What was she like2 cannot tell.
] only know God loved her we'll
Two noble sons her gray hairs blest- t"g
And he, their sire, was now at rest.
And why her children loved her So,
And called her blessed all shall know:
She never had a selfish thought, ... ...
Nor valued what her hand had wrought.
She could bejust in spite of love;
And cherished hates she dwelt above;
In sick-rooms they thnt had here care
SAID she was wondrous gentle there. ela
II was fearful trust she knew,
To guide her young irnmortals through; Z
But Love and Truth explained the way,
And Piety made perfect day. ..' .-..
She taught them to be pure and true, 5
And brave, and strong and courteous, too;
She made them reverence silver hairs,
And feel the poor mans biting cares.
She won them ever to her side;
Home was their treasure and their pride;
It's food, drink, shelter pleased them best,
And there they found the sweetest rest
And often, as the shadows fell, . a.
And twilight had attuned them well. s
She sang of many noble deed, r ....
And marked with joy their eager heed.
And most she marked their kindling ewes.
When telling of the victories

II was a noble land, she said
Its poorest children lacked not bread.
IL was so broad, so rich, so free, aI.
H Ihey sang its praise beyond the sea.
And thousands sought its kindly shore.
And none were poor and friendless more;
All blessed the name Of Washington,
And loved the Union, every one.
She made them feel that they were part

Sad was the hour when murmurs loud r
From a great black advancing cloud tau

Brave youths their zeal proved clearly thei
In such an hour youths can be men
By day she went from door TO door.
Men caught her soul unfeft before;

A letter from one of the soldiers in camp
at Beaufort, Dec. l4th, TO the Wheeling In
telligencer, says:
Most of the residences are elegant to a
degree seldom seen at the North. The sur

beauty of tropical cultivation, flowers in

mansions show that their lords rolled in

resentment at their unnatural rebellion, it

place but a repetition Of wreck and ruin

astonishing. Rosewood and mahogony are
heaped in piles Of fragments, letters and
papers Uttered on the floors, books torn up,
pianos broken for what was supposed by the
blacks to be hidden in them, beds emptied,
and all done by the affectionate chattles
who were to defend their masters lives BY
sacrifice of their own. They deserved il

CAMP GEoRGE WooD, Mumfordsville, XIV.
December 18th, 1861.
Since wrote you last, / have visited new
Cave, which is situated two and half miles
from here, and is the largest one this side of the
Mammoth Gave. AS l stated before this is a
cavernOus country-and that there is not much
else than caves. This one is called Red Cave.
Myself and four others started out few days
days ago dressed in our best clothes which
were poor enough for the occasion. At l o'clock
we reached the subterranean passage, lit our sol
iiary candle, and placed the descending ladder
IN position. The entrance was of sufficient
size for man TO walk in without STOPPING, and
we descended the descending cliffs of rock for
oOO feet, where we commenced an ascent. We
entered room, from which there were 81 exits
or passages, for further explorations This room
is SO by ~ feet wide and 1893 feet in height
down the stone walls of which the dripping
waters had CONCEALED into small columns Of
S'V"S'I ho SeeHc III tnls room was grand, and
we stood for long time looking at the wonder
ful and magnificent works of nature. The arch
es were admired for their perfect masonry For
three-fourths of mile we followed the direct
passage, which was 200 feet in height, while we
walked about 80 feet above a stream of water.
Our candle being very near used up we return
I'd to the rear room, where we assembled the stone
stairway, and found that five chambers stood
one upon another, varying in height from is to
Il feet, We again descended, and started in
another direction, and found stone Dit about
so feet in depth, and "a feet in diameter, and
from its bottom passage, or exit, but time pro-
hlbited descent. Another change of fdirection
to the right, and we went into the dismal ms
sage We had probably not gone over 500 feet
when the air became cold and seemed to be un-
der the influence of some evil spirit, for we had
not gone so feet farther when our candle, with.
out any visible agency, despite our efforts.
ceased to burn. This of course compelled
retreat, and we went to the base of a stone col
nmn, which was 70 feet in height and as feet in
diameter, and examined the sculptured work of
nature. We found pure spring of cold water,
md taided in giving us strength to search for
knowledge under difficulties. We had 10 de-
part, for our candle was no more. We reeained
he entrance with torn clothes and bleeding
hands, for the experience of cave adventurers is
sometimes sad We left Is passages unvisited.
