LETTER FROM CARLISLE. .. - • [Tho following letter, gives an inter esting description of overland ,journey from Baltimore to Carlisle, sixty years ago, as well as an account of a visit to some of the neighboring_points of inter-_ est, and will, no doubt, be carefully pe rused. The letter is taken from the Portfolio, handed us by our young friend, B. T. Bellman, of this place:—Ed.] AUGUST —, 1811. I arrived at this place on Tuesday lest, after having, for near four hours, been jolted over the worst mull everluld 06. caaion to travel. I took the stngo from Baltimore on Monday morning, and slept that night at Hanover. The next day WO reached the springs, where we stopped for about an hour, to.change the mail, and then probeeded on our way. he road between the springs and Carlisle, in point of roughness and gen eral irregularity, is among—the- most Unpleasant in the United States. My weakness prevented me' from resorting to my feet, for safety and relaxation, until .we commenced the ascent of the South Mountain ; but here, the vie* of the road - before me, so entirply dissipated my reluctance to quit the stage, that I descended, and crossed the mountain (a distance of three miles) on foot, ' After leaving ~the valley, we entered upon a very romantic path, bounded, on ono side, by a small stream, and winding, for some distance, round the base of a very high hill, remarkable for presenting to t o eye, a pile of loose . and broken stones, the greater part of which are not bigger than a hat, and to me much smaller. They call it the " Devil's Race .Ground." This object afforded a spec tacle so truly curious, that our attention .was immediately arrested, and we ex amined the soil and the species of the stone. The earth is' everywhere loose and sandy, and the rock is entirely of very soft limestone: There are a few trees and bushes at tho:summit, and ono or two small oaks-ag.ar the bottom, but otherwise, it iOirins,' , of overrapecies of vegetation.' Tiats,narelty' of its appear andb induceesOne of tho company to exercise their , :ingenuity; in framing theories for'explainifig the cause ,that loosed the and, bYproOlpitating them down the'side:of the hill; gave to the surface, so roniarkable a' regularity of elevation. The following, given half in jest, half seriously,. by a young gentle man who did not seem 'deficionyinin telloctLappeared to be tlic_mosturoli' . 4lJl°-: Ho assumed, that formerly, at the top of the hill, there had been a number of very large rocks, , which, by - some sudden and violent convulsion, either volcanic or atmospheric, were torn from their beds, and scattered in all directions toward the base. At first, wo all laughed at the notion, but on reflection, and narrower inspection, I was convinced that the idea was by uo means improbable r -for the stone is of a peculiarly soft teXturo, and may . be/broken with a very slight blow. After passing this curiosity, we found tho.road, comparatively good, and the remainder of the journey was performed with some degree . of bodily ease and comfort. We caught sight of Carlisle-a little before sun-set, so that the first view - lost none of its attractions from being ob scured by the gloom of evening. The contrast between the. country through which we had passed; and the Eden,like region we now approached, gavilit charm to the scene, of . a novel and truly fascinating order. During tlio whole day, We bad been rattling in au uneasy vehicle, over an uneven, and, in many other respects, unpleasant road, only hero and there, deversified by a glimpse of romantic, though never ex tensive scenery—winding over hills, the monotony of whose succession, added to their sterility, was an unsuperable ob stacle to the reception of delight, from the scanty prospects which they at inter-. vals afforded—but after passing the last hill which intervened — b - 61;Wolfri ns , mid the town, our eyes' Were permitted to roam over ono of the most delightful extents of country, that fancy Over gave to the rapt vision'of tho rural enthusiast. _ Carlisle is situated .a valley, four teen miles in breadth; equally remark able for fertility of soil and beauty of natural arrangement., Its site is perfectly level, so that nothing interferes to pre vent an almost entire view of its vaftens' charms. As far as otir eye could reach, they encounter.ed objects of interest and Pleasure. The driver pointed Out the College, the court house, • and the 'Or racks—the rest Of the 'headings IM'd Confused apPearance, Pecang 'here and. there through,the ,trees ; but' .oven this Very Confusion Was not unasSociated With pleasing sensations. Wo saw, as it wore, the farmer and the 'mein:int' in unison ; the plough, joined iu intimate connexion with. the emblems and 'materials of trade —it flourishing town in thO midst, of, and. Mingling in' undistinguishahle associa tion, with #oldi : anci forests of extended nud:,luauirinnt foliage.

