Richard Yondon. ESQ., after an able s. honorable
career ofupwards Of II years; has retired from
the editorial chair of the Charleston Courier.
The future management Of this popular & profita-
bic establishment devolves upon W. S. King. Esq.
who is remarkably we'll adapted to the arduous
service. The editor Of the Charleston Mercury,
in noticing the retirement Of Mr.. Y. says he has
omitted to give reason for his withdrawal that
he should have boon apt to give on the Same &C.
casion, to wit: that "any man who would be an
editor when he could be any thing else, has a
most unnatural taste for aloes and rheubarb."
The editor, who appears to be wag, thus con-
tnues William S. King. esq. is henceforth to be
the responsible editor of the Courier. Poor fellow
we are sorry for him--if on could raiso cabbages
but tho market is overstocked with that veget-
able now--and after all, when man is worn out,
he will die, which is consolation. Me-. King
gives pledges; don't believe in pledges and
think tho fewer the bctter--no man Salty the
public by doing right. or even wrong."-Bals.

their old coats, gowns and cloaks.--One old
woman, withered and shrivolled and bent all up
in her frantic ecstacy, could get hold Of nothing to
swing, reached up her withered arm, and seized
the hat Of we'll dressed gentleman who was
pushing his way past her, pulled it off, and swung
it about her head, and gavo three cheers and huz.

periments to test the effects Of the water. In

Sth DR.. Weir saws:
"Within few days have had on opportuni-
ty of witnessing some experiments on this sub
ject. Water has been obtained from tho place
above named, g. given to healthy calves, which
produced the genuine sickness to which cattle ara
subject in this vicinity, called Milk Sickness. At
ter the death Of one of the calves, examined its
stomach, and found it 10 the same situation OF
other cases which had examined in that malady.
The stomach was contracted TO q firm, and almost
orbcular mass. The mucus membrane Of q dark
brown color, easily lacerated, and tho secretory
functions seem to have been completely locked
up as 10 leave the organ and its contents almost
perfectly dry. Tho food pressed in the folds, 50
that it adhered in thin cakes. This accounts for
the difficulty of producing effect by remedies
in this disease. Tho odor Of this stomach was
precisely the same as the breath of an individual
laboring under this sickness. | have treated
many cases, and tho breath is very peculiar.

New and interesting discovery in south America.
The National Intelligencer contains long let
ter from Mr.. pickle: at Lima, commenting upon
discoveries of very extraordinary ruins, said to
have been found by Judge Neiso in the province
of Chachapoyas, while on exploring expedi-
ton. In making q survey of tho country, he
found at Ceulap, building of a most extraordi-
nary character, which he describes al a wall of
hewn stono $50 feet in width, $500 feet in
length, and $50 feet high.
This edifce being solid in the interior for the
whole space contained within $4,000 feet OF
circumference, which it has TO the befors-mcn-
toned height of $50 feet is solid and leveled, and
upon it there is another wall Of 100000 feet in
circumference in this form, GOO feet in length
and 500 in breadth, with the same elevation (l50
feet) of the lower wall, and, like it, solid and lev
eed to the summit. In this elevation, and also
in that of the lower wall a eronf many hnh
itations or rooms of the Same hewn stone. IL feet
long and Is wide, and in.these rooms, as we'll as
botween tho dividing walls of the great wall. are
neatly constructed bitches, yard two-thirds
in length, and half yard broad and deep, in
which are found bones Of the ancient dead, some
naked and some in cotton shrouds or blankets Of
very firm texture, though coarse, and all worked
with borders Of different colors If this descrip-
ton is AUTHENTICATED we have reason to
doubt t-this must DO the greatest building in the
world in point Of size. We know Of nothing i'll
Egypt or Persia to equal it. From the descrip-
ton it must have beon vast tomb, but whether
erected by the Indians, before the Spanish dis
covery, or by remoter generations, cannot be de-
cided; yot the Judge says that the ingenious and
highly wrought specimens of workmanship, tho
elegance Of the cutting Of some Of tho hardest
stono, the ingenuity and solidity of the gigantic
work, all in stone, the elegant articles Of gold
and silver. and the curiousIy wrought stones
found in the mounds, all satisfy him that the ter
ritory was occupied by an enlightened nation,

more modern; as Babylon, Balbec, and the cities
of Syria; and this. he says is evidently tho work
Of people from the old world as the Indians had
no instruments of iron to work with.
