The Burning Mountain—Hot Sulphur
Springs
['Correspondence of The l'resq.]
POTTSVILLE, June 19, ISSS
Twenty-three years ago, be the same more
or less, a party of miners were driving a drift
on the great jugular coal vein, on the slope
of the Broad Mountain, and nearly opposite
the Mine Hill Water Gap, one of the most
picturesque scenes in the state. It was win
ter—and being so, the water which drippled
down through the timbering congealed in
huge stalactites, and converted the interior
into walls of brilliant glacial crystals. To
remove this obstruction, a fire was kindled on
Saturday afternoon, and then the miners
withdrew to spend the intervening Sabbath.
Upon entering the mine, on Monday morning
they found the timbers blackened and char
red, and the coal vein itself discharging vol
umes of sulphurous gasses, and crackling
and hissing in a slow but terrible combustion.
The vein of coal was from twenty-five to fifty
feet in thickness, dips nearly perpendicularly
and has a strike of nearly half a mile between
the abraded valleys which form its termini
above water-level. All efforts to extinguish
the fire proved ,una.valing ; and now after
quarter of a century of volcanic action, dur
ing which period the surface of the moun
tain has been pitted with numerous little cra
ters, it is still burning, and mouldering, and
steaming away as vigorously as ever.
The waters which issue from the mountain
are warm, and at some points quite hot.—
This was natural enough, and excited no par
ticularly curiosity. A. year or•two ago, how
ever, Mr. John Magiunis had occasion to
drive in an adit below the old level, and
while thus engaged the miners found that,
besides being very hot, the water hail some
other very puculiar and extraordinary quali
ties. Its damaging effectsupon shoe-leather
presented at once a new and singular phase
in the statistics of milling economy. The
water would take the liberty of running right
through the stoutest and most compact water
proolbootB ; but, in doing this, it was observ
ed with compensating satisfaction, that bun
ions, corns, and all cutaneous sores and ex
crescences very mysteriously disappeared,
and a feeling of unmistakable agility and
springuess in the limbs, and of general :sta
mina in the whole system, so utterly at va
riance with the exhaustive daily labor of the
miner, at once ibllowed the foot marks of
original curiosity. Familiarity with the wa
ters, and the hot vapors of the mine, soon el
evated to the very highest pitch the popular
estimate of their medicinal qualities. They
began to drink them, and the effects were
pleasant and decided ; they bathed in them,
and it was found that they not only healed
ordinary cuts, bruises, and swellings to which
laborers are exposed, but also scrofulous-erup
tions, and the whole family of diseases aris
ing from hunare blood and a weak and fee
ble constitution. The most excruciating pains
of rheumatism have been dispelled almost
instantaneously, and as if by magic. Some
of the most extraordinary effects on record
have been produced within the last three
months; persons whose contracted tendons
bent their bodies like a hoop, or contorted
their limbs, or 'suffered otherwise the painful
effects of diseases, have, in a brief process of
drinking and bathing, been restored to com
plete health—enjoying a tone, a freshness
and vigor of body and mind to which they
had formely been strangers. An old horse,
which had long done service in the mines, be
came at length so crippled and debilitated as
to be hardly able to move. In this condition
he was turned loose, and allowed t' shift for
himself. Ile ranged along the burning moun
tain ; inhaled its steaming vapor ; drank its
thermal waters; and walb , wed in its marshy
pools. lie soon returned to the scenes of his
former labor, looking strong and chew fug,
and stepping over the ground with the mus
cular grace of a cat. A brief trial of the wa
ters had thus snatched the old stager from
impending, death.
These wonderful performances, occuring
in our very midst, have given the waters a
celebrity which is extending itself abroad;
and there is not a day that does not bring its
scores of persons to the mine in quest of sup
plies. A month ago, I met a friend alighting
from his carriage, who had just returned
from the mine, and bearing with him a large
demijohn. Feeling a curiosity which, I hope
was not too obtrusive for the personal regard
I entertain fbr my friend, I ventured an in
quiry as to the contents of the jug. He told
me it contained mineral water from the Burn
ing Mountain; that he had heard great things
of it, and that lie was going to send the dem
ijohn to a friend, (Mr. 5..) one of the propri
etors of a leading morning paper in your city.
