The Thanks of Congress-.

Since the Government has been or
gah.led there have been only thirty
four people named in resolutions OF
thanks by Congress. With three ex-
ceptions this honor has only been
paid to officers for great gallantry in
action during the war. The three ex-
ceptions were those of Capt. Ingraham,
Capt Ringgold and Capt. Dahlgren.
In the first case, Capt. Ingraham clear
ed his ship for action and rescued at
the lannon's mouth an American cit
izen by the name of Martin Roszia
from illegal seizure and imprisonment
on board the Austrian war brig Hussar;
Capt. Ringgold was honored for his
daring and skill in rescueing the crew
of the steam transport Governor.

also for the search and rescue of the

The city of Moberly, Mo-, is stirred
up over wonderful buried city, which
was discovered at tho bottom of coal
shaft $50 feet deep, which was being
sunk near Moberly. A hard and thick
stratum of lava arches in the buried
city, the streets of which are regularly
laid out and Enclosed by walls OF stone,
which is cut and dressed in fairly
good, although rude, style of masonry.
A hall 3Ox1O0 feet was discovered,
wherein were stone benches and tools
of all descriptions for mechanical serv-
ice. Further search disclosed statues
and images made of composition
closely resembling broaze, lacking
luster
A stone fountain was found in
wide court or street, and from it
stream OF perfectly pure water was
flowing, which, upon being tasted, was
found to be strongly impregnated with
lime. Lying beside the fountain were
portions of the skeleton of human
being. The bones of the leg measured,
the femur four and one-half feet, and
the tibia four feet and three inches,
showing that when alive the figure
was three times the size of an ordinary
man, and possessed of wonderful mus
cular power and quickness. The head
bones had separated in two places, the
sagittal and the coronal suture having
been destroyed. The implements found
embrace bronze and flint knives, stone
and granite hammers, metallic saws of
rude workmanship but proved metal,
and others of similar character. They
are not so highly polished nor so ac-
curately made as those now finished
by our best mechanics, but they show
skill and an evidence of an advanced
civilization.
The searching party spent twelve
hours in the depths, and only gave up
explorations because of the oil in their
lamps being low. These facts are
vouched for by Mr.. David Coates. the
recorder of the city of Moberly, and
Mr.. George Heating, city marshal,
who were of the exploring party. A
'urther extended search will be made

A Shower of Birds.

Special to ST. Louis Globe Democrat
A terrific rain and wind storm swept
over Central Mississippi, on the night
Of the I'd inst. 1t came from a north
westerly direction and lasted severa,
hours, blowing down trees, fences and
ourhouses, and in some places washed
up corn and other seeds that had been
recently planted. The next morning,
at Canton and vicinity, number Of
strange birds were found lying, or
sitting on the ground, some of them
dead and others crippled from being
hurled against trees, houses and other
obstacles. Again others were found
apparently uninjured, although they
seemed unable or indisposed to fly any
considerable distance. Upwards of
hundred of these birds have been
picked up, and, as they are entire
strangers to the locality, the SUPPOSE
ton is, that they were caught up on
the sea coast by the wind and waited
this way. They are certainly species
Of sea fowl, and resemble the penguin.
They are about the size of the teal
duck, have head like the game
chicken and bill like the crow. Their
legs are short and wcb-footed their
wings are also short. The feathers on
he neck and back are black and dark
green, while those on the breast are
bright silyery gray. The birds have 70
ais, and the live ones were found |
either sitting up or waddling, and |
made no effort to fly.
