AFFAIRS IN CUBA. Our Havana Correspondence. Havana, November 14, 1853. | Mor about the Africay ization Scheme—Reported | Riot at Baracoa—The “Voice of the People”— | Further Arrests— Markets. The HeRALD was correct in denying the report from Washington relative to the alleged treaty be- tween Great Britain and Spain to “Africanize thi* island.” It is a positive untruth, if those best calcu- | lated to have a knowledge of such an event are to be believed. There is a report in circulation that there bas been | a disturbance, caused by an attack of the country people at Baracoa, in the eastern part of this islaod. | Another version of the affair gives it as a mere want of comfidence on the part of the Captain General to- wards certain officials, who have been removed. We shall know which of these two statements is the more | correct very shortly. The fourth number of the Voice of the People has | made its appearance, and there have been a large | number of persons of respectability, males and fe- | males, arrested in consequeuce. This city is healthy, and the climate at this season of the year delightful | in the extreme; whilst in New York, in all proba- | bility, you have cold and cheerless weather, here the | sun sbines delightfuly,and@ as the Prince in Ciader- | ella says or sings : + Yea, morning its -weets are flinging: And the very spirit of beauty seems To dve lin tee sunny air.” There is very little news here to interest the gene- | ral reader. Jor the interest of the commercial read- | ers of the Hixson, | transcribe tha chief portions of | the news in the latest Price Current:— Svaans, being «hiefly in second hands, still main- tained the last quotati: Assorted descriptions are at Ojr. a 7r. to 64r. a 7hr, for inferior to fine; and 6hr. a Sr. to 7x a Yr. tor superior to tloretes.

GraurErio. | | Havana, Noy. 14, 1853, Slaves Landing at Zarza—The Apprenticesh p System—Its Morality and Philanthropy. We have advice of another landing of slaves near or within the river Zarza, of a small cargo said to be consigned to Antonio Bovell. The details are not given, but the cargo is represented to be 280 head, and admitted without any hindrance on the part of the public authorities; the small obstructions of course being emoothed over by that universal charm for Spanish conscience, and which is not without its attractions for your shipbuilders, who have con- tinually in hand orders for the construction of vessels suitable to the trade, which are always built and de- livered. A rush will be made to getin as many 37 Year negro s a- possible, althongh the British agents here and in the United States aff-ct not to know of any intention to apply the British policy of appren- ticeship to Cuba, for which they have been minis- tering w.th all the information they could acquire for year, The English Minister at Washington nay inno- | ceutly ark questions, sod a British Consul General may reply with néyatives, but the affirmative of Baitish dictation is olready made, aud the deveption of the power chiefly converned cannot be longer costinued, although, in disregard of bad faith, the United States may choose to endure the neighbor- | hood of a great evil, in the consciousness of a power more vast in her unsullied in «grity—her anrivailed industry—world supp!yivg agriculture, and exhaust- less fields of commercial euterprize, than the com- bined influence and power of England, France and Spain cae disturb or divert trom its onward march for the advantage of civilization and the freedom of man Although this reserve may obtain, yet we have seme hepe that it may not be soon tue part of the United States, fir the csuse of humanity, which will be prejudiced by such inertness. To an intimation that [have encountered somewhere in my recent reading, that it would be strange to see the United States arrayed against a proposition for freedom to | the children of Africa, &c., by objecting to the adop- tion for Cuba of the plan laid down by British di- plcmats, there is but one reply to make—that the Scheme proposed is impracticable, and by no possi- bility can be made to attain the objec; desired, but | must inevitably increase the existing evil under the | new devomivaiion, which is only given for conceal- | confusion of texts or codes. Our private letters do not give very pleasant pictures of the condition of the , and there is appearance of weakness in the power of Santa Anna, that will be proven on the first trial of its strength. The discussion of the conventional provisions for the payment of Spanish creditors has led to serious misunderstanding between the government and the Spanish Minister, the Marquis of | difficult of adjustment, as well as the “ convention,” which is the cause. Our vessels of war