What Buried Herculaneum !

What was the fate of Herculapeum
during the eruption OF A. d. 70? Wbat
special phenomena were displayed on
that side of Vesuvius9 What canso =

recognize their dwellings, could encamn

tige of it. The ready answer 70
all these questions USUALLY is.
"Lava worked all the ruin. Hsrcu.
laneum was swallowed up under so feet
of lava. Ii works of art, bronzes and
pictures have been miraculouslv nrp-

shield of lava, yielding only to cut.
ting tool, that protected them from the
ravages of time" The explanation is
tempting. Fancy pictures of waves Of
fire rolling upon the city, rising like
the tidal swell, surging in through
doors and windows, sweeping around
and moulding everything, then slowly
cooling and preserving for poster
ity treasures that labor must
unveil, repaid by their recoy-
cry in unframed beauty. This
is really the opinion that all Europe
holds at Naples almost all visitors of
Herculanemm declare that they have
touched the lava with their wnhands:
and in books written on the Vesuvian
cities, more than one traveller affirms as
positively that the difficulty of cutting
the lava presents the chief obstacle to
the disinterment of Herculaneum. How
can one venture to meet such convic-
tions by asserting that water, not fire,
overwhelmed Herculaneum; that it
was not a torrent of glowing lava, but
food of mud and wet ashes that
filled the city 2 How uproot a pre-.

La Somma; Dyer, Overlook, Ernst,
Breton, and others, have affirmed in
various languages, to no purpose, that
nothing but ashes wet to paste and

Herculaneum; no one needed them,
and the blame continues to be thrown
on the lava, which makes excavation
so costly and laborious. Buele IN

A REPUBLIC PROCLAIMED.
The Placing of The Loan.

Since the award of $500. 600, 900 OF
five per cents to the new syndicate, an
offer has been made to the Treasury
Department, by a, combination of Eng
lish and German bankers, to take
bonds on different, and they claimed,
more advantageous terms to the Gov
eminent. General Butler urged the
claims of the new association, styling
itself consortium, upon Secretary
Boutwell, and the Treasury authorities;
but, after consideration and discussion
ut the Cabinet meeting, it was
decided to adhere to the plan
already adopted and place the loan
with Cooke, Morton and their asso-
ciates. One feature Of the latter propo-
sition was the offer to put up 100000
600 of coin as q deposit on the first
subscription instead of the much
smaller amount proposed by the syndi-
cate. Several Democratic fnanciers OF
the House, to whom knowledge of the
offer had come, were meditating to-
day resolution Of inquiry of Mr..
Boutwell, for the details of the propo-
sition and his reason for declining it,
but nothing of the kind made its APP
pearhnce.
