a Prehistoric Town.

Archaeologists have made the discovery
that the site of a prehistoric town is being
uncovered by the gradual washing away of
the blue Banks /" of the Ohio River. near
Portsmouth, about 100 miles from Columbus.
As evidence of this, arfhaeologists say the re-
mains of perfect chimneys and hearths are
frequently exposed yteIview. In each case
there is a layer o. stones covered by wood
ashes The space covered by each hearth is
seldom more than tSto)feet.
The theory is tta,the village was aban-
doaed by the mound builders ages ago on
account of some great food, and that, during
the long term of years chat has elapsed, owing
to falling leaves, moisture and other causes,
the fireplaces became covered with stratum
of soil. Charles Noel while digging into an
old mound near the,,riyer bank unearthed
skeleton, the greateruportion OF which crum-
bled to dust as soon as exposed. In the
teeth, which were sti1lwell preserved, were
two pearls about as large as buckshot and
very bright. Noel has the teeth on exhibition

although so early i'm the morning, they
were all on the streets, no doubt having
been apprised of our approach by the re
treating FederalS.
They brought us hot coffee biscuits and
everything good to eat and how we enjoyed
it. Our regiment was made provCSt-guard
and we had a royal time all day the cib-
zenS furnishing us cooked ratiOnS of the
very best they had, and filling our haver
sacks To overlooking.
The enemy, after crossing the river
formed line battle on the north hank
and when our forces came up a sharp
little fight occurred that we Witnessed hut
took no part in though stray bullets fre
quently struck uncomforiably near us,
causing us to dodge behind houses for
shelter.
After the skirmish we began gathering
up the commiSsary stores and other plun-
der that the Yankees had failed to burn
This kept us busy a good part OF the day,
but when we were not at work. the younger
portion of us were engaged IN the more
agreeable business of talking to the pretty
young women.
Nov 29.-This morning we found the
enemy still occupying the north bank OF the
river so we moved six miles above, crossed,
and began n race to get in Their rear. Gen.
Hood issued 2 circular stating that his
intention was to heat them to Nashville,
that he expects us to march hard and not
give up under any circumstances"
When we reached the crossing place our
cavalry had opened the way, and having
nothing to oppose us we went forward
with high hopes of intercepting The force
that we left al Columbia
After hard days march we arrived al
Spring Hill al dusk, in advance OF quite a
body OF the enemy, and expected to dis
pite their passage; but instead, we were
allowed to bivouac parallel with and only
a short distance from the read, where we
could hear them passing all night.
Having accomplished the very thing
which Cen. Hood asked us to, it was pro-
voling to have TO lie still and let the golden
slip from away us without
even an attempt To reap the fruit OF our
forced march, which seemed to be within
)ur grasp. Every private was impressed
with the idea that a fearful blunder had
been made, and many remarks we're made

Mr.. Seaman shows his appreciation of the

Il desire to express to the committee

puts aside selfish things. The memories
that cluster around the testimonial pre-
