EDWARD G. WILSON, C.C.
FRIEND OF THE FAMILY.
SAVANNAH, APRIL 13, 1850.
We call the attention of our readers
to Mr. Mitchell’s concert, to ba given at tho
Athenaeum on Wednesday night. Mr. M. is a
worthy gentleman and a good musician, and
ho offers to the public the performances of
several other gentlemen of fine musical tal
ent. We hope that the community will show
by their patronage that they appreciate his
efforts.
The Drama.
It ia almost useless for us to attempt a
critique on Miss Cushman’s acting, world re
nouned as she is, and seen, as she has been,
by almost all our readers: but as it is the
nature of mankind, and, as we take it, par
ticularly ot the ladies, to love to hear their
own praises spoken, we are fain to give Miss
C. those she so well deserves.
On Monday night, in tlie “ Stranger,” we
perceived that Miss Cushman had well
earned her reputation, but we also saw that
she was capable of great tragic power which
the meager plot and superficial nature of that
play did not permit her to exert. True it is
that it acts keenly on our feelings,but it wants
the depth of passion and development of the
darker side of human nature, which peculiar
ly suits tho acting of this lady, and which
she showed on Wednesday night in the char
acter of Lady Macbeth. In thispart she is in
comparable : her tall and majestic figure,
her haughty bearing, the tragic cast of her
features, the ease and grace of her action,
her deep and sonorous voice, combined with
her strong and perfect reading render her
peculiarly fitted to act that character. From
the very moment she entered, every word
and gesture betrayed the dark workings of
an ambitious and unscrupulous nature, and
the arguments, entreaties and taunts with
which she urges on Macbeth to the commis
sion of the dreadful deed, were given with
tremendous power.
In the last act, where, goaded by con
science, she, sleeping, recounts all tho partic
ulars of the murder, Miss Cushman’s acting
is so powerful that the spectator involuntari
ly recoils. In short, from the description
we have of Mrs. Siddons, this lady must ap
proach her nearer than any other since the
time of that great actress.
She was well supported by Mr. Couldock,
as Macbeth, and Messrs. Lovell, Karnes, <scc.
As regards the witches’ chorus, we say with
the fashionable novelists when they are un
able to describe a very affecting scene, “ we
draw a veil over a scene too harrowing for
human feelings.”
Tlie audience, which was a very large one,
appeared to be much pleased, and gave the
liveliest demonstrations of their gratification.
To-night is the last of Miss Cushman’s en
gagement and of the season, and we prophecy
a full house.
Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Val
ley, being the Smithsonian Contribution to
Knowledge, by E. G. Squier , A. M., and
E. 11. Davis, M. D.
This first and able contribution to knowl
edge, put forth in the elegant quarto, from
the Smithsonian Fund, under the auspices of
the Board appointed by Congress to carry
out the intention of the testator, James
Smithson, of England, is worthy of being
the initial work of the Institution established
under the name of the ‘* Smithsonian Insti
tute for the increase and diujfsion of knowl
edge among men.” The objects of the be
nevolent testator being to “ increase knowl
edge by the addition of new truths to the
existing stock, and the diffusion of knowl
edge, thus increased, among men.”
This embraces without restriction, knowl
edge of every kind and the means of carrying
out the wishes of the testator have fairly
been placed under the most favorable circum
stances to meet the this philanthro
pist.
The ancient Monuments of the United
States, with the remains of relics of then
arts, in ornaments or implements of stone or
metal are spread over the whole ot our
Northern Continent ; contained in the
mounds that every where cover the country,
which at tho greatest distance from eacli
other bear some mark of being the work ot
the same people.
In looking back into the obscurity of the
past for intelligence, we are always bound
by a limited point of time, beyond which
there remains nothing but the sagacity ot
human inference or the ingenuity ot human
conjecture to supply the cravings of curiosi
ty. The great merit of this book is, first, in
putting aside pre-existing errors regarding
the popular received theories of the aborigi
nes of North America, and then to fix the
evidence their labor and sagacity have produ
ced, rendering at least the little obtained
certain and no longer vague.
Tho conclusions drawn very fairly by tho
authors of this book, shew that they deserve
applause for their untinngzeal in the pursuit
of knowledge; and what is more rare still,
for the caution with which they have con
! stantly avoided all Hypothesis. Tho result
of an extended examination among the
mounds and remains ot all kinds appears to
i have satisfied their judgment that tho for
mer race inhabiting what now constitutes tlie
United States, and somewhat beyond its
boundaries north and south, was homogeneous
or of the same kind, in custom, habits, re
ligion, and government, from the evident
uniformity of a common system identical
everywhere as exhibited by the arrangement
’ in the mounds regarding all things. That
numeious and extensive as are the quantity
ot the mounds, placed in almost every do
giee ot latitude and longitude of North
America, the people appear to lmve been
stationary ; from their vast number, and this
fact being established, it necessarily follows
that they pursued agriculture only, and nor
hunting- the pursuit of the present race.
File mounds so numerous ancf of such
magnitude, some of them upward of two
bundled acies, must have required of them
selves a large population to raise them, which
could not have been fed but by agricultural
means.
