ton. These six fountains threw up
Jets from thirty to fifty feet high. The
fountain, from the spray of which so
hastily rctrcatcd, made y large dcpos-
it of molten lava on the bank where
was standing, and when it ceased I
procured some very good specimens.
A short space Of inactivity cnsued, and
then the waves of fire commenced to
roll and dash against the little island,
rs we at first saw them. Native ira
dition says that this crater has been
burning from from time in1memoria}.
The most wonderful and mysterious
phenomena VIC witnessed was on the
second day of our visit to the crater.
1t was noon and we were sitting on y
wind, to avoid tic Intense heat of the
lake. l was startled by noise like
the rushing together of vast bodies of
water. The natives junlped up in
stantly and raised an uncarthly shout,
scampering in an opposite direction.
Turning toward the lake, I bcheld q
secac which I never shall forget. l..
too, had to run off some distance
to escape the great heat. Tho whole
surface of the lake was in a state of
the widest commotion. Wave
clashed on wave, and all was confusion.
Tremendous pillows of fire rolled
from every side of tho lake to the
center, and meeting in fierce conflict
around the island to- the centre, broke
with fury over it's black sides. Then
after rcceding again they rushed to
the onset once more, with increased
force, and meeting together, shot up
into the air perhaps 100. feet-oue
vast spiral body of red liquid lava,
which finally combcd over and fell in
graceful spray back into the lake
again. - an-.

TIE FLOATING BATTERY AT
CHARL ESTON--ANOTHE DES.
CRIpTIDN or IT.

| \N11 lON
Tho Charleston correspondent o1
the New York Iiznfs writes on the
18th ult:
have ust returned from visit to
the famous floating battery or raft
which is now entirely completed, and
i. will be launched at the first favorable
tide. There have been so many crnde
ideas concerning that novel weapon,
and such ridiculous ideas concerning
it's real ehject,that q genuine and posi-:
tive statement Of its positive powers
and purposes will, of course, be inter
csting. 1t may be relied upon, as
had It direct from a leading person
employed in the construction of the
new military leviathan.
Your readers will please imagine q
huge box, forty-six by eighty feet,
|picrcea for a sufficient humber OF
riaed cannon, and a roof covered with
8 thick plates of the best sheet iron,
and rendered perfectly bolnb-proof:
It will draw, with the armament and
the complement of -500-only
four feet. At jutlicious time or turn
of the tide, it will be foatcd down by
the aid of two steam tugs, to point
on the land or inner side of Fort Sum
ter, distance just GOO yards.
At such = proximity Major Andcr-
sons guns, the say cannot be detected;
and thus secure from his..terrible col
lumbiads &c, they will pepper away
at the weak part facing Morris and
James Islands,until they effect an en-
trance; Or, military speaking make a
breach. Thus having him at advantage
with the Cummings Point batteries,
now immensely strong, shelling HIM;
with Moultric's fearful cannonading,
also new terrible customcr with
James Island, too, pouring in the iron
rain, they think the little band at
Sumter will be very like the poor fly
that became completely entanglcd in
the mcshcs of the spider. 1t is my de-
liberate impression that with the ex-
traordincry activity that has been dis.
played since I left my labors, that
Major Anderson will be utterly ami
hilatcd when they do commence.
Some grim customers of eleven inch
bore have just been received here,
and they will be mounted within a

LAKE OF FIRE.

A correspondent of the 1ltn Gull,
.fo'',sia,. gives the following incidents of
4 visit to the volcano Kilanca, in the
Sandwich Islands, thirty-six miles
from Hilo. After saying that the
crater Of this volcano is in vast nit
in the midst Of an immense plain, hav-
ing only a gradual rise to the center
and that within quarter of annie is
the entrance to-a great cave, which he
and his guide cxplorcd-hc says:
Suddenly we came to high bank,
and looking down we behold the lake
Of fire. beneath us about seycnt-fivc
feet. This lake is something more
than mile in circumference. There,
in full view, were real waves of liquid
fire, ola bright red color, sputtering
and splas}ing like ocean waves! A
little island ofhard lava stands in the
middle Of the lake, against the black
sides Of which the waves Of fire dashed
with tremendous fury, and breaking
on its jagged cliffs, they would cast
their rcd spray high into the cir. The
sides Of this lake arc solid walls of red
fire, glowing with fearful intensity.
We were standing on the windward
bank, with 4 strong cold wind blowing
down, yet the heat was so intense that
we could only look for moment at a
time, then turn away to catch the ro-
freshing influence of the cool breeze.
In addition to the roaring and Kissing
Of the lake, we heard at short intervals,
sounds much resembling that Of 4
steamer blowing off steam, only intin--
itely louder, an ominous glowing of
pcnt up forces struggling III subterra-
ncGl caycrns, ut which tho earth
seemed to trcmble. Occasionally,
large masses of the cooled lava on the
edge ofthe lake became detached, and
falling into the boiling cauldron, were
instantly reduced to a liquid state.
"Aftcr a few minutcs' silence, dis:
turbed only by an occasional kissing
and muttering, | was startled by that
owc-inspiring sound ofesoaping steam.
In an instant a faint glimmering Of rcd,
like q sheet Of lightning, shot out over
the overhangins brink where I was
standing, and ran across the lake.
This was q signal for change in the
programme. Immediately the whole
lake became ofa bright red color, and
fountains nj sprangg lp.aog up ilf different parts
