LkFITTE'S TREASURE.
.Curru.th s75.s eco in noubIoons Found

A (IleSf Win D so,SvV iI iFohoiooHSh "'''--
There hsye always for many years
ms, been vague rumors floating about,
that along the Louisiana and MIssls-
sipm coast the men OF Latitte had bur
led treasure. Every now and then we
hear Of expeditions starting out on
search for the hidden booty; bnt what
NAV be their success is never known
Il will be remembered, doubtless,
that some wears ago certain family
here received from the bps OF one OF
Iafitte's men the description Of spot
where q chest Of doubloons was to be
found. The two sons started but
meyer returned. A third of the family
started but was drowned in storm
This fatality has in measure dam
pened the ardor Of many, and we now
hear of fewer such trips.
The quiet of the coast has, however
inst been seriously disturbed, and as
we learn from Mr.. HoIIy,of the United
States Circuit Court, just returned
from Bayou La Battre, thirty miles
this side of Mobile, on the New Or-
leans railroad, there is a money fever
raging.
1t appears that FIVE days ago, at
Devils Hole, A curious craft Of schooner
Iio put in. She was very small, but
had the appearance of having come
some distance, her build being unlike
any thing seen hereabouts for years.
Her crew consisted of two men and a
dog. The men conyersed well IN
English, and from their appearance
were evidently connected with the sea.
Coming TO anchor al sundown, just
outside, man came ashore, and row.
ING up to a fisherman at the mouth OF
the bayou, asked him if he would
pilot them up to the Devils Hole.
They gave him at once forty dollars
in gold, on this agreement, and accord,
ingly the other man on board the
schooner was signaled. lie rowed IN
with spades, lanterns, etc, in the boat
and all got in. Piloted by the fisher,
man they went up the bayou four
miles and commenced work.
They selected a spot from a dia-
gram they consulted, and after dig.
ging until l2:l5 that night, the spade
touched a metal box. They became
very excited, dug the faster, and at
last lifted out Of the hole, some seven
feet in depth, q strong iron chest, cor.
roded and rusty. Breaking it opeG
with an iron bar, they were rewarded
by sight of S75, 900 in gold coin.
The fisherman was excited and hardly
knew what 10 do.
He heard them count the money
and imagined they were some band
Of robbers. lie assisted them with
the chest down to the boat. They
TOwed on TO the schooner. When the
fisherman looked out over the water
next morning, no sail was in sight.
Who were these mysterious visit
ors? is the question now agitating the
deuizens of Bayou L. Battre.-Netc
