The 1i6dny Basins.

\ correspondent (E.) writes: Among
wonderful things of nature, are the Al.
bany Basins. They are situated in the
southwesterly part of Albany, in dense
forest, in the bed of rapid stream that
wiads its way beneath y mighty Cliff.

the solid granite rock, which seems 10
retard its progress. The Basins are
three in q row, and disposed in such
manner, that the water OF the upper
most falls into the second. and of the
second into the third. They are nearly
OF equal breadth, viz: about 60 feet;
their length varies, the longest being 80
feet Recently there has been discover.
cd cave among the rocks, the entrance
to which Is very obscure. The entrance
10 the cave, from the mouth, is ten feet;
and the cave, or hall that We first enter is
seven feet high, and twelve feet in length
with n small opening at the top which
serves as window. This hall enters
another hall large enough to contain
twenty or thirty persons. The tourists.
and lovers of the grand and beautiful are
well rewarded by visiting the Basins.
The scenery for beauty and sublimiLy Is
unrivaled. Nature has done all, man
nothing. While looking at these Basins,
every object assumes an aspect OF bril-
liancy and splendor; and at every turn
bursts OF wonder and admiration are
poured out by the beholder. The Basins
afford great and remarkable attractions
for the investigation OF the geologist,
mineralogist, botanist, and natural his
torian. Ruggedness is a striking feature
OF these Basins. from the vast piles of
rock which have fallen down from their
original position into the Basin, in every
age since the sun shone, or had stood un
moved, during unknown ages, detying
all The fury oi the ravages OF time.
Some of the rocks threaten TO tumble
down on the very first man who dares 10
approach their basis; while others in ap
pearance, seem resolved to remain IN
