We will deliver any of tbe above Lumber at any At a depth of thirty feet below this they found a worn pavement, and twenty-four feet below that again a still more ancient pavement - This “Robinson’s Arch” is the remains of the bridge that was standing at the siege of Jerusalem, where we can im agine the Roman General Titus nt one end holding a parley with the beleag uered Jews at the other. The older bridge beneath this doubtless belongs to the days of Solomon, and was there fore the one other which the Queen of Sheba passed to the royal preseuce. These discoveries make plain many a point that had hitherto been deem ed fabulous or exaggerated in historic pages; as, for instance, where Jose phus says, in speaking of the walls ot Jerusalem: “If any one looked down from the top of the battlements he would be giddy, while his sight could uot reach to such an immense depth.” But explorations have proved that walls were actually built along the declivity, on the summit of which stood the temple, extending from 1U0 to 150 feet lower than the surlace 011 which the building stood. Still 100 feet below this was the bed of the brook Kedron, which flow ed at the foot of the declivity. The surface on which stood the temple was therefore 250 feet above the deep defiles around. If now we plant upon this upper surface the glorious tem ple itself ascending story above story, tower above tower, to the height of some one hundred and fifty feet, only imagine what a spectacle must have burst upon any one approaching Mount Moriah from the Mount of Olives op posite—such a sight as the Saviour himself witnessed—with this grand artificial mountain towering before him from the depths below, a huge al titude of rock, wall, column, towers, and pinnacles culminating in the gor geous temple on the summit, and reaching an aggregate height of not less Ilian 500 or 000 feet—three times the height of Trinity spire. Space will not permit an enumeration of the many important discoveries that have been made and the conflicting ques tions that have been permanently set at rest by the labors of this society since its formation. A Voice from South Carolina. “Fit* Hugh St. Clair, Tbe South Carolina Rohel Boy,or It is no sin to be born a gentleman.’’—By Mrs. Salliz F. ChspiS; Charleston, S. C.—t lax- ton, Remseti ii, Ilaffeltinger Publishers,Philadelphia. This touching little book has come to us like a fresh pure draught from tbe fountain of Patriotism ; a patriot ism broad and deep, winch seeks to embrace the entire nation, only asking as its basis the practice of the “golden rule.” Notwithstanding the name would imply the contrary, the author displays little of that spirit of “States RightsJ’so condemned by Partou and other impartial (?) writers. That she should feel and write strongly concerning the destruction ot Southern homes, cannot excite won der, we think, even in the North. “Facts are stubborn things,” she says, and she simply states facts. Tbe motive power of the book is inspiring. We love to find a book these days which has an object higher than that of “making money,” and the mission of this—Keeping the mem ory ot our soldier dead pure and un sullied, for their sons and daughters, is truly noble; worthy of a woman’s heart, well fitted to a woman’s pen. These are the author’s own eloquent words. “Boys! Soldiers’ sons! My whole heart goes out to you and for you, and I am writing this book, God knows, for no other purpose than to show my love for you. I want you to be worthy of your brave fathers, and never permit any one in yout presence to say, “they were the per petrators of unnatural and monstrous crimes.” or that “they fill dishonored graves.” For, be it known that there are those in the North, who never having “had the heart” to praise the sword in “Ira- tricidal war,” now wield the pen in the effort to cover with disgrace and infamy the names of our fallen, con quered heroes, (but heroes still! ) to whom even their own brave northern men delight to give honor. But besides this, she touches upon the key note which thrills the heart of the nation. “Man’s Rights !” We hear much of “Woman’s Rights” more properly “woman's wrongs.” 'Phis true hearted 8 uithern woman has found the “open sesame” to the whole mystery when she tells our boys what they have a right to beffin spite of cus tom, noble, self-reliant, virtuous and brave. Read it Doys ! and you will be no longer ashamed to wear an old coat, and to do work on your widow ed mother’s farm. Wait quietly, LO.YG BRANCH. Tie Sterna of Tburjultijr M^ht on the Sen and Isnnd. Long Branch, August 23, 1872. The storm which broke over this place last evening was one of the most severe that has visited the Branch for years, though the amount of property destroyed has not been very great The intense heat of the day indicated that there was something unusual with the atmosphere, the suffering guests at t!.e various hotels pronouncing the heat to be something unprecedented in the history of watering places The ladies, young and old, were clad in the thinnest of dresses; but the sun poured its scorching rays down upon their forms, and gauze was found to be no protection against the burning weath er, the perspirationpenetratingthrough corset and muslin. When the last train from New York had arrived and deposited its crowd of passengers, the unusual appearance of the atmosphere attracted general at tention. f he fleecy clouds which had hovered in the heavens during the day, were suddenly disappearing, and in their stead dark masses began to fill the horizon. The bathers, who had been revelling in the surf all through the afternoon, became alarm ed and hurriedly emerged from the water, chased by the rapidly rising waves. The schooners and pleasure boats which were near the land made for the shore, and disembarked the groups of frightened ladies, who could not be reassured by the assertions of the gentleman that it was all a trifle, the appearance of th© gallants, who were white and trembling, conveying a far different impression. For about half an hour after the first indications of the storm were visi ble the elements preserved an omin ous sileuce, but a sudden squall of wind which came up from the sea, ex tinguishing the lights along the beach and in many of the hotels, warned