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 out aud All to no purjiose. — Nearly ,Ungp days have passed since we entered the cave, and during all that time it has been full of ceople, uselessly hunt ing tortile /wo up fortunate men One af ter.another,of the various galleries leading fr<OW the grpnd.ehatpber lipve >*ee" explod ed hlft/ed \vitp cpalk ipaik*, hut still the rui«singAieP.caniiot be found! We are beginning to ilose heart , but will persevere as long as there is tjiie faintest hope. The guide of the Mammoth icaye, in Kentucky, has been sent for to asaist in' jthe aeaxoh. I shall remain here a day or two longer, to do what little I can, and will inform you if the men or their bodies are found. Mr. Knapp has since been found. He wandered about the cavern and was at last fortunate enough to find an opening in an old sink hole, where he was found by a hunter, fifty-six hours after he was left by the party In the cavern. Dr. Hawn hail not been discovered at last accounts. UsaSrTheNew Albany (lud.) Commer cial remarks that houses are so scarce in the city, that several men in the lower fmrt of the town are building flat l»oat louses, intending to anchor them out in front of the city and move their families into them. Several of thesemnrine dwell ings arc now in course of construction at the city shipyard. The Honorable mem l>er who was recently appointed a committee by the Legislature to inquire into his conduct, has reported in part, and asks for power to send for persons and papers. He says if he had known how much there was to do, he never would have undertaken the job. A warning is conveyed in the fol lowing paragraph, which we clip from a foreign Journal: “Green sobes, it appears, are now very much the fashion on the Con- i tinent. ProfessorMaecbkaand Dr. Learck, . of Prague, have analyzed a green dress, which was recently worn ata ball in Vien na, and discovered in the thirty-six metres of which it was composed no le*« than two ounces of arsenic. llckga’mim.n 1 *Tle'murt !•?- cnbbage »» Jj, e n sue is pleased, and pect to be . t but w | K . r tem|>er when ce i-s 18 fl l k Mvte more kissing <ha„ cufflng.- for somebody. .
