Within the memory of mun there has been no long period when its manifestation was not observed. Dating trom tho time of the cession of Fioridato the English in 1763, in exchange for Morro Castle and Cuba, its exist- _@nce bas lived in men’s thoughts. Hunters and trap- pers of the era before the Revolution reported the Birange apparition, which they held im deep awe as a conjuration of the medicine inen of the M‘ccosukies, aud until the outbreak of the war with Osceola and Billy Bowlegs no oflort was made to determine its cause by investigation. Had it ceased to appear ut the close of the bloody Seminole struggle, an explanation might have beor offered for it which would hate challeug all dispute, An incident occurred during one of the final campaigns—i shull relate it bereafter—which vould’ have been accepted as proving its origin beyond foubt, But the apparition continued at intervals, «8 it always had done, and it 1s often seen at the present day by residents of this region, to whom it imparts as much of wonder, lear and anaccountable reverence as Could be expected in the nincteenth century anywhere outside of the shadew of the spectre of the Brocken, WHAT Is KNOWN OF THE MYSTERY. ‘The mystery is a smoke, Now, Nuttail defines ‘smoke’? as ‘a sooty exhala- tion—a steam.” Unodor this generous deseription, then, which [ accept, I will be content to employ t term. The origin, nature and locality of the gas or Vapor, or gaseous vapor, or vapory gas, or murky mist is yet to be discovered. The “Fiat, Piney Wooas” bordering the shore ot Appalacha Bay are low and marshy. ly a liberal ap- plicatson of the word they uro commonly called “gwamp,”’ but a horse can penetrate them almost to the coast if ho adhere in his course to the plateaux which lie between the cypress morasges. Overlooking them for many a long mile and directly to the north- ward is the most promivent of a series of rolling Pidges, constituting the cotton and cane lands of Jef- ferson county. It is called the Lion Hill, The cartiest traditions of tho mystery, alter those hinted by hun- ters and trappers as havivg been derived from the ln- d@ians, have come from successive generations of plant- ers and negroes who have dwelt on Lino Hill. The eminence is like a swelling bvillow oo the gundreaches of a fiat shore, It is clothed in picturesqueness. There are the soft contrasts of cultured flelds and oaken woods, of red and glowing soil and gray and Jawny stubble of the gathered crop: ‘The dwellingson Linn Hilt cannot be bid. They sit selt-complacently on its brow and gaze mildly aud with the aspect of revery over tho wide expanse of sdmbre pine foliage at its fect toward the scene, They have faced tho inystery for forty tong, sleepy years, which were but faintly disturbed by the snarl- ings of the civil conflict, and Jong vigilance seems to foree thei to blink with (he oppressive ellect of mys- tery weighting their fixed eyes, OBSERVATIONS PROM LINN MILL At variable intervals the inhabitants of Linu Hu! see @ black column of smoke rising from the depths of tne “piney” woods. Looking down und far away, as they do, they scem a troubled sea, dark and desolate. Every pine is aifferent in its features from its brother; but this great multitude of pines, massed far as tho cye can fee up tothe straight horizon in the south, offers no Jundmarks even to the most familar scratiny. A region indefinitely described by the natives bas never been explored. From Lina Hill you can only conjecture, at best, in what portion of the mup stretched betore you it lies, The phenomooun of smoke 1s usually seen Tising over that portion, and from this circumstance the. theory that it i caused by some natural wonder has Jong drawn its force, The oldest inhabitants describe itas resembling the black fumes from a locomotive. Somotimes itis but faintly visible, and then in a lew Woments increases im volume with astonishing tapidity. CHRONOLOGY OF THR MYSTERY, On the 2d of January vid General Whittield, of Monti- cello, one of the most respected and influential citizens Of Jefferson county, conversed with me on the subject of the strange smoke, which he had watebed for the past forty years. He formerly resided on Linn Hill, where he possesses a plantation, When he came to this country it was all the virgin forest. For some Years, during which he was engaged in reclaiming the Javd, he was oblivions of any strange phenomenon, Decause his house was surrounded by lofty pines, which permitted no view of the distant horizon, But When they were at last felled