By ob serving this caution much disappoiumeut and suffering will be avoided. I send this communication to your pa this place ; Mr. Jesse Brandon, of Nash ville, and your Correspondent, went pre pared to make a thorough exploration of the cave. Besides the necessary lights, ropes, water-proof' clothing, etc., they car ried with them u light but staunch boat, prepared expressly for the occasion, ou which to cross tho mysterious stream that had, on the former occasion, stopped their further progress. The party set forth in the highest of spirits. Dr. Hawn, whose sad fate has cast a gloom over the entire community, was especially buoyant. The doctor was greatly exhilarated by the prospect of an exciting and adventurous day, aud his good-humored wit and ready repartee were the life and soul of the party- The expedition proceeded without de lay to the terminus of the former explora tion on the banks of the subteranean river. Those who had accompanied the former expedition noticed a perceptible change in the appearance of the stream, which feet numerous winged things, apparently bats, flitted constantly about bis ears, viciously snapping their mandibles togeth er with a devilish sort of twitter. One of these, cold, clammy, inexpressibly nasty, alighted on bis face, and inflicted a severe bite. Air. Knapp nearly fainted with disgust, and declared that if the rope had nut been tied under his arms he would Irive fallen. Now comes the most painful part of the story. Tired and weary of sight seeing, the party was on the point of starting on tho return, -when, at the earnest solicita tion ef Dr. llawn, wc consented to at least partially explore another cavern. It was followed but a short distance when it suddenly narrowed. Mr. Knapp going first, passer! through the opening on his hands and knees, and entered another large chamber. Dr. llawn. who is a very heavy man, attempted to follow, and be came inextireably fixed in the passage, lie could neither Ret forward nor back. med to be much fuller and more tur- I or three hours the party worked iuccs- bulcnt, plunging and roaring in some un known abyss below. A consultation was bad on tho bank, to determine whether an attempt should be made to cross in its present swollen condition. Mr. Knapp, myself and Sheriff Swayne suggested an abandonment of the expedition, but were overruled by l)r. llawn, Major Trockiuor- ton, Captain Holcroft i 3d Mr. Brandon, who, while admitting the dangerous char acter of the attempt, declared they would rather perish than abandon the expedition now, and stand the ridicule which such a movement would entail upon their heads. The boat was accordingly launch Captain llolcroft, Dr. llawn an santly, but all to no purpose. We sent back to the river for the iron stake, with which the boat bad been fastened, to use as a crowbar. With this the doctor might have been extricated, but here a new calamity presented itself.

To the Editor of the New York News : Sir : I have just returned from Mexico, after a sojourn of three months in that country. Having received from Virginia several letters of inquiry in regard to the prospects for emigrants to Mexico, and having learned that many persons in that as well as the other Southern States desire to emigrate, I will state, through your columns, the result of my own observation and the information received from others j p Cr j or publication, as I have no doubt on whose judgment I could rely. I must j t h a t ; u Giat wa y r will gooner reach the state in the first place, that my personal ^03 0 f the readers for whom it is intend- observation of the country was confined to what I saw in passing and repassing over the stage route from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico; the greater part of my time having been spent in the latter city. The lands in the Cordova district and about Orizava, through, which the stage route passes, are unquestionably rich, and intelligent gentlemen, who had seen other parts of the couutry, informed me that there were other districts in which the lands were very rich, and capa ble of being made very productive by the proper use of capital and labor. But col onists will have many difficulties to en counter in all of them. There has been no systematic effort to survey or ascertain the locality of the public lands, until that made uuder the superintendence of Gen eral MeGruder, Chief of the Land Office. All the lands at Cordova which have been surveyed as public lands have already been parceled out and have supplied but a small number of colonists. Land titles in Mexico are in a very unsettled condi tion, and but few men know the bounda ries of\heir own lands. So uninformed is the Government itself in regard to the lands to which it has claims that, in making a contract with Gen. Hardeman, of Texas, for the survey of public lands in Durango, the whole risk ana expense of discovering those lands have been thrown on him, and he is to receive com pensation only in the event of his being able to find and survey the lands, the Government not even undertaking to furnish him protection against guerrillas and robbers while he is fulfilling his con tract. The lands offered by private indi viduals in alternate' sections to colonists, so far as I am informed, are in remote districts where the Liberals, or Dissidents, as they are called, have control, aud the Government can afford no protection.