 Johnson County, Ark. ] DR. BoRLAND-Dear Sir: PresumiHg that you, and your numerous readers, might be interested in a description of these springs, which have been recently discovered, de- vote a leisure moment to a sketch of them, fer your columns.

 These springs are situated in a narrow val ley, watered by clear cold stream from the mountains, which are one or two thousand feet high. The scenery is truly picturesque and beautiful. They are on the waters oi Little Pney, in an excellent neighborhood, where all kinds. of provisions can be had in abundance, and cheap. There is a good grist mil, within a mile and a half, owned by BIr. Russell, who lives a mile from the springs, and Is prepared to accommodate a number of persons, with board, Sc Mir. Freed, aud a number oi other families, live about the same distance, and will accommodate visiters with board, and take care of horses, on good terms. There are now here nearly fle0 hRadrcd per- sons, living in cabins hastily erected for that purpose. itis in contemplation, by the citi- zens of the comfy, to enter the land, by a joint stock company, and allow all persons, who will build, to use the water free of charge and to erect one house for yisiters from a distance.

 Persons visiting these springs, by water, william at Spadra from whence they can be provided with conyeyances, at any time, over good road all the way out

 During my stay, have visited the cele- brated Pilot Rock Mountain, distant few miles, in company with some ladies, and a. bachelor friend. About 10o'elock, we com menced the ascent, on horseback; at half-past eleven, we came in full view of the Rock, about 300 yards distant We now dsmounl- eel from our horses, and continued the ascent on loot, In half an hour, we reached the top. Here, one of the most magniGcentscenes was presented to our view, we had ever be- held, We were standing on Rock, which rose Sscenty or eig6ty feel from the main body of tine Mountain, and was nearly per- pendicular on all sides. This rock is. on it's upper surface, about l50 yards long, andabout 70 wide, IS almost bare of vegeiation, and is cut across by a number of Assures running at right angles A our feet, lay Little Piney, dotted with farms; the Arkansas river could, be seen at several points, from one of which rose up the smoke of q steamboat. On the south, was Magazine Mountain, which pre- sehts similar aspect from all quarters; and, on the North, East, and West, was one con uhuous range of Mountains, rising, one above anotheg' iii height, until fading from view in the distance.

 After spending an hour, in delighted con- of this parivaled scenery, at one o'clock, we commenced our descent; passing through a succession of beautiful Chinoae- pm and Beech groves. Here We gathered some ei those delicious grapes, which grow n such abundance in many of themountain- ous portions of Arkansas, Having carved our names on some of the noble Beech frees, we once more sought Inc springs, where we
