RUINS OF TEMPLES IN TEXAS.

The Telegraph (Texas,) has been informed by
gentleman who has traversed large portion OF
the Indian country in Northern Texas, the couu-
try lying between Santa Fe and the Pacific, aud
there are vestges of ancient cities and ruin ID
castles or temples on the Rio Puerco and ON the
Colorado ofthe west. He says, that on one of
the branches of the Rio Puerco, a few days travel
tropa Santa Fe, there is immense pile of ruins
that appears to belong ancient rsfnpfcv-yror
tons OF the walls are still standing consisting of
limestone regularly hewn aud laid in cement The
building occupies an extent of more than an
acre 1t Is two or three stories high, has no
ROOT, but contains many rooms, generally of a
square form, without windows, and the lower
rooms are SO dark and gloomy that they resemble
caverns rather than apartments Of an cdi6ce built
Tor human habtation. Our informant was unable
to describe the style of architecture, but he be-
ieves it could not be erected by the Spaniards as
the stones arc much worn by the rains, and iud
cate that the building has stood several hundred
years. From this description we are induced to
belleve that 1t resembles the ruins of PaIenque or
Crulum. lie says that there are many sim-
lar ruins on the Colorado ofthe West, which emp
ties into the California sea. In one of the vaEes
OF the CordIlleras traversed by that river, and
about four hundred miles from its mouth there is
a large temgle standing, its walls and spires pre-
sentinS scarcely any trace of di!apidation; and
were 1t not for want OF roof it might still be
reNucred haoitaoe. Near IL, scattered along the
declivity OF a mountain, the ruins of what has
once been large acqiduct, part of which howcv-
er, is in the solid rock still visible. Neither the
Indians residing in the vicinity, nor the oldest
Spanish settlers OF the settlements can give
any account of the origin of these buildings. They
merely know that they have stood there from the
earliest periods TO which their traditions extend
