alternating. Let two examples iMnftd
for all the rest.
On the night of the filli Os N'dvem
! Iter, I Ktid. a ttuinel was oomplctod
from White Oak Square, breaking
ground on Lai® street, in the city
muDiuilib. Through this subterranean
passage, seventy-eight meii etteeted
their joyful and sileut exodus. Eight,
or jierhnjis aa many as ten were re
captured, and hanged np f*y ffiufe
thumbs, by the humane Cantmandant.
I The remainder were ntnnberc<i*no
more with na in our mhtfortunes.
j The writer entered these eaea|tefl and
■ recapture#, by name, in the prison
| records, and »|toaka advisedly.
About the same jtcriod two men
. were taken iu the overt act of prose
cuting another tunnel. In punish
ment, they were east into White Oak
i dungeon. They were welcomed by
seven other prisoners nlreudy confluent
there for the ollcnws of kindivd en*
, ornaity. Hut the ruling pro|tenuity
of the tunneiera eotifil not lie so ex
tinguished. in a few days the rumor
electrified the L'alti|i, Unit the entire
fwamtiiiity of the dungt'Oii prisonertt
had cscapod—ttno ithmi throw/h a tun
uel! And so they hath it wa# a
, grave, practical joke, anti ft>r a week
our guardians wore a frown so omin
ous, that even the must reckless rub
scarce dare to smile.
Thus goadad, proverbial Yankee)
ingenuity advanced another atep—it
might be termed a stride,
Tito old barracks weft.* Wheeled into
parallel lines, new ones built, and the
kitchen buildings abolished, u few
feet iicing partitioned off tfoiu taclr
liairack to stibsorve onr moderate
culinary necessities. This increased j
the capacity of the prison to lti,OUO|
men. Every building and olyect of|
sixe was elevated ou projst, four feet;
above the surface. Camp Douglas, |
or rather “Little Dixie," as our end i
of it was called, stood upon stilts.,
15;,• stooping slightly, the guards could !
s« .«p the lint, sandy surface, at a i
ghti.ee, everywhere, from feueu to
fence.
Tunttelliig was at an end.
Anew fence was run, also, across
tbe Camp, from North to South, iso
lating the prisoners from the Federal
garrison, rgs-ciul patrols wont per
manently detailed to [icrrorin the
duties within our enclosure, anti no
other Yankee were allowed to pas#
the gate.
The patrols loved money, and were
bribed from first to last, to render
any assistance in their power; but
they never stood as sentinels on thu
fence, ami were powerless to serve In
our e«ea|»c.
Bribery for escape was rendered
Impossible.
After these herculean labors the;
Yankee intellect rcsposeA wearily.
Confederate resources, however con
tinued active. Check-mated at two
vitol points, the ragged sons of war
surveyed the field aucw. The passage
under the fetich wits barred ; Lot noth
ing daunted, their aspirations took a
bolder flight. They resolved to try
once more tbe high-way over.
Plato once irreverently defined man
as a biped without pinions. The
force of the fast olauae of this curt
definition, wa# then Keenly felt by
those environed men. They had no
winga, and couUl not fly; but then
even angels had once condescended,
in a dream, at least, to climb. Lad
ders were secretly constructed, and
It soon come al>ont that a nightly
fusiUde was comprehended to an
nounce a rush uptflj the wall. Many
escaped thus, before the 1 anWi? con
ceived the happy expedicitof placing
IKiwerful reflecting lamps at easy
distances throughout the camp. Thu,
prison was thus rendered almost as
bright by night as by day. Instead
of a single rapid shot in the dark,
amid the melee of an onset the sen
tinel was given ample facilities for
several deliberate rounds. A few ex
erimeuts demonstrated that tile haz
ards cf scaling too were inereaaed to
a degree that demanded an abandon
ment of that system. The saino ca
pacity to estimate chances, let to the
adoption of a less dangerous, because
more war like method. ,
Organized squads, usually of from
four to six, armed themselves with
brick bats, and advanced by night
to the assault. Deploying behind
the angels of tbe barracks, they opened
fire on tbe sentinels at short range,
and under cover of this primitive, yet
really forrJu% Artillery, axoinen

The trip which we have just
returned, unlof wltich we Imve given
our reader#' running note# made
during its progress, has convinced us
that northwesUm ileorglu aud north
western Alahimn constitute the great
mineral regioulof the United States.
No doubt tie bolt extends through
A iabamn nearly to the VVealern bouu
dry of t he Stile, and through (Jeorgia
to, and pi rhapf lioyoud the Western
line# of North ana South Carolina.
Hut the limit# first named are un
equaled iu the great abumlauce aiui j
variety tit ihu tires to be found in (
them, their stoewfiLiUtv. aud the an
perior' d'a;-' gcoau-r pdtliou
of them it ;,C( -nsas if Nature, ill a
: propitious m.'.: ujn?, had emptied into
i tliis region imtuitwe stores ot all the
| mineral# valuable for the purpoitua of
: art or eonmurri'e Other regions were
i favored each with Ufi re ot them, but
| the seetioo above defltted had the
i wltole of tltem showered down (or
■ np-lieavedb/Jterally one upon another.
| To convoy an idea of the great variety
of these, minerals, we copy a tiiemo
| random mud. of specimen* exhibited
[tousby D. it. Mitchell. Esq., in hi*
olllcc at Itone—all of which were
obtained from localities very near that
city:
Uoperas Orcj)
Alum Ore,
Uokhbuaring jQimrta,
\ciettlsr Iron Ore,
Hematite Iron Ore,
Slate, ttO’i two localities,

