wade, they suddcnly struck upon something
hard which, upon investigation, proved to be a
helmet of most exquisite workmanship. After
the earth had been partially cleared away, they
discovered some human bones; this induced them
TO make further search, and shortly after they
turned up a pondcrous metallic substance Of an
oval form, like shield; q few inchos lower they
found more human bones; and before night,
when the whole was cleared away, they distinctly
made out the skeleton of a man and horse; the
man appeared to have been clothed in com
plctc suit of armor, which was nearly perfect,
though somewhat disiointed. He appeared TO
have been of gigantic stature; the sword, which
was very ponderous, lay at the feet of the horse.
The following day, whilst pursuing their occupa-
ton, the workmen discovered some other skec-
tons of men and horses all standing in an erect
position, clothed i'll armor, and nearly as perfect
as the first which was discovered Mr.. Day, with
great liberality, is proceeding i'll further Search

found, and the marshy nature of the ground, lit

The truly hospitable and philanthropic ladies'
of our town, wishing to commemorate the Gene

1t was intended that the General, by special
invitation, should be present at the organza-

stay which he intended to make with us, it was
concluded he could not possibly comply with the
request, and the idea was abandoned. They
were, however, afterwards informed that the
General would have waited upon them with pc

1t falls to our lot to announce, with regret,
the loss of another mcritorious officer, in the
death of Lieut.. FRANCIS b. GAMBLE, late
commander of the U. S. store ship Dccoy.
Lieut.. &. departed this life on board his ship
on the 29th of last month, off Cape Hattcras,
on his passage from Key West, after an i'll
ness of five days of bilious fever. This
dispensation of Providence has deprived the
service of the third brother Of the same
family, all of whom were in the United
States Navy. The first was Lieut. Peter
Gamble, who was killed in battle on Lake
Champlaine while acting as First Lieutenant
of Com. Macdonough's ship--the second
was Captain Thomas Gamble, Commander
Of the U. 5. ship Eric, who died in the Med
iterrancan--and Francis is the third.
