Amongst the precious . lessons conveyed in - the Masonic lectures, none i9 better impressed than that of the vnlue of the Sabbath.

The following, explain- ? iog the physical value of the Sabbath, is well put together for the readers of the National Freemason: j "a, -.r;Fir,The simple rest from labor, by which wearied bodily powers may be f restored,makes this institution beyond . estimate valuable. .Week day efforts run the' machine down ; the Sabbath winds it up. v .'-:!. r : .:.: ' S: A The reaction upon the body of the rested,- refreshed andr eali vened men ml : powers which Sabbath rest secures, is of great value to the physical system., 3. - The Cleanliness which a well kept Sabbath ' always brings, in connection with, changing of apparel, &c.,' is evidently favorable to health and vigor. ' 4. The honored Sabbath powerfully lepulses every , "species of vicious indulgence, and favors all those virtuous Lab- : its which so strongly befriend men's ' physical welfare. ' ' - '' 4 , S.'The most satisfactory experiments have shown that a vastlygreater amount " of physical labor can be accomplished with the rest and refreshment of the Sabbath than can be without it. , 6. The, same has been verified in reference 1 to : laboring animals, such as horsesoxen, fcc Hence the laws of the ' Sabbath expressly , mentiomag them, ' "Thou, nor thy cattle." J''T. Every species of human Industry is befriended by the Sabbath's regularity,returning rest, restoring wasted powers, invigorating wearied faculties, and putting the human engine in proper order for the demands made upon it. by the succeeding labors of the week. Hence both the wisdom and benevo-s lence of God beam forth in the institu- ' tion of the SabUath.

7uST AND FEAR NOT! LET ALL THE RICHMOND, W COMMUNIC ATIONS . - - For the Palladium. rA Lost Race Skelletons. - ' Messrs. .Editors: Have we any corred. knowledge of those who 'have inhabited our country ? Is a querj that impresses itself on my . mind,' and the auswer to it is left ; for future develop.! ments, and wilLremain a query,' unless someone can, in searching the musty, records -of: the past, find a race of. men whose customs were- similar ; to those whose remains were disinterred a short time since -a brief account of which is the subject of my communication, v ''We may talk at old settlers meetings, Of th rod man,-who roamed "the" wilds of this country the white, whose enterprise caused them to make the .'wilderness bloom and; blossom; but" all this will give but a faint idea of the races of men who ' evidently lived and died antf rior to either the red or white th& reil aborigines. - -During this summer' ancl fall, I have made some discoveries', that ma)' throw some light on the question. In opening a gravel bank; (for constructing a pike,) located on a high range of upland country, two and a half miles west of the west fork of Whitewater, and one mile north-east of the south-west corner of this county, the remains of some lost r.tee'of men were very unexpectedly exhumed -Having advanced some rods iuto the bank, and obtained a depth of gravel of about twenty-two feet, and to the deptli of 7 to 9 feet from the surface, as the gravel would cave down, it showed signs of having been moved or excavated and filled. Some , places phowed that both square and round boles had been dug. Upon a careful examination, fire coals were found in almost every place where the earth appeared to have been moved. Some places presented the appearance of a basin, some six feet in depth, where wood had evidently been burned, until several inches of coal and ashen had accumulated at the bottom. Still continuing our examinations, as the gravel was hauled away, and as it caved down from the bank, an opportunity was given us to push our researches fnrther back in the hill. One day a dark looking spot showed itself in the gravel, dx feet below the snrlace. Upon removing the gravel that had this dark appearance, small pieces of a skull bone and the entire under jaw of a human being, with every tooth complete and sound, were obtained. The jaw-bone appeared to be that of a very large and old person the age being indicated by the teeth beicg worn down no other iones of any other part of the frame were found at this point ; but in tracing the gravel upward, which was of a circular form, a limy appearance - in? the gravel was , plainly perceivable, indicating the entire decomposition of the other bones. r i " t u The next slide of gravel; and about ten feet from the place where the remains of departed humanity were first obtained, exhibited another dark spot in the gravel, nine feet from the surface. A ladder was obtained, and ascending to the place, 1 with my hand, I carefully commenced removing the gravel from below the "discolored earth, which was composed of fire-coals, ashes and burnt human bones. ' I bad not proceeded upward far, until the top of n human skull appeared. Gently removing the gravel from around the head, to ascertain the position in which it lay, I found the under jaw resting on top of the &iuii, with the teeth of the upper and .lower jaws fit'ing together almost as neatly as when this stranger possessed life and nil its physical powers complete. Upon this head lay the breast, ribs, neck, and back bones, with the upper and lower bones of the arms reclining on and against the face the hands and finger-bones in about the same position ; upon the top of all these, lay the hip plates and thigh bones,1 and still higher up in this grave were the shin, ancle, feet, and toe bones. From this grave, whleh had been dug in a circular form, about thirty inchestn diameter, we exhumed the remains of four full-grown huaian beings, who had been buried in this hole ,or grave, in a perpendicular position, totih (heir head downward a position that we have no historical account of any nation, or race of men, thus disposing of their dead,, excepting one in the vast Chinese Empire,"who believe in the doctrine of the resurrection of th same physical, body, in the epoch of time. Their philosophy for this mode of burial is, that, when -this time shall arrive, the earth, will be turned upside-down, aed they want their People to be standing upon their feet, in the morning of the resurrection ! There is nob a particle of enamel matter about these bones the phosphate of lime is all that is left which leaves them so brittle that it was with great difficulty they could be exhumed without crumbling to atoms -r the teeth,, however, not

