From the Panama Echo. April 10.
Intereatlug DtecoTerjr at Old Panama or Ro
man lolni Nearly 1,000 Yean* Old.
It will bo remembered that in the Daily Echo, of
. March », a short paragraph announced tho discovery
of an earthenware vessel containing copper coins, at
Old Panama. Yesterday we were favored with a
carefUl inspection of these relics of old times by Dr.
Antbenrelth, of this olty, Into whoso possession they
have now come.
Not professing to be a numlsmatologlst, wo are or
coarse tumble to retd and interpret the inscriptions,
botitla evident that they are all of Roman origin,
many of them containing, quite legibly, the names of
MaarainUB, Diocletian, and Constantine. By this,
therefore, we hare a cine to their date. Who tho
Maximluns was, we are not able to determine, as
there were many Emperors of that name In the third
and fourth century: but from being associated with
tho coins of Diocletian, it is perhaps possible thal he
was the one who ruled Jointly with that Emperor be
tween the years A, D. 284 and 305. Diocletian Is well
known as one of the most violent persecutors of the
early Christians.
u Dioclstlan’s fiery sword
Worked huiy as tbo lightning j then waa Alban tried
England'a first martyr.’*
Constantine is remarkable as having been pro
claimed Emperor at York In 300, by the Roman le
gions In Britain: and though this title was not con
firmed to him, ne was placed in full authority over
Gaul, Spain and Britain. After having defeated nil
the other aspirants for the throne, he at last became
sole Emperor of the Roman Empire, and in 323 em
braced Christianity, and removed the seat of govern
ment from Rome to Constantinople.
The coins of these three Emperors aro well known
to antiquarians In Europe, and are constantly found
at all the old Roman stations, and sometimes in con
siderable quantities. The most interesting question
is, how they found their way to Old Panama 7 Per
haps some adventurer from 8pain brought them over
with him—some old antiquarian, who carried witli
him to the now world theso relics of the old. Did
they ever foil into the hands of the buccaneers, who,
finding them to be neither gold uor sliver, threw
them away In disgust? or did the owner, valueing
them more than the riches that surrounded him, hide
them in the ground from the grasp of the plundorere?
Theso questions —* — j| *“ f
swered.
Theso are, wo believe, tho first Roman coins ever
discovered npon the continent of America, and ns
. such, and from the locality in which tboy have been
- y will r
brought to light, they will doubtless possess muoh in
terest In tho eyes of those carious in such matters,
although their intrinsic value is probably not worth
more than that of the old copper they contain.
Death of Professor Farrar.
John Farrar, LL. D.. late Hollis Pro feasor of Math
ematics in Harvard University, died at his residence
in Cambridge, on Sunday last, tho 8th inst., aged 73.
His funeral took place yesterday morning. Professor
Farrar was a native of Lincoln, Maas. He graduated
at Harvard College just fifty years since next com
mencement, and after bolding the office of Tutor for
two years, was appointed to the Chair of Mathematics
and Natural Philosophy in 1807, which ho filled witli
distinguished ability and success for twenty-nine
years. In 1830 he resigned his Professorship on ac-
count of declining health, and since that time, for the
most part, had been a martyr to a protracted and ex
cruciating form of paralytic disease. His influence in
tho University gave a new impulse to the study of
mathematical science in this country. lie was one
of the first to introduce the writings of the higher
. French mathematicians as college text-books. His
Bcienliflo contributions to the periodicals of the day
are remarkable for their lucidity and terseness of
Btylo, and for the glowing outhuslasrn with which
they present the resalts of exact investigation in a
popular form. As a teacher, both in tho recitation-
room and the lectnre-room, be was perhaps uncoual-
ed among his contemporaries. He communicated Uls
own zeal for knowledge to the most indifferent pnpil.
had the good fortune to enjoy Ula instructions. Fuw
teachers havo ever been bo successful, not only in
winning tho personal regard of their pupils, but in
awakening an interest In their favorite science, in
all the relations of private life, Professor Farrar was
a model of excellence. His uniform suavity of dispo
sition, his rare conversational powers, his affluent out
pouring of anecdote and description, and tbo extent
and variety of bis information, perpetually culled
forth the admiration of a deeply attached circle of
friends. Tho invalid state In which ho was placed
for more than fifteen years, seldom impaired his in
terest in the progress of science and tho events of the
day, and never alloyed tho sweetness and patience
with which he endured a series of extraordinary suf
ferings. His memory will bo chariahed with grateful
respect by the friends of good learning, and tho ad
mirers of private worth—JV. Y. Tribune, 12th inst.
The Bourbon—Fresh Evidence.
A correspendont of the Courrierdcs Etats Unis
has been at some pains to refuto and discredit the in
genuity of Rev. Mr. Hanson. His latest stroke, and
apparently a mortal one, appeared yesterday in the
form of an affidavit from the mother of Mr. Williams,
attesting the non-regal nativity of the child/ Tho fol
lowing is the document:

Thomas Williams; and that she is the natural moth
er of Rev. Eleazer Williams; and thatslio is aware of
bis pretensions to be the son of Louis XVI., and
Knows them to be false; that he was her fourth child
and born at Caughnawaga; that, at tho time of his

and that her sister gave tho priest the name of the

about nine years old, some of his father's friends from

sometimes were fearful it would never get well; that
sho has no recollection how the scar camo oh his face;
and that Bhe never knew of his having any trunks or

very strongly resembles his father, Thomas Williams;
and says that no person whatever, either clergyman

was’ from one William Woodman, an Oneida Indian
Ybo came to her about three years ago, and asked
her if she would not be willing to go before a magis
trate and swear that Eleazer waa not her son, but
was given to her to bring up : she told him that she
would do no such thing, as she knew him to be her

The Georgian and the People of Florida.
We dip the following sentonce from the Jaokion*
vlllo Republican,of May 12th t
"Th* Georgian, which mini to be the oriels of time
patriotic Ftortdlant, a short time sloes declared that from
Its own knowledge nine-tenths of tho oitlsens of Middle
Florida were desirous of Joining themselves to Georgia, and
present indications certainly give some credibility to the
assertion."
Now we don’t anpposo tho editor of the Republican
intended to make a false statement, but wo do suppose
that in his efforts to mako out n strong caso against
opponents, he was much more indifferent as to the
truth at falsity of his statements that was creditable
to him or Just tons. He has published what is not
troo—what Is very far front boing true. The Geor
gian has never declared that "from its own knowledge
nine-tenths of tho citizens of Middle Florida were
desirous of joiutug themselves to Georgia.’’ Wo may
have stated it as our belief that a majority of tho peo-
plo of Middle Florida, If tho question were brought to
a vote, would pronounce lu favor of.unitlug with
Georgia. Yet even that opinion Is Ukely enough to
have been erroneous :—at any rato It was very harm
less, as thoro la no probability that tho subject will
be seriously agitated. As to tho patriotism of the
Middle Floridians, whom the Jacksonville editor
would blast by his terrific taunts and snecra, we ven
ture to say, though it is no business of ours, that
they are quite rb patriotic as their censor. They
have lived qulto as long in Florida os ho, and havo
quite as deep an interest In her wcllfaro. Such men
asCAll and Bkooue and McGkmee and Shine, the
Bay levs nnd Walksus—trusted members of both
parties—uniting upon what seems to them tho most
feasible schemo ol developing the resources of their
State by supplying her with valuable internal im
provements—can veTy well afford to disregard tho im*
poteut raviugs of their assailant.
However, it is not our province to defend them—
oven if they were in danger. We have only noticed
tbo attack because the Georgian was attempted to
be used as one of the weapons of assault.
Colonization Sleeting.
We have been requested to direct the attention of
our city subscribers to tbo mooting in behalf of the
Colonization Society, which is to coma off to-night at
the Lecture Room of the Independent Presbyterian
Church. Judge Wayne, of tho Supremo Court of the
United States, will preside on the occasion. An ad
dress will bo delivered by Rev. Mr. Gurley, Agent
ofthe Society, nnd by, perhaps, other gentlemen.
The question of African colonization, or to speak
more definitely, tho question of the removal of free
blacks from the United States to Africa, is one very
well worthy the attention of tho people of tho South.
In Virginia it has, for years, enlisted deep iuterest—
her leading men having lent- all the weight of their
names and influence to the nld of tho Colonization
Society. That Stuto has made provision by which a
fund ol fifty thousand dollars is annually to be de
voted to the removal of her free blacks, os will bo seen
from the subjoined paragraph:
“The Virginia Legislature, at ito late session, passed a
law appropriating thirty thousand dollar* per annum for
five rear*, and placing under the control of the board, in
addition, the amount rained by the tax upon freo colored
persons, nnd the sum received for Issuing tholr registers,
both of which aums,it is computed, will eoual ten thousand
dollars nnnually. And the board In authorized to receive
donations. The raoner at the dinpo.nl of the board in to bo
employed to aid tho Colonization Society in trnniporting
free pornonl of color to Africa and nubnlntlng thorn there for
a limited time. Tho Uovomor ban lately appointed, ns the
members of tho board, Poachy R. Urattan, Thos. II. Ellin,
John 0. Stegcr,and John Howard, Fnqn.”
We hope the meeting lo-nlght will he fully at*
tended.
President Nott and Union Collcgei
Some time Bince it was indicated in the public prints,
that President Nott, of Union College, Schenectady,
had been founu to be a defaulter ia the College funds
to a very largo amount. Wo kept a careful watch
for further intelligence relative to a charge so serious
against a man for so many years ofthe most eminent
character, and standing, at tho head of one of old
est and most exalted institutions or learning or our
country, but were unablo" to learn anything further,
except tho announcement that he had boon succeed
ed by Chancellor Walworth, long known ns nn able
jurist and profound scholar. Wo now see that nt a
meeting of the Board of Trustees, held on tho 27th