all that the god of the winds and waves was abroad in all his majesty. The roars of the waves became louder and louder and their crested tops could be seen from the balconies of hotels dashing in angry fury upon the shore. Darkness came rapidly on, ami in a few minutes the heavens were black j as night, the'wind came sweeping I along in great gusts, w hile the roar of j the breakers could be heard for miles away. Every street fight at the j Branch had by this time become ex- j tingushed, the carriages which had | been caught in the storm dashing j madly through the darkness, the • horses shaking and shivering with ' terror. What few pedestrians were out rapidly got to a place of shelter, i everything that was likely to be ; blown down was made as fast as pos- 1 s’ble and the hotel windows were firmly closed down. A number of adventurous spirits at i the West End would not go within ! doors, but sat under tbe veranda, ; though it) danger of b*-ingswept away, j to contemplate the war of the ele- j merits. The ladies clustered in groups j in the parlors, clinging in terror, real or feigned, to the arms of the gentle men, who, nothing loath, assumed the responsibility, their faces beaming with manly courage and chivalry. The wind had all this time continu- ! ed to rise, accompanied by vivid flash es ol lightning, which for a secoud lit up the sombre atmosphere, revealing the tumultuous sea, upon which, far out, a few sterm-tossed schooners could be seen, bravely battling against the blinding hurricane. At times the, lightning was so vivid that a specta- j tor would be momentarily blinded by the brilliancy of the flash, while tha terrified screams of the ladies would tend to increasa the general confusion. The lighting was for a time unaccom panied by thunder, but at length a terrific peal was heard, which shook the foundations of the hotels, startling the few invalids from their beds, in the wildest state of dishabille. There had not up to this been a drop of rain, but a few pattering drops could now be heard on th© veranda, and a feeling of thankfulness sprang up that the lury of the storm was about to be stilled, and that the terrible heat of the night would be somewhat moderated. In a short time the cooling element was pourinj down in torrents, but without much effect upon the wind, which con- 1 tinued to rage with unabated force j and vehemence. Many ot trie hotels | were plunged in total darkness, and | every effort to keep the lights burning \ proved abortive, the sudden squalls ! extinguishing them as fast as they ! were lighted. In the spacious parlors of the West End the white-robed divinities clus tered more closely together, and a number of the gentlemen took refuge and beautiful; the agitation of the pre | broken or wholly blown down, ceding night had been completely put i Mr. Jesse Bradley had a chimney de- to rest, and nature rarely presented a i molished and sad havoo mane among more beautiful appearance. As if in , his young fruit trees, mockery of the storm the sea was j In Westport the storm king held without a ripple, and the strand and | carnival, and memory of him will long exist. At the rear of Mr. F. H. Nash’s barn the largpst apple tree in town yielded to the force of the wind, and, with its burden of fruit, kissed the ground. Maple trees especially were victims of the wind’s power, and were most unmercifully dealt with. Cap tain Frederick Jarvis lost half a dozen apple trees, and Mr. Frank Raymond, close by, as many more, besides dam age to bis farm buildings. In many places fences of stone were thrown from their foundations. In Norwalk great damage resulted. The noble elm trees in St. Paul’s (Epis copal) churchyard succumbed in more than one instance. Opposite, in the yard of Mrs James Moody Hoyt, the eye was pained to see noble specimens of fancy and expensive trees laid low. Rev. S. B. S. Bissell suffered by loss of trees, and Colonel F. 8t. John Lock- wood, President of the First National Bank, has reason to remember the ter rible visitation. At the foot of Mill Hill a great wil low tree gave way, and in its fall de molished a chimney in Mr. J. A. Ho- necker’s bakery, besides sending a heavy skylight across the street fifty feet distant. The ^Norwalk Hotel people looked from their windows, and beholding trees and branches flying on every hand, thought their fancied place of safety very unsafe. Close by the Meth odist Episcopal church a willow tree came down with a rush, smashing tilings in its course, but, fortunately, striking no persou. All along the route between Nor walk and this city people are this morning engaged in removing debris in the shape of broken limbs, and throughout the city there is scarcely a dooryard that cannot tell a story of j one or mure of its favorite trees mini- j hilated. At this writing it is impos- | sibl The Radicals of New York have nominated Gen. Dix for Governor. Governor Vance, of North Carolina, declines the nomination for Elector on the Greeley ticket. Greeley is to deliver three agricul tural addresses during the coming few weeks. Sentiments of friendship which flow from the heart, cannot be frozen by adversity. Nashville, August 2!.—Ex-Sena tor Fowler was nominated as a Liber al elector. It is stated that Simon Cameron has contributed $1,000,000 to a corruption fund of $5,000,000, to be raised and used in Pennsylvania. Tbe Westfield (Miss.) News Letter believes that if Sumner is nominated tor Governor, Massachusetts can be carried for Greeley. The Philadephia State Labor Re form Convention held a secret session. It is understood to favor O’Conor and Saulsbury for President and Vice- President, and will seud deleg tes to Louisvili.e When six hundred straight Repub licans in Blaine’s district sign a call for a Greeley Convention to elect Blaine’s successor, the great speaker has a better “reply” than even Sum ner could make. He must feel like a Chilblain. The Administration papers state that the campaign in Iowa is growing warm. The stampede of the Repub licans to Greeley in that State is so great that there is a possibility of wi ping outGr ant’s majority of 40,1)00 in 1868 ! A young merchant who is try ing to struggle along in a falsely eco nomical way, took a class in one of the Sunday Schools last Sabbath.

