Fourteen Miles Under Ground.

LtchAeld Letter in the Chicago Jnter-ocean.
There was discovered recently on
the farm Of Evan Rogers, about one
mile from the Postoffice Of this place.
q cave that bids fair to rival, if not
surpass, the world-renowned Man,
moth Cave Of Kentucky. Back Of Mr..
Rogers house stands a high bill, in
which there are several small caves,
one Of them being used BY the family
as a cellar. Mr.. Rogers. desiring adj
ditional room, conceived the idea Of
blasting out some Of the rock in the
rear. In doing so he struck vast
opening, and was greatly astonished
to find before him 40 immense cave.
with avenues at least 100 feet wide.
Saddling his horse be ,ushed into town
and communicated the news Of his
great discovery to the astonished cit.
liens. Torches were at once prepared
and he started back to explore the
mysteries of the wonderful cavern, &C
companied by well known business
men and county officers.
Entering the cave they were at once
greatly impressed with its grandeur
For three long hours they explored it,
spacious avenues amidst it's wonderful
formations without meeting barrier
to their progress until they came to q
wide deep liver, which they found con.
tanned vast shoals of eyeless fish and
other slghtless wonders of the marine
world. They retraced their steps, de.
termIned upon complete exploration
Of the cave the..following day. So tt.e
next day much larger party entered
the cave, accompanied by Surveyor
John b. Stone, who took an accurat,
measurement of the distance they ira
versed. They came to what seemed
to be the end of the main avenue atte
travelling distance Of fourteen miles
and 1t was near midnight before the,
reached their homes. There are evi
dences on all sides that the cave wa.
the abode of a prehistoric race, ant
that that race was identified with til,
ancient Egyptian races, as can nov
be proved by the light which can bt
given US in this very important dis
covery.

A PASSION FOR DRAW POKER.
Capt. John Hartley's Resignation from
the Army,an It's Cause.

A Washington dispatch gives the following
additional particulars regarding the disappear
ance OF Capt. John Hartley from Washington,
and his subsequent resignation from the army.
He was born in Maine, but was in Minnesota
regiment during the war, and was commission
ed from that State. He is supposed to be in
Canada or at his old home in this State The
officers at the department are anxious to know
where he is and why he resigned. His actions
for the past few months have been singular
About four months ago he was detailed to the
ONCE OF the rebellion records, in charge of Col
Scott, and when that officer left on his sum-
mer vacation Hartley was placed over the Of
flee. Capt Hartley is very fond of the nation
al game of poker, and indulges his love for it
to an inordinate degree. Finding himself
chief of bureau, Capt. Hartley, to be in the
fashion, followed his regular chief and all the
other chiefs away from Washington on a sum-
mer trip, and made such a prolonged stay that
Col. Scott returned ahead OF him. AThe chief,
not at all pleased to find that his subordinate
had followed his example, asked that he might
be relieved from duty at the office and sent
back to his regiment. In the meantime, one
OF Cspt Hartley's friends in Washington in
formed him of the colonel's return, whereupon
the truant, instead of coming back and facing
the music, put off in haste for Canada The
next news from the fugitive came in the shape
OF resignation, duly made out and forwarded
to the department.. The officers had, of course,
been offended by Hartley's conduct, but did
not wish to lose him from the service; so both
Col. Scott and Gen. Ruggles telegraphed him
TO withdraw his resignation and ali would be
we'll. Hartley replied that if they were
friends and wished to favor him, they would
urge the Secretary of War to accept the resig-
nation, upon which Secretary Lincoln took
him at his word. Since this correspondence
Hartley's friends have heard nothing from
him, and he is supposed to be too busy playing
poker to write. While on duty here Hartley
was known TO play poker all night and until
noon the next day without a break, and then
go to the office decidedly the worse for wear.
OF late his passion for cards was supplemented
by a taste for drink, and between the two his
official duties suffered. 1t is supposed at the
department that he left the city in order to in
dulge his favorite pastimes in PHILADELPHIA
and other northern cities, and one story is that
he made such pot that an army officers sala-
ry is no longer an object. Whatever NAV be
the real cause of his resignation, his act is a
mystery to his brother officers

stration and the convention settled down for
another ballot
The second ballot was taken amid breathless
silence While the vote was being counted

Impossible to maintain order and refused to

for another roll call were made and the con-

their desire to change from Wadsworth to
Folger and other changes were shonted which
it was impossible to hear. A roll call of West
chester county was had and it resulted for
Cornell and for Folger.
Al this point Mr.. Cookingham of Oneida
withdrew athe name of Wadsworth. The
chair again announced that delegates must
take their seats or business be suspended
Several changes were then annouced from
Cornell to Folger and delegate said it was
eyldent tnat Judge rolger mad the nomination
and moved that his nomination be made by
acclamation.
The chairman said the motion was out of or.
der unless no objection be made. The secre-
tary asked that the result of the last roll call
be first announced and IN this objection to the
resolution it was declared out of order
Mr. Sharpe rose to point of order and
asked that the nomination about to be made
be made decently and in order and that dele
