RUINS OF ANCIENT CITIES
IN AMERICA.
Extraordinary Discoveries in the Coun
try of the Navajoes—Another Petra
—Strange Fashion of Building, etc.,
etc.
On the 17th of October last, a party
of twelve Mormons and one Indian,
headed by W. D. Huntington, left Man-
ti, one of the most southern settlements
in Utah Territory, by request of Gov
ernor Young, to explore the southern
"part of the Territory, of which nothing
is known, and if possible open a trade
with the Navajoes, who dwell in that
quarter, for sheep, goats and horses, of
which it is known they have an abun-
dance. They have, besides, considera
ble'skill in manufactures, and make all
their blankets, leather, bridle-bits, &c.,
many of which are executed with most
curious workmanship They also work
iron, gold and silver into a multitude of
forms, and articles for the warrior, hus
bandman aud tradesman. The party
returned to the Mormon settlement on
the 21st of December last, having on
their trip made some most remarkable
discoveries. They ft.und, infact/ff-e
ruins of a city built in the rocks, very
sitniliar to the farfamed Petra in the
Eastern Desert, and even surpassing it
in the extent. From Mr. Huntington's
account, furnished the Deserst News,
we take the following highly interesting
particulars.
On the 17th we left Manti with our
full fit-out of men and animals,mid with
five wagons. We never felt more gloomy
and doubtful,or undertook what appera-
cd a more hazardous work, during an
experience of twenty years in thi
church. A wild, mountainous and
dreary desert, hitherto almost entirely
unknown, lay before us, and what was
still more formidable, Indian Walker
and his allies l}ad decreed that we never
should pass, and with twenty Spaniards
had posted themselves on our route, and
their ral ly smoke was in full view- Still
wc unanimously resolved to go ahead,
and our enemies fled before we reach
ed their position, the Spaniards their
jecting eight or ten inches, but worn to
point at their extremities. Every
building was a fortification built in the
strongest manner imaginable, and in a
style that the present age knew nothing
of; many of them still plainly show the
whole manner of structure and even the
marks of the workman’s tools. The
first ruins we discovered were three
stone buildings, crumbled to mere heaps.
One appeared to have been a pottery,
for in and around it were loads of frag
ments of crockery of fine quality, orna
mented with a great variety of figures,
painted with various colors, as bright as
if put on but yesterday.
A FORTIFIED CITY.
From here we traveled ten miles,
with occasional ruins by the way, and
entered a deep canon, projecting shel
ves of rock, and under these shelves
were numerous houses or fortifications.
The one we examined was divided into
twenty-four rooms, each nearly square,
and enclosing an area of about 144
square feet. The front wall was built up
to the over-hanging cliff, which formed
the roof, and was curved and fu!| of port
holes. The . stories were all squar
ed and faced, were of ait equal
thickness, and laid up with joints
broken in a workmanlike manner.
The only entrance we could find
was a hole about two feet square, and
eighteeu inches from the ground, which
is the usual size of all the doors, both in
the outer and partition walls, with the
exception of some subterranean entran
ces, which were yet smaller and difficult
to find. Through the perfection of the
rocky roof,there was very little rubbish
in the rooms. From the first room we
passed through a small hole in the right-
hand coiner to the second, and there
through another hole into the third, and
so on, from left room to right and right
to left, all through the twenty-four
rooms, and every wall was supplied with
port-holes.
Fifty yardsabove this was a large cave
with a narrow winding entrance, guard'
ed by a high wall ; near the mouth

