clearing away the Palace of Mednet Habora,
in discovering the celebrated Egyptian Calen-
dar, Of which Champollion could ouly COPY the
hrst lines. cast Of this monument was taken
on the spot, by means of particular kind of
composition, photography not reproducing ii
properly. Different colossal figures, the upper
part of which were only visible, have been now
cleared away and brought to light one of them,
in excellent preservation, shows the features of
Ramases ILL.,, and is about nineteen metres
high. Mr. Greene, in clearing around this CO.
lossus, was able to discover and take drawings
of the inscriptions of the pylone OF grand portal
erected between the two courts; and he has also
proved the existence of pavement in granite
which probably covered the whole court, and
above which rose passage which appears to
have led into second court. The excavations
of Mr., Greene, which have just completely made
known one of the most important edifces of
Pharaonic Egypt, WILL by the numerous inscrip-
tions which they furnish throw fresh light on

Mr.. Editor The letter Of your

BY many, laid at the wrong door
vis. that of yeur humble servant
Now, as | AZ, a modest man, and

wish to rob my young friend of any o.
his acquired laurels. Young P
If I have guessed right, and ! am q
tolerable hand atsn, is man whom
some would call middle.aged, but he
is 10 the prime of life; married Of
course, and very fond of coming down

visible in every sentence of his letter
We all think him rising youth, and
he has the good wishes of all around
him. He is very fond Of female soci.
ETY. in general, as / was in my young
days in that respect, he troy follows IN
the footsteps of his illustrious prede-
cessor.
Encourage him Mr.. Editor in writ
ing. but advise him to turn his atten-
ton to something more profitable than
scoring Old Fogies; for we all know,
that will avail him nothing. IF he
wishes to make bis ten talents yield
him an hundred, he must steer in an
other channel. Those old Fogies are
behind the age; we only occasionally
bear their mutterings, and regrets,
that "tiraes ism t as they used to Mas, y
when they had all the fat Offices to
themselves, and none to modest or
make them afraid. They will pass off
the stage of action, therefore

and manner that suits them best.

other thing, the bouncing upon the
old Fogy nominee for Congress-
Poor Tom, n cripple and worn out
demagogue, to be prosecuted so I'M
r1ercifully,, by young and stalwart

treating upon facts. Whoever accused
old Tom Green Of being honest, pc.
litically Let him run his race in
peace. Il will be bad enough to beat
him in the outcome, without goading
bin at the onset. You will please as.
sure young P, Mr.. Editor, that

that you may long live to enlighten

The TRUE DOUTHERNbR.--A Ill
jackson sheet, misses wide the mark,
when IL charger Us with attempted
witicisms At his expense. Our natur'
al proclivity is to gravity and serious
ness, 10 much 80, that could we play
hypocrite--should at once apply for
the nearest worm out I" clerical orders.
We have made no effort to "ridicule
the title of the True Southerner, and
therefore have made no "obortive ef-
fort When the Comet feels like
"abortivs attempts" at any thing, 1t
would like to have the counteuence
Of the True Southerner to look on,
that il may have an easy time.
Does the True Soathsrner, place US in
the category of "those who are ready
to admit the charges brought against
the South by the fanatics Of the North,
thus, 10 the language Of one Of our
.ablest Southern statesmen, occupying
The position Of one eonfessing his crime
and begging for mercy those who
embrace our society, and are aliens to
US in sentiment and feeling
If this language is inteudsd to sp-
ply to us, We are ready at once. to COM
pare hands with the man at the helm
of the True Southerner. We are neitb-
70 afraid Or ashamed to have otr past
private life reviewed, and cur efsnions
are to be arrived At by the mere asking.
Of our leaning to knavery, We make
public confession but deny the change
Of Icing 80 much fool, as 10 desire
any change in the peculiar institutions,
that would affect the interest Of this
people, and thus prejudice our own.
We are identified with this section ;
and shall in time to come, as time past,
defend IL from, all adventurers.
May we ask, is the editor Of the True
Southerner, citizen of jackson or any
other place in the State !? If 80, how
long has II been so? Il the editor Of
the True Southerner has lived long
enough in Baton Rouge to be satisfied
As he says: that nothing has ever
vel been able 10 survive under the
overwhelming destructiveness Of the
Comets vehement support" be had
better not run against us in his angry
mood, for we have q sharpened point

WHERE rs THE LIMIT ?--Corpo-


WHERE rs THE LIMIT !-Corpo-
rate bodies certainly have some limit
to their authority, but it has been
80 often transcribed, that the mark
is nearly, if not quite rubbed out.
The Legislature in granting charters
to towns, should simplyo say: Pom
peii (for instance), has right to
regulate its external as well Is 10.
terual policy, and with a board Of
common council do whatever it pleases.
There is but little use in entering
into PARTICULARS, for charters in gen.
eral, arc never read more than one
time, and that by the proof reader.
There has always been an unde-
fined and unsettled question in ref
ereuce to the boundry Of this city ;
and although we dislike to ogitate
the matter, still it ought to be de-
fined, and settled, in order that the
tax collector may go to its last limit,
and get all he may. Pray tell us,
how high up, and how low down
how tar forward and back, does The
town go? Tradition has fixed it's
limits to mile square; but the old
gentleman who measured it, has moul-
dcred away into dust and the pins
set by him, havS decayed. On the
river, we are entitled to mile front,
but where to commence with the
measure, no man knoweth. A very
grave question arises in reference to
the said front, which has called into
existence a singular suit. VIM. P.
Coke, Esqr., wharf master, sues Rich
ard Markham, Esqr, because the
said Richard, refuses to pay the said
Coke certain amounts, claimed to be
due by the said Richard to said
Coke, for wharfage. Richard refuses
and denies the charge. First, be-
cause The said Coke, is bound down
and limited in his right to collect
tribute. by the corporation lines (mark
that-Me corporation lines) and he
has therefore no light to step over
on the Garrison batture. and then ask
the said Richard, wharfage for his
coal boat, there located. Hence the
suit, and the firm resolve Of Richard
to contest the right, per ocuto belh.
The question is-and it is a very
knotty one has the corporation q
right, beyond its right; and if so,
how far does it 60, in a wrong d.
rection 2" This would be a good
question for the Lyceum to take up
and put to rest 49,

NATIVE WINE.-The grape crop in
