JOURNAL AND MESSENGER.
macon. Wednesday, April i».
▲ Thrilling Narative.
The Indianapolis Herald, of the T2th,
contains a letter, written at
on the Bth instant, in which an aerount of I
an exploration of the celebrated “Dead
Man’s Cave,” situated near Leavenworth, |
is given. It contains several thrilling in- 1
eluents. The exploring party consist.-*! of
Major Throckmorton, of Louisville:
tain Holcr&ft, Sheriff Swane, Dr. E. K. |
Hawn and Lyman E. Knapp, of this j
place; Mr. Jessie Brandon, of Nashville,
and the Herald’s correspondent. The
party proceeded to the subterranean river,
which flows through the cave, when, says
the letter, a consultation was had on the
bank, to determine whether an attempt
should be made to cross In its present
swollen condition. Mr. Knapp, myself i
and Sheriff Sway ne, suggested an aband
onment of the expedition, but were over
ruled by Dr. Hawn, Major Throckmorton,
Captain Holeraft and Mr. Brandon, who,
while admitting the dangerous character
of the attempt, declared they woul.l rather
perish than abandon the expedition now,
and stand the ridicule which such a move
ment would entail u|>on their heads. The
boat was accordingly launched, and Capt.
Holeraft, Dr. Hawn and myself entered,
the doctor playfully remarking that some
men who were destined to die another
death could never be drowned. We found
the passage much easier than we expected.
Captain Holeraft took the oars, while I
grasped the tiller and the doctor held aloft
the flambeau. A few vigorous strokes,
and with a sensation of relief, we felt the
keel grate upon the pebbles of a sloping
bank on the other shore, in still and quiet
water. A lusty cheer from the doctor
made the cavern ring, and informed the
rest of the party that the passage had been
wafely accomplished. Capt. Holeraft then
returned, and soon brought over the re
mainder of the party.
Continuing the exploration, the party
came to a place where was discovered a
deep circular hole, apparently almost bot
tomless. Stones dropped into its gaping
mouth would be heard sullenly plunging
from side to side, until the noise of their
descent was lost in the abyss far below.—
Mr. Knapp being the lightest of the party,
was let down by a strong cord a distance
of some thirty yards, when he vigorously
signified that he had seen enough by jerk
ing the rope. He was drawn up. looking
a trifle paler than usual, and declaring
that his curiosity had been am ply satisfied.
Mr. Knapp said that, after descending a
distance of fifteen or twenty feet, numer
ous winged things, apparently bats, flitted
constantly about his ears, viciously anafe
ping their mandibles together witli a dev
ilish sort of twitter. One of these, cold,
clammy and inexpressibly nasty, alighted
on his face, and inflicted a severe bite. Mr.
Knapp nearly fainted with disgust, and
declared that if the rope had not been
tied .under his arms he would have fal
len. - . .. „ ,
The party having become quite satisfied
with wghtrseeinguudergrouud, worealiout
ready to leave for daylight, when, upon the
earnest -solicitation of Dr. Hawn, the jiarty
was .pureuadedto continue the explorations
a litfle heyapd., when, says the writer, the
most painful portion of the story com
mences. The party entered anew cavern,
which suddenly narrowed. Mr. Knapp
K oin or first, passed through the opening on
Flis hands and knees, ana entered another
large chamber. Dr. Hawn, who is a very
large heavy man, attempted to follow, and
became inextricably fixed in the passage.
He neither get forward nor back.
For tteree tours the party worked inces
santly, but ar! ip no‘purpose. We sent
back to the river and * ro P B tftke,
with which the boat lieu been fastened, to
use as a crowbar. Witn thie the Dr. might
have been extricated, bpt here anew ca
lamity manifested itself. C.ue W °d e > Ul ®
lamps had burned out, until bai A? BD«ugn
o’l was left to light us on our wa>
the river. The thought of being im J *’ r v'
oned in that living tomb was too terrib. r
I to be endured, for we knew, without light,
Ibat nre never could find our way back. A
IMtnie seized upon the party, and hastily
esavipg (th*e doctor and Mr. Knapp to their
fate—Car doctor’s body effectually
blocked up ,tlte way against Mr. Knapp’s
return—we rapidly retraced our stejm,
crossed the riv.er aitd returned to the town.
A supply of oil, took, .etc., were procured,
and although fatigued almost to the point
of disability and returned to the cave, de
termined to rescue our comrades or jterisli
in the attempt. The river was crossed, anil
we proceeded to the grand chamber where
we had taken our lunch, accompanied by
numerous citizens of Leavenworth.
But search as closely as we would, we
could not find the gallery in whicli the
.doctor and Mr. Knapp was entombed. In
vain we explored and shouted until worn

The Supreme Court having adjourned,

bilitv of eonvieting Ihivis before a civil

hag about concluded to order his release
on parole. Mr. Stephen* is reported to
have expressed the conviction that he
would ia# “released” and as Mr. ha*
just held a long interview with the Ptw

shadowing the event.

most important argument, covering eigh:>