Our curiosity was excited to witnese, the "town' in ,the aggregate ; and, to do this , with' satisfaction, We thought there was no 'bettor Plate than the public marketfor the "country,". as well! as the " townlelk's ; ' are liete always lissom hied, .and, 'Of Coarse, W0 .

In regard to the male portion, of the population, there is nothing remarkable in their ,persons---some aro lii, (Amp well-looking, perhaps, there is a slight - majority set thaltat=blass.. • After this amusement, which I have the vanitylo think was equally rational and amusing, I proceeded to present MY letters. Mr. * * * * received rrie. with all the. hospitality I had expected, arid, during my stay, has treated me with marked and- assiduous-attention. -- His politeness- entitles him to my kindest esteem and remembrance. He mentioned the different.. parts Of tho 4 town and environs, which strangers usually visit, and offered, if we pleased, to. ho obe guide to them. 1‘ In the course of the day, we visited the court house, the jail, and tho college. As neither of the two first of these build ings have any thing about themor within them romaricable, being very plain, and rather in the Dutch Style of architecture, I will not trouble you with a description of them, but will call yon.rregards to the third. The college is a lark% unfinished building, whiCh, though externally, it presents a handsome and proportioned appearance, in its interior id both planned and constrdcted defectively. Through the influence of the gentleman Who ac companied us, we obtained access to the chemical room, and examined the col lection of mathematical and philosophi al—instrunfinitseptmg a good electrifying machine, and the necessary accompanying articles, it is very incom plete. Judge Cooper is, however, Shortly expected here, with his apparatus, which, lam informed, is the best in America. They have a small air pump also, that appears, to be a good one, although as appearance was almost the only criterion by which I formed my opinion, I should be careful of pronouncing positively. The key of the library could not be pro cured, and I was prevented from seeing this part of the establishment, and al though, other opportunities offered for the satisfaCtion of any desire, I neglected to avail' myself of them, and shall be obliged to quit the place without seeing the tnost. valuable . appurtenance to the institution. In regard to the laws of the college, I did not make many inquiries. • Ono use ful regulation prohibits the students from boarding at taverns. Before the onac-• stAtite, the privilego — giirifir to the young men, of choosing any domicile they pleased, was the parent of many disreputable irregularities ; but since they have been restricted to private boarding houses, licentiousness has gradually diminished, and now, no scope exists for indulgence -in capricious and Inordinate propensities: The next morning, notwithstanding the fatigues of the preceding day, we quitted our beds at an early hour, for the purpose of examining the cave. Wo loft the town nearly in a northwest di-. motion, and took the barracks iu our course. These buildings are of brick,' and sufficiently large, to lodge a consider, ablo'forco. They aro old, and, at pres ent, very much dilapidatN, particularly such as are not inhabited ; two are, hoW ever, tenanted, and these had some in dicta of comfort in. their appearance. Leaving the barracks, we crossed two or three fields, and at length reached the banks of the Conodoguinet. This. creek is distant from Carlisle, one mile and a quarter. Them is a house at tho place whore the road terminates,,mt which we procured fire for our candles, and then, torckin hand, marched.towardsthe cave. After clambering over a rock, which juts from the steep bank into the creek, with some inconvenience and danger to our shins; wo reached the object of our excursion.. As a necessary precatition, wo then sat down to rest and cool our selveS, before wo ventured into its damp and chilly atmosphere. The opening of the cavern is in a perpendicular limestone_ rock, of about twenty feet , in height, and hue, itself, seven feet of elevation. It is nearly semi -circular, and this, joined to the smooth surface of the rock, givesA a singular and striking appear ance. From the turn, of the arch we were led, on first looking at it, to think that art had contributed somewhat to its regularity. It approached,' so'closely; to: mcircular arc, that.althaugh no vestiges of: chisseling were' perceivable,, except some trilling ones of a late 'date, .we wore strongly impressed with. this idea. And, indeed, it is, in some measure, corroborated, by the smoothness of the roof, which ; for'soino little extent, though itTegulhr, 'is :not jagged , ; but ,wherever, there is a projection or a chasm, its edges' aro generally even. Tho shores of the creek and the stirronnding.soenery aro roniantic, 'and a foot -bridge, 'thrown over the little above the place where We sat, With tome Infildings, prettily situated, .ma l tle the view, though coiniivail, dory interest ug: tlonietbing ? suh,,m,tylis' Contributed by the ..Mountains bound , the prospect.

