A few days ago three or four OF our
worthy citizens pail visi. to the Cave,
now attracting much attcntion,u under Look
out Mountain. With the usual amount OF
pine. some matches, and bread and cheese,
they worked their way along the man
passage until they found an aperture IN
some rock which let them down into a
lower chamber. This they traversed for
hours, when hunger and fatigue admomsh-
ed them that it was time to return. But
how short-sighted is man, especially when
several miles under ground! To the con-
sterpation Of the trio, the fearful truth
CROPPED its way to their senses that they
were lost! They were then beyond all
landmarks. No stranger had left his mark
upon the wall, and, with pine fast dunn
islling, fears came upon them of being bur-
led alive beneath the towering rocks OF the
Lookout. All jokes were laid aside, and
the company, with measured countenances,
gave vent to some very funny promises II
they could just get out Of these difficulties.
Hope was dying within them, when a

Shortly after they found the skeleton of a

vicissitudes, "weary and heavy laden, y
they found out their "bearings," and soon
merged into moonlight,after having travell-

Although the party suffered much that

This place is destined to great destinc-
ton, as the point where the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad will diverge in its passage
to the Ohio river. A writer in the Nation
al Intelligencer thus speaks of it:
"This valley is comparatively narrow,
and inhabited bya worthy and hard work
ing yeomanry; the soil is similar to that of
the South Branch Of the Potomac, yield
ing the best of corn, while that of the en-
tire mountain or upland region is better
adapted to wheat, oats, and potatoes
Beverly is the county seat of one of IL,
largest and widest counties in the State ri
Virginia-with few and literally narrow
exceptions, it is a country of rugged, I'M
cultivated mountains, portions of the ara
BILE lands having been estimated to be at
least two thousand feet above the level OF
the ocean, while the higher mountains are
from three to four thousand feet higher
than the same level. A rife is almost an
indispensable article in every dwelling,
and an idea of the value of the wild land,
upon an average, may be obtained by learn
ing that the tax which had 10 pay for a
friend upon one tract of thousand acres
amounted to tacelce anda half cents. Liv-
ing is cheap beyond compare, and quite
as good as it is cheap-the best of board
being obtained at $3.50 per week. In
fine, for the angler and hunter, Randolph
county is, in my opinion, the most interest
ing single county. in the United States"
All this will be changed when the rail-
road reaches thcre-the now wilderness
will then blossom as the rose"

Tho Board Of Directors of this Compa-

advertisementfor contracts for the construc-

the charter, thirty days notice the letting
OF contracts has tobe given. The surveys
are in such a state of forwardncss, that we
can confidently expect the commencement
of the construction of the road in a few
weeks. As yet, so far as we are advised,
no definite line of the road to leave the city,
or location beyond the city. has beenadop-
ted. These determinations will be made
iaume Tor contractors to inspect the routes,
make their estimates, and put in their bids.
The surveys, estimates, and every thing
pertaining to the letting of this par, of the
road, are IN such a state of forwardncss
that the various sections can be speedily