— The very highly colored accounts of the country and its resources which have been published, and the expectations of a ed than in any other. Respectfully, J. A. EARLY. Pagan Worship—Description of a Chi- < nese Pagoda in San Francisco- [San Francisco (February 17), Correspondence of the Rochester Union and Advertiser.] Wednesday last, besides being Asli- Wednesday and Valentine-day, was the first of the New Year among the Chinese of this city. I believe I have told you that there are' form 5,000 to 10,000 of the moon-eyed Celestials in this city — Among them are some very wealthy and respectable merchants, and the ‘ doings’ of the New-Year holiday (four days), have been quite interesting. Fire-works and crackers -have been rattling in all parts of the city, but more especially in that part of the town known as China town, where most of the ‘Johns’ reside. Many of these merchants kept open house, and received their white friends with as much dignity and ceremony as “any other man." Champagne and other wines were expended with liberality. The temple was opened to all American visitors who would honor them with their presence, and I among others, “honored” them with a call. The building is situa ted in a miserably dirty alley, and is a small building, three stories in flight.— The first story seems to be occupied as a sleeping and smoking department. There was a number of the “Johns” lingering in blissful repose on the floor, while the others were enjoying the luxury of a smoke. The strong fumes of opium which they smoke not having a salutary effect upon my olfactory organs, I was obliged to beat a hasty retreat, and forth with mounted to the second story. All about this room were characters in the Chinese language, brilliant lights were suspended from the ceiling, aud incense burned upon the several altars where were reared the gods whom they wor- large influx of emigrants which have been ship. On one side were arranged what excited, have caused proprietors having ! I took to be standards or poles upon lands for sale to increase enormously the j which were banners. These standards prices asked for them, and many persons • were surmounted with figures, carved who have recently arrived in the country ! from brass in the shape of dragons and have been unable to procure lands, either monstrosities of various forms. Near from the Government or from private in dividuals. The legitimate consequence of all this has been, that many are return ing in a great state of dissatisfaction, while others, who relied on the delusive promises of aid from the Government, find themselves not only without means of obtaining lands but of returning to their former homes. It is exceedingly difficult for those who have succeeded in getting lands to procure labor to put them in a state of cultivation, as the native population caunot be relied on for that purpose. All idea of procuring assistance from the Government must be abandoned by those who desire to emigrate to that country. I have no doubt that Mexico I has resources which, under a stable gov- j eminent and with capital aud labor suffi- ! cieut, are susceptible of very considerable this was reared au altar or pedestal where an ugly looking amimal of tho dragon species received the homage of the “Johns.” Around the “animile” were some beautiful specimens of Chinese handiwork, consisting of carved work, embroidered work and artificial flowers, the whole being under a canopy of carved wood-work, handsomely gilded with gold, silver and carmiuc. Before this nondescript idol were plac ed plates containing oranges, candies and cups of tea, given as an offering; but the gentle “pussy” with the immense mouth and open jaws touched them not. In another portion of the room are placed a large number, one hundrod or more, of small figures, carved from brass, representing Chinese in various attitudes and postures. I iuferred that this was development; but those who go there j some historical representation. There I expecting to find the beautiful and fruit- j were several spreads of most exquisite ' ful land which is described in some of ■ embroidery work, the figures being of the published accounts, will be doomed to as sad a disappointment as that experi enced by the old Spanish conquerors in their search for the fabled Eldorado. On the railroad which is being constructed from Yera Cruz to the City of Mexico practical and experienced engineers, con tractors and mechanics may find employ ment, but otherwise very few positions the dragon and mermaid order, handsome ly wrought in gold and silver, upon scar let silk. These were offered for sale at S70 each. The third story is the most important one, for here in all his majesty and glory sits the “Josh” of Joshes Tong Gee.— He is a jolly, fat, and seemingly a very- good-natured old fellow; his mouth is bung with enormous clusters ot diamonds, the effect could not have been more be wildering. For a moment tlieeutire par ty vrus awe-stricken aud speechless.— Then the more excitable ones broke forth his living tomb.

