in which its nettle oecur.s, signif& a

early history we learn that its iuhabi
; tants lived in natural elects or excava
! thins made in tke solid rock. Desolate
as it is, we have reason to believe that
it goes back to the time of Esau, the'
"baiter rlf Edom ;" that princes and
dukes, eight successive king and again

laden with all the precious commodities
of the East, and from which these
commodities were distributeel through
1. -, vpt Palestine, and Syria; and all
the countries bordering oti the Mediter
ranean, even Tvre and Sidon, deriving .
their purple unad3 - es from Petra. Eight
hundred years before Christ, Amain'',
'the King of Judea, "Slew of Edon, in
the valley of Salt, ten thousand, and
took Selab Oho Hebrew - name of Petra)
by war." Three 'mink's'', years after
the last of .the prophets ! , and nearly a
century before- the Christian era, the
; o King ofArabia" issued from his palace
at Petra, at the head of fifty thonstiod
men, - horse and foot; entered Jerusalem,
and, uniting with i the Jewa, pressed
the :- i-ge of the temple, which was only
raised . by the advaiwe of the Romans;
mud in the beginning of the second cen
tury, though its , independence was
lost, Petra wig , . (gin the capital of a Ro

GETTYSBURG, PEIiTINA.: °MONDAY, MAY , 25, 1857.
While I irglA k }Radiating another of
my Meet came running up the ravine,
and shortly after him Paul and the
ahiek,breatllesS with haste, and crying
oat low gutturals, ' El Arab! El Arab!"
The Arabs ! the Arabs! the Arabs!—
This was enough for me. I had heard
sorrw,' of El Arab that I had become
nervons. It was like the cry of Deli
lah in the ears of the sleeping' Samson :
"The Philistines aro upon thee." At
the other end of the ravine was ,An on
eampenent of the RI Atoning; and the
ahiek, having due regard to my eem
mtinleation about money matters, had
shttnned this entrance to avoid bringing
me the horde of tribute gatherers for a
participation in tho spoils. Without
auy deviation to explore further, I
tamed towards the city; and it was now
that I began to teal the powerful and
indelible impression that must be pro
dueed on entering through this numn
ta• ous passage, the excavated city of
P ra.
or about two miles it lies between
gh and precipitous ranges of rocks,
min five hundred to a thousand feet in
height, standing as if torn asunder by
some great convulsion, and barely wid e
enough for two horsemen to pass
abreast. A swelling stream rushes be
tween them; the summits arc wild and
broken; in some places overhang ing the
opposite sides, casting the dark ness of
night upon the narrow defile, then re
ceding and forming an opening above,
through which a strong ray of light is
thrown down, and illuminates with 4!Th
blaze of day the frightful thaw below.
Wild fig-trees, oleanders, ai;o1 ivy
were growing out of the rocky sides of
cliffs hundreds of feet above our heed's;
the eagle was screinning above ns ; all
along were the doors open of tombs,
forming the great Necropolis of tip
city; and at the extreme end WaS a
large open space, with a powerful body
of light thrown down upon it, and ox- ,
hibithig, in ono full view, the facade of
a heautifal temple hewn out of the rock,
with rows of Corinthian columns and
ornaments standing out fresh and clear,
as if hut yesterday from the hands of
the sculptor. Though coming directly
from the banks of the Nile, who the
preservation of the temples exeit the
admiration and astonishilient of very
traveller, we were mused unit e. •ited
by the extraordinary beauty and m -eel
lent coudition of the temple. at Pe a.
Even in coming upon it as - id, at
disadvantage, I remember that Paul,
who was a passionate admirer, of the
arts, when he first. obtained a glimpse
of it, involuntarily cried out, and, cony-'
dug on to the front with n vivacity
never saw him exhibit before or after-
wards, clapped his bands and shouted ,
in eestacy. To the last, day of our be- I
ing together he was in the habit of re
ferring to his extraordinary fit of en- f
thnsinem when he first came npon that
temple; and I enit 'well imagine that, !
entering by this narrow &tile, with the
feelings roused by its extraordius . try and
romantic wildness and beanty,,,the first.,
view of that superb facade mast pro-i
duce an effect which could never page t
away. - Even now that I have returned
to the pursuit* and ught.seigrossing
incidents of a Mb naiest city in
the world, often • tiona as wide
ly different as nil., darkness, I
see before me the cede of that
temple. Neither the Colloaeum at Rome-,
grand and interesting,. as it is, nor the
ilium of the Acropolis at Athens, nor 1
the Pyramids, nor the mighty temples 1
of the Nile, are so often present to thy,
_memory.
Leaving the temple and the open area
on which it. fronts, and following Owl
Stream, we entered another defile math

shouts of thousands; and little coned
an ancient Edninite ima g ine that a
stranger from a then unknown world
would ono day be wandering among
the ruins of the proud and wonderful
city, meditating, npon the tate ofa rave
that has for ago@ passed away. lVhere
are ye, inhabitants of this desolate
city? ye who once sat on the seats
of this theatre—the young, the high

power, and lived as if there was no

stretched away in long ranges before
