MEMORIAL.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives offhs
United States IN Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
they are entitled TO Bounty Land, under the act
of98th Of September, 1850, that they ars informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be !.
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that il patented to them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid II permitted TO sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the Law.
bv preventing the sale Of the Warrants assorr !,
that the officers and volunteers entitled TO bount,
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them among the most intel
lgent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as 10 make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

Ry,tc FnoH MouNp.-A friend has Just show
one ofthe most interesting and wonderful relics
.ver liscovrred in the vast and mysterious field OF
our Western Antiquities. 1t is nothing less than
C,re,y1x from an Iudian Mound! This most Gu.
riOus object OF AIT aud antiquity, was found IN ar'
ancient mound in WetEel county, Va, about
,lir,v-eight miles below this city. The mound
Glands on the farm OF Samuel McEIdowney, Esq,
and the finder of the precious relic was his son
Robert, who, we understand, has given to a gem
tleman interested ia the subject Of American An-
tiouiti.s, full account Of the manner and time OF
discovery. We trust the facts will speedily be
iyea to the public, and that our SGpqns will exe,s
else their wits to unGavel the mystery which angs
around this little relic. .fs,,-,a Z
The material of this most Interesting object OF
antiquity is brass, or some substance resembling
it, and iron The Cross is Of the latter material,
but theimage of the SaSiogE. "a most beautiful
niece of workmanship as Of brass, OF, as some
suppose, Of gold intermixed with silver.
The IDOund'iR which this mysterious relic was
found, was the most ancienti in appearance in the
valley of the Ohio, and at the period of the first
settlement Of the country, covered with heavy
prowthdftsees. The cross is greatly coroded, and
everything indicates that thrust have lain there
for hundreds, perhaps thousands Of yean. What
strange and curious history is wrapped up in this
little emblem of Christians hope! Whence
came it, To whom did it Lelongl How got it
there! are questions which will trouble the anti
quarry in any part of the world. With it was found
the remains ofa human skeleton, and some minor
relcS Of Indian Art. ...... a., .,i--.r. ~
It's, we believe, well established fac. that the
cross was muse among the Aztecs and the ancient
inhabitants of Central AmeRca, and devices of
that instrument are still to be feuud among tn,
ruins of the latter country. This, however, is the
only Instance iR rhich It has beeR found in the
mounds Of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys.
We repeat, the history oftlisacredreiic ismost
curious aud highly interesting. It'ee.ainly must
beregprded as by far the most important discovery
yet made among our Western tumuH.
