? VOLCANOES.
Iu another column will be found some
account extracted from a Tennessee paper
of the continuing excitement in Western
North Carolina over phenomena remnant
ed with Bald Mountain in that region.
We cannot, after collating all the testi
mony the newspapers afford us, expect
with any groat degree of confidence, the
appearance of a volcano there. From the
geological character of that region, and
other circumstances, a volcano cannot be
accounted an improbability; but so far,
the statements touching the matter are
somewhat incongruous. We shall know
the truth ere long.
It is not new to geological history for
volcanoes to appear in localities entirely
unexpected, so far as written records or
tradition takes cognizance of them. We
recall to memory two such instances. In
the year of our Lord 63, an earthquake
in Southern Italy damaged many cities
and resulted in. or was accompanied by,
volcanie disturbances of Mt. 4 esuvius,
which neither history nor tradition ac
counted volcanic before. Sixteen years
later (A. D. 70) occurred the dreadful
eruption of Vesuvius which buried the
cities of Herculaneum, Pompeii and Sta
hire, and in which the elder Pliny per
ished. Eruptions followed, the most im
portant of which were in the years 203,
472. 512 and 093. In the year 1036 the
first discharge of liquid lava occurred—
all of the matter of the previous eruptions
having consisted of stones, ashes or voB
canic sand mingled with fragments of
older lava. Since that’time a great num
ber of eruptions of molten lava have oc
curred, among which those are chiefly
noted which took place in the year’s 1 < 79,
1793. 1834, 1838, 1847 and 1850.
The other instance we shall mention is
that of Orizaba, in Mexico, a majestic
peak whose summit is 17,380 feet above
the level of the sea. Although lying in
the torid zone, its summit is covered with
perpetual snow, and supplies the neighs
boring cities with ice which is transport
ed thence for daily consumption. We have
often gazed on this mighty peak, glitter
ing like a diamond under a vertical sun.
In the year 1545, very soon after the
Spanish Conquest, this mountain became
actively volcanic, and so continued for
twenty years. In 1565 its volcanic dis
turbances subsided, and it resumed the
mantle of perpetual snow, which it has
worn ever since, having been as quiet and
well-behaved since that year as any im-
volcauic and peaceful mountain could
possibly be. It will therefore be seen
that our North Carolinian neighbor has
ample precedents to justify his assump
tion of volcanic majesty at this late day.
And il'he should only mutter andgrowl, or
throw up some sand and ashes, for a
thousand years or so before disporting
himself with ‘‘burning lava.' lie can plead
Vesuvius as his exemplar. W. G. M.
JEAN IXGELOW.
In 1863 appeared in London a small
volume of poems entitled simply “Poems
by Jean Ingelow.” It attracted much at
tention at once in high quarters. Many
a volume more pretentious had dropped
unknown into the fathomless gulf of lit
entry obscurity : but this had the touch
of true genius in it and vibrated on the
great popular heart. Curiosity in regard
to the author brought to light her simple
and beautiful history. Bom in the quaint
old English city of Boston in Linconshire
in 1830—her father a county banker, her
mother of Scotch descent—she had led a
quiet and unpretending life. Her home
is now in London with her mother, “ in a
quiet street where all the houses are gay
with window boxes full of flowers."
Her poems have been republished in
America, and her name is as well known
among cultivated literary Americans
as among those of England.
Miss Ingelow s “ Story of Doom" is
her longest poem. It was brought out
in London in 1867. It was not received
with such enthusiasm, however, as were
many of her lesser productions, as her
‘ Songs of Seven," and many others. A
later volume of hers is entitled “Moni
tions of the Unseen, and Poems of Love
and Childhood."
An interesting sketch of Miss Ingelow
is to befoundin the beautiful April number
of the Eclectic Magazine published by E.
