BY WILKIE COLLINS,

The miner tells Us To keep strict silence
and listen. We obey him, sitting Speechless
and mntionless. If the reader could only have
beheld us now, dressed IN our copper colored
garments, huddlcd closely together in a mere
cleft OF Subterranean rock, with flame burning
on our heads, and darkness enveloping nur
limbs he must certainly have imagined
without any very violent stretch of the fam
cy, that he was looking down upon a con-
clavp ofgnOmes.
after listening for a few moments, dis
that, uncarthly noise becomes family audible
IA long, low, mysterious moaning, that never
changes, that is felt on the ear as well us heard
by it-a sound tina. might proceed fro:n some
incalcuabe distance; from some far invisible
heiglIt-a sound unlike anything that is heard
ON the upper ground, in the free air Of heaven
IA sound so sublimely mournful and still, SO
ghOstly and impressive when listened to in the
subterranean recesSes of the earth, that we
continue instinc lively to hold our peace, as if
enchanted by 1t, and think not of commune
eating to each other the strange awe and as
constituent which it has inspired in us both
from the very first.
SAT last the miner speaks again, and tells
us that what we hear is the sound Of the sBrf
lashng the rocks a hundred and twenty feet
above us, and of the waves that are breaking
on the beach beyond. The tide is now at the
how and the sea is in no very extraordinary
state of agitation; so the sound is low and
distant just at this period. But when storms
are at their height and when the ocean harris
mountain after mountain of water upon the
cliffs, then the noise is terrific; the roaring
heard down here in the mine is so ineXpressi-
bly, fierce and awful, that the boldest men
at work are afraid to continue at their la
bor-all ascend to the surface, to breathe
the upper air, and stand upon the firm
earth; dreading, though no such catastrophe
has ever happened yet, that the sea will break
in upon them if they remain in the caverns
below.
clearing this, we get up to look at the
rock above us. We are able to stand upright
in the position we now occupy; and farIng our
candles hither and thither in the darkness, can
see the bright, pure copper streaking the dark
ceiling of the gallery in every direction.
Jumps OF oozc, of the most lustrous green
color, traversed by a natural network of thin
red veins of iron, appear here and there in
large irregular patches, over which water is
dripping slowly and necessarily in certain
places. This is the salt water percolating
through invisible crannies in the rock. On
stormy days it spirits out furiously in thin,
continuous streams. Just now over our
heads we observe a wooden plug OF the thick
ness of a mans leg there is hole here, and
the plug is all that we have to keep out the
sea-
Immense wealth of metal is contained in
the roof of this gallery, throughout its whole
length; but it remains, and will always re-
main, untouched; the miners dare not take
it, for it is part, and great part, of the rock
which forms their only protection against the

Sketch of Fort Sumter.

Fort Sumter is Il work of modern construc-
ton, and is known as truncated pentagonal
fort. 1t is built upon an artificial island at
the mouth of Charleston harbor, three and
three eighths miles from the city of Charles
ton. The island has tor its base sand and
mud bank, with a superstructure formed of
the refuse of several northern stone quar-
The island itself cost half million dollars,
and was ten years in course of construction
The fertilization cost another half million, and
when major Anderson took possession of it it
was SO near completion that a portion of its
guns had been placed in position The walls
are of solid brick and concrete masonry, built
close to the waters edge. They are sixty feet
high and from eight to twelve feet in thick
ness, and are pierced for three tiers of guns
on the north, east and west exterior sides
The weakest point is on the south 81 lie, of
which the masonry is not only weaker than
the other sides, but is not protected by any
flank fire, which would sweep the landing
wharf Once landed, party could easily
effect an entrance.
The work was designed for an armament of
one hundred and forty guns of various cali
bres. Two tiers of the guns are in classmates,
while the upper one is open or en- barbette-
the lower tier for forty two FOUNDER Paixan
guns, second tier eight and ten inch columbi-
ads, and the barbette tier tor mortar and "a
Founders.
1t has been stated that in fort Sumter there
are one hundred and four guns ready for ac-
tlon, about ffty-two (one-half) of which are
Veh-lhch colum5ads, the remainder being
elght ana ten-inch Dahgrens and howitz-
e's: mere are four heavy mortars in the
tort, one being stationed at each corner.
There are about twelve rifled puns in the
works; but in consequence of the explosion
OF one OF these guns, by which an officer of
h'gh rank narrowly escaped losing his life,
1t had been determined moi to place anv more
reliance upon such pieces. They had there.
fore, given up the idea of riaing old guns. and
had thrown into disuse those already ri6ed,
The fort was in about the same condition rs
when taken by the rebels, and being much in
jnred by the engagement of April 10Th and
18th. The only alterations that had been

