WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1868
BEriFORD simigGs.
Before us was fimip'of Pennsylvania, show
ing an extent of territory nearly as large as
the whole of England, and fully one-fourth
more extensive than the area of Ireland or
Scotland. A fertile land is there marked out,
abounding in agricultural and mineral Wealth,
rich in every natural product which can bo re
''qUired.for the wants, the comforts, and even
the luxuries of life , -and richer in, that
,breadth of•intellect, that steadiness of indus
try, that energy of enterprize, that free spirit
of liberty, political as well as personal, which,
happily combined, constitute a' groat people.
Above all other men, a citizen-dweller in the
Keystone State may exclaim, in the strong
words of SMOLLETT,
" Thy spirit, Independence, let me !hare,
Lord of be lion-heart and eagle-eye;
Thy steps r follow with ray bosom bare,
Nor heed the stOrm 'that howls along the Sky 1,
The map lay wide•spread upon
a the table
and we, who desired to ruraliie fot• few days
anxiously looked over it, to pick out the very
best place for our purpose—a plaCt whore,
though in the heart of the countryiwo should
bo within easy access of the city ; where we
might almoit "breathe the difficult air of the
iced mountain top," even while basking in
the summer-beauty of the, vale beneath; whore
health might bo rerfewed ; where the cares and
troubles of this working-life could readily be
laid aside; whore choice society could cheer
and gratify us; in a word, some place very
unlike that stupendous and ostentatious hnni
bug, Saratoga, with its 12-by-9 bedrooms,
its scrambling meals, Its miserable attempts at
cosmopolitanism, its "changes of fashionable
raiment six .times a day, Its chance-medley
crowd of visitors, its groat pretence and very
limited fulfilment. We required a place,
within our, own State, if possible, where mind
and body could alike recuperate, and where the
enjoyments would not, as in many other lo
calities of public resort, bo the repetitions of
fitful and' feverish city dissipation.
We carefully examined the map, and de
cided upon going to Bedford Springs, in
,the
South of the State, with tho Alleghanies on
on ono side, while Maryland is in view upon
the other. Wo made our 'choice upon what
we had hoard from numerous friends, upon
what we read in several books.
As it ii: desirable to have some previous
Isi‘wledge of a Theo, We looked into many
volumes. But a great book, said the old
Greek, is a great evil. Wo simply put into
ono pocket Dr. BELL'S bandy little volume or:
the mineral and thermal springs of the United
Status and Canada, (published' by PArtity &
MoMILLArf, so lately all 1855,) and into the
other that remarkable medley of extensive
knowledge and curious mannerism, the speci
men•pamphlot of Dr. R. M. S. nom :ores
comprehensive and learned volume, speedily
to be published, under.title of a The Moun
tain." And hero we give a little "advice
gratis," as follows : lat. Never burthon your
self on a tour, with any but an actually neces
sary book; and, 25. If you go to a watering
place take BELL and JACKSON to your bosom,
as we did, and between them you can readily
form a pretty accurate opinion of the compara
tive merits of mineral and thermal springs in
this country. BELL is best for general re
ference; norrsoN for scientific information.
To those who visit Bedford Springs from
either extremity of the State, the best route
is that supplied by the Pennsylvania railway,
with , rittsburich as one startinie.wiar,
delpbta as the other: We wonld• take Hun
tingdon as the middle station—nearer - to
Pittsburgh than to Philadelphia, but undoubt
edly
_the near4ll. travelling poiht, that is of
moat facile aarras t to the Springs, which are
thus brought within the compass of a• day's
not very diffioult travel—of very delightful
travel; ,indeed, if you bavo a taste for ex
quisitely beautiful scenery.
. -
On, frail - Philadelphia, rapidly leaving West
Chester on the left, Gashing" through thriving
Downington, and other prosperous places in
the beautiful and fruitful Chester county lime
stone valley; thence emerging, we come into
Lancaster county, as well 'cultivated as if its
farms wore gardens; on, through Lancaster
city; on, on, until, at Middletown, we come
close to the beautiful Susquehanna,- a river
celebrated in eon& and story, in legend and
romance. Studded with fair islands, the
stream flows gracefully in an opposite direc
tion to 'that wo are taking, and will lose itself,
by-and-bye, in the welcoming waters of Che
sapeake; Bay. On, still on, until we- find our
selVes at Harrisburg, the State capital; ploft
santly situated and neatly built. We have ac
complished over ono hundred miles, without
even the faintest suspicion of fatigue creeping
over us. ' '
You remember, of counts; how admiringly
Pyrtori spoke of 44 that tocsin of the soul, the
dinner-ball." We pause ter half an hour . :—
consider us at dinner, and then returning to
the car, invigorated, refreshed, and feeling
that general charity towards mankind which a
good_ meal of any description, taken -at any
time, doth inevitably Impart—to all except in
digesting, atra•bilious individuals, afflicted by
the torturer Dyspepsia.
Still by the side of the gentle Susquehanna
—how soft and musical are. these Indian
names, and how barbarously modern "taste"
errs. in Rot sacredly preserving them I—and,
presently after leaving Harrisburg, wo cross a
very stupendous bridge nearly 4,000 feet long,
spanning the river, which is there is very
broad. Now wo come into mountain scenery.
River and canal upon ono side, and the eternal
hills uptin the other, through Perry county.
Whirled over Sherman's Creek, swiftly roll,
we had nearly said rush, the cars, so rapid is
their:flight. Soon, a little beyond Duncan
non, we take our leave of the Susquehanna—
just where the romantic Juniata, after gliding
her long and windidg course among the distant
mountains, gently joins her statelier sister.
Henceforth, for a lon'g way, our course is by
the side of, fair and romantic Juniata. Pass
ing still onward, we pass by the Tuscarora
Mountain, our railway path being by its base.
Still onward, and after we cross .the Blue
Ridge, encountering beautiful scenery all
along, with the gentle Juniata constantly gli—
ding on ono side, while the hills raise their
grandeur on the other, wo come close to the
Broad Top Mountain, literally a reservoir of
coal, and are landed, at last, at Il untingdon,
oyor 200 miles from Philadelphia.
At Zeigler's hotel, we realize tho truth of
Shenstone's.quatrain :
Whoe'er has travelled life's dull round,
v, tower hie various tour has been,
May sigh to think how oft be found
- His warmest welcome at an inn."
' But not even that warmest welcome Cell de
tain us tiow.' lien, we have Mr. BaUCE PE
;mum: at our side; earnestly entreating us to
remain for even a single evening in Hunting
don, coaxingly urging us to drive out and visit
the Thermal eprlngs In Stone Valley, near the
fotiM, and . , 'at last, when he saw that we .wero
bent , on going forward, hurrying us into the
caiy which, by thO Huntingdon Broad Tap
isiliOad, Was-to take us on to,Hopewell, which
is : Within twenty miles of Bedford. So wo
giive him a parting benison and got upon a
now track. •'
Connected as•it is with the Great Central
alleti4on whiO we travelled over since we
left Philadelphia—a line, by the way, remarha-
'bit !tee from dust—we
,iind the liuntingdon