The great qaestion arises : Who were these men, and at what age of the world did they live ? The roving bands of red-men of the great Mississippi Valley, have left some tradition or mark whereby, their race can be ascertained almost to a certainty; but in the case of these men of whom I write their custom of burial the charred human bones charcoal and ashes thrown into the bottom of the grave as it were a pillow for the head to rest upon, i3 a mode of performing the last sad rites to'frail humanity, that we have no hiatorical or traditional account of. Possessing All the fond hopes and desires that we have and enjoy, the fact is obvious that a race of men have passed away, leaving about their last resting place, no signs, hieroglyphic, or work of art, to index their st.-.te of civilization, or, show they ever had an existence, excepting the bony parts of their own bodies. OTHNIEL BEESON. . At Home, (near Milton, Ind.,) Nov. 11, 1867. for tiie Palladium. Education and Educators. The formation of our manners and customs, our babits, and our opinions, our knowledge of men and things con nected with this life and the life to come, ma)' be regarded as the instruction necessary to a proper Education of the humanthe religious, physical and intellectual man. And, since the " greatest Btudy 'of man is man," and since, also, the developement and perpetuity of all needed blessings depend on bis Education, it is strange, 'passing strange,' to us when we look abroad on community and note the indifference to the cause manifested by lawyers, doctors, priests, &c ; while it seems there are many of these classes have no excuse for their indifference unless it is that their Jiumlugery can best be practiced among the ignorant and less informed. The quack in medicine may ever be found in the darkest and most ignorant corners of the world, seeking , subjects for his imposition. If physiology was taught in every family and all made acquainted with the laws of our physical being, we might "throw physic to the dogs," and bar out all mountebanks from human society. The lawyer who has little regard for a proper Education, may always be found in the midst of sin, himself 'the greatest sinner. Where whisky abounds such lawyers much more abound: for they know' full well that the grogshops, furnish the crime and delinquincies that sustain the profession hence they are opposed to Temperance, and every moral reform. It may be set down as a fact, that each bar is dependent upon the other for a support. Among the ministers of the gospel we find many true to God and humanity; but there is a class of those who minister in sacred things, as false as false can be. ; Such are controlled by 'bread and butter;" and if they ever say anything gut the subject of reform, it is to howl out their execrations agninst the true reformer, brand him with " infiicljVy," and hedge up his way, and keep the people igiionnt of truth, and prejudiced them against education. Others there are,, whose theology is so illiberal and repugnant to common sense, that, 8hon!d the laity erer become intelligent enough to. comprehend the enormities, of their crime they would revolt; hence, we find such giving but little support to the cause of Educat'on. In this respect the politicians are not less, guilty. Many editors, legislators, and gbvernors of our States, are nothing' but political tricksters, and do a!l in their power to prevent the people being Educated up to a point that would enable them to detect tbeir villainy. i , The. classes sroken of are not the friends of Education especially are they opposed to that which enables a ! man to know his rights, and knowing dare maintain tfttm. Such are never found giving their presence and influence in supporting normal schools and teachers associations ; and it is- a very rare thing to find them among our visitors,, in common or other schools. This sad. truth should be impressed on the minds of all who love their country, that " a republican form of government ean only be

