Thrilling Adyenture.--The St. Louis Demo.

Ihr1lliDs Adyenture.-The st. Louis Demo-
c,at OF the 9th, states that Captain Gray of the
Of the steamer Flag, accompanied by an English
man, visited the great cave, about three miles
shove 81. Genevieve, on Tuesday the 3d. When
about two miles. from the mouth they broke their
lamps, and CROPPED about in the dark, until they
found an opening upward, through which the
Englishman reached the surface marked the place
and returned to 81. Genevieve for assistance. On
his return, however, he was unable to find the
place. The party in search returned for further
assistance, and were eagerly joined by the officers
and crews OF four steamers. AT two O'Clock on
Wednesday they entered, and proceeding TO the
place where Captain Gray was last seen they
divided, and proceeding in different directions
continued the search till three o'clock on Thurs
day morning, when, TO the great JOY of all, he was
found. lie had sat himself down to die. He had
not only worn his gloves completely out, but his
fingers were worn TO the naked bone in his vain
efforts to extricate himself The flesh was worn
from his knees, and his boot toes and pant legs
We're also demolished. He was found at a dis
lance OF three and half miles from the mouth of
the cave greatly exhausted. He is now on board
his boat, and doing well. He was forty-three hours
in the cave. M

The Murder or Suicide of DIR. Lutener.-
This case continues TO excite the most lively in
terest in New York. The defence have com
menced the attempt to prove an alibi, and so
lar as Mt Hays is concerned, have pretty well
succeeded, unless the evidence Of the nurse who
lived with Mr.. and Mrs. H.. be shaken An effort
was made 10 do this by one or Two of the Jurors,
ny putting the witness (who is young grD under
a, rigid cross-examinaton, but without success.
ms witness testifies, positively, that when Mr.,
Hays LEFT his home at Harlem, for New York IN
the morning Tuesday Of the murder. il was len
minutes of ten o'clock, uhis she says she knows
from having looked at the clock when he went out)
and, consequently, he cannot have left Harlem be.

II usually takes train three quarters of an hour

was about fifteen minutes of eleven when che
found the Doctor dead, (and the evidence Of the
colored man who has charge Of the room in The
building, ana whom she passed on the stairs, goes
70 show that, II anything IT was even earlier than
that,) Mr. Hays did really commit the murder.
ne must have been quicker in his movements that
morning. than one would imgagne il possible for
anything mortal to be.
In the case OF Mrs Hays, as yet il has not been
attempted TO prove an abi nor is II exacilv
known whether il is the intention Of The defence
SO to do. The evidence the nurse goes TO show
that Mrs. Hays left her house before nine O'clock,
but her whereabouts, after that time, and before
the death OF the doctor has not yet been known.
The strongest evidence against Mr. and Mrs
Hays is afforded by the pistol found lying on the
floor in the doctors Office, and with which the
fatal deed was undoubtedly committed as the bull
let taken from the head Of tho deceased accurately
fitted il. The nurse, and also the serving-woman
of Mr. and Mrs. Hays, both testify that this pistol
is similar 10 which used to be lying around the
house, and which Mr. Hays seen TO fire Off in
the yard on Monday morning, though il is not
positively identified the same. The pistol, too,
both the witnesses agree they never saw in the
haLds of Mrs. Hays. The examination has not
been concluded. tff

