Taking a narrow- path, I crossed through soma dense underwood, and all at ouee t stood on tLe bunk's of the YkulU spring. There was a basin of wtir one nundrt J yards in diameter, alujot-t circular: 'Th'e-thick b jVhes xere almost growing to the water's edge, an i Vowing lUeir head sunder the unrippled surface. 4 step pad into shifFand pushed of.

I am oocfident that tb piece could 'not be so distinctly seen from a iower :1SM) feet high. - We rowed on toward the North side, and suddenly .. we perceived ia the water, wbichTerf aarting hither and thither, theMong flexible roots and tbo wide luxuriant grasses oh the bottom, alt arrayed in the most beauti ful priema.tic bucj. .The gsot'e swell occasioned by the boat give to the whole an undulating motipn. ' Death like stillness reigned around, and a more fairy scene I never beheld." . . . : " So great is'th'e quantity oY water here .poured forth that it forms a river itself, large enough to float flat boats with cotton. The planter who lives here Las thus transported, his cotton to Stv Marks.".- Near tbe fountain we saw some of the remain of a mastodon, which had been takes from it. The triangular bone be low the knee measured six inch's on each side.