PHILADELPHIA.; WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1858.
. ,
Arrived at Hopewell, almost a the base of
the Bread Top Mountain, ivo enter it stage
,coach—one of the old war
ranted to carry, nine inside, and, any..amount
of luggage. We roach the village cd; Moody
Run, which is about half ,way to &Ilford,
travelling on plank.road and ththpike; over a
mountain district, With patches of lind 'bete
and there admirably cultivated, and switches
of lovely scenery over now and then break : .
log on the view. We had a. glorious moon
light, and therefore could enjoy the beantleti
of nature.
But the journey from Hopewell to Belotif
is a drawback, after all. Were there a rail
road, (which we see marked out on HmtiEs's
County Map of Pennsylvania), the Spiings
would speedily put Saratoga verylnucli out
of account. Facility of access is the', dne
thing, the only thing wanted, and the plalic
spirit of Bedford county, largely as' the whole
district benefits by the great expenditureiat
the Springs; ought to be up and stirrinpto
construct tho' connecting railway to Hopertoll.
Philadelphia, we are sure, would gladly retclur .
substantial obi to such an undertaking. 'lt
Must be done, and the sooner the better.
At length, Bedford, the county town,,lsen
tered. It looks respectable and neat, viith
Its wide streets and many handsome chumina.
A mile and a half yet farther, taking a south;
ernly bend—and,Just as we fancy that ;)pt
Jelin (no allusion to the old hack (hr.
Jones) means to drive as to the world's end, so
completely is the place shut in by surrounog:
wood-crowned bills, we find ourself safely,
landed at the Bpiings. !
In front of the hotel the fountain sende4p
Its tiny thread of water; with a soft and go o
sound; the aspens quiver in the silvery ;ride
light; the heavens, blue and beantlfal;,-;:cre
studded with starry gems; every thing sous
placid and soothing—except the exclamatiche
of the attendant darkies, as,. with unnecessary
noise and bustle, they take out the luggag),
and pretend to, be dreadfully fatigued by tin
exertion.
A moment's pause to secure' our rooms—i
little delay for refreshments after the daY":
journey—a calm enjoyment of Bram,t)
, 6 sublime tobacco," In guise' of a good lllr
vane—and, as With one impulse,' all of us rust
out to 'the Mineral Spring. Eagerly the
living waters aro drank , in, and repeatedly' 's
the draught renewed. And then, It beirg,
midnight by this time, we go to bed.
We aro not going 'hero to give a rogultr
description of Bedford Springs. That wolf&
be to travel tither largely out of 'the recoil.
But we will tell what wo observed during a
visit, which was nodessarily very brief. Then
are numerous Springs. The principal,•calhd
Anderson's, Is a saline Chalybeate, deriviig
slightly aperiontpowers from a largo civantly
of sniphato of magnesia, commonly' callid
Epsom salts, which is also the principal cm
stituent of the Cheltenham waters in piglattl,
so efficacious for the cure of bilious and 41-
peptic complaints, of cutaneous affections aid
renal ailments., It alsticontains a little km.
But, the Cheltenham water is disagreeabV
bitter, while that from Anderson's Spring it
pleasant to thelatite,Und rendered additional)i
palatable by the presence of some carbonic
acid gas which gives it what may be called
a brisk and lively taste.
The water in Fletcher's Spring varies from
Anderson's as holding in solution, more mu
riato of soda and iron, and loss magnesia.
Its taste is a trifle more saline, and its medical
application I* like Anderson's—perhaps it
may be slightly more tonic.
There aro also a' limestone spring, two
springs of very pure, sweet water, one chaly
beate, and one, here called a sulphur spring,
but really almost Identical with the famous
Harrow spla watare_of Enrlvtd.-. - This ,chstr,
beat°, which possesses what Ur. Samuel Wel
ler' called w a taste of cold flat-irons," seems
too much neglected. If it were properly col
lected into a well, at easy access to all, it
would be.much better than allowing it, as at
present, to run across the road. The Sulphur
Spring is strongly impregnated with sulphu
rotted hydrogen, with an infusion of purgativt;
salMand a little iron. It more closely reeem
blot the Harrowgato water than any'we have
yet tasted. In England, scarcely any mineral
water Is more highly estimated than that of
Harrowgate. In rheumatic scorbutic cases, it
la bold to be nearly a specific, and its altera
tive and `tonic powers are also great. Many
