The ,ii a rays of our candles were reflected in a brilliant and pleasing mariner, causing wi ll e xclamations of delight from the venous members of the party, as some n e w beauty was discovered. Brilliantly lighted u p, this cave would present a gorgeous o ppearance. About two•thirds of the way tro ll the entrance, another cave, smaller an d lower than the one just mentioned, was v i s ited by several members of the party. In this cave, which is very low, we crawled a bout fifty feet, when the passage became 0 ,, n arrow and the exertion so great, that f u rther progress was considered a useless israste of time and physical force. The bottom, top, and sides of this smaller cave are covered with beautiful water formations, pendant and growing 'upwards from solid limestone that forms the bedrock of the cave s. In this smaller cave an opening, wa s formed, not large enough to admit the ? maga of a man, into which one of the p .sty dropped a stone, which fell silently s everal seconds before it was heard to strike the bottom, thus giving sure evidence of still another and larger cave below,' As we were limited for time, we did not at tempt to explore the caves farther. But, procuring owl' specimens its we could With the aid of a orowbar and the expenditure o f strength, we returned to .the upper world again. I havb no doubt that in a few months, when the whole series of eaves has been thoroughly explored, very large, beautiful, and extensive ones will be found, and probably quite a large body of water. It even would not be surprising if a large deposit of silver ore was found iii—one of the caves, as quite a large and well-develop. : ed vein of ore was being Worked when the entrance to the cave was made. One thing is sure, it will become a great eurioilty in this great country of oddities. The great difficulty, or rather singularity in connection with this mine—not finding water in any part of it—that; bothered practical miners and scientific gentlemen who have been engaged in - working the Mowry mine, has at last been solved in a' peculiar manner, by the discovery of these caves. They had long been thinking and arguing upon this singularity, and congrat ulating themselves upon their unexpensive pumping machinery. Is feet, they were even becoming embarrassed for a supply of water with which to work the ores from their dry mine, when stiddenly they find that all danger from, and all hope of, Water in the mine perished by the sudden en trance of the miner's pick into these beau tiful caves. Ltteraryi A Curious Collettiol of .very old .books belonging to the late George Daniel, was sold at auction in London, lase,month. Some of the titles are very quaint—such as: "Here Begynneth a Treatyse HOW the Eye Fader of Henan sendeth Dethe to Simon every Oreatotre to Wipe & gyve Ae. counte of theyr Lyves ihtbis World°, and is in mailer of a. morall Playe." "Dob son's Drie Cobham, Bonne and Heire to .

This tract is of singular curiosity, giving a remarkably interesting account of Ban kes's celebrated dancing horse, immortal ized by' Shakespeare in " Love's Labor Lost." This horse went up to the top of St. Paul's, and did many of the most astounding tricks, for some of which, when traveling abroad, his unfortunate master was condemned and executed for witchery. Among other. literary curiosities was an edition of Gray's Odes, with manuscript notes, in the autograph of the ,poet, su perbly bound in morocco, enriche d with ex quisite holing, joints, and beautifully flo rested borders inside, lined with crimson silk, contained in morocco case, wlth spring lock, and dated "Strawberry-hill, 1757. " This production is of the greatest interest, and highly curious, the poet not only hav ing explained in his manuscript notes up on the margin the passages in the odes which had been thought obscure, but ac knowledged the various sources from which he had borrowed aid for their composition. It was sold for £llO. The last day of the sale was devoted to the Shakespearian por tion of the collection, the principal treas ure being a copy of the very rare first folio (1623.) which Miss Burdett Coutts ob tained for 682 guineas. Dr, Brownson, of the Catholic) Chureht, and proprietor of the Review which bears his name, has awakened a somewhat bitter trintroversy by his recent articles on the Papacy. Among other criticisms from his pan, the following has, elicited sharp com ments from his fellow Catholic writers ‘, We belong Co the Catholio Church ; We love her as our mother, and we Mean to conduct ourselves toward her as an obe dient son. But we distinguish at - Rome, as elsewhere, between what is Divine and what is human; betwion what Go& has established and what men have invented.

