Rockbridge Baths, Va.
Reported for the YIRGINIAN. 7


For a week or two your correspondent
has been sojourning in this section, and a
more picturesque region is hard to find IN
this or any other State.
Learning from an old army friend,
(Lleut. VIM. Sterritt, of the l4th Va.
Cay.l that within short distance of the
Baths, there is an Indian mound, l set out
on yesterday i'll quest of it, in hopes of
securing some relics. Accompanied by
my little friend Ned, who is to me IMAM
Friday, and with mattock and basket
l found the mound after a walk of thirty
minutes from my boarding place.
Ned las does everybody else hereabouts)
knew the way and on starting out said,
"I'll take you to the h9j,ua field"
found the mound situated about two
hundred yards from the junction of
Walkers and Hay creeks. Hays creek
rises near New Providence church, and
very near the Augusta line. Walkers
creek rises ON the opposite side of chain
OF hills a little further west and a little
nearer Augusta. They both flow south
westerly for some FIVE miles, then Hays
suddenly turns directly to the west and at
the point Of q hill OF three hundred feet in
length, it meets the waters of Walkers
creek, when together they plunge forward
to empty into North River below the
Baths.
You could not imagine a more suitable
place than the country surrounding the
junction of these two streams, either for a
permanent Indian encampment, or for a
battle field.
The older people ~hereabouts have a ira
dition that two tribes rofl Indians long,
long ago, met in battle at this point and
thus the slain warriors were buried be-
meath this mound.
The mound is in the centre Of a field
which is perfectly level. The field belongs
to a Mr.. Horn, but is rented to colored
man. This old man when we approached
him to ask his permission to prospect
readily assented with IF you wants to
dig, you can Dig
And We did dig with a will, and at the
end OF an hour we had our basket filled
with the bones of the aborigines. At a
depth OF no more than eighteen inches we
came upon the skull of human and dig
ging further found the whole skeleton in
kneeling position. Most of the bones
crumbled on exposure to the air but ]
have several whole bones Of the lower leg,
the hand, arm and spine in asplendid state
of preservation.
shall continue my researches and ex-
pect to find many other valuable relics.
Quite number of earthen pots, stone
tomahawks, fit arrow-heads, and beads of
divers shapes are to be found in possession
of the people Of this neighborhood-al
taken from the mound OF the surrounding
field.
am sorry to say that Mr.. Horn allows
the guilty alton of the mound and for $50
feet in every direction the foot cannot. be
put down without being put upon the
fragments of bones that have been plowed
up. ROVER.

ful services of our deceased Brother, we shall

ample.
Resotre3, That we tender to the bereayed

pathy In this hour of trial and gloom and pray

Resolved. That his demise admonishes us that
truth of Scripture which sayeth: dust thou
art, and unto dust thou shalt RETURN
ResOtred, That we will wear the usual badge
OF mourning for thirty days.

Church. Four churches were built
Staunton was unanimously chosen as
the next place of meeting.
Rev. Mr.. Smithson submitted a report |
Oh temperance, in which he urged the use
of the ballot in suppressing the liquor
trade. The report created considerable
discussion, and WAS finally amended so as
to exclude the word ballot"
A telegram from Salem last evening in
forms us that Rev. j. S. Gardner is APP
pointed to Staunton Station. and Rev r. |
Smithson to Alexandria. While we re-
greet to lose so able and conscientious a
minister as Mr. Smithson. we are pleased
that his place is to be filled by one who is
so well qualified to entertain and instruct,
as DR.. Gardner. We have known DIR. G..
fol- a number of years, and are satisfied the
to which he he has been ap-
pointed to minister, will be pleased with
him.