It. Pelton, 108 Fulton street, N. Y. , and
it is accompanied by an exquisite steel
engraving giving Lev admirers tlie oppor
tunity of gazing on her noble and sweet
countenance. The other articles in this
best one of the magazines are very inter
esting, among which “Vivisection,"
“Egypt." and “ A Gold Coast Tragedy”
strike us most forcibly. W. G. M.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
We lay before our readers the follow
ing sensible remarks of Robt. S. Hamil
ton (author of the popular work on So
cial Science) at a recent discussion of the
question of Woman’s Enfranchisement in
Cincinnati recently. The article is copied
from the Cincinnati Daily Times:
R. S. Hamilton, in order to finish the
argument of his essay of a previous even
ing, occupied twenty minutes in a well-
studied and happily delivered course of
remarks, of which the following is the
substance:
The argument, in brief, of the advocates
of female suffrage is, that women are
equally as well qualified as men for all
the employments of social life, and are
therefore equally entitled to all its privi
leges. Now, by universal consent tins is
not true. By universal consent, there is
at least one of the great vital functions
of social life for which women are not so
well qualified as men, and in which, ac
cordingly, they are under no obligation
to take part—the war making function.—
But if there is one such function, may
there not, must there not be another ?
If women arc rightly exempted from the
duties and perils of military life, why
should they not also be exempted from
those of political life? They are very
much the same kind of employment; both
intensely exciting, immensely demoraliz
ing, intensely unbecoming a lady.
M ill it be said there is no need of women
taking any part in the business of fight
ing, since they have husbands, fathers
and brothers to do the fighting for them ?
Then what is the need of their taking any
part in the business of voting ? Have
they not husbands, fathers and brothers
to do the voting for them ? If, in short,
women can trust the men to do the fight
ing for them, why can they not trust them
also to do the voting ?
But, moreover, is there not an essential
error in the idea that any one part of so-
cic y is entitled to all the privileges and
W ° f tliat so “ et y> while they per
form only a part of its obligations, and
beai only a portion of its burdens 1 Is it
not an indisputable postulate of rms<m
that they who bear the areata* burdens
of the State are entitled to its greatest
privileges and emoluments? Is there not
in short, a manifest propriety in the idea
which seems to have been silently acqui
esced in by the almost unanimous con
sent of mankind, that they who fight for
seems to be that the
— the State is an in
spensable condition of the nght to vote
upon the administration of its affairs.—
The Roman Constitution was very etu
pkatic on this point and highly illustra
tive. The first of the six classes into
which all Roman citizens were divided out
voted all other classes combined in the
Cociitia Centuriata, or the greatest of all
the Roman assemblies. It had likewise
to outfight them all. Its voting weight
was 98, while that of all the other classes
combined was only 91, and its fighting
was also 98—that is, it had to furnish 98
parts of the military force of the State,
while all the other classes combined had
only to furnish 91 parts.
Suffrage cannot then be claimed for'
woman as a matter of right. Can it be
claimed as a matter of expediency ? What
ever benefit we might derive from the in
fluence of woman in the general ballot
would be far more than counteracted by
its vastly demoralizing influence in her
character—that character which is thelast
and greatest resource of human society
for the conservation of its virtue.
The speaker made some general remarks
on the unsatisfactory nature of the gener
al ballot system of voting, which any in
crease of the number of voters must tend
to aggravate, and made some frequent
suggestions as to possible modes of vot
ing in a more special manner that might
open the door for the admission of wo
men into politics. And in conclusion,
said:
“We have emptied the gutters and sew
ers into the cauldron of politics. Shall
we now throw woman in ? Can she purify
the seething mass of corruption ? Or will
it not rather hopelessly defile the ermine
of licr character ?
“Gentlemen, be not misled by undue
confidence in the incorruptibility of wo
men. Ladies, deceive not yourselves.—
The truth is not locked. Woman is some
times frail even when her intentions are
pure. ‘Evil communications corrupt good
manners.
“If driven to the proofs, we shall have
to quote Milton against our fair adversa
rics. Hear the wail of our first parent,
when reproached by his adored Eve for
having allowed her to go alone into the
bowers of Eden—in short, to have her
own way:
And, perhaps, I also erred in over-much admiring
What seemed in thee so perfect, that I thought
No evil durst attempt thee ; but I rue
That error now, which is become my crime,
And thou the accuser. Thus it shall befall
Him, who, to worth in woman overtrustiog,
Lets her will rule. Restraint she will not brook,
Aud, left to herself, if evil thence ensue,
She first his weak indulgence will accnse.