ult., tho following communication was submitted to
its consideration by President Nott, viz :
3b the Board of Trustees of Union College ?
Gentlemen—I havo received such strongand repeated ex
pressions of the confidence ofthe n<uvr<l of Trustees, tn re
aped tn the manner in which, under their appointment, I
havo conducted tho fiscal affairs of tho institution for more
than thirty years, tiiatl have nothing to dcsiro in that
sped.
The persevering e(Torts, however, which have been recent
ly made In other quarters, to inculpate me. nnd to cast cen
sure on the Hoard, and the question* which hnvo been rais
ed aa to the legal Tights of the Hoard and myself respective
ly. mako it my outy. as it I* my pleasure, to say. that I
hbpo the Trustees will neglect no inruns or asserting their
strident legal rights, and securing their entire interests In
their behalf,
I shall, ns soon aa It onu bo conveniently done, ho anxious
to obtain from a legal tribunal aucli a thorough scrutiny of
all the transaction* in which I have been engaged a* your
agent, and such authoritative interpretation or tho rights
and duties pertaining respectively to tho Hoard and my self
a* shall conclusively settle doubt*, and vindicate truth and
Juittico.
In tbo meantime. I trust that tho Trustee* will tako such
measures as in their wlsdow may seem meet to have their
interests properly represented before the Committee which
1ms been recently appointed by tho Senate of tht* Stale to
investigate tho financial condition of the College. Hie per
sonal responsibility springing out ofony relation to that in
quiry, It will be my duty to provide for.
I have only to add, that I am. gentlemen, with groat es
teem and respect. Yours, Ac .
Eupimirr Nott.
SatKNBCTAPT, April 27,1853.
After tho reading of the above communication, In
justice to the course of conduct that hns governed
the President relatlvo to the fiscal concerns of the
college, and in view, also, of tho recent unexampled
efforts which have been made to influence public
opinion, by circulating, in tho form of authoritative
and final decisions, mere exparte statements, alike
injurious *o tho Collego and himself, the following
resolution was unanimously passed by the Board of
Trustees, viz:
Resolml. That nothing ha* occurred to Impair tho confi
dence of the Trustees, heretofore so often expressed, in the
zeal, disinterestedness, integrity and signal devotion of tho
President in discharging the difficult and oppressive duties
witli which, as the lineal agent of Union College, ho has been
charged fur more than, thirty years.
Thus tho matter ia placed in its correct light be
fore the world. Wo cannot for a moment suppose
that ono whose wholo life thus far lias been devoted
to every good work elevating to human character,
will bo found wanting in anything pertaining to his
official relationship with au institution for tho advance
ment and welfare of which his best days havo been
devoted.
Unitarian* In the West.
A Unitarian conference assembled at St. Louis on
the 29th ult., and adjourned on tho 2d inst. Its ses
sion was full of interest, composed as it was of repre
sentatives from all tho western churches of tho de
nomination. The Association was formed ayeur ago
at Cincinnati, and consists of nineteen churches;
forty-nlue delegates being present at tho Conference.
Rev. Wu. G. Elliott, of St. Louis, presided. Among
tho plans of action discussed and previously adopted,
are the distribution off Tracts, Missions, aid to strag
gling societies, and to young men preparing for tho
ministry. A book depository has been established in
Cincinnati, where will be kept a supply of Unitarian
literature and theology of all departments.
At the recent session tho following preamble and
resolution were adopted:
A* there Is a misunderstanding of the views of Unitarian
Christians on Important subjects, it is deemed proper to
make some declaration in reference thereto:
Resolved, That we regard Jesus Christ not a* a more in
spired man, but as the Hon of God— tho messenger of tho
Father to men, mlraculouHly sent—tho mediator between
God and man—the Redeemer of the world ; and that we re
gard the miracles of the Now Testamonr as fads on which
the Gospel Is based.
The churches generally throughout tho West, of
this denomination, are In a most flourishing condi
tion In all respects, and under the care of an able
and devoted clergy. The Rev. Mr. Elliott, who
presided on tho abovo occasion, is a gentleman of
eminent character and pioty.nnd has built up a largo
church and congregation in St. I^uto. He may al
most be considered tho pioneer of tho Unitarian faith
In tho Valley of the Mississippi, though yet a young
man. t
Railroad Jubiler at Columbus.—Wo are reques
ted to announce that the train of cars from this city
for Columbus, on Thursday morning, will Icavo the
. depot at 5 o’clock, precisely. Those Intending to par
ticipate in tho festivities of tho occasion will plcoso
take notice and govern themselves accordingly.
Complimentary—-The Oglethorpo Infantry, of
Augusta, whose recent visit to this city and Charles
ton has been duly chronicled, at a called meeting, on
the 8th inst., at their.drill room, passed a series of
.complimentary resolutions expresaivo ofthe pleasure
enjoyed from tbo courtesies showered upon them on
every hand, from their departure till their return
home. The manner and terms employed conclusively
prove that the corps are no lea* wanting In true gen*
Unmanly characteristics than la soldiery discipline—
May the Madly feeling inspired on all sides continue
to increase.

