mountain air is first; the accommodations are ample for one thousand; the table is very good Indeed. The mountain mutton is tho sweetest morsel that was ever rolled over your tongue; the servants are polite, and, with a little more of our friend Kikkwoop's drilling, will he all right. We learn that the President and one of his Cabinet will be nlong here soon, and this may account for tho quantity and quality of the visi ters,. We have at least twenty classes, running through all shades, from the negro to the F. F. V. Of all places in this wide world, these sum mer refiorts arc the last places to which to bring tho staroh! Every thing should bp free and easy, and as social as circumstances will admit of. Hut what is most strange in this particular is, that where you see the stiffness standing prominently out and around, by a closer in spection you will find the fabrio of the courser texture! In my next I will give you tho ball-room view, the dancing, drinking, card-playing, &c., [Communicated. | <* England our Mother Country?Let us never forget Uer." To the Editors of the American Telegraph. Gentlemen : Such was tho sentiment drunk onboard "tho Golden Gate" ou her lato plea sure trip from Annapolis to New York. Lot It be added, it was "drunk by acclamation.." Mr. Aspinwall, the wealthy owner of the boat, was its author. In the company who drank this toast, (leav ing out the ladies, who have a right to be turies whenever they please,) were the Hon. Daniel Webster, Secretary of State, Mr. Meredith, of Baltimore, Mr. Edward Curtis, of New York, the Hon. N. K. Hall, Postmaster General, Com . . modoro Perry, Dr. Wainwright, Hon. Henry C. lleartt, and others whose names are not giveu. At the time chosen for this display of humble loyalty to the " mother country," our citizens, who have been trapanned -into a visit to the World's Fair, are meeting with all kinds of in sults and humiliation in London. The citizens of the southern States, whom Daniel O'Connell said were unworthy to touch the hand of a gen tleman, (meaning himself,) are publicly assailed in the press, proscribed from tho hospitalities of the city, and caricatuicd along with their yankeo brethren, in every imaginable form, from the London Timet to runch. At tho late Muyor'B least, where representatives from the whole world "and tho rest of mpnkind" were present, no American was permitted to c n taminate the atmosphere of European, Asiatic, and African gentility there assembled. The whole current of public feeling in Great Britain towards this country, as evidenced in exory possible way, is an exhibition of concentrated envy, jealousy and malice. In the meanwhile let us not shut our eyes to the alarming fact -that her undermining movements in central America to obstruct every project of this na tion, either for the benefit of the central Ameri can States or our own, are unceasing and active. In addition, if any thing more is needed to rouse the public attention, every energy of her intrigue is put forth to tever thin Union. Whil&t the activity of northern agitators is kept alive by the visits of their black and white agents to London, where they receive (what is denied to Southerners) the attentive hospitality of Lon don, a member of Parliament is sent to our own shores to act in proper person here to stir the flames of civil discord. Tho letter of Mr. Duncan, a commissioner from Virginia, gives the last touch to the ac tions of that government. He says it is well known that England hat offered to aid South Carolina, should the secede from the Union. In the face of these continued, systematic, and atrooious insults and injuries, a company of Americans, of which the Secretary of State is chairman, and the Postmaster General iB the mover of resolutions, unite " by acclamation" to drink, in the presence of a slip of British aristocracy, tho degrading, humiliating senti ment?" England our Mother Country?Let us never forget her." That Daniel Webster should unite in the sen timent, will be a surprise to no one who recol lects his visit to London in 1840, his letter from | London withdrawing from tho Presidential can vass and throwing his weight into Gen. Harri son's scale, his subsequent appointment as Secretary of State, tho immediate mission of Lord Ashburton, and the surrender of our northeastern boundary to England. He is so | totally English in his feelings and sympathies, I that he could well preside at a meeting which would go one step farther, and drink, in pure brandy, " Her majesty Queen Victoria!" That Mr. Ilall, the Free-soil associate of ftie Free-soil president, should unite in it, is disgraceful enough, but unfortunately he has too many Northern fanatics to unite with him in any sentiment which is degrading to a high toned American feeling. Dr. Wainwright, it appears, is a D. D. He belongs to a class who should deferve public respect, and always have it when they deserve it by their conduct. Too many of his cloth have been the enemies of freedom in this coun try, from 1808 to the present day. If he is of the Osgood and Parrish tribe of 1812, or of the Theodore Parker tribe of the present day, he is a thorn in the side of freedom. If he is of the noble class of the Boardmans, Lords, Harts, and others, who have thrown the weight of character of consistent Christians into the scale of their country, then 1 will only say to him, he was "wrong shipped" on board tho Golden Gate, and should hereafter choose his company better. One name in that company stirred up patri otic recollections of the highest character. It was the name of the immortal hero of Lake Erie?a name which filled the trump of fame in 1813 with the loudest blast, when he tore from the masts of a British fleet the bloody standard of St. George, and run up the stars and strip'*# of the American Union in their st^ad; who thus opened the path to victory to tl. j veteran Governor of Kentucky, who, prompt as the lightning, seized tho opportunity, and pursued and captured, or slew, the assassins of the River Raisin and Fort Meips. I am sure he would not have received such a sentiment with acclamation. And on# in that company could be found? ' n'ot even a female voice?to whisper Its disap 1 proval of that toast. There are some recollec tions of " Our Mother'" which they, at least, should never forget. Wherever the army of I ?ngl?u4 Mt lv9t 94 ?ur tilt TTW of 3812, ami they had time and opportunity, wo man became the victim of remorseless cruelty. In the Weat, they fell with their infants, be neath the tomahawk of the allies of England, warring under her