AN ANCIENT PROPHECY.

In notice of the Rev. DR.. Moorc's SER
mon on the first Sabbath of the year. the
Richmond Inquirer remarks, that ain terms
OF beauty and puthos, such as abound in aud
enrich everything that comes from the mind
of Dr. Moore, he alluded to the year lust
closed, to the additional evidences furnished
US OF the changeable nature that is stamped
upon all things human and earthly; upon
wealth, and glory, and fame; and applying
his remarks to his own particular congrc-
CATION, he enumerated in the most kind and
pathetic manner, the members of his flock
that had passed away with the year. Dis
missing the past, he turned to the present
and the future, aud enlarged upon the duties
that are devolved upon us. He remarked
that the year, upon which we have just now
entered, would, if probable accounts be true,
form one of the great cycles in Gods dis
peDsat!on, and in the light CT that proba-
blllty, We should enter upon it with more
than usual solemnity. He stated that one
of the oldest and widest spread traditions
known in the records of the wurld-a tradi-
ton that was even anterior to the Bible itself,
that had come down to us through the sue
cessive ages and nations of the world, and
had accompanied the progress of civilization
from its beginning up to the present moment
was that the world would exist for six
thousand years-the number six correspond
ing to the six days of the week-and in the
beginning of the seventh thousand there
would be great, radical change that would
extend throughout the universe, embracing
all things within its limits.
He'said that the best and most widely ac-
cepted chronologists had estimated that the
seventh thousandth year commenced in or
about 1866-'67
In addition to this tradition he also assert
ed that prophetic era was referred to in
several places in Daniel and John, and that
long list ofjudcous expositors had agreed
that it would occur in or about 1S66-'67.
He did not vouch for the accuracy of these
chronological calculations, but said that the
fact that the world was not looking for such
events was no proof that they were not about
to transpire

A STRANGE DISCOVERY.

A correspondent of the Waynesburg Re
publican gives the following account of a
strange discovery which was made near
Waynesburg a short time since, and vouches
for the truth OF the same:
"Some time since, as Surveyor J. L Nc
COnnell was passing down Smith creek,
about one mile from town, his attention was
arrested by some characters on stone at tho
road side. Upon a close examination he
found that the inscription on the stone was
us follows: Due east 246.' Studying awhile
over the matter, he came to the conclusion
that due east certain distance to be repre-
sented by the figures there was some
thing curious. So, fixing his compass on
the spot, he measured the exact distance of
2 rods, 4 feet and 6 inches. Striking his
compass staff in the ground, he ascertaiued
that underneath there was a metallic sub.
stance of some kind. Removing the earth
for few feet around, what was his surprise
at finding an iron box; and what was more
surprising, he found on opening it, that it
was flied with silver coin of all denomina-
tlons, from five cent piece to one dollar.
Proceeding back to the stone which had first
arrested his attention, on turning it over he
found inscribed on the other side as slows.
Due west g. Surprising something
equally curious at distance represented by
the figures 4 6 in due west direction, he
proceeded to measure the distance, two rods,
four feet six inches due west. Upon sinking
the compass staff at that point he ascertaincd
that unNsrncath was some metallic substance.
Removing some earth from about the spot,
imagine his surprise at finding an iron box
exactly like the other; upon opening which
he found to contain gold coin of all denomi-
nations, from dollar to an eagle. Hastily
selecting some specimens of the contents of
both brxes, he filed the excavation and re-
turned to town. Specimens of the contents
of both boxes can now be seen by any
doubling the truthfulness of this discovery
by calling on r, w. Downey,s at Waynes-
burg, Pa, in whose possession the specimens

THE TEST OATu-Mr Lincoln's AttorS
ney General, Hon. Edward Bates, Of Mis-
souri,, publishes letter in the Missouri Re.
publican, in which he gives his opinion Of
the odious Congressional test-oath. He says:
Test>Oaths, odious, oppressive, and cowards
ly always, are always the resort of desperate
parties who Gas violent as timidity can make
thcm) seize upon this method to weaken their
adversaries, whom they are afraid to meet in
fair and open controversy. 1t was Of frequent
occurrence during the French revolution,
and one remarkable instance has been pre-
served for our instruction by the great his
torian of that epoch. The two legislative
councils-The Ancients and the Five Hum
dred-imputing to their adversarics the