Patents —Tho 10000itu tion of the United States went into opera tion on the 4th of March, 1789, and the first patent livr was approved by Washing ton on the 10th of April, 1790. The pat eats issued previous to the passage of.the law of 1836 were not numbered, but the first patent issued under that law bora date July 28, 1836, and wail numbered "one." Since that time the patents have been numbered in succession, reaching now the number of 42,998. Greatness In Littleness,—At the age of 71, Dr. Scott of Buffalo, N. Y., wrote upon an enamelled card with a stile, on space eaaetly equal to that of -one aide of a three cent piece, the Lord's Prayer, the Apostle's Creed, the parable of the Ten Virgins, the parable of the rich man and 'Lazarus, the Beatitudes, the fifteenth Psalm, the one hundred and twentieth Psalm the one hun dred and thirty-third Psalm,the one hun dred and thirty-first Psalm, and the figures "1860." Every word, every letter, and every point, of all these passages was writ ten exquisitely on this minute spaue; and that old man not only saw every mark he made, but had the delicacy of muscular action, and steadiness of nerve, to form the letters so beautifully that they abide the test of the highest magnifying power. They were, of course, written by micro scopic aid.—Timothy Titcomb. The Suez Canal.--It appears that the struggle about the Suez Canal project be tween France, England and Turkey, is purely political. If it should be built it could be of little practical value to com merce on account of its great cost and con sequent high tolls, and also, as it is said, on account of the dangers of the Red Sea navigation, and the uncertainty of the Mediterranean. The French desire it, and have formed a company for the construc tion 'of it, in order that the Isthmus may come under their control;' which would be of vast consequence in ease of a'war with England. The English are doing all in their power by diplomacy to hinder it, and have induced the Turkish. Sultan to make the most exorbitant demands upon the company. Doubtless this is one l oonrce of the alienation between France and Eng land. It may lead to serious results; as, Prinbe Napoleon is now ,counselling the utter disregard of the demands of Turkey. There are now iri the British Islands three hundred and seventy five distinct rail way companies, who own eleven thousand five hundred miles of road. They carry above eighty million passengers yearly, and above thirty million tons of merchandise and minerals. They give employment to probably not less than two hundred thou sand persons. Historic Bell.—The oldest bell in Amer ica is in the little Catholic chapel in the village of St. Regis, on the St. Lawrence river. The bell in that church (says the Norwich Aurora) was taken from Deerfield, at the time of the French and Indian in vasion of that place in 1704 and, it is said,. was suspended on a pole and , carried on the shoulders of. the Indians to the place where it now bangs. It was originally purchased in France by the Church of St. 'Regis, and the vessel, in which it was being taken to Quebec, was captured by an English crui . ser and taken into the port cif Salem. The bell, as a part of the cargo, was sold, and bought by the church in Deerfield. The invaders of Deerfield were from St. - Regis, and took special pride in recapturing and returning the bell. Care for Deafness,—A - man in France has been cured of deafneis by repeated visits - to a ohamber filled with air oompreased to two atmospheres and a half. Similar cases had occurred before, and the 'subject is at het attracting much attention among the French as it should among American physicians. Another account says that by this treat ment catarrh, asthma and other complaints of the respiratory organs may be removed; in croup the compressed air will flatten down the aclventitous membranes: And, in disorders arising from Weakness, conipressY ed air will arterialize the blood; and in crease the vital power of the patient. The number of printing presses noiv in operation or ready Tor use in the Treasury building in Washington is so large that if planed in a line they would . extend a quar ter of a mile. - The city of London now contains a popu lation of three millions, including ,eight parliamentary cities or boroughs.. Twelve thousand new houses are built annually. It may not be generally known that the manufactory ,of the aobelin tapestries , belongs to the French government, and that it is rarely that any of it gets into the market. One Jehan Gobelen, a Flemish dyer of the fifteenth century, originated this work. He erected a building in. Paris, known as the "Gobelin's Folly," and first used by the brothers Cannaye; and in 1665 by Genek and his workman Siondson, the first manufacturer of the fabric upon► the highloom. The work is so tedious that an artist is note expected in one year to pro duce more than about a square metre, which is valued at three thousand francs. It is a remarkable fact that, the contest before Atlanta`brought together three old Olass-mates froM West Point. Gen. Hood, Major-Gen. McPherson, and Brigadier-Gen. Schofield were old chums,"• being room mates during the last year of their -cadet life. McPherson and Hood were particular friends, yet one fell by the hands of the other.

