cinders from which were carried as far as Con.

current The lava now is8ue from the base OF
the cone, passing down the valley below Piano
1elle Gnestre, and falls into the great ravine
known as the Sasse Grande, $50 feet deep by
l,0OO feet broad, which is now completely filled.
Below this it cut across the carriage road in
three places, destroyed about twenty houses and
some olive groves and vineyards, and is now
near the Cemetery OF Portice, whose inhabi-
tants are full of apprehension. 1t is estimated
that 2s, 600 600 cubic yards of lava have issu ed
from the crater during this eruption The
temperature Ofthe lava is 2, 900 degrees Fahren-

with molds in which they cast medallion heads

Some curiosity has been expressed to ascer-
tain the disposition made by the Virginisns of
The bodies of the insurgents at Harper's Ferry.

/ gentleman in Virginia to his friends in this
state, that the corpse of one of the sons of
| Brown was taken for dissection, 10 the Medical
Hospital at Winchester. There il Law for a day
or two, exposed naked 10 the view of crowds
who thronged the place, to crafty their euiios-
iiyi and ouch was the venom excited by the
object, that the chivalrous Vrginians, in num-
berless instances, kicked the body of young
Brown, as it lay ghastly, Ibloody corpse on
the floor at their feet.-Cn. Com.
Tie Tnbune's Charlestown correspondent
learns from the Colonel in charge at Harper
Ferry that the bodies of the dead insurgents
were all hurriedly and loosely thrown into the
ground, but we're exhumed the same night and
carried away for dissection at the medical col
