Remarkable Discoveries,

From the Nashville (Tenn.) Press and Times.
1t may not be generally known that the
ground on which the city Of Nashville now
stands was once the site Of an ancient
and populous town, yet such is supposed
to be the fact. Some of the most inte-
resting antiquities Of our State are found
along the lower course Of Stone river but
few miles from Nashville. A wide area
of country there is covered with thousands
of graves of now forgotten people.
But few days ago several gentlemen
made some researches in this region, and
found their labors richly rewarded by some
striking discoveries. At place known
as Schell's Spring they found mound of
considerable height and perhaps forty feet
in diameter, which proved upon examina-
tion to be nothing less than vast mauso-
leum of the dead. The graves were found
to be made Of fiat rocks, symmetrically
joined together, and three tiers deep from
the base Of the mound to its apex. Bones
were found in remarkable state of pre-
servation, together with pottery and shells.
Very large ornaments have been dug out
in this locality, made from shells found
only in the Gulf of Mexico.
A gentleman Of acknowledged skill and
authority in antiquarian matters, who con-
Quoted the researches made few days
ago, estimated that the remains which
they unearthed could not have less age
than six or seven hundred years. What
is remarkable, no warlike implements are
found in this locality from which it is
inferred that they were a peaceable race,
and were probably exterminated or driven
away by the Indians. In one of the graves
was found a beautiful little vase, which
had been placed in the hand of the inmate
of the tomb at the time Of the burial.
Upon this little bit of earthenware was
the model Of diminutive animal. The
care which these people took of their dead
shows high degree of humanity. We
learn that other Investigations in this Sec
tion are to be made ere long. The field is
certainly rich one for the antiquarian.

Merrtmac and Monitor.
VA, September ID. 1867.


RICHMOND, Va, September IA, 1867.
To the Editor of the World:
Sir,-I flud in yesterdays World, Just
received, report of a speech of Mr..
Greeley, at the opening of the American
Institute Fair, in which occurs the follow
ing sentence:
after referring to the triumph of the
Monitor over the Merrimac in Hampton
Roads, Mr.. Greeley continued, &C., &c."
NOW, there is no fact in the late war bet
ascertained than thatall the triumph"
ever won by an iron-clad in Hampton
Roads was by the Merrimac I was one of
q concourSe Of thousands of people who
saw the Merrimac challenge the whole
Federal feet, through long summer day,
to come out from the guns of Fortress
Monroe and the Rip Raps and fight her !;
and among those who declined the chal-
lenge was the Monitor. But + choose to
set this fiction at rest on the evidence of a
northern man, and one whose standing as
witness in a case of this sort is unim-
peachable. I refer to Norman Wizard, the
celebrated ordnance founder and inventor.
In memorial addressed by him to Con-
gress, and to be seen in the report on the
Conduct Of the War, supplement, part 2,
| lind the following sentence:
'It should be recollected that the Army
OF the Potomac was once prevented from
passing up James river by the presence
of the terrible Merrimac, which iron-clad
was encountered by another iron clad, the
little Monitor, armed with Dahlgren eleven
inch she'll guns, the projectiles from which
crumbled against her sides, and she re-
tarned uninjwed to her picket duty, and long
continued to hold possession of Norfolk har-
Dor and the mouth Of the James riuer, or
so long as until our army had passed too
ia: to return toward disastrous campaign
to get to her rear at Harrison's landing"
The simple truth is that all that was
ever done in the Roads by any iron-clad
was done by the Merrimac. The attack
on and destruction of the Congress and
Cumberland would as certainly have been
followed by the destruction of the Mime
sofa had there been sufficient draft of
water for the Merrimac to approach her;
and it was leak occasioned by injury to
her beak received in her attack on the
Congress, and no battering of the Monitor,
whose shells crumbled against her sides,"
that sent the Merrimac back to her dock.
The only serious damage inflicted on
either iron-clad was suffered by the turret
Of the Monitor. And no sooner had the
Merrimac been repaired than she sailed
down the harbor and vainly strove to get
the entire fleet, Monitor included, to leave
their safe moorings under the hundreds of
guns ashore! Thenceforward the Merri-
mac lOrded it on the waters Of the great
roadstead until that melancholy morning
in May when she sank on the field of her
fame by the hands Of her friends-nlorte
Se.r le champ de 6attaiNe. We have little
left. If not glory-nothing. Surely the
United States can afford to leave us that
untaxable possession. X.

