Mr.. BRoDERICK's WnL.-The Washin gton
correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
says:
The will ofthe late Senator Broderick was
found among his papers left here. II award,
ten thousand dollars to John A. McGlynn, O.
San Francisco. and the remainder to George
Wilkes, of New York. 1t is estimated that
the whole estate, after paying his debts. will
amount TO between eighty and ninety thou
sand dollars. The executors are John A Nc
GIynn, of California. George Wilkes. of New
York, and Asdrew j. Butter, OF California
The will was made in 1855.
The generosity of Broderick towards Wilkes
arose from the fact that they were tried per-
sonal friends, of long standing. and Mr.. Bro
derrick was induced by Mr.. Wilkes to acquire
a taste for literature and devote himself to
the study of history, which Broderick always
afterwards acknowledged to be the best ad-
vice he ever received.

ry has lately been made public. Gibbon
had long ago, in his great work, pointed
out, as .the most authentic of relies the
bronze serpent on which was placed tho
golden tripod made by Tho Greeks from
the spoils Of Xerxes, and dedicated to the
Temple of Apollo at Delphi as related by
Hcrodotus. after the battle Of Plata This
was carried to his new capital by the En-
pcror Constantine. and though mutilated
by the iconoclostic zeal Of the conqueror

difficult to reconcile the present appear
ance ofthc monument with the descriptions

thrown on its authenticity but during the
recent occupation Of fConstantinople by the
allied powers in the Crimean war, cxcava.
sions were made, and the serpent pedestal
laid bare TO its base, where, by the appli
cation of chemical solvents. the original
Hellenic inscription, recording the names
OF the Greek States which had fough
against the Persians, was recovered. IT.

Discovery of a Cave in Florida

The following account of the discovery
of remarkable cave in Florida is from
correspondent Of the New York Journal
of Commerce
The structure of the under stratum of
rock and earth in Florida is cavernous to
great extent. Indeed as far as explora-
tons have been made, the ground presents
the appearance of a honeycomb, on ac-
count of the numerous cavities which arc
found to exist. Those indentafions in tho
surface of the earth, called sinks abound
here-some of them dry and others par
tialIy filed with water; while rivers dis
appear und the ground and are seen no
more. Florida is not only "thc land of
flowers" buf also the land of wonders
A few days AGO Mr.. Henry Wooten and
myself started on hunting expedition.
with the intention Of camping out several
days. On Saturday, the Goth day Of Sep :.
tembcr, we pursued deer into hammock
aud attempting TO ride through is, Mr..
Wooten's horse stumbled into = small sink. (.
While Mr.. Wooten was endeavoring 10 cx-
tricatc his horse, dismounted, and was

stone which had attracted my attention. -
On one of them found an inscription, MS
| if craven with some steel instrument. br.
nearly oblitsratcd by the ravages of time
Mr.. Wooten by this time had led his
horse safely out of tho sink, and, on re.
Joining me, said he had discovered cave.
After vianly endeavoring TO decipher the
strange inscriptions which had found we
earch collected an armful of pinewood to
servo for torches. On arriving At The en-
trance, we saw by the light Of our torches
that the bottom of the cavern was several
feet below us. Handing my torch to my
friend | prepared to descend, which ac-
complished with ease, the rocks serving as
steps Wooten then handed me down an
armful of light wood and torch, and pre-
pared to descend further We now found
ourselves in subterraneous passage, ten
feet high aud fifteen feet wide We pur.
sued this passage for nearly half a mile
it growing larger at every step, and ap.
pearing to descend into the earth by an
easy inclination, when we unexpectedly
found ourselves in cave of immense ex
tent. We explored it in every direction
sometimes entering small cayerns which
led of from the main cave. We finally
entered a sortof square doorway, and found
ourselves in cavern Of most beautiful ap
pearanco, the reflection Of our light'
against the sides producing magnificent
effect. For the 6rst time in my life fel
the full force of that beautiful description
which Goldsmith has given Of the grotto 0
Antiparos.
But the most wonderful thing that me
our view in this cave was a Latin inscrip
ton, craven in tho solid rock. The in
Iscription stated that party of Danes hu'
Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1857-1865, 1860-11-09

visited this cavein the year 1850, and that
a priest who had accompanied theih had
left this memorial of their visit. The name
of the priest was Marcus Poicus. IL also
stated that those bold navigators had en-
barked on avoyage Of exploration, and had
been driven Ear South also, that they had
visited many large islands, aud finally had
landed in thickly populated country,
whsre the people received them kindly,
thinking them superior beings that sew
eral Of their number, together with some
Greek artisans and two priests, had been
left there as a colony. This is tho sub.
stance of tho inscription rs far as it could
bo deciphered Now, does this not sug-
eest no important inquiry to the antigua
rian /? Is It not probable that the islands
mentioned we're the West Indies, and may
not the country where they landed be
Mexico? We all know that the ancient
Mexicans had tradition that about four
hundred years before the landing Of Cor
tez in that country, 'Children Of the Sun,
with white faces, came to them and taught
them the arts of civilization. Is 1t not
probable that this colony Of Danes and
Greeks. with their two Latin priests, were
the persons referred to by tradition2 Per-
haps many buried secrets concerning the
early history Of America may be revealed
by that strange device.
This wonderful cave is easy Of access,
and situated few miles from the Florida
railroad, and about ten miles from Waldo,
