 1hundering Spring.-In deep glen, in the north vest corner of Upson county, IS curious fountain, popnlarly known the IHundering Spring. It is situated in the middle of cany branch, at the bot tom of high steep hill. the basin of the spring is about ten feet over perfectly round with bright shin ing around it, resembling gold and silver belts, caused by the deposite of fine yellow sand and sin- glass. Though the sand bos up below with consi- derable vehemence the surface of the water is per- fectly smooth and transparent and runs off gently that it's current is scarcely perceptible, and many suppose that the water sinks fast as it rlses The transparency of the water extends about six inches below that bepth, it appears like boiling sand, soap kettle in state of ebullition. The water is nearly blood warm, and has slight sulphurous taste and smell The ebuon is so strong, that it is said to be impossible for person to sink Tn this spring Bathing there is said to be certain for rheu- matism and many cutaneous affections. The boil ing IS irregular, sometimes being scarcely percepti- ble, at other times strong and violent. The basin is said 10 be very deep, and many ignorant people suppose it has no bottom The most remarkable feature however about this spring, is low rumbling noise heard at short intervals, resembling distant thunder, or the low muttcrings of the tempest. This Spring was held in good deal of veneraton, | we are told, by the Indians, who imagined it the laboratory of thunder and storms, and they had an idea, that by agitang the water they could it to thunder and rain. Nearly the top of the hill over the fountain, is deep sink, pit, which they say was the former situation of the Spring and that the Thunder Spirit removed it down to the valley to hide it from the whites.-Macon (Ga.)
