The Indianapolis Herald of the 12th contains a letter written at Leavenworth on the 8th inst.,, in which an account of an exploration of the celebrated * Dead Man's Cave,” situated near Leavenworth, is given. It contains several thrilling incidents, The exploriug party consisted of Major Throckmorton of Louisville, Capt. Holeraft, Sheriff Swayne, Dr. E. R. Hawn and Lyman E. Knapp of this place, Mr. Jesse Brandon of Nashsille, and 7% Herald's correspondent. The party proceeded to the sub- terranean river, which flows throngh the cave, when, says the letter, & cousulta 3 ler an aitewpt should be wade to cross in its present d Sherifi Swayne suggested an expedition, but were overruled by Dr. Throckmorton, Capt. Holeraft and Mr, Bran- ing the dengerous cLaracter of the attempt, declared they would rather h than abavdon sedition now, and stand the ridicule which such a ot would entail upon their heads. The boat was d. the doctor playfully remarking that some mel ) were destined to die enother death could never e <|m|l'n- d.

Captain Holeratt th returned, and soon brought over the re- mainder of the p ing the loration, the party came toa place discovered a deep cireular fiole, apparently al- ;nes dropped into its gaping mouth Iy plunging from side to- side, until the noise of their deseent was 1ost in the abyss far below.

The thoucht of b ing dmpriconed i that living tomb was 0o terrible to be endured, for we knew that, without light, we could never find our way back. A panic seized upon the party, and hastly leaving the doctor and Mr. Kuapp to their fite—for the doctor's body ainst Mr, Knapp's return ed the river and re- ply of oil, tools, cte., were pro- ed alwost to the poiut of dis- ability, we returned 1o the cave, determined to rescue onur comrades or perish in the attempt. The river was crossed, and we proceeded 1o the grand chamber where we had taken our luuch, accompanied by numerous eitizens of cavenworth. But, search as closely as we would, we could not find the gallery in which the doctor aud Mr. Knapp were entombed. In vain we explored and shouted, uutil worn out and fainting. All to no purpose.
