Assyrian Discovery.

Nebuchadnezzar Dug Up.-It is stated
that Col. Rawlinson who is at present en-
gagged in prosecuting the discoveries COM
menced by Layard and Botta, and in ex-
huming from the mounds Of the long lost
rival cities Of Nineveh and Babylon, the
instructive remains OF this once gigantic
power, has lately discovered in state Of
perfect preservation, what is believed to be
the mummy Of Nebuchadnezzar. The
face of the rebellious monarch Of Babylon
covered by one Of those gold masks
usually found in Assyrian tombs, is des-
cribcd as very handsome-the forehead
high and commanding, the features mark
ed and regular, This interesting relic OF
remote antiquity is for the present preserv-
ed in the Museum of the East India Com.
pany. Of all the mighty empires which
have left lasting impression on the
memory, none has so completely persisted
as that of Assyria. More than two
thousand years have gone by. since the
two "great Cities" renowned for their
strength, their luxury, and their magnifi-
cence, have crumbled into dust, leaving
no visible trace of their existence, their
very sites forgotten. A chance traveller,
Layard. riding through the Mesopotamian
valley, discovered "the buried city," and
with success that will immortalize his
name, has commenced to unroll the book
OF Assyrian history and civilization, which
of all the histories of the first periods Of
the world, is most clearly connected with
the subsequent destinies Of the human race.
The discoveries already made furnish
ample testimony to refute the sceptic and
unbeliever Of scripture truth.--[N. o.

~ In suggesting the propriety of such
Improvements, &C., as will have tenden'
Icy to enhance and rebound to the well-be-
ing ofthe parish, we are adverse to indulg-
ing in verbose dissertations in order to
elucidate the benefits which are likely to
accrue from them. So in order to be curt,
we will say that the desired desideratums
which are necessary to make our flourish
ing little city, the Eden spot Of Louisiana,
are simply as follows:
A we'll organized Corporation, the neces-
sity of which has been fully demonstrated
lately by no license being imposed on
shows, and other little etccteras. Cd
The erection Of a magnificent Market.
A branch Railroad running from this
town, or some convenient part OF the par
ish, to the depot. a hsa Rises
The laying out Of vacant lands in Hon.
ma, into lots, and the erection of buildings
theron. Capitalists and proprietors Of
land could not enter into . better invest
ment and speculation at present. The ex-
horbitant rents exacted, are nothing The
cry is, ..More Houses - So where 10 the

no hesitation in saying that the Smiths will