This is very narrow, and, in direction, somewhat similar to a winding stair. The ascent. 'is steep and irregular, and, after a tedi ous and ineffectual endeavor to ascer tain its precise extent, wo desisted .from pursuing it. It is inaccessible after pro ceeding little better than nine yards; and ends in a perpendicular excavation, the height of which we wore, without the means of determining. The left hand passage nail claimedour attention. At firs view, 1 seems o ex tend not farther than three' or four feet,• but it takes a sudden turn to the Tight, and would measure, in length, near thirty yards, With sufficient breadth and height. to enable a boy to creep along it ; but. after this, it becomes so narrow as not to be penetrable, except by very diminu- . tivo animals. The floor of this passage, owing to the rain which had fallen for twozr three days before, was entirely covered with mud and water, to the depth k from one to five inches, so that we had,, by no means, a cleanly appear ance, on issuing from it. About seven feet from the entrance of this minor excavation, there arc - five or six little pools of water in the rock, formed by drippings from its roof and sides, and which. are sufficiently large to contain a quart, and a little better, each. I had the curiosity to taste this water, and found it not unpleasant ; , filtration Seemed to. have deprived, it,of any bad taste-it m'ay 'save - originally - had—Many in Carlisle, are ignorant enough to think that there are seven sprtn:qs here, and a number of curious tales wore told me 'of the water they contained. The slightest observation is sufficient to show, tha they are but stagnant pools of water, only full during wet weather, and, when not . replenished with rain, sinking through the small fissures of the stone, and remaining dryy. As it would require a long spell.of dry weather to effect this dessication, the vulgar find some counte nance to their conjectures in the holes being almost always full. At the farthest extremity of this branch, I found, on a *rail ' projection, three bones, Ono seethed to be a piece of the thigh bone, and the others of the vertebite, but , whether of a brute or human being, my knowledge of anatomy was insufficient to the •determination. The ledge, on which these bones were lying, was ten inches from the floor,and extended in length about four feet. There appeared to be a cavity between th&ledgo -and the ceiling, six inches in width; but I was unable to thrust my arm farther in than to the elbow, thOugh it seemed to be rather deeper. Having now given a viwy close examina tion to every accessible compartment of the cave, and , fully satisifed ourselves, that no penetrable outlet would -have been 'discovered had our search con tinued for years—we made our exit, after having been deprived of the light of the sun for two hours and more. The change of temperature was so sudden and so great, that most of us dreaded the elfects of our excursion would terminate in troublesome colds—but fortunately all escaped. In company the next day, our: con- vcrsation, at one time, took a turn to wardthe place we had visited' iirthe morning. One gentleman told us, an opinion very generally prevailed, that forme.rly, the Indians had made , it • a place , of temporary deposit for their spoils of war, end, sometimes, a kind of sanctuary for personal concealment, : Many too, he observed, thought it.inight once have been used for the sepulture of warriors who had died in battle. ) This idea, he reinarlced, was strengthened by the discovery, some years baelc,,of skele tons and scattered bones of human be':, lugs, iu various parts'of the cavern. Ho did not; however,• remember overlaying: nowany weapons, ormaineof military habiliments, to lindi ate that : there;had d „. been any thing eitler sacred or honorary „attached to burial there. : And, nude v) pendently of this-- ant of essential, eir cumstances to corroborate the supposi tion; the, : appearance and structure of the cave militates against it. ' The , In. dians would not be likely to turn a place . of the hind into a ticeptaelo for the de, ceased warriors of their tribes, (whose , funerals were always accompanied with considerable, though rude .pageant,ry) Witheitt-attempting to besto* on it, an air of artificial grandeur, or sculptures, 'or similar ornaments. But , my appear ance of there haying over existed rn4g„, Mamie of this kind, is at present ; Mho perceived,: so that the notion 'seems, en-, tholy unfiiiinded.

