A CAVE IN NEVADA CoUNTY.-Some
time since, it will be remembered,
says the Grass Valley Union, that
we published q statement of large
body of water, having been struck in
the Pike tunnel, on Union Hill. After
the water had sufficiently escaped to
permit of working, the men employed
in the mine discovered q large cave,
natural in its formation and running
back a considerable distance in the
tunnel. In fact, so extensive is this
cave that no one has yet been enabled
to trace its termination. 1t is quite a
curiosity, and is daily visited by large
numbers of novelty.seekers.

Post puts in circulation story about
recent gold discovery which has only
to be read to be properly appreciated.
The following is copied from that
journal:
Upon the arrival of the Helena stage,
the people of Virginia City were
thrown into gold excitement. before
which all former excitements must
pale. The facts as we get them from
apparently well.authenticated sources
are briefly as follows:
Mr.. Brown, German, or Norwe-
gian, and one of the original discover
ers Of the celebrated Gould & Curry
lode, of Nevada, and afterwards of the
Brown lode in Nelson's Gulch, in this
Territory, was engaged in sinking
shaft on the Uncle Sam" lode, about
the head of Dry Gulch, some four miles
from Helena He had sunk near
twenty feet, when, the indications not
suiting him, he concluded to change
his course by drifting up hill from the
bottom of his shaft. He had advanced
in this direction about ten feet, when
he reached gold deposit which, in
richness and extont, has, perhaps no
parallel in the history of gold mining.
Gold, in almost solid masses, glittered
before his bewildered vision. For two
weeks longer, unknown to others, he
tunnelled in the golden wall. Secret.
ed about him, he had accumulated
severals gunny-sacks, literally filled
with the precious metal, when longer
secresy became impracticable, from
the very extent of his unexpected
wealth, and Mr. Brown proceeded to
record and secure his property, when
the public were informed of the great
discovery. 1t is said that he now
keeps strong guard night and day,
over his seeming incompatible wealth,
while he himself, unassisted, ,delves into
the golden walls around him, and con-
tinues multiplying his sacks of pre-.
cious ore.
One person who was admitted into
Mr. Browns drift, states that it pre-
sented scene of wealth more akin to
a picture of the Imagination than ac-
tuality. Gold! gold! gold met the
view on every side-above, below and
all around and reflected back its
rich hues in tho glare of the candle, as
if this subterranean vault had been
hewn out of solid ledge of the yel.
low metal.
The gold is found in we'll defined
ledge five feet in width. The gold
vein is three feet wide-three-fourth
of the entire substance therein being
pure gold; the remainder being bis
muth. On each side of this vein
there is casing of one foot of quartz
which will assay from $500 to $1,000
to the ton. The very wall-rock i
rich. Specimens can be seen at tn
City Book Store.
Whether this is, to use familia
mining terms, "blowout" or
"pocket," we are not prepared to ad.
NIT or deny. But be it either, million
are "lyigg around loose" We ca
scarcely realize that this is distinct
continuous ledge, as, in that case, y
vast an amount of gold would effec
the standard of gold valuation throug
out the commercial world. But ou
informant, whom wo know to be
man of reliability, assures us that
distinct ledge has been traced full
seventy-five feet. Further and NOR
positive information will bo given
our next.

The Ladies' of FrankliM---Thei
HIerOism on the Baatlc-Eieid.

During the terrible battle at Franklin,
Tennessee, ON Thursday evening, the ladies'
of Franklin, exhibited courage and noble
ness of heart worthy ofthe danes of Sparta
The shells were bursting all around the town
and shricking through the streets; the air
was freightcd with sulphurous odors and
over all the clouds of smoke hung like a
heavy pail the rifle balls were whistng-
falling more fast than the hail Of summer
storm, yet the ladies shrank not in fear, nor
added II wall to the roar Of the terrible
storm; but they sailed forth from their
houses, regardless Of danger, and became
kind, ministering angels to the wounded and
the dying. In the hour of suffering and
death all were brothers, and no distinction
was made between the Federal and Con
stained with blood, suffering deeply, and
struggling in the agonies of death all were
men, all were bound to earth by the common
ties Of humanity and the dying were hast
cning "to that bourne from whence no tray
clcrretuins. lnthc hourwhen the thoughts
We're turned to heaven, all were brothers,
erring children Of one Great Father. The
ladies nobly braved the storm, bowed in
kindness over the wounded. bleeding forms,
dressed their shattered limbs, bathcd their
lips, and soothcd them with words of gentle
ness and love.
Theirs was II holly mission, and the sol
diers will ever bear them in kind rcmcm-
brancc. The hour made them strong and
to the wounded sufferers they became minis
tering angels, indeed. Here the head of
the Federal soldier was raised as he felt
the soft touch of Il woman's hand upon his
brow, the lips moved, while the eyes grew
glassey, and he family mIrmured words of
loyc-names dear in his far off Northern
home. There lay the Confederate soldier,
his warm blood dying the plain, and as the
form of woman bent over him, and bathed
his lips and temples, to his fading cyesight
the face was that Of an angel, and, as the
pulse beat more feebly the mind wandered
to the brightness of his sunny home, and
with the names mother, sister" fondly
whispered, the head dropped liteless, and
the limbs grew cold in death.
1t was a strange wild scene for the form
of woman-the air heavy with the thunders
otbattle, the crash of arms, and fierce shouts
of men, and blood and carnage reignng on
every side, twas no time for timid hearts,
and the ladies of Franklin ncrycd themselves
to meet the cxigcncicS of the hour. Honor
to them; their names will ever he green in
the memory of the soldier, and for the work
ofmorcy and goodness the angels in heaven
will make them their sisters when they are
done with time and earth. -LouiSriUe Jour