On Tuesday, Aug. 9th, an accidental explo sion of an ammunition barge at City Point re sulted in the death of fifty-three men, and the wounding of one hundred and twenty-six others At last accounts from the Army .of the Poto mac nothing of public interest was going on, be yond an increased amount of picket firing, and occasional artillery duels.

The Monitor at the same time engaged the rant Tennessee, the latter failing in several attempts' to run down our vessels. Finally our monitors olosed with her, and she was rammed by the Monongahela, Laokawana, and Hartford. The Hartford started to run her down, when the Metacomet, on the same errand, collided with the Hartford. The Tennessee ran out the white flag. She lost but three men, and Farragut is probably using her as one of his fleet, she not being greatly damaged. The Tecumseh was sunk by a torpedo, and it is thought can be raised. Only ten of her crew are known to be saved. The gunboat Oneida had a shell explode in her holler, scalding thirty of her crew. Rebel Admiral Buchanan is not expected to live. The Chicliasaw and Winnebago chased the Gaines and Morgan, into Navy. Cove, and they are blockaded without a chance of escape. 'The dis patch boat Phillippi was burned at sea while the fight was in progress. Farragut will push right on for Mobile. Lieut. Comstock, commanding the rebel gnu boat Selina, and his crew were nearly.all killed. The loss on the Hartford was twenty-three killed I and forty-three wounded. Our loss was 248 killed and wounded, including Capt. `Cravens and crew of the Teoumseh. Fort' Powell was , blown up on the night of the Bth.. , Troops have been landed and were at the forts •on Friday night. The loss of the rebels is Unknown. All our Beet is inside of the rebel obstructions. The Hartford will go North for repairs. The Selma was sunk by the Metacomet. • The rebel news` from `Mobil:, as contained in the Exaininer of the 12th, is dated Mobilellth. That paper says: "The' enemy steamed in .the main entrance with four monitors . and, about .sixteen heavy vessels of war. The. Tecumseh, Commander McCravenii was sunk with nearly all his crew; also another gunboat, the Phillipi, which was subsequently burned: The Richmond, Hartford and Brooklyn followed by the remainder of the fleet, pushed by Fort _Morgan under full headway,. when they were encountered by the Tenneesee, Morgan, Gaines and Selma. The Exciminer also gives a list of twenty-eight Federal vessels 'engaged; having two hundred and twelve guns, - with lin. Confed erates, having thirty-two gune. It was a most unequal contest in which our gallant navy was engaged, and we lost the battle, but our ensign went down in a blaze of glory." From Attanta we learn that Gen. Sherman is by no means inactive. His policy appears to be to draw his lines more closely around the doomed city, and by entirely cutting off all• communion= lion, even by wagon trains, to compel Hood to assume the offensive again, even under greater disadvantages than before. If he attempts re treat, he immediately exposes himself to flank - and rear, attacks, and would , also be obliged' to destroy such of his stores es he could not carry with him in a rapid movement. ' • . Hood's supplies are getting very short, and all additions to hie stores must be made by Wagon trains, The loss of five hundred wagons must be seriously felt, just now, and the constantraids of our cavalry, with 'the limited means at the command of Hood, very dangerous. The ex tremities to which the rebels are -being rapidly reduced by the vigilance of our cavalry, ie well known to Sherman: he'relies greatly upon it to compel. Hood to assume the offensive. It, is predicted that Hood will next attempt to turn our right wing, and that the attempt will be made in a few days: Everything, however, is fully prepared for his reception ; indeed the bloody repulse already suffered will be eclipsed if the rebel General really make a serious effort to drive back our lines, and recover possession of the railroad leading from Atlanta. Through rebel sources rep' rts have been re ceived that Beauregard, with' 20,000 men, has been sent, to reinforce Hood at= Atlanta. Other accounts state that he has been sent to superin tend the defences at Mobile. Nothing certain is . known of his movementS. A sharp skirmish near Abbeyville, Miss., took place on the 10th between our cavalry under