lis attention was at- Wacted at each recurrence of twilight, aa he sat upon Bis veranda watching the decline of the day, by a palpable smoke, curliag upward from the midst of the arvat, level wilderness, After its first appearance, Just before sunset, it would nearly always sweil in volume until it formed a black pillar of cloud, thereafter ho watched and studied its appearance, He consulied many of the hunters who roamed the ‘Fiat Piney Woods" and tho fishermen who plied their vo. tation in the waters of the Wacissa, Ocilla and St. Mark's Rivers, all of which flow within a few miles of the mysterious object. These men lived almost en- turely in the shades of the forest and had never seen tho smoke ; but they related, ns their successors do to- fay, startling stortos of the glow of a groat light in the fepths of the morass lying between the Pinhook aud whe Wacissa Rivers, which wax seen during very dark nights, General Whitfield, who is old and very whitely bearded, could never recall ovserving this nocturnal fire, Probably his habits bad veen very regular since the farther limit of his memory; but nis £0n says that he has olten done so. It wus a reflected brightnoss cast upon the sky. Planters who live on tho eastern bunk of the Wacissa tell similar tales, as do certain oystermen who abide on the Guil coast, SINGULAR ROCK FRAGMENTS, Although tho upland region of Florwia is nearly it ot quite devoid of rock, a débris of flint, porphyry ond silicious limestone is found im the flat woods, which has the startling property of flying into pieces with a sharp explosion when thrown into the fire, Much of the rock has a molten appearance and ts full of globular ceils, which might have been formed by bubvles of gas when it was subject to intense heat. A line of ledges and crags of this description extends Irom the ‘Gray Wave,” a landmark dubbed by the Const Survey, whieh 1 situated on the shore, near St, jark’s River, through a chain of the worst jungics in the flat country and across the Wacissa River, at a point whore a channel for boate was once cut by blasting. A peculiarity of the smoke is that it is impossible to n predict when It will be visitle or invisible. i have vis- ited Linn Hill several times ou the clearest and calinest days, but never succeeded im bebolding it, Yet the witnesses Who bave observed it for many years are so humerous and their testimony so much alike that I could not refuse to accord to it a frank credence. + THRIFTY, NKGRO, ‘There dwells on Lina Hill a-thrifty negro, with his three sous, who bas industriously obtained « ‘arm of his own, measuring 500 acres, aud enjoys better credit than most of the white planters. He is known as “Old Man Richardsoi Un January 41 went to bis house to question him about the smoke. The ride was eighteen miles in length, in an atmosphere brilliant with the bope of spring, and past forests and planta- tions sleepily conscious of awakening life, Turning from the road which leads to Newport we rode along the brow of the bill. At the end of » short lune stands humble, weather-stained cottage. It is covered by the shade of orange trees, With branches brode, lade with leves newe, ‘That sprongen out agen the sunne sh Some Very red and some aglad light greue, Here dwells ‘Uncle’? Richardson and formerly dwelt his helpmate, Mahala, before she ‘‘went an’ jined the band.” Unele Richardson is atypica! Ethiopian, His skin Is of atustrous ebony hue and hia features are strong and full of character, His eyes have an opaque shrewdness of expression, which, in the African race, 1s the symptom ot a sagacity akin {o the worldly wis" dom of the Yankee. Hischin is immense but does not jut forth and its form wears the stamp of an fron development, His physique is euch as would have shone well in the auctioncer’s arena in the days of bondage. Old Richardson has well used the blessing of freedom in gaining an independence. His head is crowned by a’ short growth of grizzly hair, ‘There is a kindly expreasion pervading the whole figure which accords weil with the titie of “Uncle.” When he talks you bebold an enormous width of mouth, which reveals a series of tusks, the hke of which are rarely seen in man, They areas large ag those of a vear and of s duzaling whiteness. Thero 18a vacapcy, however, in the front of the line, which is the record of 4 sturdy tussle with a whilom overacer in the good old days of siavery In looking at the heroic mould of the old negro one could imagino with what fortitude he toay have waited for the dawa while he wrestied