ANTIQUITIES OF CENTRAL AMER.

We listened last evening with interest and
pleasure. TO the Introductory lecture of Mr..
Stephens, on the antiquities Of Central Ameri.
ca delivered at the Stuyvcsant Institution, be-
fore numerous and respectable audience
We have read in detached parts the report of
Captain del Ric made by order of Charles the
Fourth of Spain. in 1898 the more recent
work Of Lord Kingsborough, on Mexican and
Tultucan antiquities work published few
years ago in Paris, and various correspondence
from Tobasco, principally addressed to TIE late
DIR. Mitchell, and have always felt the deepest
interest in the subject but here we had before
us two living witnesses of the mighty ruins of
an unknown people on our own continent
Messrs. Stephens and Catherwood, both dis
lnguishPd travellers. who had in their time
visited Thcbes and Memphis, the Pyramids and
all the wonders of Egypt, and consequently
were in every respect well qualified not only
TO explore, but by comparison 10 throw great
light on the architecture and character ofthose
mighty ruins by which they were surrounded
These enternrising travellers encountered the
greatest difficulties in penetrating what NAV
be deemed vast wilderness of forests, having
ignorant Indians as guides, and no means of
clearing the ruins of immense trees and thick

Correspondence of the Madisonian.

IiICHNUND, .tIdO- JUIlG I.
An affecting circumstance took place at
Carlowville,- an adjoining village, last evening.
A young man, formerly, | think, of New York,
by the name of John La Tourette, merchant,
was shot dead by Mr.. Bissell, formerly his
clerk, Mr.. La Tourette having been little
out of his mind, imagined that Mr.. Bissell was
about to do him some injury, and became quite
insane on the subject, though Mr. Bissell was
perfectly friendly. In consequence ofths. Mr.
La Tourette was removed short distance to
his uncle's where he was thought to be recov.
ering. Last night, as is supposed, he mounted
his horse and rode to the vilage-alighte and
went to Mr. BisselI's house without shoes, and
entered room adjoining that in which Mr. B.
was sleeping. Mr.. B. hailed him, but receiving
no answer, and not knowing who the intruder

and others, Committee, &c.

THE FAST, "a FARCE"-lt has not for
gotten by our readers that we took occasion
to refer to the impiety of the readers that
we took occasion to refer to the impiety OF
the "Liberator," in styling the national fast
"farce." Since the day has been obser-
we'd, il is even more open in its declarations
of contempt. After characteristic intro
duction the Liberator SAYS:
snow listen to the lying declarations of
the New-York Observer, in relation to the
national fast:
1T was sublime, morally grand and
imposing spectacle A nation in the dust
Not at the feet of conqueror. asking for
life; but at the footstool ofthe King of kings,
crying, Spare thy people, o Lord, and give
not thy heritage toreproach A nation con-
Tossing its snsp
Surely, in view of the facts in the case,
this burst of pious bombast is enough to ex-
cite the loudest laugh Of hell There is
not word of truth in it; it is loathsome
cant and devout imposture."
In perfect keeping with, the above is the
following resolution, adopted at the late
meeting of the Am. Anti-Slavery Society.
Resolved, That the national fast recon-
mended by the slaUeholding chief magistrate
of this country, is an impious mockery of
God and humanity-both on the part of
him who recommends it, and of the SlaUe-
holding people. who are to observe it; and
that this is the fast which GOD has chosen,
to undo the heavy burdens and let the OPP
pressed go free
1t is not strange, after such declaration,
that the Liberator should continue its out
RACES upon American feeling by such lam
guage as this.

TEARs.-There is a sacredness in tears
They are not the mark of weakness, but of
power. They speak more eloquently than
ten thousand tongues. They are the messen-
gers of overwhelming grief, ofdeep contrition,
of unspeakable love. If there were wanting
any argument to prove that man is not mortal,
would look for it in the strong convulsive G.
motion Cf the breast when the soul has been
deeply agitated, when the fountains of feeling
are raising, and tears are gushing forth in
chrystal streams. Oh, speak not harshly Of
the stricken one-weeping IN silence Break
not the solemnity by rude laughter, or intru-
sive footsteps. Despise not a woman's tears
they are what make her an angel. Scot
not if the stern heart of manhood is sometimes
melted to tears of sympathy-they are what
help to elevate him above the brute. love
to see tears of affection. They are painful to
kens but still most holy. There is pleasure in
tears-an awful pleasurel If there were none
on earth to shed a tear for me, should be 10th
to live; and if no one might weep over my
grave, could never die in peace.-Dr. John
son.

SEARCHING FOR TREAsURE.-A story con
corning the Duke of Mattel, is much talked
of. In rumaging over his family papers he
found, in the handwriting of one of his ances-
tors, note, which gave the following renSeig.
nenaent: eco to the garden, and, 50 many feet
from such a corner, you will find a bronze nail
driven into the wall take it out, and behind
the place you will sec a bronze KEY, with which
open door that you will find built up so ma
ny yards north Of the nail enter this door anu
90 down the ten steps: You will then come
TO another door, which the key open, an,s
this leads to a long gallery. You must then
break open the wall at the bottom, and, in Il
niche behind it, you will discover very consid-
cradle treasures of my hiding" The Duke
went Immediately to the garden to his great

secrecy to discover the rest. By truth of the
second and third circumstance, he Judged Of
the certainty of the rest; and, having associ-
ated proper persons and enioined caution and
secrecy, proceeded in his excavation. Every
thing answered to the directions, and, when
they came to the last wall, they broke il down
with the full confidence that their labors would
be crowned with success; when, behold, in
the niche was an enormous pair of horns,