the following arguments. On the tops of
mountains of sufficient height, at an altitude
where clouds seldom reach to shelter them
from the direct rays of the sun, are always
found regions of ice and snow. Now, if the
solar rays themselves convey ali the heat on
this globe, it ought to be the hottest where
their course is least interrupted. Again aer-
onauts all confirm the GOODNESS of the upper
regions of the atmosphere. Since, therefore,
even on our earth, the heat of any situation
depends upon the aptness of the medium to
yield to the impression of solar rays, we have
only to admit that, on the sun itself, the elias
tic fluids composing its atmosphere, and the
matter on its surface, are o! such nature rs
not to be capable ofany effection from its own
rays. Indeed, this seems to be proved from
the copious emission of them, for il the chs
tic fluids of the atmosphere, or the matter on
the surface of the sun, were of such Il nature
as to admit of any easy chemical combination
with its rays, their emission would be much
impeded. Another well known fact is, that
the solo focus of the largest lens thrown into
the air will occasion no sensible heat in the
place where it has heen kept for considera-
bic time, although its power of exciting com
bustion, when proper bodies are exposed,
should he sufficient to fuse the most refracto.
ry substances.
Thus remarks the Scientific American,
from arguments based solely on the supposed
physical constitution OF that luminary, he de-
duces the somewhat astonishing idea that the
sun is inhabited.

The ColOred CIergyment to the Merchant.

The COlOred CIergymen to the Merchants
Eighteen colored clergymen, headed by the
Rev. Henry Highland Garnet, have addressed
to the Merchants Relief Committee of New
York touching letter of thanks for the aid
afforded to the destitute colored people whom
the mob despoiled They say =
"When in the pursuit of our peaceful and
humble occupations we had fallen among
thieves, who stripped us Of our raiment and
had wounded us, leaving many of us half
dead, you had compassion us. You bound
up our wounds and poured in the oil and wine
Of Christian Kindness, and took care of us.
You fastened to express your sympathy for
those whose fathers, husbands, sons, and
brothers had been tortured and murdered.
You also conltorted the aching hearts of our
widowed sisters, and soothed the sorrows of
orphan children. We were hungry and YOU
fed us; we were thirsty and you gave us
drink; we were made as strangers in our own
homes and you kindly took us in; we were
naked and you clothed us; we were sick and
you visited us; we were in prison and you
came unto us.
''Gentlemen, this generation of our people
will not, can not forget the dreadful scenes to
which we allude, nor will they forget the no.
bic and spontaneous exhibition Of charity
which they excited. The former will be re-
terred to as one of the darkest chapters of our
history in the Empire state, and the latter will
be remembered a bright and glorious page
IN the records of the past. In the light of
public opinion we feel ourselves to he among
the least in this our native land, and we there
fore earnestly pray that in the last great day
the King may say to you, and to all who have
betrlended us, Inasmuch as we have done it
unto one OF the least of these, my brethren,
| We have done it unto me; come, We blessed
OF my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
| for you from the foundation of the world
"But as great as have been the benefits that
we have. received from your friendly and un-
looked for charity, they yet form but the

WHAT AN ENGLISH Crowd DRINKs.-I
never, writes NJ. d. Conway to the Common
wealth, saw a crowd of such extent where
there was so little that one had to disapprove
OF. did not see a drunken person among
them all; though the quantity of beer which
an English crowd drink is enormous. Water
is an almost unknown drink in England,
among all classes. On this occasion, the
weather being warm, was quite thirsty, and
desired some water. Whercupon, | went up
to table, where a man and woman were
selling various things, and asked if | could
not get some water, expressing my willing
ness to pay for the same. The man looked
at me in Supplied way, as If | were new
species OF animal. Finally he recovered from
his amazcmcnt, to cry out to the woman at
the other end of the table:
dolly, here's man as wants a drink o
water"
IAN sure" she replied she won't find a
drop o water here"
Tins conversation was carried on in such
stentorian way that felt much as | suppose
the Cambridge student did, when the waiter
roared through the hall his offensive remark
about the fish-ball, and with many amazed
eyes gazing on me, made as graceful retreat
as ! could, and thereafter kept in my own
bosom the diretul secret of the thirst that
only water could aSsuage.

made were in the officers quarters, which, it
will be remembered, had been several times
fred during the fight of lSGl-and in the mag.
azines. With regard to the latter, some
large flat stones that had been sent from the
north to flag the fort had been broken up and
made into solid wall outside for the protec-
ton of the two magazines. With regard to
the former, the roofs had been lowered and
built fiat with covering of concrete, so that
if a shell should burst upon them it could not
fire them or do any other kind of material
harm. The appearance of tine fort from the
city shows perfectly level top, nothing ap.
pearing above the parapet at all. There are
about five hundred men in the fort, which
force was probably doubled when our opera
tons commenced.
