Terrible Adventure in the Elamoth Care. 4 " B : - & . B " & n a W. . W m m cr ' ' p From the LoUisYille Joarbal. .At the suppofled end of what has always Wen considered the longest avenue of tbe Mammoth Cave, nine mllea from its entrance, there is a pit dark, and deep, and terrihte, known as the Mael-' atroto. Tens of thousands have azed into it with awe whilst Bengal lights Were thrown down it to make its ftarful depths visible, but cone had the daring eret to explore it, The celebrated guide, Stephen, who was deemed in-tensible to fear, was offered six hundred dollars by the proprietors of the cave if he woold descend to the bottom of it, but he shrank from the - - peril.'. A few years ago a Tennessee professor, a learned and bold man, resolved to do what no one before him had dared do, and making his arrangements with great care and precaution, ha had himself lowered dowu by a strong rope a hundred feet, but at that point his courage failed . him, and he called aloud to be drawn out. No ' haman power conld ever have induced him to re peat the appalling experiment. " . A coaple of weeks ago, however, a young gen-aiemanof Louisrille, whose nerves never trem-fcled at aaortal peril, being at the Mammoth Cave with Professor Wright of our city, and ' others aetermined, ao natter what the danger! ant) dif-EcultVei ffight be, to explore the depths of the , soAelatrom. Mr. Proctor, the enterprising pro . " prietor of the cave, sent to Nashville and pro-cared a long rope aad some necessary timbers were borne by tha guides and others to the pro-- posed point of exploration , The arrangemerts being soon completed, the rope, with a heavy fragment of rock aj5xrd to it, was' let down and . twung to and fro to dislodge auy loose rocks that wookl b likely to Tall at' the touch. SevVral .were thus dislodged; and the Jong eon. (jooeu t?nwtoBs, rwmf up iik aigtant tl un 'r4 from Ulow, proclaimed the depth of tbeoo fMKf wish eereraj hafe thrown over hia he4 to protect it ae far as possible against any masses railing from above, and with a light in bis hand and the rope fastened around hia body, took his place over the awful pit, and directed the half dozen men, who held the end of the rope, to let him down into the Cimmerian gloom. We have heard from his own lips an account of hia decent.. Occassionally masses of earth and rock Went whizzing past, but none struck him. Thirty or forty feet from the top he saw a ledge from which,. as he judged by appearances, two or three avenues led off in different directions. About a hundred feet from the top a cataract from the aide of the pit went -rushing down the abyss, and, aa he descended by the side of the falling watet and In the midst of the spray, he felt some apprehension that his light would be extinguished, but his care prevented this. He was landed at the bottom of the pit, a hundred and ninety feet from the top. lie found it almost perfectly circular, about 18 feet in diameter, with a small opening at one point, leading to a fine chamber of no great extent, lie found on the floor beautiful specimens of black silex of immense size, vastly larger than were ever discovered in any other part of the Mammoth Cave, and also a multitude of exquisite formations as pure and white as virgin snow. Making himself heard, with great effort, by his friends, he at length asked them to pull him parlly up, intending to stop on the way and explore a cave that he had- observed opening about forty feet above the bottom of the pit, : Reaching the mouth of that cave, he swung himself with much exertion into it, and, holding the end of the rope in his hand, he incautiously let it go, and it swung out apparently beyond his reach. The situation was a fearful one and his friends above Could do nothing for him. Soon, however, be made a hook of the end of his lamp, andi by extending himself as far over the verge as possible without fulling, he succeeded in securing the rope. Fastening it to a rock, he fol lowed the avenue loO or 200 yards to a point where he found it blocked by an impassable ava lanche of rock and earth. Returning to the mouth of this avenue, be beheld an almost exactly similar mouth of another on the opposite side of the pit, but, not being able to swing himself into it, he refastened the rnpe around his body Vsuspnded himself again over the abyss, and .shouted to his friends to raise him to the top. The pull was an ex. oeediitgly severe one, and the rope, being ill ad jus'ed around his body, gave him the most ex-crutiating pain But soon his pain was forgot fen in a new and dreadful peril. . When he was SO feet from the mouth of the pit and 100 feet from the bottom, swaying and swinging in mid air, he heard rapid and excited words of horror and alarm above, and soon learned that the rope by which be was upheld had taken fire from the friction' of the timber over which it passed. Several moments of awful suspense to those above and still more awful to him below ensued. To them and him a fatal an! in si ant catastrophe seemed inevitable. But the fire wa? extinguished with a bottle of water li -longing to himself, and then the party above, though almost exhausted, by their labors, succeeded in drawing him to the top. He was as calm and self possessed as upon Lis entrance into th pit, but all of his companions, evercome by fa ti ? u,; sank down upon the ground, and his friend. Professor Vir'ht, from cverexertion snd exettement, f.iitYtt-.

