A Remarkable Cavern.

Last month, as two quarrymen were
working in the Kitcraft quarry, on the
Portland Heights, England, they had ac-
oasion to remove some stone from the
"base-bed, and at 56 feet below the sur
face they came upon assure in the rock.
On exploring it about 100 yards they
found an opening on each side of 80 yards
Proceeding 400 yards further, there was
an opening to the upper surface, through
which the light is admitted. The cavern
then extends at least 100 yards further.
and is altogether COS yards in length.
From the roof depend beautiful stalac-
tites, many of them two feet and three
feet long, and of different tints, some
amber, and others cream color. Some
curious petri6catons have also been found
of fantastic shapes The quarrymen are
foolishly breaking off the stalacfites, and
seelling them for trife.

HABEAs CoRPUs-On Wednesday
merning, Frank NJ. Ewing, formerly of
Kinds Co.. who killed VIM. Malone,
near Holly Springs, on the 9th day oflast
October, was brought before Judge Vance,
ON writ of habeds corpus. Mr.. d. has been
in bad health for some time, consequent
upon his close confinement. Upon the
testimony of the attending physician and
jailor, that longer confinement would en-
danger his life, and probably cause his
death before the next term of the Court,
his Honor admitted him to bail in bond
of $1,000 for himself and $4,000 for his Sc
curities. Ewing has not yet given bail,
and is still in jail. At the trial, he was
very ably represented by Messrs. Feathers

The most primitive post -office in the
world is to be found on the southern ex-

small barrel has been fastened by an iron
chain to the outermost rock of the noun

opposite Terra del Fuego. 1t is opened by
every ship that passes through the Straits
either to place letters IN it or to take letters
from it. This post-office, therefore, takes

Hoar-kept him off the Supreme Court,
and driven him out of the Cabinet-but
they little know the temper of the men

strength of the cause on which the latter
rest their case. Instead of Judge Hoar's
going out of the Cabinet, it is quite likely
that his enemies and the enemies of Gen

portunity to restate their reflections to his
Supreme Court appointment, and to vote
squarely on the question of confirmation.
They will certainly find their that voting
him down for judge does not vote him out

Resolved, That though bowling in hum
BILE submission to the behest from on high
we deeply deplore the loss of the departed,
and that we will ever cherish his memory

the uncertainty of life, and that we again
pledge ourselves to shape our conduct so
that when the trials of our probationary
state are over, we be admitted into that
Lodge on high, where the Grand Arch

'partake of the joys, in which we fondly
hope our departed Brother now partici-

NHUMAN TREATMENT OF THE BODY AFTER
THE MURDER,
From the Carrollton Conservativ

From the Carrollton Conservative.
DIR. Gibson, of Sunfower' county, was
killed at his residence on Monday morn
ing last, by a squad of United States
soldiers, under the orders of the deputy
Sheriff of that county. The circumstan-
ces, as near as we can ascertain are as fol-
lows:
On Monday morning while he and his
family were at the breakfast table, the
house was surrounded by soldiers, and
without any warning, he was fred upon
through the window, the ball passing very
near him. DIR. Gibson sprang from the
table and rushed to his room, procured
his pistols and began firing at the soldiers
in front of the house, wounding two of
them, it is said The fire was returned,
and one shot took effect just above his
left ear, from the effect of which he died
in half hour. When he fell, and be-
fore he was dead, the soldiers took him
by the feet and dragged him out of the
house. The squad, after cursing and abu-
sing the family, rode off, leaving DIR.
Gibson lying in the yard where they had
dragged him.
1t will be remembered, that some weeks
ago, the military undertook to arrest him,
it is supposed, for being implicated in the
Sunfower riot. In this they were unsuc-
cessful, as he could not be found. Be
sides no one or two men could have taken
him by force, as he was man of great
bravery and GOODNESS Some ten days
since the friends of DR.. Gibson called on
the Sheriff of that county, and received
from him assurances that he (Gibson)
would not be molested if he would go
home. Which he did.
DR.. Gibson was in the town of McNutt,
where this sheriff and soldiers are quar-
tered, and remained there over night,
only two days before he was killed, du
ring which time no effort was made TO ar
rest him.
