The Chattanooga PostmastershIp.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Several gentle
men are here from Chattanooga to see
what they can do about the late appoint
ment and confirmation of Sam. Bard, of
that place, as Postmaster. 1t seems that
Bard received letters from several officials
in the place strongly urging him for some
public position, with full understanding
that he would not apply for any in Chat
tanooga, and declaration on his part that
he wanted to go out to the Territories. AS
soon as he reached Washington he used the
letters to obtain the appointment as Post
master, and then carried a pretended mes
sage from Senator Brownlow to his fellow
Senators that he was not able to get out,
but wanted the nomination confirmed at
once.
1t is said the Senator proposes to enter a
motion for the Senate to reconsider the
nomination. Wash. Cor. Chicago Inter-

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Early yesterday
morning found me all aboard a lively
charger, Just recovered the epizootic, for
the purpose of inspecting mine about 2
miles South of here upon the farm of q Mr..
Pearce, at present being worked by parties
from Jacksonville, Alabama, for investiga-
ton of the precious metal silver. The To-
cality presents a glittering appearance for
all thereaboutS is literally covered with
rock thoroughly stratified with a bright
metaiic substance of some nature, between
the hue of lead and silver The parties
having the mine in charge have descended
about twenty feet, through different grades
of the stuff aud claim that in creases in
the oxide of silver. They have specimens
on deposit in Philadelphia, New York,
Boston and Washington, calculating to
have it thoroughly analysed and assayed,
when if it proves valuable it will certainly
be very advantageous to these parts as the
parties will then dispose of it to be worked
as extensively as its merits justify. L will
leave q specimen with you in few days.
The young folks of this burg" anticipate

certs, Christmas trees, Good Templars,

Trade is pretty good, and notice a

goods. The writer knows of a bill OF

such almost under her shadow.

The Capitalists in the New Tribune Com

In the Tribune Company,as recognized,
Whitelaw Reid is understood to own fifty
shares, for which he paid Mr. Orton $500
600. The capitalist who stands behind Mr..
Reid in this transaction is Hon. Walker
Phelps, of Englewood, q clever and stirring
young man of much money who has just
been elected to Congress from that part of
New Jersey. Mr. orion thought original
ly to make the Tribune an Administration
paper, with Mr.. Colfax as chief editor, but
the Credit Mobilier revelations are believ-
ed to have:spoilod that plan. Mr.. Orion
then failing to see his way clear to success
in publishing the paper, decided to sell a
controlling share to Mr.. Reid, who offered
him the handsome bonus of fifty thousand
dollars. Mr. Sinclair is expected to retire
from the publication department.-N. 7.

Antiquity of Man-Remarkable Dis
c0Very.

1t has of late been the belief of large
class of men of science that the existence
OF the human race ON the earth dates
much further back than was generally
supposed, while the followers of Darwin
and Lubbock have claimed that the hu-
man race has been in constant state Of
progression from bar barism and british
ancestry. Accounts were given of hu.
mlD skelton uuearthed by the qnarrymen
in Neander Valley, near the Dussel, at
Elbenfeldt, in Rhenish Prussia. The
professors pronounced it to be of great an.
tiquity, and were of the opinion that the
Neander man, whose bones possessed in
general the same qualities which char
acterize the bones of the mammoth found
in neighboring districts, and incloscd in
the same diluvial loan, lived together
with the mammoth and other extinct
animals of the drift period.
The skull was the subject of measure.
ment and calculation of brain power
Its capacity was found to be about equal
to that of the average Polynesian and
Hottentot, and while the opinion of geolo-
gists differed in regard to minor points,
all admitted the great antiquity of the
skull and bones. A discovery has just
been reported in Kansas, which ifveriied,
is far more remarkable than the above de-
scribed. The Usage Mission (Kansas)
journal says that human skull was re.
Gently found near that place imbedded in
a solid rock, which was broken open by
blasting DIR. j. G. Weirley, of Usage
Mission, compared it with modern skull
which he had in his Office, found that it
resembled the latter in its general shape,
though it was an inch and quater larg.
in its greatest diameter, and much better
developed in some other particulars.
He says Of the relic at is that Of
the cranium of the human species, OF
large size, imbedded in conglomerate rock
Of the tertiary class, and found several
feet beneath the surface. Parts of the
frontal, parietal, and occipital bones were
carried away by explosion. The piece Of
rock holding the remains weighs some
forty or fifty pounds, with many impres.
sions OF marine shells, and through it runs
a vein of quartz, or within the cranium
crystalized organic matter and, by the
aid Of a microscope, presents beautiful
appearance" IF this be a fact, and it
seems to bear the impress Of truth in the
description, neither Lyell nor Hugh Mil
ler, nor any of the rest of the subterran
can explorers report anything SO strange.
The Neander man comes the nearest to
it, but the Neauderthal bones were found
in loan only two or three feet beneath
the surface This skull was discovered
in solid rock II the Kansas discovery
be real, it is worthy of thorough scien.

A Youth Tortured Most Inhumanely by
Two RutfianS.

A horrible outrage was perpetrated ia
Linn township, Warren county, Iowa, on
boy fourteen years of age, by two men
named Hart and McKissick. The boy,
who was living at McKissick's, was ac-
cused by them of robbing the two men
who slept in the room with him. The
boy denied his guilt and threats failed to
extort confession. The two brutes
whipped him numerically, again and
again, until Monday night, when the boy
was taken to a WE'LL some ten feet deep,
with about five feet of water in it, and
with rope round his neck he was lower
ed repeatedly, head foremost, into the
water until nearly drowned. The same
night he was taken up stairs, in McKis-
sick's house by McKissick and Hart, and
there laid on his face on the floor, his
feet bound with rope passed over the
rafters, so as to draw his feet some twenty
inches from the floor. His hands were
bound behind him and drawn up in the
same way to about the same elevation,
aud his head lashed to bed post by a
cord from his neck In this condition he
was left until ten o'clock Tuesday, when
some neighbors discovered and released
him from his painful position, more dead
than alive. The boy had neither food
nor water, save when ducked in the well,
from Sunday evening until Tuesday noon.
Mckissick and Hart, who are both men
of property, were arrested last week and
held to answer for the assault with intent
to infict great bodily injury, and were
also served with notice in civil suit for
$4,000 damages.
