Extraordinary Occurrence at the Blue
Ridge eTunneI--Burstin ing out of great
Water Cavern in the Mountain.
Correspondence Of the BALI more Sun.
SrAuNroN, Va, Aug, 90, 1856.
A remarkable occurrence took place at
the Blue Ridge Tunnel last night. The
third set Of workmen were engaged in
digging as usual. when one of them { Pat
Flagan) noticed that the texture Of the
rock before him changed suddenly from
hard to soft, and the soft was wet. Short
ly after, a-stream Of water issued from
an orificc he had made. This was sue
ceeded by a heavy rumbling sound like
the cars" which SO frightened the hands
that theysall made for the open air.
Well was it for them that they did so -
The sound continued to grow louder and
louder for some minutes, till crash was
heard, and Immediately vast stream of
water rolled out of the tunnel. An eye
witness says that the head of the stream
was at least ten feet high, and that it
swept carts and barrows before it like
chaff."
The stream continued to pour perfect
river till 12 O'Clock, when it gradually
subsidized. and was low enough at 3 P. M.
to allow US to make hasty survey of its
cause. It seems that there is, in the
middle Of the mountain, an immense cav
ern or pocket, in which water from the
melting snow has been deposited for
years, and that the line of the tunnel taps
this cavern at its center.

PERSONAL ATTACKS ON PRESIDENTIAL

that are being made upon Colonel Free
mont has ever been witnessed in this
country since The time of General jack
son. The two partisan old fogies who
are running on the democratic and Know
Nothing tickets respectively do not abuse
each other; they are very cautious in
their language in treating of each others
merits; for they know very well that nei-
ther could bear 10 have his record exam

new man, this interloper-what presump
lion it is for him to take the lead of the
old hack politicians How does he dare
10 distance men who have grown gray in

can't realize the phenomenon, and in
their confusion they and their supporters
fall TO abusing Fremont. And, as there
is nothing in the public life of Fremont
that can by any possibility awaken any
other feeling but admiration and respect,
they turn to his private life, criticise his
parentage, his family, his marriage, the
baptism of his children, his religion his
business operations, and his private af-
fairs generally, and try to cavil at them.
When we commented on the love story
which was published as an electioneering
document by Mr.. Buchanan's friends,
they were thrown into a paroxysm of
rage; but there is not an act of Col. Fre-
mont's life which his opponents do not
drag before the public and distort with
all the malignity of anticipated defeat

Life In n Powder Mill.

Dickens thus describes a visit to the powder mill
of Hounslow, near London:
In this silent region, amid whose ninety-seven
work places no human voice ever breaks upon the
ear, and where indeed no human form is seen, ex-
cept in the isolated house in which his allotted
task is performed, there are upward of two hun
dred and fifty work people. They are q peculiar
race, not of course by nature in most cases. but by
the habit of years. The circumstances of moment
ary destruction in which they live, added to the
most stringent and necessary regulation, have SUBJ
dued their minds and feelings to the condition of
their hire. There is seldom any need to enforce
these regulations Some terrific explosions here
or in works of similar kind elsewhere leave a
fixed mark in their memories, and act as constant
warnings.
Here no shadow of practical joke or caper of
animal spirits ever transpires; witticism, no
chatting, nor slang A laugh is never heard; a
smile seldom seen. Even the work is carried on
by the men with as few words possible and
these uttered in a low tone. Not that any body
fancies that mere sound will awaken the spirit Of
combustion or cause an explosion to take place,
but that their feelings are always kept subdued.
If one man wishes to communicate any thing to
another, or ask for any thing from some body at a
short distace, he must 60 there; he is never per-
mitted to shout or call out. There is particular
reason for this last regulation Amid all this ST.
knows that some imminent danger is expected the
next moment, and all rush away headlong from the
direction of the shout AS to running toward it to
offer any assistance, is common in other cases. it
is thoroughly understood that none can be afforded.
An accident here is immediate and beyond REM
edy. If the shouting be continued for some time
(for man might be drowning in river, that
might cause one or two of the boldest to return;
but this would be very rare occurrence. It is by
no means to be inferred that the men selfish
and insensble to the perils of each other; on the
contrary they have the greatest consideration for
each other we'll for their employers and think
of the danger to the lives of Others and of proper
ty at stake at all times, and more especially in the
more dangerous houses. The proprietors of the
various gunpowder mills all display the same con-
sideration for each other and whenever any i'm
provement tending to lessen the danger is made by
one it is Immediately communicated to all others
The wages of the men are good, and the hours
very short; no artificial lights ever used in the
work. They leave the mill at 81 o'clock in the
afternoon, winter or summer.

