Oakland County, Aik.. > July,-31st 1873. f Editors Times: The necessities of the afflicted and sufTciing arc such, and the facilities of (ravel in this di rection have been so much improved recently, that we have come to the conclusion that at uo distant day, many of your leaders will visit these -Springs to test the power and curative virtues of these waters for themselves. We have Kail Hoad communication to liock Fort only twenty rail<*s from the Springs, and where the Passen gers are transferred to the stage coach or Jiacks, which are always in readi ness to convey passengers over a rough rocky road t«» the Springs, or to any other point they may want to go to. But ere another year rolls around, the citizens of Hot .Springs hope to be able to chronicle the tact, and proclaim to the afflicted, and the nation at large, that they are noi only in communication with the outside world by Stage aud Hack line*', but that the iron horse with its shrill whistle is heard through out these valleys and mountain tops. This w ill surely be looked back upon as the grand epoch in the future history of these potent waters, when they can claim to have an unbroken chain of Kail Hoads to the great waters of the Atlantic oceau, both North and South of Mason ami Dixons line; bringing them in direct comniuniculi-.n with many of the principal cities of this great uniou. I fancy when the litiga tion now peuding shall be brought to a iinal settlement or close, and that it is known and fully realized by all that, one of the uow contesting litigan’s has fallen heir to these wonderful Springs and surroundings, that he will soon bu made to know and feel that a fortune is in easy grasp for him. This will hi ing capitalist who will not then be fearful to invest their means. Id inauy places along the valley which is to day built up o( shabby woodcU buildings, will then be torn away and in their stead, will be seen good brick or Stone, and main street will be straightened and paved w ith stone, and Hot springs creek that now (lows along the valley win iis obstructed rocky bed, will be walled in or turned into a sewer which will give more room lor buildings.— These mountains that now seem to be so much in the way will be terraced, and line hotels will decorate their tops. Not even Baden Badeu in Germany nor any of the wells or springs of the Old World or of the UniteJ States, wid be resorted to by a huger uutnber of visitors, thousands of invalids w ill gather here and seek for that health that a Physician cannot give. So pow erful are these potent Waters in their exhilarating effects, that the poor in valid who has for years been sorely afflicted, and has kept the stomach loaded with myriads ot poisonous and noxious Drugs, is made to re,oice alter a few baths here. This is the bi side, yet the truth has not been told, us these waters have made some al most, miraculous cures. It is thought by the people at large, that these wa ters are good lor almost every ill that flesh is heir to, yet we find many that go away from here dissatisfied say they have not received that Lent- lit that they expected to tiud. Ihc « Kters though powerful iu some caa yet they will uot do for every Uisea id what ia often food for one is poi- n tor another. J radilioii regarding these Spring s extends baek to a very remote period, aud it is said long yean teforc the footprints of the whitt were know n here that the Indian! thousand milts or more were fa miliar with the powerful curative vir- •s of these waters, and their afflicted re brought here from various tribes the water* were free, where they were left to wallow iu the mud «tul hot water to die or get well, and how at the surprise of the Chief aud those of th • camp, after a few mouths j see their tbrim-r brother wr wairior, landing in their midst free trom nil of his former ills. Such wonderful cures Iraving been performed in the arious tribes, the waters were looked upon as sacred, and iu ail of the!’ quarrels and ditlkult.es u»c grounds were held as neutral. In my former communications 1 have givi u your readers the locality of the springs together with auatyus, and the many dkease* thought to be bemtilted or cured here, also mauv i eeuliariii. s of the waters, and now I will try t‘* give them 8P insight of the town or village of Hot Springs and its surroundings. The houses aro all lightly construct- t*d wooden building*, which in gcueral presents rather a shabby appearance, there being but few public or privatc buildings iimsbed off with mgeh taste. The village is built up along the valley on either side of the street that ruus through it; many of the buildings are built immediately over TTot Springs creek. The valley runs North and South aud Is much wider at the South ern extremity, it being three or four hundred feet across, while ut the Northern extremity it is reduced to a mere creek bed. At the Northern ex tremity of the valley is two small streams comiug together, which to gether with the Hot Spriugs, forms Hot Springs creek, which flows aloug the valley over its rocky bed, forming many cascades fu Its downward coutse. Ibis creek in coming into the valley flows aloug at the toot of the Western mountain for two hundred yards or more, when at this distance from tisc northern mouth of the valley, it makes a curve and skiffs over to tire Eastern or Hot Springs mount siL, and just here where the creek makes' this rods wide, where it opens out into Hot Springs valley and gradually uarrow- ing as it runs back to it mere gorge.