A HIGHLY INTERESTING DISCOVERY.
It has generally been admitted, (but not
proved) by antiquarians, and others, who have
examined the subject, that the Mammoth spe
cies became extinct, at a time when the world
generally was inhabited by a people, of which
the present,human fumily have no knowledge,
or that it inhabitated places then inaccessible
to man, and became extinct from some un
known cause, or was destroyed at the general
deluge.
The Indians have had a few daik traditions
of a large animal, which has been supposed to
lelate to the Mammoth, but more generally
have been considered fabulous.
It is with the greatest pleasure, the writer
of this article can state, from personal know!-;
edge, that one of the largest of these animals,
has actually been stoned and buried by In
dians, as appears from implements found a- j
mong the ashes, cinders, and half burned wood
and bones of the animal. The circumstances
are as follows:
A farmer in Gasconade county wished to
improve his spring, and in doing so, discover
ed, about five feet bene ith the surface, a part
of the back and hip bone. Os this I was in
formed, by Mr. Wash, and not doubting but
the whole, or nearly the whole skeleton might
be found, I went there, and found it had been
stated, also a knife made of stone. I immedi
a ely commencing opening a much larger
space; the first laver of earth was a vegetable
mould, then a blue clay, then sand and blue
clay. I found a larger quantity of pieces of
rocks, weighing from two to twenty five pounds
each, evidently thrown there with the intention
of hitting some object. It is necessary to re
mark, that not the least sign of rocks or gravel
is to be found nearer than from four to five
hundard yards, and that these pieces were
broken from larger rocks, and consequently
carried here for some express purpose. After
passing through these rocks, I came to a layer
of vegetable mould ; on the surface of this
was found the first blue bone, with this a spear,
and axe, the spear corresponds precisely with
our common Indian spear, the axe is different
from any l have seen. Also on this earth
was ashes nearly from 6 inches to one foot in
depth, intermixed with burned wood, and
burned bones, broken spears, axes, knives, Ac.
The file appeared to have been the largest on
the head and neck of the animal, as the ashes
and coals were much deeper here than in the
rest of the body ; the skull was quite perfect,
but so much burned, that it crumbled to dust;
on the least touch : two feet from this, was
found two teeth broken offfrom the jaw, but
mashed entirely to pieces. By putting them
together, showed the animal to have been much
larger than any heretofore discovered. It ap
peared by the situation of the skeleton, that the
animal had been sunk with its hind feet in the |
mud and water, and unable to extricate itself,,
had fallen on its right side, and in that situa-'
tion was found and killed as above described,
consequently the hind and fore foot on the
right side, were sunk deeper in the mud, and
thereby saved from the effects of the fire ;
therefore I was able to preserve the whole of
the hind foot all but some few small bones that
were too much decayed to be worth saving.
Also between the rocks that had sunk through
the ashes, was found large pieces of skin, that
appeared like fresh tanned sole leather, strong
ly impregnated with the ley from the ashes,
and a great many of the sinews and arteries j
were plain to be seen on the earth and rocks,
but in such a state as not to be moved, ex
cej ting one small piece, the size of a hand,
which is now preserved in spirits.
Should any doubts arise in the mind of the
reader, of the correctness of the above state
ment, h i can be referred to more than twenty
witnesses, who were present at the time of
digging.
FEMALE SOCIETY.
Ifthcrcisany particular recreation which
more than all others tend to preserve the moral
senses from pollution, the affection from going
into decay, to ‘raise the manners and improve
the heart,’ it is in the frequent intercourse with
sensible and well educated females. Ido not |
mean that these advantages are to be sought j
for or expected in the crowded ball room or
fashionable parties. These are too often the j
hot-beds where the rank weeds of dissipation
shoot up their deadly luxuriance, and wither
the seeds of virtue. It is rather in the ex-j
change of thought in the hours of social in-!
tercourse, that the influence of women de-i
lights, cheers and improves. Here there is
artificial excitement to lend a false glory to
her cheek, or a deceitful volubility to her'
tongue. I value far higher one hour passed
in the society of an intelligent accomplished fe- i
male, than all the giddy scenes of the theatre
or the ball room. I had rather stand in the
shadow of such a woman by moonlight, than
promenade Broadway with the most fashion
able belle in our city. N. Y Constellation.
CAUTION TO TAILORS.
At late Court in Philadelphia, an action was
brought to recover $202, with interest, for
clothing sold, and delivered by plaintiff to the
defendant. The plantiff offered in evidence
the book of original entries kept by his son. It
appeared that all the charges were made as
soon as the clothing was ordered, and before
it was cut out! The Judge rejected the book,
remarking that, “the Supreme Court had gone
so far as to admit entries made when the
cloths were cut out and handed to the journey
men, but had never, and ought not to go to the
length to admit charges made merely on the
receiving an order to make clothing.” On
this decision the plantiff was non-suited.