AN "ExTRA" CUSTOMER. An Irish dame entered
the post-ofice at -, and walking up to the post

letter-sending, informed her categoricay that the

PRAYING TO THE POINT. A certain lawyer who,
whilom, dwet in one of our New England towns,
noted for his over-reachings and shortcomings,
during revival-came under conviction, and re-
quested prayers for the furtherance of bis CONVEX
sion. His appeal was responded to by one of the
saints an eccentric but very pious old man hon
est, plain blunt, square-toed and fat-footed, who
thus went at it: :" We do most earnestly entreat
thee, Lord to sanctify penitent brother here;
fill his heart with goodness and grace, SO that he
shall hereafter forsake his evil ways and follow in
the right path. We do know, however, that it is
required of him who has appropriated worldly
goods to himself unawfully and dishonesty that
he shall make restitution four-fold but we do be-
seech thee to have mercy on this erring broth
er as it would be impossible for him to do that,

caring himself entirely, by his paying twenty-five

A Love Message.

Beautiful one thou art fair to me,
As the lilly that floats on the azure sea!
Thy deep, dark eyes, more lustrous far,
Than the light that comes from midnight STAR
And thy flowing curls, that my fond hand twnes,
More graceful than Summers dewy vines!
Ipine their wiowy grace to see,
For, oh thou art all the world to me!
Beautiful one thy tempting mouth
Is bright the roses of the South
Thy teeth are the cleaning pearls that start
From the crimson cactus blushing heart,
And thy breath, the perfume sweet that dwells
In the fragrant jas'mns golden bels
Where might breathe it, l long to be,
For, oh thou art all the world to me!
Beautiful one thy fingers white,
Are pure as the silver threads of light
That glide through my latticed window now,
And softly rest on my throbbng brow;
And the sound of thy little dainty feet
Than the light rains patter is far more sweet.

For, oh! thou art all the world to me.
Beautiful one! thy gentle breast
Is smooth a summer lake at rest,
Or heaves beneath my ardent gaze
Like waves meath the morn's enamored rays;
And the music of thy sweet low tones
Is spell my spirit gladly owns.
Would l could hear their melody,
For, oh thou art all the world to me!
Beautiful one! thy radiant mind
Is free as the clear sky, unconined
And thy thoughts flash out from its treasures bright
Like farest stars in the farest night
But more than mind, or beauty fair,
love thy heart, with its virtues
Dear heart! my jewel eer to be,
Surely, thou art all the world to me!
Light of my spiritl thou art to me,
Dearer than earth, or sky, seal
Grandest of anthems by proud waves made,
Sweetest low sighs thorough the forest shade,
Thrill not my soul like word from thee,
For. oh thou art more than life to

The stars to their regal banqueting-
But pine thy statelier step to see,
For, oh thou art more than life to mel

And to Loves impassoned, honed words
Breathed o'er my spirits trembling Chords
Yet my heart-strings vibrate but to thee,

To be fairest among the fair and bright;

The mountains and rivers, grand and Free
The mighty stars, and the forests dim,
And the lilies that lean DER the blue lakes rim;
But most, that He glorifed earth with thee,
For, oh thou art all the world to mel

To read unwrtten hear-replies

To be with thee ever, by land or sea-

complain that the prices at the store from which
they are compelled to receive their pay are very

A SLIGHT MIsAPPREHENsIoN. On board of one
of our Cape packets, not long snee one of the lady

chow cold | am asked with some earnestness, in
relation to the vessels course Hadn't you better

sailors will appreciate The lady responded with
some degree of tartness, and the Squire, who is
one of the most modest of men, was quite thunder
struck to find he had made SO unreasonable an OBJ
seryation