thousands of
,bottles of Harrowgate water are
sent to all parts of England every year, So
highly is it estimated. if we might say it,
the Sulphur Spring at Bedford Is just as good.
From Bedford Springs, every season, a large
quantity of the water , from Anderson's Well is
sent to various places in barrels and demi
johns. The, Sulphur Spring water does not
well bear transport, except in bottles.
The Belford water, from the sweet or limo
springs, is excellent for ordinary drinking. If
Aim:noon's bo need, and any apprehension
oust that it may bo too cold for the stomach,
the Instant remedy , is the aldition of what our
friend Major Wi t TBON calls wthe pure vernacu
lar."
• The curious point about Bedford Springs is
that so many different kinds pf mineral watt),
are . found so close to each other. It arisen
from the geological construction of the land,
different strata supplying different waters.
Little more than half a century has passel
since the medicinal properties of the Bedfort
Springs were discovered. The same story It
related of nearly all such places, and probably
it is true of each that accident, rather that •
scientific enquiry, gave the knowledge. Im.
mediately after the discovery, at Bedford,
many health-sookorS visited these waters, aid
wore attended, we believe, by the late U.
- Virtual! WaTsott, whose son now resides at
Bedford, and from his professional ability,
agreeable manners, and amiable dispoaitlon,is
deservedly held in the highest estimation 'y
the visitors.
The Springs at Bedford now belong to a
proprietary company or association, WllOlO
affairs aro admirably administered. The Di
rectors are S. P. L. ANDERSON, Esq., Presi
dent; CEonaw H. SIIOENDERGER, Esq., Pitts--
burgh; N. B. HoOO, Ohio; JODN CESSIA,
Esq., A. Kix°, Esq., W. T. DAUGRIERTT;EaI. )
THOMAS and 11. LYONS, Esqs., with Jourr P.
REED, Esq., as Secretary. •Of those gerille
men, ono in particular has visited Mao
Springs for the last twenty.seven years. Wo
allude to Mr. SROENDERGER, of Pittsburgh.
We can bear personal testimony to the ad
mirable manner in which thoao gentlemen take
care that their vast establishment at tho
'Springs shall be fully available for the com
forts and enjoyments of the numerous visitors.
At this moment, the President of the United
States is at the Springs, which have Won a
favorite summer resort to him for many years
past. Ho appears much attached to thoplaCe,
and will derive benefit,• no doubt, from the
comparative calm and quietude ho now en
joys there.
The visitors come from various parts of the
Union—chiefly, from Pennsylvania, bat also
from Maryland, Ohio, Washington, Nov York,
and New Jersey, Occasionally, England is
represented in this place—a sort of reproduc
tion of the Happy Valley, in tt Rasselas."
The Springs lie in the centre of an amphi
theatre formed by the hills. The summit of
ono of therm, called Constitution Hill, Is
reached by an excellent serpentine walk, and
-the view, from a Bummer-house at the top, Is
very lovely, over the Valley of Bedford. From
a hill immediately opposite, back of the hotel,
a different, but scarcely less charming, pros
pect is obtained. There are some good car
riage drives, including one into Bedford, a
borough as clean and neat as if it bad come
fresh out a band-box—like a maiden's wedding
dress. ,
Though located in a valley, we found the
air at Bedford Springs fresh as well as pure.
Pedestrian elerciao is greatly affected, and
the gravelled wallui, which hero abound, are
pleasantly studded with aeata at all conve
nient resting places.
The hotel is a sort of wonder. Indeed, at
the Springs, every building .belongs to or is
connected with the hotel. As it is, as many
as four hundred guests can bo accommodated,
, and the placg b is growing larger every season.
A recent addition, in the ornamented villa
style, is of brick, four stories high, and admi
rably fitted up. The ball-room Is a noble
apartment, In which, .for health sake, there
ought to he dancing every, evening. The re
ception, and drawing-rooms are also Worth
notice, and the dining.roorawould be consid
ered very large even in a vast city.
The dining-room I That brings us to the
Tuisine. We have the good fortune to eschew
epicurean fancies, but the - mutton-chops
which we incorporated into our system, some
three tithes a day, with the exquisitely-cook
ed chickens,
Will long keep their memory green In our soul."
Of baths and such things—of various amuse.

