1 i 1 i - i.eimeu m a str tum of rich auriferous gravel. They are 31 in number, built of o? Irom six to ten inche9 in diameter, nnd from ten to twelve feet in length. I he walls are from three to gix feet in I'pight, forming a continued? line of street of SOU feet. The logs are hevted and Jotc: ed, as at the present day. The land lneath which they were found, was covered, at its (jr-t settlement by the whites, wilh a heavy growth of timber, denoting n great antiquity to these buildings, and h powerful caiie which submerged them. Cane baskets and fragments of earthenware were found in the looms. The account is contained in a letter to the editor of the Southern Banner, from which the following further particulars aie extractCd Bait. American. The houses are situated from 50 to 100 yards from the principal channel of the creek ; and as no furthur excavations have i.v u'.vj.no ni c v. i j i been marie, it is more than probable th:tj

a,,s uuiu,cu ju, ujuic in.to h thousand ears. curing T A " . unnng my mining - . operations ln-t year, I found atone time,, about one half a crucible, of the capacity of near a gallon. It was ten Jee below me surtace, anil immediately beneatli a . , - , . . . . . i lirge oak tree, wmcn measured live leetj in diameter, and must have been four or' five hundred years old. The deposite! was diluvial, or what may be tPrmed ta-J hie bind. The stratum, of quartz travel, ' in which the vessel was imbedded, is about two feet in thickness testing upon decomposed chlorite slate. It is difficult to account for the deposite I of those substances in alluvial soil, for the j hills are very high and precipitous, and! from the immense quantity of rain which j falls, the streams aie swollen to a great'. height, sweeping every thing with them,i and frequently forming a deposite of sev-j eral feet ia thickness in n season: but; some of the diluvial land is fiom ten to! fifty feet above the present level of thej streams. Tht.-e deposites exhibit nppearances of as great uttrition as those! recently formed. j There was a vessel, or rather a double: morter found in Duke's Creek, about five; inches in diameter, and the excavation on each side was neatly an inch in depth, ba-l fio-IiUe, anI,Perlec ly policed. It was made of quartz, which had been semi-j transparent, but hud become stained with, the iion which abounds in nuantitv iu all I k; r.- r i,o Uiia.,, nf nQri. ml sin was a small flepression half an inch in depth and about the same in diameter. What its use could have been, is difficult to conjecture. Some suppose it was used; for grinding paiut, &.C. or in some of their) plays or games. The hisjh finish, its ex act dimensions induce me to believe it the production of a more civilized people, than the present race, of Indians. Respectfully yours. A Great Curiosity A few days einre, a gentleman residing in th vicinity of this; citv purchased several well grown hegs;; ami being about mowing time, when fatj pork is peculiarly grateful to the knights; ol the scythe, he directed one oi uie aoove hog to be slaughtered, which happenpd to fall to the lot of n good looking sow. On opening the animal, it was discovered, for the first time that she was with young. This circumstance led to a mote minute; examination when there was found within! her ttn well shaped pigs, perfect as they should be , together with an animal having! a perfect resemblance to an elepht.nt's head, instead of that of a hog. This head and countenance is not only like that of the elephant, with the probosci3 in its nroner idace. but has only one eye, which i very brilliant , and placed directly in the, forehead. The body, ears and tail, also correspond to those of the elephant. This, singular production of nature was presen-j ted to the Alexandria Museum, in gondj order, on the day it wa9 first discovered, has been duly preserved, and is well) worth the attention of the naturaliet and the cuiious. Alexandria Gaz. RICHMOND, IA. MAY 24. niOllJIONITJES. On Mondav morning last, a caravan of l.iif Itrn hiinrlrPi iMormOlllte". Wilt) 8 long train of wagons, passed through this place on their way to the "far west." There were but few women among them, and the men were generally, if not all, finplied with fire arm?. A stout, hardy tet of looking fellows they were too, and many of them quite intelligent. Fiocn their pquipmentd, it has teen tupected that they intend joining and defending tKoir brethren in Jackon countv, Missou 1U V ,,v, aluwBw- - - ri.

We under-, stand they were from the s'ate9 of Yerinont, eV 1 "IU, and I enusy iv hum, ami had assembled at some point on then route hiiher. A Singular Occurrence Most of those who have seen the beautiful serpent at f'eale's Museum, which is exhibited as the gieat Anaconda, "ill recollect that in the tnng quartets allotted to hun there aie two blankets, on one of w hich he lies, and the other is covered over him in cold weather. Strange to say, the night beice Ust, after Mr. Feale had fed the ser-

the serpent took it into hi head to swal

low one of the blankets, which is a seven quarter one, also, and this blanket he has now in his stomach. The proprietor feels much anxiety ; and the public willal?obe curious, it is probable, to know how this strange meal will suit the gentleman's digestive powers. A". Y. Courier.