The New York Evening Post, the
oldest Democratic paper in the State,
attributes the loss of New Hampshire
to the mal-administration of affairs by
President Pierce. It remarks :
If there was any doubt hefanre of thc
present state of public feeling in New
Hampshire,there can be none since this
election. The State has pronounced
itself against Mr. Pierce’s administra
tion with an emphasis which leaves no
room for cavil. Nothing could have
been more flattering to a candidate than
the vote which New Hanishire gave
Mr. Pierce at the time of his election,
aud scarce any circumstance, we think,
could mortify him more than such a
reversal of its favorable judgment—such
declaration made by his old neighbors
of their utter loss of confidence in him.
In two years he has gambled away the
princely inheritance of popularity with
which he entered upon his official life,
ruined and broken up his party, and
caused a complete revolution in the po
litical character of the States which
gave him the most effectual support
There never was a inan elected to the
Presidency whose public course was
more plainly defined by the circumstan
ces of the time, and more free from em
barrassing perplexities,, than that of Mr
Pierce, two years since; and there never
was one among them who missed iiis
wyf so deplorably.”
KNOW NOTHINGISM.
We confess oursjjves unable to com
prehend the course pursued by many
truly native born Americans in refet-
ence to tbe Know Nothings, .and tho
principles they avow.
Many are fierce, and unrelenting in
their abuse, and denunciations of tin-
new party, in doing so however, do not
attack the principles o ( >enly, and fairly,
but bunt some scare crow suiting their
own imaginations, and one which they
can successfully demolish, and at it the-'
go. The abolitionists of the North attacl.
them for their opposition to abolitionism,
and the Southern Rights Democracy o
the South bounce down on them for
being abolitionists, but none atteiu[ t to
attack their principles as publicly set
forth. They remind us of an individua’
who had fell out with all mankind, and
being still unable to pick up a fight,
finally, fell out with his own shadow and
commenced rocking it. The old fogy
leaders are evidently in a flutter, and
well ihey may, as old things are to be
done away with in political matters.
The principles of the American par
ty are already having their influence
one of which is opposition to the appoint
ment of foreign born citizens to repre
sent the American Government at the
courts of other nations. Thc appoint
ment of foreigners is considered wrong
in principle, and highly mischievous iit
its effects, and they are waging war
against it, and intend to stop it. The
good result of this move is visible in the
D iplomatic and Consular Bill," one
of its provisions is that none but native
born American citizens shall hereafter
represent this country before Joreign
Courts. This doctrine was never before
recognized in tbe legislation of thi*
country, and the passage of this Bill,
thus excluding foreign born citizens from
these high and responsible positions,
was brought about doubtless by th*
Know Nothing movement, and the loud
clamors of the sovereign people for thc
enactment of such a law.—Dahlonega

Du. Chapman.—The following an
ecdote is related of the celebrated Dr,
Chapman:
He was called on on one occasion to
visit the sick bed of a well known apo
thecary of Philadelphia, whose family
physician he was. The man of drugs
was somewhat alarmed, nor could the
assurance of Dr. C. entirely allay his
fears that his illness was to be his last
"Doctor,” said the patient, finally,
"I don’t fear death, but one thing lies
heavily upon my mind.
"What’s that V said Chapman, lia-ti-
ly.
"Will, sir, when I was commencing
business here in Philadelphia, I was
in the habit of adulterating many of
my drugs in order to make them hold
out the longer. I wonder if God will
forgive me V'
The Doctoi who had a hearty hatred
For such practices, dropped the patient’
hand and looking him steadily in the
face, replied:
"Forgive you 1 They say God Al
mighty’s merciful, Mr. B., but if I were
he" I’d see you d—d first.”
1 Did’ as the Rest Did.”'—This
tame yielding spirit—this doing ‘as the
rest did” has ruined thousands.
A young man is invited by vicious
company to visit' the theatre dr the
gambling room, or other haunts of licen
tiousness. He becomes dissipated-,
spends bis time, loses bis credit-,squan
ders his property, and at last sinks
into an untimely grave. What ruined
him 1 Simply "doing what the rest'did.”
The farther has a family of sons. Hd
is wealthy. Other childr’eu in the same
situation of life do so, and ard indulged
in this 1111115 and that. He indulges his
own in tlve same ways They grow up
idlers, and fops. The father wonders
why his-children do not succeed better.
He has spent so much mdney on their
education, has given them great advan:
tages ; but alas! they are dnly a source
of vexation aud trouble: Poor man 1 lie*
just paying the penalty of‘ doing as
the rest did.”
The poor mother strives hard to bring
t » her daughters genteelly. They
learn what others do—to paint-, to sing-,
to play, to dance, andseverali other usr-
fnl mafters. Iu time they marry ; tlteir
husbands are unable tosuppdri their ex
travagance, and they are soon reduced
to poverty and wretchcdne s. The good
woman is astonished. "Truly.” I did
as the rest did ” . . ..
The sinner, following the example cl
others puts off repentance, and ucgleca.

through life till unawares d ath strikes
the fatal blow. He has no time left
now to prepare. And he goes down W
destruction, because he was so Radish
to do as the rest did.”