I do not know what purpose the water thus
forwarded may have subsorved, but a few
days ago a letter reached here ordering a
barrel of it to be sent down as soon as possi
ble, and instituting sundry inquiries regard
ing the phenomenon. Similar orders are
coming from New York and elsewhere, and
they arc calculated to stimulate measures for
their immediate introduction to the public.—
There arc, as yet, no facilities whatever for
bathing at the mine. The nearest inn is more
than a mile distant. It is very doubtful,
moreover, whether improvements for the ac
commodation of guests will be made at all,
inasmuch as the lease of Mr. Maginiiis is fur
a comparatively short period, and would not
justify the necessary expenses of its equip
ments as a watering place. It is contempla
ted, for the present, to convey the water
away from the mine, and, if sufficient encour
agement be shown by the land-owners and
others interested, to erect bathing-houses, and
a plain hotel building. The water may then
be sent to Philadelphia in hogshead, and af
forded at such low rates per gallon or cask
as to place it within the means of all classes.
TERRIBLE DISASTER AT A MASONIC CEI.E
-1313-I.TION—FORTY OR FIFTY WOUNDED.—The
Masons celebrated St. John's Day at Wells
ville, N. Y., on June 24, and after an oration,
adjourned to a large hall for dinner. About
even hundred persons had entered the room,
when about half of the floor gave way, pre
cipitating about three hundred to the floor
beneath. At the same instant the floor above
pane down with a quantity of Cutler's fan
ning mills, lumber, &e., burying the mass of
people in the ruins. Portunately,_ no one
was killed, but from forty to fifty were wound
ed, and about twenty seriously. Mr. and
Mrs. Metcalf, of Wellsville ; Mr. Daniel
Dexter, of Independence ; Mrs. Johnson, of
Friendship ; Mrs. Colvin, of Bingham, Penn
sylvania, are reported dangerously injured.
At noon, the next day, all the injured were
alive, and most of them comfortable.
.bout thirty Bostonians, employed on
the sugar plantations in Cuba, have just
come home on their annual visit.
The Flood at Cairo
[Correspondence of the St. - Louis Republican.]
CAIRO, June 18, A. M.—The Eclipse ar
rived up yesterday afternoon, with 250 pas
sengers and a light freight. She burst her
heater when near Natchez, killing tmi per
sons by the explosion. She lust twenty
hours by the accident, attd will be laid up at
New Albany for repairs.
The Rodolph has a number of passengers.
She went to Mound City yesterday after
noon, and left here at 10 o'clock last night.
The Vigilance Committee shipped off on her
fourteen vagabonds who were not needed
here. The New York passed up at S o'clock
with a good freight.
The ricer rose here one and a half inches
yesterday, but yet lacks nearly two feet of
getting over the Ohio levee at the steamboat
landing. The Mississippi was falling as far
down as Cape Girardeau when the liodolph
passed there. The Ohio fell a half inch at
Paducah yesterday. Wabash is rising very
rapidly, being higher than it has been known
since 1823. Cumberland is falling, and Ten
nessee rising slowly.
The condition of the levee has riot materi
ally altered since yesterday morning. No
buildings have fallen, and it is probable that
we have experienced the worst, unless a
heavy wind should sprino• n up, which would
probably do considerable damage inside of
the town, and perhaps injure to some extent
the buildings on the levee. A very heavy
drift was running in fhe Ohio yesterday, but
nearly ceased before night. The Vigilance
Committee are watching the town carefully,
preventing depredations, and sending off sus
pected persons and those who desire to leave.
There is a quantity of stock collected upon
the levees, with nothing to eat, and the com
mittee yesterday offered to send all the cattle
to high ground by the ferry-boat Manchester,
but the owners refused to let them go. We
are somewhat annoyed by people who are
continually coming here out of mere curiosi
ty, who can be of no possible use, and are
only in the way.
The Thomas Scott, Cairo and Paducah
packet, is rendering very essential service by
taking all the people who desire to leave•on
the ears or for the upper river, taking the
poor gratis, and accommodating with meals
and lodging as many as possible. She makes
a trip to :Mound City and back every morn
ing for the train, and brings down the pas
sengers at night on her return from Padu
cah.
