and the cave was visited by Mr.. E. S
Brown, mineralogist, who found the
entire cave was made of jasper, of mag
nifcent color and quality. The entrance
is so small that man can barely enter
it on his hands and knees.
| About ten feet from the entrance it is
nine feet high and fifteen wide, opening
into fine apartment sixty feet in
length, formed of jasper of delicate
blue ash color, striped with fire red, SO
exquisitely beautiful as to draw exclam-
ations of surprise and admiration from
the dulest student of nature.
But the wonders of the cave do not lie
in the fact that it is formed, but in the
fact that the long-disputed question is
now settled where the Indians of New
England got their Jasper to make their
arrow heads. 1t has never been known
until now where this jasper Of blue
color, which they used, came from.
There can be no doubt that the Indians,
hundreds of years since, commenced the
work of chipping off pieces, and continu
ed their work until a cavern sixty feet in
extent was cut out of the rock, for the
top and sides of the cave all show it has
been Clipped in many thousand places.
In many places the vein Of Jasper has
been cut 10 its intersection with the
granite, and there the work stopped. An
Indian axe and tomahawk were found in
the bottom Of the cave, such as were
used during the French and Indian
wars, VIXEN the Pequawhets, Pennacooks,
and Androscoggins wandered In this
beautiful region-in which their savage
implements are now found in abundance.
Berlin Falls is in Coos county, Now
Hampshire, within an hours ride of
Gorham.

Iron form ed by Amin alc lcaies.

The Journal de PInstructioa PuJli9ae
contains curious article by NJ. Oscar
de Watterville, in which he announces
the fact not generally known, that in the
lakes Of Sweden there are vast LAYERS or
banks of iron. exclusively built by ami.
rnalcules, not unlike those that have laid
the foundation of large islands in the
ocean, by silently and for ages cement
ing matter with matter, SO as to create
those beautiful forms known as madre-
pore, mille-pore, corals, DE. The iron
thus found is called ia Sweden lake

form, into gunpowder, pearl, money. or
cake ore. These iron banks are from 10
to goo metres in length, aud from to
Is broad, and from a fourth to three
fourths of q metre and more in thickness
In winter the Swedish peasant. who has
but little to do in that season, makes
holes in the ice Of a lake, and with long
pole probes the bottom, until he has
found an iron bank. An iron sieve is
then let down, and with sort of ladle.
conveniently fashioned for the purpose,
the loose ore is shovelsd into the sieve,
which is then hoistsd up again. The
ore thus extracted is of course mixed
with quantity of sand and other extran
eous matter, which is got rid of by wash

diggsrs. A man may get out tun oil
ore per day by this process.

Our Present Dangers.

| COL Forney writes to the Philadelphi;
Press
al know that there are those in the
free States who will resort to every arti.
fee TO turn the Presidents proclamation
into means Of injury to the common
cause. God help our country in this
her last trial Attacked by traitors in
the South, betrayed by ingrates in the
North, she now, more than ever. needs
the service and support OF her children
Will not her many sufferings awake the
fire Of affection in the hearts Of those
who have heretofore been deaf to her
appeals =? A strange nation, in the con
dition Of free people of this country,
would excite the sympathy of these
sympathizers with treason. But they
are Indifferent 10 the cause of the mother
country that bore them, on whose broad
breast they have grown rich and great.
Out of every act Of the Administration
to protect and preserve the Government,
these wretched partisans fabricats new
elements of strife and dissension. There
is-there must be-a limit to this atroc-
ious treachery in our midst. The people
should see to it, or they are lost. II the
cf ha ha ~
Breckenridge in 1860, and of his treason
able doctrines Of 1869, are now permit
ed to SOW the seed of a new reyolt-in
fact, to lay the groundwork of a peace
that would breed unending war-six
months more will find the loyal States
broken into dozen fragments, the de-
pendents of united South, and prey
of the jealous monarchs of the Old
World. There is way to crush and
anticipate this great danger. The people
must rebuke the shameless demagosues
who, under the cloak of Loyalty, are toll
ing on the side of rebellion and who,
in opposing Mr.. Lincoln's Administra-
ton, expect TO see that of Jefferson Davis
taking its place. The presidents proc.
lamation will give these sympathizers
with secession in Pennsylvania and else
where another chance to show their
hands. May il also teach The people
that the toleration of such treason is the
certain forerunner Of the overthrow of
the Republic