flag. At Havre-de-Grace and Hampton a worse fato befell them ; for, to the sensitive and the virtuous, death is prefer able to dishonor! At New Orleans, " Beauty and Booty"?the usual watch-word of our good old "Mother's" sons across the water?was sternly met by "Victory or Death" of the dauntless Jackson and his citizen soldiers; and on that ensanguined field were avenged a thou sand wrongs: among those wrongs none ran kled more deeply than the outrages perpetrated upon the female sex. There are recollections connected with the " mother country" which 1 trust will never be forgottenl, but they are things that do not re main in the memories of such as composed that company of the elite who dined and wined on board the Oolden Gate. But the people of this country have bettor memories. To them 1 leave the making out and preservation of a catalogue of reminiscences, which will rise up in awful array, should these nations ever meet again in mortal conflict. f Communicated.] " Ariatldeg," dfce. ' Mksshs. Editobs: Time hns not hitherto per | mittod me the opportunity of giving attention 'to the communication of "Aristides," of the ii'st ult., although but little has been required at my hands from him. In other words, his concessions were so full that, but for one or two remarks, I should not have thought the further pursuit of the subject necessary. But " Aris tides" has either forgotten a few things contained in his first communication, as well as some facts now matters of the political history of tho coun try, or else he has inclined to " dodge " some what. This correspondent avers, in his last article, that '? there need be no controversy between me (him) anu 'Michigan' (myself) rulative to what Messrs. Cass and Buel did, or did not" do in favor of the retention of " Mr. Indian Agent 8prague, tho Abolitionist, in office" in the State of Michigan. It may be so, now that " Aristides" has acknowledged that Mr. Buel has never written letters to the Secretary of the Interior for such retention, and by implication retreats from his former assertion that Gen. Cass has never done either. But his Jirst charge that both these gentlemen had written such letters, was the gist of the controversy. And when he says that " Michigan should recollect that in tho first place 1 (he) used tho statement that those gentlemen llad interested themselves to keep Mr. Sprague in office, as coming from Mr. Secretary Stuart's de fenders, and ridiculed the poor excuse thus cited for Mr. Secretary Stuart's conduct, in retain ing such an Abolitionist in office"?I say when " Aristides" affirms this, I beg Aim to "recol lect" that in his first article charging Gen. Cass and Mr. Buol with writing letters for the re storation of Mr. Sprague in office, he did not utter a word as to what Mr. Secretary Stuart's defenders were doing with the alleged letters of these two gentlemen. Not a word. He made the assertion by interrogation, and then went on to give the reason why Gen. Cass and Mr. Buel had written those alleged letters, in order to "divide and distract the Whig party of Michigan," "Aristides" conceives still his "strictures upon Mr. Buel's letter to have been legiti mate." I cannot conceive how, unless he ima gines that Generel Cass has placed his reputa tion in Mr. Buel's keeping?where I confess it would be safe; a thing which, I am sure, " Aristides" does not believe, if he knows as' much about Gen. Cass's way of "doing politi cal things" as he would have the public believe. I know of but ono man here of high standing in the political scale of this country, who has ever allowed himself to be thus '(caged" de puting his thoughts, actions, and keeping to others. I will not now mention his name ; but if " Aristides" will revert back to the year 1840 when a certain Whig General of Ohio was a candidate for the Presidency, he will know to ? whom I refer. I doubt not General Cass does not desire any person to deny, defend, or affirm his conduct, who lives so near him that it would be as much trouble for them to do so as it would bo to him. Mr. Buel, then, as I re marked in my former article, spoke for himself himself only; further, as he correctly con ceived, lie had no legitimate right to speak. No obligation, at all events, rested upon hfm to do so. And his denial of the allegation, so far as he was concerned, I suspect is all that " the public" have asked at his hands. "Can dor," on the part of the public, and of " Aris- ? tides," should have asked nothing more. ? As to what General Cass's course was in re lation to the various appointments of the Presi dent requiring the confirmation of the Senate, I know him to have acted upon the purest and most patriotic grounds. The Compromise ques tion was, during both sessions of the last Con gress, as "Aristides" well knows, the great question at issue. The President was hemmed in by armies on both hands?by the fire-eaters of the South on the one side, and by the Seward faction of the North on the other?all opposed to tho Compromise measures. Between these two extremes existed the patriotic conservators of the nations, who, for the sake of the Union and its peace, becamc, for the time, divested of party feeling, and who opposed any embarrass ment of tho Administration in theperformanec of its functions: hence this conservative and intermediate body of men, L>emocrats and Whigs, among the former of whom, and most prominent., too, stood Gen. Cass, who voted for the confirmation of the nominees of the Presi dent for the various offices, among whom were those mentioned by "Aristides" in his last communication. It was the patriotic desire to preveut embarrassment to the Kxecutivo head of the Government in those dangerous tifnes, j which prompted many of the votes confirming nomination's mado to the Senate, and for these noble motives no lash of censure should be held .over men who thus, like true lovers of the Union, sacrificed party and personal feeling to its peace. 1 should have thought that "Aristides" would have foi borne to venturo upon the slippery plank which ho has trodden upon, and n gainst which I warned him in my article of the 30th But forgetting that " to be forewarned is to be forearmed," he confidently steps upon it. and pronounces the two Whig members of Congress elect from Michigan " Union Whigs." If I had time, I should like to discuss with "Aristides" the question of the title of these two Whig* elect in Michigan to the noble cognomen of "Union Whigs." Mr. Seward pronounces him self &"Union man." So does R. Barnwell I Bhftu Tb? Utij 2fri>?ni Mid tit Wwb; /
