/ AN IRON MAN-SINGULAR PErRIFAcrIoN.-
On Saturday last, gentleman brought into

part of an Iron Man, found ia the ore 6edl--
The part we saw was the foot and part of the
Reg Having been converted into iron by by a
gradual process, the mnutest divisions as be-
tween the toes &c. were visible; but the ge.i-
erai outline of the foot and ankle were papabe.
The spreading across the toes-the general
outline OF tho toes--the heel--ankle, &C., were
perfectly plain. We were told that the head and
arms we're still more pefect! There could not
be the least doubt of its having been man. Nor
is there much doubt of the manner in which it
came in this condition. The body must original
y have been petrified in lime; but of this there
remains now only the outside ncrustation, which
will crumbe off. What was The man is now iron.
By som natural process the iron must have grown

How did this change take piacel If we are
right, and the facts seem 10 leave no room for
doubt, this Iron Man would afford one of the most
beautiful subjects for Geological lectue. The
Iron ore, IN which it is found, is called the Caca-
reous Formation. The process of It's formation,
would be an instructive study.--Cin. Chon.

Mr.. E.lt01-I had thought that this was
an age Of Improvement. But when am
brought to take a view of the present ar
ranyemcnt of the mails in this Section of
our state: | am constrained to believe that
olr interests arc Intentionally neglected or
that those who have the management of the
mails at present must be rather green.
How stands the case with all that section of
country from Slnithvillc in AbbeviIlc Dis
trct for miles on either side Of the Line to
Waterloo in Laurcns District. Arc our
mail Communications received as early
us they should be? They certainly
are not: DO we receive our communications
as early as we did under other Administra-
t'ons! This question may be solved by il
reference to the PCS, Office Books on the
Line from Smthvil.c to Waterloo. The
account Of mails at those Offices [ pre-.
sumo, will show that previous to the
appointment Of Ills Honor CAVE JouxsoN.
that communications were rc:eiv,; IL. the
above named Offices from Charleston early
on the third day. And this too was done
principally by Horse power. Tie mails
are now tran 'portcd from Charleston to
columbia and Ilamburg in one day, which
bring our mails within Scventylivc miles
ol us and then strange To say Three days
and il fraction is consumed i'm rcachin"
the Offices in the section above alluded to.
ma king the time say four and half days,
when it should not be more than Two and
Il half days:
The mails should leave Co.um bia al 2
a. M: and arrive at LanrcAs G. Fl on The
same day by sp.m M. The cross mail would
receive them next morning at 6 a. m, and
supply the Offices between Laurcns G.. Fl.

Thus making the time from Charleston in
two days anl Il half, And this is allowing
ample time. MIR. Editor CHI situation calls

DEXrEErry OF INDIAN TnlEvES.-Once
during the pursuit Of tho P;n,larrics, con
siderable amount Of money was sen, 10 our
camp 10 pay large division of The army.
Our tents were pitched in a wild, hilly and
JungIy country, and us it was known that
the treasure was coveted by several of the
plundcring gangs. a havildar's or scrgeant's
guard was posted to watch The four tumbriIs
IN which the money was placed. Sudden
y in the middle of the night, gang of
these robbers, who seemed to have risen
out Of the earth, attacked the scpoys sword
III hand, while others attempted to break
open the tumbriIs. The sepoys made a
desperate resistance at the point Of the bayo-
net, and successfully protected their charge
until the arrival of rcinforccmcnts compeIl-
ed the plundcrers to make hasty retreat.
Several Of the robbers were killed, but not
before some Of the scpoys had received ma
ny severe sabre wounds. 1t would be i'm
possible to give an adequate notion of the
craft and perseverance displayed by these
robbers In ascertalning the amount and the
exact position of any property they may CO.
vet, and the almost incredible dcceplions they
practlsed on the possessors. Precautions
are almost useless for the contrivanccs
employed.
Horses ever so securely pickctod and
guarded have been stolen from the midst of
the camp; the whole property in room Or
tent has been swept away without awalsing
the sleeping owner; nay, the very matrass
has been removed by thief, without dis
turbing the slumbers of the officer by whom
it was occupied. 1 witnessed the perform
ancc of this last named feat, when in the
camp at Trichsnopoly, by one Of the colliries,
class of persons noted for their expertness
and adroitness as thieves. 1t was then per-
formed for wager, to convinceaan incredu-
lous officer of the surprising dcxterity of
Indian thieves. When the officers breath.
ing gave proof of his being in a sound sleep,
the Colliry entered the room stealthily as
cat, taking with him small chafng dish,
on which he burned some Intoxicating
herbs, especially the seeds of the bag or
hemp plant, which is nearly as powerful a
sophoric as opium. HeaIIowed the officer to
inhale some of the supplying fumes, and
then gently tickled him with a. Feather; as
ne mechanically shrank from the tickling,
the thief adroitly pulled away the matrass.
untilhe succeeded in removing i,al.ogether,
when he went out of the room without he.
ing detected. s., &. -. l,@
