Woven by Weber, the Elastic Wit-; IlCSti. Mwia4 1 ttie Em airer. Wasimsoto.n. Julv 3. K. weber, tho elastic witness, was further intcrro. rated before Potter'u conitnltteo to-day. His rauge of Infonnation ficeineti to ue without limit. lie seemed to know a little of everything, and was so ready to tell it tlwt his oaurticss, rather got away w th his ndirtneut. He Is a nueer makeiiii a sort of half intcllisjent tacc, with with asrood deal of rIiocii about It. lie is lutrdlv the character one would think that as 1'oxv a ncrsou as John bhcrmHii would rive nimscll away to, aim yet tin' witnes-s swore to several conversations tlmt Sherman had with the Returning! Hoard quite confidential, ono would think, in their nature. The most prominent point brought out to-day was a description of the celebrated Sherman letter. It was written oh note DHper. and covered all of the I est. and a twrt of the third page, skipplng Uie second. Another important

point was (hat Morris Marks, whom'tiiat it shall be absolutely executed

Sherman recently appointed Collector ofi Internal Kevenue at New Urleans, can-, ed on Mrs. Weber and endeavored to induce her to write a statemunt to the

leflect that the Shci man letter was ncvcriTho Democratic party fays, "No I in existence, and promised her that ifjof issue;" tho Republican' party has she did she should be appointed Post-rAll paper issue to be bank iss

mistress at Doualdsonvillc. Another striking piece of testimony was upon Weber's arrival in this city he was waited upon by a Clerk in the Treasury Department, who said that Secretary Sherman was well disK)cd toward lum (Weber), and would iko to have a private interview with liiu. This he refused. It was brought out, too, to-day that Captain Jetiks, tho husband of the female "hoss-marlne," tried to get Weber In I nil inn how hu whs irointr to lust 1 IV. adding: "If we testify all right wo will at New Orleans." Mr. Springer questioned weber with reference to the recent confession EH741 Pinkston.. Weber said he had read the confession in the New York Herald, and that ho believed every word of it was true; that he believed tho Eliza Pinkston outrage was a put up job. With reference to the fraud In the two Feliciana parishes, he said the re turns tiom thoni worts opened on tho 24th. It was common talk, and the ru inor oh the streets of New Orleans two or three days after the election, that we (the Republicans) had been beaten. Kellogg. Packard and Gen. Anderson requested tne to use my influence with my brother to see that ho made a protost. They said he would bo provided for. and that I would ho returned as elected to the Senate. Anderson 6aid I would bo all rieht. If mv brother pro tested against the vole of the parish hc-j lug returned. I was defeated by 1,200, majority, but tho Returning ltorrd re versed the majority against me and re turned me elected ny iw majority. The Republicans agreed before election that they would not make a canvass in East and west Feliciana; that they were

going Democratic, and that the parisne&fduction of the number of do-nothing of

Saltpeter Cnve.

About four miles west of Newton Stewart, in Dubois county, in a great natural curiosity called the "Saltpeter Cave." It is a projecting cliff of rocks (about 200 feet long, fronting towards the east, extending out about 30 feet. and about 40 feet liighfrom the floor. Jn the floor arc several very large rocks which have broken from the over-uang nag cliff above: and these, together with Abe height of the ciiQ and the wiiuucss lor the surrounding scenery (as it is sit uated in the heart of a vast primeval forost), gives it a very srrand and pictur esque effect. The iloor is covered with leaps of dirt and ashes. Miowiu-r that Huh was once a famous Indian cainniu&r kround. Scratching down about two feel with a piece of clapboard, we dis covered bits of charcoal, darn shells, abundance of deer hnnna. flint arrow heads and fragment of Indian earthenwaru. hut tlio most remarkab n th nsr kbout tho cave, and ono that attracts the attention of all, is a very perfect repre sentation 01 throe turtles sculptured up on one of the large rooks.
