narrow, circutous, and dangerous path. The
entrance to the main cave is about twelve
feet high, by thirty long and twenty WIDE.
You rass through the valley of Humility IN
a very humble manner, i! being fifteen feet
wide, aud from twenty four to thirty-siX inch
es in height. Emerging from this which is a
great rehetto all, you enter Halls Rotun-
da, named for our very popular and etlicient
quartermaster in charge OF this depot. ne
Rotunda is the largest ptrt OF the cave, being
sixty feet long, Thirty wide, and, to the top OF
Mary 5 Dome, which forms the ceiling, near
forty feet This dome is well worth IL visit to
the cave to see.
From the Rotundo pass to the left and enter
''Bel's Avenue" named tor flvorite Capt G.
S., who would think it hardly appropriate ac-
cording 60 its dimensions, the ceiling beng
only from eighteen to thirty inches high. Fol-
lowing the avenue about fifty yards you come
| to "Parker's Gallery" named for Geo. OF
your city, captain and assistant acting quar-
| termastcr mt this pOst-the right man IN the
| right place, as all will gay that know him.
| From this gallery comes the finest specimens
yet found in the cave, the stalagmites uniting
the floor with the ceiling, putting one in mind
| of the pillars left in the salt mines to support
the mass of earth above. From this you pass
through Thompson's Passage to Frazier's
| broadway, thence about lou yards To "Clay S
Arcade, this being noted only as the terminus
of to- days trip, and an excellent place to rest
before attempting the very arduous duty of
returning. From this point it is the intention
of the party to explore still further ON at some
future day Returning loaded with specl-
| spemens to Halls Rotunda, we leave them
and pursue the main cave through Shields
Labyrinth, tortuous, dangerous, crooked
passage to ''Linen's" Arbor. Here is an ex
act fac smile Of ''Cleopatras Needle in tie
Mammoth Cave" Climbing a rude ladder,
we worked along through 'Martha's Vine
yard" which also very much resembles the
place of the same name in the Mammoth
Cave, and for which this is named, the ceiling
being ung with the hardest kind Of grapes
and arrive at Gleasons Retreat. This is quite
spacious, and has massive pillars which were
formed by dripping water.
This proved the end OF the trip to the main
cave. Having walked aud crawled nearly
two miles, we were willing to retrace our
steps, and leave 1t for some other day to ex.
plore deeper the hidden mysteries of Boone's
Cave. II. q. NJ.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l6.-Last night about
eight O'Clock, according to the reports Of pas
Sengers from the army, information came to
Gen. Meade's headquarters that corps OF the
rebel army, supposed to be A. p. Hills corps,
had moved from our front i'll the direction of
Leesburg. The Star says Il heavy reconnois-
sance was Immediately started in the direc-
ton of Aide, the accommodating party NOV
ing light, without knapsacks and the enemy
will make little by their motion should they
be undertaking any surprise game i'll that di-
rection. There was more or less skirmishing
between the picketS on either side, and sever
al casualties are reported.
Yesterday there was diminishing all along
the lines of our army, and some fighting also
on the old Bull Run Battle field; but there
was no general engagement. Our army last
night was in line of battle. The whole bag
gage and transportation train was sent to the
rear, and the suffers were ordered to Alexan-
dra The skirmshing yesterday was princi-
pally for position, and the report is that in
every instance Gen. Meade has succeeded in
getting the advantage Three hundred and
ninety two prisoners of war, captured on last
Wednesday near Brstow station, reached this
city last night and were committed to the old
capitol
WASHINGTON Oct. i6.-From information
received from the army of the Potomac, to-
night, it appears that u body of the enemy was
seen passing southwark, opposite Blackburn's
ford, last night, and our batteries shelled
them. They replied for half an hour and then
disappeared. They made no other demonstra-
ton yesterday.
1t was rumored that one corps of the rebel
army was approaching Fairfax yesterday, by
the Chantily road, and our heavy batteries
were sent out in that direction. They have
returned and report all quiet. Our army is
in perfectly safe position and prepared to
repel any attack.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. - Commissioner
Dole, during his last visit to Kansas, thor
oughly investigated the difficulties connected
with the kickapOo tribe. The evidence is
now under consideration by the secretary of
the interior. The commissioners made four
or five treaties with the Indians for their re-
moyal from Kansas, but they cannot be car
red into effect without the action of congress.
He says that everywhere the Indians arc peace
able, except the Sioux on the upper Missouri
and Il few predatory bands of New Mexico.
Two young men who were arrested on Sun.
day last for dealing in counterfeit confederate
scrip, were released to-day, it having been as
certained that they sold the scrip within the
rebel lines, and moi within our own, and that
it was not considered crime sufficient to
warrant their longer lncarcer alton.
Gen. Spinola, through still suffering from
his wound, reported for duty, on Wednesday,
desiring to rcoin the Sd corps, but the militia
ry authorities here declined to send him to
the front, believing that he is not physically fit
for active service He will however be order
ed to New York, with authority to recruit an
infantry corps.
1t will he recollected that in April last the
president made a contract with certain respon-
sbe parties for the deportation OF five hum
bred persons of color to an island on the south
west coast of lIayti, and for their colonization
on satisfactory conditions. But, recently, in
formation has been received here that these
coloniSts were badly provided for, and many
of them died Of diseases, while Others fled to
more desirable localities The government, it
is known, was cautious and studiUus in MAX
ing such arrangements as would conduce to
their benefit. In pursuance OF theapolicy
which entered into the contract, an agent Will
Immediately be dispatched to inquire into all
the facts and report upon the present condi-
ton of affairs, in order that the president may
direct such remedial action as shall be neces-
sary.
The provost marshal general has authorized
the statement that the coored troops raised in
Maryland prior to the draft in that state
will be duly credited upon the present draft.
One of the most efficient detectives in the
service says he is pretty well satisfied that
there are not less than two or three hun
dred guerrias this side Of the Rappahan-
mock, and south of General Meade's army.
They are daily and nightly arresting Union
men and committing depredations ON their
property.
Hon. John NJ. Bolts was arrested by the
rebels at his house on Monday last, during Il
cavalry fight near Brandy Station, and has
since been taken to Richmond, where he will
doubtless be imprisoned and held for the re-
turn Of Shackleturd Bradford, Freeman, and
other secpssionists of CuIpppper covnty, now
in the old capitol. Mr.. Bolts was paroled
prisoner to the contedcracy.
The notes for the two years fifty million
loan of Sept. s, 1868, will be completed by
the treasury department aa soon as the banks
which advanced the money have decided as
to their denominations, details, &c. The de-

