Wilkes county, In this State, is in great ex-
citemcnt over the discovery OF large
quantity OF Confederate treasure, about
which so much has been said and written.
During a storm this week n small oak tree
was blown down about nine miles from
Washington. Mr.. John Frank, while rid
ing by, saw something shining and cx-
amned the roots OF the tree. In the hole
left by the tree he found almost peck OF
gold and large quantity OF jewels and
precious stones. Among the latter were
diamonds, rubies, and pearls, and many
pieces OF exquisite workmanship, the
value OF which has been placed by
several connoisseurs at $4,000. The
belief expressed by all who have seen the
treasure is that 1t is part OF the lot lost by
the Confederate Cabinet during its flight
through this section, rs the road upon
which this treasure was found was the
same upon which the Confederates re-
treated. 1t is supposed that the person

for security. and either died natural death
or was killed soon after, and that conse-
uuently the treasure was never unearthed.
The great quantity OF jewels and precious
stones suggests that it must have been the
contents OF the mysterious iewelry-box in
trusted to Mrs. Moss and taken from her
shortly afterward by a stranger while re-
treating through the country.
President Davis and his Cabinet, together
with q number OF distinguished Confede-
rates, stopped at the residence OF Mrs.
Moss, an aged widow lady, where, it is
believed, the last council OF the Confede-
racy was held. When the meeting was
about over, General John c.. Breckenridge
called in Mrs. Moss, and, handing her a
box Of quaint device, told her 1t was OF
great value, as 1t contained rare iewelry
which had been pawned by ladies OF the
Confederacy for the benefit OF the cause.
and desired her TO secrete it until some
one with proper authority should return
to claim il. When the party had re-
sumed its retreat Mrs. Moss exam

from hundreds OF men who were searching
the country for remnants OF the robbed
treasure train. One night horseman rode
up to her residence. Alighting, he called
Mrs. Moss aside. and in whispered words
told her that he was the accredited agent OF
the persons who had left the iewelry-box
in her possession, and that he had been in

by the mans assurance and appearance OF
honesty, she placed the box in his hands,

The fact that the jewels just found CORE

that they are the same.
