Almost evorj’ locality has a tradition of buried wealth, secreted in the bowels of the earth by enterprising and reck less men, who braved the dangers of the deep, or penetrated the unexplored wilderness, inhabited by savage beasts and more savage Indians, to obtain treasures that misfortunes compelled them to abandon. Not the least interesting of these marvelous traditions is the story of the labor expended, sufferings endured and dangers encountered by a compa ny of hardy men in accumulating treasure that now lies concealed near a small stream that meanders through the mountains of a neighboring eoun Surveyor, Architect.

After their flight they separated to H j tlieir several homes, and years elapsed j before it was safe to return. In the meantime many of the adventurers died and with them the important secret. _I\ hen the country became settled with white men, and the Indians were driven from their homes, Swift, the only survivor of his company, now an old man, bowed down with age, and feeble from infirmities, attempted to revisit the scene of his early labors, lie carried with him maps upon which were written minute descriptions of the location of the furnace, directions to the mines, and the spot where was buried full an hundred gallons of coined silver. His endeavors, however, proved fruitless. Sickness compelled him to abandon the effort and a sudden afllic- tion of the loss of sight impressed him with the belief that it was a dispensa tion of God, warning him to go no fur ther, and as a punishment for the murder of the Indian. Being in des titute circumstances he sold the maps to procure the comforts and necessities of life. Swift lived but a few weeks, and when about to die told those around his bed that the story of his adventures were true and that the silver was buried in the forest. old Mani, r rhomas street.

Y ears ago, there fell from a project ing cliff a large state, with it ancient tools and implements used in coining money, suiting the descriptions of Swift. They were all covered and eaten by rust, showing that for a long time they had boon subject to the influ ence of decay. The skeleton of a man was found buried between two large stones, and covered with loose rocks, supposed to be that of the murdered Indian. No determined effort has ever been mode to discover the mines of silver by means of the descriptions, and it re mains for some enterprising individual to possess himself of the immense wealth said to lie buried. Search has been pending upon the vague tradition of the country to guide them, and many are firm in the belief that their labors will yet be rewarded. There is hardly a family in North eastern Kentucky but has heard of Swift’s silver mines, and in that por tion of the country where they arc said to be situated, old men, who have grown gray in the belief that these mines do exist in the immediate vicini ty of their homes, will point out ob jects which they aver were used by Swift and his men to guide them iu tlieir journeys, and tlieir dim eyes will grow bright, their pallid cheeks ilusli with childish eagerness and their tottering steps hoeom firrae when the story of the hidden treasure is mentioned. They live with the expectation of seeing the shining metal dug from the earth and of sharing its profusion. When the early settlers of Kentucky gathered around the hearthstones in their lowly cabins, the stories that be guiled the passing hours were not of conquests in the ball-room, amusainents of the town, or sports of the metrop olis, but they were of a sterner or more exciting character: of bloody encounters with the red men of the forest, desperate struggles with savage beasts, and thrilling adventures in the trackless wilderness. The love for the strange and marvelous often prompted them to draw upon their imagination to weave a story befitting the atten tion of the brave and reckless compan ions by whom they were surrounded, and thus their children, eager to fill their memories with the fanciful stories of other days, have brought down to us many traditions that have no foun elation except in the fertile imagina tion of the first relator. Not such a tradition, however, is the one of Swift and his silver mine It is supported by evidences of later days, and an examination of the testi mony that time lias revealed may not lie amiss in relation to this strange and romantic story. When Swift was driven from the silver mines of Kentucky hv the ap proach of hostile Indians he returned to his home in North Carolina. The money which he had with him created suspicion among his neighbors and ho was arrested as a counterfeiter. In those days, it will he borne in mind, there existed no mint in the United States, ami the only- test for the cir culating money was the purity of the metal. Upon the trial of the case against Swift it was proven that the coin in liis possession was pure silver, and the charges against him were dis missed. The ancient tools and instruments me l for coining money which fell from a cliff in Car ter county .w.ere. se$n.and examined by men now living. These men are highly respectable and enti tled to full credit, and they vouch for the truth of the statement. One of the first settlers of the county found near his cabin a quantity of cinder of such unusual color and weight as to induce him to have it tested by an ex pert. This was done, and the result was a considerable amount of pure sil ver, which at his instance was convert ed into spoons, anil these spoons are still in the possession of the family, Several years atm a couple of Indians from the far West visited Carter county, and acted in such a manner as to excite the attention of the citi zens. They remained for a considera ble time and were continually wander ing over the mountains, and making minute examinations of the country along the small streams. When about to leave they told an old gentleman with whom they stayed that they were in search of a silver mine which the traditions of tlieir tribe located in that section of Kentucky; but they were unable to find it owing to the changed condition of the country. At an early day silver money was in circulation in the settlement of what is now West Virginia said to have been made by Swift. It was free from al loy and of such a description as to in dicate that it had never passed through an established mint. . A’ bar of pure silver was found many years ago near a small mill in Carter county which was thought to have been smelted from ore obtained from the silver mines said to exist in that county. And within the past few days a place of ore which ha : every appearance of silver ore, and : small quantity of metal which is said to he silver, was shown by a gentleman of undoubted veracity, who testifies that he got the ore in the mountains of Kentucky and with his own hands smelted the metal from ore obtained in these same mountains. An eminent geologist reports the formation of this section of Kentucky as being a prob- letii of the greatest interest, and if the traditions of these silver mines be true, and there is reason so to believe, Car ter county is not only rich in her for ests of the most excellent timber, thick veins of the finest of coals and im mense beds of the best of iron ore, but has a wealth, if developed, that will make the pulse beat quick and the mind grow wild in contemplating the grand display of God’s providence. GARDENING IN FEBRUARY. The agricultural editor of the Ala bama Advance gives the following ad vice, which is not ordinarily in advance of the season here. In fact, we have commonly sowu English peas and planted Irish potatoes between Christ mas and New year, and never failed with potatoes, while we lost the peas once in the course of twelve seasons. This winter, however, was so severe as to suggest a postponement till about 1st February : As soon as the season will permit, sow the seed in drills about 20 inches apart, very thinly and evenly, about half an inch deep. Before covering up the seed sprinkle a few seeds of long scarlet radish in the drills; they will come up at once and show where the rows are. The soil can he hoed, and the radishes will be used within four weeks; the beets when thinned out should stand six inches apart. Se lect extra early turnip and Buist’s im proved long blood for late. CARROTS. Sow similar to beets. Select Early Horn and llalf-long Scarlet; distin guish the rows by a few seeds of tux" nip radish ; anil the radish crop will fee oft before the carrots are advanced for* thinning out. CABBAGE SEED. If you overlooked sowing last*month attend to it at once. Large York, Jersey Wakefield, Wininstadt, end Flat Dutch will give you a succession of heads during April :nd May. 3 cauliflower and broccoli. These planted in the Autumn vrilj commence -heading, and should the weather be cold give them a slight protection of straw or other covering. PEAS. 7 Peas are a very important cnop in every garden, and* must not bTover- looked. Sow plenty of them, as fiiey are a general favorite. There is as much difierence in the quality of; this vegetable as in any other, §ncl we think a little more. We advise plant ing all that we now name, and they will produce a succession of crops-: EXTRA EARLY. £' - « M , Sow extra early in rows two feet apart and the peas about half an -inch apart in the row, the drills three inches deep. Wo will here rqpark, and beg that it shall be observed; that where the ground is dry there should l>c watoj run in the drills before the peas are sown—then sow as ad vised— cover up, and the moisture will at once yegetate the seeds. As soon a3 up hue well and keep clear of weeds; when they are about one foot high give them stakes or put in rods six feet apart, anil run twine of any cheap kind along them. VETO MESSAGE EXTRAORDINARY. MARROWFAT. This class of pea is no favorite of ours, but in the Southern States it is popular with all. Sow in drills four feet apart; between each drill sow a row of broad-leaved spinach, which will be olf before the peas shade the ground, tation in approval CARI.Y DANIEL O’ROUKF. AND BISHOP DWARF. Early Daniel O’Rouko and Bishop’s dwarf arc the next in maturing. Sow rows two and a half feet apart. CHAMPION OF ENGLAND. Champion of England; a very lus cious pea, and should he grown by all.

