Enchanted Mountains.-Tho following
account of natural coriosity is from tho
Texas Telegraph
This singular mountain or hill is situated
on the head waters Of the Saley--a small
tributary Of the Colorado, about eighty
miles from Bastrop, in north westerly di-
reclion. 1t is about three hundred fee,
high, and appears 10 be an enormous oval
rock partly imbedded in the earth. When
the sun shines, the light is reflected from
its polished surface as from an immense
mirror, and thewbole mountain glows with
such dazzling radiance. tha, the beholder
who Wsws it even from the distance Of four
or five miles. is unable to gaze upont with
out experiencing a painful sensation, simi-
lar TO that which is felt when looking upon
the rising sun. The ascent of this hill is 50
very gradual, tha, persons can easily walk
up to the top, but the rock is so smooth
and slippery ss,a, those who make. the al.
tempt arc compelled tn wear mnccasins or
stockings instead OF shoes. This act, to-
ge,her. will, the name Of the place, Holy
Mountain, remind the visi,an, very forcib.y
oflhe command made to Moses at Mount
Horeb, "Pu, offthy shoes from off thy feel"
DC. The Cumanches regard this hill with
religious veneration, and Indian pilgrims
frequently assemble from the remoiest bor-
ders of this tribe to perform their .Paynim
rites upon its summit.

BRITISH CONNECTION WITH lDoLA-
TRY. There is increasing strength of
feeling on this subject In India. A case
is stated, wherein christian soldiers We're
forcibly engaged for nine hours on a Ger
tain day, in doing homage TO idols, all the
time exposed to the rays ola burning sun
consequently at the risk of their lives
The ground assumed by the directors. is
this =" unless we thus honor the reli-
gious prejudices of the natives, they will
revolt, or their affections be alienated =
The Madras Conservative as quoted by
the Friend of India inquiries, How
long will the directors dare to avow, that
in order to fill their own treasury, and hu-
NOR their benighted vassals, they will
persist in supporting idolatry and impuri-
ty in heir foulest forms, and setting at
open defiance the commandments Of the
Most High The papers.
How singular are some mems powers Of discern
ment! They can see most clearly and distinctly,
ten thousand miles off, what being of the same size,
character and qualities, they entirely overlook at
home. That the British soldiery, in the East In,
dies, should say, If we displease these dolators
we shall lose our influence over them, is most a.
| bominable. And truly enough it is SOL But for
christians in the United States to proptate the ia
vor Of wholesale robbers and extortioneGs, duests
and ulurderers, drunkards and whcremongers, is
altogether consistent and comrnendable!
