DISCOVERY OF AMERICA-COLUM
BUS ANTICIPATED.

Interesting relics of the early discovery of
America occasionally turn up. At late
msetiDg of the Mexican Biographies S0cie-
ty, Mr. Bliss stated that soma brass tablets
had been lately discovered in the northern
part of Brazil, and not far from the coast,
which careful examination had shown were
covered with Phcenician inscriptions, telling
of the discovery OF America i've centuries
before Christ. The tablets had been &C
quired by the Museum Of Rio Janeiro, with
whose director be was personally
acquainted, and the connection Of
this gentleman with the discovery Of the
tablets was IN lis II q guarantee Of
the correctness Of the report. Thu
Inscriptions, so far as yet deciphered, relate
that, from port on the Bed sea, Sidonian
fleet sailed, and, following she east coast Of
Africa, doubled the Cape; tnencs following
the African west coast, urobably with the
southeast trade winds of the southern lati-
tudes, until the northeast trades, prevent
ing further progress northward, forced the
pr0ws Of the vessels across the broad Allan
tic. At any rate, according 70 Mr.. Bliss,
the tablets record the fact Of the Phenician
feet having reached the Americas five cen
turies before Christ, at some point now
known as northern Brazil; that the tablets
give the number Of vessels, the number Of
the cree s, the name of Sdon as iheir home,
and, indeed, various very interesting par
ticulsrs. Mr.. Bliss has promised, when he
acquires further particulars to hand Them TO
the society. 6se SD

CHOLERA NOTES.

From the Knoxville Press and Herald, Aug. &c.
As usual on Mondays, there were num-
Der of baseless reports in circulation con-
corning cases of cholera and deaths occur
ring from the disease. II was currently re-
ported during the day that an estimsble
young lady had fallen 9 victim, and also
that the well-known Prof J. T. Lowery
was dead. Both reports, and everything Of
the kind, were false, ana the circsla.ors of
such news ought to be held under the flood
gate of one of our mills for an hour to cool
off their heated imaginations. A man
named Jas. c. Dallas, living on the south
side of the river, died yesterday evening.
For the benefit of our, out-of-town readers,
we may state that thisis the only death we
have heard of. .-ss

TENNESSEE RIvER IMPROVEMENT

A correspondent of the Kingston VALLEY
Ne1pS writes to that paper, about the i'm
p-oYements now being rade in the Tennes-
see river, between there and Chattanooga,
as follows:
81 will briefly tell you of the river i'm
provements at Half-moon Island, which is
only few hundred yards from my present
situation. The work as this point on the
river, under the direct management of MI.
Hamilton, is being successfully prosecuted
The main dam that conveys the water into
the steamboat chute is now nearly COM
pleted, rendering this part Of the river en-
tirely navigable for steamers at all seasons
of the year. The work is done in splendid
style. Large stones are used in forming
the base and surface of the dam. Small
stones, gravels aud dirt are used in filling,
making the structure almost water proof.
The surface on the upper side where most
exposed is gradual incline to the bottom
of the river. The entire work presents a
very durable appearance. La proof of the
great amount of good being accomplished
on the river from Chattanooga to Kingston
by the improvemr nts now going on, | call
attention to the fact that the steamer j. T.
Wilder left lockwood landing Monday
morning with thirty tons Of pig iron besides
other miscellaneous freight. Can any one
inform Us when similar cargo has passed
down the Tennessee river at this season of
the year? / am credibly informed that the
work st other important points On the river
is beins pushed forward with the same sue

gress OF international Workingmen's Asso-
citation to be held in Geneva September I'd
because ofthe expense, but have forwarded
memorandum with regard to the position
of the sections in this country as to the
discussions which have taken place in the
order.
A Lesson I'm State POlity.
Gov. Dix has addressed letter to Mayor
Havemeyer In answer to a request of the
latter for rifles for the police and says:
Even if the means of granting the request
were at his disposal he should decline, con-
sidering it very questionable whether public
order or security would be promoted BIZ the
organization of armed military bodies under
the direction and control of municipal cor
poratioDs independent of the military aul-
thority of the State, and believing that the
existing mode of putting down resistance
to the laws, calling upon the militia on ex-
traordinary occasion is in all respects the
wisest and safest.

it was proper to grant the petition.

More ."MisapprOprIatiOn' OF Funds.
1t is stated that the discovery is made in
Brooklyn, to night, that large amount of
the city's securities can't be found. 1t is
understood the late Assistant Treasurer
speculated with the funds, and the securi-
ties were absorbed gradually. Rodmsn was
Secretary of the Brooklyn Trust Co., in
which half million of the CT US funds were
deoosited, and it is reported he makes
counter charges against and duplicates other
officials with guilty knowledge of the affair,
but nothing definite is yet made puolic in
volyiDg any other officials, either of the city
or Trust Co. Mr.. Sprsgue, City Treasurer,
is responsible, and being very wealthy, the
city will not suffer any loss.