LETTUCE. There are two kinds that may now he sown, and these, to head well, re quire very rich ground , sow in very shallow drill twelve inches apart truth, the seed requires very little cov ering of soil; when up thin out to six inches apart; the early butter or cab bage, and the royal cabbage are the best. The Quincy Whig becomes sliglitly sarcastic on Gov. Palmer’s veto of one of its pets, and gets off the following: Governor P. finds “The Lord’s Prayer” in a file of bills awaiting bis approval, and cogitating profoundly U]xm abstract constitutional points, writes out the following message: To the Hon. William Smith, Speaker of the House of Representatives: I am unable to approve a bill for “ An act to obtain daily supplies and to avoid the paths of temptation,” which has originated, as I am inform ed, in the House over which you preside. My objections to this bill are iopuded upon constitutional grounds, g,as follows: lie presentation of different sub- jcp-'sS matter in the title of the bill is a lUrpct violation of constitutional enact ment, and on examination of the bill itself it will be found that solicitation is made not only for a supply of daily •bread, and for an avoidance of the ♦paths of temptation, but for the liqui dation of delvs without due consult ra tion—gross anil palpable infringement upon vested rights and lawful obliga tions which are the very basis of free government. There can be no authority for “ the forgiveness of debts in such manner as the debtor may relinquish his own claims upon others,” and this feature of the bill affords ground of suspiciion that some mischievous aud dangerous intention is in view. 2. The third line of the first section provides that a certain “ will” or authority be extended over the State Illinois, as a portion of the planet upon which we reside in the same manner and to the same extent as the said authority exists in another and unknown sphere. This provision is only special legis lation in its worst form, but actually fixes upon us the denomination of uncertain and probably unconstitu tional laws, and is a further proof, to my mind, that the objects contemplat ed in the hill are simply the further ance of private and selfish interests. I have had occasion heretofore to maintain the rights and dignities of the State of Illinois, when threatened by Federal usurpation, and I take this occasion to affirm the position set forth in a prior message to the General Assembly. In the case now under consideraeion the proposition to subject the State of Illinois to a centralized power possessing a presumed despotic sway, and which would completely obliterate that inherent sovereignty ll&dmed to he inalienable under our form of government, is a measure fraught with utmost danger to our libsrtioae - There are further objection which might be consistently urged against the measures herewith returned. The phrascolegy is not familiar or in proper form, while the legal ell'ect of some portions of the hill not commented upon above would in my opinion he subversive of private as well as public interests.