The EXHIBITION NEXT MoNTH.-A lady
who has been spending the summer in
Nottoway county, and reached Richmond
Saturday, says the good people of Motto
way arc evincing lively interest in the
Horticultural and Pathological Exhibition
to be held in this city next month. Speci-
mems of needlework, bread, cake, pickles,
preserves, honey, fruits, and vegetables
will be forwarded for exhibition, and
many of the farmers, with their wives and
daughters, expect to be present. We like
to receive such information from the pros
porous and fourishing southside. Her
people have ever been alive to the inte-
rests and well-being Of Old Virginia; and
if her name has been changed to "District
No. l." they love her none the less for
that. We call upon all the counties in
Virginia to emulate the example of Not
toway. If they will, the exhibition will
be one every way worthy of Old Virginia

CoURT-MARTIAL.-Ac court-martial was
convened in the United States Circuit
Court room Saturday. The following Off
GERS constitute the court: President
Brevet Major w. Fl. Rosselle, Brevet Ma
jor R. Thompson, Brevet Major Paul
Quirk, Captain William B. Lowe, Captain
G. II. McNally, Captain W. F. Goodwin,
Brevet Captain Alfred Townsend, First
Lieutenant Thomas S. Doubler, and Cap
tain II. B. Hendershoot judge-advocate.
A number of private soldiers were ex-
amined; but owing to the fact that every
thing is done in secret session, we are un-.
able to give the names, offences, or SEN
tences of those arraigned.
The court will be in session for several
days.
Since writing the above, we have learned
that among others, private Adam Kissin-
ger, company II, Fifteenth infantry, was
tried FOR desertion, and private Charles
Brown, company F, Fifth regiment cavalry,
for conduct prejudicial to military disci-
pline. Their sentences will not be made
public until the court adjourns.

THEFT OF A CoAT.-The private apart
ments of Mr.. L. S. Squire, who resides at
the corner of Franklin and Foushee streets,
were entered on Saturday morning last
and very valuable black broadcloth
coat, valued at forty dollars, carried off.
1t is the opinion of Mr. S. that thestheft
was committed while the family were at
breakfast; and one Of the female servants
employed on the premises is suspected of
the robbery. The coat contained valuable
papers Of no use to any one but the owner,
and Mr.. S. would be under obligations for
their restoration.
Circumstances attending several robbie
ries of dwellings which have recently oc-
CURED, induce the belief that females are
stealing gentlemera's apparel to avoid sus-
picion, and if persons will bear this fact in
mind it may possibly prevent the fire.

A BURGLAR ON TRIAL BEFORE THE
MAYOR BOLTS OUT OF THE COURT ROOM =
AFTER AN EXCITING CHASE HE IS CAUGHT
AND SENT TO JAIL.-A burly- looking ne
gro, passing under the name of William
Brown, was brought before the Mayor Sa-
turday upon the charge Of burglariously
entering the store of Mr.. John Carle,
located at the corner of Main and Twenty
second streets.
Mr.. Carle did not appear, and the pri-
soner was put back in the coop.
Another case was called, and while the
examination was going on, William slipped
off his shoes, jumped over the railing, and
was rapidly moving out of the courtroom
when he was observed by the police, and
the cry of "catch him 70 stop him |" was
raised. A pursuit was Immediately COM
menced. The negroes attending the court
followed the fleeing prisoner, and so much
hindered the police that he got down the
steps and was some fifty yards on his way
down Seventeenth street before officer
jenkins and policeman Moore reached the
street. Near Seventeenth and Cary
streets German citizen attempted to
stop the prisoner, but was knocked down
by him. William ran on, turned up Cary
street, and continued his fight to the
Libby. There two soldiers stopped and
held him until Moore and jenkins, who
were only short distance behind, came
up. By them he was brought back to the
Mayor and put upon trial for the bur-
glary.
Mr.. Carle came in court while the chase
was going on. He was put upon the wit
ness stand, and testified that about a
quarter-past II o'clock Friday night he
was awakened by noise in his store. He
went down and found the prisoner sitting
behind the counter. Thought he had got
ten into the store by crawling through the
transom light over the front door. He did
not steal anything, because he did not
have time, but was then making prepara-
tious to take articles. Other witnesses
were examined, whose testimony sub
stantiated that of Mr.. Carle's.
The prisoner said the name given him by
his mother was Thomas Robinson, and the
name given by himself was William
Brown. He then said his name was
Thomas Hipkins, and admitted that he
had been in the chain-gang. He was sent
on to the Hastings Court to answer an in
dictment for felony. He requested bail,
which was refused and on his stating that
he intended to bolt again, the Mayor or
dered handouts to be put and kept on him
until he was secure in Jail.
This negro has served term in the pc
nitentiary for horse-steal:ng, and one or
two terms in the city jail tor minor Of
fences.

The HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION.-In
answer to the many inquiries made of us
as to the articles which will be received
upon exhibition, we enumerate them un-
der their general heads.
Those which fall within the proper ju-
risdiction Of the Society, and for which
premiums are offered, are Horticultural
implements baskets Of different kinds,
including those for marketing berries !;
fruits of every kind, sort, and variety
fresh and dried; vegetables Of every spe-
cies; flowers of every kind, in pots, bou-
quets, and figures; butter; cheese ho-
ney; beehives; hams; rounds Of beef ;
tongues; bread; cake; pickles; pre-
serves; catsups; sauces; soaps; quilts !;
carpets; counterpanes; rugs curtains j;
hose; seamstress work; worsted, crochet,
wax, and shell work; knitting; netting !;
and domestic wines.
The programme of the Society and the
list of premiums will be forwarded to any
one who will address note requesting it
to the recording secretary Of the Society,
post-office box 706.
Now, we suggest to every farmer, anna
teur cultivator, and lady in the State, to
list and prepare them for the exhibition.
The contribution of each one may be
small, but the aggregate will be very great,
very attractive and encouraging to our
people in these days of depression, by
showing them how very much more there
is still left of latent skill and energy in
the old State than they think for--and
how strong foundation they still have
left upon which to build themselves up
into their old greatness and prosperity.
The Artists Society and the Mechan-
ics' Institute are not yet strong enough
for separate exhibitions. But all they
need is beginning, to show them how
much stronger they are than they think,
and to pave the way to separate exhibit
tions of their own. This base, upon which
they may begin to build, is kindly offered
them by this Society, and, from what we
know, will be freely taken advantage Of.
With this view the Society will receive
and place upon exhibition anything hand
some or useful which is in moderate COM
pass and portion Of one of the splen-
did rooms placed at the Society's disposal
by the kindness of Mr.. Stearns will be
made an art gallery.
We therefore suggest that our artists,
without exception, exhibit their best
work; that every gentleman or lady who
has q fine picture, place it in the art gal
lery; that each merchant dealing in hand
some wares prepare and exhibit them in a
suitable case; and that every manufacturer
and mechanic producing small fine goods
exhibit the best that he can do in his own
particular line. If this is done as gene
rally as we hope and believe it will be,
there are few of our own people who will
not be surprised at the amount and rich
ness of the aggregate.
But we must again remind our friends
that the Executive Committee should re-
ceive that early notice of intended con-
tributions which is asked in our adver-
tising columns.

EXCITEMENT ON CLAY STREET.-Citi-
zens residing in the vicinity of First and
Clay streets were aroused about half-past
II O'Clock on Friday night by several dis
charges of pistol following in rapid sue
cession. The party who did the firing re-
sides on Clay street, and furnishes an ex-
planation By stating that man was seen
suspiciously lurking about the premises.
When hailed he made no reply, but
started off In run. The shots from the
pistol accelerated his speed, but did him
no bodily injury SO far as has been ascer-
tanned. No rogue will long stand the
click Of the trigger, much less the explo-
sion OF the barrel, and it would be well for
every housekeeper to keep a pistol at
hand.

TAKEN TO THE FEDERAL HOSPITAL
Charles Ford, lunatic whose case was
mentioned in Fridays Dispatch, was on
Saturday taken from Henrico Jail, and,
under the escort of. Federal guard, con-
veyed to Federal hospital for the insane
near Howard's Grove. The wife of the
unfortunate man, who from the first mo-
ment that he gave signs of insanity has
clung to him with the tenderest devotion,
has been profered apartments at the hos
pital for herself and four children by Cap
tain Cook, of the Freedmen's Bureau. II
is understood that she will avail herself
of this generous offer in order that she
may minister to the wants of her unfortu-
nate husband.
