A Rift of History.

HardinC ounty,in many respects
ia q historic county, yet there are
many things of vital Importance
that exist here that history writer's
failed to make mention of, that
have been visible to human III.
spection and wonder for ages. A
nrominent citizen of Savannah in
formed a Courier reporter Monday
evening, that one important thing
that historians have failed 10
chronical here, was some mounds,
of gigantic proportion for miles
up and down the Tennessee River
on the eastern side of the river
These mounds tower many feel
above the land surrounding them,
ard upon close inspection show
that they have been used in days
past and gone, by some tribe O
neople for breast works; for on
ton OF them can plainly be seei
evide noes of where n cannon wal
nlanted. Curiosity seekers, II
some instances, have dug int'
these mounds, and Indian relic
of various kinds have beenbrough
to light. These mounds averas
D all the way from fifty yards 10
ouarter of mile apart, and sho'
- hevond a doubt that they wei
o placed there by human hands a
n q means of protection from u
. advance of the enemy in va

" history fails to throw any llg
upon.

Il less it is true. Some sections