The first European visitors found in North
America no population that could have been
capable, or that could have commanded the
means of subsistence to carry out such work.
While there is nothing to sustain alledged
accounts of the remains of a high civiliza
tion which from time to time reach us from
the fancilul conjectures of travellers and im
aginative writers, tho mound builders were
very far in advance of the race of Indians
found by Europeans at, and since the dis
covery of North America. In the sculp,
tures found in the mounds, the physiognomy
and hair differ from the present race; there
is no trace of the scalp lock so universal
among the latter race ; and the skill exhibi
ted in the sculptures found, of animals, hu
man heads, 6cc„ is far in advance of the
state of the arts among the Indians of our
day ; this is quite obvious from tho rudeness
of the urns or Indian vases, of modern
date, compared to the remains found in the
mounds at the depths agreeing with the sur
face of the natural soil.
In consequenco of former partial, super
ficial, and hasty excavations from time to
time, Crania, separate skulls, and other re
mains of th epresent race, have been taken,
and even sent abroad to men of science, re
ceived and passing, for a time, ns belonging
to the builders of tho mounds ; this error is
properly corrected by the work. In all ca
ses, except those named (of which plates
and a full account is given) where the exca
vation has been entire, the skeleton was
crumbled into fragments, although encased in
hard burnt clay.
An approximate idea may be formed of the
remote antiquity of mound builders by
a comparison with the Barrows of the an
cient Britons. In the latter, entire and well
preserved skeletons are found, of an un
doubted age, at least 1800 years. The earth
around the broken American skeletons, is
particularly dry and compact, and all sur
rounding things favorable for long preserva
tion, and yet they are decayed.
In considering tho sculptures of animals,
implements, Arc., it is found that neither the
living animal imitated, nor the stone or ma
terial from which they formed the image, is
indigenous to tlie soils where they are in
terred ; thus we have the sculpture of what
is variously called the Lamantin,or Manitus,
or Sea Cow of a low or tropical latitude, and
common to the sea-shore only, in tlie north
ern valley of the Mississippi. That the stone
used for this image’ is Obsidian, a volcanic
production, in a country destitute of volcanic
action, the nearest point where it is found
being Mexico.
There is native copper from lake Superior,
mica from the Alleghanies, shells from tlie
gulf, and obsidian from Moxico ; and there is
it made evident that barter or intercourse of
some sort prevailed with tho sea coast and
Southern tropical countries.
The metals, copper and a little silver were
worked in a cold state. They knew not how
to avail themselves of tlie hot fires suffi
ciently so to melt the metal, used to harden
the clay upon their altars at the base of the
mound. The veins of copper were worked
with stone hammers. Axes have been found
wrought of a single piece of native copper,
weighing upwards of two pounds each,
worked in a cold state. The copper was
procured from the shores of Lake Superior,
as recent investigation there sustains this
conclusion.
There is nothing life evidence to encour
age the belief that they had any idea of com
munication byj hieroglipliic or alphabetical
signs. There are some rude pictures cut
in tlie rocks, spoken of as being executed
with spirit; if there is any fidelity in the
wood prints given, they appear to be but
little in advance of the crude efforts of sim
ilar linear attempts among the present race.
Among the details is a description of urn
burial used at one period in some parts of
North America; which practice formerly
was so universal in the eastern hemisphere,
and among the few specimens found in the
United States, an urn is mentioned as hav
ing been dug up at St. Catharine Island, nnd
is in the possession of the Historical Society
of Savannah. Tlie practice of urn burial
was more common to the Southern States,
and no where existed in tlie valley of the
Ohio. Whether this in chronology is con
temporaneous with the era of the mound
builders cannot be known.
The vase from St. Catharine near us, is
of coarse material aud rude workmanship,
from eighteen to twenty inches in height.—
In North Carolina on the Wateree, ranges of
vases filled with human remains have been
found. The contents of these vases most
generally, but not always, are burned.
Thus have we a foundation more solid
than heretofore, to pursue more extended
investigations and observations, founded on
them regarding the extinct race, “whose
name is lost to tradition itself, and whose
very existence is left to the sole and silent at
testation of the rude but often imposing
monuments which throng the valleys of the
West.” <!
An Unbidden Guest. — Wo Lad an
odd circumstance happen to us on
Wednesday. Just as we were be
ginning our breakfast, a well-dress
ed woman, in a silk gown and muff,
entered the room. “I am come to
take a little breakfast,” said she.
Down she laid her muff, took a
chair, and sat down by the fire.
We thought she was mad, but she
looked so stupid that we soon found
out that was not the case. Sure
enough, breakfast she did. I was
obliged once to go down and laugh.
My mother and Edith behaved very
well, but Margery could not come
into the room. When the good lady
had done, she rose, and asked what
she had to pay ?
“Nothing, ma’am,’’said my moth
er.
“Nothing ! Why, how is this ?
“I don’t know how it is,” said my
mother, and smiled, “but so it is.”
“VY hat, -don’t you keep a public
house ?”
“No, indeed, ma’am so we had
hall-a-hundred apologies, and the
seivant had a shilling. We had a
good morning’s laugh for ourselves,
and a good story for our friends, and
she had a very good breakfast.—
