ing on the tract Of land, recently purchas
ed by Mr.. A. J. Hartford, from Mr.. Neil
Brnett, found sta point where workmen
were engaged leveling the foriifcaiions,
cigs. box. which seemed 10 have been long
buried, which on being opened, was
found TO contain one hundred silver fifty
cent pieces. This money was no doubt
buried by some Yankee, during their oc-
cupalion Of this place. We are informed
by Mr.. Hartford. that in addition TO this,
other money has been found there and
he seems to be OF the impression, that
some statement made to him, by Yam
kee during the war, that two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars were buried in the
Qualifications, is about TO DO realized.-

4 very curious letter from S. F. Wal.
dro. of Chicago, appears in the Southern
papers on the contest between the North
ern and Southern branches Of the Meth
Odis, Church. He takes The ground that
all government is based on The religious
ideas Of those who carry it on, and that
the Northern Method;sis have acquired
by conquest the right 10 control the reIl.
gion OF The South. He holds that i, is
just as wrong to allow the Southern
Methodists 10 meet and worship al all. as
il would be to allow Lee and Johnston
TO call toge Their and drill their armies
again. The religion Of The North is
bound 10 rule tbis coniiaenl, and il pro.
poses TO make proper application Of
our Bible TO all the Southern STATES and
people" A subjugaied people. he says,
"have no more night to apply their own
peculiar moral ideas than to use their
physical implements of war"