we bear testimony to tho comfort-conferring
manner in which the Hotel is managed by Mr.
A. G. ALLEN, ft gentleman of 'experience,
•tact, and most courteous bearing.

morning till one o'clock, when the meeting ad
journed: Much was said in reference to Dr.
Taylor and Dr. Tyler, who had boon in their life
times the loaders and champions of two opposite
schools of theology in New England, and ea
the prominent professors in the seminaries
of Now Haven and East Windsor, had sustained
and expounded their distinctive views to, succeed
ing classes of students for many years. Eloquent
tributes' were paid to their memories by a number
of speeches.
The Roy Dr. Rufus IV. Clark, of Brooklyn, N.
Y., and brother of the distinguished Bishop of
Rhode Island, made one of the happiest allusions
to the difference in tho theological views of those
eminent divines, and the insignitioance of this dif
ference to them now. as they were doubtless en
joying the glories of heaven. While Dr. Tyler,
said the speaker, may have entered heaven through
a gate, over whose portal was written the inscrip
tion, "Whom ho did predestinate, theta he also
called ;" and Dr. Taylor, through a gate, above
which was written those words, " Whosoever will,
let him take of the water of life freely ;'• yet, after
they had passed through, looking back, they would
each see, in broad lino of living light, stretching
AMMO the inner wall above both portals, the bless
ed text, " God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son.''
Dr. Parker, late United States Commissioner to
China, spoke for some time, principally dwelling
on his successful practice as a surgeon for many
years among the Chinese; part of his remarks
wore made In the Chinese tongue, and though
hardly intelligible to his audience, seemed to afford
them mush amusement. The intention is at those
alumni meetings to have speakers from each of the
(gaffes which have graduated at the successive in
tervals of ten years prior to the commencement,
and also froin the graduating class, and the class
which has returned after three years absence to
take their second degfeo, so that the various pe
riods of college history may be represented. Such
occasional variations are introduced oireum--
stances may give occasion for, This year en much
time was taken ?tp ,by the older graduates, that
the last speaker was of the class of 1838, and the
subsecittent classes were not heard from. The
Alumni Hall was decorated for the mention with
portraits of the Prefossore and distinguished bone
factors of the college, obtained from the Trumbull
Gallery.
At three o'clock the annual oration before the
Alumni was delivered in the North Choral by F.
A. P Barnard, LL.D., President of the University
of Mississippi. 'His subjeot 191141" The duties and
responsibilities of educated ?ACM to the. cause of
Ethleatioii.!' At half-past four the annual meet
ings of the two groat literary IMoieties connected
with the oollego—the Brothers in Unity and Line-
Man were held in their respective halls. These
societies have had an existence for many years
The Linpnian is the oldest, having been founded.
In 1753; its eon tinnial anniversary was celebrated
five years since with great ceremony. The Bro
there in Unity, though founded a few yearn later,
speedily attained an equal rank with her Oder ri
val; and both *moieties have increased and pros
pered, maintaining a generous and warmly con•,
tested rivalry in all the points which concern their
welfare and advancement. . Rach has a largeand
valuable library, distinct entirely from the Col
lege Library, and having a wider• range in miscel
laneous and general literature.
These societies aro recognized and emerged by
the faculty, alt of whom, who have graduated at
the College, are members of one or other, of them.
While Linonia le proud to enrol among her mem-,
bora,the name of the venerable ex-President Day,
the Brothers in ,Unity are favored by having.on
the list of members tho name of President:Wool