Examiner, Sept. 4J three finndred Mormon Worden &e nouncing' :he Faith. By the arrival of a young man named Her bert Braudon we have been furnished with the following information from Salt Lake: "I," says our informant, "left Camp Scott on tho loth of June. The Mormon excitement had been entirely abated. Several Mormon trains ha passed Camp Scott on their way to the States. "They stated, while camped at the above place, that they would not have been permitted to leave, or they would have abandoned Salt Lake long ago. 'On beittif questioned as to their determination to resist the entrance of the United States troops, they replied that the major part of the Mormons -only ; awaited the entrance of the troops In order to effect their escape from Brig bam Young and Mormonism,' "On their arrival at Camp Scott, they were minus the common necessaries of life. On be Ing asked the Cause of their destitute condition they stated that before Brigham Youtig had re. lented from his determination to resist the troops he bad ordered thetn to deposit; what provisions they had in' the store-house but as soon Babe made known his intention of going south, those of the Mormons who refused to go were deprived of all, and could get nothing for their outfit! "They also etatedj that but (or the interference of Governor Gumming, the destroying angel would bave forced them away, and that they did succeed, in some instances, driving away sever al women. I came down with two Mormon trains from Camp Scott, numbering about three hundred persons,' principally Women, who were chiefly English, and some Scotch; and the principal topic of their conversation throughout was the absurdity of Morraonism and its principles. They were all nnanimons in their denunciations of Brigham Young and his apostles, and talked of his assassination by the Mormons who remained at Camp Scott mi sura event ' They have all, without t ''.Tjtmi heeoW rWnret 9r'9?p,nVu4. reaonaed it, aad 4xpres ed their determinalfm bnoj than aTorts Sot the total aao&laAta'of llor monism. They express their desire to return to their native country, and would, if they bad the means to do so, in order that tbey might be instrumental in saving others from the baneful influence of Mormonismi On their . arrival at Plattsmouthf on the . Missouri River, they had calculated to cross over to Council Bluffs; but the bad condition of the roads in Iowa changed their resolve, and they are now dispersing them, solves in Kansas and Nebraska Territories." Mr, Brandon gave us many other interesting particulars, from which we conclude that a speedy dissolution awaits the community of the Latter day Saints, Many of the jvomen, although they went to Utah innocent and pure, we judje, are very unlikely to lead a very exemplary life iu the future. They have been " debased until thev are likely to abandon themselves to the loathsome life of prostitution. Hydrophobia and Spiritualism in Illinois A Strange Affair. We mentioned a few days since an account of the death of a little girl near Peoria, Illinois, from hydrophobia, produced by the bite of a cat. We also mentioned some ''spiritual" manifesta tions in connection with the same. A letter from the father of the child appears in the Bos ton Traveller. We furnish the following extract for the inspection of the curious. He says: I would not now write merely to gratify idle cariosity ;tbut I consider the circumstances con-nected with the death of my child of such a marvelous nature that I do net hesitate to give to the world its truth. In the first place, then, the child had three of the most horrid fits that were ever witnessed, and as she came out of the third one she exclaimed, "Oh! mother, sister has come aud will tell me what to take so that t shall have no more fits let me so off the bed aud fix the medicine." "She then called for nitric, acid, blood root, sweet oil, winter-green, rose-water, camphor, and slippery-elm. She mixed the medicine herself, in accordance with her sister's directions, and took it, and strange to say, she had no more flu. She commenced taking the medicine about seven o'clock in the evening, and died about three in the morning. She continued to say that her sister was with her np to the moment she died. One circumstance which is counseled is more strange than all the rest. Soon after taking the first dose of medicine, she said, "Pa, you must pull one of my teeth, for sister says the tooth is poison." I asked her to wait until morning, but the little innocent looked up with tears in ber eyes, and said,"Oh, Pa, sister says you are afraid I will bite you, but I won't bite nor scratch you, but if you will not pull it out, sister says she will pat something ou it to eat it out." She was then standing on the floor, with some five or six neighbors in the room; she placed her hand by her side and stood motionless- for two or three minutes, and one of her teeth dropped upon the floor. She exclaimed, "I told you sister would eat it out." She, not more than fi ve minutes before she died,, sat in my lap, put her arms around