An impression seems to be abroad that this beautiful and delightful watering-place is filled up, and that several persons have been refused accommodations.
There are at this time several families here, but there is yet plenty of room for others — the accommodations being ample for seven hundred people.--This is a convenient and safe situation for the families of officers and soldiers stationed at Manassas and points beyond; and is a most delightful locality for any one wishing a summer retreat from the cities or neighborhoods invaded by the enemy.

of this city:
"Richmond, Va., 22d June, 1861. "Dear Sir:
--I am sensible of the honor the Convention does me in the invitation through your favor of the 21st inst. But I hope to be excused; as, besides that I am just recovering from a sickness which has kept me in my room all this week.