“Shall our weak indulgence be thus
accused by women when too late, when
the tree of knowledge has been plucked
by her, that baneful tree which grows
“fast by” the fountains of political corrup
tion. whose tempting fruit no man can
taste without being infected by its insid
uous poison ? The serpent as well as the
forbidden fruit is in tbe garden of poli-,
tics. Let woman beware how she ventures
to enter therein.”
ANCIENT TROY.
A Jar of Treasures Unearthed and
Seined Upon by Workmen.
New York Herald Constantinople Letter.]
Some further details, gathered on the
spot, have reached me in connection with
the treasures discovered in the possession
of some villagers lately employed by Dr.
Scliliemann in his Troy excavations. Two
men, while digging at the depth of thirty
feet, and at a small distance from an an
cient wall, came upon a plain earthen
jar, of which the moutb was closed and
plastered over with reddish clay. The
jar was small, measuring about six inches
in height by three in diameter. The day
being far advanced the men found no
difficulty in concealing their discovery
from Dr. Scliliemann's overseer, and, on
finishing the day’s work, they conveyed
the jar to a secluded spot, where they
divided its contents. The following are
the articles which, as far as it has been
possible to ascertain, were found in the
jar: One flat cake of solid gold, about
two inches square and a quarter of an
inch thick ; two plain finger-rings, omas
mented with three rows of twisted gold
on the upper and one on the lower sur
face ; two pairs of ear-rings, plain, round
and tapering above to fit into the ear, and
thick below: two brooches, shaped at the
upper end in the form of the letter Y,
and attached to the bottom of each is a
horizontal bar, from which depend eight
small chains, each terminated by a flat
round piece of ornamental gold; two gold
bracelets, tlnck, plain -, one gold band
for the hair, Belle Helene, plain and thin,
admitting of being rolled up when placed
in the jar; four beads, plain, about the
size of a small nut, and a large number
of small plain beads, each about the size
of a pea. Besides the above articles a
large, rough lump of gold intermixed
with earth and charred wood, being eve>
dently the remains of ornaments destroy
ed by fire, was also found at a subse
qnent period. The government has sei
zed only a portion of this treasure in
its original form. The remainder has
been converted into modern ornaments
and presented by one of the finders to
his sweetheart—-a circumstance which
excited suspicion and ultimately led to
the discovery by the authorities of the
whole. According to the statement e.v>
torted from the men they dug up their
jar three months previous to the date
fixed by Dr. Schliemann for the finding
of his treasure. The two treasures lay
buried in two distinct spots, at a distance
from each other of about 150 yards.
Some years ago a jar full of gold coins
was also dug up close to the same spot.
It is remarked that none of the imples
ments found by Dr. Schliemann were of
iron, no trace of that metal being found
anywhere in the neighborhood; nor did
the flagstones forming the pavement of a
gateway which was brought to light in
the course of the excavations bear the
faintest impression of cartwheels. It is
next to certain, therefore, that the city of
which Dr. Schliemann has partially ex
plored the site existed in the period of
transition from the stone age to that of
bronze. Homer repeatedly alludes to the
use of iron during the Trojan war, and if
his account be implicitly accepted “His-
sarlik" cannot be the site of old “Ilium.”
It is possible that the poet, being famil
ial’ with the topography of the country,
embodied in his poem the local tradition
down from remoter times, but that, ig
norant of the exact period at which the
events related took place, he has been
guilty of some serious anachronisms. The
fact that flints, arrow and spear heads a-
lone have been found in other tumuli, gen
erally admitted to have been raised over
the remains of the Trojans killed in
battle, strengthens the above assump
tion.
The Smbtammrem Mntierings of an
Earthquake—Sixteen Days and Nights
of Terror—Business Abandoned and
Mundane Things Forgotten—A Season
of Prayer.