Gen.'Hatch, and 2,000 rebel cavalry under Chal mers, in whPoh the rebels were whipped, with the loss of their caissons and •several prisoners. The steamer 'Empress; from New Orleans on the 6th, was fired into on the evening of the 10th, about a mile below Gaines' lauding, by a masked battery of six 12-pounders, supported by a large force of cavalry posted on the. Arkansas shore. Sixty shots and shells ,struck the steamer, many of which penetrated the hull 'and burst in the hold. Musketry was also used, badly riddling her upper works. She tad about 500 persona aboard, including 200 discharged soldiers, many of them sick, and fifty or sixty ladies and chil dren. Five persons were killed and 11 wounded. • Capt. Malley, commander of the steamer, was among the killed, his head being shot. off while telling the pilot never to surrender. The, engine was disabled, which rendered the boat unman ageable, and she drifted toward the battery. At this critical moment gunboat No. 3 appeared, opened on the battery, towed the Teasel to a place of safety, where her- damages were re paired, and the gunboat 'convoyed , her twenty- five miles up the •river. On-Saturday morning, dispatches briefly an nounced the depredations of the rebel pirate Tallahassee on the coast Off Sandy Hook. Some six vessels fell a prey to the pirate, and were treated in a similar manner to that in which the victims of the pirate Florida were disposed of, The Tallahassee is an 'English :steamer, built of iron, painted white,.with two smokestacks, two, screws, about two hundred and thirty feet in length, twenty feet'bearn, and draws about nine feet of water. Her bell is marked " Tallahassee, of London, 1864." She .is fore and aft .schooner rigged ; mounts three guns—one small on the forecastle, a long 32-pounder amidships s i ns a .24-pounder aft. She carries four waist boats. - Her crew consists . of about one hundred and twenty persons, including the officers. -She is said,to have run out of Wilmington about six. days ago, and has a quantity of cotton on board to protect - her boilers, and there are four barrels of turpentine bit deck to be used in firing ves sels. She is commanded by Sohn Taylor Wood, C.• S. N. The last seen of the privateer she was steering southeast, with the pilot-boat James Funk.in tow as a tender. All of the officers and crews of the, vessel's eaptured by the privateer . were paroled; and signed a document promising not to.take'aritis against the rebels until regu larly exchanged. Within three hours after re ceipts of information of the operations of, the pirate, two .steamships were sent in pursuit, of her. -' . Pennsilvania Legialature.—M; obedience to the call of, Gov. Cartin,:the Legislature met,- in special session, in Harrieburgh, on Tuesday, August 9th. Gov. Curtin, in his message, re- views the course pursued by Penueliliania in the support of the General Government, and recites the facts connected the- recent invasion ,of the State. - He successfully defends the Common-, wealth from the imputationi whiCh have been so freely cast upon it, and criticises the action of the General Government in refusing to allow Karyland'and Pennsylvania to raise recruits for home defence, to be credited Upon their respec tive quotas-under the late call. `He urges the immediate preparation and passage of such en actments as would-be requisite•to put the State in a better condition for defence ; suggesting that assessors make an immediate enrollment of the State- : militia , whose officers should be ap pointed by the Executive, , instead ofbeing left, to ; election by the men, the latter course producing jealousies and dissatisfaction. ' . The Governor also suggests the .organization of a special corps of fifteen - regiments, to be known as "Minute Men," to be mustered• for a- Service - of three years;"to be drilled; at appoint ed times and ,places, to be clothed, armed and equipped at ihe , expettee 'af the State, to be lia ble at.ariy time to be called into the immediate service of the .State; and to consist in proper proportions of infantry; artillery and cavalry. This force to' be-raised especiallyin the southern tier of counties. To raise and sustain a stand ing army of fifteen regiments would involve an annual expenditure of fifteen millions of dol lars. The plan proposed would be almost equally efficient, and not near so expensive. Some general remarks