noble ReviMnee which fell from hia lips, upon the
scaffold, and which well deserves to bo blazoned in
letters Ofgold :"I ONLY •RRORET TRAT new

The Brothers in Unity count, among the found-.
,era of the society, General David Butnphroys, who
graduated In 1771, and, during the Revolutionary
War, entered the army with the rank of captain,
and in 1780 was appointed aid to Washington, who
selected him to convey to Congress the colors of
the enemy taken at Yorktown. Congress voted
him a splendid sword as a testimony of their
appreciation of his valor, ,fidelity, and signal
services. Ills monument, with a lengthy and
learned inscription in Latin, steads in the Now
Haven Cemetery. .
In the meeting of the Brothers, the ozonises
commenced with singing the rallying song of
tho society, the first verse of which is as follows :
"Brothsrs all in Unity,.
Knit by lore'} attraction,
Lot us gird oar armor on,
tiow , s the time for action.
Crones—Shake the old blue banner out,
' Tell the world Ps story,
Let our song and watchword be
Unlty and glory.','
Warmed by the inspiring song, the old Brothers,
made young ones more, with many a college re-*
minisoenoe, sparkling jest, and word of grave ad
vice, made tho hours pass, swiftly by, and all re
gretted when the hour of parting drew nigh, and
the farewell song was sung. I doubt not thathhe
Linoniane had a lively and agreeable time, but it
dOes not bosoms a "Brother" to speak of their .
doings from secondhand. ,
In the evening Wm Allen Butler, Erg., of New
York, author of "Nothing to IF:sar,". attracted
a large audience to Centre Church, to hear his
poem before the Phi Dote. Kappa Society. Not a
little interest and curiosity syas felt to sea whether
hi would vindicate his claim to the authorship of
the former poem, if any vindication was needed;
and sustain the reputation be had acquired. The
title of his poem, wee " Two Millions." It occu
pied two hours in its delivery, and kept the au
dienCe in rapt attention
„throughout the- whole
time.'' It was published by Appleton the day after
its delivery; and all who wish to judge of its
merits have by this time had an opportunity of so
doing. It fully sustains his former reputation, and
"Firkin," his hero, will, doubtless, be as widely
known ad the unhappy Flora McFlimsey.