liberated convicts--by serving their full tern-had
been Rhipped to Ireland. The different military
vacancies caused by death had been filed up.
We have two weeks later intelligence from New
Mexico, which viii be found in the HERALD this
morning. There was some excitement at Santa Fe
in relation TO various lawless acts committed by ct
zens Of Mexico, and the people were calling loudly
for the settlement of the Messila Valley boundary
An ARRAY had occurred at Santa Fe, during which O
much respected citizen of the place had been shot
by desperate fellow. Without waiting to ascertain
whether the wound would prove fatal upon the un-
fortunate individual, the inhabitants collected to-
gether and tried the euprit by the Lynch code and,
after being found guilty, he was Immediately hung.
A great reyulson seems TO have taken place in
the feeling at Cincinnati with regard to the Germans
who were arrested on suspicion that they intended
TO commit personal violence to Bishop Bedni, the
Pope's Nuncio. The prisoners have all been dis
charged, and the conduct of the polite is denounced
by certain parties having been most unjustifable
and outrageous. This being the case, it would not
be surprising to hear of another and more sanguin-
airy breach Of the peace before great while.
From the East we have acsounts of some fifteen
or twenty vessels having been driven ashore and
wrecked during the late storm. Indeed, one captain
states that he came around Cape Cod in company
with about seventy-ive vessels, most Of which he
thinks went ashore. For details the Geographic
dispatches.
The number of deaths in New York during the
last week Of 1853 was 4s2, showing decrease of
30 on the mortality of the previous week. OF these
81 died of consumption, AZ Of commissions, 10 of
Group, 20 of dropsy in the head, so osmapox 10 of

The UNION ON COALrTIONs.-The Union is
shocked at the idea of . coalition between Mr..
Everett and Mr.. Charles Sumner. 1t asks,
where is candor, where is decenoy, or, in the
absence of both, where is shame?"-the alb
scence of these last virtues being abundantly
established by the fact that Messrs. Everett and
Sumner both voted for Beverly Tucker as prin-
ter to the Senate. 1t sorrows over Mr.. Everett.
and bushes for so unnatural coalition" as
that evinced by these two gentlemen voting on
the same side on the choice Of printer. 1t is
to 70 through in the course Of the winter. Sup
pose for instance Nessrs. Everett and Sumner
should agree in supporting motion to adjourn,
the Union would again be thrown into convul-
sions and forced to exclaim, in the agony Of
its emotion, where is decency, where is shame?'
II the two Massachusetts, Senators should hap
pen to enter the house together, there would
again be wailing and gnashing Of teeth in the
Union Office, and the world would be called
upon to blush for 80 unnatural" an association.
We cannot, in fact, explain how it happens that
the Union has so long silently endured the fact Of
Mr.. Sumner occupying seat in the same cham
Der with Mr.. Everett Surely. If similarity Of
opinion in the choice Of printer proves an
unnatural coalition" the occupation Of seats
in the same room is primo Jacia evidence of
something Of the same kind. How has the
Union overlooked it?
The Union may well be sore on the subject Of
coalitions. We have seen many in the history OF
this country; but none we venture to say so utter
~ and irredeemably disgracefu as the coalition Of
free soilers and secessionists, to whom the gov
eminent Of this country is now entrusted. The

Again-on the Fry side Of the question, the
ST. Louis hfeiigencer, without advancing any
judgment of its own, quotes from other papers
their views of the verdict, and among them
gives an extract from the Epening Post, in
which the editor of the HERALD is styled +" the
Caliban Of the press who, for years, has outraged
decency and morality, almost with impuni-
ty" Thus glibly do these Pharisees of the
none are more notorious than they in foul
mouthed personal abuse. For example, these
Puritanical saints Of the Post, these abolition
philosophers, these sentimentalists in sckly dog
gerels, these innocent specimens Of gentility at
. midnight carousal, have for years past been
hunting down George Law with the hue and
cry Of stop thief" from one years end to ano-
Their; they have charged him with corrupting
Congress, with corrupting the Legislature, with
all sorts Of schemes and devices of disreputable
stockjobbing and disgraceful acts Of corruption.
And all for whats Because George Law, a. .
man Of business, was too sagacious to make the
Post, paper with small private circulation,

for once the Express has hit the mark. Why,
in this scandalous warfare Of the Post against
George Law, private citizen Of high standing,
it has laid itself open, according to the judg-
nent in the Fry case, to . string of libels which
ought to yield to the injured plaintiff q sum
