OUR SUMMER RESORTS; LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, TENN. Leaving the comfortable cars of the Eennesaw Route at Chattanooga, we take a stage for look out Mountain five miles away. As it was our first visit to this historical region we were pre pared with eager eyes to enjoy everything new and strange, that might present itself. The first mile or so is through the streets of the enterpris ing Chattanooga, past its various iron furnaces and up the mountain near the spot where ’tis said the blacksmith in St. Elmo had his shoD. The ascent is round the edge of the precipice, just sufficiently perilous to make it pleasant, when suddenly disappearing within the dark recesses of the forest, it reappears again upon .the mountain side higher up; wild and wilder grows the scene, dense and denser the forest The horses, panting under their load, are allow ed to rest every few minutes. How strangely beautiful is nature here! From one side of the coach we look down, down into the sea of green that covers the mountain side, into whose depth great masses of rocks, that seem to have become detached from above, have rolled. Nature has received their beautiful forms, and with kindly hands ornamented their enormous sides with moss, fern and flowers. From the other side of the coach we gaze up to a point where the blue mist hides mountain and sky from vie w. Nature again draws from us exclamations of wonder and delight How wonderful and fearful are these great rocks that hang almost suspended over our heads. How fantastically adorned with velvety moss in various hues, of green and goldon-brown; far and near in the caverns of shade under maple, birch and pine, flash whole mounds of flowers, most conspicuous of which are the mountain laurel and flame-colored azalia. We arrived safely at Mountain Cottage, met at the entrance by the hostess and a number of smiling guests, ran the gauntlet, registered our names and disappeared to make a hasty toilet, reappear with appetites sharpened by our long ride, to test the cuisine of Mrs. Geoige S. Ruble, our popular hostess. As hungry men’s appe tites are apt to be partial we will not attempt a description of the bill of fare. Night has clothed mountain and valley in her impenetrable robe, we turn our eyes toward the people of the little world, that have fled from the haunts of other men to seek the atmosphere of the land of the clouds. If one were disposed to speculate or moralize upon human nature he would have abundant material here from so many representatives of different classes of soci ety. Sitting on the porch and watchiug the guests one is not only likely to take an interest in those that appear to be prominent characters, but also to speculate upon what might be their possible past or future. We here meet people from the lake and people from the Gulf, people who have seen the Pacicfi; people who have not; people who have been to Europe; people who have not; people who fougbt as northern sol diers; people who fought on the southern side, all engaged in friendly gossip as to the day’s events or mountain scenery. And musing and chating we interest ourselves in the little world around us, whose inhabitants are almost from all the four quarters of the globe. The finest view to be had is from the front of Point Lookout—one that surprises the beholder viewing it for the first time, and renders him capable only of silent homage to the sublime panorama, spread around above and below him on either side and behind us clothed in the morning mist, that the sun has already begun to tonch with crimson and gold. To the front we gaze down almost perpnedicular cliffs, 1,800 feet into the valley, over whose surface our gaze has a range of hundreds of miles, into seven states we are told. Below us on the level plateau, known as the Craven place, is the spot made famous by the ‘Battle Above the Clouds.’ And beyond that is the tortuous Tennessee winding like a silver band between the hills. On the gaze travels, beyond the river, to those great masses and ranges that have piled them selves one above another, losing themselves at last in the misty distance. We are told they are the Cumberland, Blue Ridge and Unika Moun tains. The amusements of the place consists in climbing the mountain, riding over excellent roads (except to the Lake) wakling to the cliffs, Ac. Taking a walk one discovers great bowlders covered with gray lichen, and great masses of detached conglomerate rock, covered with moss and ferns, and resembling at different times various forms, such as an elephant, turtle, etc. Following our guide we were pointed out a great mass of projecting rock resembling George Washington, the natural bridge, Saddle Rock, Telophone Rock, etc. A jaunt of this kind generally consumes five hours, and fits one for giving himself up in the afternoon to the deli cious tranquility that pervades the different nook6 in the vicinity of Cottage Home. Each suoceding day finds us viewing some lovely landscape, filling our memories with living pictures that will endure as long as memory shall last One day it is Lula lake and fall, a scene of weird, savage grandeur, a cascade over above and fall in fleecy columns into thesolitdues one hundred feet high that leaps from the cliffs below. The lake is formed by a mountain stream that plunges in an almost circular-shaped gorge, whose sides are huge palisades covered with the mosses of ages. Th6 water of the Lake has no visible outlet, but ‘seaps’ through tbe rocks and finally plunges over a smooth rock and goes roaming through the cleft beyond. Another point of interest is ‘Bragg’s Rock’ where the gallant commander of the Confederates watched the Federal forces in the valley below. One might fill a volume, and then not mention half the beauties of clouds, mountain and cataract. Would that we could invite all to come, and read and study this great book of Nature, and learn from its pages to look through Nature up to Nature’s God. Visitor. CHALYBEATE SPRINGS. Of the many summer resorts now bidding for the patronage of the public, none better merits it, perhaps, than tbe reliable old Chalybrate Springs. Located in the mountainous district of Mernweather county, they command the cool and bracing atmosphere so essential to tbe was ted invalid, while the pleasure-seeker is afford ed many means of enjoyment, such as exploring the wonderful gorges,sketching the lovely land scapes, or bagging the game that abounds. Very agreeably surprised were we a short while since, after having enjoyed a pleasant ride of fourteen miles in one of the comfortable stage coaches that run between Talbotton and' the springs, to note, on our arrival, the aspect of ti diness and ease the whole place seemed to have taken on under the present management. Upon the beautifully terraced and shaded grounds stands the spacious hotel, which is surrounded on every side by new and neat cabins. At the foot of a gentle slope, some two hundred yards distant, are the springs. These afford excellent qualities of both chalybeate and sulpher water, mid are reached by one of the many tastefully ar ranged walks that traverse the grounds in every direction. The bathing arrangements are ample and convenient in their appointments, compris ing facilities for warm, cold and plunge baths. Right fnlly was oar conception realized of a place where the weary invalid may find comfort, the business man rest to regain his wasted en- ersiea, or the pleasure-seeker give free reins to |enjoyment, as we noted the leisure promenade J 0 f the merchant, the cracking of the billiards and croquet balls or caught the merry laugh of a couple of equestrians as they sped by, meas uring in their cheer and mirth, some one of the many romantic drives that abound iu the vicin ity. All seemed to partake of the freedom and happiness of surrounding nature. Every coach that arrived came loaded with visitors from va rious parts of the South, who were promptly taken in band by the clever hosts, Messrs Allen A Thompson, and suffered no lack of atten tion. Those who visit Chalybeate once always retnrn, bringing their friends and neighbors with them. Rates of board are moderate, less than at home in towns and cities. Those propos ing to summer abroad will find it to their inter est to correspond with Messrs Allen & Thomp son concerning accommodations before making them else where, and we feel sure, that after so journing there a while, they will join us in ex claiming: Long live the Chalybeate! Visitor.