Coal of all varieties,

..JFuilefs Earth—white and varic
! gated,
PonMaht—-very fine.
In tie catensivo and varied collec
tion of minerals exhibited to onr
company at CartereVille, there were
several important ones not named in
the above list. Marble and other
beautiful material for slabs,ornament*
and building purposes, abound in this
section.
I’emisylvatiia lias iron «n»t «m»t:
several of tlie New England -State#
have marble and granite of a valuable
kind; Missouri has iron and lead;
Hut, neither of these States can, in
tlie minerals which it furnishes, com
pare with tlie section of (jeorgia nnd
Alabama above described, which lias
nil of them and a great many more.
We do not name lead in the list of
ores seen during our late trip, but we
understand that it, too, is to bu found
iu that region. All that i# needed i»
capital and enterprise to put-then
crude minerals iu the shape required
, for Their abundance, ac-
sUjterior quality will
make succere in this enterprise a cer
tainty, Tlie extensive development
of one mineral will lead to die de
velopment of another, until attention
will be strongly directed to the incx
liaustable wealth of this region, an<l
the miners, smelters and rollers of
poorer and more exhausted regions
will see that they must conn.* South
to follow their occupations profitably
and to make their investments pay.
! We lielleve that the development
of the vast mineral wealth of upper
Georgia and Alabama cannot much
longer be postponed, and that when
the needed capital aud energy arc
directed to the work, those sections
will prosper and flourish in an extra
ordinary manner.

| The Skeleton (land,
i II will not fee remembered by many
that now thirteen years ago, a mail
named Jolly, who Uv tH i in Dekalb

with after having left hfe hcn«e %
vfeit Nashville. He was tolernlily

p!,u., and retcrmeJ ad. r a month’s
#oyous traveL At tbo time of Jolly’s ;
departure from noun h* con&##ed.j
was leaving, and even Tlieif -Ct
Tlis wife was meiente with a second
infant, which afterwards proved to lie
a girl-—bom an orphan. When he
was wway about a week his w ifo and
friends became alarmed- Nothing
had been heard from him—ud one
had iseeirfiitn on the jonnfeyi After
a couple of day#’
aOtceli wa# instituted. No trace W
any sort coultl lie found, except that
titc marks of feet, as if those of strug
gling men, were found on the banks
of tlie Cumberland, about two miles
from a landing, where it was expected
Jolly was to take a boat to come
down the fiver. Several small sap
-I!ngs were either torn up by tlie root*
or broken, thus giving evidence of a
tlon-e combat. Save those marks,
nothing that count, in any way, throw
any light ou the fate of Jolly, was
ever discovered. After remaining two
years on tlie farm, nnd when her two
little children were in a condition to
run about, she liecanio wearied of a
scone tlie contemplation of which
afforded her nothrug hut pain. It
was a scene once bright nnd happy
turned suddenly into desolation and
gloom, and the fair young widow and
sorrowing mother wa# losing lief
health. Hhc, by the advice of friends
and physicians, sold out and cnuiu to
Nashville. In about th ree years after
wards she married the clever, but
•ccentfic, Dr. Harper, who died down
South tiuring thu war. She has since
| remained a w idow, possessed of con
! (adorable property, and an interesting
; family of three girls ami a boy> These
\ seemingly irrelevant particulars will
have a aiguiUeuneje when we taU tUg
suaHnis reader that TJto early bftt ttn
sdoee*»AU suitor toiler hand, having
never married, engaged in the South
ern cause ulso, and was in the samu
regiment in which Dr. Harper was
medical officer. lie got along in
apparent good terms with Dr. llar|>er,
Iml was frequently heard to ettrso
him bitterly iu private, and, itt fact,
the day before his death, had a tierce
alternation with him, which was only
prevented ripening into n fatal col
lision by thu intervention of superior
officers.
For a long lime after tlie death bt
flarpel the manlier of it was consid
ered strange, but the thought of it
finally died out of tlie minds of men.
After tlie war the fierce but bullied
suiter of her young days eatnc to
Nashville and renewed acquaintance
with the twice widowed flaine of his
youth. Very recently he was on th'
poiut of succeeding; in fact, some
preliminary arrangements were al
ready made for a wedding, when a
derangement occurred in the water
pi lat which supplied the house of the
widow Harper, in South Nashville.
Plumbers were set to work on the
pipe, but could make no improvement
on it. Finally, tlie street was rip|icd j
up to ascertain the cause of tlie water
stoppage. It was found. At the
mouth of tlie pipe, where it was at
titcited to tlie main street supply pi|ie,
the skeleton of a hand was found ; the
fingers were closed up like a knot,
firmly jammed into the small pqie.
On being taken out, a jack-knife was
found clutched iu the flngersj covered ;
with rust, of course, but sufficiently ,
sound and perfect fit shape to w.o*» ]
that it hatl been once the property of
the man to whom the widow was on- j
gaged to be married. Upon one of
tlie fingers was found, also, a diamond
ring which her Bret husband wore
when he left their house, in DeKalb
county, thirteen ftan ago. When
these particular* became known, the
.intended bridegroom hastily left town,
fend the good lady became sick. An
attempt was made to hush np these
facts, but they gradually leaked out.