with’ the tyrant shapes of night, 4 DESCRIPTION IN THE VERNACULAR, Our first question about the mystery was cnough to open the sluice of bis knowledge, and a mingled Stream of exaggerated intormation and ejaculatory wonder flowed theretrom, His sons grouped around him respectiuliy, and we listened. He addressed my companion as ‘Jedgo’” and me by the Icss definite title of “san!” “Yuna, 1’se done seen aa smoke over since'l’se a by, gwine on now dis tirty, forty years, I’se seen it for long, long time, an’ never would ha’ thought nothin’ of it nohow, p'rhaps, had not de Jedge hyere called my observation to it, Den, 1 has watched for it ever sinco and bas taken big note of how it has done looked, Ib "pears like ay it comos werry quietly at Qrst and dew gits moa, und moa for ’bout a week, Sometimes tt rolls up like de smoke trom a steamboat; but de last time 1 seed it it seperated into five large prongs 0” smuke, urter risen ’bove de trees, Den, sab, I’'se oftea duce seen a big red ght to de night in de same direcuon,’” ‘This was the gist of bis contribution to our informa- tion, which, in response tu further inquisition, was diversiied in repetiuon by emphatic expressions and xesticulatious. Identically the same account, except in the Jorins of narration, 18 told by hundreds of ne- grocs. ‘THX THKORIES. Now for the theories which have been entertained by intelligent men who have studied tho features of the mystery, They are (ew, meagre and crude. Must of the elderly inhabitants of Jefferson county’ imorely shake their heads over it and do uot ventare more, Some skeptical minds ascribe the smoke to the pres- ence of bunting parties in the jorest. But there aro jow so bold as thus tooutrage the traditionary rever- ence due to the apparition, Others hint that it may arige from the chimucys of several “corn crackers” living many miles from other setilers, But it is as_ serted that a volume of smoke produced by a kitchen tire could not be seen at all at so great a distance from the bill of observation, much less probable is it that it would appear 1n such a huge and conspicuous columa, is If A VOLCANO? Then pure speculation steps inand avers that it might be a voluano whica bas thus mysteriously taunted its black banner for 80 many generations with- out discovery, The superficial wind will, perhaps, suggest that there would be corrugations of the earth’s surface in the vicinity of a volcano, especially uf it were somi-extinct, fur such a cundition would imply that its.primo of activity lad pussed and that there most remain about it heaps of dévris cast up from Vulean’s vast smithy. The theorist, however, can strengthen hiy position by illustration, The low land is closely allied to the ocean, Estuaries stretch into it and are connected with marshes which feel the ebb and flow ot the tide, There are evidences that the whole region was once the floor of agea and that, too, not much earlier than tho drift period, VOLCANIC ANNALS. Instances of volcanoes appearing in mid-ocoan, creating islands which afterward disappeared, are numerous, Where the sea has acted upon the déoris of the eruption it 13 usually levelled to the common bed, In 1783 a volcano spurted up through the sea off the const of Iceland clouds of pumice and ashes, which covered the water for the space of 150 miles. Tye Istand af Nyée was formed, but its christening by the Danish government proved wle, tor it disappeared in Jess than twelve months, bat left a reet of rocks | behind, Sabrina was a volcanic island formed jn 1851, near the Azores, its cone rising 300 tcet above the water; but the waves soon devoured it. In the sea off the southeastern coast of Sicily thero was, about 1829, 100 fathoms of water. In 1831 an island appeared and ejected lava, cinders and Tocks, Its greatest altitude was 200 feet and its cir- cumterence three miles, 1t sunk in a few months. The theory of a volcano js just as probable in connec. tion with a flat and marshy region as with the ocean, ‘The theorists hold that the billows washing over this region in the pliocene age may have levelled whatever débris (bere ever bad accumulated from sabmariue volcanic ercptions. Thus they demolish the negative argument that there ure no evidences of such action, ‘Tho tragmonta, they say, sunk and sank und became deeply imbedded tn the soft alluvium of the sea floor. They point to the belt of flinty déuris, to which I have alladed, us the possible fruits of later eruptions which have not wholly disappeared in the slime of the mirsh, These rocks are not