HON. PIERRE SOULE.

MEssRs EDIroRs:-The following well timed
and we'll merited tribute to the Hon. PIERRE
SoULE, Senator from Louisiana, will undoubted
ly be hailed with satisfaction by your intelligent
readers, Of all parties.
II is from the pen of Monsieur F. Gaillerdei,
the we'll known and distinguished correspondent
ofthe sCourier des Etates Unis." Writing from
Paris, under the date of January oath, he thus
speaks of Mr.. Soule, whose reputation as an ora
tor and as nan of liberal principles and lofty
ability, has already extended 50 widely over the
Union:
mo illustrious member OF Congress could
better fill the mission to Paris than Sena' or
Soule, one Of the most able defenders Of the
school of Calhoun, and not less seducing as a
man Of the world than as a statesman. Some
American journals have already made his name
figure among those mentioned by Mr.. Franklin
Pierce for the legation at Paris, and this news
has produced lively sensation among the press
OF France, which has not forgotten that Pierre
Soule was one OF its soldiers and its martyrs
The public mind has been profoundly moved at
the thought Of beholding the American Union
send as our representative to France, former
proscript other monarchic government, now be-
come one of the glores Of the land which well
coined him. This combination would be one of
the best things the Union could do in her own
honor; it would say to the eyes of Europe more
than host of books, for 1t would be a living
proof Of that equality, and Of that justice which
makes the American Republic the real asylum
of humanity, where every sorrow is fra ernay
received, and every intelligence adopted and re-
composed according to its merits
--e Of. GAILLERpET."
In giving publicity to the above, which speaks
volumes for the distinguished man who is the
object of its enconium, and yet is no more than
thousands have long thought, you win be confer
ring favor upon the party, and undoubtedly
gratifying yourselves
Very respectfully.

Extraordinary Discovery.

ON Monday last, whilst some hands on
the Cincinnat,, Wilmington and GAINESVILLE
Railroad, at Cusack's Mill, about five miles
south of this CITY, we're quarrying stone a
human skeleton was found embedded in rock
on bluff bank on the south bank of JON
alhan's creek thirty feet from the surface
A small lissure in the rock, of perhaps two
inches in width, opened 10 the resting place
of these remains, which, in all human prob.
ability, may have been deposited there CELL
turtles ago. The rock contained al linden
ton of the greater part Of the body, as per-
feet as though moulded OF pot,er's clay
From the hip to the foot, particularly, this
sarcophagus was as complete as carving
could have made it, The proportions. curry
atures &c, of the limb were distinct aud
regular, and indicated that the skeleton
had been that of person of full size.
How, and at what period of the world,
these remains were deposited where found,
furnishes wide theme for conjecture, as
we'll as subject for the discussion Of geol-
ogists. The rational probabilities are that
at some very ancient period this body had
been washed from the creek into the bank
of the stream, and that the continual depos
it of sand around it formed into rock,
which has been increasing for ages, as ages
only could have formed the immense
amount of very hard sand stone which sur
rounded it.
THIS discovery establishes what past his
tory has heretofore entirely failed to estab.

| lish, to wit:-the phenomenon of human
skeleton within body of solid rock. We
have no hesitation in believing. from the
appearance of the rock, that at one period
the portion surrounding this body was en-
tire and solid. but that the undermining of
the rock by the stream, OF some other con-
vulsion of nature, had opened the assure
which existed when these remains were dis
covered. Toads and other reptiles have
often been found embedded in solid rock,
but history gives no account of the discov.
cry of human remains in such situations.
We saw this skeleton, and the rock from
which it was taken. the day after ii had
been discovered The bones. were in a
good state of preservati on. A portion of
the skull may be seen at our Office.
DR.. J. G. F. Holston, in an article in the
GAINESVILLE Courier, speaking of the discov-
cry of the human bones says
Il made a comparison of these bones
with some of those in the Atheneum, COM
prlsing fossil sheep, OK, and tusk of an
elephant. All yet contained animal matter,
\dppdrtHtiy Htlie uiinihisheu " III all hau
the phosphate of lime to great extent been
replaced by carbonate all were penetrated
by oxyde of iron, aud those of the sheep
aud human being also by metallic iron. In
calclning, the elephant tusk lost II TO 10
per cent; the human bones, "a to 81; the
sheep, 40 to AZ; the OK Al to AZ. The ell.
ephant tusk had probably been subjected 10
destructive agencies from which the Others
were exempt The owners Of those bones
seem to have been contemporaries of the
same period, and as lar as present evidence
goes, the human bones appear to be the old

THE DEAcON's DREAM.
By BUNG

ons nipb,. Deacon of the church.,
When slumber,s chain had hound him,
Was agita,ed by dream
Which fancy wove around him.
M tboupht of church passed Ger his mind
No uious cares disturbed him,
No holy writ nor mandate, then,
From " SHINING monstrous" curbed him.
And fancy filled his st ore brim-full
of men and bo, g and women,
Who came to quaf dram orso-
Then business went on "sw immin'."
His casks of precious liquor seemed
As touched by some bright fairy,
To show a growing void within,
Which aye appeared to vary.
But ringing silver fast repaid
The Deacon for his whisky;
" Cash on the nail" his maxim was,
For credit was so risky.
In short, the Deacon soon became
A millionaire in glory,
And boosted wealth which could be told
In neither song nor story.
At length, one day, person came,
Clad in sable livery,
And gave note, with request
Of payment on delivery"
The note was for the Deacon soul
A shuddering fear stole DER him,
As, looking up again, in dread,
The Devil stood before him
He, powerless, sank upon the floor,
The hand of death was on him;
His brain reeled meath its crushing weight,
As darkness stole upon him.
A thousand fends around him flew,
And him they seemed to speak on,
As, bowling, oft they shrieked aloud -
"The Devil has got the Deacon!"
",Twas but dream" He walked again,
Resolved it was warning
That Deacons shouldn't count too much
On wealth and vain adjoining.
And ever after, when his steps
In duty seemed to weaken,
A voice in warning seemed to say
UThp Devil has got the Deacon !! "
