left this apartment We passed the "Pillar
of the World" 400 yards from the Gu
trance. where we entered another spacious
apartment, so yards in length, called the
"Crucifxion of Christ, in the centre 0i
which are two pillars Of the same calcar'-
GUS formation, 10 feet in height and one
foot in diameter, called the Cross. Near
this are snow white chrystals, formed py
the drippings of pure water which were
tinged with purple, like blood. The cell
ing above is adorned by small stalactltes
of pure white, hanging like small iclcles'
clistenipg like gems in the light. Leaving
this beautiful chamber, We came to the spe-
cimou room, which is one of the most at
tractiYe places in the whole cavern. This
room Is in form semi-circular, around the
base of a steep hillock, composed of trag-
ments of rocks that had fallen from its loi-
ty ceiling ages agO-up tie steep and rag
gcd sides we climbed, or rather craWled'
taking foot-hold or clinging to the small
stalagmites that covered the rocks. The
whole roof just above our heads, was COW
cred thick with stalactites of every hue,
from the snowy white to those pale and
muddy, and from the size of a pipe stem'
and hollow, to those of several inches IL
diameter, hanging to within a few inches
of the rocks below. Tons of specimens
could be obtained here, without visibly
marring the beauty of the place.
Continuing along in long and narrow
PASS, We passed "Lot's wife" pillar four
feet high and one foot in diameter, very
much resembling salt in appearance. As
we assembled up a rugged path, We passed
"Gabriefs Trumpet" seven feet long and
six inches in diameter. Here our narrow
pass turned to the right, and we came to a
fine sulphur spring, its water trickling
down into a dark. deep and impenetrable
abyss the rocks having the appearance OF
sulphur; on throwing stones down in this
hole, dismal sound, like hoarse grOwl,
was heard, and mc-thOught l smelt the
fumes of birthstone. Horrifed, L turned
away from this sO-called Devils Den,
into the other passage that lead us into
beautiful room called the Garden of E.
den" Here stood the Tree of Good and
Evil" the top of which had been broken
off by some ruthless hand. The roof above
,yas most pe,rJrtrttsssya arehed, and apparent
Iy studded with gems which glistened by
the reflection of our light, like so many
stars.
Being half mile from the entrance, and
our lights growing short, we retraced our
steps without any serious casualty, loaded
with rich specimens, and well paid for the
tolls and dangers that We encountered. 1t
is said that explorers have followed the
stream through the hill distance of near
Iy mile, the passage narrow, difficult and
unintcresting The entire body of rock
above the cavern, is solid Limestone, from
which the water for ages has been dripping
down, forming the numerous stalactite and
ealcareous formations found in this cavern.

For the Chronieie.
THE MOUNTAINS OF TIME.
By ESTERIA.

Time is like range OF mountains,
Reaching to eternal shores,
Holding gushing, PurlIng fountains,
Rich with diamond cleaning stores;
Yet within its caverns, dimly
Lighted with phOsphoric beams,
Reptiles coil, and demons grmly
Battle underneath its streams.
Smiling years rise up in glory
Others calmly bide the storms
All unmoved, though dark and CORY
With the blood of myriad forms.
On the Past, we see the traces
Of the march of pilgrim man;
Fancy we behold the faces
Whom the hordes of Death o'er-ran.
On the peaks THE GONE have Travelled,
Lo! the snow shows dusk and red,
And their paths would lead. if raveled,
Backward through wall of dead.
But the Future rears phalanx
High, and cleaning sanity white,
Seeming aye to kiss the star-ranks
Clothed and crowned with holy light.
All its SUBMITS Hope has gilded;
Hung a mist before its caves;
Leaf-hid all the gloOms of wildwood,
Roses spread o'er waiting graves.
All the Past is bleak and gloomy;
The TO CONF in promise glows;
Only in the Present, mingled,
Are Life'spleasures and her woes.
Thou in whom is hope of heaven,
Guide US forward on our march,
That each year may leave us nearer
To Thy high eternal arch,
Where the True, the Pure, the Holy,
Blend in rays of light Divine;
There amid Thy smiles of glory,
Bid our stars forever shine.

THE UNDE BUSS.
"To SHOOT FOLLY"
Example VS.. Preeept.


WARREN, O., Jan.
One evening, not long since, seeing ;
number of boys about to enter billiard sa
loon, we hailed them and as is our wont
cautioned them about visiting such, places
very eloquentiy pointing out the many dan
gers that are constantly lurking neal, show
ing them that they were about taking one
and perhaps, their first downward step, t.
be followed in all probability by the next
one. which is very easily taken from tht
gaming saloon, viz: profanity, and ther
comes iuremperance and crime, and tn,
prison, and perhaps the gaLloa0s, all in tht
same direction and connection.
We ehquired whether their fathers per
mitted them to go to such places, "No. >
was the reply. "but then they don't care,
they tell US to stay at home and then 60
and play billiards themselves "My ia
thcr is playing billiards over at Mace's,
noW," said one little fellow, 'and SO is
mine. and he plays every night" said an
other, "and can see no more harm in
playing at Mr.. Cues, than there is at Mr..
Mace's, and no more harm for a boy to
play, than for his father, and VIC think our
fathers know what is right just as well as
you do
This was settler" and the boys tax
ing advantage of our confusion, ran up
stairs into the saloon, whilst we walked
slowly toward our office, pondering on the
folly of expecting boys to follow precept
when example calls much louder in the op-
posite direction.
This practice reminds US very much of
the old gentleman who was accustomed to
use the word "raly," very frequently in
his conversation, his boys thinking it all
right, of course, because their father did SO
soon qualified a great many of their ex-
pressiOns by ''raly,' until the old man fin
ally forbid them saying "raly," at all. and
threatened to thrash the first one of them
that said 'raly,' and the more certainly to
punish the offenders, he appointed each one
a guard over the other, to report immedi-
ately, the first lisp of rally
1t wasn't long before Joe came running
into the house saying, "father, Peter said
'ralS'" "did he, 'raly,'" said the enraged
old man. ayes rally he did," said Joe.
''TheD rally III trOunce him." said the
father, and poor Peter rally had to take