As I noHoo that while you have been publishing
many lettere from summer retreats, your paper
which, by the way, is as popular hero as It is
everywhere else, has contained but few from this
favorite resort, I have concluded to write you a
few lines, and only regret that its many advert.
Cages and delightful pleasures , have not found a
correspondent more able to do them justice. No
watering plane of any extent bears a closer rela
tion to Philadelphia than this. From its cooling
breezes, its delightful bathing, and its green
groves, you are separated only by a few hours
ride. When your people are half roasted bribe
intensity of the rays of old Sol, let them remem
ber that old Ocean hero offers the moat convenient
and accessible retreat within their reach. Water
is the natural antidote of excessive heat. The
throat-parched traveller upon• the desert, the
hamlet threatened by a conflagration, can be
savel from destruction only by water, and the
summer-stricken citizen from whose frame the
perspiration oozes in streams, can hotter mem
and restrengthen himself by the shore, and in the
bosom of the groat depository of waters than any
where else. „.
Lot him mime down upon our fine surf—don the
habiliments of the bather--plunge in with the
merry throng of young and old lavers in the dash
ing waters—watch the wild antics, the gay gam
bols, the bold advances and the timid ahrinkings,
of those who surround him—while the waves roll
In delicious streams over all the " gay oompanie"
—and ho cannot but become, physically at least, a
better man. During the hours when at inland
and loss famed spots, note breath of air interposes
its offices to moderate the intones heat, refreshing
breezes will hero play lovingly around his temple s
and so temper the winds that all that poets sing
of an Elysium is realized in the joyous atmosphere
which surrounds him. The eye will find ample
gratification in the beauty of the land•and-wator
soape—in the pleb:mosque cottages and hotels
rising out of the very midst of the groves around
him, In the light-house roaring its head high up
towards the skies, and in the changing aspeots of
the grand old monarch who proudly stretches out
his mighty arms to the uttermost parts of
the earth, and bears' upon his broad bosom
tho proudest productions of human skill
and ingenuity as mere trifling toys which ho
may either suffer to roach the harbors and answer
the ends of the puny mortals who assume to guide
them, or contemptuously consign to his lowest
depths, without a moment's warning, as beat fits
his sovereign and despotic will and pleasure.
Then there is the walk or the ride upon the beach,
full of interest and pleasure, the sail upon the
ocean in the dashing yacht, and those pleasures of
the table which obtain now zest front the hearty
appetites gained by healthful exorcise. For tho
pious and church-loving there are prayer-meetings
and sermons. For the rollicking and mirthful, there

I am late in redeeming my Olinda° to - write an

change of place have rendered letter-writing al
most impossible. Tke steamer which we selected
when leaving New York, proved_ good, in all rim

the state-roome, and notwithstanding the storm,
the dock was the only habitable quarter. There
sufficient excitement prevailed to obliterate all
canoe of discomfort, ' Enveloped in a thick mist,
the hoarse steam-whistle every minute sounding

and passengers were well pleased when we same out
into the smooth seas and bright skies beyond.
The lengthening days and soft atmosphere began
to betoken our approach to .the latitude and cli

showed the beautiful headlamis . of Kerry close at

presented. The dark, brown rooks, which resist
the waves, rise abruptly to a groat height, and,
from their ledge, a turf of Abe brightest emerald

and every height is surmounted by an old, square
tower of stone, of good height, and with a project

of these towers Is aboost countless, and their origin
is so remote. that they are referred, (but without
certainty,) to the time of the Danish invasions.
The cultivation and the dwellings ofthe peasants
improve as we get further up; and towards even

houses of Queenstown are plainly visible: Early
next morning we pass' close under the towering
rock of Holyhead. It rises in majestic and fault
less proportion to the height of 130 or 150 feet,
and with its light-house and adjvcent breakwater
forms the prindpal haven of the channel. The shores
become quite uninteresting as we advance, but the
number and variety of vessels we meet betoken our
approach to the modern Tyro; and all is bustle and

somewhat upon one's conceptions of a' city in Old

soon alongside. The immediate prospect of re

greatly one's attachment for the score of friends
made during the voyage, but nobody seems to find
time to lament that circumstance. Luggage is the
