WONDERFUL NATURAL PHENOMENON.
from the Nashville Unionl

Most of our readers know the location
of three bald-headed hills-rendered SO
by ravages Of the late varying between
the Charlotte pike and the river, in light
of and few miles from the capitol The
outer lines of the Federal works may stiI
be seen along their sides and crests, but
there are no houses, trees, or fences, to
further break the dull monotony of their
outlines. Let any one who is DESTROYS
of witnessing most startling natural
phenomenon, which throws the mirage Of
the plains, and the mist-vIssions OF the
Scottish entirely coast in the shade, as
cend the central mound in direct line from
the city, on any clear day, about an hour by
the sun. When half way up the declivi
ty he will see other hills, palpable even to
grass clumps and little stones, gradually
rising in the air, beyond the ones he is
ascending. IF he pauses, these huge
phantoms remain stationary; If he advanc-
es they continue to rise before him, until
within few yards Of the intrenchments,
when they suddenly vanish into nothing
ness, like scenes in dissolying view.
How long this strange freak OF mist and
sunlight has held court near us, it islmpos
sible to say, for except some superstitious
whisperings Of negroes, nothing has been
definitely known until within the past
week The scientific wherefores of the fore
going we will not pretend to give at pres
ent, but trust that some Of ocT professors
and Swans will, in few days lay before
us a thorough explanation of this new
wonder
