To tbo Editor of the Georgia Telegraph ;
Having just returned from a visit of several weeks, in
the Cherokee country, it will out perhaps be uninteresting
to that poriinn <;J the community who, ate in the habit of
leaving thieit homw during tlie summer mouths, in search
n! health or pleaaure. l" give a pauiug notice of Rowland a
Mineral Soriags, ao remarkable for tlieir medicinal virtues,
.vet so little known in tbeinidlaud and lower counties of the
State These Bpttngs are in the wealthy and populous
county of Cats, about 6 mile* from the village of Carters-
ville. a etatioo on tbeAVeslern and Atlanta Kail Road.—
The facilities for reaching them are ea>y. There is a good
a line of daily Stages for the rccommodatim uf visitors. As
s retreat from the wai in sun and muskvtoes of the low count
try of Georgia. 1 know of no place that presents greater or
equal attractions. The Springs are situated in the valley
of an extensive range »t mountains, within 4 miles of M*j.
Cooper's extensive Ironworks outlie Et'wait river, a
beautiful clear stream about the size of the Ocmulgeo,
abounding in all kinds of fresh water fish, where parties
Iruin the Bp rings can find good sport in angling.. The
mountains in the vicinity abound with an abundance of
game ,- dear and turkey are found in abundance. There
are three Mineral Springs, the principal properties of
which are chalybeate. There ia also one of the finest free
Springs in all the Cherokee region in a stone’s throw
thing that the palate can desire iss; read be ore you in the
most bountiful prolusion and all made at home. He lies
just com [listed one of the moitcomm xiious and best appoin
ted Hotels in the county, aud in addition to the Borings im
mediately around the house, be bssbrugght water through
acqueducts from a neighboring mountain, one mile and
twenty rods d'stam. which will elevate the water tilty-five
feet in front of the Hotel; where he is preparing to erect
one or more bea'-t'ful fountains. His charges for board
and lodging arc 916 per month, and for a longer lime some
thing less in proportion to the time you remain. Horses $10
per month.
These Springs are without any exaggeration the most
delightful place south of the Savannah river. A mile Irom
the Mineral Springs is Fnu' hes Spring, and a splendid one
it is too; a fine road t" which afford, a beau'iful walk morn
ing* and evenings. Barents visiting 'he Springs will find
at Mr. F 'Uches'. one of the heat echo >1* in the State, where
they can send their ions during the summer months —
There is a mountain easy of ascent about a mile from
the Hotel, from the top of which on a clear day. you have a
fine view of the neighboring mountain, as well as nf the
Stone mountain in Dekalb, wh ich is 61) mites distant. Quite
a number of gentlemen from Charleston. Savannah and Au
gus a. have already engaged rooms for themselves and fact-
i.ies, and there is tint the least doubt but that they will be
better patronized the coming season, titan any watering
place in the Southern country. To those In search of either
pleasure or health, 1 would say visit Rowland’s Springs.

He came—a bright-eyed, tender boy.—
Nor aught of care or *01 row knew ;—
His parents* hearts were filled with joy-,
Nor little deem’d a poison grew
To snatch from tarth so fair a gem,
And break the opening blossom’s stem.
Disease 1—oh, fearful monster thou !
•Whose tyrant nod we most obey,—
Laid its dire hand upon his brow.
And welcome death relieved ilesw&y.
His feet, which never earth had stuin’d,
A brighter mansion now hath gain'd.
Oh! Father! Mother! weep not more;—
You cannot bring bim back again.—
But strive to meet him on thatshnre
Where so row’s not—nor death—nor pain :
For God bath pluck'd this lovely flow’r
But to adorn Hi* beav’oly bow'r !

OBITUARY.
Died in this place on the 1 ltb inst. Mrs. Elizabeth J.v-
MESoS.cons.irt of Dr. David Jameson, aged 4a years.
After a long and painful illness, which she boi e with n
Christian's fortitude and a Christian’s hope, she has at lust
been called to her father’s kingdom to reap a rich reward,
for a long life spent in devotion to bis service.-
Although she had long expected the hour of her final dis
solution, she met the "King of Terrors.” death, without
fear or trembling, and welcomed his approach with a calm
ness aud resignation which proved that she krtetc that ahe
bad a treasure laid up iu Heaven, where neither moth nor
rust doth corrupt, and where thiwes do not break through
nor steal. ...
It, her death, her bereaved and disconsolate family has
sustained an irreparable loss—the Aieihodist Church of
which she was long a member, has lost one ot i s brightest
ornaments—and the community one of its most valuable
st-d useful me.nhers.
Wistdi’s Balsam of Wild Cherry.
A Certificate from Mr. lore-son of Lancaster. N. H..
highly respectable citizen ot that place, and Jailer of th*
count v of Coos:
I, George W. Ingerson of Lancaster, hereby certify.that
I havebeeu troubled with the Asthma for about twenty
years. Last November, when I began taking Wistar’s
Balsam of Wild Clieriy. I had been unable to do anything
for several months, aud had nnt, except a very few nights,
been able to rest in my bed. Almost as soon as 1 began to
take it. 1 felt relieved. 1 have taken about two bottles.
My health is altogether improved. A few returns ot the
Asthma, which I have had in that time, were almost imme
diately removed, by taking the Balsam. 1 rest well, and
mr health is, and lias been tor uicnths better than at any
time previous lor many years. I chee-fully recommend
this medicine to all v-lcare similarly afflicted.

E'en in icy Switzerland.
Dr, Swayne’s compouud Syrup of Wild Cherry.
Is mild and pleasant to tha ISS'e. perfectly safe and harm
less in its operations, and yet is one i*f the most powerful
and certain remedies tor conauinpt on of the Langs Coughs,
Colds, Asthma, Spitting Blood, Liver Couijdait l. pains in
the Bide or Breast, and georial debility <-f the Consti ution
that wns ever invented by the skill of man for the relief of
the afflicted public. Certificates and evidences of its won-
derfuicura ive p-iwera are d.iily received Irotti all quarters.
It is impossible to conceive the aggreg-te of suffering and
misery that hjs been relieved or batii.-lied hy it; nor can we
Call-Mate the immense benefit that shall accrue from it
hereafter. All ag--s, sexes.and constitutions are ali-e af-
teeted by it. and -.lie disease is eradicated from the system,
theconstiiuti- n repaired.and health restored by the use of
Ltt. BWAYNE'S COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD
CHERRY. How many sufferers do we daily behold np-
pioaclitngto an untimely grave, wrested, in the bloom of
youth, ft- in their relatives and friends, afflicted with that
fatal malady. CONSUMPTION, which wastes the miser
able sufferer until lie becomes bey ond tlie power of human
skill. If such sufferers would only make a trial of Doctor
Swaype's Compound dyrup of Win! Cherry, they would
find themselves sonnet relieved than by gulping the various
ineffective remedies with which our newspapers abound;
this"Vegetable Heniedy” heals the ulcerated lungs Slop
ping profuse night sweats, at the same time inducing a nat
ural and healthy expectoration, and the patient will soon
find himself in the enjoyment of cuinlnrtable health. The
public should bear in mind that Dr. Dr. Swayne is a regu

diseases ol the Lungs, Chest, Ac. Ac.