Decision of an Important Land Case
-Mileage-GoVernment Printing.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The long contest
ed land claim between James H. Lane and
Gaines jackson, involving the title to a
valuable quarter section Of land adjoining
Lawrence, Kansas, has been finally decided
by the Commissioner of the Land Office,
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs and
the Secretary of the Interior, unequiyocally
in favor of General Lane.
The merits of the case have been exhaus-
tibly presented on both sides by eminent
legal advisers, and involved the original
parties in all personal conflict on the claim
resulting in the wOunding of Gen. Lane
and the death of Gaines Jackson The case
has excited great interest throughout legal
circles, the various Departments and the
country at large. The decision indicating
Gen. Lane in his right to the property was
rendered on the last day of December.
At the commencement of this year, Gen,
Lane presented to the attorney Of Mrs.
jackson the sum of $1,000 as a free will
New Years Offering of kindness and sympa-
thy.
The opinion of Comptroller Whittlesey,
acquiesced in by Secretary Chase, is that,
according to the present law regulating the
compensation of members of Congress, they
can receive mileage only for the regular
session; therefore, mileage for the July ex-
ira session remains to be provided for by
future regulation. 1t may be stated that
several Senators were paid their mileage
before the opinion was officially furnished
for ministerial guidance.

THE "OS TO RICHMOND" ORAToR.-The Hon.

the Second district of Ohio, vino made such q

Is the same individual who ran twenty-seven
miles without hat, coat or boots from that battle
field, and beat his own horse and gig into Wash
ington by nearly an hour The facts in rela-
ton to this astonishing feat of pedestrianism,
as represented at the time, were, that Mr.. Cur
ley, anxious to witness the "total rout of the
rebels, took his own conveyance and followed
General McDoweli's army on its "march to
Richmond When the battle commenced at
Stone Bridge he fastened his horse to a tree
and secured safe and commanding position
in order 70 witness the fight. The result was
disastrous to our brave troops, and it finally
became necessary for spectators, as well as SOL
diers, to look out for themselves; and prompted
by the first law of nature, Mr.. Gurley sought
his carriage; bnt greatly to his astonishment, he
found that some person, who, no doubt was
equally anxious for his own safety, had appro-
priated it No time was to be lost, and Mr..
Gurley Immediately divested himself of hat,
coat and boots, and struck for Washington,

The ToPoGRAPHIcAL CoRPs-Irs VALUE AND
DEFICIENCY the officers of the Coast
Survey are to our naval operations the Topo-
graphical Engineers are to the operations of
Our armies. The value of the Coast Survey has
been clearly shown in connection with our
naval expeditions, and especially at the
memorable bombardment of Port Royal,
and in the recent movement of our feeet
to the rear of Fort Pulaski. There the
officers of the Coast Survey buoyed out the
channel, and, by their accurate knowledge of
the harbor soundings, enabled Commodore
Dupont to devise his brilliant plan of attack.
Now, it is equally necessary on land that our
armies should be acquainted with the ground
upon which they are to fight; and just this
knowledge the Typographical Engineers supply
But this branch Of the service is sadly deficient
and sadly neglected in our army, although
there are thousands of civil engineers in the
country capable of performing such service
and willing to enlist 1t is the duty of Con-
gress, therefore, to authorize the President to
call out these engineers and form them into
Typographical corps This important matter has
been overlooked among the clamors raised
about others of much less moment, and we
hope that it will be attended to Immediately.

the Burnside expedition, censuring its design
and its mode Of operation, and prognosticating
Its failure. 1t seems that the abolitionists, who
formerly cried "Onward to Richmond, with such
ill-timed vehemence as to bring on the fatal
disaster of Bull run, now take the other tack, and
utter, with the same ill-timed vehemence, false
predictions of Union disasters. The abo-
litionists are ever ready to blow hot or
blow cold, as it may serve their dia-
bolical schemes in and out of Congress.
To our thinking the Burnside expedition is get
ting on very well indeed, and we regard it as
an almost miraculous dspensaton of Provi-
dence in favor of our cause, and as an evidence,
also, of the superior skill, knowledge and judg-
ment in the management of our forces, that so
few accidents occurred during the terrible
storms off Hatteras We still hold to our
conviction that the expedition was weh-plan-
ned; and, if there is any mismanagement about
1t, the fault lies at the door of those contract
ors of the Iribune's own political caste, who
sold the government oil, camphene and kero-
ssne barrels for water casks, and represented
that vessels really drawing thirteen feet of wa
ter drew only seven or eight. Let the IFs6w,e
reserve its censures for these chaps, and re-
strain its eagerness to attack an administration
whose chief fault in the view Of the Tribune,
and greatest merit in the view of all sensible
mon, is its conservatism. What Congressional
schemes the abolitionists have to serve by this
attack we neither know nor care; but we are
certain that Burnside is too good general to
do anything rashly; that his troops are not
shoddy, though his ships may be, and that be-
fore long we shall hear such news from the
Burnside expedition that the Tribune will be
obliged to publish another "Just Once" con-
ifession, and acknowledge itself as far wrong in
its present evil representations as it formerly
was in its "Onward to Richmond" clamor.

there has been no question of such intense inte-