my neck and kiasod me; wanted to lay on the bed with her mother; turned to her and laughed, and died without ja struggle or a groan. -; More about that Kentucky Overseer that Advertised for a Wife. Oar readers will remember the marriage last spring of William A. Carr, of Kentucky, to Mrs. A. Pn Brings, of Columbus, Ohio. The match was brought about, by a moat ridiculous letter, fron Carr to the editor of the New York TiTio iu inqnjrinsf fora wiTe, and which the Times, published for the benefit of its rea Jars. Everybody read : it, and lauehed at it, hu' tew supposed any woTtin would be fool enough, seriously to reply t it. Carr, however, it will be reroerabored recr-Vsad letters from 101 womn candidates for his bandi From the lot, he final ly selected the.Colambua widow. It turns out that Carr was. something of a gay deciever, and that he had made written protefl-. tations of love and wedlock to others besides the favored Mrs. Briggs. The Ashland Kentuck-ian, noticing the rich Correspondence and singular match says: Thereby hangs A veritable tale; and it may be possibly, a suit for breach of promise, With exemplary damages. Mrs. Pauline W. Carrol,'".a Boston lady now sojoorning in Oreeonp c6., has put us n possession of a series of letters, which clearly prove said Carr, to be a "gay deceiver)' a fello w who loves hot wisely but two well-Since the announcement of the villian's mar riage, while under solemn promise to her; Mrs, Carrol has concluded to bring suit against Carr for breach of promise and damage to tender affection. As the lady is young and handsome, and has the documents, to prove the treachery and false dealing of the too amorous Carr, it is more than probable that a Kentucky jury will give her exemplary damages and then the rep robate overseer will be made to poney up to the tune of thousands. " The result of his daring ati tempt to trifle wtth the tender affections, of young womanhood, will sadly interfere with the honey moon and domestic felieily anticipated by Carr in his union with the Columbus widow. Romance in Beal Xifo. , The circumstances attendant upon a marriage recently consummated in Alleghany City have incidentally reached fis, and, as they are of a romantio character, we will giva them without mentioning any names Some seven years since a lady of Alleghany, with her daughter, then eleven jears of age, took a pleaeore trip to Ire. land, her native country There she encountered a friend of her youth, who had, grown with time to be a bachelor. She playfully twitted him concerning bis single blessedness, when he replied that, although richly endowed with this world's goods, he had never found one of the sof ter sex who struck Jus fancy, adding that he would finally be obliged to come to America to get a wife. The lady answered that she would raise her Utile, girl, then present, for him. He said he would one day claim the fulfillment of the proroiseajBd the party separated.

A Curious Frtak: of Nature. J. E. Holmes, of Newark, writes that there is a white oak, of fine, healthy growth, standing near Robison's coal o works, iu Perry County, on which, at fiftv five foet from the ground is en grafted a black-oak top, of lofty and vigorous growth, k is about two feet in diameter at the usuarhight of cutting trees, and the body stock is fourteen inches at the grafting portion, and the black-oak immediately above it at once enlarges to twentytwo incl es. The grafting is rep resented as being of the most perfect doscrip. lion, and there is no appearance of deterioration in either the white or black-oak portions. There are several limbs bolow the union, and those above are said to be equal to any tree of the same description in that section of the country, and would form a luxuriant and proper superstructure for a stock of three feet in diameter. The only reasonable supposition for this curious growth is, that the white oak portion was broken by the falling of a black -oak near it, and that a-branch of the latter must have been so driven into the fracture as to unite and grow in a firm, manner'to produce the singular phenomenon above related. : ' Her is Something to Think Of. The number of languages spoken is 3,061. The number of men is about equal to the number of women. Tbe average, of human life is about 33 yean. One quarter die before the ajje of 7; one-half before the age of 17. To every 1 ,000 persons 1 'only reaches 10 0 years. : To every 100 only 9 reach 65 years; and not more than 1 in ft 00 reaches the ag of 80 years. There are on earth 1,000,000,000 ot inhabitants. Of these 33,333,333 die every year, 7,780 every hour, and 60 every minute or I for every second. These losses are about balanced by an equal number of births. The married arelonger-lived than the. single, and, above all, those who observe a sober and industrious conduct. Tall men live longer than short ones. Women have more chances for life previous to the age of SO years than men, but fewer after. The number of marriages is in proportion of 75 to 100. Marriages are more frequent after the equinoxes that is, during the months of June and' December. Those born in spring are generally more robust than others. -Births and deaths are more frequent by night than by day. The number of men. capable of bearing arms is calculated at one fourth af the population. ; A Chinese Garden. Mr. Fortone gives a curious description of a Chinese garden in a recent letter from which we make the following extracts": ""The plants consist of good ' specimens of southern Chinese thin?, all well known in En-g land s'Jch, for example, a cyrobidiuin chioese, olea frarans, oranges, roses, cameKas, jnagno lias, etci and, of course, ; a multitude' of. dwart trees, without whrch no Chinese garden would be considered complete. In the alcove alluded to there are some ni.