HeliGues OF Antiquity.

On Monday, April 9Th, at Undertook,
Illinois, from tumuus upon the bluff.
were dug out number of copper plates,
in company with human remains. The
skull from under which these were taken,
was OF gigantic proportions. The plates
were six in number, Of a conical form,
with the ape,c cut off; the base 3. inches
wide altitude ID inches; with four
columns of characters, evidently Chinese
or Tartar, upon both sides, and these EN-
blaZoned with curious devices of suns,
crescent moons, and stars Of excellent
workmanship. The plates had been held
together by an iron ring; but upon expo
sure to the atmosphere the ring fell into
oxyd, proving tina, a long time ago these
were committed TO parent earth. The
writer could not purchase these reIiques
of by gone times; The individual who
held them considering the gentleman al
Nauvoo--to whom il il believed they
have been forwarded-the only known
person capable Of decipherng the proba
bic mysterious import Of these hierogly-
phics; hence, no doubt we shall have
another revelation from these wise ones
There appears, from the frequent occur
renee of remains bearing the stamp Of an
iqnity being met with, this portion, if not
the whole of the elevated part Of the Con.
tinen,, has been once inhabited by high
ly enlightened, consequently, civilized
people, of Asia,ic extraction. The Indi-
ans are of Tartar conformation, changed
probably by climate and pursuits: many
Of their rites are similar, and no doubt
their origin is flnm the neighboring cont
nent Of Asia. +. G..

The committee ON Indian affairs in the
IL. OF X. reported bill allowing PEN
sion for life to Milly, an Indian woman
OF The Creek tribe, daughter of the cele-
braled prophet and chief Francis, who
was executed by order of Gen Jackson
IN the Seminole war Of lSl7-'lS. The
subject was brought to the notice of the
committee by the Secretary Of War at the
instance of Lieut.. Col Hitchcock, who
communicated the particulars of the Incl
dent upon which the recommendation is
founded.
Mlly, at the age of sixteen, when her
nation was al war with the United States,
and her father was one of the most deci-
ded and interchangeable enemies of the white
people, saved the life of an American cit
zen, who had been taken prisoner By lcr
tribe. The captive was bound to uee
anu the savage warriors, with their rifles,
were dancing around him, preparatory 10
putting him TO death. The young Indian
glrl, filled with pity for the devoted prls-
oner, besought her father to spare him ;
but the Chief declined to interfere, saving
that the life of the prisoner was in the
hands OF his clnprs. whose right il was
10 put him 10 death. She then Turned to
the warriors and implored them to for
bear their deadly purpose; but she was
repulsed; and one Of them, much ezra
ged, told her that he had lost two sisters
in the war, and that the prisoner must die.
Her lntercession however continued
she persevered in enlrealies, and used all
the arts Of persuasion which her woman's
nature suggested; and she finally succee-
ded in saving his life, on condition that
the young white man should adopt the
Indian dress and become one of the Tribe.
1t appears from the information com
manicated by Col, Hitchcock, that some
time after this event, the white man
sought his benefaciress in marriage. but
she declined, and subsequently married
one OF her own people. Tier husband is
now dead. Her father was pat to death
IN the war Of 1917 ID, and her mother
and sister have since diei.-She is now
frlendlcss and poor, residing amongst her
people in their new country, near tie
mouth of Verdigris river. She has
three children, a boy and two girls,
all too young to provide for themselves,
and consequently dependent Oh their mo-
,her for support.
The committee thought that the occa-
sion was a suitable one, not only to re-
ward meritorious act, but also to show
to The Indian tribes how mercy and hu-
mainly are appreciated by the govern
ment. The grant of pension, with a
clcai exposi ion Of the grounds Of its al
lowance, would have a salulary influence,
it was believed, upon savage customs in
future. A bill was accordingly reported
10 allow Milly a pension OF 500 per an
mum, or eight dollars per month for life.

Emts Groping in .Animals.-Nu-
merous microscopic researches lately
made by DR.. Bennett, have led to some
important discoveries in PATHOLOGY
That gentleman in communication read
at the last meeting of the Royal Society,
has shown that several diseases have long
been known TO physicians, who, however,
have not been acquainted with their real
nature. DR.. Bennett has discovered plants
growing in the lungs, which are some
times expectorated by individuals labor
ing under consumption. Other vegeta-
tons have been found in the inferior ami.
mails, as in birds, reptiles, fishes, insects
and molIusca. The facts now announced
are likely to cause important changes
with regard to the nature and treatment
Of certain diseases.

The DIsTRicr SYsrEM.-We perceive that many
of the democratic papers Of this State advocate the
choosing of delegates to the National Convention by
districts, that the voice of the people may be more
directly heard in that body If it is desirable to have
the democratic principle prevail in our political mat
ters the nearer we can approach to il in its purity,
the safer will be our action. The people are the
fountain of all power, and must act, either of them
selves through agents 1t is evident that the more
these agents be dispensed with, the less keli-
hood there will be that the will Of the governing
power will be defeated by treachery and corruption
There can be good reason urged why the people
should not choose delegates to the National Conven-
ton by direct vote. What is the of having the
people represented in County Convention-the Coun-
ty Convention in the State, and the State in the Ma
tiona Convention but to remove the last chosen as
far away from the influence of the people possibe'
1t is like the reflection of lightthe shadow growing
less distinct by each successive operation until final
ly il is destroyed altogether
