the arrangement of these mounds, their builders were
probably part of the dispersed Toltec nation in Mexico

iit.-Uury <if A u,am \ h;ts fdruished a clue to the true
Jnowleuge of its builders, tie says : • After a luilt t s

j ■om this place, the expedition assumed a direct west

‘“e head waters ol theLoosa river, tvlicu thev advanced
.you the town of Gauxule, containing three hundred
tses, situated between several streams, which had
t ‘*r sources in the surrounding mountains. Gaining
much information aliout the country, from the Chief,
a, r four days sojourn, he marched to the town of CV
iiasauga, in now, Murray countv, Georgia.
A glance at the map ol Northern Georgia will at
once convince the reader that the fortification to which

thi ugh the Cherokee nation, and that, most probable,
it was by his outers constructed The object was, no
doubt, a means ol defence against the Indians, whom

gression, and for convenience to gan.e, which may have
be'u found in the immediate vicinity of the fortress,
for, nt the base of the precipice, along a gap through
the high mountain, may be seen the route of an old
Buffalo trail.
The grandeur and pie uresque aspects of the country,
that elevated region, must have been very gratifying

j hat he passed through or near a country abounding iu

The New English Premier.
George Hamilton Gordon, Karl of Aberdeen, Vis
count Pormantine, Lord lladdo, Methlie, Tarves, and
Kellie, in the peerage of Scotland, and Viscount Gordon
in that of the United Kingdom, has, as he truly re
marked in his statement to the House of holds on Mon
day evening, “arrived at the very verge of the period as
signed to human life.” The noble Karl was born on the
“-thof Jan., 1754. He has, consequently, nearly com
pleted his sixty-ninth year. He entered into jiffssession
of the family estates and honors on the dealt of his
grandfather, on the link ot Aug., lvl, when only sev
euteen years of age. Shortly after attaining his major
ity, in July fo’ .y lie tnatti <i Gath trine l.hzabe’h, citi
es’ surviving daughter ol ,i< h: Juu.es, first Marquis of
Abycoru My thislany , who died iu i-i“, he had only
one child, adaugh cr, who attained maturity. In June,
1814, he received the Kngllsh Viscountcy (Gordon) un
der which he lakes Itis seat in the House of Lords.—
The following year (in July, lsl’ . he entered into a se
cond matrimonial connection with Harriet, grand
daughter of James, fourth Karl of Morton, (by his
second marriage with Bridget, daughter of Sir John
Heathcote, Baronet, cf Norinunton, in the county of
Rutland,: and widow of Janies Viscount Hamilton, the
father ot the present Marquis of Abawm. This lady,
(by whom he had several children, was thus sister-in
law to his first wife, being ihe widow of her brother
His Lordship has three times held office as a cabinet
minister, twice as Secretary of Foreign Adairs, and
once for the colonics. He first came in as Foreign See
retarv under the Duke of W ellington, in Isas, and
continued until the defeat of that administration on the
civil list, in I*3". When Sir Robert Peel became Pre
mier, in Wl4, Lord Aberdeen took oliice as Colonial
Secretarv, from which he was speedily removed, that
- mniir-trv holding together only four months. On the
resumption yf power by the Pee! party in l s 4l, he was
again appointed Secretary of State for foreign Affairs,
in which office he continued until the formation of the
Russell administruifon in is-id. it is almost unnecessary
to observe that his foreign policy, dating his seven years
of othce, was very ditierent from that of his new col
league, the brilliant and energetic Lord Palmerston ;
and that when in opposition, he repeatedly complained
of matters in the department over w Inch lie had twice
presided. In the ifon Pacilioo debase, he spoke and
voted in condemnation of the policy of his successor in
office. On that occasion, at least, he worked hand and
heart with his predecessor, Lord Dei by, from whom,
indeed, lie rarely differed, except on the question that
has iinully been disjtosed of—i. e., of “free trade, or
“unrestricted competition.” Itis almost unnecessary
to add, that the censure which was then carried in the
Fords was shortly afterwards triumphantly reversed in
the House of Commons, where a glorious victory was
achieved ou Mr. Roebuck’s motion. The bat bed ar
row, therefore, fell pointless from ihe broad shield
against which it was hurled.
The noble earl adopted the policy of the l’eelite party
on the Ecclesiastical Titles bill—• policy which has
enabled a section, consisting of thirty-three persons, to
obta.n a full moiety of the loaves and tishes available at
the inauguration of anew administration. He will, on
tiiis point, therefore, have peculiar advantages iu deal
ing with the Irish party, and “ill unquestionably K
oeive fair plav at their hands. The appointment ot Mr.
Keogh, as Solicitor-General for Inland, will also, no
doubt ‘have a r erv beneficial effect in securing the ci -
operation of !hat party. It was, as we pointed out at
the time, a great error on the part of is ml John Kus
scli's government, that they disregarded the claims of
that learned gentleman to the situation to which he has
at length been appointed. On the other hamh l- 01 ”
Aberdeen supported ihe amendment or the Karl of
Edintou on the Diplomatic Relations with Rome bill,
the success of which neutralized the advantages antiei
ttated from that measure. .
The noble earl long filled the oflice ot 1 resident of
the Hocietv of Antiquaries—he was also Chancellor ot
the Unive'rsitv of Aberdeen, and Ranger of Greenwich

Strength to keep together the party whom he has con
trived, for the time being, to unite under his presidency
Benjamin Franklin.— George Bancroft, Esq., in a
recent lecture before the New York Historical Society,
pavs an eloquent tribute to the philosopher:
“Net the half of Franklin’s meiits have been fold.
He was the true father of the American l mom G ‘’ w as
he who w ent forth to lay the foundation of that gi eai
design in Albany; and in New \oi k he lifted up his
voice. Here among us he appeal ed as the apostle of the
Union. It was Franklin who suggested the Congress
of 1771, and but for his wisdom, and the confidence t mi
wisdom inspired, it is a matter of doubt whether tha
-Gongiess would have taken effect. It was !• ntnKliu wlO
suggested the bond of the Union which binds these
States from Florida to Maine, trauklin was the gtea.-
est diplomatist of the eighteenth century. lie never
spoke a word too scon ; he never spoke a word too fate ;
he never spoke a word Hxi much ; he never failed to speak
the right word at the right season. ’
The success of the Ericsson air ship has sugges
ted ihe quealiou t:s to what will !>e the effect of the gem -
rat adoption ot die new motor ti r all t ie purposes to
which steam is now cmjdoved on the cousiunptiou of
coaf. A correspondent oi'tlie Philadelphia Ledger takes
a tight view of the question, we think, when he says
that the undoubted efieet would be tha instead of ~up
plying a fauudred steamers, as now, wi.h sy one thou
sand tons of coal u day, we should be called to
furnish five thousand marine vessels, every thing tnat
floats, in tact, with the thousand ions a day. Besides,
the land would be coveted with caloric engines. ‘lhe
cbc.q e ed power would bitn .-h tmmi foil ai.d sere
drudgery, and lie applied to thousands of purjHnses
which can now be scarcely imagined. Asa general
principle, we may rely t>rt the fact .hat *he greater effi
c.eot service can be utotiucc by a ton of cod, the mote
tons will l,e required ; or, in o her words, ihe cheaper a
thing ia made, the more it will be used. —L<ut. .Inur.