-e stone seats, which look cool in a riiraate like that of southern China. The floor of this building i raised a few feet above ti e ground level, so that the visitor gels a good v-eav ot tbo water anl oi-ier objects of interest in the garltin. Tht this is a - favorite lounge ar.d smoking place with the Chinese, the foHow ing Chinese notice, which we found on, one of the pillars, will testify! 'A Careful and Earnest Notice. This garden earneeily requests that visiters will spit betel ouUlde 6f the railing,- and knock the ahes off pipe also outside.' Several fine fruit trees and others are growing near the walks, and afford shade from the rays cf the sun. On one of the-e we read the following: Rimblers here tct'ZZ be excused plucking the fruit on this tree.' How exceedingly polite I "Near the centre of the garden stands a sub stantial summer house or ball, named the 'Hall of Fragrant Plants.' The same notice to amo kers and cb ewers of betel-nut is also put up here; and there is another and a longer one, which I must not forget to quote. It is this: 'In this garden the plants are intended to delight the eyes of all fTsitors; a great deal has been expend ed in planting and in keeping it in order, and the garden is now beginning to yield some re turn. - Those who come here to- sannter about are earnestly prayed not to pluck tbe fruit or flowers, in order that the beauty of the place may be preserved.' And then follows a piece of true Chinese politeness; 'We beg those who understand this notice to excuse it.' Pasing through tho Hall of Fragrant Plants, we approach, be tween two rows of Olea fragrans, a fine ornamental snits of rooms, tastefully furnished and decorated, in which visitors are received and entertained. Aa inscription informs ns that this is called tie 'Fragrant Hall of the Wooche Tree-' Leaving this. place by a narrow door, we obserrr ed the following notice: 'Saenterera here "will be excused entering.' This apparenUr leads to the private apartments of the family, : To this side of. the garden there is some artiflcial rock-orkj whieh the Chinese know : well how to con struct, and varions summer bosses tastefully de corated( oce of which is called the 'Library of Verdant Parity Between this part of the gar den and the straight walk already noticed, there is a small pond or lake foe fish and wa'er lillies.

The color of the Water, however, is turbid, but of a 'beautiful light green, different from the waters of any Western river I have ever seen. Tbe current is quite rapid, but not so rapid as the Mississippi. Little' low pressure steamers. like those on the Thames, of from 80 to 150 tuns burden, are constantly passing up and down for passengers and towing barges; but none of these steamers are as fine or as comfortable as one of our Western boats.- They have no state-rooms or cabins on the upper decks. There are, all along the river, on both sides, sloping hills, which often rise into , mountains, with here and there a ruined castle on the summit; but, though these slopes are often cultivated with vines al most to the very top, there is nothing in all this scenery which is equal in sublimity to the Hud. son, or in beauty and variety to our own Miasiss ippi above Prairie du Chien.

" . How the Batcher was Silenced. The lively eontribntor of the following, says there are as eood fish in the sea as ever were caught, and he has been hockinga few. The Rev. J. S. has achieved a high distinction, not only in our State, but in yours, as a very forcible, though a somewhat eccentric' preacher. He was at one time preaching in the city, where ne suit laDors, ana hai ia bis congregation a rnh but kind hearted butcher, who was a little given to dividing the sermon audibly among the Congregation fearing perhaps, that some of the hearers might not understand that the preacher meant them. On this occasion, Mr. S. had un dertaken to point out some of the faults of his people in relation to the "observance of the Sabbath; and proceeded something after this lash, ton: - . . . - r- . ": . "Even when you come to the house of God, my brethren, your thoughts are not on His word, or on heavenly or. divine . things. One of you, for instance will" be thinking of your whaling ships, (the town was a whaling port,) and reckoning how much money you will make out of it.r "That's you.

