large city in the old or the new world,
all of which, under his directions, con-
Quoted extensive branches of vari1sN
kinds. Nothing, therefore, was too
great or extended, provided the pro-
jact was reasonable ones for him to
undertake. All the brothers Of M.
Rothschild are men Of great capacity
and knowledge OF business, but it is
generally admitlsd that they deferred
to his judgment in all their underlak-
ines, and that he was the moving prin-
cipls OF the great mass of capital they
represented.
M. Rothschild, like the rest OF his
brothers, held a patent Of nobility with
the title of Baron, but he never assum-
ed il, and was more Justly proud of
that name ,under which he had acquir-
cd distinction which no title could

COLUMBUS, GEO Aug. 81.
vs. have understood that 1000 Creek
Indians have Iasely consented TO enter
the service ofthe Uoited States for IL
months, ifrequired so long, ane pro-
coed forthwith TO Florida,
BY the assistance of these Indians, il
is thought the Seminoles will be redu-
ced to submission much earlier than
they otherwise would be. Captain J.
F. Lane,at present Aid TO Gen. Jesup,
is TO accompany the Greeks TO Florida
as their commander, and will De pro-
NOTED to the Office Of Colonel.
Notwithstanding the assistance which
we admit the country may derive from
the employ ment OF such force, upon
such an expedition, and 10 pursuit Of
such foe, still there is something OBJ
jeciionable in their enlistment. We
have three objections, to wit: first, it
impliss that the country is incapable
Of suhduing the contemplate tribe 10
Florida by the force Of its own citizens
aIcne, aud is therefore compelled TO
call for help from the sayagss; second
'iy, it is not good policy to let the ladl-
ans know that they are considered bet
ter soldiers than the whites, in any sort
Of an expedition whatever !; thirdly, it
is not morally right that this great
country should set one Indian tribe a.
gains, another 10 interminable hostility.
We ought to fight our own battles,
without calling for help from the sava-
ges.
Both Creeks and Seminoles after the
contest of the latter, are to be removed
TO their western destination, and there
the districts allotted for the future hab-
tation of each tribe lie in such proxi-
nifty that perpetual wars between them
may well be anticipated. Garry out
this policy, and there will be no end to
savage murder and bloodshed among
themselves.
We hear the contractors for emigra-
ting the Creeks will carry them all off
Immediately, except the thousand who

own fears of the climate of Florida, or !
by some other cause, we have no means
of knowing.

New YoRK, Sept. 9.
We are again indebted to the Messrs'
Topliff, Of the Boston News Room, for
a slip containing late and interesting
intelligence from Europe. The death
of Mr.. Rothschid is an event Of great
importance, not only to the financial,
but to the political world, for he was
emphatically the banker Of the crowned
heads. 1t was to him they resor,ed for

what projects aud undertakings may
be deranged, retarded, or even alto

CURIOUS DIsCOvERY.-ln 1884, a
subterranean Indian village was Disco
vered in Nacooche valley, in Georgia,
by gold miners, while excavating a
canal for the purpose Of washing gold.
The depth to which it is covered va.
res from seven to nine feet; some of
the houses are imbedded in a stratus
Of rich auriferous gravel. They are
thirty. four in number, built of logs
from six to ten inches in diameter, and
from ten to twelve feet in length
The walls are from three to six feet IN
height, forming a continuous line or
street Of three hundred feet. The logs
are hewed and notched as at the pres
et day. The land beneath which
they were found, was covered at its
first settlement by the whites, with a
heavy growth of timber, denoting the
great antiquity Of those buildings, and
a powerful cause which submerged
them. Cane baskets and fragments OF
earthenware were found in the rooms.
The houses are situated from fifty to
one hundred yards from the principal
channel on the creek. A great num-
Ger of curious specimens of workman
ship have been found in situations
which preclude the possibility of their
having been moved for more than a
thousand years /; among these, half q
crucible, Of the capacity of nearly a
gallon, ten feet below the surface, and
immediately beneath a large oak tree,
which measured five feet in diameter,
and must have been four or five hum
bred years old. The soil is diluvial,
or what may be termed table land
The stratum of quartz gravel in which
the vessel was ~imbedded, is about two
FEET in thickness resting on decomposed
chlorate slate. 1t is not difficult to ac'
count for the deposite ofthose substan'
ceS in an alluvial soil, for the hills are
generally very high and p%reciPitousi

and from the immense quantity Of rain
which falls, the streams are swollen to
a great height, sweeping every thing
with them, and frequently forming a
deposite of several feet in thickness in
a season. A vessel resembling a dou.
BILE mortar was found in Dukes creek
about five inches in diameter, and the
excavation on each side nearly an inch
in depth, basin-like, and perfectly po-
llshed. 1t was made of quartz, which
had been semi-transparent, but had be-
come stained with the iron which
abounds in great quantities in the coun-
try. In the bottom of each basin was
a small depression, half an inch in depth
and about the same in diameter. What
its use could have been, is difficult 10
conjecture. The high finish, and its
exact dimensions, induce the beliefthat
it is the production of a more civilized
people than the present race ofIndians.

A VERY SIMPLE REMEDY.-A gen.
tleman was coming TO this city from
New York, some days ago, when he
happened to get a spark from the loco
motive engine into his eye. He tried
various means to remove it, but all to
no purpose the spark remained in his
eye and gave him very great PAIN
Coming on board the steamboat at Bur-
lington, such was the pain he suffered,
that the accident became known TO the
passengers generally, and finally rea.
ched the ears ofthe engineer ofthe boat
who taking a horse hair with him, went
to the cabin and sought the sufferer

to Cincinnati with his wife and child

and nearly the whole train passed over

heart rending scene that ensued when
Mr.. Gibson was called TO the spot where
his wife lay a mangled corpse, with
| the child, about Is months old, by her
side, covered with the blood of its dead
mother. The top Of her head was cut
off, and the brain lay on both sides Of
the rail !; the body, feet, arms, and legs
broken TO atoms. Heavens ! what a
