an enemy. There is mnch here to in
dicate that this has been a densely-
populated walled city. The number
of mounds on all sides, and the quanti-
Fty Of human bones which are found in
each, are conclusive evidences, of a
populous vicinity. Some conjecture
that the houses Of the inhabitants were
built upon the butresses. but we are in
clined to believe that this was not the
case, as excavations for cellars &C., are
only found within the enclosure: The
form of the walls and butresses is said
to resemble the Chinese method of build
ing lortifcations. That several hun
dred years have elapsed since they
were abandoned, is proved by the fact
that large oak trees are growing on the
top of the wall, which must be at least
five hundeed years old. Although the
wave Of oblivion has swept away for
ever the founders Of this city, and left
not monument where with to pene-
trate into the deep mystery that hangs
over their fate, the foundation. of the
city still remains, and affords the anti
quarian fruitful theme for speculation.
The indications of civilization manifest
ed here as well as in the middle and
southern part of this continent, afford
sufficient evidence to assume that a
populous and enlightened people once
swayed the rule of this dominion over
this country. and that by intestine wars
they were destroyed and degenerated
into the present Indian. 1t caused US
sensations OF no primary character to
gaze on these ruins, where once nigh
ty,and intelligent people congregated,

The loud, joyous laughter of youth;

The voice of our host calling us TO sup

was advancing to meet him. The two
tormed second line OF defence, but the
tufious charge Of the Austrians drove
sthem7baek; while General EIsnitz hav-
ing marched around, attacked him on
the right flank, and began to pour squad
ron after squadron of his splendid cav
airy on The retreating columns of Lam
mes; yet the stern hero Immediately
formed his troops 'eneehelon," and re-
tird without confusion. But the re-
treat became general, and had the Aus
trian commander, MeIas, pushed the
battle here, nothing short of a miracle
could have saved Bonaparte from utter
ruin. He thought the battle already
won, and that it was now only pur-
suit, and retired to the rear, weary and
exhausted land no wonder. he was egh-
ty-four wears of age. Al that moment,
Desaix appeared on the field, bringing
up the reserve. Desaix rode up to
Bonaparte and said, 81 think this must
be put down as a battle lost" 81 think
it is a battle won," replied Napoleon,
''push on, and will, rally the line be
hind you.' Riding along the army he
had just stayed in its rapid retreat, he
said s'Soldiers, we have retired far
enough; let us now advance; you know
it is my custom to sleep on the field Of
battle" At that moment Desaix led
on a fresh column Of 5000 grenadiers,
but at the first fire he fell dead, shot
through the heart. ''Alas it is not per-
mitted me to weep" said -Napoleoh.--
SOM" And they did on; sweeping line
after line. till the whole army was rout-
ed, and the battle became slaughter.
The Austrian cavalry fell back on their
own infantry, trampling them to death;
while the French horse charged like
tire over the broken columns. The
roGtad army at length. reached the
B7}gaida, and were precipitated down
rts taep banks till its stream was choak-
ed with the bodies of men and horses.
rolled by thousands into It's purple food.
Bonaparte's star was still in the ascen-
dant.
How changed was the 'scence as
looked upon it. The he,dsman was
watching his herd on the quiet plain and
the careless husbandman driving his
plough through the earth once heaped
with the dead. The Bormida looked
as iii never had received slain army
in its bosom. nor its bright water been
discolored with he blood of men.

men arrived, and the search commence
ed anew. The field was examined for
the track, which. was pursued with
some doubt, as he had been there three
successive days. fOn tracing the path,
which led towards the wolf.woods, the.
imprints of Johnny's little feet were
again discovered, as he appeared to.be
running, and the mark Of his bag drag
|ged along BY his side. Here, the fatb-
|er's anguish gushed anew, as the fears
Of the preceding night wsre justified
and corroborated. Theyno wagreed to
take station of about. IS rods abreast,
60 up one side of the branch and down
the other, till the whole surface Of the
extensive area, farther than he could
possibly have travelled, had been ex-
plored. They hal completed one side
and were returning; when the signal
was given--Johnny was found! The
noisy shouting, and repeated peals of
the hunters winding horns, soon group
ed the solemn cayalcade.
But OLeary, though foremost in the
hunt, fell back at the first note of the
summoning horn: nor did he speak
word, or scarcely breathe, till he snatch
ed his own true Johnny from the arms
ofhis delighted bearer, and pressed him
with frantic fondness to his now burst
Ing heart. The dear boy was found
about two miles from home in a thicket
of hazel, picking iIberis with his bag of
corn still on his arm. He looked bright
and happy, and when asked where he
was going, said he was going home but
it was so far. He said he hadn't seen
any body, but he heard some one call
him, land that he was afraid; that heran
till he was very tired, and then he laid
his head down on his bag and cried
and that while he was crying he saw
big carriage go by with candles in it
(the thunder and ightning,) and thpn'it
grew very dark and he asked God to
take care Of little Johnny, and went to
sleep then. He seemed amazed to see
so many around him-and all so glad
to see him.

America, 1000 miles from Mexico. ma-
ny of which are 60 miles in circumfef.
ence, and capable Of containing 3,000,-
Ooo souls. prove that a civilized race of
beings inhabited America long before
the discoveries Of Columbus. At Pa
Ilenqur, amid a wilderness of ruins, are
IA large stone buildings with many OF
their apartments in good preservation.
One of the temples rivals in descrip-
ton the grandeur, as to architecture,
that of Solomon. On the E. side is a
portion of 10 #. with an entrance Of
9 t.,wide, with pillars covered with
beautiful designs and splendid hero
gIyphics, all embedded with huge trees.
Mounds are found in Mexico, similar
to those in Ohio, and in Germany; as
well as in Virginia, Iowa and Wiscon-
sin. They resemble ancient works
found in England, particularly Wales.
Several eminent literary gentlemen,
who have paid attention to this subject,

are remote descendants of. .Madoc, the
Welsh chieftain, who certainly visited

Why did .Madoc visit this country,
