THE PAST ExHuMED.-The latest intel
ligence respecting the Archaeological Re-
searches which M. Place, the French Con-
sui at M osul, has long been pursuing on the
site of the Assyrian Palace at Khorsabad, is
Of some interest, in connection with the
previous 1epor, Of Mr.. Lay ard, the English
explorer:
''Following his trenches, he has succeed
ed in finding wall Of painted and enamel
led bricks, in fine preservation, representing
men, animals and ,lees-,he first specimen
Of Assyrian painting giving complete and
undefsced subject which has up to this time
been discovered. He has thus been euabl-
ed to show the manner in which those in
mense heaps of enameIled bricks were used,
which so abound iE the neighboshood Of
Nineveh and Babylon.
"These discoveries abundanily confirm
The correctness Of tie descriptions Of C,es-
las and Diodorus regarding the palaces Of
the kings Of ASsyria, the walls Of which
they describe as covered with paintings in
enamel, representing the various incidents
of The chase. These frs. results are, how
ever, ecirsed by another, which gives us
an entirely new phase Of Assyrisn art Not
far from The wall above described Nj. Place
was fortunate enough to find The first statue
| ye, exhumed from these ruins. This figure,
in admirable preservation, is represented
holding flask or bollle, and about four feet
and half in height, chiselled from the same
marble as the bas-reliefs already described
! by Layard. There are certain indications
which render Improbable that rendan. to this
statue may yet be found a. the opposite ex-
l.em,y of the passage"
Punch very sIanderously makes use OF
the following
"The sun is called masculine, from bis
supporting and sustaining the moon, and IN
finding her the wi,ha TO shine away as she
does of night, and from his being Obliged
to keep such family of stars besides. The
moon is feminine, because she is constantly
changing, Just as chip is blown abou! by
every win!. The church is feminine be-
cause she is married 10 The slate And time

LETTER FROM Hon. J. G. CHAPMAN
We copied las. week from the Baltimore
Sun, paragraph, in which it was stated that
The Hon. John G. Chapman declined being
considered candidate for The Wing nomi-
nation for Governor. The Sun derived its
information from letter published in the
Patriot, which we had no! seen. As the
reasons for declining the honor which Mr..
Chapman's numerous friends would confer
upon him, were not fully stated in the para
graph, we give place in our columns to
his letter, which we annex:
GLEN ALB1N, CHARLES County,
May "a, 1853.
To the Editors Of the Baltimore Patriot:
A paragraph appeared in the Baltimore Patriot
some two weeks ago, upon the subject of the nomi-
nation of candidate tor Governor of the State,
in which my name was mentioned in such terms
as to command my grateful thanks for the Kindness
confidence and respect which the writer, who is
unknown to me, has been pleased to express for
me. | have also had so many inquiries made Of
me- from almost every part of the State, whether
| would yield to the wishes of my friends and con-
sent to be candidate, that think 1t would be
wrong to disregard them longer, and have thought
it proper to express myself through your paper.
| feel sensible of the high honor which many Of
my friends would confer upon me, and | am CRATE
full for their confidence and respect. But there
are many considerations which prevent me from
being candidate for that position.
The situation Of my affairs and the demands
Of large family require my attention, and would
prohibit my leaving home for four years, which
the constitution requires the Governor to do !: and
moreover, custom seems to require that those who
are presented to the consideration Of the people
for that station, should canvass the State, which
under no consideration could do, and am salts
fed that the views Of the conservative party in the
State will be best promoted by selecting some one
whose business has connected him with the grea
financial and commercial interests so important t.
the State, and who has not been identified will
questions OF political power, and against whom
those portions Of the State that favored the
reforms in the constitution could have no cause o
complaint for opinions honestly entertained an,
fearIessly expressed by me, adverse to thos
changes in the organic law.
The State has now large amount invested AM
and deep interest in her works of internal i'm
movement, and it seems to me fit that some on
should be selected for that high station whose ex
nerience has made him familiar with the State
nolicy. and whose attention has been directed t
financial subjects.
| shall give my cordial support to any gentle
man of conservative views, who may be presente
either by convention or otherwise, and feel cor
fdent that such candidate supported with unar
imitv hv the Whis party, can be elected.
am respectfully, your friend and fellow either
