Several years ago, this county at a
heavy expense, built Jail, which, at
the time, was considered model for durs-
bility and convenience. Experience has
proven that it has only one quality of
good prison that is, the prisoner is safe so
far as escape is concerned, but the health of
those confined seems never to have been
taken into consideration when the Jail was
built. No sunlight penetrates the cells, no
ventilation is afforded except by the vault
beneath, and the dampness penetrates the
very bones of the prisoners No one can
look upon the prisoners who are brought
into court, without coming to the conclusion
that they have been confined in dark and
unwholesome place. We believe the law
considers all men innocent until found gull
ty, and the reason why persons are confined,
charged with crime, is, that they may APP
pear for trial at the proper time. Punish
meut ought not to be inflicted before mans
guilt has been determined. Wemake these
remarks because We believe that men incar-
cerated in our jail for six months are more
severely punished than they would have
been if they had spent year in the States
Prison, where even the yiIest criminals have
enough of Gods free air and employment
for their minds and bodies. Our county
jails throughout the State, should have
prison yards attached, where the prisoners
could safely be permitted to take the exer-
else necessary for the preservation of health;
and it would also be well if workshops
could be established, wherein the prisoners
might not only find employment, but man
ufacture articles, the proceeds Of which
would partially pay the current expenses of
the jails. ss6 Isl as svs1.ss
Tt may safely be said that the Jail of
this county is the most unhealthy and in
convenient of any in Indiana, and the
State, when it places man within its damp
walls, not only robs the prisoner of his
liberty, which ne has justly forfeited, but
impairs his health and hastens his death. =
The law can only take life by the way it
has devised-the hangman's knot. 1t has
no right to injnre the health of those
charged with crime, or to shorten their
lives, even an hour. In the name Of hui
manity, let us have prison, where even
the murderer and the highwayman may
look up to Heaven, and feel that His free
air is the common Blessing of the 'just and
unjust. =. 4.-s

Ancient Ruins of the United States.

Dim and mysterious is the carly history Of
man on this continent. II is cnveloped in thick
darkness, never, it may be presumed, to be PEN
ctratcd by human research. And yet the ruins
of ancient cities are frequently discovered, that
tell OF race that has long since passed away
probably extcrminatcd by the ancestors Of our
present Indians who are also fast departing from
the human family-fairly dying out before the
ever advancing influence Of the pale-faces. But
these monumental cities indicate great popula.
tons, and prove the existence Of mighty men Of
old. A new stimulus is likely to be given to
American archaeology, by discovery recently
made some ninety mile; northeast of Fort STAN
ton, long account of which has appeared in
the Fort Smith (Arkansas) Times.
The plain upon which lie the massive relics Of
gorgeous temples and magnificent halls slopes
gradually eastward toward the river Pecos, and
l. very fertile, crossed by gurelng stream of
the purcst water, that not only sustains rich
vegetation, but perhaps furnished with this ne
ressary element the thousands who once inhab-
tied this present wilderness. The city was pro-
badly built by warlikc race, as It is quadran-
kular, and arranged with skill to afford the high
est protection against an exterior foe, many Of
the buildings on the outer lines being pierced
with loopholes, as though calculated for the use
of weapons Several Of the buildings are Of
granite rock which could only have been wrought
To their present condition by a vast amount Of
labor There are the ruins Of three noble edifi.
ees, each presenting a front Of three hundred
feet, made Of ponderous blocks Of stone, and
the dilapidated walls are even now thirty five
feet high. There are no partitions in the area
of the middle (supposedD temple, so that the
room must have been vast; and there are also
rirvings in has relief and fresco work. Appear
ances Justify the conclusion that these silent ru-
ans could once boast Of halls as gorgeously dec
Grated by the artists hand as those Of Theees
and Palmyra. The buildings are all loopholcd
In each side, much resembling those found in
the old feuial castles of Europe, designed for
the use Of archers The blocks Of which these
eeiRccs are composed are cemented together by
a species Of mortar of bituminous character,
which has such tenacity that vast masses Of wall
have fallen down without the blocks being de-
tached by the shock.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Oxford Intelligencer.


II PROPOSED ID establish, at Oxford Mississippi,
weekly Journal under the foregoing title, and to rs
sue the first number about the LIST day Of June,
1850.
The IHrELLIoEscER will not be the organ Of any
man. Of any clique or combination Of individuals
but it will endeavor faithfully to represent the views
and sentiments of the community of Oxford and La
ayctte county, and to uphold and foster all the great
MISREPRESENTATION, agricultural, material, social
and moral-with which the highest welfare Of our PEG
pic is identified.
The fundamental doctrines IF the State Rights
school of Democracy will constitute the guides by
which the political Of the paper will be
trollcd; and while the ISTELLIGENcER will sustain
Southern institutions and the Of the South with
energy and zeal it will do calmly, and only by
son and argument-rcmembering that there Is zeal
which ''is not according TO knowledge" and whose
only weapons are empty defamation and appeals to
popular ignorance passion, and prejudice. 1t will
earnest ysupport the principles andorganzaon of the
Democratic party but, at the same time, it will be
courteous to those Of felow-cizcns who are po-
litically opposed to it will it descend in any
case to personal abuse and vilifcation.
The Editor first saw the light in Tennessee, but
was brought to Mississippi while he was yet an un-
conscious infant Here he WINS nuturcd and educa-
ted He is a graduate of the University of Mssis-
sipp He is bound to Mississippi by every tie of as
ISOLATION and affection and it will be his contant duty
to show that he is not unmndful of those obligations
which he owes TO her.
Nothing will appear in the columns of the ISTELLI-
GEScER which the Editor does not believe to be true
for 1t is his purpose to establish for the paper repu
tach, both at home and abroad, which shall cause its
every statement of fact 10 be implicitly relied Oh.
