ANOTHER CAVE.

Piano Blanco is the name of cave
situated about the center of Duvall
county, Texas. 1t has been explored
some seventyfive yards Large cham
beers, with gushing streams of cool, fresh
water, SO cold as to dispense with the
luxury of ice, have been found. A nat
ural we'll, some twenty-five feet in depth,
two hundred yards frem the entrance Of
the cave, exists, from the direction of
which current of air rushes with great
force, as from a furnace stack. The
walls of the cave are composed of sui
phate of lime, and untold quantities of
plaster Of Paris could be made out of it

Mr.. Seward is too modest. At Rich
mond, he said he never favored war
until forced into it; he never desired
peace without the full restoration Of the
Union. If Washington could be called
from his grave, and the questions now
in issue be referred to him, be would say
no conGscation; no delay in the restora-
ton of the entire country. he did not
aspire to be greater than Washington"
A man who does not aspire TO be greater
than Washington, has no business in the
Radical party. We have dozens of Rad
icals in this city who are far beyond
Washington. They aspire to be as great
as Brownlow himself Washington

THE FINANCES.

1t is now estimated that the receipts
from internal revenue for the year ending
the 3Oth instant will reach 1915, 900, 600.
For the year ending June 30, 1866, they
were but a triHe short of S3ll 100000.
Assuming that the estimates now made
will prove correct, there will have been a
falling off from last year Of SIG, 1000.
Considering the reductions in taxes on
manufactures made last winter, and the
dull condition of trade, the diminution
ia so small as to be a surprise. Should
the receipt from custom duties be as
large as they were the last fiscal year

miscellaneou, sources reach to $50, TO-

MORE POWER.

A brother editor remarks that the Sec
rotary of War has assumed the authority
of appointing professors Of military
science in the various colleges of the
corntry, and the people are Gnits taken
with the proposition. They never stop
to think that this is an extraordinary
usurpation of power, and that for what
ever benefit might be derived from the
teaching of these professors, the people
lose an immense proportion of their
rights and liberties. For our own part,
we do not perceive any great use or ne
cessity of cultivating any more military

The way to maintain a man in a

you'll catch the black man." Laugh

All right, Mr.. Beecher; bait him

it be a Northern white woman. This is
the policy of Henry and his Internal
clique. They know that the South has
lost number of her gallant sons, and
that the Yankees will come South to
marry-if they can; and their Northern
shemales will be glad to get anybody
that will have them. They may bait
the siggers with their women. We don't
