TKS A decade is but as a moment in the lifetime of maskind, and yet wlat great changes, says the New York may be crowded into it. Locking back ten years in our own national history, wo are almost startled by the consrast between iyb and now. The aeath ot Uharles Sumner provokes these reflections.

Most ol the leading Senators, like Sumner, of 1S31 are dead," retired, or serving' the people in other ca2acitie3.

Whatever doubt and obscurity njay have been thrown around the financial condition of the country or its Tievp-tio Service in general or the Sanborn frauds in particular, will, it ia to Lc hoped, be cleared.np by the following c'Osing extract of 'a letter from he Secretary of the S.

That tbe utrifa is now 1 i oyer, ana your ciauns wecuieu, it I I 1 I I I cording to his owu account, is very much like that of other gentlemen in other countries who have soneht inter views with volcanoes as soon as they felt the movement of the earth and heard the noise of the explosions they wished they were over the hills and far away, and that right speedily. But to the story Captain Woodson tells: Having detailed, some few of the unimportant incidents of our trip, we will now proceed to tell what we know of North Carolina earthquakes, and tho volcanic or vulcanic disturbances in Stone Mountain That these reported disturbances exist in Stone Mouutain, there's not the least shadow of a doubt in other words it is an und? niab'e fact. We have seen, heard and felt them.

We, therefore, as above stated, propose to testify to what we have seen, in as plain, unmistakable language as we can possibly use, without even the slightest touch of varnish. irst, we will locate the seat of tue volcanic disturbances before stating the of the same, Acc. Stone Mountain, (as we will here after show,) the mam seat of the- dis turbance, is in the southwestern corner of McDowell county, and forms' a part of the Sugar Loaf ra-ige of the mountains, (a spur of the Blue Ridge,) which extends from the Broad to tho Catawba rivers, and runuinir from N. E. to S.

W. The three principal knobs of the Sugar Loaf range aro Round, Stone and Bald Mountains. Bald Mountain is th firstj commencing from the southwest, and is so-called ou account of its naked, bald appearance, as seen from a distance, though on its southwestern slope it is heavily tim bered, and its soil is as line and as pro ductive as the most fertile There are thirty-two farms on this mountain, the most beautiful of which is on the very pinnacle. Stone Mountain is second the range, and of course connected with the mountain chain. From the pinnacle of Bald Mountain to thepinnacleof Stone, the distance is about two miles.

Stone Mountain is uninhabitable except on its eastern slope. It is a cone or coni cal in shape, steep aud perpendicular on its western side and can only be ascended on its eastern side or from Bald or Round mountain. Its forma tion is stratified rock and covered with slim growth of small trees. Round Mountain, uext to Stone, though no more prominent thuu the rest ot the knobs of the' range, seems to have been dignified with title on account of symmetrical appearance. The range 2ti miles in leugth, extend.

ng from Broad river, iu Rutherford, county, through a corner of Henderson county, to the Catawba river in McDowell county. So much for the location; now for its volcanic propensities. We do not pretend to say or give it as our opinion that these constant disturbances in Stone Mountain are indicative of volcanic or vulcanic actions. We do rot kuow, and can't say what it is, but we have the proud consolation of knowing that learned scientists end geolo gists, who were with us on the moun tain, experienced the shocks, aim heard the reports and reverberations, know li.tle about it as we do, or are afraid express their opinion. The first report that was heard was on the night of February 10th, when the dwellings on JLJajd Mountain and the base of Stone Mountain were ocked from foundation to turret.

On the lltlr, 12th, 3th and 14th re ports and trembliiigscontiuued. There was never seen any smoke issuing irom the crevice3 of either Stone or Bald Mountains, and the factj that snow did not lay on Bald Mountain was because none fell at ail. The residents of Bald Mountain first became alarmed, as thev beneveu tuat tiie rumbling noise which caused sneh a shock to their proceeded from their Mountain, but when it wrfs ascertained that the shocks were more severe beyond Stone Mountain, they became satisfied that they were ot in imminent danger, Iiul f.ir frou being pleased or contented with tlie lutuation. On Bald Mountain w'tfl interviewed lev. Myers Iludgiuji, fho lived on ho pinnacle.

ile liael iijivcd on the th Mouutain for years had never heard ov experienced shocks before the eruptions. The residents on the; Juntaiu were greatly alarmed, and Sme had left while othe3 were prepaiaug to leaye. 4 A by a t'itlaen Sew Vork Agujiiat Use Italeisrh nd Anirustu Air l.iue It. aJnd Oll.ers.
