THE DAILY TIMES. THURSDAY, SEPrBMBBH 23. The Muscogee Railroad The Stockholders ol this company, and our cit izens generally will I>e pleased to learn that the present season has opened under circumstances highly encouraging to the business ot the voa . The past year has been one ol disaster to a branches ot iodustry and trade- To tins genera, fact railroad operations have not loime an e ceplioQ. The last crop being a sh “ r, ,°" e - “ pe “ 6 ly in the region contiguous to Columbus, the was a larged.minulion ol eastward tre, g hls;and our merchants, exercising a wise cauiton were 1 ex travagant in their purchases and, hence, there as a marked decrease in westward freight The same cause operating upon the travelling public induced a general curtailment of expenditure, and a tailing off in passenger receipts was the consequence. With the assured prospect ol better times every thing leaps forward. Men are bustling to and fro in the greedy race lor profit. Depots are crowd ed with boxes of merchandise “just received.’ Cotton goods find a good demand at remunera ting prices, and the Staple, caught up by eager purchasers at satisfactory ligures, moves on to the manufacturer. The common carrier trans ports the cotton, the merchandise, the traveller and thus is benclitted by the gfeat business revival. The Muscogee Railroad has been in operation six years, and during that time, has Sailed to de< i-iro only twa Semi-annual dividends. I* or the past six months, embracing the period ol disaster to which we have alluded, the earnings of the road jell short only a few thousand dollars ol the amount necessary to make a dividend this fall. The President and Board of Directors wisely, we think, determined not to embarrass ibe road, un der any contingency, and kept this amount still to the credit of the company. We have obtained from the President, Mr. Jno. L. Mu-man, the following comparative statement of receipts since the Ist ol August totheJOih Sep tember 1853 and the cot responding period ot last year. Receipts lor Aug.

Gen’l William Walker's Return. This gentleman ot .Nicaraguan fame, as was published in yesterday’s dispatches, has left New York for tho home of his adoption, lie sails via Aspihwall and takes troops on board with him at Panama. Never in the political history of any 7 Country have we seen such an exhibition ol in domitable energy and invariableness of purpose as displayed by this man. Tho Americanization of Nicaragua is the aim of his liie— the soul of his ex istence. No matter what may be said of his per sonal ambition —no matter how-great his propen sity to rule —no matter how treated by his own government, the great enterprise commands the sympathy of the Southern people, and moves on ward in spite ol hinderances and no adulation of one man that causes ind’ ...” 4 the South to vibrate in unison witli everv throh ol feeling for Nicaragua. It is dv> great achieve ment of ameliorating the condition of that un happy people—planting the standard of republic can institutions upon Nicaraguan shores—breath ing into her vitals the life-restoring principles of freedom that swells with joyous emotions the bosom of American freeman. And the day may not bo far distant, when William Walker--abused, ill-treated and hunted down as he is—will be Presi dent of the Nicaraguan Republic—the Costa Ricans no longer groaning under the yoke of a foreign tyranny, the fields yielding the rich fruits of negro labor, her soil inviting repose for the oppressed ol every nation. if the American people from Gen. Cass down to the humblest peasant could glory in the suc cess of Walker when the star of his destiny shone with almost meredian brightness, now that it is rising from the dark clouds of adversity and mis fortune which has overshadowed it for the last six or eight months, it should be hailed with the same joy and delight. May it never set in eternal dark ness or gloom ! Fort Gaines.—Daily Mail. We are gratified to lay before our readers in Clay county the following letter from the Post Office Department, which gives them mail facili ties and privileges never before enjoyed. It will be seen by the contract proposed, that the citizens of Fort Gaines will have a daily four-horse coach mail, instead of a little hack as heretofore. This places Columbus and Fort Gaines in close conti guity and gives the enterprising people of the latter place an opportunity of receiving the latest tele graphic intelligence the morning after its publica tion in Columbus. Too much credit cannot be given to our immediate Repreeentative, Mr. Craw ford, for this change. He has been untiring in his exertions to give his constituents every mail facility within his power. May we not expect from this arrangement a large list of subscribers to our Dailxj, which will give the people of Fort Gaines the latest news twelve hours in advance of the mails from other points? Here is the letter: Po3T Office Department, Contrrct Office ( September, 17th, 1858. y Sir : In answer to yours of the 13:h inst., I have the honor to state that the Postmaster General has issued an order to the contractors ou Route 7208, from Seal’s Station, Ala., to Cutlibert, Ga., to carry a branch mail from Georgetown, by Pomaria, to Fort Gaines, and back daily, in four horse coaches, at pro rata pay, amounting to $1,908 additional per annum If they decline, the postmaster at Fort Gaines will be instructed to employ some other suitable person to perform the service on the same terms.

