U vi Idcr.ihle excitement was caused
here on Tuesday by the arrival of the;
colored appointee for the Mississippi ;
cadet-h p His name is Michael How
ard and Ii:-: pure African descent is un
mistakably manifested in his uhar black
complexion, large white eyes and
closely ei imped hair. Ilis personal ap
pearance is by nii mentis unprepossess
ing. In hclglitli ho is about five feel
four irfeaes; his figure is well rounded,
and li!.> carriage not at all ungraceful.— ,
Ilis countenance has a pleasant, shrewd
and resolute <jcpre.-.siou. It is quite;
evident that lie is aware of the peculiar I
position iu which lie is placed, and that ;
although sensitive, lie is not embarrassed
nor discouragt and. Ilis appearance as lie
wandered about the Plains, carrying in
his hand an immen-c carpet bag and in
quit ing the and lections to tho Comman
dants , fiice was somewhat amusing.—
lie. was p dimly informed that he was in
advance cf the appointed time, and that
new cadets could not be examined until

[Had he was informed that there were!
no aec mmodations lett, whereupon he j
went to the village of Highland Falls two j
miles bel <w and applied at Coazun’s llu- j

iii.-n there, but all the rooms were “en- j
gaged;' so lie had recourse to a c-dored
family who live near by, and who are
no--/ entertaining him. lie appears very
quiet hut apparently determined to

after having ("tight for tho Colored ta-e
both at the polle and on tho battle-field
while feeling kimHy toward him, speak
very duns t s illy n the expediency of this
venture. They regard it as a more do
oid vl advance of the colored man iutr
social (.iro’os than even the elevation of
Menutor Revels to Congressional ra'ik-
The position if the new cadet, if ac
copied and retained, must grow i ore
and 111 >ru embarrassing from his in.-, da

THE ENCHANTED mountain.
In one of the Noi theasieni C'CMiti s it
Georgia is a natural curiosity called
from the Indian tradition, the Enchan
ted Mountain:
The mountain is not large and there
is nothing rematkahle about it until yon
get on the top when human tracks, or
impiessijmn in tho solid reeks, which up
pear to be Imtnnu tracks are seen. How
those almost human tracks came to tie
impressed on (lie rock of tin’s mountain
is one ol tho mysteries of!Ms mysterious
hmd of outs. There were a great many
tiaditiona among the Indians in regard
to this monutuin lint none of them ar,
satisfactory, and il probably never u i
he known who it was that left th* ir
tracks upon the summit of the Enchan
ted Mountain. One of the Indian tra
ditions is curious for itshows that they
had a vague idea of'Noah's flood before
the advent of the while man. The sh ry
lias been handed down among the abori
gines that it was the landing place of
tho great, canoe, after the deluge, am!
iho tr teks were made by the p in
the canoe, a ■ they stepp. and ..nt i ;on th
r.-cks, which had been norde soft Uv the

tlio largest one is scveiili-eti and a In If
inches long. Unlike the others it h.-s
six toes. Tliis must hav * been N ah'-
track and if there was iinyUiing in lla-
Mosaic account of the fi ~ ,1 e rne rnii g
the s ! ZO if Noah'.-' set we might have a
confirmation at the Indian tradition.—
The siz.o of the track would indicate
that ho wore number eighteen--.
There are one liomlte.! and thirty s : x
impressions of feet and hands vh-iTde in
the f,ice of the rock. The sinaTet t loot
track is four inches in length and of per
fect shape. gDu’thnr Indian trndili uis
that a gloat battle was oncu fought
there and the largo track with the six
toes is that of the viol* ri"us command u-