the astonishment we feel at the mash of
f produced by merely four Instruments—rival
ling, as they do, In power and varied instrumental
effect*, the performance of V largo and complete or
chestra. Theso effect* are to be mainly ascribed to
the Pbysharmonlca, at whTch Htau Kxrbsxn pre-
aides, and nnder whose touch are produood the tones
of the various orchestral wind Instruments, from the
shrill plcoole to the deep, and sonorous tones of the
Fagotto and Trombone. Tbst splendid (and probably
tho best) creation of the fertile genius of Rossini—
the ovorture to " William Tell ’’—was given ia a
style that left nothing to wish for. Cho same terms
of admiration wilt serve for all, as this one pioce was
but a typo of the wholo.
Of the performers, we are compelled to placo Hum
Ahrend in tho foremoat rank, as wo aro satisfied that
his talents would placo him in that position amongst
tho best violoncellists known. Herb Kantbut’s per
formance is characterized by correctness, neatness of
execution, and purity of tono and intonation. Ukhk
Gundlauh, ably supports his position at tbo piano
forte. Hum Klein is ono of the best and purest
tenon that we havo heard, and his wffilo style evin
ces tho experienced artist. Herb Kbbssrn's arr|nge-
ment of tho various concerted pieces shows tho finish
ed musician, whilst hto performance on the Phys-
harmonica, Btamps him in addition as a practical, aa
well os theoretical one. In conclusion, we would say,
that all who have any tasto for tho concord of awcet
sounds, should not fail to secure the opportunity now
afforded them of ono of the richest musical treats
ever presented to us.
Tim Norwalk Catastrophe.—Among the most
painful incidents connected with this sad aflhir, is
tho death of Mrs. J. M. Fluent, of- Lancaster, Pa.,
who, with her husband, waa on her way to visit her
parents in Fltchburgh, Mass. Mr. Fluent waa very
severely Injured, and his wife killed. Ills injuries
were too serious to allow his accompanying her re'

Mr. Henry Bkookh, of that place, who has mot with
a violent death. Ono of whom was shot, another
drowned, another was run over by a railway car, anil
now the remains of another still, has been brought
from tho wreck of the disaster at Norwalk, for burial
by the Bide of her brothers and sisters who were sud

“ In the mulit of life we are in death.’’
A moat noble and praiseworthy caso of perseverance
is presented in tho restoration of the daughter of Rev.
Rufus W. Griswold, soon after the accident, by Mr.
Lynus Benedict, a stage driver, who continued his
efforts threo hours after the medical gentlemen had
declared restoration impossible, and tho body had
been placed among tho dead. Hopes aro entertained
of the recovery of tho young lady.
The wholo number of deaths ascertained to have
resulted from the catastrophe is forty-five. Of this

