From the Ctutha F/ee Press w o some , days ago extracted an article r< ferriog i to the encroac' ments THE STRUGGLE of the sea on Otago, OF EARTH AND and showing that the SEA land was lower now than it was fifty years- ago, and that the sinking process wa3 still going on. There is nothing new m all this. On August 15 a cable reached us giving the news that the ; ancient town of Deal is threatened with submersion by the encroachment of the sea. That fact and the facts recorded by the Free Press only rt mind us of a fact m the physical history of the earth which is apt to be forgotten, or at least overlooked, namely, that change is con- stantly going on, however imperceptibly, and that the struggle of earth and sea is as ceaseless as the flight of time. On the who'e, however, the earlh is more than maintaining its own m thia end- less contest. A series of 30 marks was made, m 1851, on the Baltic coast, , from Tornea to the Naze of Norway, and m 1884 these were examined by a commission of the Swedish Academy of Science?. By these observations it was established that the movement of elevation was contained m the north, and that of depression at the southern " extremity of the peninsula. About Kalinar and Karlskrona no change of level could ho detected as having occurred within recent ye*rs. But since 1750 it was proved that the head of the Gulf of Bothnia bad risen at the rate of 1.170 metre per century, This rate of elevation declines progressively towards the sou: b. It is not mere than 0 80 of a me^re at the Naze, and it is zero at Bornholcn. Ihe mean elevation of Ihe Swedish coast is thus 1 60 metre per century. From these and a host of simitar data, no doubt can exist regard- ing the rise of the Scandinavian Peninsula, and inferen'ially there was a period when tbe Arctic Ocean communicated wiih the Baltic. The Japanese It-lands are also lisingr, and many districts around the Sea of Aral and the Caspian are m a similar plight, according to evidence equally conclu- sive. In more southern regions data equally cogent are ready to our hand. Crete has risen 17t'fc above its ancient level ; the old Greek ports are high and dry ; and limestone rocks, which the sea never touches, are to be found pierced by a species of shell fish which bores into stone, though, it noa'y be added, so little can any law bo forruuUt* d regard- ing these areas of alevati >n and subsidence that on the eastern side of the island the ruins of several Greek towns may be seen under the water. Muiij.e she Is f• r above the higi ©Bt tida 1 mark are f und plentifully along the shores of South America, commenc- ing at Terra del Fuego, and along the west coast for a distance of at least 2,000 miles, and m patches probably as far north as the Ibthmus-of Panama, these evidences of upheaval being de- posited at elevations varying, according to Darwin, from 300 ft to 1,300 ft over the sea ievel. The raised sea. beaches, which are taken as i roofs of the rising of the land, a~e found not only around the places already noticed, but along the outer const of Norway, South Ameiica — at Cuquimbo, for example — and along many parts of the shores of Great Britain. At Brighton, for instanc?, there is a marked specimen c f this m the cliff* easfe of Kempton j while Robert Chambers wrote an ela- bora'e work, mainly descriptive of those to be traced along the Scottish coasts at all heights up to 100 It above the present sea level. Again, though belonging to tho same class of proofp, the elevation of the coast here is indi- cated by cave?, formed by the constant dash of the waves, being found along the coasts of Scotland, near Oampbel- town, and Neill, m Oanfcire, for ex- ample, at places far above the reach of the sen, which leaves the basp of the cliffs m which they are excavated. In Natal upheaval is still gomg on, and the eastern coast cf Africa is generally belii ved to be rising ; Australia, on the north east, if not on the whole of the east coast, is rising. Until a very late period m tbe geological history of Tasmania, tho site. of Hobartown was covered by the sea ; and m New Zea- lar.d, though there is an area of depression on the extreme north- western poinf, the mass of the land is rising.

