! In calling the attention of the public to these
Springs, as a watering place, the siibscnber takes ,,c
sion to remark, that ihey are no new ihseovrrv, al
though unknown to the distant public until the last
I lew years. For many years they have never tailed
to have more visitors Irom the surrounding conn
try than the improvements could comfortably accom
modale, who will leaddy testily la their medicinal
virtuca.
Having erected a large iSc commndioiia Hotel, with
a nil m lie ■ of good trained Cabins. I am nmv prepared
to entertain a much larger company with mure com
fort.
The water has liecn analyzed, and found to con
tain the essential ingredients, sulphur, soda (in ail
unusual proportion) and magnesia; and the subscri
ber can say with the fullest confidence, that if certi
ficates nffacts were required they can be obtained of
many individuals, whose expeneuce of their viilues
enables them to say that they arc unsurpassed by
any water in Virginia, for most of the diseases com
mon to our climate—In cases of confirmed dyspepsia,
or less deranged condition of the stomach and
bowels, in piilinunary nr liver diseases, more panic,
ularly the latter—in all diseases of general dehi’dy
whatever—and peculiarly for delicate females anil
children, these waters will be found possessed of
remedial virtues of certainly lare cllicacv. For ihis
fact the highest authority among the medical faculty
section of the country can he nffered, as wi il
as the heller evidence id lull and ample teals by indi
viduals from actual experience.
Having heard heretofore, much complaint of tin*
road from Lynchburg to this place, I am authorized
to sav that the contractor on the Lynchburg and
Huffaloe Springs Turnpike Road will complete the
worst parts of said road by the middle of July, and
thereby make it all good, so that my friends disposed
| to visit me will have no difficulty on that score.
The season will again commence mi the 15th of
June. The subsciiber. grateful for past patronage
I both from his old friends and strangers, again invites
| them to visit him. with the assuiance on his par
that no pains shall be spared to render the visit agree
| able.
It w ill be observed, that the rates of Hoard are
lower than at any oilier watering place in Virginia,
viz :
Hoard per week, §>7 00

(£/*" 1 subjoin below a communication received
from Physicians who have visited these waters, and
have had opportunities of judging of their efficacy
in must of the diseases above mentioned. Since that
time, other physicians of eminence have visited them
and would most cordially subscribe to the opinions
curtained in this communication. The unsurpassed
healthiness of situation, salubrity of climate, and
beauty of scenery, superadd additional iiidiioetm nts
to the valetudinarian for giving a trial to these in

I have hern requested to irmly my experience ol

have repeatedly used it, mil besides the good effects
unon my general health, I found it peculiarly ellica

Messrs. J. <V A. f ampbell — Having lor several
seasons visited your justly celebrated springs, and
having uniformly derived much advantage from the
use ol the water, I cheerfully add my testimony to
its viitues, both that other individuals may profit as
I have done by the use ol the water, and that yon may
in some measure be rewarded for the expe nsive nn
provementd and excellent accommodations you have
made and provided. My diseaseis chronic liver al
lection, accou p lined with rough ami dyspepsia.—
The water uniformly appeals to the liver, with gen*
tie action on the bowels ; improves appetite and di
gestion, and produces a general tonic rlfect on the
whole system. I feel well satisfied that I am indebt
ed to a large extent to the vutur of the Alum Spring,
for a considerable portion of the health and comfort
I have enjoyed since I tried its efficacy. This state

nn. Cl I AN NI \(PS ItKI’LY TO MIC CLAY
ON AIIOI.ITION.
\\re wish to say a few wonls oil this pamphlet, in
eouiieetion with the course of a political party in io
fetence to Mr. Ciw. We weie satisfied, at the
tune nt tin- pei».u.il. that it would provoke rsply. mid
that the giant leader of Northern opinion would be |
summoned to the work. Mr. Cl.Alf’s speech was
ton high and solemn a document to p.ns without com
merit,-—Us moving appeal to the patriotism and no
brines* ol the nation was unbroken, its force iiuabiit
ed bv any tinge ol paitv or admixture of self. It
explicitly liees the present Piesident Irotn any bl hoc
at this time on the<|tic«tinn. Mr. Cl tv mi fact tall \
the w ide scope and deep inipni lance « I the insim* pie
■oiited to his eoiiNidrration ; lie did not speak lor ill**
present moment —he knew that the well considered
words which he then uttered, would reach posleiui. |
and fix Ins rank as a man and a statesman. lie
spoke as one possessed of a large reputation, who h
he might forever bankrupt, with Christendom for an J
audience, and posterity f«»r judge. Whoever has
read this spearh iniisi have tieeu struck with the pro
found calm and depth id its tone; there is no i x |
citcmctil — no parade—noifoluneal adoitnuetu ; the
or >t I or sinks he lore the magnitude oft lie theme, and

Who would believe, after lliis, that tin re ate those

in the power of the men who diivc the plough to

given the first lebuke to ihis dishonest libel; the men
of the soil, m honest North Carolina, will soon give

that Mr. (’lay will ride out this gale ol detiaction; we
are confident that tin? great and good man, who has
been in the laborious service of his country for ihir
tv years,tV who during that lime,has met all the high

The contest w hich has just terminated in Virgi I
ma. I as been one of unwonted violence. That j
which was barely tolerated by public opinion in our
.Stale in the levolutmuary time of Null fie.Hi n, has
distinguished this political bailie. The President ol

mittee. 'i’ll® District Judge of the United States
Court, and several Judges of tile State wi re nxnu
lieisof the Van Buren Convention, and it found its 1
President in the President Judge ol the Appeal Court.
This interference of the great officers of Government,
and especially of J udges is of the very worst character.
A Politician Judge, like a Politician Priest, is amor