Three hundred feet of the track of the Illi
nois Central, below Burkeville, eight miles
above Cairo, have been washed away ; and
across that point there is water from Charles
ton, Mo., to the bluffs in Kentucky, a dis
tance of nearly thirty miles.
The inhabited portion of Mound City is
nearly all under water, more or loss, and the
passage from house to house is chiefly effect
ed by means of boats and rafts. There is
three feet of water in front of the Shelton
House. The "Locust Mound," whence the
place is named, has cracked in several places,
and is slightly caving in. A false floor has
been arranged in the hotel, which obviates
nearly all inconvenience, and the landlord,
Mr. Place, continues to supply his guests
with plenty of good provisions. About half
a mile of the Mound City Railroad is under
water, but the trains all arrive and depart
on time.
'Santa Anna's IVlanifestO to the Mexi-
In March, Gen. Santa Anna departed from
his charming retreat, at Tuabago, in New
Granada, where for two or three years he
has been enjoying the felicities of repose and
cock-fighting, and took up his line of march
for Mexico. lle was encouraged by the dis
turbed condition of that Republic to believe
that he might once more put himself at the
head of affairs. Accordingly he proceeded
to the island of St. Thomas, where he has
tarried for a season, it being a convenient
point for observation. lie is there still, hav
ing discovered no occasion as yet for present
ing himself in Mexico, and there is very little
probability that any call will fur his services
in that quarter will be made.
Ile has not, however, been an inattentive
observer, though not required as an actor,
and an address to his countrymen of porten
tous length has just made its appearance.—
This manitesto is an egotistical rehersal of
Santa Anna's alleged services, and a tedious
recital of the wars of factions in Mexico.—
We subjoin the conclusion of his manifesto :
" On arrivinf , at the island last month, I
learned with satisfaction that the execrable
little tyrant, (Comonfort) after perjuring
himself, had been cast down from the post
which lie never ought to have occupied ; and
that although faction made its last efforts, it
could not again succeed in putting itself
above the immense majority of the nation
that despised it. I was much pleased, be
sides, to learn that an Administration had
been formed, with which were connected the
most honorable citizens, men of wisdom and
true patriotism," &c.
Pennsylvania Railroad
Some of the Pittsburg papers having stated
that "the Pennsylvania Railroad company
has studiously avoided giving any assurance
that the rates of freight fromPittsburg would
be reduced if the tonnage duty were removed,"
the president, J. Edgar Thompson, has writ
ten a letter to the Post, in which he says that
"the freight to and from Pittsburg and sta
tions along the line of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, will receive the full advantage of the
repeal of this tax or duty. The Company
will be content with the increased business
resulting from diminishing rates, and the
consequent ability of their customers to travel
more frequently over the road. The princi
ple of 'discrimination' is not the result of the
• tonnage tax' or dependent upon it. It affects
Philadelphia as well as Pittsburg, and is a
law of commerce which cannot be disregard
ed, when there is a necessity of its applica
tion, without injury to this company, and to
both of those cities. But the imposition of
the tonnage tax must necessarily increase
the amount qf the discrimination in freight
charges, while its repeal would remove all
reasonable complaints on that account."
X .. - 6—The remains of Louis Baehr, says the
Baltimore Exchange, of Friday, the late well
known and esteemed professor of music, in
that city, who was so brutally murdered in
Pittsburgh on the 18th inst., were consigned
to the tomb yesterday afternoon at the Balti
more Cemetery. This last sad tribute to his
memory was participated in by the Leidcr
krantz, Harmoneon, and Anion singing asso
ciations, the Turner Yereins,
the employees
of Messrs. Gachle & Co., and Knabe & Co.,
piano manufacturers, together with a. large
concourse of other citizens. At the grave
the several musical associations
_joined in
singing a grand funeral requiem, the melo
dies of which, combined with the sobs of
grief on the part of his bereaved family and
friends, rendered the scene one o 1 a solemn
and impressive character.

Impostures.
