Prof. A, D. White, of the Harrodsburg Female
College, communicates to the Press The pafticu-
lars Of the discovery Of lie skeleton Of large
animal recently exhuned near Pleasant Hill, Mar.
Ger county. He says while some woFkmen were
engaged in eXcavatng a ditch, upon farm be-
longing to the Shakers, about four miles FROM
| town, near the Lexington pike. they came across
the skeleton OF gigantic animal. The bones were
preserved with as machcafe as possible, and taken
| to Shakertown, where the Professor SAW them and
took careful measurement OF some OF the homes
| from which an idea can perhaps be formed of The
size of the animal The head measured, as it lay
upon the rock on which it was found, three and
half feet from side to side. and was over five feet
in length. The eye sockets were six inches m
| width by seven and one half in length. The tusks
were the most remarkable feature Of the whole
skeleton, being nearly two feet in circumference
where they emerged from the head and tern.ine-.
4 ted abruptly as though broken, after being traced
nearly nine feet. AT their termination they meas.
ured about sixteen inches in circumference, lead
ing US to suppose they We're, in their natural state,
not far from fifteen or sixteen feet in length. The
teeth were well proportOned to the rest of the
/ skeleton. He measured one OF the molars and
| found it to measure from front to rear and from
side to side four inches. The enamel was arranged
in transverse layers bands the surface OF
/ the tooth, and from this VIC would suppose the
| animal when alive bore close resemblance to the
Aslatic elephant Of the present day. The ribs
| presented no peculiar characteristic except their
great size.
The head Of the Femnr measured twenty three
inches in circumference, and was in an excellent
state of preservation From the measurements
thus made, an idea can be formed of the monstfOns
size of the animal to which these bones belonged.
! The question of interest now is TO what genus can
| it be referred the characteristics of its proper
class being very manifest. Some who have exan-
ined the remains came to the conclusion that they
belonged to the Mastodon but after careful inves
tigation the Professor led to believe they be-
longed more properly to the Mammoth, an animal
| different in some respects FROM the MastodOn,
| though belonging to the same class. Its habits
were essentially those of the Elephant. The skel-
eton was embedded in, the depth of over six feet,
and had probably lain there for many centuries, il
not for ages. If the bones belong to the Mammoth,
it is the first that has been found in latitude as
far South this in this country, though the skele-
tons of Mastedons very common in Kentucky

The pressure in the money MARKET noticed in
our last report, has continued unabated through
out the week, and the transactions in our lending
staple have been even more limited than previous
ly. The sales amount to not more than $50 bales,
namely, 800 Monday, 200 Tuesday $50 Wednesday,
100 Thursday, leo Friday, and none today. Prices
have been Irregular, so much so that no correct
quotations can be given. Most of the sales, how
ever, have been made at from 81 to l0c for mid
ding.
Here there is no demand at all, and sales for
cash can hardly be effected at any price The
stock in the meantime is aecnmnating, and unless
there is let up in money affairs SO that exchange
can be moved, factors will be compelled to resort
to shipments.

AUSTIN, Nov. 29.-Ediors Nears-I left Calves

lengthy memorial of our citizens to his Excelency
sam Houston, praying him to convene our State
Legislature, for the purpose of taking into con.
slderation the present crisis in the affairs of Texas,
and the South generally.
few miles from La Grange met the Houston
delegation returning who had visited Austin with
the memorial to the Governor from the citizens of

was most graciously received when the memorial
was presented, and the following is the substance
/ Of the verbal reply made by his Excellency:
/ :. shall wait patiently for an expression from
the people, and when am satisfied as to their
| wishes, will not stand in their way.n
| ] asked if he would take the memorials that
were being presented to him as an expression of
| the wishes Of the people. He answered in the
affirmative, with the remark .ethat he had found
/ Texas in very bad condition a number of times,
/ out of which he had gotten her, but that she was
now old enough to take care of herself, and if she
| was bent upon her own destruction by secession,
he would not go with her." and, t'that he thanked
the Lord that he could resign his seat at any time
he saw proper.o
Yesterday l again waited upon his Exeellency,
and asked for written reply TO his memorialists,
which he declined giving, but repeated a portion
/ of the language used on Monday, with this addi-
/ tional remark, "that when he became satisfied as
] to the wishes of the people, expressed through q
/ Convention, he would not stand in their way.'