This article is still coming in briskly. Sales gener

We received but one slip last evening, by the
Express from which we learn, that the steamer Liver
pool, for the safety of which much anxiety w r as mani
fested, had arrived at New-York.
The said slip is from the office of the Herald, and
contains a number of articles, headed * Abolition,’ * U.
S. Exploring Expedition,’ ‘Foreign Correspondence,’
‘ From Albany,’ * The Canadas,’ * Money Market,’ &.c.
&c. but for the life of us we cannot make out but the
following items, which we give to our readers in lieu of
the news we expected from the North.

MACON:
The Roscius sails to day for Liverpool.
Every berth is engaged, and even cabins for
her next voyage are taken. On Saturday last
we walk of around and over her. During the
wholeof last week she was crowded with fash
ionable visiters, and on Saturday, the crowd
of beauty was as great as ever. Mr. Collins,
the agent, was on board, his face covered with
smiles, and his tongue eloquent with the sof
test compliments towards the fair ones as they
approached and advanced. I saw one, two,
three, four, five —oh ! dozens and dozeus of
most beautiful young ladies. In fact, my poor
nerves are not yet restored to tranquility.
The Roscius is the largest packet ship ever
launched in New-York. Her poop deck runs
fore and oft, and her cabins are the most airy
and comfortable we have seen. “ This one,”
said I, as I looked round us one of them “will
do for me and my wile when we set o t to en
joy the honey moon on the broad Atlantic.”
The triumph of steam seems only to add a
fresh impulse to the packet lines. Both flour
ish both succeed, for the number of voyageure
increase fasted than conveyances. There is
only one point in which the Dramatic line of
packets in deficient. More has been written
and published in the Herald about these ships,
than in any other paper in New \ r ork—and
accordingly, tomorrow or next day, we expect
Mr. Collins to call, and say to our clerk—
“ Francis what do you charge for yearly ad
vertising?” ‘-Thirty dollars a year.” “Very
well—advertise our line. I find a word in the
Herald is worth a column anywhere else. The
fact is the ladies wont go in any ship till they
know if the Herald recommends them.”
After this event takes place, Collins’ packet
lines w ill be complete —but it is very doubtful
if they can be jterfectly complete till tlien.
Mr. Holdship arrived yesterday from Cen
tral America in the Frances. He has been
there on bus'ness connected with the Canal
which is in contemplation, to unite the Atlan
tic with the Pacific Ocean by the Lake of
Niearaguc.
CHANGE OF WEATHER.
The weather changed on Saturday from a
moderate to an intence frost—probably a va
riation of 30 degrees in 10 hours. On Satur
day night, the sky was most brilliant —a few
light clouds spread over its deep blue surface,
the bright moon struggling round the horizon.
The Hudson river—the canals—all inland na -
vigation must now lie loosed. Last evening
the thermometer was 14 degrees.
Monroe Rail-Road.
The locomotive “ Ochmulgee” was started oit this
Road, by way of trial, on Thursday of last week, and
run up to Singer’s Hill and back, at the rate of twenty
one miles an hour. Our friend, the Doctor, of the
“ Telegraph,” who is a judge of such matters, says the
“ Ochmulgee is a handsome article, and works like a
top." For our part, we have not been able to get even
a squint at either the locomotive or cars since their ar
rival, but unless we are greatly mistaken, we may be
seen, next Monday morning, “ making a streak” to
ward the Depot Who’ll ride ? [See advertisement.]
New' Publications.
The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, of Nantucket—
Harper & Brothers, New-York.
Through the politeness of Mr. Ells, [at the new Book
Store,] we have been furnished with a copy of the above
work. We have not had sufficient leisure to give it
even a “ hasty perusal,” and shall, therefore, give the
remarks of the “Augusta Mirror,” (which appear to
be our “ sentiments”) in relation to the work, rather
than have it “ lie on the table” another week, unno
ticed. “ The author has developed a degree of inge
nuity and tact in the line of ‘ telling tough yarns,’ such
as is rarely met with in works of the kind. The book
professes to be a narrative, detailing the particulars of a
mutiny and massacre on board the American brig
Grampus, while on a whaling expedition to the south-
ern seas, which brig was subsequently re-captured by
the survivors, and finally wrecked among the islands of
the unexplored regions of the South'Pole. An air of
seriousness is ingeniously thrown around a narrative
of the most miraculous‘hair-breath’scapes, by flood
and field,’ which tends much to enhance the interest
of the work, and though we think nothing less than a
Jonah could have arrived safe on dry land, after such
a series of mishaps, yet we will not detract from the
entertainment the book affords by prouncing it a ‘whop
per.’ Those who would see O’Connell, and even Rob
inson Crusoe, completely outdone, can be gratified by
a perusal of Fynt’s narrative.”