There are included two clergymen, eight physicians,

Col. Wm. M. Sessions was called to tho Chair, and Dr.
Philip Ketteror appointed to act a* Secretary. James W,
D’Lynn, Esq., was requested to oddresa tho meeting, and In

action on tho part of the Democrats, and the necessity of
a co-operation between the fictions which havo of into

that the general principles of tho Democratic party might
again lead us to victory. He urged the necessity ora hear
ty union o| all classes of Democrats.

tion of tho various factions into which tho party has been
unfortunately divided. The near approach of important

We havo Panama papers to the 3d Instant, by the
Philadelphia.
The town of Gorgona was almost entirely destroyed
by o fire, which broke out about 3 o’clock on tho mor
ning of tlio 20th ult., in tbo transportation store of
Wllfaccy & Co.
All tiic hotels, transportation offices and stores have
been entirely destroyed,and the losses will fall heavi
ly npon tho proprietors. Mr. Camrnbi, who had,
on the day before, purchased ono of tho hotels, to a
heavy loser. Mr. H. Howard, Mr. Taber and others,
have suffered considerably. We presume that busi
ness will now be removed to Croces, as the seuson has
so far advanced, as soon to render tbo Cruces road
preferablo for travelers. It to a most fortunate cir
cumstance that tho fire did not take place on tho pro*
viouejiight, as the hotels were crowded with tho El
Dorado's passengers, and tlio transportation offices
filled with valuablo express freight nnd baggage.
Mr. Howard was tbo heaviest snffercr, bis loss be
ing about $8000. It to said tliat tbo fire was set by n
Curthagenian, to destroy a young man who slept in
the store, and of whom ho was jealous, the young
man being intimate with his wife.

tbo constitution as a cursed and heretical pnc. and
declaring he would exllo himself rather than submit

Santana, M a good, wise, and patriotiochieftain, as

But the good son of the Church, having before bis

timo, n full exjwe of alt that had conic to lfls knowl

respondent, however, fills up tbo void thus left, and
states that there was a conspiracy on foot, between
tlio last President Dnoz, and tho clergy, to surrender
tho liberties or the country to Franco.
Tho existence of thto oonBpiracy fully accounts for
tho seizure intended by tlio French of the Peninsula
of Samana, in October last, which enterprise was
given up in consequence perhaps of tho determined
stand made against it by tbo American press, in pub
lishing nnd denouncing tho wholo schemo, and which
wasnUeinpted to be expinined awoy ns u simple pot

subsequent visit of tlio Spanish war steamer Isabel
Ciitolica, to the port of San Domingo, currying Sonor
Toriento ns an envoy from the Cnptaln-Gencral of

tiikty-fivs passengers and $300,000 In specie. Tbo Star

Bolivia and Peru.— It is feared fbat these two Re
publics were about to commence hostilities with each
other. We learn that the Peruvian Minister has been
driven from the former Republic. Wnr had not yet
been declared, but it was feared tliat tlio expulsion of
the Peruvian agent would accelerate the act.
Buenos Ayres.—An express arrived at Lima on the
9th,auuonncing that peace was declared, a treaty
signed, and Gen. Urqniza bad entered the capital.
CniLi.—Nothing new or interesting had transpir
ed ; tranquility reigned throughout tho Republic.—
President Montt was received nt Valparaiso with
great enthusiasm and eclat.
A heavy norther act iu on tlio 30th ult., causing
considerable damage among tho shipping in port.
Tho following is a list of vessels sunk, and more or

Chilian ship California, Dorado, lost; Chilian brig
Lord Cochrane, lost *, American clipper Warner, dam
aged ; Chilian brig Dos Amigos, damaged; Chilian

ble damage.

»hi|i Mexico, Captain Placo. from Imllanola nnd Gal-
Ycft™ we havo dates to tho tilth inst., inclusive:

ton on tho 5th, from Aransas Pass.
Tlio damage done to buildings nt Onlvcstnn, by tho

supposed, the principal loss being tiic unroofing of
Mr. St. Cyr s large brick store, and consequent dam
age to goods. Several small tenements were blown
down, and also fences nnd trees.
It appears that the doubts of the most skeptical, as
to the productiveness of tlio gold mines lately discov
ered on tho Colorado nnd its tributaries, nro remov-
cd, recent accounts from the mining region fully con-
firming tlio previous reports.—N. O. Crescent, 13th