— At the foot of this valley just at the edge of Hot Springs valley, au 1 only a few feet from Hot Springs creek, is a spring of nice cold free stone water which is tight or ten rods front the liol Springs, and empties iuto Hot Springs creek, which has here made a shirt from the western to the eastern mountain, aud Hows aloug at the foot of Hot Spring* mountain, keeping iu close proximity to it The balance of the way down the valley, which to gether with the uumerous Hot Springs that empty iuto it, it carries a sufficient volume of water to drive a small mill situated at, or near the southern eud of the valley. Thu village is half mile or lhree-iourth* of a tuile loug, this embraces the business portion of the illage. At the southern eud, tho vvl- lev widens or breaks off iuto a hilly broken country. We Uud here three roads leading off in different directions, on nlf of winch we tiud at short inter vals, numerous private hoarding Louses and residences extending back for a mile or more. It is here near the southern eud of the valley we find the cemetery five or six acres enclosed with a plunk fence, situated on a gen tle slope with its uatural growth, the piue, dogwood, oak and cedar. These together with the man) rude stones that are found scattered around make it au appropriate spot for a grrve yard. The oldest marks wc could dis saved on auy of the stones date baek to 1S21, but 1 suppose there must have been some inlet merits made prior lo this date, as we sec many places which we supposed to he graves with nothing except a small Hut slate stoue to mark the resting place ol the death Owing to the litigation now pending before the general government, be tween three contestants John C. Hale, Col. Gaines and Ex-Gov. II. M. Kcclor, as to the rights or tides to these spriugs and their surroundings, which h:is been hc-ld heretofore under what is known heto in Arkansas as "shot gun titles*'. The con>cqucDce of which has been that ail the improvements that has been made heretofore, has been lor the most part on u very cheap style, yet there i» some exceptions, liieie being some very nice hotels, stores aud private reside mu s. Near the foutlu-rn eud of the valley we find the Turner House, German House, Sumpter House, Carolina house, and also the Hot Springs House: which is salt*, to be the house, it being lu-ad qauit is as a stalling and stO| ping point for the numerous stage couches ami hacks, that daily leave and arrive here. Farther up die street are many small shop* of various kinds, gambling houses, etc, aud just here we notice in large letters these words. Hole in tiie Wall. We have been informed by a western Texiun, (wlm no doubt knew whether there was a hole in the wall or not,) that the more one laid down the less he had to pick up, we are not familiar enough wiih this business (gambling), to give you the names ot the different gamer indulged in lure for money, but would suppose the list to comprise all the games known in larger citizes. Near this part of the village is 7/ot Springs Tourier Office, a paper of foity columns, which discourses on Arkansas polities, and the sayings and doings ut Hot Spriugs. Farther up the valley wc find numerous shops aud stands where the polite veudor is seen to smile at the busy crowd, as they pass by while his peanuts, and fruits, cigars and tobacco, candies, jel lies, spices, &c., together with dry noods. and groceries are conspicuously arranged. Near by is the Japanese Crystal aud Trinket Store, which i* wry seldom found without customers at auy hour of the day. Crystals, ot rare specimens uud of various size*, together with pieces of magnetic ore, are offi-red lure for sale which is ob tained from the mountains fifteen or twenty miles off and brought here iu wagons and sold, which constitute one of the chief articles ot trade. Farther up the valley we find on llio c.i-tc-iii side, several bath houses the most of which are built over Hot springs Creek, near the base of Hot Spriugs mountain. There are also several hotels in this part of the valfov, the Hale House, Alabama House, Hector House, and other smaller bouses and shops, embracing all. froiu * pcauui stand lo a full and well regulated store. The Aikin Hotel that was burned one year ago Du* w hich I145 Just hepn re built and assumes the uame ol the Grand Central, will accommodate one hundred and flffy or iso liuudred visi tors. The part toward the northern end of tho valley, has not been built up so thickly as some other portions, owing we_&uj.-pgse to there betug but little room between the mountains, it being reduced to a mere creek bed and narrow street. The yilbqje boasts of three churches. Cnthoiie, Metho<ii*t aud Episcopal, the Baptist church having been burned sometime ago and has not been re built, they have also oue or two good schools iu the village.

At the noribcrn extremity of the main valley, we Uud two small creeks cum ing together, one sunning in from a valley that leads off here, which ex tend* back, running nearly due west, and is settled principally bv colored people, while the other creek comes aloug down the main valley which makes a curve here and runs back iu a nonb-ea^t.direction, this* b*Thg ,the hack read to Little Uock. along which we find at short intervals some very neat private hoarding houses aud rest- Ur.

Some of it is dressed down in a little mill near by, to anysiz^one may want and sold to visitors at fair prices, some very fine stones of ordinary size sell for $1.00 to $2.00 each. Besides the numerous not Spriugs charged with gases, minerals, &o., <Scc, and uumerous cold mineral springs, crystal quartz, magnetic ore, and va rious other minerals and ores, it is said the'sc mountains contain large quant ities of silver ore, which attract ed the attention of some parlies, who are now digging aud blasting for the precious metal. But for fear I occupy too much of your valuable space, 1 will close. Yours, Loungil Topping Cotton a Kemcdy for tiie Caterpillar. Mr. .7. McMlchael, a very worthy and reliable jdau'er, residing in Up son county, announces 1 lint removing the hud of tin: topmost hou'jhs of the cotton plant iu seasons w hen the worm is reported, is a sure preventive of their ravages. I11 I8*i8 lie experimen ted on one field, topping half of it and leaving the remainder untouched.— The result was a heavy crop trout the topped portion, and the utter destruc tion by caterpillar of the other half. Since then he ha* continued the practice whenever threaleued by the insect, with the same success. Mr. McMicliael's theory’ is that the fiy de posits eggs in every instance iu the bud of the s alk, and if this is destroy ed the forthcoming swarm of worms is effectually stopped. He is very par ticular, however, to take out of lheftb.1 iu bags or baskets all the tender sprouts clipped from the plant, as (he eggs might hatch if they were thrown upon tiie ground and suffered to tv- main there.