Then let us appeal to all in favor of that Education wl ich regards truth and honesty, and a conscientious respect for the rights of all. "We shall refer to the Elucators next veek, and suggest a few things for their consideration. PAUL. Politics in the Pulpit. A newspaper paragraph-.asserts, we cannot say with how much' truth, that not fewer than one thousand political sermons were preached Sunday before last ia Massachusetts. " Without donbf there were many" discourse there of the kind many, appeals to -the citizens to vole morally and religiously many demonstrations of the "concm rence Tof religious and civil duties ;s but r it must at the same time be observed tbat in this there was no novelty, for ever since the foundation of the State during the old Colonial days, the period preceding the Revolution, the Revolution itself, and the contests of the Federal and Democratic parties political preaching was both common and vehement, while in more modern times the pulpit took a constant part in the discussion of the Kansas Bill and the Fugitive Slave Law. This interference (as it was termed) of the clergy with secular affairs (as they were termed) gave great pain, a few years since, to the Pro Slavery Conservatives, who were uncommonly eager for the preaching of a pure and simple gospel with no adulterous admixture of pro fane elements. The grumbling wasj grievous, but the preaching uaturally went on, for the simple reason, we sup pose, that moral and political questions had become identitjal. We cannot very easily imagine a sermon upon the tariff, or internal improvements, or the resumption of specie payments ; but to preach upon Slavery, and the questions connected with it, was the natural impulse of a conscientious and benevolent pastor. When the Rebellion came, we were not sorry to have the pulpit upon the side of the Union, urging enlist ments, entreating rich men to lend their money to the Government, encouraging the Sanitary Commission in all ways promoting the righteous cause of loyalty; and now that practical hostilities are over, has the duty of the pulpit become less because peace has made our controversies more exclusively moral ? The truth is, our American politics, more perhaps than those of any other nation, are based upon fundamental ideas of right and wrong. In many other countries there is no pretense of conscientiousness in public affairs, and therefore no opportunity for appeals which here are' pertinent and natural. The very men who sneer at the cousciences of their opponents profess to have lively consciences of their own." This arises, in part, from that personal responsibility which the establishment of Universal Suffrage entails. The power of voting implies a duty ; and to be swayed by motives of mere interest, to make merchandise of the ballot, or to desert, avowed principles, is hardly less than a flagi. tious crime. Th's gives to the pulpit the right to speak upon topics which primarily seemed quite alien to its sphere to rebuke the false, to censure the sordid, and to denounce the timid and time-terving. . The truth is, we have never heard any stickler for pulpit proprieties complain when the preaching was upon his side. Conservative politics are esteemed especially lovely in the sacred desk.There was no censure from the fastidious for the clergyman who found an apology for Human Slavery in Genesis or Exodus, or in the Epistle of Paul to Philemon. The preacher who charged the Abolitionists with scattering firebrands, arrows and death, va9 esteemed only a faithful sentinel by a largo class of his parishoners. We can remember when this sort of sermonizing was in the highest fashion even in New-England pulpits. Thirty years ago the Anti-Slavery clergymen were a mere handful,, and it was thought to be an extremely courages act when the excellent Channing ranged Limself upotv the side of justice and humanity. Boston merchants said that he must undoubtedly be thinking of going into political life and. of running for Congress! It required nothing less than the Kansas iniquity to turn the tide and to make clergymen understand the true bearing of the question. It would be curious to inquire, if tha subject could be so much as entered upon in these columns, how much preaching has been political since the establishment of Christianity.

Tribune. - -i ' ' : j The people of Lafayette,; Ind., had a grand wood-sawing tournament for the benefit of the poor in that city, recently, Four ,;nines", entered for the contestaa follows : Young Men's Christian Asto-. ciatioii; nine ; Hoosier ; Base, Ball Club" nine; Unknown (Fenian) nine; and In dependent nine. , A;big procession .was formed, i headedj by .a hbaod of music, which escorted the? four, piaesto the wood-piles which had been , enclosed by a high fence. The sawyers marched to the place with their saws at what the military call fright shoulder shift." Four piles of wood were built, each containing nine cords, and , each " nine" attack? ing a pile. ; The time exhausted in sawing the wood, ranged between three and four hours. A large . crowd of ladies and gentlemen were present, cheering the contestants in their labors. Besides the thirty-six: cords of wood thus provided for the poor: over one hundred dollars from other sources were realized. The whole contest was one of the most interesting and exciting character, and Wood-sawing Tournaments, for the benefit of the poor, we, think are destined to become a popular institution in the West. , '

