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

In regard to the male portion, of the

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.

111c - WilsOnilhe'`ornitliologist: — Mould
We have found the Opening, we Were told
ho had discovered, wo would have spared
no labor to render it accessible, but we
were disaPpointeci.: One difficulty in bur
way was, the ignorance we wore under
,as to the division wheroXv W. had -ria
tided the opening. - Had this been known
wb might have recOgniied it—but our
searches were directed at random,' and
on that account., alone, perhaPs, wore
unfertnnate. All wo could perceive, was
a email round hole, near the, graucid, not
quite a foot in diameter, and two and
half fe4 deep, in the solid stone:
After a very attentive and ,anxious, in
vestigation, we quitted this compart
ment, which- is called, very_elegantly,
"the DoviVs.Dining Room," and pro
ceeded to the centre passage. 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

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 ROMANCE OF A COLORED
WAITER'S LIFE: 4
Year after year Robert Jackson has
been the secondwaiter at the Union and
the head waiter at Congress Hell, but the
careless crowds have not, known that
through his veins courses the, proudest .
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.

in power-most of the timo from 1800 to
1871. The record made by these parties,
within those periods, in the management
of the finances of the State, is a fair test
by which to try them,. The State debt
on the first of December, 1850, and on
the same date of the ton years following,
is given in the following table, compiled
from the annual reports of the Auditor
Genoral :
State debt Dec. 1, 1850, $40,775,485 42

It will be scon from this table that the
State debt remained above forty millions
yeais increasing and in others
decreating slowly—Louth- 1856, when the
Democratio ascendancy began to .be
shaken: The public works were sold in
4859, in tl l.BsB the Republicans carried the
House, in 1859 they carried both House
and Senate, and in 1860 they elected the
Governor and n majorty in both Houses.
During-these ten years the ruling
party had the benefit of the revenue
from the State tax on real and.,personal
estate, and the tax on tonnage on the
Pennsylvania Railroad. The revenue
from these two sources, during the de
cade referred to, Was as folloWs :
