The Editor intends the Washington Mirror to present an accurate view of things in general, as they are of weekly and daily occurrence in the metropolis of the United States.

Original Articles on Political, Literary, and Local Subjects. Contributions from litera ry correspondents will appear under this head; also, occasionally, original biography, political or literary observations by the Editor. 2d. Washington Corresuondence. Under this head the Editor will endeavor to lay before his readers the elite of those political and literary epistles, which appear, from time to time, in the principal newspapers of the Union, and which are known to emanate from men of talents and information, whose special business it is to note down'passing events, to portray the characters of our leading politicians, ^nd to “ catch the manners living us they rise” ofthose distinguish ed characters who resort to, and reside in, this great metropolis. Some original letters will oc casionally appear under this head. 3d. Miscellaneous. In this department will be found choice extracts bom new and popular publications, with occasional criticisms; original anecdotes; facetia*. &c. 4th. Original ana Select Poetry. 5th.

The Editor offers this outline, that the public may form a tolerably correct idea of the nature and plan of the Washington Mirror. He, how ever, reserves to himself the discretionary right of meandering occasionally into the flowery and untrodden paths of science and literature, not adverted to in this prospectus, according ascir cumstances, inclination, or the suggestions of literary friends, may seem to require. Advertisements for the cover will be thank fully received. Conditions: The Washington Mirror will be published every Saturday evening, on good pa per and type.

Every attention will be paid for the accommo dation of those who may visit this Spring. The situation possesses many advantages,—located five miles west of Winchester, in a healthy and agreeable neighborhood, remote from any wa ter course. The property has undergone a tho rough repair; nearly all the buildings are new, and sufficient room to accommodate about 75 persons. The water is highly medicinal, hav ing stood the test for 25 or 30 years. Many re spectable certificates could be procured, were it necessary, to prove the value of this water. In dyspepsia, diarrhea, affections of the liver, cu taneous affections, suppressed perspiration, de bility, and many other diseases to which the hu man system is subject, this water, upon a fair trial, l hope, will not be less efficacious than any sulphur water whatever. The accommodations shall be equal to any other watering place; the most trusty servants provided, and our table shall be furnished with the best our markets af ford. I trust that a few weeks can be agreea bly and profitab y spent at this Spring. There is a Shower Bath of sulphur water, and a Warm Bath for invalids. This Spring is but one day’s travel from Baltimore and the District; the stage passes it three times a week, from Harper’s Fer ry, by way of Charlestown. It is, also, but one day’s travel from Bath and Capon. Boarding only 36 per week, or 41 per day for a less time; children and servants lialfprice. Dinner 50cts; breakfast and supper 37 1 2 cents.
