( 'I he rumbling sounds, the detonations ! and shakings which have caused so much excitement and dread at llahl Mountain, j have brought forth many theories to ac j count for the causes. Some have supposed it the premonitory-sounds and <|uakini:? whjch olteh precede the 'eruptions <*f lire and melted Ja^a. Others have advanced the idea that" tht**inountain is composed' uipre or less-of limestone, and its bowels contain large eaves which from some cause or other arc falling in from above. The i jar and noise produced from the reverberations along these subterranean caverns, nomo think, is probably the true solution of' the mystery. Others believe that there are yet remaining several members of the i celebrated Lowry gang of desperadoes, j and since tlicy have been declared out- ; laws, they have taken to the cavcrus in the mountains, the passage to and from which, they only arc familiar with, and that they are obliged frequently to visifc , the open air, and to avoid observation and , detection they havo exploded large quan- j titios of gun powder in these caverns, sufficient to shake the mountains to its very ' base, and by this means frighten away the ] timid settlers around it. However plausible this theory may appear at first, still it is certain that it is not the truth, for it is well known how many there were who composed this gang, and also what has become of them all. ^o that this cmfnhc latter theory. Hut there is another, based on scientific knowledge, which is undoubtedly the true explanation of this perplexing phenomenon. Tt is .well known to every one acquainted . with ^acoustics and sound, that the uio- I merit it is produced, it disseminates itself in overy direction, unless it meets with obstruction to its passage, ami also that sound can be confined in n great measure i within certain limits and will travel in ; the direction the least obstructed Wc all know the marvels of this nature often *ituc3scd in a sneaking gallery.

LTh.o of the causes to explain this invstery.? Another link is, this Maid Mountain is in part limestone, and it is a well known fact that a stream of considerable magnitude discharges in one of the udjuit.ing mountains aud disappears. Fur such a stream there must l>e an underground course for a long distance. The underground c.urses and passage ways are quite common in all limestone region*. The yrcat cave in Kentucky is a ease in point everybody is f.i. miliar with. There can, therefore, be little or no doubt that the base of Kald Mountain is tunneled with these passages, made by the action of water on limestone, and that these passages extend for a long distance, 'discharging the water into the earth as it goes along. This must be so. otherwise the water carried along these subterranean passage ways would have come out m a volume somewhere. A part of it may. and probably does feed hundred" nf springs in its passage from the mountains to the lower lands. In traveling along the section of country from I laid Mountain to Uoggan's Cut, on the Carolina Central Kail road, it has been noticed tl at there are numerous springs of pure cool water of the same taste. Those who have considered all t'o^e things, together with one more important item in the calculation that, will be < .nsidered presently, have come to the i n elusion that there i? an uudergrnrM e.iurse from this mountain, extending and probably under. Koggan's Cut.