are added, as to defects which should be at once remedied in the revenue and bodiity bills: - The suffering people of . Chambersburg are- commended-to the liberality, of the Legislature. After the reception of the Governor's messg e, both Houses proceeded to business, •in which howeVer, With the exception of passing bills in norPoratinc.some ten. oil' and other companies.. little progress has been made. On Thursday the Legislature took a trip -to Chambersburg. On Friday.a bill was reported, from the select committee, for the better, organization oril-e militia of the State, and it is hoped that imme , diate attention will be given to this measure of such pressing importance. A great deal of in dignation is already expressed by leading jour nals of the State, at the dilatory action of the Assembly. Gov. Curtin has signed the three bills paseed 'at the late session, vacating the charter of'the Connellsville Rp.ilroad, and incorporating the. Southern Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The special committee, appointed at the late session tonit during the recess, and prepare a new and complete revenue bill for the State; con- Slating Of Messre.

A demonstration in i favor of making "General MoClellin the' cikndidateof the Chicago Coliven c , lion took place at Union-square, N. Y., on the evening of Wednesday, Aug. 10th. It was one of the largest political meetings ever held in the City of New York, there being fully 80,000 per sons in attendance. It was characterized with the greatest enthusiasm throughout. The Springfield Republican states a rumor that Secretary Fessenden designs resigning as soon as he can get the affairs of his department in a shape to permit him to do so. Large arrivals of foreign recruits have recent ly taken plebe at Boston, Macs., the emigrants enlisting in the United, States army as soon as they arrive, in accordance with an understand ing to that effect had with them befcire they left Europe. ,It is stated that any desired number of recruits can be obtained in this way, if foreign. Clovernments should not interpose any difficul ties. The enlistments are the result of private enterprise altogethei. Twenty-seven ladies of New Bedford, Mass., have agreed to furnish a representative each. The iron-clad steamship New Ironrides was taken off. the dock at the Philadelphia Navy yard on Monday, August Bth, her repairs being- nearly compleled. _She is , expected to be ready for sea in about two weeks. Foreign.—The Paris Praise under reserve, announces the : conclusion of peace between Ger many and Denmark. Thee basis is unknown. The armistice has been prolongede On the afternoon of July 29th; Pullet: dent was formally prorogued. The Queen, in her.speeoh, lamented that the civil war in North America lied not been : brought to, a close. Her Majesty will 'continue to observe a strict neutrality be tween the belligerents, (that is, treat the rebels as well as the United States,) and would rejoice at a friendly reconciliation between the oontend , ing parties. She expresses saOsfaoLion at, the influx of netton from all parts of the world, and t h e consequent mitigation of the ilistrese manufactures ; regrets the failure of the 'Deno'. German Conference, and'hopes the.new negotia tions at Vienna may be successful.,. The; rest of the speech enumerates -accomplished facts, ,and rejoices .at the continued prosperity of the country.' An Ostend letter in the Inorependince Belie mentions - the arrival in po - rt of- a Confederate war steamer, the -screw corvette BOterfly; Capt. Russell, and paddle corvette Paul :Tones, Capt. Engles., The Yiyel De Cherbourg says : :" Three vessels belonging to the Federal States of Amer- ice, the Niagara, Sacramento, and Kearsarge, and four belonging to the Confederates, the Georgia, Florida, New Alabama, and Gen6ral Lee, have re cently been met in the channel by several mer chantmen. An action between them is expect:- ed." This may be taken for : what it is worth. The Georgia, it will be remembered, ban been sold at Liverpool, and lies quietly in dock there, and as to some of the other vessels named, they read very much like phantom ships. Neverthe less, the French journals ,continue .to harp on, the impending sea-fight between Federal and Rebel cruisers in the channel. In the House of. Commons, Layard said that England intended to recognize the'newlgeilcail Empire without