Perilous Adventure
Another Ascknt or tub Natural Bbidok.
Col. James Piper, of Virginia, immortalized
Ilia name by the very perilous adventure of as
tending the Natural Bridge, in that Slate, and
inscribing his name upon the rocks. Another
individual, it appears hafi been equally adven
tu roils and foolhardy. A Air. Shaver, on the
120th of July, made a similar descent, which id
described by an $ye witness:
"After going perpendicularly about thirty
feet, ho came to a clump of bushes, w here he
rented a little, and proceeded on to another ledge
protruding a little from the main body of the
rock; thence directly up the steep and rugged
ridgs lying between the deep ravinea on each
aide of the cedar etump, until he came to the
bench, where I first mw him. While upon
that bench, which ia about forty feet from the
top, Mr. Shaver inscribed his name in very &
gible characters which may be seen by any one
from the lop of the Bridge, lie then advanced
up the stream, along the very edge of the aw
ful precipice that overhangs the ravine, until he
came around on the opposite tide ofthe stuinp
from whence he started. He then came to the
last ascent ol any danger, and it was truly aw
ful to aee a man attempting tn climb an over
hanging c.lifl at the distance of one hundred and
eiy lily feet from the bottom of the dreadful abyss
tiiat yawned beneath him. WMIe in ascending,
h o hick was in tome measure downward, and
he had moreover frequently to remove hiose
vonea, in order to secure a hold for his bind.
In making Ihe firot ctlort either Ins atrength or
resolution failed him, and he returned to the
bench and rested. My feelings at thif. moment
wcro truly indescribable. To aee a fellow be
imr noised, aa it were, between heaven and
earth, with barely a possibility of ascent or de
accrit, clinging to the precariom shrubbery on
the side of a lofty precipice, at the base of which
I expected every moment to tee him dashed to
atonw, produced a sensation I cannot describe.
Some ofthe more cuutious and prudent of the
company proposed sending for ropea by which
to draw him up, which was hardly possible un
der the circumstance, as perhaps none of u
had courago sulficieut tJ venture down the ra
vine far enough to aee him on the ido where
he then wns. Neverthtletis, after divesting

this war against Gen. Cameron, is nothing more
or less than a war upon the present tariff, and
the people should know it. We want no strong
er proof of this, than the fact that the papers
