ANCIENT FoRTIFICATIoN IN KENTCKY.-
OF the relics in which Kentucky abounds of
the work of ages anterior to the presence of
the Anglo Saxon on the western hemisphere,
one Of the most remarkable is said to exist in
Allen county, on the Tennessee border and
seventeen miles from Bowling Greeu, where a
wall of solid limestone, two hundred yards in
length, forty feet high thirty feet at the base,
and six feet at the top, crosses a neck formed
by bend in brakes Creek, and encloses
peninsula of two hundred acres, enclosed by
wall and ditch, forming one of the strongest
fortresses N the world. 1t is not improbable
that the fortunes of war may cause this old
fortitication to be occupied by hostile force,
and made to play prominent part in this
civil contest Louisville Journal
