ANTIQUITIES OF TENNESSEE.
From the Nashville Wing.

Ga the farm Of Turner Lane, Esq. FIVE
miles southeast of Sparta, on the waters
Of the Caney Fork Of Cumberland, and
90 other farms adjacent, have lately been
found small graves, sunk into the earth
from one foot TO eighteen inches below the
surface. They are about ten inches broad
and eighteen inches long, having flag
limestone rock at each of the ends and
sides, and covered with the same species
Of rock. In these graves are found scull
bones, about three inches 10 diameter,
nearly sound; the other bones being pro-
portionably small. Between two and three
hundred Of these graves have been dis
covered. In every tomb, yet opened, was
found small black earthen pot, about one
piut in capacity, containing a small conk-
shell, undecayed, of gray colour on the
exterior and red within and as transparent
as this species Of shell is usually found
The pot, when broken, exhibits numerous
white specks of round shining particles.
1t is matter of striking curiosity, that
there is not to be found, in the neighbour
hood Of this place, any limestone of the
same species with that of which these
iombs are constructed.
Ia the vicinity Of the place where these
graves are found, there are the vestiges Of
large town, having parallel streets ex-
tending east aud west. The land they are
upon is covered with as large timber as
any in the neishbonrhood. The sutures
Of the heads Of these skeletons are closed,
and as sound and solid as the other parts
of the scaIl.
At Mr.. Anderson's, two miles and a
half 10 enthusiastically direction from
the farm Of Mr.. Lane, were found other
skeletons of the same dimensions, in tombs
constructed upon the same plan, and oil
similar materials. One at least, il is said,
vas observed TO have teeth and all the
bones belonging to the human body.
The facts above stated are aitested by
Mr.. Lsne, of White county, who has seen
be skeletons very often, by his sou, Ja-
cob A. Lane, Esq. Of Sparta, in the same

LEXINGTON, Ken July s.

Ia w OUuiUTu County,. Two men. Que nameu
Nathaniel Peters, the other DarnelI, had a
quarrel, which produced personal rem
counter. Some short time after which,
Peters laid himself on the bed and fell a.
sleep Whilst 10 this state. Darneli en-
tered the room, and gave him two strokes
with an axe, which entirely split his head
open. Darneil fled, but was soon arrested,
and committed to the Jail Of Woodford
county. What renders this murder still
more horrid, is the near blood relationship
which existed between the parties-they
being full cousins.
Indian ferocify. The gentleman who
was tomahawked by the Indians at the
time Captain Davis, Of Nashville. was
killed, III boat descending the Missis-
sippi, has just retained TO his residence
in Jessamine county. He states that after
the outrage had been committed by the
two Indians, that three chiefs were seized
by the whites, confined, and retaliation
upon them threatened unless the murder
ers were given up. This produced their
surrender. The two murderers were con-
fined with chains, and a small paddock
lodged in room and a guard Of five men
placed round the building. In the morn
ing the guard heard pistol fred 10 the
room, and Immediately repaired TO the
door which they opened.
The first man who attempted to enter
was Knocked down by one Of the Indians,
who had, during the night ,gnawed off
NTH has teeth the hasp Of the lock so as
TO leave the chain Oh one wrist only,
which he used as a weapon, and with
which he successfully knocked down the
four first OF the guard who approached
the door, when the fifth shot him through
the body, and he fell. On entering the
room they found the other Indian, who was
young man, shot through the body.-It
appears the two Indians had agreed to kill
each other, rather than TO be hanged by
the whites, but after the elderly one had
shot the younger with pistol which he
had coocealed) aud the guard approach
ed, ne determined to have revenge on
them. The wounded Indian was carried
some distance on his way to be tried; but
his repeated attempts to do injury, al
though badly wounded, induced one ofthc
guard to send ball through his brains.
MIR. Chandler states, that the Indian
who was most active 10 arresting the mnr-
derers, who belonged to- the same tribe,
Seminoles,) claims protection Of the U.
States, fearing his own people would put
him TO death should they take him.

/ had fitted Themselves out at New-Orleans
for the highway that they had robbed
one footman on the old road from Madi-
sonville TO Nashville, OF S62; that ap..
prehensive Of being pursued, they crossed
Through the woods to the new or military
road, on which they robbed two gentle
men of Tennessee Of gold repeating
watch and S35. He describes one oil
those gentlemen TO be of full stature, and
large black whiskers; the other to be small
and in i'll health. Immediately after this
confession, the third robber made full
disclosure of all their acts and intentions,
corroborating with the stories of the other
TWO. They deny having attempted or
committed murder; but from some cir
cumstances it is feared they have sealed
some OF their acts with blood. They left
New orleans on the Oath Of May, and say
their intention was TO rob some OF the many
wealthy farmers or merchants returning
home from New 0 rleans, aud then TO make
their way to the north. Ii is understood
that one of the gentlemen who was robbed
last, and to whom the watch belonged, is
a MIR. Kimbro, OF Williamson Couniy,
near Franklin. The watch was found on
one Of the villains, and with the pistols
and money, is in the hands Of Mr.. Reed,
sheriff of Coyington county, Mississippi.
A letter directed to him at Monticello in
that state, will find him. The robbers
are confined 10 the Jail there, and will be
tried at the court to be holden OH the 4th
Monday in September.
