NEw-HARMoNY. INDIANA, Ju


 Iadiun Relics.-In the vicinity of this town are abundant evidences that at former period large population inhabited this bank of the Wabash. Ma ny graves apparently contemporary with those of the Merrmack, and like them cased with flat stones, still visible on the UufS; and on the northwest ex tremity of the town are many tumuli, which the an nual efforts of the plough have not yet reduced to the common level. Several individuals connected with the establishment and particularly Mir John Beale, opened one of these mounds and found an arrangement of flat stones, enclosing human bones which crumbed under the touch. A more interest. ing relic, however, which occurred with them, was a small wooden instrument, shaped somewhat like
 common retort, but less curved, about four inches long It had been entirely covered or sheathed with copper, which is now completely oxydized; the in- cluded wood is much decayed, but evidently owes its preservation to the protection of the copper sheath ing. We have no conjecture relative to the use to which this instrument was applied. But it affords an additional proof that the aborignes avaed them selves, to considerable extent, of the maleable copper ore so abundant in many localities Lake Superior. It appears to have been transmitted to every part of the country by commercial inter- change, and many ancient tumuli have furnished the cabinet of the curious, with articles of the mea of various forms in atestation of this traffic. Many of them concave and probably served as sheath ing to enhance the beauty or durability of some wooden ornaments or instruments which have de- cayed and disappeared.
 Some arrow-heads and knives of flint were also found in the same mound, differing in no respect from those which are often picked up from the sur. face. The arrow-heads familiar to every one; but the instrument which may have been used as knife, requires more particular observation. It is from one and half to two and quarter inches long, and from three tenths to seven tenths of an inch broad. with two cutting edges; in form resembling the obsidian knives of the ancient Aztequez or ra- ther perhaps Touteques, that we have found in a. bundance in the vicinity of the town of Calco in Mexico, and which figured in one of the late numbers of Silliman's Journal.
 We have compared several specimens of the flint and obsididn blades and find them to correspond as accurately the difference of the material would admit, even when wrought by the same artist.
 We presume not to say how far this fact may go towards corroborating the heroglphc records of the Aztequez, relative to their migration and that of the Toutees from the North, but it seems to strengthen the conjecture that the remote ancestry of the pre- sent Mexican Indians, erected those mounds and em- bankments so literally scattered over this country the origin of which is unknown to the tradition of our red Disscminator.