One of the Pictures.

A correspondent of the Chicago Journal
relates the following interview of Federal
foraging party with Tennessee farmer:
At another place we called upon the owner,
a man of over sixty years, well saved, yet
evidently much cast down and disheartened.
He was polite, and answered all questions
tediously. On being asked what he had to
spare, he exclaimed Not much-indeed
nothing" His wife and four children
standing by him, said not word but the
countenance of the whole group showed that
the old man told the truth. Indeed have
nothing" said he, what, with one army or
another, campaigning through this part of
Tennessee, they have stripped me of all
could spare, and more too. " Have you no
horses or mulos?" asked the officer. Eyes"
answered the man, 81 have one more mule
which is entirely broken down; it was left
me by trooper, who took my last horse in
its stead" " ''No beef cattle ?'' was the next
question. 'Not one, was the answer
ANY hogs?" eyes. sir, have four pigs
which / had intended for the winter supply
Of meat. ,, ANY negroes?' asked the of
ficer. mo, not one; my servants all left
me some two or three months ago. | have
not one on the place. have to chop all
my wood and do all the outdoor work, and
my WIG anu uaugnterS 10 tne ln-doOrS, what
they can. Any corn or wheat?' "No
wheat, and only two or three bushels of
corn, was the reply. Lets see the mule?"
said the officer. 1t was brought up, and
was as the old man had said. SHOW me
those pigs, was the next demand. When
he heard this the old man could hardly
speak-his hopes were almost at an end. -
He showed the pigs, however, they were no
more than such family would need, nor as
much, in fact The officer then kindly said !:
"You may keep all these things, they will
help you out, and can be of but little good
to us, and gave the old man safe guard, y
which mi ght save his property from allfuture
molestation from our troops. Three years
ago, this man owned large, well stocked
plantation, and fine stud Of horses-had
cattle and hogs in plenty, with servants to
come at his call, and corn to sell and to keep.
Now he was sincerely thankful and much
moved, that we spared him his four little
shoats, his pttance of corn and his old mare
mule, with which he hoped to make small
crop next spring The war has been at his
very door, he has seen it in all its relations,
and knew that it was vigorously prosecuted.

A Novel Marriage i'm EennsyI.
vania.

The Lancaster pa. Erpress says that a
large crowd Of persons assembled in the Re
formed Mennonite Church, in that city on
Sunday morning, to witness a marriage be-
tween two members of the new Mennonite
persuasion. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. John Kohr, assisted by Rev Chris
tian Wilmer TO those Of the audience who
were never present at a wedding ofmembers
of this denomination the affair wasnovcl and
interesting. The sermon was appropriate to
the occasion. The preacher read from the
3rd to the 10th verses Of the 10Th chapter of
Matthew, and from the 22nd verse to the
end of the 5th chapter of Ephesians, basing
his remarks on these passages of Scripture.
The whole discourse was devoted to the
duties of the candidates for matrimony to
each other, and their spiritual relations to
"Christ, the head of the Church
At the conclusion Of the regular exercises,
the marriage rite was performed in front of
the pulpit The bridegroom was asked
whether he believed this sister of his faith
was allotted by Christ to be his wife, and
whether he was free from all other women
persons. Affirmative answers being given,
similar questions were then put and an
swercd, when the twain were pronounced
man and wife. The manner of bringing
about marriages between the members OF
this denomination differs from that of other
Christians. What is called "courting is
done by their preachers, the candidates for
matrimonial honors not being allowed to
visit the object of their affections. When a
brother wishes to take to himself one of the
sisters as wife, the fact is communicated
to the preacher. who makes known to the
sister the feelings Of this brother, and if no