The order of the Postmaster General to the
Postmasters throughout the country, direct
ing thorn to retain all letters, received at their
offices addresseil to fictitious names, has fallen
like a \vet I danket upon a class of sharpers
who have grown rich in practising on the
credulity of the public. There are a half
dozen or more of this class located in Albany
whose profits have been seriously affected by
the order of the Postmaster General. One
has grown to opulence by advertising that he
is the manufacturer of "love powders," which
"possess the power of charming to your em
braces the proudest beauties and the most in
tractable of the sterner sex !" These pow
ders are sent by mail at three dollars a box.
They cannot cost the manufacturer much
more than three cents each. He assures the
gullible that the use of one box is generally
sufficient ; a second is almost certain to cap
tivate the coldest; but in rare instances a
third must be resorted to. That, however,
was never known to fail ! The victim re
ceives the first and second boxes in return
for his six dollars; but he never gets a re
turn for his third investment. He might
write fifty times after that to the love powder
man, but he will receive no answer:
Another sharper advertises that he is the
manufacturer of bogus coin, which will pass
for good even at the mint—a description of
coin, that will successfully stand all chemical
tests and defy the shrewdest bank detectives.
The rogue who would deal safely in bogus
money sends five dollars to purchase some.—
He receives in return ten dollars in good
coin manufactured at the mint. The sharper
is now out five dollars, but his victim, find
ing that the ten dollars sent him pass readily
at a profit to him of fifty per cent., concludes
to go to work on a larger scale. lie, sends
fifty dollars, and expects one hundred of the
perfect "bogus" in return ; but he hears no
more from the coin operator, who by giving
ten dollars for five dollars gains fifty dollars.
This fellow, it will be perceived, is complete
ly secure from criminal prosecution. lie
does not deal in bogus coin at all, and his
victims dare not complain, because in doing
so they would be compelled to admit to the
world that they were anxious to operate in
counterfeit money.
Another advertises that for the moderate
sum of fifty dollars he will impart to any
lawyer a secret that will, beyond all chances,
enable him to win every suit in which he
may be engaged, whether of love or law.—
The
'of
consists in the possession of the
eyes 'of a very rare Egyptian fowl, which
none can procure but the advertiser! Strange
as it may seem this fellow has caught some
flats and pocketed their money. When asked
what return he proposed to make to one of
his victims, he replied that he would go into
State street, purchase a spring chicken, cook
and eat the meat, extract the eyes and send
them to the wistful lawyer, and if they could
see further than his victim's eyes, of which
he had no doubt, he might win the suit.
These sharpers bear fictitious names, and
hence all communications to them arc re
tained. They will be sent to the dead letter
office.
It may not be amiss to say that the general
order affects a few, in this city and elsewhere,
whose business is deemed by the public com
paratively legitimate, but who, for reasons
best known to themselves, have thought pro
per to conduct it under names other than
their own. The dfliculty with regard to them
is very easily remedied. They have only to
abandon their aliases and their letters cannot
be withheld.—Albany Argus of the 8111.
A Perilous Position to a Man up a Tree
The Freeport (Ill.) Bulletin tells thefollow
ing story :
Mrs. Barmingham, wife of the master me
chanic of the Galena and Chicago Union rail
road at this point, made a very narrow escape
from drowning last week. It appears that
she was being conveyed by a hired man to
Pecatonica. When they were within about
a mile and-a-half off that point they were
compelled to leave their carriage and take to
a boat, into which they stepped with two gen
tlemen, who were there waiting to be carried
over. They had rowed some distance, when
a dog, which was swimming alongside, put
his paws upon the side of the boat, upsetting
it and precipitating its occupants into about
ten feet of water. Two of the men swam
ashore. The other succeeded in reaching a
tree near by, up which he clambered. Mrs.
Barmingham, after sinking twice, was caught
by the man in the tree, and held until persons
from shore came to their relief, which was in
about three-quarters of an hour. The only
injury Mrs. B. sustained was the chafing of
her arms, in holding to the tree, and severe
cold. After the gentleman had secured his
footing in the tree, he found he had a neck
lace in the shape or a rattlesnake. lle suc
ceeded in releasing himself from his danger
ous companion without injury.
One of the gentlemen lost his wallet, con
taining over $lOO in money, besides valuable
papers.
