full and valuable discoveries may be made
by excavation, and has promised to re.
turn in four weeks to assist in making
further examinations into the my stsrious
affair.
The ruins are situated in tho midst Of
a dense thicket. almost impenetrable, and
in all probability would not have been

a bear near the spot, iu quest Of which
the gentlemen went
Mr. Smith is surprised that the survey
or who surveyed tho country did not make
this discovery as Mr. Johuson's limo
passes within two feet Of the marble col.
umn described, and lins tree marked
within thirty feet Of it.
There have been a grea, many eviden-
ces discovered proving the settlou.ut Of
this country anterior TO the present race;
but this is the surest testimony We have
yet seen proving the civilization Of tho
race which preceded u.s.
The most mysterious part Of thi. affair
is the marble employed in the structure,
as it ia we'll known that no marble is to
be found in this ountry nearer than
Austin, and il would be an utter imposi-
bility to transport 30 massive piece as
this is reported to be, by land carriage.
The only reaso 1ahle conclusion We can
come to is, that the heavy material was
exported from the river countries and
brought up the San Jaclnso river by wa.
ter to within mile aud half Of the
structure. The fact is, the whole affair
is profound impsnetrabls mystery, and
We should be disposed to doubt tha exist

Autumn Woods.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Ere, in the northern gale,
The summer tresses of the trees are gone,
The woods of autumn, all around our vale
Have put their glory on.
The mountains that infold,
In their wide sweep, the colorcd landscape
round,
Seem groups of giant Kings, in purple and
gold
That guard the enchanted ground.
/ roam the woods that crown
The upland where the mingled splendors glow,
Where the gay company of trees look down
On the green fields below.
My steps are not alone,
In these bright walks the sweet southwest
at play,
Flies rustling where the painted leaves are
strown
Along the winding way.
And far in heaven the while
The sun, that sends the gale to wander here,
=
The sweetest Of the year.
Where now the solemn shade,
Vcrdure and gloom where many branches
meet;
So grateful, when the noon Of summer made
The valley sick with heat.
Let in through all the trees
Come the strange rays the forest depths are
bright
Their sunny coiored foliage, in the breeze,
Twinkes, the beams OF light
The rivulet, late unseen.
Where pickering through the shrubs its wa
tcrs run,
Shines with the image Of its golden screen,
And gl',rmcrinss OF the sun.
Oh, autumn why so soon
Depart the hucs that makes thy forest glad 4;
Thy gentle wind and thy fair sunny moon,
And leave thee wild and sad
All 'twcre lot too blessed
Forever in thy co,orcd shades to stray;
Amid the kisses of the soft southwest
To rove and dream for aye
And leave the vain, low strife
That makes men mad-tho tug for wealth
and power,
The passions snl cares that ~ither life,
And waste its little hour.

Ancient Ruins in Texas.

The Washington American has received
information of some ancient ruins, which
if correct, must possess great interest
foi our readers. as furnishing another
link in the chain of evidences showing
that this continent was inhabitcd years
ago BY highly civilized race Of men.
The fact that this discovery has, as is
reported, been made almost in onr neigh
borhood, in what is called Big Thicket
on the San Jaciuto, will probably cause
some of our readers to be incrednlous.
The discovery is said to have been made
by Mr.. Smith in company with two or
three other men, while examining a tract
of land belonging to Mr. Johnson, about
twenty miles distant from Montgomery.
Tho fragments show that they are the
remains of an edifce of remarkable and
magnificent architecture, constructed Of
material nowhere TO be found 10 this
country. We copy the description as
follows:
Tie only portion of this gigantic struc.
ture, which remain, whole, is marble COL
umn, 6uted and surmounted by capital,
upon WulVH 10 Vaifcu ou Vuo Siuo sucat
Of wheat, and on the other something
which was supposed to be waterfall
but somewhat defaced on the other two
sides is a plain engraving Of evergreen.
A portion Of another column was also
found, about the same size. The column
that remains whole is about sixteen feet
in fength The foundation Of the edi6ec
covers an area 3 10 by 260 feet. There ap.
pearod to be four main entrances, and
Mr.. Smith believes, though j. is no. GER
tain, there was on each side of the build
ing a portico fronting about ono third Of
the distance. There are great many
fragments Of 6ue workmanship. but the
gentleman accompanying Mr. Smith had
not time to place them together to ascer-
tain to what part Of :he immense build
irg they belonged. "n

COOKING WITHOUT FIRE--A patent
has been recently granted to Mr.. ALBRo,
of Bury bamplain, N j., for culinary
con,rivance for cooking withou. fire.
The required caloric is generated BY
the employment of lime and water. Be
tween these two substances there n .
strong chemical affinity, and whom they
are brought 10 contact, in the proper pro-
portions, they unite With such rspidity
and energy as to develop an intense heat.
No decomposition takes place, and there
fore no gas escapes thus heat is produ-
ced without combustion, The inventor
turns this phenomenon into highly use
full purpose in the present Improvements.
During an experiment made in our othes
the other day with one OF these contri'
yances, we cooked a slice Of ham, stewed
a dish Of apples, baked some other aP.
pies, and boiled quantity of water, all
at once, at a consumption Of perhaps n
quarter Of cents worth Of limo. The
Inventor makes several different sizes
the largest does not exceed a lady's, baud
box. Among them is dinner'pail pat
