When first discovered, and for many years
since, '.he wind from this cave issued from
several small horizontal holes in the side of tire
funnel, or "lime sink” m it too wns called,
among rocks and rubbish, (hat wholly obsrucieil
the view. Suspecting the true direction, how.
ever) my companion and my elf two nw»y the
rich earth deposited under our fuel by runouts
ofivator.from all ajdcs of the oavo.and noon dis
covered that the cava ivi immediately beneath
our feet, descending perpendicularly among
large block* of lava, that now fill up the ueck
ofthe crater. Cm excavation vvns very imper
fect; but still sufficient to show the direction,
end something of tho nature of the cave, which
oin now boseen descending dcoply and darkly
toward* the centro of the earth; going down far
enough, at least, to form an outlet fur the subi
.terraiteat) fire* that once raged beneath that
portion of lbe earth, and to Which we are, doubt:
less, indebted fitf the elevation <-r Florida, and
that pnri of Georgia from beneath the waters of
tho Atlantic. Our labors, ns wo (cited with our
heads downwards, were somewhat obstructed
by tho dust and trash that were blown back
wards into our faces, by the steady current of
wind,and which furccd us tv work with oureyes
shut.
It is said, and bo'ievcd. among the inhabitant
oft!m neighborhood* that tho wind blows out
of tins cave twlcvq hours, nml into it twelve
hours. Matty nssert, that ihey have witnessed
the fact; and in Coinequenco, suppose that the
current of nir is connected with the tides. The
cave evidently descends far Ijelow* tho; level of
tide-vvntor in the gulfof Mexico. But my’owJn.
observations/ (made at all hours of the day,)
lead m s to suppose the report is erroneous; ami
that tho winds always blow outwards. It is
probable, the opinion orginated m tho fuct, that
tlio wind very naturally varies in force nt differ
ent tunes; so as to bo scarcely perceptible nt
son.-c seasons of tho year.' This is caused, per
haps, by the increase or decrease of water in
some Biilucrrnnoun stream whi'dt full* into the

From the IRanm Mrsstngar,
We regret Mlcnrti that reports have recently
been put in circulation, in various parts ol'tlie
state, which tend greatly to injure the interest of
theCentral Rail Hoad Company. The substance
of them is, that all work on the road is discontin-
n?d.
We will only stnto with regard to thorn, that
(he work is now going on whit ns great rapidity
a* it ever has been .since its comineiicenipnt—-
that h-tween CO nml 65 m : les are complete, that
5 miles are completed every mouth, mid that II2
miles are either finished, or now grading. In
addition to this, 25 or -MI miles more will be of«
fered for contract in a few week*. There can
be no doubt blit the work will go oil to ils com
plctinn without any suspension or delay, no',
withstanding all the reports that its enemies may
choose tc put in circulation against it.
Siioil'd tho question be asked, Who are tho
individual* thus citing nguinxt the interest of
o ir city and tho rail road? wo belinvo tho reply
would not be a difficult onu to make. They ure
known, and their motives will be scannod, nnd
they will receive from the community such re-
turn ns the fiaaene** of their conduct merit*.
It in aurpiWng that many of those slanders,
(for ho wo consider ihem) in relation to this
jre«t project should luivo either their origin or
Ud coooteh.inced in bur-own city. It in well for
us td'Bd jdnloiD bfour 'rights, bu t it-i* the height
of folly to bo prejudicing our interest; by ontici.
paling n result which would be ruinous to our
city—tho discontinuance of thi* rond. Such
croaking and evil foreboding fittest becomes our
enem'e*. No true friend of Macon without sub
jecting himself to the imputation of being gov.
or tied by sinister motives, can predict such evil
to ns. Moreover it is doing gross injustico to
the directors and managers of this work, whoro
integrity and honor aie unimpeachable, for us
to discredit their positive declarations which from
limo to time have been given the public, that the
read.will be completed by tho shortest practice-
Mot onto, and at tho shortest possible time to
Macon. Onr friends wast of us may voly upon
our statement. Our facts wo have recently ob

ncciion with the institution, whose word is a

n long resolution, declaring among other things,
that tho people of any ofthe States haven* gnod
a right to petition Congrses for the abolition of
slavery in the District or Columbia or for tho
prohibition of die admission ofnny new slave
States into die Union, ns they have to petition
it on any. other subject. Another of the res-
elutions instructs thu Commilteo on theJirdi-
