THE JEFFERSON DAVIS LEG.

SuEfS.''

n. O. Democrat, March Sth
Exposition Hall was crowded last night
to hear the Hon. Jefferson Davis lecture
on the "Mexican War and its Results "
The distinguished orator was introduced
to the audience by Capt. Tenbrick, who,
with delegation of veterans, took their
seat on platform, which was ornament
ed with flags, bearing the names of the
various battles Of the Mexican war:
Mexico, Buena Vista, Monterey, San
Pascual, Tabasco, Jalappa, Saltillo,
Vera Cruz, Palo Alto, Chepultepec,
Cerro Gordo, and Resacca De La Palma.
After very short history of the war,
its initial battles on the Rio Grande, the
capture of Monterey by General Taylor
with handful of heroic men, the march
to Vera Cruz, ordered by politicians at
Washington, the hard fought battle of
Buena Vista and the capture of Mexico,
where we signed a treaty of peace with
our vanquished foe, without taking from
him foot of land by conquest, but pay
ing him in gold for the ceded territory
Mr. Davis proceeded to the main object
of his lecture, 'The Results of the
var, ana In glowing language showed
California, an unknown land, under the
Mexicans, now become mighty empire
under the vivifying influence Of Amer
ican genius, and paying hundred fold
by its treasures and its products for the
treasure and blood expended in its ac-
QUESTION, and rendering possible the
girding of the American Continent with
an iron band of railroads which, as they
now stand, but foreshadow the many
lines radiating from the Mississippi Val
ley to Mexico and the Pacific coast, that
will make Of this Mississippi Valley the
seat of the empire of the world, and of
its cities the rivals of Tyre and Sidon for
wealth. All this the eloquent orator at
tributed to this American war. In con-
cluding, Mr.. Davis addressed few elo
quent and touching words to his com
rades in arms, the veterans present.

the stranger, pulling out a small tin-box
full of shipplasters, ''and here's charges
that will make year blood run cold!"
He was instructed IS TO what steps he

Feud . Between Catholics and
MethGiis.s.

An interesting strife between Catho-
lies and Methodists has broken ont in
Westfield, Mass. A revival is in pro-
gress ut the Methodist Church, and "a
Catholic girl employed in a Methodist
family has been induced, to attend the
meetings and 90 forward for prayers.
Her parents, who resided in the same
town, learned what was going on and
attended one of the meetings in great
excitement. At the close the girl start
ed to leave the church under an escort
of the members, but was met by her
parents, who endeavOred to force her
home with them. In the consequent
rumpus the mother tainted, and while
her friends We're caring for her the girl
escaped. The next day legal measures
were taken, under which the girl was
restored to her parents, and a grand
fracas resulted. The girl persists in her
new faith and says she will live and die
a Methodist. She says she shall be Of
age in a month or two, but her parents
say she puts her age a, year too high.
Both the Catholic and Methodist people
are wrought up to n high pitch of ex.
element over the case, and the end is
not yet.

A stolen Child Whose Percentage
~ Hidden i'm Mystery.

The Fayetteville (Ark.) Democrat
says: From Gen. ". i. Pearce, who
recently made II visit to Crawford Coun-
ty, We get the following particulars of II
child being stolen by a Federal soldier
during the war, which up to this time
has never been restored to It's parents.
Gen. Pearce obtained these particulars
from Mr.. a. c. Burgess, who resides on
Lees Creek in Crawford County, and
who has the child in charge.
The Federal soldier who stole the
child was named Frederick Kabler, of
Clay County, Illinois, who left Illinois
in 1868, and went to Missouri. Kabler
represented that he found the child in
Chattanooga, Tenn, that IL came to him
while on guard, and that he took her
with him, after the war, to Clay County,
III. Kabler says that the child was not
over two years old and that her name is
Sudic-but the child could not tell any
other name-after he returned TO Illi-
nois his wife died, and the child was
left with any one. who would take care
Of her--when Mr.. and Mrs. A. c..
hurges requested that the child be given
into their care, and they raised her.
She IS now apparently shout thirteen
years Of age, has blue eyes, red hair,
regular bat small features, and rather
pretty.
It is the opinion Of Mr.. Burgrs that
Kabler haS not toid the truth, Us the
child says she lived not in town, but at
Is place where there was onlyone house.
Mrs. u. thinks that the child was stolen
by X. from neal Nashville, Team. The
child seems to think that she was an
only child; when smell she talked a
good deal about an aunt who lived over
the river. She also says that soldiers
came 10 their house, tooE off her pa and
she has never seen him since.
Wesley Cashmen wrote from Nash
vile r~elative TO the child, supposing il
to be II daughter OF his si~ster-in-law /;
but on sending o photograph, no re-
Spouse has been received. 4 man NAM
ed Friedman, in Clay County, H., kept
the child awhile, and his daughter seems
to know something of her history from
her statements. The smallest dress was
of calico, small-figured and purple color,
supposed to have been worn by hel
when she was stolen.

Antiquarian Relics in Kentucky.

The Kentucky Geological Survey has
made some interesting developments in
American antiquities, especially in open
ing ancient ave dwellings. Salt Cave,
q cavern which, thoagh less generally
known than Mammoth Cave, presents
chambers and passages nearly rs ex-
tensive as those Of that peerless natural
opening, was found to contain ancient
tineplaces scattered for miles along its
galleries. For hearths small piles of
stones were made with n hole ia the
center to receive the faggot of dried
twigs perhaps smeared with grease.
Bundles of these faggots, tied up with
twisted bark, we're found. Cane reeds,
probably the remains Of ancient torches,
were very abundant. 4 more weird
discovery was made in a small chamber
three miles from the mouth, where the
prints of sandaled feet were found in
the dry sell. Large numbers OF the
sandals, neatly made Of dried and twist
ed PUSHES, we're also obtained, as we'll
as other articles of clothing made from
the inner bark of some tree. These
a~rticles must be of immense age, and
wv their preservation to the peculiar
air of the csve 10 preserve them from
perishing by contact with the outer air,
they were all soaked in thin glue and
mounted between glass. No bones
either Of men or animals we're found,
but a careful comparison between the
objects gathered and those obtained
from Short Cave, which is eight miles
from Mammoth Cave, prove the identi-
ty Of the people inhabiting the two re-
treats. This Identification il important
for in the collection of the AngericSA
Antiquarian Society at Worcester,
Massachusetts, there Is q mummy OBJ
tanned from Short Cave, and thus the
means ere at hand for q careful study
OF the theological characteristS &Rd
habits OF life OF an American race which
must be Of great age. The explorations
were made by Prof. +. W. Putnam, who
has given an account OF them in the
"American Naturalist" for July. Near
pageville, Kentucky, he found the re-
mains OF an ancient cemetery, including
at least thirty and probably many more
graves. One which was opened was
circular, about three feetdeep, the sides
lined with slabs OF limestone, and the
bottom covered with thin shale. Por-
lions of fifteen skeletons were found,
representing persons of all ages. The
adults had evidently been placed in q
sitting posture against the limestone
walls. 4 fragment of pottery was found
neal the surface, and may be part of n
vessel which was placed on the grave,
instead of in it, as is usually the case.
These graves are unlike any thing hith-
erto known, not resembling those of
either the Indians or the Mound Build
ers.-harch Galary.