We are also authorized to civc their plan, and who wish can try it: They open one furrow putting about 100 pounds to the acre, and running around said furrow and cover it. up. Putting about 1.00 pounds more on each side of the first and covering it all up. This makes 000 pounds to the acre. When you plant the seed, run a fnrrow on the middle row of the three distributes. The tap roots rim through the middle row, the smaller roots runs out into each of the other two distributes, and hence one bale to the acre is made. In our judgment, it is the best plan in use.

Poor Boys 1 — In the Ukrain (Russia) the women court more gen erally than the men. When a young woman falls in love with a man she is not in the least ashamed to go to his father’s house and reveal her passion in the most tender and pathetic man ner, and to promise the most submissive obedience if he will accept her as a wife. Should the insensible man pretend any excuse, she tells him she is resolved never to go out of the house till he gives his consent, and accord ingly, taking up her lodgings, remains there. If he still obstinately refuses her, his case becomes exceedingly dis tressing. The church is commonly on her side, and to turn her out would E revoke her kindred to revenge her onor, so that lie has no method left Sitting ou the piazza of the C’ata ract was young, foppish-looking gentleman, his garments very highly scented with a mingled odor of musk and cologne. A solemn-faced, odd looking man, after passing the dandy several times, with a look of aversion which drew general notice, suddenly stopped, and in a confidential tone said: “Stranger, I know what’ll take that scent out of your clothes, you—” “What! what do you mean, sir? said the exquisite, fired with indigua tion and starting from his chair. “Oh, get mad, now—swear, pitch round, fight, just because a man wants to do you a kindness,” cooly replied country. “But I tell you I do know what’ll take out that smell-- phew You just bury your clothes—bury ’em a ilav or two. Uncle Josh got foul of a skunk, and he—” At this instant there went up from the crowd a simultaneous roar of mer- ment, and the dandy very sensibly “cleared the crop" and vanished up stairs. but to betake himself to flight till he rcpeatodly made by persons dc- ! is otherwise disposed of. Horrible Murders at Calcut ta.—A horrible wholesale murder is reported from Calcutta. It appears that on Friday week (says the Bom bay Gazette of the 30th ult,) a native of the Dossad caste, armed with a massive chopper, sharpened on both ides, and two knives, set out of his house with the intention of murdering his wife and his son-in-law, between whom, as alleged-by him, an improper intimacy existed. Not finding them ’where he expected they would be, he attacked his daughter, who happened first to come in his way. With stroke of the chopper he knocked her scalp clean off, so that the whole of her brain was visible. fshc immedi ately expired. In murdering her he is reported to have said that had she not bccu born, and had she not mar ried the man, his wife would not have been estranged from him. lie next attacked an old woman of the Dossad caste and dispatched her in a similar manner. Finding then his mother in the way he dealt a blow on her head and she fell down apparently dead. He stated to the police that he struck her because he wished to save her the grief which would overtake her on his meeting with his deserved punishment. She is in a very precarious state, and no hopes arc entertamed of her recov ery. He next attacked a woman of the Dhobi caste, inflicting a severe blow on her head. She is also in a very precarious state and not expected to survive. lie then attacked a young woman of the Kahar caste, whom he also seriously wounded on the head, her injuries consisting of several cuts. She is in a precarious condition. Af ter attacking seven other persons, all of whom he wounded more or less seriously, he was captured by an in spector of police. CUTLERY, STOVES and TIN-WARE.

Administrator. ruST A ycung lady of this city, dressing for her wedding, couldn’t find her favorite newspaper, and used her brother’s last clean shirt to accomplish the regulation hunched-upncss of her rear toilet. The young gentlemen wore a soiled shirt to the wedding and was furious when he found the use to which his starched and glistening garment had been put.—Indinapolis Htrald. An ambitious Nashville young man invested his surplus funds, a week or two ago, in a shirt which opened at the back. He wore the garment once and was happy—supremely happy. But all earthly bliss has an end. In due course" of time the garment passed into the hiuids of the old colored woman who does the family washing. 'Hiat eminently practical female wresflt?! with the new purchase, aud when it finally left her hands the back had been sewed up, the front cut o]>en, and buttons attached, in the good, old- fashioned style. She said she “didn’t want none o’ that new-fangled non sense ’bout her.” The young man has become the victim of a settled melan choly. True, he pursues his daily avocations, but hope, ambition and enterprise have fled from his breast and he no longer aspires to be a leader of fashion.