After the first j'y fil-greeting was over, the injured B. thus ad. dressed his truant spouse: 'Nancy, how could you take rip with that thar bnanbly ugly Hoosier, and '.-leave me and the children all forlorn, as ym did?' 'Well, Josh,' said Nancy, 'That thar tarnal ugly critter from Indianny. was a leetle the best whistler I ever hern tell on.

The pretense of the Republicans is, that they are in favor of the admission of free States. " The truth ia, they are in favor cf the admission; of Mulatto States, an ! violently opposed to the admission 'of such Free White States as refuse to encourage Negro Equality. .On the loth of May, 1 858, Oregon presented her constitution, ratified by th vote of the people, an J excluding' the institution of negro slavery. She had tber population for A member of Congress, and the Democracy were Tor admitting her. North and South the taking ia of this? free northern State was advocated by the National Democracy. It was opposed by the Black Republicans, for the following'reason?) to be found ia the speeches of their leading men. We qaote from the Corigres-" sional "Globe," pages 1964, &c: Mr. Fresscnden, of Maine, said, "by the laws of Maine under the Constitution of the Stats? of Maine, free negroes are citizens, just as much citizens of the State of Maine as white men. It bas been to solemnly decided by tbe highesr tribunal ?of onr State since the Dred Scott casi The Supreme Court of Maine has decided th att they are entitled td all the privileges, that the stand upon a perfect equality with white mer under tho Constitution and laws of the State. Tbey are voters, and recognized as citizens older the terms of the Constitution which allows any citiien to vote. There is a clause in the Constitution now presented from Oregon which prohibits free negroes from coming into the State and residing there; and it therefore prohibits a portion of the- citizens of the Stale of Maine from going to Oregon. I cannot vole for. the admission of any State, with a Constitution which prohibits any portion of my fellow citizens of my own State from tbe erjojmentbf the privileges which other citizens of the Stale haves-and which the citizens of every other Stile have. Hence, sir, inasmuch as a portion of the people that I represent, the free citizens of tbe State Of Maine, cannot by the provisions of his Constitution be allowed to go Oregon, to reside under any circumstances, it is an insuperable objection to my mind, and I cannot vote for the admission of Oregon as a State With such. Sr' Constitution." Now from the leader: of the .rtepnblicane of Ohio in Congress one of the orscle of the hy poeritical faction that opposes the great Demo cratic party of the Union, bceog: it preserves the R'ghtS of tbe States and thb stability of the . Con federal ioa, and resists the doctrines of, the "Conzo Creedl" Iu the same debcte in the Sen ate, Wade of Ohio, objected to Oregon, Ikecause hs he said, of a clause in the eonpti'tutiorv which '-declared. "That no Neerd, Chinaman, aor Mulatto shall have the right of suffrage." Here is not only the old "Congo Creed" doe; Irlne of Chase. GidJings, the Sttte Joureai,'Ac but itis carried further now. The they only demanded negro suffrage and equality, in Ohio. Now they say. that tbey never will mhmt another free State which does wot establish egro euf-fra?e, and, consequently prrjvide le Negro social eoueliry. In the same debate another great light of tbe! party; Wilson of Massachusetts, said; "the peo. pie of Oregon have adojtd e onafHuti'Mt es eluding slavery; but thy hav pal in a provision in this constitution, which 1 beliv to tx nneon': stitutional. inhuman and nnchrwtian.. They not-only exclude negroes and, mulatto- from resi, ding id the State, but they have made a pr vision that they cannot hold any real estate there to make contracts, not maintain any suit.' Now, Mr. President, I live in a Commonwealth-that recognizes the absolute and perffttequality-of all races. A Mulatto or Negro, in th State I represent is not only a citizen of the State; be1 not only has the right to Tote, but if tbe peopl choose to do it, they may elect him to any oflce' in their gift." . The doctrine laid down by Senator Wilson,-and now in force in Maine and Massachusetts Is-Ibe doctrine of the Republicans ff Ohio, and we dare them to deny it. Thus then w have shown, beyond all perad venture, that jhe Repub- . licans are opposed to the admission of free States unless tbelatter favor negro equality. It was for this reason, that the Republicans cf Ohio went against Oregon. Notwithstanding their efforts the bill west tbroneb tbe Senate, two to one.
