TAl Boor on 'roTHER LEc,--A year or

a speech of Charley R.emsln OF Cincinna-

we were pountcd rpon by pack OF Lo;o-

IVA True vlrginiun suysi
We are informed BY Col. Raymond and
othe-s, thar q portion ofe regularly Mead;
enizod road has been discovered on the op-
posite sideof the river from this place. WS
( haye not seen It ourselves, but learn thatit
extends pretty mucbalong the bank of the
trtver. Its width isabout I6feet,and the track
/ well graded. The bed of stones seems to bo
about two inches thick, and made precisely
after the plan Of our MrAdahized roads, tile
stone being brokento about the same size as
that used for our roads. The discovery was
mGdeiby the washing away Of hill side
partially covering the road. When and by
whit race ofpeople this road was made, Is
upknown at the present day, but it gives
: evidence of the existence Of populntidh
here at some former age Of the world, as far
advancedin civilization, or at least in the art
ofroad-making as ourselves. There was
found in the bed of the road the stump of
chcsnut tree, which was ascertained to be
40 years old at the least and how much old
or, our informant could not tell, as the stump
was hollow.
Here is food for thought, says the Balti.

, made this road-when did they make it,
and what has becoae of them! -..i,s,
TRIAL OF ANEW RIFLE.--A new rife, the
invention of Mr.. J.. Marston, of New York,
: was satisfactorily tested bya number ofgen-
tIemen orNewark ON the l4th inst, near the
a Plank Road Landing, The popularity of
the rifle consists in its being loaded at the
i breech instead of the muzzle. The charge
il made IN n a form nf n q cartriAon with n ron
:. : ica ball at the top, and leather wad at the
: bottom of the powder. This is laid in a box,
= in the continuation of the barrel, whence a
= slide moved by lever, transfers it to its
u place, and a slight touch of the trigger dis
: charges the load, leaving the wad at the bot
tom, to be forced out by the kHcceeding
e charge, thus keeping the bore close. The
? rifle may be discharged with astonishing ra-
$ pidiy, and seems to have further reach than
2 the best rifles of other descriptions.