At the supposed end of what has always been considered the longest avenue of the Mammoth Cave, nine miles from its en trance, there is a pit, dark and deep and terrible, known as the Malestrom. Tens of thousands have gazed into it with awe, whilst the bengal-iights were thrown down it to make its feaiful depths visible, but none ever had the daring to explore it.— The celebrated guide Stephen, who was deemed insensible to fear, was offered six hundred dollars by the proprietors of the Cave if he would descend to the bottom of it, but he shrank from the peril. A few years ago, a Tennessee professor, a learned and bold man, rosolved to do what no one before him had dared do, and, making his arrangements with care and precaution, he had himself lowered down by a strong rope a hundred feet, but at that point his cour age failed him, and he called aloud lo be drawn out. No human power could ever have induced him to repeat the appalling experiment. A couple ofweeks ago, however, a young gentleman of Louisville, whose nerves nev er trembled at mortal peril, being at the Mammoth Cave with Professor Wright of our city, and others, determined, no matter what tho dangers and difficulties might be, to explore the depths of the Malestrom.— Mr. Proctor, the enterprising proprietor of the Cave, sent to Nashville and procured a j long rope of great strength expressly fori the purpose. The rope and some necessa ry timbers were borne by the guides and , others to the point of proposed exploration, j The arrangements being soon completed, the rope, with a heavy fragment of rock j affixed to it, was let down and swung to and fro to dislodge any loose rocks that j would be likely to fall at the touch. Sev eral were thus dislodged, and the long-con tinned reverberation, rising up like distant; thunder front below, proclaimed the depth of the horrid chasm. Then the young hero of the occasion, with several hats drawn over his head to protect it as far as possi ble against any masses falling front abo\e, and with a light in his hand and a rope ; fastened around his body, took his place • over the awful pit and directed the half dozen men, who held the end of the rope, i to let him down into the Cimmerian gloom. j We have heard front his own lips an ac- j count of his descent. Occasionally masses of earth and rock went whizzing past, but none struck hint. Thirty or forty feet front the top he saw a ledge, front which, as he judged by appearances, two or three aven- j ues led oft in different directions. About a j hundred feet from the top, a cataract from * the side of the pit went rushing down the abyss, and, as he descended by the side ol the falling water and in the midst of the spray, he felt some apprehension that his light would be extinguished, but his care prevented tide. He was landed at the bot tom of the pit, a hundred and ninety feet from the top. He found it almost perfectly circular, about eighteen feet in diameter, with a small opening at one point, leading to a fine chamber of no great extent. lie found on the floor beautiful specimens of black silex of immense size, vastly larger than was ever discovered in any other part of the Mammoth Cave, and also a multi tude of exquisite formations as pure and white as virgin snow. Making himself heard, with great effort, by his friends, he at length asked them to pull him partly up, intending to stop on the way and explore a cave that he had observed opening about forty feet above the bottom of the pit. Reaching the mouth of that cave, he swung himself with much exertion into it, and holding the end of the rope in his hand, he incautiously let it go, and it swung out apparently beyond his reach. The situation was a fearful one, and his friends above could do nothing for him. Soon, however, he made a hook of the end of hislamp, and by extending himself as far over the verge as possible without falling, he succeeded in securing the rope. Fastening it to a rock, he followed the avenue 150 or 200 yards, ton point where lie found it blocked by an im passable avalanche of rock and earth. Re turning to the mouth of this avenue, he be held an almost exactly similar mouth of another on the opposite side of the pit, but not being able to swing himself into it, he re fastened the rope around his body, suspend ing himself again over the abyss, and shout ed to liis friends to raise him to the top. — The pull was an exceedingly severe one, and the rope, being ill-adjusted around his body, gave him the most excruciating pain. But soon his pain was forgotten in anew and dreadful peril. When he was 90 feet from the mouth of the pit, and 100 from the bottom, swaying and swinging in mid air, he heard rapid and excited words of horror and alarm above, and soon he learned that the rope by which he was upheld had taken fire from the fric tion of the timber over which it passed.— Several moments of awful suspense to those above, and still more awful to him below, ensued. To them and him a fatal and in stant catastrophe seemed inevitable. But the flte was extinguished with a bottle be i longing to himself, and then the party j above, though almost exhausted by their { labors, succeeded in drawing him to the top. He was as calm and self possessed as upon his entrance into the pit, but all of his com panions, overcome by tatigue, sank down upon the ground, and his friend, Professor Wright, from over-excitement, fainted and remained for a time insensible. The young adventurer left his name , carved in the depths of the Maelstrom— I the name of the first and only person that | ever gazed upon its mysteries. —Louisville ! Journal , Se/>£. 1 \th.

New.York, Sept. 21-The honorary directors ol the Atlantic Telegraph Company have to day received a dispatch from the Newfoundland Su perintendent, in which it is stated that the elec tricians have been unable to communicate with Valencia since the first day of September. Elec trical manifestations, however, indicate that the difficulty is at or near the Valencia otiice.
