CURIOUS DISCOVERY.

Last week discovery was made in Car
Isle Castle, which has excited considerable
interest. The workman employed in the al
terations now going forward, while cutting
loop. holes in wall, several feet thickness,
which separates the area of the Castle from
the magazine and the principal detence''
discovered quantity Of bones, and the re
mains of very elegant female dress. Inc
large bones are presumed to be those OF
woman. The back bone, and rib OF child,
newl y born, or very young, in an aImost per-
feet state, were taken out, and have been
seen by various persons. The dress is COM
posed of French silk and silver, and appears
to belong to the age of Elizabeth Some
persons think it probable that the lady by
some, fraihy had incurred the punishment Oh
being walled up alive, not uncommon al o'i'
period of our history. Others, more plsusl-

Extracts FROM A CORRESPONDENT IN RICH
MOND.

The Legislature OF Virginia have hitherto
matured but little business. Their time has
been principally occupied in receiving petit
lions. passing few local or private bills, and
committing resolutions for future cousidera-
ton. The only incidents that appear TO have
excited much interest, are the report of the
select committee on the case OF Mr.. Jones
Gour, ofStaHord, and the election of an au-
ditor. The former is very ingenious at
tempt to convince a young man, (not, you
may be assured, agains, his wilDthat notwith-
ing bis acceptance of challenge, be may
very fairly take the duelling oath, on the
ground that his acceptance was given without
reflection, and contained provision tor ami
cable adjustment, in case it could be effect
ed. And lest this ground should fail them,
as might very reasonably have been antici-
pated, the committee have reported the al
ready &c twice told tale" OF the unconstitu-
tionality Of the test oaths, in its application
10 the members OF the Legislature. The re-
port has not yet been acted on
The candidates for the place of auditor,
were Mr.. Barfort the last occupant, and Slr.
J. P. Heath formerly Of P. William. Mr..
Barfort was said to be an excellent officer,
but unnecessarily rude in bis official charac-
teri know nothing of the correctness OF
the charge but bis removal seems to be uni
versally la.nented here, and to have been OPP
posed by decidedly the most respectable
part OF the legislature. Mr.. Heath who was
elected, is however young man OF excel
lent character and very deservedly popular.
The bill reported by Mr.. Thompson to
exclude the Alexandrians from any partlcl-
patton in the management Of the turnpike
roads, leading to their town, and made, for
the most part at their expense, was yester-
day taken up in the house. motion was
made to limit the exclusion TO the offices OF
president and treasurer but before vote
was taken. the bill was laid on the table and
the house soon after adjourned. How long
lfyour town, to save few paltry reoce,
continue an object of aversion to ITS natura
parent, and of conemptuous neglect, to the
parent of its adoption?

For The Gaxstte.
THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE.


The chief aim of every wise and yirtuons
government, is the morality, prosperity,
and happiness Of the people oyerwhom they
rule nor can this object be better etecied
than by an attention TO the general express
sion of their feelings, inasmuch, as content
ed mind is sure to produce corresponding
feeling of the heart. If then, these Prelimi-
nary remarks hold good, it necessarily re-
suits. that the wishes of any community,
like the voice ofth nation, ought to entitle
them TO the serious attention and protecting
care oftheir government, so far as relates to
their local concerns, provided they do
not contravene the fundamental principles OF
the government, and more especially in one
ike this. where the sovereignty alone rests
with the people.
Under this impression, founded as con-
ceive, both upon common sense and common
Justice, the inhabitants OF this District are
especially required at this particular crisis
70 make known their wishes to the govern
ment, NOR can we for moment doubt the
success Of their application provided it be
reasonable one and the wish of the majority.
when We reflect, that we are blessed with
the most yirtuous, liberal and equitable go
vernment perhaps upon the face of the
earth.
The public feeling has for some time and
still is. deeply excited with respect to the
measures which congress may adopt relative
10 the banks in the District-depriyed as
they are, of all political rights 1.-THE pride and
glory of ireemen,) and brought together in
this District almost exclusively for CONNER
cial purposes, it cannot be supposed, that
any measures calculated to lessen their
means of carrying on business, would not
be viewed with the utmost solicitude tor
without the facilities which the banks no1v at
fsrd, little as they may be, they look forward
TO the almost complete humiliation OF their
commercial prosperity las well as the already
annihilation of their political rights. The
great question nowSto be decided by congress
is, what capital each city shall be entitled
TO, and into how many banks this capital
shall be divided--some with the best inten-
tions and the purest motives think, that fol-
this Town one is enough--others with like
good intentions think two. and others with e.
qually good motives think three.
Il has been urged, and with much good
sense, tha one bank would create com.
piese nonied aristocracy, and that SECOND

which the unusual pressure ofthe times pre-.
clude the possibility Of obtain 6.
While the passions and preju ices OF few,
whose limited horizons can only comprehend
effects without tracing causes, may decialm
and condemn these measures OF necessary
precaution, yet have no doubt that the ac-
tive and generous principl of beneyolence
and integrity as well as the genius OF magma
ninity will continue to animate both the
head and the heart of a large majority ofthe
good people of the district, and that in DO.
DIV so enlightened as our National Assembly,
il will find sufficient votaries to do justice 10
the rights, the privileges, and the wishes of
the people, when founded in reason, truth
and prudence.