Let us have peace, prosperity, justice and equity once more. You can do it; every other hope has failed us; we turn to you in the last extremity.” A correspondent of the Chicago Tribuue has been prowling around among Brigham Young’s wives, and is able to give a little descriptive sketch, ot all but five, whom he did not suc ceed in finding. He classifies them as one first and legal wife, fourteen po- lygmatic wives, four proxy wives, and six not classified, with five more that he did not discover. He is supposed to be hunting for those missing wives, and there is no doubt that he will find them. sailors declared that no small craft could live through such a terrihc gale, and that many of the fishing boats, which were some miles fioin land, must inevitably perish, and as very few have come in this morning the in ference is probably correct. Those who have reached land have done so with sails out aud rigging gone. By teu o’clock the storm began to moderate, the wind went down, and the flashes of lightning became less incessant, the tremeudous rain which kept pouring steadily down having greatly lessened the fury of the hurricane and abated its power. All through the night, however, the heavens were more or less agitated, the roar of the breakers continued, va ried with occasioual peals of thunder. I11 many of th© hotels and cottages the more timid did not retire to rest, bu; tne sensible people did, and, as the night was deliciously cool after the storm, slept souudly. This morning the sun rose bright lawns in front only looked all the more charming, and the only evidence of the wind which could be seen was in the roads, which are somewhat torn up, and the bathing boxes, which are greatly shattered. The damage to vessels at sea has not been so great as was at first supposed; the missing boats are rapidly coming in, with the loss of most of their working gear. The colored population are partic ularly vexed at the storm, Ali pre parations had been made for the ova tion to Massa Grant; a platform had been erected, eminent speakers secur ed, a brass band had arrived from Philadelphia and a jolly time was an ticipated, when the storm came on and completely spoiled the fun. The wrath of the waiters was great and nearly approached to profanity, while the colored girls, who were glorious in white dresses and yellow sashes, re fused to be comforted. Garnet, of Shiloh church and Cooper Institute fame, was promised for tbe occasion; a big talk was expected from Isaiah Weir, of Philadelphia; Senator Wilson was expected to give sage advice, and even from the President something was expected, and though the affair may eventually come off, the ardor of its projectors has greatly cooled, and it will probably end in a fizzle. Tbe closing days races ot the year will be held at Monmouth Park on Thursday, the 29th, and John Cham berlain predicts the best sport and the mo6t brilliant attendance of the season. The first race will be a con test of four mile heats, for a purse of S2.500, presented by the hotels at the Branch; second horse to receive S500; third horse, $250. The following are th© entries:—Coffin’s Moriacchi, Mc Daniel’s Abdel Koree, H. Sanford’s Monarchist, John Chamberlain’s Wheatley, D. S. Banuatyne’s Milesian, Babcock’s Doctor, Mooie’s Foster! and A. Welch’s Lyttieton. The second race will he a grand three mile national steeplechase for a purse of SI,000. The following fa inous horses are entered:—Blind Tom, Lochiel, Duliy. Astronomer, Vesuvius, Impecunious, Denis Burns, Asteroid and Tammany. Second horse to re ceive $200; third $100. Two grand balls are to be given the same evening at the West End arid Ocean Hotels, and a splendid finish will be given to the racing season. In view ot the forthcoming fall elec tions a large number of prominent politicians are departing for their States, leaving their wives behind them. The crowd of visitors is as great as ever, and will probably con tinue so fora month to come. TBRB1BI.K TORNADO.
