The Dead Sea.
The Dead Sea. in whose waters no itv
ing thing is found, is at present attracting
considerable attention in the United States.
in consequence oi nu expedition'gottcn up
by our government. tor' the purpose of ex
ploring it and the country around it.—
Lieut. Lynch. 0! the United States navy.
has chargi- o! the expedition. and was, at
the latest accounts, pursuing his mission
with courage and determination. and had.
so far, met with no insurmountable barri
ers to trighten him lroru the enterprise.
Christians have always rend the scriptul
ral story of the Dead Sea with the pro
loundest awe. and how: looked upon it as
one at the remnants of God's wrath, it?“
to warn them from tnlling into the excess
es which caused theOtnnipoteut Justice
to crush the people of those cities over
which this dreary and museum den of wa
ter rolls. t
According to the best authority. this
sea is fifty-five or titty-six mules long. and
about twenty miles wide. [ta water is
dark and unWholeeome. No habitation ia
discernable near its shores, and no man
or beast can survive the pestilential vapor:
that arise from its vilo and nauseous bo
som. Every thing around it. as weltas
itaell. bears the marks ot God’s wrath.—
I'he atmosphere about it is contageoue,
and will not admit 0! animal existence.—
Nu vegetation is ever found tor miles near
its ahorea ; all is dark, gloomy and titan
ted. the sight of which creates an unnatu
ral sensation in the breasts at all who twit
neas it.
On this identical npot, now covered by
(his huge sen. (here once fluurised popu
louc cities, fit to be the seals 0! govern
ment [or mighty empires. Surrounded
they were by valleys, hills nml plains,and
all about burn theimpress of nature’s boun'
leoua hand.
Christianity has endeavored to prove,
by occular demonstration. the proof of the
holy record which transmitted to us the
story ot this impenetrable enigma. But
those who have attempted its exploration
have not survived the undertaking. 'Miss
Martina-nu. in her writings, speaks of a
young lrishman who attempted tocxplore
it. but who. ere he succeeded, contracted
diseases the must fearful, and died ofthem
ingrent agony, in Jerusalem. She also
mentions a Lieutenant Molyneau, ot the
British navy. who, once undertook to ex
plore this sea. We copy the tollowing in
relation to him, as it reveals the underta
king which Liam-Lynch and our gallant
seamen have before them :
l'On theflOth ofAugust last, says a re
port which we notice in a late English lit
erary journal. Lieut. Molyneaux landed
lrom the Spaita, at Acre, and with three
volunteers. an interpreter, some camels
and their attendants. and the ship's din
gey. he proceeded on his journey. The
travelling was. on the whole, difficult, and
Tiberius on the lake of that name, about
eighteen miles in length, was reached the
next morning. The party embarked. cros
ed it. and made tho descent of the river
Jordan, which was accomplished with
moch dilliculty, the waters being shallow.
the stream tortuous and muddy. and much
interrupted by water falls and weirs of
stone. where immense quantities of fish
are taken. To these diflicultics impeding
the navigation, and olten compelling the
seamen to transport their heat over the
carry places, was added the strenuous op
position ol the native Sheiks. 'Lnrge sums
Were demanded of Lieut. Molyneaux for
[remission to pass ; trequent quarrelsloc
curred, and it: was only by occasional
threats on his part, and the appearance ol
a resort to arms. that' he lorced his way
along. '
