DR.. Reid, traveller through the
highlands Of Peru, is said to have
fouUd lately 10 the desert Of Alaca-
ma, the dried remains Of an assem-
bIage ol human beings, five or six
hundred in number, men, women
and children, seated in a semi-circIe,
as when alive. staring into the bur-
ming waste before them. They had
not been buried; life had not depar-
ted before they thus sat around. but
hope was gone, the Spanish invader
was at hand, and NO escape being
left. they had come hither 10 die
They still sat immovable in that
dreary desert; dried Ike mummies by
the effect Of the hot air, they still
keep their position, sitting up as in
solemn council, while over that
dread Areopagus silence broods ever
laslingly.

REMARKABLE Y.-The
New York correspondent oil the
Burlington Courier relates the fol.
lowing: --
ga friend Of mine recently offered
to wager that his daughter, a girl OF
fifteen years old, would repeat from
memory the entire contents Of anv
page of any single copy Of the N.
Y. Sun, within twenth-four hours
after its publication. You know, of
course, that this paper is almost
wholly filled with advertisements
Considering the want Of connection
between the paragraphs, and in the
number and variety OF the advertise
ments, | thought ] might safely ven-
ture V; so selected the third page
Of that days issue.
Imagine my astonishment howev-
er, when the next day, the talented
young lady, accompanied by her
father, called upon me, and repeated
the contents Of the entire seven COL
umns, cerbdflm ct iteratim. re-
gard this as most remarkable in
stance Of the magic power Of memo
ry.

A SUGGESTION TO PosTMAsTERs.- -
A writer in the Mayssilie Post Boy
suggests to PostGasiers the proprie-
ty Of placing tbs usual postmark over
the pre- paid postage stamp. This
will answer a threefold purpose
first, delacing the postage stamp;
secondly, in case the stamp should
not have been securely affixed, the
vacancy in the post-mark will show
that il had been put there. and third
ly, one operation will serve, instead
OF two, and thus save time and a.

The character Of Gen. ID. is atove reproach,
and his personal history is commendable 10
every sense Of The word. And This the peo.
pie are beginning TO discover.
1t is urged agaibs, hlm ,ha, he is a man o.
wealth and has never had any sympathy with
The great mass Of the people; while II Is
claimed as a peculiar merit for Mr.. Caldwell
that, as he boasled 10 his speech al Charlotte,

money or property. Bot more ihan this, no

family in Richmond, who sought to crush
him to the earth, because no refused to wof.

sisnally failed. The personal popularity Of
Gen. d. crushed them. He was the idol ol

Wing party: and under his safe and sure sui

the whole Pee Dee country became oyefwhei
mlnely Wing. BY industry, sobriely, aud life
Of christian rectitude, he has made handsome
estate and because he has chosen to invest
his money 10 slaves, he is not TO be trusted
with the protection Of Southern Interests :
While Mr.. Caldwell, who himself boasts tha
he does not own slngle negro, is PINK o
perfection on Ibis great issue IN these days O
Secession and Disunion
Bul enough of this Oar object was TO
vndIcate the reputation ol Gen. ID. not to

Of Union, Meckieuburg Lincoln ard CASTOR
that the name of Gen. d. Is near and dear Ia
the people of the Pee Dee country. They
desired him as The candidate two years ago.
He yielded TO the emergency Of the occasion,
and secured the success OF the party. We
honestly think his claims superior TO those
Of any man in The District. He is now the
regular and only candidate. He w,l receive
sweeping vote III the lower part Of The DIS.
