~ Several mounds and other relics of
antiquity have been discovered in Claiborne
county, Mississippi. About two feet beneath
the surface ct one of the mounds, situated
some ten miles from Port Gibson, were found
twenty one skulls, as close together as they
could lie, and all except one placed horizon
tally. Some were in q state of almost COM
plete preservation. Two large smoking
pipes were also taken out. and some Of the
persons present imagined they could perceive
the stale smell Of tobacco, as we detect it in
an old pipe. Also hollow cup two and a
half inches square at the base, ut the height
of two inches drawn in and made circular,
and higher up bullying so as to give dame
ter of three inches at the top, the whole
height being four and half inches. Also,
two vessels, similar to our kitchen pots, with
out feet, capable of holding three or four
quarts each. Also, one bottle which would
hold about one pint, and shaped precisely as
our water bottles on dinner table. These
vessels were made of clay.

@A gentleman in Greencastle, Ind, has
received letter from tho Chief Justice Of
Utah, in which he states that the Mormons
have destroyed over a million of dollars
worth of Government stores, and have taken
about two thousand head Of meat cattle and
some mules. They had also imprisoned a
number of U. S. troops. burned the grass in
order to siarve the cattle, mules and horses,
and are now endeavoring to starve the U. S.
troops to death. Fort Bri1ger is about l25
miles from Salt Lake City, and it is stated
that the Mormons have erected notifications
about every twenty or thirty miles of this
distance. in order to entrap the soldiers as
they pass along.

Health of the President

Advices from Washington represent the
President to be in feeble health. The i'm
mense labor imposed upon the head of the
nation-the cares and anxieties of the posi-
tion-are enough to overtax the physical
powers of the most vigorous of men in the
prime Of life. The President should be less
ineumbered with the details of official busi-
ness.
II he would relieve himself Of the de-
grading service Of dispensing by his own
hands the official rewards to hungry and
subservient partizans, of every degree,
from tide waiter to foreign diplomat,
he would elevate the dignity o! his sta
ton and promote his own health and
happiness. The disposition to play the
soyereign-to make himself "the state"
the sole fountain of lie wards and hon.
ors. brings its own punishment to the
President that INDUCES in it. Nothing
has so tended to debase the dignity OF
the Presidential office as the practice,
encouraged by the incumbents, Of allow
ing the hungry rival applicants for every
petty Office to appeal directly to the
President for appointment. 1t degrades
the Chief Magistrate to retail dispenser
of small offices, and keeps him dabbling
in the vilest filth Of local and party poll
tics; and subjects him to an intercourse
with a class Of political mercenarles, who
by flattery and deception mislead him in
regard to the sentiments Of the country
and betray him into errors fatal 10 him
self as well as to the country, and by per
sonal subserviency, induce him at last Il
exact fealty to the President as condi
ton of official rewards, rather than devo
ton to principle and the party. Their
is no sign Of the times more portentiou
Of evil than this perversion Of the ofiic
Of Chief Magistrate; and no other Presi
dent has dore so much to extend an
confirm the abuse as Mr.. Buchanan
He has apparently aimed to concentrat
within himself the entire patronage an

- ia the Senate of Louisiana on the 2sth
ult., Mr.. st. Paul, Senator from New Orleans,
introduced bill authorizing the Governor
Of the State to make arrangements for the
importation Of 500 free Blacks from the coast
of Africa. A correspondent Of the Delta
says. that when it was read by the Secretary,
such Of the Senator'S as were not prepared for
any thing so utterly astounding gazed around
them rs though they were under the impress
sion that minc had exploded. 1t was a
theme OF much conversation and varied COM
mentsi in the House. as it will prove wEer-
ever il is known. The South will soon be-
come familiar with the idea Of negro impor-
tation. and the time is not far distant, VIC
fear, when emigrant ships from Africa will
be more numerous in the port Of New Or
leans than those from Europe. The remarks
Of the Delta show how rapidly the South is
approaching its consideration as q practical
measure. Itsays:
1t Is a great point gained. let the particu-
lar measure Of Mr.. st. Paul share what fate
it may. 1t will lead to some sound thinking
on the SUBJECT, doubtless; and sound think
ing will lead to effective action in the end
perhaps.
The Federal Government stands like
hideous Cerberus at the very portal Of South
ern enterprise. determined that the South
shall not, in logical consistence with her owl
ideas Of right and wrong and the pecuiia,
structure of her society, add to the number
Of her slave, laborers by importations from
Africa. But the French have lately set u,
an instructive example. The French are at
this moment importing as free emigrants from
Africa. robust and willing laborers into their
with energy, ard their colonies, long Ian
gushing, are about to leap into unwonted
productiveness.

Wise is so onihipotenc In his State that even
his letter to the Tamniary Society, in which
theg see so much of treason, has not torn him
down from the eminence he occupies in the
largest slaveholding State in the Unlon.-
We wIlfanticipate the question and answer
it in few words. 1t is because the people
Of Virgtnid kno,c the man. Because he has
the heart Of patriot, the head of states
man, and the spirit Of hero. Because his
views on all questions, whether Of local,
State, or Federal policy, are never contract
ed, but always comprehensive. and generally
original and practical. Because he thinks
for himself, without waiting for the wind
vane Of popular sentiment to direct him.
Because has allegiance to the South is based
upon conriaious IF justice and right; and be-
cause that Tansnlany letter proclaims prin-
ciple upon the maintenance of which the
equality and security Of the slave States in
the Union depend. When the letter appear
ed in the public prints, we expressed the
opinion that it was calculated to embarrass
the Democratic party, or that portion of it,
at least, which concurrcd with the Admins
tration in favor OF the acceptance of the Lee
ompton Constitution without further condi-
tons. We still think so. But we have
never dissented from the views it announced
on the abstract principle-that in this eoun-
| try the people alone are sovereign and SUI
preme. And no mares DISPUTE that prin-
ciple, without rendering himself liable to
be charged with being monarchist. Gov
ernor Wise has always been jealous defen-
| der of popular rights. And in no instance
has he ever more boldly declared his senti-
ments on any subject than on the Kansas
question, in his Tammany letter.
! He may be assailed in the South and ap-
plauded in the North, but no right minded
man in either section will ever really doubt
that he is still the same bold vindicator OF
Southern rights. the same patriotic cham pior
of the Constitution and the Union. the same
fearless tribune of the people" that he has
ever been since the early commencement o
| his political career. For fairness, fearless
ness, energy and genius, the American peo
pie can point to no man in the nation snpe
rior to Henry A. Wise. He stands befor,
the country in proud position. AS
Southern man he says to the North, we vii
not ehcroach upon ycur rights. and you mus
not eucroach upon ours. We contend 70
principles, for fairness. justice. and equality
We demand them Of you, and We will cor
eede them to you. You shall not defrau,
us, and we will take no unfair advantage Q
you. Such is his attitude regardless Of tb
elamor of his enemies.

EARLY MARRIAGES ADvocATED.-Rev. DR..
BELOW, in his last lecture befor the Lowell
Institute, strongly urged the necessity of
early marriages rs the only remedy for that
RIGHTEOUSNESS so prevalent among the youth
OF our large cities, and soundly berated
the women for their extravagant tastes and
expensive habits, which, as he alleged, deter
young men of small means from entering
