3nteroting ketch.
Within a short time'l'have stool upon the
giddy heights of Jefferson's Rock, et Harper's
Ferry. and looked at nature's rugged beauty so
well known in song and story, which one has
said was worth a voyage across the ocean to see.
I have stood upon the heights of Massenutton and
Blue Ridge mountains, the dividing walls of East-
ern s and Western Virginia, and "looked the land.
scialt." Looked into old Virginia and saw
thPhreeaftit. of the. great Shenandoah valley, with.
its bills, dale., rivers, towns and villages spread
out like a map before.me, bounded by the lofty
heights of the Western Alleghenies. Those were
gratifying scenes, but cannot compare With the
pleasure I have received from a visit to Weyer 's
Cave on the. 10th of April last. Believing that
what is gratifying to one, may give pleasure to
more, I have thought it worthy to have another
listener, beside my private journal.
• Weyer's Cave is situated in Virginia, en the
Augusta and Rockingham County the
Western bank of the South Branch of the She- 1
nandosh river—on the Western side of the Blue
Ridge, whose heights are plainly seen towering
heaveoward, and on the Eastern sidectf Cave Hill
—seventeen miles from Staunton, and-six from' the
Blue Ridge. : . . -
Mr. Mohler, brother to the guide, is the pres
ent owner of the Cave. The guide resides in a
very pleasant dwelling sheet five hundred Yards
from the mouth. After registering my name in a
ledger kept for that purpose, Mr. Abraham Mohler,
the guide,'his son, Mr. Null and myself started
(tom the house et eleven o'clock, A. M. We
wend. d our way up the river bank, having Cave
Hill on our right and the river on our left. The
appearance of Cgve Hill, es we approach does hot
indicate that it contains much of nature's won
ders within its bowels. It slopes rather abruptly
towards the east where the Cave is entered, and is
overgroWn with trees. the west it slopes
gently, and the greater-part is cultivated. ,
• As we paiseed along, we saw beneath a large
rock the entrance to Madison's Cave. This Cave
was discovered long before Weyer'e, end was the
-scene of attraction, until its more splendid rival
was brought to view. It is now but seldom visited.
There is also another Cave half a mile distant
from Weyer'sealled Wiest's Cave, after the own
er of the toad.. Wieses Cave is of still more
modern discovery than either of its neigbors, and
is said by some to match We'er's in dimensions
and beauty. It is now frequently visited.
About one hundred and fifty yards from Medi-
L eon's Cave,more in the body of the hill is the
en
trance:of eyer's Cave. • This entrance is at en
1 elevation of one hundred feet above the level of t
the road or valley beneath, and is ascendedby a
zigzag path of one hundred and twenty yards in
length, cut out for the purpose. The- entrance
is guarded by a pattnel door, which is 'generally
locked. At its first discovery the entrance was
serislr ; but the enterprise of the proprietor has
i done much to the convenient access of the Caie.
Here while we eeot ourilves upon a large stone
before the entrance, to find relief from the fatigue
I created in coming up the bill, and the guide un
locks the ;door end strikes a light, we will recount
the story itsktfirst discovery, as related by the
t affable and intelligent guide.,
In the Iyeer 1804, a person by the mune of Bar-
nerd Weyer ranged these bills. following ihe oc
cupation I d hunting. He set traps fur different
animals, especially the ground hog, Which species
was considerably--numerous on this hill. His-',
spurt, however, like everything else, was not with
out its reverses, forte repeatedly found that upon
looking toe his traps they were gone. He lost
Ins traps again and again, in a - singular mantle!,
until being greatly enraged, ho determined to have
recourse to the shovel and grubbing hoe, and make
an Assault upon the domicil of the depredator.:
He did No, andloand not only his traps, which
the grow d bog had Stowed away, but also one of
t rest at curiosities in Virginia or of America.
Since nit has been explored in all directidne
and visited by persons, of all ranks, stations and
SUM
Before I attempt to give a description of the
Cave, I would remark that, no men LUIS yet fully
desetibed the brilliancy of theeun. nor the glorious
magnificeece of a cloudlee etarlighteight,.nor the I
awful grandeur of the Fells of Niagara, but that
the imagination has had more or less to do in all'
descriptions of this nature to give us a correct
Lica of them. So it will be with any one ram at.
tempts to describe Weyer's Cave—langutige
We will now enter' the Cave, and-follow oho