The Wilmington Journal gives the; following facts relative to the capture of a whale below that city : The whale recently captured Is of the fin-back species, and was first seen about sunrise on Tuesday, March 20ih, and soon after grounded on an oyster rock near Sinithville* He got clear, and started up the channel agitating the water! mere than an ordinary steamboat. II e ( sho: tly afterwards rau aground again, this tiuie opposite the residence of Mrs. Stuart. Mr. Warren a gentleman in Smithville, fired at him while in this po sition ; but ba appeared perfectly regard less of the shot, and extricating himself again, started up the channel. A small schooner, named the Planet, then started in pursuit, and found him stuck on ieuow’s marsh, opposite Fort Fisher; but on coming up with him it was discovered that he had again succeeded in extricat ing himself and was making directly for tho sehobner. This movement on the part of the whale caused a great deal of consternation among the crew of the ves sel, which was immediately faced about, and all haste was made from the scene of action; but on proceeding a short dis tance they observed that the whale, who was probably as badly frightened as the crew, had also changed his course, and making all speed in an opposite direction, and was in a shoit time seen to run ashore near the place where lie had just got off. A small boat was sent to reconnoitre bis position. Finding him fast aground, and the tide falling, the schooner pro ceeded to Smithville to get the assistance of the sloop Flash, and also to obtain the services of a gentleman residingin Smith- ville, who had several years experience in the whaling business. Ou their return, the tide having fallen considerably, the huge monster was dis covered to be almost cutirely out of the water. The first object was to kill him; accordingly a hole was cut in his side, and the old whaler ran his sword in until bis arm was almost entirely embedded in his body. His heart was eventually pierced, but even then it was nearly two hours before he had ceased to breathe.— In his fury he could throw a stream of water six inches in diameter fully a hun dred feet high. His dimensions were as certained to be as follows: fifty-six feet long, and twenty seven feet in circumfer ence. The head is about one-third of the entire length. The jaws are sixteen feet long on either side, and nine feet wide across the throat. The tail is about twelve feet wide, and serves him as a weapon.— He is only about half grown, and weighs thirty-six tons, or seventy-two thousand pounds. To give some idea of his immense weight, it is stated that even after the upper jaw and skull were cut away, it was impossi ble owing to the immense weight, to get the under jaw on the deck of the schoon er, so it must remain in the water until the flesh decays before the bone can be saved. The carcass would have made sixty barrels of oil, if facilities could have been obtained for cutting and tying up the blubber. As it is only about twenty-five barrels, or eight hundred gallons, have been saved. Efforts to Release Jeff. Davis by Writ of Habeas Corpus Abandoned. [Correspondence oftlie New Fork Herald)] The rumor that an attempt would be made at Richmond, under the late pro clamation of the Rrcsideut, to effect the removal of Jeff. Davison a writ of habeas corpus, lias proved correct. Among his friends there the subject was discussed at great length and iu all its possible bear ings, when the matter was dropped, from very positive assurance that they could do nothing in the case. Jeff. Davis be ing a prisoner of the United States, in order to eff.ct his removal in the way contemplated, it was found the writ of habeas corpus would be inoperative un less bearing the approving signature of Chief Justice Chase. It being settled that the Chief Justice would not give ‘he benefit of his signature to the proposed writ it was further settled to let him alone and not give him the opportunity of a re fusal, which might only complicate mat ters more. On the other hand, had a writ issued by any of the judicial func tionaries of this State been served on Maj. Gen. Miles here for the surrender of Jeff Davis he would most positively have dis regarded it. Whether the friends of Mr. Davis, in tho course of their deliberative sessions, took pains to ascertai 1 this fact I do not know; but this much I do know, that such would have been the course General Miles would have taken ir. the ! premises. Thus the case stands. Jeff. 1 Davis is still here, and bids likely to re- ■ main until powers that be, an-i the most exalted powers of the general government at that, ordain otherwise. Fears are expressed that Chinese labor will run out the white laborers in Califor nia. Several Railroad companies have discharged their white laborers and are employing these people, who work very cheap. There are now l'XhOOO and they are pouring into the country in great numbers. 3. c. THOJJPSOS. T. H. THOXl’SON J. C.