we were not fortunate enough to find one already “cui

The above ‘standing head’ was inadvertently placed
over Mr. Oldershaw’s advertisement, on our fourth

nearly worked off. The reader will please expunge

Colonial History of Georgia.
The “Georgia Journal" informs us that a letter has
been received at the Executive Department, from the
Rev. C. VV. Howard, the State's Agent at London to
procure copies of the Records relating to the Colonial
History of Georgia, containing the information that he
had obtained permission to examine and transcribe the
records.
Green and Pulaski Monument.
We are heartily glad to learn that steps are about be
ing taken to erect a .Monument in memory of those
Patriots whose names head this notice. There is a pile
of marble, situated in the centre of what was formerly
called “Johnson's Square,” in Savannah, purpoting to
be a Monument, but to whom, (unless you are a resident)
one would have to enquire. It is a pity the Commis
sioners were not allowed to finish the work when it
was first commenced —they would have saved some
thousands of dollars. The completion of said Monu
ment —provided a good substanial iron railing is placed
round the entire square—will add two hundred percent,
to the beauty of our elder and lovely sister.
The “Georgian” has the following in relation to it:
GREENE AND PULASKI MONUMENT LOTTERY.
We un lerstand that the commissioners of
the General Pulaski Monument Lottery, under
an act of the last legislature, have entered into
«n arrangement with the well renowned lotte
ry managers, D. S. Gregory, A Cos, (succes
sors to Yates A Mclntyre,) by which they
will be enabled in a few years to erect a se
cond monument, which they have been pre
vented doing hitherto by the want of funds.
The bond given by I). S. Gregory A Cos. for
the payment of prices we are informed is am
pie and satisfactory, and in addition should the
sales warrant it, a lottery will occasionally be
drawn in this city.