TILE LINCOLN MONUMENT. A correspondent of the Boston Adver tiser Writes from Springfibld, Illinois, August 7 : The monument now being raised to the memory of Abraham Lin coln is the chief object of interest here. The sight of the monument is a high natural mound, with gentle slopes, and handing at a goodly distance from the main cemetery on the side nearest the main entrance. The architectural part of the monument, which is now nearly completed, • has boon done by W. D. of solid - base built of the best of Quincy. granite. This is 31 foot in height, and 17 feet square, 16 feet of the height be ing below the surface. It is surrounded • by a terrace 74 feet square. On this base stands the monument proper, or obelisk rather, which is also of 'Quincy granite. Its height is 85 feet, it is 12 feet square at the base, tapering to -8 -feet squaro•at the apex. The shaft presents an imposing ap'- pear:lnce, its very simplicity giving it a characteristic grandeur not, to be seen in more ornamental shafts. It has a cir cular opening from base to apex, which yOu..can-ascoud by a•circular iron stair way. Near the apex a good view of th'e surrounding country is affoided.through windows cut in the side of the shaft. On ono side there is a semicircular prii jection of the mason work, of even height: with the terrace, entered 'by a door on a level with the grous.. is called the 'catacomb, and has six Crypts—one for the remains of Lincoln, and five for the members of his family. Opposite the catacomkon the south side of the base of the monument, is anotlier projection, •also of granite, inside of which is a room bearing the appropriate name of " Memorial Hall," it being in tended for articles which May in any way be regarded as souvenirs of the lamented President. ; Prom the terrace to the ground arc four flights of stops made of solid granite, but the terrace, catacomb and Memorial Hall arc all covered With large slabs of a superior quality of lime stone, the exterior walls of each being of solid granite. Over a door on the south Side of the obelisk is to be placed "the 'coat of arms of the United States" in bronze, and on the projection whore the door is to be placed; is to stand a bronae statue of Mr.' Lincoln facing ''to' the South. ". ' On the terrace will' Ibe placed' four groups of statuary id bronke, represent-. big the infantry, artillery and navy of the United States—ono op'posit'e' each face of the obelisk. The architectural Part of tile menuinent will cost $136,550.' The stattuir'y is to hi:3th° work of Larkin G. lllead, the famoim Vermont sculptor. The statue 'of Lincoln has already I heen Modelled in plaster, and is'to be cast front' cannon captered during the late' War. - Mr. 16 load now at work hataly'epon the. coat of arins„ and as' soon 'fa the model is completed it will - h© Shipped to this country to cast ii the eaino'maiii nor as the , Statue of.thMeln.

Virginian blood., Robert is a small, well-mado quadroon, fashioned, perhaps, in about the same mould as Stephen A. Douglas, for his head closely resembles that of the, Little Giant. Ms grand father was General Harry Lee, of revolo tionaryliglit_horse cavalrylfame, and_his_ mother was a — slave woman named Jenny; a maid of Mrs. Leo. Soonnfter the birth of William Jackson, the head :waiter's ,father, Jenny was sold to Colonel Stew art,'"of Frederick county, Maryland. The boy William showed -extraordinary in telligence and became a pet of his master, and on the death of Colonel Stewart found-himself free, by a clause in the will. William Went immediately to Washington, whore he had been, many times with his master. There he met .jobn McLean, Postmaster General under Martin Van Btireri, and a friend of his old .master. • Judge McLean appointed him a messenger in the Post office De partment, at a salary of $6OO per annum.
