huge hecatomb, daily increasing in size, a;
the dusky hunters arrive with wagons
carts, baskets, bags, etc, all loaded down
with this new commodity. We have often
passed this unsightly and not altogether
savory spot, with nothing more than a
casual glance, until yesterday, when an
unaccounable inclination seized us to view
it more closely. With kind of mournful
interest we drew near, and gazed upon the
heaps about us, until our eyes were attract
ed by peculiarly shaped bone protruding
from the one nearest.
Drawing it forth, we held in our hand
the rib of a mani Upon a further search
We found broken thigh bone, and what
from our limited knowledge of the subject
We judged to be various parts of the hu-
man frame. Heart-sick with painful
emotions, We turned away, but unpleasant
thoughts would intrude themselves How
many such bones were hidden in that vast
deposit? How many had already been
shipped away? Perhaps spirit of gain
had prompted the violation of the sepuI-
ehers of our OWE lost loved ones Perhaps
the remains of our brave defenders, sleep
ing so lightly over the heights around us,
were being exhumed, and sold at ten cents
bushel to enrich the soil they died in
defending! II was all grief and humilia-
ton, and with our mouth in the dust, we
hurried from the spot.

The New York Post of the afternoon of
the lst inst, says:
The Treasury is selling gold to-day, and
buying all the seven thiriies that are Of
fered at 1863. Mr.. Van Dyck thinks that
his purchases of seven-thirties to-day and
Yesterday will amount to two millions of
dollars.
The stock market is lower. Money closes
active. The number of borrowers to-day
has been less than on previous days of this
week and the amounts smaller, as the
heavy houses have provided themselves be-
fOrehand with time loans. Hence the few
needy borrowers whose wants were urgent,
have had to submit to any unfavOTable
terms which might be prescribed by the
lenders.
The April dividends of the Boston banks
amount to $2,144,O0O against $2,149, 800
last October, and S2,0l7,0O a year ago.
The larger number are and per cent,
as usual, and the extremes are 81 and 7,
the latter per cent. being declared by the
Boylston and Hide and Leather banks
Only the Everett passes. All the dividends,
miscellaneous and bank, to be paid in Bos-
ton in April, amount to over $3,5OO,0OO
The interest on Massachusetts, and Boston
bonds will be paid in specie, and these
gold payments will amount TO $273,038
The State redeems in geld $4,000 in six

extra quarterly dividend of 10 per cent. is
paid by the Lancaster Mills, the usual pc

expectedly to the shareholders, passes its
quarterly dividend.

AHORRIBLE DISCOVERY.
The Worn Out Lands of the SOuti
FerfIIfzed with Human Bones.

The Worn Out Lands of the south
FertiIized with Human Bones.
Among the wild and barbarous nations
of earth there has ever existed that most
beautiful of all sentiments-the regard of
the living for the remains of the dead.
This affection has furnished the antiquarian
and historian with key TO the mysteries
of lost races and lost centuries. Mural
cities, pyramids, pillars and mounds have
been made TO speak, while relics, the result
of other sentiments, have remained dumb.
Like the "troth of gold" this beautiful
faith has ever been kept, and with old
mother earth to-day, her living cities are
only rivaled by those of her dead. All
things savoring Of the dissertation of the
sepulcher have ever excited in the mind
of the wise and good, unmitigated horror.
Even the dead appendages of the living
body have been regarded as sacred, and we
remember being greatly shocked by the
written account of the buying and selling
of human teeth, as practiced a century ago
felt relieved when we came upon the advent
of ivory and porcelain. The traffic, too in
human hair, as revealed in the expose at
tending the late war upon the chignon, has
undoubtedly thrilled the susceptible nerves
of many of our fair readers, and quiet,
staid citizens. How often has our scalp
twitched at the recital of dark tales of wild
students, wherein beautiful (?) subjects were
resurrecied and spirited away, food for the
insatiate scalpel.
Possessed of all this praiseworthy sensi-
| biity, what would be the indignation of
this refined community, if boldly charged
| with driving a lively trade in the bones of
| their deceased relatives and friends Such,
to certain extent, however, is the case.
Months ago a respectable firm some
where below us, engaged 10 the laudable
enterprise of collecting the anatomical re-
mains of horses, mules, cattle, etc, which
once strewed the country like a fall Of
snow-part Of the debris Of the late great
| armies-and reducing the same to an ar
ticle of commerce, to be used as fertilizer
on the poorer lands of the South. Among
the numerous depots established for the
collection of these bones, preparatory to
their being shipped TO the mandatory,
was Nashville. About ten cents per bushel
was the price offered, and the idle hordes
of blacks hanging about the city, awaiting
just such jobs, were soon scattered over
the neighboring hills and open grounds,
gathering, grubbing and roofing, like
swarns of ants. Carload after carload
was gathered and shipped southwark, until
the supply in this vicinity gradually de-
| creased whpn mixing roal-0athering
and iron-hlching resumed their wonied
sway. Some weeks since, however, other
accessible regions being alike exhausted,
Nashville was again made a receiving
point, and once more the hungry bone
hunters were put upon the trail. In The
vicinity of the Chattanooga depot, and but
few steps from Church street. is the prin-
cipal delivering yard, where may be seen a

A WOMAN TERRIBLY SCALDED.-Mrs.
Ringsfelt, a lady living on Madison street,
in the 9th ward, was terribly scalded yes
terday evening about o'clock, by the up
setting of boiler Of hot water, which was
overthrown by the giving away of a crazy
old stove. The scalding water was dashed
all over her, burning of the skin from her
breast and arms, and nearly placing her
beyond the reach of medical aid. Though
her sufferings are said to be very great, her
condition is not considered dangerous.

A "SCENE" on CHERRY STREET.-A
white woman yesterday slipped into lit
tie fruit store on Cherry street, kept by a
negro, who, in the conversation that en-
sued. said something amiss TO his customer.
Bouncing out upon the street, she seized a
large cocoanut from stand outside, and
iercely hurled it at his head. The missile
hit the mark squarely, and of course broke
and fell upon the floor, when little boy,
who was with her, coolly picked up the
fragments, and the two went their way.
The negro was not much hurt.

There is on Harpeth Shoals about five
feet and three inches. The river is slowly
rising, though from unaccountable reasons,
as we have no reports of rain above, and
we certainly have had none here in the
last few days.
The st. Louis Democrat of the 81 says
The decline here is steady. The river

rather low stage. The Lower Missouri "a
rising, but the Glasgow, bound down, found
only four feet at the Usage and Gasconade,
while she is drawing i've feet, and coDse-
dueRtly was seriously troubled and detained
at these points.
The Louisville Democrat of Yesterday
says:
The river since our last has been falling
quite fast, and last evening the decline was
at the rate of two inches per hour. In the
canal at dusk last evening there was scant
sixteen feet water, and thirteen feet steam
boat water on the falls. The decline since
our lasi, Iwenty-four hours, had been three
feet nine inches at the head Of the falls, or
about seven feet at Portland. The present
prospects are that the decline to-day will
be much more rapid than it was yesterday,
yet the falls will be navigable for day OF
two to come.
The weather here has been clear and
pleasant, though rather windy.
