CURIOUS DlscovERY.-The New York Even
ing Post says: In digging on Tuesday among the
foundations OF Grace Church, at the corner of
Broadway and Rector street, IN. Y.,) which
has recently been pulled down, coffin, appar-
emily of silver, was discovered about two feet
and a half in length, containg the body of fe-
male child with an inscription bearing date
1867 The coffin had glass over the face, and
little further down on the coffin looking
glass set in the metal. =.
Near the foor of the coffin was an aperture
closed by glass stopper, which being opened
it appeared that the coffin was filled with spir-
its of turpentine. in which the body was pre-
served, so that the features, though some what
collapsed, were seen through the glass. The
whole was enclosed in a strong deal outer cof-
fin.

quested it except for the useless trouble our
friends had put themselves to on our account.
These are the facts connected with that ap-
plication, for proof Of which we appeal to all
the gentlemen we have referred to, and could
appeal to as many more. And these being the
facts Mr. Owen is boasting about the district,
as we learn from democratic papers received
since we sat down TO write this article, that he
defeated us in our aspirations for Captaincy
The people can now judge whether he has any
thing to boast of.
1t is proper to add that on his way home
from Washington, Mr.. Owen addressed US a
note informing us that the President had made
a requisition upon Indiana for an additional
regiment of Volunteers, and that if we still
desired commission, we could probably obtain
one from Gov. Whitcomb, by raising and re-
porting company of "a men. This was in
tended as a mean and sneaking insult to US
but properly considered (as we have the gratifi
cation to say itwas) it was rather an insult to
those of Mr.. Owens political and our persona
friends who had so fatteringly urged our claims
in the manner we have stated.

SENATOR BENToE-In one of his recent speeches
Mr.. BENTON gave the following, as connected with
his plan for carrying the war for obtaining peace
with Mexico. One might be induced TO suppose from
the remarks of Mr.. BENTON. that he was the only
man IN the country, Who could carry out the plan
as ne says that 1.-The appointment" meaning ofconrso,
himself, was indispensable its success Ii the plan
was so excellent and certain really think it might
possibly have been accomplished by some other per-
son than the distinguished Senator-perhaps howev-
er, we are wrong, and that his is the only mind in
the Union that could conceive and the only indivi
dual who could have executed it.
One war had been avoided without a loss Of rights
or honor another had fallen upon us; and now the
question which met him every step was when will ii
be finished? Alash could give answer There was
a time when had opinion; the President approved
that opinions it was founded upon a combined move
ment OF arms and OF policy-tYo armies-2O, eco un-
der Taylor. u, goo under ScotI-wiIh mission of
peace IN company-and the sword TO be effective if
the olive branch failed Policy and arms were to be
combined, and policy relied upon more than arms !:
and If that plan had been adopted he fully believed
that peace would have been restored in the month of
April past, or this month Of May; and peace not the
mere cessation of fighting but restoration of friend
snip, commerce, social intercourse and all the SYM
pathes of republican brotherhood. Congress refused
the appointment indispensable to the success of
that plan; and now he was without any means of
forming any opinion upon the probable duration of
the war.

Mexico let them council their Mexican allies to peace
Ii peace were made, our forces would be withdrawn

not unite with Government in its efforts to bring
about peace -
This is sufficiently unequivocal. Here the Next

WESTERN wATERs.-The Washington Union

WESTERN WATERs.-The Washington Union
Is out in long article against the Chicago Con-
vention. OF course the Union must take this
course, inasmuch as his master vetoed the Riy-

however, havea reckoning to make with the Ad-
ministration, on this subject They cannot
forget that while hundreds of thousands of the
public funds have been expendedin the improve
msnt of Eastern harbors, our 'inland seas, our
magnificent lakes and rivers, upon whose bo-
SONS floats on almost boundlets commerce, have
been entirely neglected
The people have reckoning to make with
Robert Dale Owen for this same matter. They
are not likely to forget that he sold their inter-
ests to the Administration for brother David's
office and a salary Of $4,000 1t is very little
use for the people to meet in convention and
propose means and memorabilia Congress for the
improvement of our rivers and harbors. while
such plant tools as Mr.. Owen stand ready, like
slaves in the market, to be bought up to do
their masters work in opposing such improve

OCFThe Princeton Clarion is of opinion Il at
David Dale Owen was the only man residing
West of the Allegheny Mountains who was
qualified for the appointment received by him
Through the influence of his brother Robert"
The Editor is doubtless as well versed in the
comparative attainments ofscientific men West
Of the Mountains as he is in some other subjects
he talks about; but, 1--WE chose, we could men
.tion to him few specimens of natiUe talent in
in these ''western wilds" whom bold man
might venture to speak of on the same day even
with DR.. Owen. Wepresume the Editor takes
it for granted that all the Dr.'s wondrous
knowledge of Geological and other science was
imported with him, and is not ware that the
man yet resides West of the Alleghanies who
taught him all he knows upon these subjects
and could probably teach him as much more.
But it is nothing more than natural that,
the Owen retainers should thinkall intelligence
and capacity confined to The family. This is a
household faith, inculcated and practiced upon
on all possible occasions and he is no true vassal
who dares to doubt it. 1t has been but lit
tie while since Robert Dale, the present head Of
the family, announced to the the democracy OF
the State that he was the only proper man.

not answer the purpose-it cannot shine so

Native talent will do well enough for 'efood for

there is a profitable office or situation going it

BLUYDERINc.-The Cincinnati Gazette saws
a blunderer can do more mischief in moment
than wise man can repair in years. This was
the case with Gen. Pillow at Cerro Gordo. He
there committed blunder the fatal CONSEQUENT
ces of which Time itself cannot remove. Less
fatal less melancholy, but displaying as gross
ignorance Of his official duties, is the blrnder
committed By Cave Johnson. By misconstru-
ing the Post Office Law, he has caused every
newspaper in the Union to sustain a loss of at
leasttpenty dollars during the last few months.
The Post Master General says that the whole
difficulty grew out of the improper location of
semi-colon. We do not believe this story
and, from an examination of the law, see no
grounds for the statement. The mischief
arose in the effort of Mr.. Johnson and his party
to contract the circulation of the independent
press II grew out ola desire to keep light from
the people--to conceal the misdeeds of de-
signing, scheming Administration.
