Aikon is situated on a high hill, and I am in- I formed by those who have resided there for some time, that it is totally exempt from the diseases to I which this section of country is to sadly liable. It j is but a short dista1 ee from the Coker Springs, so justly celebrated for its fine water, and even in Aiken, the water is most unexceptionable; but whether it derives the excellence of its water rom its contiguity to the Coker Springs, or vice versa, I was not able to learn.There are several Hotels in Aiken, which are , sufficiently commodious to accommodate large \ parties or families; and no person need fear but ! that they will be served with the best the Charleston or Augusta markets can produce. In proof of the above, I put up at Col. Jon* Marsh's Hotel, and st Breakfast was helped with fresh Shad from the Augusta market, an l fresh Black Fish from the Charleston market: thus combining the luxuries of t.vo large cities, with the inexhaustible good things of the country around. Col. Marsh is the enterprising founder of Aiken, and at this time its principal owner, and while the fruits of his laboiv .are rising around him, in a flourishing little town, he does not seem to forget the attributes which induce travellers and visiters to give a town a g od character—that of excellent accommodations in its Hotels.If any of our citizens should feel desirous ol passing a few weeks of the approaching summer out of the city, they could not be better pleased or better accommodated, by a trip to any other place than Aiken, and putting up at Col. Marsh’s Hotel. The distance is but 16 miles, and is completed in an hour at farthest, on the Rail Road. AUGUSTA.
