To old Charlotte belong the honor Of inurng

Discovery IN MIssIssIPPI--In the souh.wes-
tern part of Franklin county, Mss, there is Il
platform or floor of hewE stone, neatly polished
some three feet under ground. It's about one num-
dred and eighty feet long and eighty feet wide
1t extends due north and south, and its surface is
perfectly level. The masonry is said to be equal,
if not superior, 10 any work of modern times
The land above it is cultivated but thirty years
ago it was covered with oak and pine trees; mea-
suring from two to three feet in diameter. 1t is
evidently of very remote antiquity. as the Indians
who resided in the neghborhood had no knowl-
edge Of its existence previous 10 its recent dscov-
ery. Nor is there any tradition among them tc
form any idea of the object ofthe work or the peo-
plo who were its builders. There is also cana
and well connected with it, but they never have
been explored. A subteranean passage may be
underneath. Further explorations may thro"
some light upon its origin.
