A Voice from the Masses---The Reply


North, East, South and West, the tocsin
has been sounded BY The political heralds,
and Greeley, Brown and Grant adherents
are marshAlliDg IN response to the call. So
far they are unable to speak with confidence
Of what will be the result as to the success
Of either party. But the "voioe of the
masses has been heard in connection with
grander campaign than mere partisan
strife can infuse into the people. The Gen
iuS Of Health has attacked the stronghold OF
Disease, and a bugie-b blast has been blown
to which the masses, the entire people, have
responded, and proclaimed a triumph for

There has been, perbal $ the most
remarkable and extraordinary DIS
c,ycry made in our country that
YOU or any ono else ever heard OF.
ten days since, I, NJ. Brasher'
ESQ, our late Representative from
this county, Major j. H. Webb, our
excellent sheriff, and J. T. Wilson,
our efficient taX-coIleetor, were to-
rother at Major Webs and for re-
creation, took a walk in and around
his farm, when coming to the hl'IN
on the south of Major Wehb'S place
they approached the mouth Of 4
cave in the 81 lie of the hill, from
which in wet weather a stream OF
water usually flowed. Feeling very
warm, they concluded to enter the
cave to cool of Il little, and upon
entering the mouth Of the cave
were surprised II the unusually
GOODNESS that prevailed the cavern.
Thinking there must be something
in the dark recesses OF the cavern
to produce such unusual eoidhesS N
the atmosphere, they concluded to
penetrate still iu%rther1nto the cave,
to see if they could not cleanup the
mystery. Procuring lights, they
entered the cave, and after proceed
ing some seYenty-tiye itot, upon
turning AN angie, they beheId 10
their astonishment, tho whole lnte-
rior Of the cave testooucd with the
most beautiful staIagmItes the eye
of mar ever behcId Holding ny
, their lights, they Gazed upon the
beautiful sight with pleased aston

pro9ch they found the staIamites to

chilled through with the coidurs.
OF the place, each one Of the gentle
! men broke of a lump OF this strans'
, wonder and started TO return.
Before reaching the mouth OF IN
) cavern their hands were SO rAiiIc'
j they could scarcely hold the strang
{ substance, and upon reaching tn
! outer air they laid it down on tn
ground, thinking it wonId soon az