A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, there is too much reason to be
lieve that citizens of the United States, in dis- ;
regartl of the solemn warning hertofore given
to them by the proclamat ons issued by the
Executive of the General Government, and by
some of the Governors of the States, have
combined to disturb the peace of the dominions i
of a neighboring and frisndly nation : And
whereas, information has been given to me.
derived from official and other sources, that
many citizens in different parts of the United
States are associated, or associating, for the
same purpose. And whereas, disturbances
have actually broken out anew in different parts
of the two Canadas: And whereas, a hostile
invasions has been made by citizens ot the
United States, in conjunction with Canadians
and others, who, after forcibly seizing upon
the property of their peaceful neighbor for the
purpose of effecting their unlawful designs,
are now in arms against the authorities of
Canada, in perfect disregard @f their own obli
gations as American citizens, and of the obli
gations of the Government of their country to
foreign nations:
Now, tl erefore, I have thought it necessary
and proper to issue this proclamation, calling
upon every citizen of the United States neither
to give countenance nor encouragement of
• any kind to those who have thus forfeited their
claim to the protection of their country ; upon
those misguided or deluded persons who are
engaged in them to abandon projects danger
ous to their own country, fatal to those whom
they- profess a desire to relieve, impracticable
of execution without foreign aid, which they
cannot rationally expect to obtain, and giving
rise to imputations (however unfounded) upon
the honor and good faith oftheir ow i Govern
ment ; upon every officer civil and military,
and upon every- citizen—by the veneration due
by all freemen to the laws which they assisted
to enact for their own government—by his;
regard for the honor and reputation of his
country—by his love of order and respect fir
that sacred code of laws by which national
intercourse is regulated—to use every effort
in his power to arrest for trial and punishment
every offender against tile laws providing for
the performance of our obligations to other
Powers of the world. And I hereby w irn all
those who have engaged in these criminal
enterprizes, if persisted in, that, whatever may
be the condition to which tliey may be re
duced, they must not expect the interference
of this Government in any form, on their be-,
half; but will be left, reproached by every
virtuous fellow-citizen, to be dealt with accor
ding to the pol’cy and justice of that Govern-j
ment whose dominions they have, in defiance
of the known wishes and efforts of their own
Government, and without the shadow of justi
fication or excuse, nefariously invaded.
Given under my hand, at the city of Washing
ton, the 21st day of November, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
thirty-eight, and the sixty-third of the Inde
pendence of the United States.

