A Curious Substance.

(. N4 L a!
About three hours after the late explosion Of
the Lexington, some gentlemen ut Hawesyille,.
ten miles below the scene Of the accident, saw
at least q cartload Of substance tlht had tic,
appearance Of dirty foam, floating in the river
They put off to it in skitf, and found that IT,
bore Q strong resemblance to very porous
pumicestone. sWhensa piece Of 1t was taken !
from the water it smoked and emitted very
offensive gas for few moments, and il after
wards put back in the water, sank ila''s.
A considerable quantity Of this substance
was saved, but most Of it was permitted to itloat
down the river. "A piece Of it hat been pre-
sented to us, and it has the appearance Of sand
solidifed and partially vitrifed by intense heat.
1t is full oflarge and small cells, and, Of course,
very light and although the gentlemen st
Hawesvile testify that tld substance, after
having been taken from the water, would sink,
tie esp spsemen a u our possession is still light
The probability is, that there was q very
large quantity Of sand in the boilers of the Lex
ington, and that the heat to which it was th6ra
exposed, gave It the form in which II was after
wards found floating in the river. Louisville