Knoxville, Tens., March 20.—For the
last twenty days the greatest excitement
h«n prevailed for a distance of twenty-
five miles around and near Bald moun
tain. This mountain is between Crooked
creek in McDowell county nad Broad
river, the mountain also extending into
Rutherford county. That part of the
range within McDowell county is gener
ally called Stone mountain. The first
signs of an earthquake in this region were
noticed on the 10th of February. They
were what the people call a terrible
lumbering, the earth seeming to quiver
frightfully^ Some persons describe it as
thunder gradually dying away in the
distance, others as the roaring of heavy
artillery in the distance. On the 12th of
February two gentlemen on the highest
point of Bald Mountain, known as Harris
Yiew, which is said to be next to Mt.
Mitchell in height, heard this noise.
One of them says it at first reminded
him of the faiiling of heavy timber. Per
sons who live on the mountain sides and
at the base heard the same noise. All
think that the noise was in the mountain.
One man says when he was on one side
of the mountain
THE TEBK1BLE NOISE
was in the direction of the mountain aud
that on the opposite side the same indi
cations were noticed. All feel -satisfied
that the noise proceeded alone from this
mountain. On the 22d of February, the
noise was terrible. Among the persons
who live on this mountain are Mr. Camp,
Johnston Elliott, widow Nanny, George
Morgan, James Gilbert, and others. These
and perhaps fifty others, say that the
mountain was actually shaking. It seem
ed as though the entire mountain was
giving away. It is said tliat the cattle
here became alarmed and have wandered
from their usual range. Such was the
alarm, that about 12 o’clock on the night
of the 22d ult. the people for miles a-
round began to assemble at the house of
a Mr. Camp. Camp, having gone to the
wood pile for wood, became so much al
armed that he fell upon his knees and be
gan to pray aloud. Very soon
THE TERRIBLE QUAKING OF THE MOUNTAIN
was such that the gx-eat multitude as
sembled engaged in prayer. At daybreak
on Monday, George Logan, a colored
Bajitist preacher, was sent for in haste,
and so impatient were the multitude of
his arrival that some of them met him on
the road beseeching him to come and
pray and preach. The people thus as
sembled continued these devotions three
days,'then they moved a short distance to
a vacant house, the property of Harris
Elliott. On the third day Billy Logan,
white man and Baptist preacher, was sent
for. On March 3d, J. M. Lumly, a Meth
odist minister in charge of Broad River
Mission, was importuned to attend and
preach. He promptly complied with the
request. An eye witness describes the
scenes as strange and extraordinary. The
people came flocking in crowds of fifteen
and twenty, including men, women and
children, all in a terrible state of fear, de
spair and penitence.
SIXTEEN DATS AND NIGHTS OF PRAYER.
On the dayjof Mr. Lumly’s preaching,
the house was literally packed, the preach
er barely having room to stand. So ea
ger were they to hear that many went up
the side of the walls and crowded on the
joists above. When the call was made
for mourners, the people rushed from all
parts of the house and from the outside,
with frantic yells, and fell on the floor
and upon each other, all praying and sup
plicating. These exercises continued in»
cessantly for sixteen days and nights, with
but little intermission. During this time
the people all lived in common. No at
tention was given to labor or properly.
Cattle, horses and hogs were turned to
the woods, and the entire people within
the range of this
AWFUL EXCITEMENT
have become impressed with the belief
that they have but a few more days to
live. About one hundred have made pro
fession of religion. The closing scenes
of this strange meeting are represented
as peculiar and wonderful. During most
of this period of sixteen days the moun
tain had continued at intervals to present
the same alarming impressions, but hav
ing prayed, shouted, sung, and agonized
for this long period, people separated
with the promise that all would return
and die if necessary. The awe-stricken
countenances, the melancholy demeanor
of this vast multitude on the breaking up
of the devotions, are indescribable.
A letter was received in this city to-day
by a gentleman whose mother lives near
Bald Mountain, saying that near tlie sum
mit of that peak an area of nearly an acre
was agitated by subterranean upheavals
and sinkings, and that smoke and vapor
issued from the mountain.
THE CAPITAL OF ASHANTEE.
is the Bantammab, on the north
the town, and this alone —,
of ground. It is, however, at Ohe and {
the same time the royal abode, harem
mausoleum, and magazine of military
munitions.
