BODY DISCOVERED IN A CAvE.--In lime
stone cavern, in Virginia. known as McCoy's
Cave, body of man was discovered,
which must have lain there some time, and
probably fell through by accident, as no one
has been missing. 1t is probable, from his
dress, that he must have been in the cave
for number of years. His face, hands,
and legs below the knees 1.-THE rest Of the
body being clothed) had much the appear
ance of an Egyptian mummy, being dried
and shrunken to the bones. 1t was dressed
with pair of buckskin short breeches, fas-
tened at the knees with four buttons stock
ings that seemed to have been made of yarn,
but only small portion remained. The
coat was of a blue cloth, entire, but so rot
ten that it came to pieces when slightly pull
ed; vest of lighter colored cloth, and steel
or iron buttons. There was no hat seen,
and the hair, which was dark brown, was
slightly grey. The buttons of the coat were
of brass, and corroded to dark green color.
In his hand was cutched chain, with a
watch attached, and broad flat gold key,
with steel barrel. In his pocket were sew
eral pieces of silver coin-three Spanish
pistareens, and smaller one, besides two
trunk keys, with a ring to fasten them to-
gether. Many speculations were made as
TO the probable time of his death; all coin
eide in the opinion that he had fallen thro
the opening, at some period long before,
where, unable to get out, he had pershed.-
The body was decently inferred in the bu-
rying ground attached to the Presbyterian
church, near Luray. No one living can
recolIect having heard of any person being
missing. From the character of the dress,
it is evident that he belonged to the past
generation, and a mystery must forever in
volye the affair, to be used as subject for a
future novelist or as futile speculation,

possible for us to be blind to the fact, that
the statements contained in Mr.. Everett's
despatch are we'll worthy of serious con.
sideration. The Government and people
of the United States have never eyinced
nor do they feel any desire to inter.
fere in public questions not affecting the
relations existing between the States Of
the American continent.
We leave the European Powers exclu-
siye control over matters affecting their
Continent and relations of their different
States. ~
The United States claim similar ex-
emption from any such interference on
their part. The Treaty with Texas was
negotiated from considerations of a high
public policy influencing the conduct Of
the two Republics. We have treated with
Texas as an independent power, solely
with the view of lettering the condition
of the two countries. II annexation IN
any form occur, it will arise from the free
and uniettered action Of the people Of the
two countries; and it seems altogether be-
coming in me to say that the honor of the
country, the dignity Of the American
name, and the permanent interests of the
United States, would forbid acquiescenct
in any such interference. No one cal
more highly appreciate the value of peace

and the capacity Of each to do injury te

be preserved by maintaining firmly the
rights which belong TO us as an independ

add, that while ! have regarded the an
nexation to be accomplished by treaty a
the most suitable form in which it coult

patible with the Constitution, and likely
to accomplish the object, stand prepared
to yield Ey most prompt and active Co

it shall be accomplished or not.

MEMOIR OF CHATTERTON.

Thomas Chatterton was born at Bristol
(England,) Nov. 90, 1859. His father,
who had taught the Free School there,
died before his birth, and he was educated
at charity school, where nothing but
English, writing,and accounts were taught.
His first lessons were said TO have been
from black-leiter Bible, which may have
had some effect on his youthful Imagination
At the age OF fourteen he was put appren.
tce to an attorney, where his situation was
irksome and uncomfortable, but left him
ample time to prosecute his private stu
dies. He was passionately devoted to
poetry, antiquities, and heraidry and am
bilious of distinction. His ruling passion,
he says, was "unconquerable pride" lie
now Sc, himself to accomplish his various
impositions by pretended discoveries Of
old manuscripts. In October, l76s, the
new bridge at Bristol was finished; and
Chatterton sent to newspaper In the
town a pretended account of the ceremo.
MES on opening the old bridge, introduced
by letter to the printer inlimating that
"the description of the friers first standing
oper the old bridge was then from an an
Gent manuscript" To one man, fond Of
heraldic honors, he gave pedigree up to
the time of William the Conqueror, 10 am
other he presents an ancient poem, the
sRomaunt of The Cnyghte,' written by one
of his ancestors $50 years before; to re-
lipious citizen of Bristol, he gives frag,
ment Of sermon on the Divinity OF the
Holy Spirit, as wrofen by Thomas Row.
LEV. a monk of the fifteenth century; "a
another, solicitous of obtaining iniorma'
tien about Bristol, he makes the valuable
nresent of an account of all the churches
Of the city, as they appeared three hun
dred wears before, and accompanies 1t with
drawings and descriptions of the castle
the whole pretended to be drawn from
writings Of the 'gode priest Thomas Row
lev, Horace Walpole was engaged in
writing the History Of British Painters
and Chatterton sent him an account Of
eminent 'Carvellers and Penyeters, who
once flourished in Bristol. These, with
various impositions of similar nature,
duped the citizens Of Bristol. Chatterton
had no confidant in his labors he toiled in
secret, gratified only by the stoical pride
of talent. He frequently wrote by moon
light, conceiving that the immediate pre-
sence of that luminary added to the Inspl
ration. His Sundays were commonly
spent in walking alone into the country
about Bristol, and drawing sketches o
churches and other objects which had i'm
pressed his romantic imagination. III
