CAVE DIscovERED,-We learn from the Yer
mont Union Wing, that party of hunters discov-
cred a large and singularly beautiful cave in Man
chester, in that State, on the 7th inst. The cave
is situated upon the southern extremity of the Equ
nox mountain, about half way from the base to
the summit. The entrance is by gradual descent
of about thirty feet, into spacious apartment,
measuring thrty.six feet in length, twenty-seven
feet in breadth, and thirteen feet in height, and
having bottom as level, and almost as smooth as
floor. From this room, q narrow passage leads
into an apartment far exceeding the former, both
in extent and magnificence, and in which were
found three colossal pillars, twenty feet in height
and fifteen feet in circumference of spectral white
hess, and smooth polished marble. In the third
room We're found considerable quantities of iror
and lead, together with kind of ore resembling
silver. The explorations were continued until af
ter passing through no less than nine apartments
when the party found themselves upon the brini
of precpice. On throwing down large stone
faint splash was returned, after an interval o
several seconds, from which was inferred the ex
| istence of a pond of water at the bottom of tn,
abyss. The whole of the cavern, with the excep
tion of this pond, was perfectly dry. [Bost. Jour

Better our Christian rule, whose simple trust
Confides the dust. with tears. to kindred dust;
Holds in meet reverence still, the sacred clay,
The souls fair mansion in IT. mortal day;
But builds its home from human homc3 apart,
Nor mocks corruption " ith the toys of aIl;
To the frt sh earth, with meek and holy rite,
Conveys the shrouded clay from common light
Midst sacred gloom Of trees midst shadows meet,
That mingle well the solemn with the sweet;
Whers banks of thyme and daisy scent the ground,
While waters murmuI nigh with siumberous sound
Where the light hangs with mild autumna ruy,
And makes Sabbath of the liyelong day;
As sacred here, by Et'w wanlGs wave,
As Mamre's plain, old Macphelah's cave.

A Neglected Grave Yard.

1t is a Iamentable fact that in the Southern
States Gods Acre is too frequently neglected.

grounds are exempt from seiznre, so long as they
are exclusively appropriated to the dead we

mitted to interfere with the sacred spot But little
of that feeling manifests itself here In Baton

of erecting a fence around the grave yard, which

MINORS LEDGE LIGHTHOUSE. following
facts, gathered from of the assistant keepers OF
the Lighthouse on Minors Ledge, have thrilling
interest. 1t is well known that this light is con-
structed with ligh. iron fame, the posts being set
in the rocks, drilled for that purpose low water
the ledge being three miles dis INT from the
shore. The late storm commenced on Sunday
morning about o'clock, the wind blowing from
the northeast, accompanied with heavy snow and
preventing objects at distance of half mile from
being seen. During the day the storm increased
and on Monday MOI ming he oscillation of the
Lighthouse became so great from the action of the
sea, that the inmates could with difficulty keep
upon their feet, and, indeed, were frequently
knocked down. They were finally obliged to re-
treat to the store room, the next below their cook
ing utensils having been broken, and il being i'm
possible 10 remain where they We're Here they
| remained for four days, without sleep, and com
1iled 10 live upon dry bread and uncooked meat.
The chnneys in the light were continually being
thrown out, and OF course broken, and the diff
Guilty OF ascending to replace them may be inferred
from the fact thai the person who was compelled
| to perform this hazardous duty, was several times
| thrown from the ladder in consequence of the vi
| bration of the building, caused by the storm
| The spray assembled to the receiving deck, dis
| lance of some fifty feet, and thoroughly soaked
the provisions and every thing contained in ,ha
division-making 1t necessary to secure or remov,
them to the store room above.
| Thus, for four days and nights, the persons il
charge OF this light were not only in imminer
danger of losing their lives, but subjected to hard
ships that would have discouraged most men.
| On Thursday morning the storm abated, an
| the wind changing to the north, broke the sea.

MR.. RENCHER-THE REGISTER, &c.


The replies of the Republic and Register to the
Gard of Mr.. Rencher, recently published in this pa
per, to nothing. 1t is notorious that the Fed
era Government was backward in discharging its
duty, under the fugitive-save law, the time Mr..
Rencher made his journey to Boston with the hope of
securing his slaves; say this fact is notorious,
and do not therefore, go at length into the proos,
which We have at hand. Mr. Rencher's first letter,
published in this paper during last Winter, and his
late Card, Gin which he contradicts statement of
The Register the effect that he had used different
language in Washington City and here the same
subject,) contain facts which all the denuucations
and partizan statements of Mr. Fimore's organs can
neither dispprove overturn. We may we'll rest
the case as Mr.. Rencher has made it out, and
where he has left it.
The Register may abuse that distinguished gentle
man as much as it pleases-that !paper can neither
rufe his feelings njure him in the estimation OF
the people of Chatham of the State. He is above
the Registers envenomed shafts; indeed, we have
his own declaration that the ''vulgar and peurile
abuse of that freeso journal is beneath his notice.
We have nothing more to say.

HYDE COUNTY. On visit to Hyde last week, we
had opportunity to gather interesting facts in
relation to the farming operations in that county
The crops, both of corn and wheat, were excellent
better perhaps than before raised in the county,
1t is estimated by those fully competent form an
opinion, that 100, 900 barrels $500 900 bush
els) of corn will be shipped from the county, the
growth of this year. This, at 81 so barrel, amounts
to the snug little sum of quarter of million of dol
lars. One farm alone Judge Donnell's) produced
this year 1000 barels-35, 900 bushels Though the
lands in Hyde have soils of richness yet the
farmers ale waking up to improving them by means
of shells, Of which they have abundance at their
doors. $35, 900 were paid last week for land in
HYDE at the price of $50 per acre. David Carter
purchased SEQ acres of Caleb Spencer on North Lake
part nnceared, for which he paid $l5 900. And
Mr. Wynne sold his plantation of 400 acres, at Mat
tamuskeet, R. Jennett and B. Ensley for $4,000
The purchasers are citizens of Hyde, and practical
farmers, who bought these lands, for speculation
but to cultivate them. Three good crops from Them
they say, will pay back all they gave for them. What
say the good folks Of Beaufort, who have thousands
of acres of land equally good those in Hyde.
but now comparatively worthless to this! The land
which MIR. Garter paid $50 per acre for was bought
a few years ago by Mr.. Spencer, for dollar and

We have read it carefully, and, while admit it to
be unPretendng and respectable. find in it moth
portant subjects which have, during the past year,
excited the public mind. AS Americans, we were
mortified at the cruel GOODNESS with which it speaks
of the unfortunate American prisoners now in Spain
and the careless Indifference with which it leaves
them to the mercy of the besotted government of
Spain Such Indignant: feeling cannot but be excited
by careful analysis of the language and tone of
that portion of the Message touching the invasion of
Cuba.
Although acknowledging the prosperous condi-
ton of the national finances, the President repeats
his recommendation of change of the 'Fariff-not