strictly volcanic, but, if their characteristics are to be £0 simply explained, they may be srid to bave taken an ingenious bath—to have tumbled into a subterrancan lake of molten matter—to be heaved up us suddenly as if they had disagreed with the earth’s digestion, Several legends, which 1 shall retee to more fully in another etter, are told which tend color to the volcanic theory, Is If oO? Many persons of influence and means have been at- tracted to the mvstery by the bope that its solution might involve the discovery of a source of great wealth, ‘They have indulged the idea that it rose from a barn. ing spring of petroicum, Florida has shown elsewhere positive evidences of the existence of the oil, although she is not known to possess any beds of coal. 18 IT A NATURAL GRUCIBLE? Another theory which hus beech advanced is that the smoke is produced by the contact of sulphur with tron, Thero arc many mineral springs m Florida, The waters of some are strongly impregnated with sulpbor and that of others with iron, Supposing that two streams of water thas impregnated had made mingled deposits at a point where they meet, and that the channels afterward changea, the chemical action caused would produce a gas whose fumes would vear a resemblance to smoke, THERMAL SPRINGS. A very probable belief is that the apparition is com- posed of dense clouds of sulphurous vapor rolling up from several thermal springs, such as those existing in the Yellowstone Valley and in Icoland, Individuals who profess to have ponctrated furthest mm the unex. plored region of the great swamp describe an in. cessant roar which filled their cars, This may be caused by the rushing of the steam and gases upward, as is the fact with tae wonderlul geysers of 1 nd, ‘The indications that give weight to the volcanic theory might apply with equal force to this, as the two poe. homens are supposed to be very nearly allied. A GABKOUS EXHALATION, ‘Still another theory is that a gas rises from a chasm, prodaced from an ancieot land-sink, which, on ming- Ming with the air, is involved sn instantaneous combus- tion, Judge White, of Quincy, advances this explana. tion, He is one of the many who have tried to find the | has been a marked reduction in the prices of books | mystery, but baye been per eames by the difficul- ties of the enterprige. 18 1f A DEN OF couEs? A more romantic idea than any of those mentioned {8 that the morasses of the Pin Hook may still serve agen asylum for fugitive slaves, who have never beard as yet the tidings of'emancipation. Many such from year to year disappeared trom the sight of their masters, whom they deserted, and as the bounds never tasted their blood nor did they ever return, tt ‘was supposed that pumas or aligators had them for their prey. The bitterness of their desperation might never bave permitted them any thought of returning tothe common haunts of mankind, and they could rea- dily readopt the methods of life which had belonged to their kindred iu Caffraria or Guinea. The bigh im- probabilyy of this theory does not detract trom its charm tor those who eutertain it, [tis supposed that they have established themselves on a dry hammock or island in the most impenetrable portion of tho watery wilderness, and that there their camp-fire a the cause of all the woadermont and speculation which ‘has been described. If Florida were uiflicted by brig- ands, it might be plausible that they have their strong- hold ip these morasses, but she !s troe from such an evil, 19 IT AN 1GNIS Pate! ‘The last theory to which | sball rofer is that which BUggests the existence of some phosphorescent vege- tation, or forms of animal life, which muy cause the Great light described by the fisherman of the Wacissa. 1 am inclined to accept such an explanation, and call it an ignis fatuus, or Jack-o’-Lautera, entircly distinct from the other phenomenon, the discovery of the cause of which 1s the object of the Hxnaip’s expedi- tion, There is a strong probability of its andingo merely contirming the expression of Hamiet— There are more things«in heaven aud earth, Horatio, ‘Than ure dreamt of tn your philosophy, I shall soon narrate, in @ future letter, previous efforts which have been made with the same end in view, LITERARY CHIT-CHAT. ‘The 400th anniversary of the introduction of print- ing into England by Caxton will be celebrated by an exhibition at Stutioncrs’ Hall, London, under the patronage of Earls Spencer, Russell, Aberdeen, &c., who will loan for the occasion many precious and rare specimens of typography.
