The quality Of our soil is unsur-

excellent timber, extensive quarries of
valuable stone, and our coal beds, in
point of extent and quality, are not
equalled in the State. That portion
of our county which lies between
White River and the Patoka, is known
to be one vast coal field; and a recent.

very curious hieroglyphics were found
traced in the white sand, and an or
namental tracery of peculiar design
covered the other three sides off the
chamber In the next apartment a
sort of stone sarcophagus was found,
upon the of which was laid an
immense rock, firmly cemented to the
burial case, and which required the
united exertions of four men to re-
move. oaThis being done, a human
skeleton was found underneath, the
boneso which crumbled TO powder
/ immediately upon exposure to the
air. Several copper and iron rings
were found In the sareophagus,S as
| also curious silver ornament, oc-
| tagonal in shape, and carved in unin
telligible characters, some of which

IA third chamber was much larger
in extent than the Others, and the CELL
ing was very much like am inverted
funneI in shape, directly under the
apex of which was large cube-shaped
stone, which was stained by marks of
fire and some other dark substance,
and "a deposit Of hardened ashes lay
around itupon the ground. Lit was
evidently used as sacriicial altar,
and this theory seems TO be confirmed
by the fact that an aperture large
enough to admit the body of man
opens from this apartment into
smaller one, the floor Of which is be-
low that of the otherrooms, and which
is. covered with limy powder, appa-
rently the ashes of bones; whether
human or otherwise cannot be aseer-
tained.G&
On continuing their expectations
the party found an iron plate door,
which easily gave way upon a little |
pressure, and passage way about |
three feet in hight and large enough !
for one person to pass in STOPPING /
posture, was discovered. Mr.. Mes
NTH and his brother-in- law followed |
this passage way, which led in some
what circuitous direction to the vicini-
ty of the river. This is proved by
the sound of water washing upon the
shore, which may be distinctly heard
at the end of this passagy way, the |
outer opening to which has apparently
been filed up from the inside with
broken rocks, and through the inter-