In reference to the manufacture of beet sugar, it appears that the average production of refined sugar per acre is twice as great ia France Trom beets as it is in Louisiana from cane, and several hundred pounds more than in Cuba. That the beet-sugar manufacturers of France and Germany, without protection not only compete successfully in their own countries with tho sugar' manufacturers of the world,' but "are enabled to export' large ''quantities' to England, a country that finds more than one-sixth of her consumption supplied by beetsugar from the Continent. That sugar can be. produced in the West cheaper from beets than it can be landed there from any other part in tho world, including"Louisiana," where the" crop is a precarious one, seM'ora coming to full maturity, owing to the shortness of the season. .. . .. . We are gravely informed by one. of the Charleston papers , that, in South Carolina, many "men of gentle blood" have actually gone to work that they ' are holding the plow "and sowing seed, that they may : have t bread. , If these specimens of the " gentle blood? could only live a while in " nigger 'quarters," subsist on two pounds ' of meat and i peck of meal a week, be occasionally, treated to the oklfaekioned lash, have a child or two apiece sold away from them, and be generally subjected to the diabolism of the old time, we' should soon find that South Carolina was one of the most reliable Republican States in the Union.- 'As these things are not in the Republican programme, we can only encourage the experiment which these sons of'r "chivalry, have inangarated, by shouting, at this distinGe, Go it, "gentle blood T' , Better men than you arc at work and think it no discredit. ChicagolMbune. ' i r , A Bold-; Thief.- The wife of Rev. C. A. Brooke, pastor of the - Asbury Methodist Church,, last Saturday finished the making of a new feather bed, at a cost of about twenty-five dollars. Yesterday morning il was placed out doors for an airing, and in less than two hours some bold and amlacious thief cariied it off in broad daylight, and up to the yresenttime no traoe can be discovered of its-whereabouts. We have some low down mean thieves in this city, but to steal a feather bed from a Methodist preacher just as winter is coming on, may be put down as the . lowest in the category ; and if the guilty wretch does 1 not find in the next world a warmer place than, the middle of that bed, there will have to be a tremendous reformation, or there is no truth in the teachings of the man- he stole it from Terre Haute Ex-press-. '': :: "i. , On Wednesday last while the propeller Equator was on her way from Buffalo to Cleveland, when about fourteen miles from Port Stanley, and some miles from shore, tv large buck was discovered , swimming in the lake. After dodging about for an hour, his antlered ' highness was taken on board the propeller alive. But he was not contented in his new and unfamiliar quarters, and made it so livery for those on , board that they were obliged to kill him,' as the Irishman- said, "to save bis life." Tne buck had been probably closely pursued by hunters in Canada, and had taken to-the Lake to save his venison.

This-trgan"of the prtf fp'els Bud if'r ihT comparisons made' by the Republt ean' press between the taxation in Republican arid-Democratic counties. It Is safe to My that the taxation in Democratic counties is nearly double, whet it is In Republican counties. The; pub lished rates of Auditors, and Treasurers of the various counties eafinot lie ; for instance, take the counties of Wayne and Allen for a comparison ; the population is nearly the same, therefore the expenses ' should be nearly the same. Yet the county tax 'fn- Wayne is thirtyfive cents on each 8100 ; while in Aflen, a Democratic county, it is 91 60; mahing a difference of 81 25, an the 8 lf?0 taxable property. ' And such outrageomt taa ation can be found to exist in nearly every Democratic county in the State. ? But we wishto make another point against thp Ledger.'and that is in reference to the latter clause of the Ledger's article which we quote.' It denounces the debt contracted by tho Government of the United States for the suppcrssion of the Rebellion a "shameless swindles, and bare faced robberies," ; during the four veers of the war Tfent Democratic paper denounce the Government for paying : the' sortilers ' the? pitiful sum of thirteen dollar's a tn&fith' as a sbareelessr swindle' and ' a robbery of the people, and yet this editor does not mention the I robberies and thefts of million of follars from the Government by'Floyd & Co., in the shape of arsenals, navy yards, mints, &c, and not "least among the crimes that this rebellion, which cost the Government this three thonsandmilons, was the'chlld of the Democratic party. It will not do lor TJemocTatia- editors to charge the indebtedness of the Government upon the Republican party, when that party brought on the causes and the necessities for this- heavy indebtedness upon the country. The Ledger cannot by such flimsy "pretexts hide their own swindles of the people, in the various counties in Indian p ; These robberies will be ventilated by more merr and papers than you have named.

Journal. Constitutional. , Ambndmkxt.: The majority against this proposition in Ohio at the late election, is upwards of 5o,000. The cause of this check to the Lithierto successful Republican party ia ' Ohio may be attributed (1) to the proposition to enfranchise colored men ; (2) to the disfranchisement of deserters, and (3) to the unpopularity of Secretary McCulloch's financial, policy,. for, which our party is,., unjustly, held-, responsible. Business is dull ; times are hard ; people are complaining, not knowing exactly what ails them and this operated against the party in powen This delusion will soon pass away. The Democrats make great promises, but they will fail in their fulfillment.