waiting for the-States and Ter ritories, now under Juarez, to be brought iiithin the authority of the new government. ~Lord Lord Howard. called attention to the enlistment of emigrants in. America. complained of subjects having been entrapped, and urged watchfulness and energy to put -it down. Layard admitted- there was great complaint, but the Government could not do more than had been done. He. trusted the. Ameiican authorities would. en,. deavor to check abuses. Several speeches were made, including one . by Taylor, who defended the Northern. Government, which was deter mined, he said, to put down the slave trade, of the rebels. . - Hon. Mr. Preston, formerly the United States Minister at Madrid, and who was, some months ago, appointed Confederate Envoy to Mexico. has arrived in London. This gentleman had reached Havana on the way to his post in Mex ico, when the refusal of the Emperor Maximilian 'to enter into any relations with the Confederate States determined the Government at Richmond .not to expOSe theirlepresentative to the affront which awaited' him 'at Mexico, but to dispatch him to Eurdpe. - - - Parliament has been-discussing yfith no little interest, the immense emigration from Ireland, and the conviction seems still to exist in some minds that the U. S. Goverwnent is using im proper means to'secure in this way recruits for its-armies; as if the large pay.and bounties, as contrasted . with ri the miserable pittaoe earned by, hard labor at hotrie, were not inducement suffi cient to lead many to enlist. ' Lord Brougham, in a speech in Parliament, July 18th, expressed his belief that in the course of the next trio months events on the other side of the Atlantia would render it expe dient, and, if expedient, desirable; for England and Fratice to use their good offices in endeavor ing to put.an - end to that cruel war *wean the North and the Sduth which every friend of 'hu manity must:deplore." - ,• The foreign Protestant residents at Monterey, the capital of the State of Tamaulipas,, have formed a Mexican Evangelization Society, -the prospects of which are very satisfactory. The Mexican bishops are among the most intolerant of the world, and will do all that_is in their., power to suppress Protestant worship through out Mexico . ; but it is believed that even the new Emperor, though be needs the 'support of the priesthood, will not go the full length of their demands, and will grant to Protestants the rights of citizenship. • Noral Surgeon General King, The numerous* friends of Dr. James King, who recently resigned his position as Surgeon General of Pennsylvania, will be gratified to know that he has resumed the practice of his profession in Pittsburgh. Gov. Curtin, in accepting the resignation of Dr. King, bears the highest testimony to his fidelity as an officer, and to the unceasing care, atten tion, and professional skill bestowed by Dr. King upon those who were the subjects of his care. Hon. Thos. Williams..—The COnforees of the Twenty-third Congressional District, composed of the counties pf Armstrong, Butler, and North ern portion of Allegheny, met an Wednesday; in thelaorough of Kittanning, "for the purpose 'of nominating a, candidate for Congress. The re sult of the Conference was the. unanimous re nomination of Min- Thomas William, as repre sentative of the district. Pittsburgh Newsboys' Home.—A number of benevolent gentlemen, compassionating the neg lected olass of newsboys, for whose bodies 'and souls no one seems to care, have associated them selves for the purpose of providing more 'Com fortable lodgings and .other conveniences for this hitherto neglected class. There are said to be more than a hundred newsboys in the city and vicinity; and,of this number, we are informed by those who have taken pains to anCerblin' the feels, more than 'half have no place to lay their heSds, but sleep in alleys, stairways and halls near the various printing offices: Their ordina ry conversation developes an amazlng precocity. in the use of profane and disgusting language. It was therefore the, suggestion of Christian char : - ity to provide for the wants of these poor oren tures, and thus to reach and operate upon their better nature. Convenient rooms have already been rented on the corner of Fifth and Smithfield Streets, and it is proposed to fit them. up as lodg ing rooms, bath-rooms, dining room and kitchen.
