On the concave their outer edge was black while upon the white surface which 1t enclosed were cut numerous mysterious figures, .stained red and bleak Their form greatly resembled hierogyphics. Through the center of each of these ornaments wag a triangular hole Northwest of Knoxville is gap, commonly known as indian Grave Gap A few months ago an Indian idol was found buried some distance beneath the earth, and, on fur rher investigation, many remains of the old mound -builders" were discovered. h this region many specimens ofp-trifaction arc to be found, and it furnishes rich giA both to the antiquarian and the geOlogist.
 Near Singking Creek, aoout four miles from Knoxville, there is a very high moand, with a thick wall extending nearly arouGI 1t. and then striking out in au easterly, direction. It is over three feet high, and if She earth was aug away from it it would reach much higher. The wall is now covered with moss, and in some places trees are growing from it.
 In Anderson county many remains like this are found A friend of mine, and one who is engaged ia the pleasing occupation of ex- eayating tSe mounds of Tennessee, has pene . trated 10 the hearths of forests, and there found even more surprising relics of the mound builders than have been found here. He in three weeks collected very large number Ot valuable relics; but Ot them am not at liberty to speak any further, aS they were shown in strict confidence, and will appear some day in his report to H--Co!lege, by which he is employed The work of research which the above named college is ctrrying on is very laud&bls one.

 Ifthese exploration were encouraged more than they are now, it would no doubt, syea tually open to the anxious anliquary 8 rich field for his consideration, and to the historian a fair aud varied plain from which he could glsan many flowers to beautify his pages.
 Upon the tops of the lofty mountains, and upon the extensive plains of the far West are to be found the remains ofthis mysterious race It is not to be supposed that some day there may not be found such relics as may aid us in tracing back the origin of this people?
 To Tennessee, where these mounds a. bound, the attention of ;he antiquary should be directed, for its mountains and its fertile tracts present no mean offering to him. From hem he can glean many valuable relics with which to enrich his private cabinet, or the cabinet of his nation.

The Panama NaiI furnishes some additional details with reference to the reporte1 discovery of an easy route for the proposed ship canal across the Isthmus of Darsn. The line which 1t Is proposed to follow is described as starting from Puerto Escopdido, on the Atlantic up the valleys of two small rivers, through low pass which is claimed to have been dicovered in the range of hills; and thence on the Paci- fc slope, following the valley of the Puerto to a junction with the river Tuyra, about league above Santa Maria la Real and some distance below the highest point of the tide. It is said that from this pom; the Tuyra is already nav;s gable for vessels of the largest tonnage.
