TIE SENATORSHIP.

Awriter in the Durham Herald with We
ry praiseworthy magnanimity proposes that
in the selection Of the two gentlemen to
represent our Senatorial District. both Cas-
we'll and Person shall be represented and
Orange shall qnietly look %. Now we
presume this is intended rs a salyo 10 or
sister counties rs compensation for supposr
ed passed grievances. But has any griey-
ance been done either of those much res
pected counties? In the formation Of the
District. special reference was had to the
weight Of influence each Of the three eoun-
ties carried with them. caswell was most
generally republican, e.ecting ofterer Re-
publicans than Democrats to the Legisla-
ture. and always 10 general election Civ
ing republican majority. Person, always
calamity fighting. was Jet sustaining its
Democratic principles BY SNAIL nlajOrities,
and once in while doomed to be repre-
sented by a republican. While Orange,
always with q large Democratic majority.
and always securing democratic represen-
iatiOn, was the security Of the District
Whatever might be the short eO,nings d
Casrell and Person, Orange always
brought them through. and secured the
election Of the two Senators. Ii was re-
gard to this fact, that BY agreement.
Orange vas aliOays, as long astbe District
existed. to have one senator. while, Person
and Caswell we're to have the other alter

TRACES on THEIR WORK IN MISSISSIPPI
--REMARKABig PREHISTORIC
DISCOVERY.


Prof James n. Gage. Of Washing.
ton City, an eminent gcologist and
mineralogist who has recently been
engaged In making extensive oxplo.
Tations regarding the the works oI
the ancient mound-bnilders, reports
the discovery of very remarkable
wall In Claiborne county, eighteen
miles east OF Port Gibaon. Miss. The
discovery has been mentioned In
several papers within the course Of a
few days, but they do not appear 90
have realized n tithe ofits antiquari-
an and archaeological interest and i'm
portance. We eondense the partieu-
lars ofthe discovery from the Pro-
fessor's statement inthe Washington
Republican. Il appears that blocks
OF the stone have been taken by the
farmers for building purposes for
many years, and il has formed n gen.
oral quarry for furnishing large
blocks Of stone. Bat the farmers
have never IL seems, been aware OF
the antiquarian importance of this
wall, which j. claimed 10 be cwval or
anterior 90 lladrins great wall In
England. Prof. Gage employed Ia
borers and un powered portion of
the wall 20 feet IN width and lis feet
in length, hut on removing the soil
here and there he traced il 600 feet.
The workmcn uncovered the wall
to depth OF six feet bat lower thah
this the excavations were not con.
tinued. Large forest trees Of pine
and oak several hundred years old
are growing on top Of the wall. The
blocks are limestone, aud belong to
the tertiary formation. They were
hewn out OF this formation and are
three feet in length, twenty inches in
width and twenty-two inches in
thickness. One OF these blocks has
been shipped 10 Philadclphia for the
centennial. The wall from which il
was taken forms two sides OF rect.
anglar, one part running east and
wesi, aud the other north aud south.
The excavations We're made near the
~ : =. ftsts. ,.iIt - d,a rUuttn fruml
this point another portion Of the wall
re eappears on the banks of Bayou
Pierre, owing lo the washing out ol
the creek, making il a large expo
sure, and IL ~ therefore judged that
this II n continuation oi thc ancient
wall. The wall was built on the
side of "a ridge overlooking n swamp
which, In ancient times, was evident
Jy the bed ola lake, and the infer.
ence j. that the wall was erected by
the ancient occupants a. a barrier
against an enemy or posSiably ~ an
ancient levec or dyke erected for the
protection Of the inhabitants against
the cncroachmcnts Of the lake or the
waters OF the Mississippi. From
other evidences of the wide extent Of
this wall. ag described by Prot. Gage,
il appears that IT included a large
area of land, covering probably 400
square miles and extending io the
Mississippi river. The locality
where the wall exists i in ncighbor-
hood of the Natchez Indians. who
were found in a state OF considerable
civilization when first visited by the
French, and these remains, il l. con
jeetured by Prof Gage, had some
connection with the occupation by
the warlike ancestors of this interest
ing and famous tribe.

plants are described as roaming
about in large herds in the most tame
and inoffensive fashion, almost heed
less OF man, for none have been shot
for upward OF twelve months. There
is at present such a large class of so
cieiy ia England, who advocate kind