the candles were lit and put into tin reflectingl
candlesticks, with a high hack to shade the eyes
from the light. Taking our candles in hand, we,
pass from the Ante-Chamber,' through a passage,
four feet wide and twenty long, in a gradual fit :
scent, into the Statuary room. Here are* large
number of concretions in the form of etatuee.;
from which it tales its name. Scientific met;
have divided those concretions into two classe4
' namely into atilegrnites and stalactititas. The one s
suspended from the ceiling is the stalactite', and'
the one from the peuiLing water dittlria'e
on the floor, and creating another aseendingly, Is -
!'called a stalagmite. • The "grand theory of the..
cave is that there is still carried on a continued
work of petrefaction, not only treat above bat alsei•
firm below. If we reach the hand to any ,crystal.
/par we will almost invariably; find it drop.of the•
petrel) ini water attached to it. This. dripping.
off, will form a concretion immediately. below; ,_
The reader may form an idea of the magnificence, -
of the cave, when he imagines thousands of those
~
transparent stalactites suspended from above,.
looking-like icicles_ hanging from the eves in win-- - -
ter, only more varied in size and tint. Let one
imagine the brilliancy, the glory of the =en* when
a body of light is introduced. In the statuary .
room the ceiling is beautiful. 'Here is also 'defog...
mite in shape of a Dragoon, and another like an ,
Altar. ' On the left:of the Statuary Room,. is
an opening of considerable beauty, callid the •
gallery. •,
Proceeding in a southern direction, through a. •
high and narrow passage tbizty-aix feet lobg and
down a descent of ten feet, by Cr. artificial etair
way, we Came to Solomon, Temple. which is
forty-five feet long and thirty broad. This is one
of the finest rooms.in theme. As you raise the
eye tom the botiom of the steps, it beholds S.
fair representation of Solomon's Throne,-beautifu I'
beyond description; formed of sperry incrusta
tions, decorated with drapery, and a white euihio
'at the end, imitating the seat. To the right of it
are th e beautiful Falls of Niagara. I will quote
the limed Pollock vas descriptive of it: ;', . i' '
"The cataract. that, like a slant wroth,

By sudden frost With alibis hoary locks, .

Beside the Fells of Niagara is a whim stalagmite
called Sam Patch, and or, the left of it is Solo?
coon's Pillar. \To the left of a pair of steps, is
Solomon's Meet House, as is indicated by a foie -
specimen of a ham of bacon hanging in it. - . 1 -
From the Teinple, up a flight of steps we came
to the Porter's Lodge, called so from the 146124.,

On the left side of the entrance . is n magnificent
representation of a pulpit 'covered with snow white '

etalagruitirs which form the wall end which,,if
pciunded against by tho fist, will emit a deep, ,
mellow sound similar to a bass draw. Upon 'a
close eramination, this apparent wall will be found
to be only 'a thin :,partition extending from the
ceiling to the floor; In this room ht a formation
similar to that which men imagine to, be the Hill ,

From the Drum Room we come to a place cal
led Patterson's Grave. This spoliation has been '
given to it from the following circumstance, which
happened about .twenty ;years ago. A French '
gentleman yieited this cave, acconlried only by „r-,--,
the guide — my present gUide, Mr. uhler. - They :-
had safely-gone through. and returning had reach-
i el the bill, now called Prenehmares' Hill, When
by,some mishap. both of -their lights were extin.' .-.
guished and they ;were left in total darkness, with:
out any means to light them again.' The guide,
I however, from his accurate knowledge of the
ceve, was enabled safety to con4uct him to the
entrance. Ai.other gentlemen by the name of.
Patterson, hearing of 1 the French Man's 'denten,
at,d envious of his Mccess, 'undertook to find his •
way without a light 'from the Vall ;Room. He
succeeded in getting up a declivity : but all it'
once his feet alipped,:and he wash thrown into an
aperture without any hope of getting farther.—;
Here he" lay unhurt until his companions who .
had gone in advance, became alarmed eV his bog •
absence, and returned for him. 'phe place of his