There are seldom more than six of the
3,333—the mystical number of 8Ke King’s
wives—resident in the palace. The re
mainder mostly reside in liis croom, or
country residence, at Barramang. It is
built of quarried stone, is two
high, and contains large and loft''
The charge of this huge building ;

has been in command of the
against the English, and is be]
one of the slain—last held the office.
King Koft'ee has a summer palace called
the Iminihiah about two miles northeast
of the town.
As to the population, there seem to be
no accurate data. It has been put at
20,000 and 200,000. According to most
accounts, it certainly does not exceed the
smaller number at the present day. The
horrible rites, bloody sacrifices, and war -
ton destruction of human life—especially
the lives of the slaves—are believed to be
reducing the number of residents, in
spite of the constant acquisitions of fresh
captives. Bloody scenes are of almost
daily occurrence in the streets of Coomas
sie, where the executioner strikes down
the unsuspecting victim, running the
knife through his cheeks and dragging
him off to some sacrifice and to exorcise
some spirit.
Rich gold deposits are found in the
whole country between Coomassie and
the sea. The gold dust of all deceased
and disgraced subjects, according to
Bowdich, falls to the Sovereign, Besides
which he levies a tax of gold on all slaves
purchased from the coast. The traders
passing through his country are mulcted
heavily in gold duties, while the elephant
hunters are similar taxed. In addition to
these sources of revenue the King has
daily returns of gold yielded in the wash
ings at the Soko juts and on the hills—
the former, it is said, supplying as much
as 2.000 ounces a month.
Fate of the Presidents.—An extraordi
nary circumstance in the history of the
country occurs on the death of Mr. Fill
more. Never before since the adminis
tration of Jefferson has it happened that
only one person was alive, except the<
incumbent, who had filled the Presiden
tial office. Andrew Johnson is now the
only ex»President living; and even he
w not elected |o thjjft office, bat came to
& as Viee President on the assassination
of Mr. Lincoln. While the younger A-
dams was President the elder Adams,
Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe were liv
ing. When Buchanan was elected Van
Buren, Tyler, Pierce, and Fillmore were
alive. When Lincoln was inaugurated

A City Built on a Bill of Ironstone -
L Bing with SCore Wives than
righam Young.
From tlie London Daily Telegraph.]
Coomassie was reached on February 4th
by Gen. Sir Garnet Wolseley, after five
days hard fighting and a loss of about
300 killed and wounded. Captains Buddie
and Nicol and Lieut. Evre were the only
officers killed.
Coomassie, or Kumassi, though tlie
capital of the kingdom, is not the largest
city of Ashantee. Orignally Duabin was
considered a more significant place, and
Salgba was said to be three times as
large,
But from its commanding position, it
being the scat of Ashantee royalty, the
headquarters of the army, and the scene
of the ghastly religious ceremonies of the
population, it has gradually eclipsed all
rival towns.
Coomassie is built on the side of a large
hill of ironstone. This hill is among the
last of the series of acclivities which com«»
mence with the Adansi and terminate
little to the north of Coomassie. They
are all densely wooded, and present pre>
cipitous sides to the south, sloping more
gradually northward. The country be
tween the successive elevations is at
times marshy, and always covered by
thick brushwood.
The city stands near a stream called
the Soubin, which flows nearly all round
it, and in the rainy season fills it with a
pestilential fog. It is girt also with the
dense forest, which stretches all the way
from the coast for at least 150 miles.
Three or four day's marching, however,
northward brings the traveler out of the
bush, and there the miserable paths are
exchanged for comparatively good and
broad roads, leading to the large towns
in the interior.
The streets of Coomassie are broad and
clean. They are ornamented with beau
tiful banyan frees that form a grateful
shade from the sun. Its greatest pecu
liarity, however, is that every house has
one large public room which opens di
rectly noon the street, and this gives its
thoroughfares an extremely agreeable ap
pearance. They are, moreover, artistic.
The walls are of wattlework, but their
roughness is carefully hidden under a
plastering of mud, and this is washed
over with white day. The floors, which
are mostly raised above tips ground, are
generally covered with rude carvings, and
** always kept clean and nicely polished.
