THE FESTIVAL.—We had the privilege of being present, last night at the Peach and Cream Festival, given by the Ladies of the 1st Presbyterian Church, and found every thing in choicest style. The peaches were ripe, luscious an'V abundant.,*

Jlrhe cakes, cream and oth

er fixtures were superb, the attendance was large, and all things passed off in a most pleasant manner. \Ve didjiqt learn the amount of receipts.*vv*

Row.—Michael Murphy, Porter at the Stewart House, last evening, pitched a brick into the cranium of Taylor, the Porter of the St. Charles, thereby ma-! tcrially damaging that very necessary' appendage, of the aforesaid TaylorfJ^I

Michael was introduced to the pros-• ence of Esq. Duy, who considered that Murphy should pay the County of Vigo, or City of Terre-Haute, $5, for his liberality, and upon failure to pay— handed him over to the tender mercies of Burnett.

Taylor, who was the aggressor, will, we understand be introduced to the halls of us is a on

vive,'

sleeping with one eye open.*' After retiring, we had not waited Long, whenJ We were conscious of thd approach of] some mysterious influence. As the'1 'midnight hour' drew...neAr, th'e niost 'fairy likis music' stole forth, sweet as —-"the voice of the Mermaid, as she floats o'er the Main

As she mingles her song With the -:i gondolier's strain." All within our housd was soon sensible of the presence of some dream dispelling influence, and as song after song arose in strains that would have drawn not only the denizens and firs of the mountains, but the mouutains themselves, we peeped forth from our casement, and saw a quartette of our young friends retiring from our window aud by the cut of their ,Coats and the Gage of their steps, we knew that to them we were indebted for the most recherche serenade, mortal was ever blessed with. Many thanks, come, not like angels, come often.

The Railway connection with Illinois at Terre Haute is complete, and now a man purchasing hogs at Alton for Cincinnati, Dayton, Cleveland or Louisville, tnay have them put through without ohange of cars.

A reward of five hundred dollars is offered for the hen that "laid a wager." One hundred for the "cat that was let out of the bag." Two hundred for the cow that "chewed the cud of sweet and bitter fancy." And three hundred and sixty for the horse that lives solely on the "wild oats" sowed by "fast" young men

THE MISSOURI COMPROMISE AND MR. CHASE—Last week, the Gazette said emphatically that Mr. Chase was in favor of the restoration of the Missouri Compromise. We challenged the Gazette to produce its authority for this statement, but no authority could be found for it. We also invited Mr. Chase to define his position on this point but, as we have before stated, Mr. Chase repudiated the Compromise altogether. He is not in favor of its restoration.—-Cm. Col.

Another Mammoth Cm SiiooT' •red. nort time since, a tremendous

rain having displaced lome loose rooks

at the base of Fort Hill, at Mackinac, a}*

soon as the news of this disco^ry be Pnd^»

came public, people came to see thT *PS .remfkod

curiosity from all quarters, and finally ,«erbread

a party, well armed and equipped, en-

tre, and stood fixed in astonishment.— The dome is 360 feet in length by 240 in width, and in most places 180 feet in height tho whole lit up by our numerous torches, yielded a scene Of splendor and lieaa'y not to be described:— The first object that attracted our attention at thi* far end of this temple was a white giant statue that imposed so completely on our senses that we ail exclaimed it must have been sculpturedby the hand of man, and to the right and left of this giant statue, sculptured as if sitting, giant statues filled the two half-circles of the basement of this stupendons dome. This must be the place, we again exclaimed, where the Indian Weta, ages ago, witnessed the giant fairies in the unearthly meeting.

After passing through allies, looking down here and there into the deep abyss, and viewing in haste, temples, palaras and chambers, and having also stepped over a small swift stream of cold, clear water, we finally, after some slight workguided by a dim light in front of us, excavated a place large enough for one to pass through, and found ourselves in Captain Scate's cave. The time occupied was about 5 hours, and the distance travelled in the cave was a trifle over three miles ,"
