The mountain falls back rather in tables, and pro- bably upwards of one half mile to the summit but it is not more than four or five hundred feet high, perpendicular. The springs are of different mineral tastes, some of their sedi- ments are black or green, some red and some white, and they are of variety of tempera- ture, from those that are sufficiently hot to cook eggs or scald hoggs, down to cold water Some cold and hot springs are so near togeth CT that one is able to put one hand in each at the same time-the largest and probably the hottest affords sufficient water to turn an over shot mill. Owing to the want of legal rights to the land, the improvements as yet are ve- " temporary, and although the site has been selected for the seat of Justice for the county of Hot Springs, still there is not yet any pub l lie building erected and the improvements consist of 12 or 15 cabins, of hewed pine logs, board roofs, loose plank and puncheon floors, board doors, some of them with chimneys of wood with stone backs and jams. Boarding, SS 50 toS4 co; keeping horse upon corn alone, S2 50 per week. In addition to the cabins there are four sweat and five bath houses; the sweat houses are either wood or stone covered with boards made tight, floors of small polls, upon ,si.i-il n-st,,; sp r-e,r,ain;,.n ii, ono of them few minutes, the heat and steam arising from the hot water passing along the poles or floor will put one into protuse per sDiration, and it is continued as long as he deems it necessary, some 10, 15, or 20 mi nutes, according to the weather or closeness of the house. Some of the baths are of plank and some dug out of timber, others are scrap ed out in the rock near to the spot where the spring issues cut of the mountain, all are tenn pered by letting str am constantly run in, more or less at time. In the latter part of the season the gentlemen prefer bathing i'll the deep holes in the creek, as 1t IS then ot a fine agreeable temperature, and they are eX- cluded from view by the thick growth of small trees and bushes along the margr-the

 

 T in the morning and take a sweat in the eve ming. A skillful physician could, with afew years experience here, effect cures that are elsewhere considered incurable-but under the present regulation, which is equivalent to none at all, they must sink in re putation. The present proprietor knows but little about them, and less about medicine, and therefore is badly calculated to instruct any one that comes.- Strangers on arriving, have to inquire ot those who preceded them how to act, most all proceed differently scarcely any two alike. Formerly when thirty or forty persons waited here for their breakfast till the hunter went out and killed the meat for them. and when they got it had but little if any bread to eat with it, or any thing else, there were three cures performed to one at present,-and eve ry year. as they increase in the use of strong diet and ardent spirits, the cures decrease. Those who have the longest experience re- commend an attentive use of the hot springs. By using the hot water constantly, the patient is very much reduced. The hot water is us ed for sweating, bathing, drinking and cook ing. To drink it, it must stand and cool { little-souie 1t get entirely cold; Tn either state, it is quite pleasant and sweet Some when they retire from the hot springs, go tc a sulphur spring, 40 miles N. w. of this place, some to a sulphur spring miles, both on tnelf road to Llttle ROCK; WnllSt others a. gain go to a chalybeate spring miles N. of this, (which is very fine one) or else to the woods, and remain about two or three weeks, then return to the bathing and sweating, and so on alternately, every two or three weeks, during the season.

 Edrard Lyttlelon Bulrer.-The Editor ofthe Phi ladelphia Gazette from whom learn that this po- pular novests but twenty seven years off age, pub fishes the following extract from one ofhis letters in Saturdays paper:

 ''I have long nursed an ardent desire" says the author of Pelham 'o visit the country you describe \ with so much ardor;-which your great men have already rendered classical and your institutions sa cred. iavorte project with me is to visit that country with the intention to do it justice and am sure that justice, however qualified with the censure from which nothing earthly can escape, will on the whole, be the justice of admiration. But the aspect of public affairs in England in which am at thi, present time deeply nerested,is confused and om inous, that cannot guess when shall be able to execute scheme 1have so nearly at heart. Ian convinced that should I ever behold America, my present prepossessions will be confirmed by actua experience"