The following is the summing up Of
the report of the Harper's Ferry com
mission The court acquits Coils
D'Utassy and Trimble OF blame. Gen.
White is commended. Of COL Ford,
the commission finds that he was placed
in command by Col. Miles of Maryland
Heights, with orders to defend ii to the
last extremity Col. Ford, finding the
place unprepared by Notifications, earn
estly demanded means to fortify it. The
demands were not complied with when
the enemy appeared in heavy force.
Col. Ford frequently and earnestly called
for reinforcemenls, which were feebly or
not at all furnished. As late as the
18th, Col. Ford sent two written dis
patches, stating that unless he had rein.
fofcements he could not hold the Hights,
and without other instructions or relief,
he would have TO abandon them. A few
hours before the abandonment, Col
Miles was on the Hights and told Col.
Ford he could not have another man ;
he must do as we'll as he could, aud if
tho worst came, he must spike his siege
guns, throw them over the hills, and
withdraw in good order to Harper's
Ferry. The commission is then satisfied
that discretionary power to hold or
abandon the Hights was given to Col.
Ford, aud it believes from the evidence,
circumstantiantial and direct, that the
result did not surprise or in any way
displease the officer in command at
Harpers Ferry. But this result, so
much relied upon by tho defense, forces

eretiopary power thus vested in him.
make proper defense of the lights and
held them as he should have done, until
driven off by the enemy? The evidence
shows that the force was badly placed.
The point most pressed was badly de-
Tended After the wounding of tho
gallant Colonel of the l26th New York
it was left without competent officer in
command, Col Ford himself not appear
ing nor designating any one who might
have restored order or encouraged the
men. The abandonment was premature.
Our forces were not driven from the
Hights at the next day regiment re-
turning found them unoeoupisd and
unmolesled. with four abandoned guns
and large quantity ofammunition. In
SO grave case as this, says the commiss
ion, with such disgraceful consequences,
the commission oannet permit, an officer
TO shield himself behind tie fact that he
did as well as he could. il in so doing he
exhibits a lack of military capacity.
Colonel Ford should not have been plac

He conducted the defense without abili-
ty, and abandoned his position without
sufficient cause. he has proven himself

But while you give the wealth and
power of the nation to maintain the in
tegrity of its territory, and while you
stand by your constituted authorities
with invincible fidelity, and hold them
infexible in position, you must with
equal determination maintain those safe
guards which have been thrown around
your personal liberties. The strength
of the nation to rise superior to every as
saut lies in the maintenance ofindividu-
al liberty as it stood under the suprema
cy of the laws-in the freedom Of speech
and the freedom of the press. Every in
vasion of the laws is usurpation, dan
gerous in revolution, and not to be iusti-
fed by any plea of temporary expedien-
cy. Obsta principiis-stop the begin
nings, and stop them decisively, remem.
bering that if you fail in this duty, you
surrender the sword, and the people
fall.
God placed in the hands of an angel,
at the gates OF Eden, flaming sword,
turning on every side to guard the way
to the tree of Life. So has he placed in
your hands sword which you must al
ways keep bare and flaming, and turning
every way, to guard the approaches to
that liberty which is the tree of your ma
tional life.
And now, my dear and kind friends,
in parting from you and leaving our con-
nection to those pleasant associations, the
memory Of which we have rekindled to-
night, what can | say that will even re
motely express the deep impressions your
generous favor has made upon mo? I
shall hold you all in most cordial and az
fectionate remembrance, and | can only
say that gratitude and regard for you
will remain among the permanent emo
tons of my heart.
The laws OF Rome denied triumphs to
generals for victories obtained in civil
war-and rightly, too, for how can we
find in the bloodshed and msfortunes of
countrymen, occasions for rejoicing :?
But this-if it be not presumptuous in
me to say so-this is a triumph which
no feelings and no laws forbid, and
which every law would be powerless to
repress--a triumph in the affections Of
the people.
