when linens wilted and all life seemed
painting for breath, your, correspondent,
while meditating a plan. of escape, for

Americas greatest wonders-the Nam

afterward, at Cave City, we got on board

road of mountain and stones,p through
beautifully variegated landscapes, and
at nine o clock Monday morning were re-
ceived by mine host Of the Mammoth
Cave Hotel Two days were spent in
visiting some Of the smaller caves, and
twice making the "short route" Of the
Mammoth Cave. On Wednesday morn
ing at nine o clock our party of thirty
two persons, accompanied by the hotel
string band, led by the efficient and
courteous guide, Mr.. Hughs, made the
" grand entrance" and with song and
joke passed rapidly through

into the Ballroom, where some of the
party engaged in short waltz. We then
passed the saltpetre watts, whichthe guide
informed us were built in 1872 by thir-
teen consumptives-who lived in there five
months. In this part of the main cave
there are many places of interest, among

The VIRGINIA AND TENNESSEE
.RATLRoAD--Hs Miserable Condition.
Broken Rails Must be Taken Jp.-T'was
but few days ago that we ventured tc
pass over a portion of the line of the Vir.
ginia and Tennessee railroad. The sub.
ject of discussion generally, among the pas
sengers, was the miserable condition of the
road and the great risk to human life i'm
posed, by travelling over it.
We, by our intimate acquaintance with
this road and its almost criminal neglect,
then predicted that but a short time would
elapse before an accident of the most seli-
Gus. nature would occur. Our pre-
dction has been partially verified, and as
will be seen by a special telegram pub
lished in our columns on Saturday, the
lives of two employees of the road have been
sacrificed.
In many places along its line, rails ex-
tending sometimes over only three ties, are
used--pieces of rails put in to supply the
place of broken ones and in many other
respects the road in majority of places is
but man-killing trap.
The special to the Dispatch of this morn
ing announces that the train which killed
Captain FOCUS and another employ6 ''came
in contact with broken rail &e.
1t has for long time been remarkable
that as few accidents have happened, when
the condition of the road is considered, and
unless an improvement is made the entire
length OF the road, we are not unprepared
to hear OF the complete destruction of an
entire train, together with the lives that
may be upon it.
1t is true, parts Of the road have been inn
proved and new rail substituted for the old,
but this is so small, compared with the
whole line, as to make it but insignificant.
From Liberty to Salem, the traveller re-
ceives many cruel jar and bump, and un-
less steps are Immediately taken to inn
prove the road thoroughly, the public
should be notified of the risk to their lives
whenever they venture upon it.

FROM FRANCE.

There Falls Out with the Orie ans Princes.
The Plans of the Latter Exposed.
Paris, Dec. 16.-On Thursday morning
another interview took place between Pres
ident Theirs and the Orleans Princes.
which lasted an hour, and was of an ,ln.
friendly character. President Theirs COM
planned especially that Due d'Aumale had
not strictly observed the terms of the pre-
vious agreement.
The Due d'Aumale declared. in reply.
that he would now take the advice of HI,
friends, not as to whether he should take
bis seat, but with reference only as to the
proper time of doing so.
The Orleans plan is for the Right to take
advantage of President Theirs impatience
and at the first opportunity force his resig-
nation, Due d'Aumale to be made Presi-
dent, and follow with a declaration pro-
claiming Chambord king of France, Count
de Paris heir to the throne, and Duo
d'Aumale Lieutenant General Of the King
dom.

FROM WASHINGTON.


The Washington Treaty Commission.
Washington, Dec 16.-The case of An
thony Barclay VS.. the United States was
before the commission under the Washing
ton treaty to-day. The claimant alleges
that while resident of Georgia, he did not
intend to change his allegiance from Great
Britain, and complied with the Queens
proclamation Of neutrality. He pleads the
Presidents proclamation confiscating pro-
perty passing from the insurrcctionary to
the loyal States, and alleges various acts OF
plunder by Sherman's forces, and the oc-
cupation Of two of his plantations by Sher-
mans order. He claims s275 900.
The United States demurs that the acts
alleged do not constitute valid claim un-
der the treaty that the United States are
not responsible, and that the claimant by
domicil is not entitled to claim as British
subject under the treaty.
The whole demurrer is disallowed, but
the United States government is at liberty.
if it sees fit, to take issue upon the facts al
legged in the memorial.

COMPLAINTS OF THE MANNER {

COMPLAINTS OF THE MANNER of
REPORTING THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE
LEGIsLATURE.-The Falley Tayinian,
published at Staunton, says "the reports
OF the Richmond press of the proceedings
OF the Legislature are very unsatisfactory"
We agree with the VTyiaias1 and in or
der to make them more interesting and satis-
factory, propose, as we did the first few
days OF the session, to explain the different
measures as they were reported, and to add
short criticisms upon the action of the body
and its members. Objections having been
made to this arrangements, we were estop-
ped from carrying out our original inten-
ton. 1t is claimed by those who object to
our proposed mode that it is not ''customa-
ry" to report proceedings of deliberative
bodies in any other than the usual manner,
and that it is more ''dignifedo to follow
the old style.
Our idea is, to please the majority of our
readers, and we feel sure they would be bet
ter satisfied with something besides what is
customary" We think the objections
old-fogyish, but, of course, situated as we
are, must obey the orders of our g COM
manding officer"
The same paper says the present is a
/" Ring legislature" and comprises "a
printing ring" san emigration ring" and
also "a railroad ring" and proposes, al
though at distance, to take whack at
some of the rings in short time. 1t heart
lily endorses the Whig in its position, and
says it is on the right track" We shake
hands, too, with the Wig, and promise it
that the people of the State will stand by
it in the noble and manly position it has
assumed.
