Messrs ' JJtlitorsi-j-Ovsmg; to tho" lack of accommodation at the Springs., and :tiie unusual large number of visitors here this season, a goodly- number of them have had to stop at Dimbury a distance of 21 miles I from the Springs. Banbury, the county site or fetoKes is situated on the south side and immediately on the banks of Dan river, "it is quite old in appearance and ns there seem to be no Impro vement going on I suppose it is iinished! There are about 300 inhabitants I fifyould think judging from the si'.e of the place, it nas.no IMayor or other town' officers, and is-what is known iu mei cantilQ circles "a dry toiai." There are three stores' of gener al merchandise, one Drug Store one church, (Methodist) and 2 Hotels that have accommoda tcil as many as .500 visitors this season. The adage "it never rains but it pours," was veri fied here last evening for it was indeed a glorious rain accom panied with vivid "Hashes of lightning and deafening thun der, an much to the delight and profit of the tillers of the soil as to tliei chagrin and vexation of tha. visitors here, in fact the refreshing showers h ere for the pas't week made vegetation look richer and the cereal crops more promising. The moun tains Jok grander and more beautiful this summer than ev er before, and I enjoy the pleas ure this morning as I write of beholding in reality the cloud capped nioun tains so often and so graphically described by. prose and poetic authors, but the clouds have rolled by and the bright sunshine of to-day removes all feelings of depres sion and the scene has changed as if by magic from one oi gloom and dulness' to one of bright nesand vivacity as indi cated by the sunshine faces you seo on" everv side and tho ! groups of merry and happy jCnilviren IU W Wii m uiucinu places enirawl in their frolic- irr- and innocent plays. To those who contemplate visiting the mountain resorts, either for pleasure or recreation i or ; for health and restoration, I would say that they have every enjoy ment here which the pleasure seeker can desire m the way oi buggy drives and scenery and every xrniise of improvement and restoration for the invalid, in the pare and invigorating at mosphere ; and the wonderful health restoring -irtues -of these celebrated mineral waters, and last but not least,-man v beauti ful blushing maidens, from all over North Carolina and Ya., whose bright eves and bewitch mg smiles have made captives of many young and handsome gents. Amon the sterner sex we have worth v and distin- v guished members of the bar, medical and commerci tl pro fessions. But I must tell vou of a trip to foore's Knob and Cascade yesterday at 1 o'clock a party of four gentlemen and three ladies (among whom I am was two of Jieids- cille's fair and one 'equally at tractive lrom Jamestown, iS. C.) started to k'MooreV Knob" a dis tance of five miles from Piedmont, determined not to be outdone bv previous parties, bat to -have as good time as possible. .'The . as cant of course was slovr for as it turned out to be five of us who had never been up, the route was very steep, rocky, and winding, with many trees fallen across, al though we did not go near any Irish clift's, vt the path was so dangerous in some places that a fall of one of the horses might have met with serious consequen ces, -several t imes it was 'necessa ry to dismount, llow shall 1 des-i cribe the scenery and a trilling feeling arising lrom penetrating a dense forest'; to do them justice would require Ihe efforts of one who could weild the pen with a more masterly hand than I. Here the Balsam and Spruce pine grow in great abundance, looking 'foesh and green, which stands as silent sentinels oi a for est that has not vet succumbed to the blow of the- woodman's axe. Upward and upward the mounted party went, breathing a purer air experiencing a cooler atmosphere and riding over a more difficult path than during the llrst half of the ascent. Such was the scenery and with many a "shriek . fro jn the timid"1 we reached the top. And now what a scene was presented to the eye? how grand? how won derful in extent? how unnotori ous. "Who. shall describe it? oh! for a poet to describe it. Innumer able peaks, sileiit sentinels for untold centuries, speak to mor tals tell whence ye came and what your destiny. Thou father of the Allegaiies,'that containest with in thy bosom the mortal remains of the honored and unforgotten dead, dost thou in all thy unmeas .u red mass hold a burden more precious! As I gazed from the rugged height, (which caused the '"timid to shriek".) 1 breathed a sigh to think in soolh that my own "home sweet H03IE," was 2700 ft. below me. Here too we can see in the vallev 20uO feet below as the ikpi acid" waters of the Dan which seem to be quietly sleeping. iIiut in order to take in Cascade, 1 time warns us that we must begin descending over t he same nigged path for an hour and a half we are at Cascade.

"Yes," said a sharp-faced 1, -'and we hear nothing all day but the click, click, and clank, clank of the big presses, except when the whistle blows or the dinner bell rings or the chil dren play before the windows." "How l wish we might .play like the .children," broke in a jolly capital B, whose fat cheeks were puffed out like two round apples. ! "Why notf cried little cross legged x, from one end of the line. "Lefs play hide-and-seek." And big T clapped his hands for joy, while long-tailed LahdR'vrfcrgled in delight at the idea. So the figure 9 was chosen for seeker, because he could count most; and then the long-necked f and the fat w and the tall, lean I and fcigzaz z, and oven the queer little periods and straight dashes, 'scampered olf us fast as they could to hide. They dodged around the cor ner of the page, and then slipped up behind the 9 when he was looking the other way. And they laughed and shouted as if they were having a line time, whe suddenly they heard the ruff-voiced 'foreman' tell the oig pressman to - Iock up the form and put it in the press. Now the tvpes were afraid of the big pressman, for he pinch- t lit 'At 1 . "I ect tnemwim snarp niTpers ana struck them on the head with a biz wooden hammer.

As a necro man passed the house of Pink Cherry, iiCa tawl)a Springs township, lie heard the agonized cries of a child. On going into the house he found Cherry's two oldest children holding the youngest upon the floor and applying a red-hot iron to its naked" body. The body of the poor victim was covered with terrible wounds inflicted by the hot -iron which had also. been? thrust down its throat.. Cherry is a" brutal negro who was arrested for beating one of his children nearly to death some time ago. ; : Our correspondent states that it is generally belived that tho two older children were-persuaded tot murder the- youngest which they would hare done had not the man come upon the scene just when he did.
