BUCHANAN, Jan. 10, 1852.
TO the Editor of the Times write to inform you
of remarkable discovery which has been made near
Buchanan, Botetourt county. and as it may serve to
interest your subscribers, give it place in your
columns il you think proper
A few days ago, whilst some men were engaged in
blasting out limestone a short distance below this
place. for the purpose of making lime.kiln they
came across what seemed to be cave, with an en-
trance come six eight feet in height and upwards
of one hundred long, with two apartments. In the
first they found some earthen ware and large stone
cross; the cross there some carving but was
so much deiaced by the hand Of time that it was
scarcely dscerni bic. After they found these things
they came to Buchanan and made known their dis
covery. Some OF the citizens with lanterns, proce
ded Immediately to make farther search.
They found nothing IN the first room but what
have mentioned, but entering the second apart
ment were surprised to find skeleton seated on a
huge iron chest with its back resting against the
wall On opening this chest they found il to contain
Gold Com, perfectly smooth one side and cross
with some characters on It on the 9th r. The gold
in the chest by weight is worth seven hundred and
eghty-tl,ree dollars.
How these things came in this we are not able
to imagine for the coin is which we have never
seen before.
This will no doubt be puzzle for the world

WHAT hosSUTH HAS BEEN DOING FOR HUNGARY
The following reply was made by Kossuth at Pitts
burg, in to a committee inviting him to Clsye-
land, Ohio
GENTLEMEN: You will know my wishes when
tell you that already hundred and sixty thousand
dollars has been raised in this country for the Hun
garan fund, and but thirty thousand of it has been
realized for my suffering cause The rest has been
eaten, drank, and toasted out in costly banquets
and foolish parades fol which have no taste and in
900 muskes at 81 each-S90 900. l have made one
payment, and have got others TO make. or lose what
hes been paid IT all the money raised could have
been properly expended, my mission would ere this
have been ended, and the basis oil my counry's lib
ery secured"
The Board of Aldermen of the city Of Louisville, on
the 10Th umo, rejected, by "a unanimous vote, the
invitation to Kossuh to visit Louisville, which had
previously been passed by the other branch of the