How 8mili.es Stopped Chewing Tobacco. Smikcs made u^his mind to stop chewing. He never was much of a chewer, anyhow, he said. He hadn't used tobacco but a few years, and rarely consumed more than an ounce paper iu a day. But he fenrrd the habit might gel hold of him nud be come fixed, and if there was anything that he abhorred it was to see a man become a slave to a bad habit, lie had used the weed some to be sure, but there had never been a time du ring the last ten years when ho could uot stop at any moment. But so long a* be did uot become habitual iu its use he did not care to stop, lie could break off* at miy miuutc, and it was a great satisfaction to feel so. Thomp son, he thought, was un abject slave to his pipe. Uo pitied Thompson, for lie hud seen Thompson try to stop smoking several times, at d tailed ig- nominously every time he underhuk it. But bmikes wanted to show his wife how easy he could quit. So one morning he remarked curlussly to Sa mantha that he guessed he would stop using tobacco. Samantha f aid that she was glad of it, aud added, impetu ously, what she had never said before, that it was a vile habit. Smikcs ap peared a little uervous and coufuscd when Samantha said this, and mum bled out something about being glad be had never got into it himself. In his ugitaliou lie pulled out his tobacco box nud was. about to take a chew when he recollected himself, and plunged out of the trout door, forget ting his umbrella. About halfway to -lie office he met Joins, with wticui he was having some busiuess transac tions. While they were talking the thing over Smikes got a little enthusi astic, aud he. had almost reached the office before be noticed that he was ■” lg an uncommonly plump quid aroutul his mouth like a sweet morsel. He puzzled over that little thing all the rest of the forenoon, atul at last he took it out of his mouth aud threw it ,% satisfied that he must have taken it while talking with Jones. - Twice that afternoon Smiker, took out his tohicco box aud looked at it. Once •ok off the rover aud stuelh'd of tiie tobaeeo. It smelt so good that Smikcs felt impelled to remark to himself that it was the easiest thing n the world to stop chew tug. He :ongratulate«l himself again and tgain that day tiiat he did not become ‘utnnglcd in the meshes of the filthy rice,and he alluded to the matter three >r four times that eveniug at the tea- able, till Samantha marveled greatly at the firmness of Smikcs. She had always heard, she said, that it was a liard tliing to leave off. But Smikcs had told her. anti kept tellir.g her,that it was •just as easy,’ and her 1 everotice for the virile strength aud independence of character ot Sinikes grew like a gourd. That night Sinikes had the nightman-, lie thought that a legion ol loul fiend* had got him up in a corner of the back yard and had rolled upon him a monstrous quid of "line cut*’ a* large around as a cart wheel, und they were trying to force it into his mouth. Sutikes struggled vigorously, and when Samantha shook him aud ask d him what was the matter, hi* only reply was that anybody could stop chewing it they only made up their mind to it. The next day Smikcs was a little nervous. He told « very body who came in what a simple thing it was to slop chewing. The third dav he harp* J about it all daylong. The fourth day Saiikes lu-ard that chuniouiih- blossoms were sometimes tistd as a substitute for tobacco, and just out of curiosity ho duvoured a couple of ounces ot them. He said to the drug gist when he bought their that it was easy enough to slop the 10of tobacco. On the liftti day Smikcs gor. sick. His neves gave out. Tiiat day tho devil whispered to Sinikes tiiat tobacco was really bem filial to some teinpora- nionta. Sn.ikes had a temperament of that kind. The sixth dav lie felt like h murderer. Sinikes seemed to himself to have become transformed into a Modoc. His mouth was dry and parched. A stout, healthy old gentleman canto into Smike* office (hut day. He was a friend of Sinikes. and as he drew forth his silver tobacco box and daintily shook out a small portion of tire pungent weed, Smikcs felt his m<.uth water. He" remarked to Mr. Johnson that he had not cht-w- ed.nny for day*, and that ho had (drained so long just tosntUfy lfim»elf that anybody could chew or let it alone.' Mr. Johnson said lie had chewed regularly for thirty years and tt had not .Injured him. Smike* took the i»ox and accidentally rolled a large oiiid iuto his left cheek, remarking that he thought there was a great dif ference in some men. He was satisfied that he could stop chewing at any time, l ut there were some tcrn|*era- ment* to which a gentle narcotic or opiate wal really a 1 Je**ing. Tito Blue and thr* Gray.