THE CONh(E[Pi'S ♦ ■ (Continued.) maud, Coleman fell m with a young New Englander uamed Snow, who was serv- ing m a Mississippi regiment, and who waa teaching the children of a rich planter near Natchez when the war storm burst on that state. Snow had been dotailed to serve as a olerk at the commanding general's headquarters, and so was thrown into freqnent oontaot with Coleman. The young men b'eoame warm friends from the first, and grad- ually they oonfided, the one to the oth- er, their sympathies m the contest. These men were admirably situated to learn the exact condition of affairs m Bragg's army. Indeed it is doubtful if the offioers on Bragg's staff knew as muoh about the strength and equipment of that army or of the general's purpose as did theW two clear headed, shrewd young fellows. They accompanied Bragg on his sweeping raid into Ken- tucky m the autumn of 1863. Before this it had been agreed between them that at the proper time Snow should de- sert, carrying with him the key to the Confederate signal oode and suoh other information as might be of use to the Union cause. The southern sympathizers m Een- tuoky were so sure that Bragg and Kirby Smith had come to stay that they in- augurated a governor after their own heart, but his rule ended when the Con- federates had filled their wagona and ex- changed their broken down horses and mules for the best animals m the blue grass country. In the confusion follow- ing Bragg's retreat from Perry ville Snow was lost He had gone into a barn near Danville to sleep, and he slept on till he was aroused by the prod of a bayonet. He started up and saw a bronzed man m blue before him, a pri- vate of the Thirty-third Ohio, of Sill's i brigade. Snow, annouuoed himself as a deserter from the enemy and asked to be taken to the headquarters of the nearest gen- eral officer. This request was complied with, and he was taken before General McCook. That officer examined him, and at first was not inclined to believe his story. He was kept under guard and continued on with the army till the pur- suit of the Confederates ended m the mountains of southeastern Kentucky, but during that time he had had oppor- tunities to read and interpret the sonth- ern signals, and when it was found that his reports were correct he was kept at headquarters till all he had to impart was learned. It had been Snow's intention, after reaching the Union lines, to go directly to his homo m Massachusetts, there to remain till the war was over, but influ- ences were brought to bear on him that caused him to change his mind and in- duced him to take up a calling that ended m death. Coleman continued with Bragg's army, still obeying orders and still plan- ning to aid the cause of the Union. When ho parted with Snow m Ken- tucky, he was' convinced that if he ever met that young man again it would only bo when the war was over. Great, then, was his surprise, a few days after reach- ing Chattanooga, to see his friend re- porting for duty. Snow told his old associates that he had been made prisoner by the Union forces m Kentucky and had escaped from them, a fact that added to his popular- ity and banished tho lingering doubts as to his fidelity which many who knew of his antecedents had, but to Coleman he told the truth. He had returned to his old place, the better to help the cause of the Union. These friends were now drawn oloser together, and their intimacy would have exoited attention, had not Coleman, who was the oalmer and more masterful of the two, controlled their meetings so that their conferences were unobserved. If Snow had not returned, Coleman would have deserted at the first oppor- tunity, and he was just the man to make an opportunity if he could not find one to his hand. They remained about the headquarters till the latter part of December, when once more the Union and Confederate forces stood face to face ! to the south of Nashville, and there be- I gan that series of sanguinary engage- ments that ended m the battle of Stone Eiver. About the middle of December, to the great surprise of Coleman, the Confed- erate signal code was changed. He in- ferred from this that General Bragg had become aware that his signals were be- ing read by the other side. Coleman and his companion were among those suspeoted of communicating with the Union forces. They could not see that they wei» being watched, but they shrewdly suspected it and governed themselves accordingly. Before tho new codo had been m use a week Coleman had mastered it, and he at once became eager to communioate the key to General Rosecrans, who had superseded Buell m command of the Army of the Cumberland. After a good deal of watching Coleman found the means of communicatng his seoret to his friend. "I want you," he said to Snow, "to get through to the Union lines as soon as possible, certainly before the pending battle comes off, and, once to the other side, make your way to your old home m Massachusetts and stay there till the trouble is over. We are suspeoted, and when it is discovered that the Union signal men are reading our code sus- pioion m our case will become a certain- ty. If you never come baok, I will re- gain the confidence which I feel I have partially lost." j "But do you proDOSe to remain with the Confederates till after the war?" asked Sacw. "No, "was the response. "I shall keep on for awhile longer, and when I oan go through and be of use to our friends they will find me with them." Knowing tho danger of carrying pa- pers about his person if he failed m his purpose, Snow committed to memory the facts communicated by his friend and then waited for his chance. On the 29th of December General Bragg visited his extended lines, and. darkness found him about a mile to the Bouth of Lavorne, which was tben held (to.be continued.