From the Red Lander, San Augustine Texas,
San Augustine, October 23r/, 1838.
As the communication which I addressed
to Gen. Douglass, after the buttle with the In
dians, has not reached you, and inasmuch as
there seems to be great anxiety amongst the
people to know the particulars ; I have thought
it best to address you this communication
giving you a general outline of the matter.
On the morning of the eleventh, about two o’-
clock I was awakened out of my bed, in Na
cogdoches, by a courier from the Indian \gcnt,
j Sims, dated at Lacy’s Fort, stating that the
evening before he had visited Bowles, the War
Chief of the Cherokees ; and, on reaching his
house found that his property was all packed,
up, and him, his men, women and children
just starting. I wrote a communication to
Bowles in very positive terms, demanding to
know the cause of the movement, and sent it
up by Goyens. About daylight another com
munication was received from Captain Jordan,
stating that all the houses in the neighborhood
of Big Mush another Cherokee Chief—had
been deserted the day before, and all the prop
erty carried ofF. This placed mein a critical
situation. If the Cherokees intended war, not
one moment was to be lost. I immediately
ordered Capt. Snively’s company of about
thirty men, to be in readiness to march at ten
o’clock,
I requested Captain Robert W. Smith to
collect as many men as he could, and march
at the same time. He, with a promptitude
which reflects great credit upon himself and
the men, collected twenty-three men. With
this force joined by twenty men under Maj.
Walttrs, and eight or ten who fell in company!
with me, we marched to the neighborhood of
Bowles, who wrote me that the reason of his j
removal was threats made by the Mexicans
and Indians against him. I received about tiit
same time, a letter from Big Mush, oftlie same I
character, stating also that the Mexicans and I
Indians were encamped in force near the
Kicknpoo Town. I immediately took up the
line of march for that place by way of Auglin’s
and Fort Houston.
On the day before my arrival at that place
Major Mabbit had been attacked by the In
dians and Maxicans, on bis march to Auglin’s
—had several men killed and wounded—and
killed (as I have since learned) five of the ene
my, only one (a Coslmtta Chief) having been
found upon the ground. On the 14th, I arrived
at Fort Houston, having been joined by Maj.
Mabbit, and several men having fallen in on
the way and at Fort Houston, my force amoun
ted to about two hundred men. I immediately
took up the line of march for the enemy’s
camp, by the way of the Abudacha village;
and about sun-down on the 15th arrived at the
Kickap. in Town. I here encamped for the
night. About ten o’clock the enemy attempt
ted to fire the woods arounn us, but failed.
During the night two of tneir spies were fired
u|)on by the sentinels, and one horse taken
from them ; and at break of day, next morn
ing, the 16th a spirited attack was three sides
of our camp. The enemy’s cavalry were
stationed on a hill out of gun shot, evidenth
with an intention of falling upon us if we at
temp cd a retreat.
Avery brisk fire was kept up on both sides j
for about fifteen minutes, when I ordered »
portion of the force to remain and protect the J
camp, and with the remainder charged the j
enemy, who precipitately fled, leaving eleven j
dead on the ground. They had, I have no
doubt, during the action, carried off a nurnbei |
of their dead, (which is their custom,) and all
their wounded. From the blood upon the
ground they must have suffered severely. The
charge was continued for about three quarters
of a mile, when 1 formed the force, and march
ed them hack to camp. The force of the
enemy 1 had no means of but it
must have been very considerable, as the
ground occupied by them was near half a mile
in length.
We had eleven men severely wounded—
none killed, and about twenty-five or thirty
horses so badly shot as to be entirely unfit foi
use. Amongst the enemy’s dead were found,
Caddos, Cooshatties, Boloxies, one Cherokee
and two Mexicans. They drooped on their
flight a number of guns, blankets, cloaks, &c.
It would he difficult to find language to do
justice to the officers and men ; —all fought
with a spirit and determination seldom equall
ed. The officers in the action were—Adj.
Gen. McLeod, Maj. Kaufman, Maj. Riley and
(Maj. Burton, volunteer aids-de-camp ; Majors
Walters and Mubbitt, Captains Box, Brad-
shaw. Snively, Smith, Williams, Durst, Sad

Farewell, young voyager, on life's drear sea,
Though far away 1 oft shall think of thee,
And bring to view the scenes of burled years
Fond memory (hall embalm with friendship's tears.
And oft mid sunlight hours and happy scenes,
When Hope undimmed presides o’er all my dreams.
Affection’s siar shall guide me to the spot
Where thou mayst be away, though ne’er forgot.
And if within thy breast one feeling burns
With trembling flame, and ever homeward turns,
Let its last ray. like beacon light afar.
Fall on my spirit's track to be my star.
And oft 'mid hours of anguish when alone,
And thou and other friends are from me tom —
I'll muse upon thy fate with sympathy,
And utter deep and holy prayer for thee.
And when temptations'sad and dreary come
O’r thy young heart, think of thy early home
And those dear one’s whose prayers for thee arise,
Like clouds of fragrant incense to the skies.
Oh ! then let all thy feelings flow to heaven.
Where humble penitence will be lorgiven ;
And thy lone heart howe'er oppressed with grief,
Shail find in that bright world a sweet relief.
Yet, oh! remember that thy little bark
Is freighted, with an intelectual smirk —
Compared with which the light of suns grow dim.
And stars shine out from heaven with dying gleam.
For ’tis the 'lumined brightness of the mind
That far exceeds all else, howe’er refined ;
Ev’n sun-beams plaving on the ocean wave,
Though beautiful, must soon sink in their grave.
And thus all else material must fade.
Like sickly flowers obscured by mountain shade ;
But that undying radiance of the soul
Lives on when ocean's waves shall cease to roll.
