AN ANCIENT RELIo.--We were shown yesterday by
Mr.. ANsoN NELSON powder horn, which, according
to the Inscription upon It, was just one hundred
years old 1t appears to have been the property of
"Alexr Sutherland" and bears date "Septr 10th,
I76I" 1t is an ordinary cows horn, of medium
size, and contains an deliberately engraved map of
the Hudson river from New York up to Schenaeta-
dy. There il first representation of the city and
harbor of New York, with number Of ships in the
harbor and the British flag f1sting over some pub
lie buildings in the city. Up the Hudson river
short distance We. come to q windmill, SO famous
among the old Dutch colonies of that age.
Then We have Albany, Half Noon, Still Water, Fort
George and Schenectady. We have representa-
ton Of Hell Gate" in the Bay of New York. and
farther down the "blus water" is 8 representation
Of New London, Conn, with ships pass under full
sail The horn is also ornsmented with full length
picture Of ALEx'R SUTHERLAND, dressed in the mill
tsry costume of Scottish Highlander in the act of
drawing his sword. or Mr.. SUTHERLAND we have
this brief history ALEXANDER Sutherland, In
the /: Il: B: and Cspt'n sinclair's Com" The en-
craving on the hsrn has evidently besT-done with q
pocket knife, and is 8 remArkably well executed
piece Of work, and we doubt not ALEx'R SUTHERLAND
was proud of his horn.
What the history of this horn is We cannot tell.
What important part it may have played in the
stirring times subsequent to its date, is probably
unwritten, or how it came to this portion Of the
country mustremsin mystery. II came into the
possession of the Rev. Dr. q. n McTYEIRE, editor
Of the Nashville Ckristatn Advocate, last week,
while on visit to Douglas Chapel, in the county
"of Williamson. Mr.. F. G.. RATC11FFE, of that
county says it has been in that neighborhood time
{" out Of mind"
This powder hOrn," says Dr.. MoTYEBE, in pre-
senting it to the Historical Society Of Tennessee,
''has seen service-genuinely old, not ar ifclally
antique" It's appearance tells history which
no pen can write
