■ Ifflt YET,"
A TALE founded on facts.
“ Not yet,” was heard spoken in a loud,
ouick lone of voice, succeeded by ihe report
o! a pisio!. emanating from the bottom: of u
dark, subterraneous vault, hitherto undisturb
ed bv sound from the commencehient of
time, except by the deep-toned, majestic
voice of thunder, as it pealed tt» awful anath
emas Irom the thick, heavy clouds, ns they
covered the mountains: This frightful abode
o' terror was situated on Cumberland moun
tain, near the 'foid 'pitssing ihrougW
me Crab Orchard and to Knoxville,
see Surprised at what 1 heard so unexpec
ted'v in that hideous wilderness, 1 checked
mi norse and listened with intense avidity,
to hear once more from that horrid dwelling
place of mysteries, before 1 could lake my
leave of this strange affair; and whilst thus
suspended as it were by hone, fear, and ago
ny, I heard, as I thought, a female voice ex
claim. “ Thank Heaven, I am safe.” My
curiosity was now excited beyond expression,
(marine first the voice of a man, then the
tout voice of death's instrument, and still
more, the soul-animalinp voice of a female,
al' conspired to excite mv most profound
sympathy and my greatest astonishment. I
could no longer refrain from dismounting nnd
rushtnc to the secluded aperture. After |
some minutes of breathless surprise, looking I
itirou'.'O me dark foliage of the thick pine
leaves, I discovered the bleeding form of a
man lying prostrate in Ihe lowest part of the
cave, with a pistol in one hand, nnd a dirk,
as \ r fallen from the other close bv his side,
Al* w'as still—death and silence reigned tri.
umpfiant -there. After manv attempts to
discover the parlies to I his strange affair, I
ventured still clos'er to Ihe victim of demon
passion, meditating upon the scene now dem
onitra'ted before? me. • Where were the - ac
tors of this bloody tragedy t lime seemed in

coniectures were all wrong, and for the safe
t' o im own person*! hurried away from I
me scene ol outrage and death. Many COD
tectures presented themselves during my even
me s ride, vot all ended in doubt and uncer
tain". A clue to the facts seemed covered
m impenetrable darkness. Alter traveling
twemv miles through a wild wilderness, see
mg no human being and hearing no human
voice, except theconslanl re-ileralton of “ nol
vc ’ “ inank heaven, 1 am safe,” which
rang as if spoken Irom the lops of Jhe itia
icsuc pines in every direction. My feelings
urangeiv according wilh ihe scene now sur
rounding me; the.winds howled hideously as
met passed ma by*—the. loud roaring of the
cataract s awful full, and ihe deep gathering
ciouus mat shut out the light of day, nil, all
kept mi heart awakened and my mind on ter
ror s vision ben 1 .. After a ride of a few hours,
lorninaielv reached the beautiful town of
1-. before the mantle of the night fell upon
hi! 1 had no sooner crossed the river and
gained admittance into a hoiel, than. I com
menced, by interrogatories, to seek for some
elucidation to the melancholy spectacle I had
mat evening witnessed. I asked the landlord
y there was any nows about town. He re
nlied that there tvusa great excitement perva
ding all ranks of society by the sudden dis,
appearance of two young men, ant} also, of a
voung lady ; all of whom had been raised in
me Place lie said Mr. McCloud and Miss
-'•ary L«awson had crossed ihe river for the
purpose of attending church some four or Five
miles distant, and in ihe evening Col, Van
kvKe followed in the same direction, and
nothing has since been heard from them.—
fte said McCloud bnd Van Dyke wore rivals
m.’ the hand of Miss Lawson “ McCloud, 3 ’
ne said M is very wealthy, and consequently
"s is usual in such cases, he is (he favorite of
Clary’s parenis. Yet Col. Van Dyke is the
tavonte of ihe young lady ; and knowing (he
parties as ,1 do, my apprehdnsiond are 'of'i
serious character.” '' ■
Before retiring to bed, I related the whole
•ccne I had witnessed to the hotel keeper;
and by the dawn of next day morning'some
fifty or sixty genlfimen'rods' tip'to the 1 hotel
and requested me to go with them bttektothe
mountain. There ‘was one difficulty’ -with
me; if the two tronsaClidhs Trad no eoonec*

one glimpse,of lhg prisoner as he entered the
court house. His own voluntary confessions
were read in evidence agfins; him by ibe
prosecuting counsel, and proofs of his rival
ry of McCloud, and other.circumstances wore
established. Then Miss Lawson was called
forward.to give testimony. She came lean
ing on her father's arm—her pale, Intelligent,
and interesting face, was modestly concealed
by a vail and bonnet. All eyes were fixed
upon her as an object of pity ap'd extreme
beauty., She came forward trembling with
fear and sensibility to give evidence against
her benefactor, her preserver and idol of her
heart. The tremor of her , voice, and the
gentle undulations of he bosom evinced by
the embarrassment of her mind, and the
peculiar delicacy of her position, had aroused
the sympathy of a crowded assembly. .Af
ter a Few moments of composure, she gave
the follow ing statement of facts : “ I was
decoyed off from.home, some months since,
by Mr. McQloud, we started to meeting, and
after riding some lime, I asked, him if we
were not lost. He said he believed so ; then
he said he knew where we were, and that we
had been lost, but we were now on the road
back to town. ' After much conversation, he
remarked, in an angry lone of voice, “ Well,
Mary, I clearly see under all, circumstances
you intend marrying Col. Van Dyke, and be
fore he shall thus trample over nriy exalted
claims, you and myself must fall victims to
your inflexible obstinacy.” So saying he
turned out horses out of the road, and we
had not proceeded far before lie dismounted
and hurried me from my saddle down - into it

j ‘ Another' Tact.-wbith transpired in a town
near Qartford, will serve to'illustrate the sa
gacity of rats; A' gqritleman 1 , whose house
was infested b'y IhetSe 1 verniih, made a jbur-
his family ‘to a distant city! and
fcarefujjy’ .tip everyihirtg in his house
during hia abs cn 'c’e. . At a considerable dist
ance from his, house, and beyond a 'small
intervening hill,,\y.ns_situated,a large factory.
Returning home after an abscnceof a week,
he reached his" residence at nightfall’. The
n?xl morning, at daybreak, he. went to the
factory above mentioned, There had been a
light fall of snow in (he night, anff before
reaching the factory he observed innumerable
sroall-Aracks of animals, leading in the direc
tion of ,his hpusq,, „ Tracing them further, he
found them-to proceed from the factory, and
to lead in a broad, trail, directly to his house,
They.-were.evidently the.footprints of rats,
and there .wane apparently upwards of a hun
dred of them. Now there had, previously
to-hls-absence, been.no rats in the factory ;
and-the inference was, that the. cunning fel
lows'hadwesorted to that locality during his
absence, as they coaid obtain nothing to cat
at tire house. But the question is,by what
gift of animal-cunning, or instinct, were they
apprised of’the return of the family, and

Tub Richmond Dispatch ajrys that Mr.
Elliott-having made arrangements fora bal

upon by a young man named Carrier to
make a brief ascent held by cords. Carrier
having got into the car, soon rose above the

sailed off rapidly tpwards the sky. , The
