Transcript
VOLCANO! A letter from the westward, received in town, asserts that a volcano has burst forth in the Buncome mountains, either of this state or Tennessee, which throws up stones, ashes and lava. The light is said to be discernible at a considerable distance. Should the account prove correct we shall find no difficulty in ascertaining the cause of the late numerous earthquakes.