MEMPHIS, Oct. l3.-Many of the rebels
who were in the fight at Colliersville, on
Sunday, had passes through the lines, which
they had obtained, it is alleged for local pur-
poses, and had taken the oath of allegiance to
the United States. This will serve to stop
what little intercourse and trade have been
permitted to the inhabitants.
New YORK, Oct. l6.-The steam transport
Union has arrived from the blockading squa-
drons. On the llth the Union captured the
English neutral blockade-running steamer
Spaulding, with a valuable cargo from Mas
sau. The Spaulding had crew OF twenty
five men and four rebel colonies. All are pris
oners. She was captured last April under the
name of St, Johns, by the gunboat Stettin,
and sent to Boston, where she was sold to Sc
cesh parties belonging to New Brunswick
whence she went and loaded at St. John for
Nassau, thence run the blockade on the Sth
ult., into Charleston, and again escaped from
Charleston with a large cargo of cotton, Sept.
10th. She was engaged few days in Charles
ton harbor, carrying troops, ammunition, &C.,
to Sumter.

The Battle of Bristow station.

The battle near Bristow Station, last We'd
nesday, between portion of the second corps
OF Gen. Meade's army and a portion of A. p.
Hills corps Of rebels, was really heavy en-
gagement. The rebels were over 70 600
strong, but they were badly beaten. letter
in the New York Herald gives an account of
the battle, from which we make a few ex-
tracts. The first onslaught of the rebels was
swiftly repulsed by the divisions of Generals
Webb and Hayes, aided by the artillery. 1t
was in this part of the conflict that the rebel
battery was captured. The tremendous fire
of our troops drove the rebels into the woods.
Ten men from each regiment were then de-
tailed to bring off the guns lett by the rebels.
The Herald's letter says:
'The selected men went off in the direc-
ton OF the prizes, reached them, seized them,
turned them towards the foe, firing parting
salute from such as the enemy, in his haste,
mad lett loaded, then commenced dragging
them away by hand. They had not gone far
however, when the rebels hocked ont of the
WOODS ana came down at a charge towards
them, seeing which, the bows dronned tho
artillery, grasped their smaller arms an5
drove the butternuts back to the pines. They
then came back and dragged off their captures
in safety. | have heard some cheering ON
election nights, but | never heard such veil
of exultation as rent the air when the rebels
guns, caissons and equipments were brought
across the railroad track to the line of our in.

There were six of the guns, but, one o
them was too much injured to be removed

FRIEND DEMONSTRATING that brief

al of the party have named the principal points
of interest in the cave in honor of our most
worthy and highly esteemed officers at this
post. A majority, being of Worcester county
extraction, thought the Spy should have the
doings in relation to the visit. The cave is
entered from the bluff on Hickmans creek,
about the center of the southern boundary of
camp Nelson. The entrance is about one
hundred and fifty feet above the bed of the
creek, and one hundred feet from the top of
the bluff. You reach it from the top by