that were ia this harbor on the 9th, received sailing orders the day following for Vera Cruz on this account, and their presence may have a pleasant tective ia- flveace upon the future discussion of these inconve- nient and naughty money questions. The pros; tive policy for Cuba continues to be viewed with disgust by all, save the few who expect to realize large fortunes by the new invextion for interminable | slavery, and the application may excite serious dis- turbance in our community, notwithstanding the impression of the three powers that will enforce it. We are looking for our new Consul to arrive b: the steamer to-day from New Orleans, and the ac ing incumbent, who bas pacicernesl the duties ina way most acceptable to his countrymen and to the government here, without ever yielding a point that might shadow the dignity of bis country, will be d with with deep regret, although we have no oubt of the capabilities of Judge Clayton, and that | he will make a good Consul when he shall have ob- tained knowledge of the peculiar character of this people, of their language, and the routine of official luties. The general health ef Cuba throughout could not be better, and on many of the estates the tabor of sugar making has already commenced this year earlier than usual, where practicable, for the reason of diminished force for taking the crop. We perceive thit the British coal yards here are receiving a supply for the consumption of some | P! years it would seem, unless a large steam marine is contemplated for these waters; at St. Thomas we have advices also of large receipts of coal, for which they ere compelled to provide adaitivaal depots. it looks strange at a time when the article and its carriage are at inordinately high rates.

[from the Ch irirston standard, Nov. 28.} Looking more earefully over our files of Havava papers, we find in the Drarto de la Marina of toe 20th, a column anda half on the reception of Mr. Soule at Madrid, which possesses some interest, as an exponent of the Spanish Cuban seatiment on the subject. The editor takes credit to himself for having sorrectly anticipated the course that our representa- tive would pursue; be tainks that, though the con- duct and opinions of that gentleman, during the filli- buster excitemeut, were not such as to meet with his approbstion, sti wou'd be inconsistent with the dignity of the Spavish nation to pesca too mi- nutely the antecedents of every individual who might appear among them ina diploma‘ic capacity; and that a government whico within a few years pasthas so successfully purished two insults offered to its | majesty by the representatives of powerful neigh- bors, might well repose upon its ability to repel a third atiempt at improper interference with its in- ternal economy. expectations will be considerably modified by the intluences of the- diplomatic circle of a great court, and that opinions formed and exvressed amid the applause of popular assemblies will undergo a ma- terial change when reconsidered in the privacy of his cabinet, and recommends him to enjoy, in peace, the honors of his po-ition, content to advance the in- terests of his country within the circle of “ possible, legitimate, and honorable negotiation.” He con: cludes by pronouncisg Mr.Soule’s consent to modify the language of his address, (for tae news of the actual presentation had not as yet reached the Ha: yana,) a‘ moral victory,” the more to be esteemed as it was obtained without an embittering dispu- tation. A large space is given to a description of the ceremon’es on the double cccasioa of laying the corner stone of the new statue of the Queen, and inaugurating the telegraphic line te Batabarro, about forty miles distant op the south side, being the first on the isiand. Various eens and anwers were passed and printed by House's apparatus, much to the wonderment and edification of the natives, and occasioned a neat litUe speech from the Captain- General, felicitating the islend in general, and him- self in particular, that the event had occurred during his administr with a good police, the telegraph is a formida' sistance to the war department; the government of Cuba, however, will hardly derive mu:h advantage from it ia this pune of view, should a vigorous insurrection break out; a montero or two, armed with bamboo poles couid quickly destroy all com- munication. Tbe new statue of her Majesty is to be placed in the Pleza Isabel, not fur from the old one, which was | | erected by the Count of Casa Brunet, and represent- | across the field tuward the woods which lie between ed the Queen in her childhood, but was uaworthy of its msgn’ficent positian, both on account of its in- significent size and its waatof artistic merit. In the aliernoon a grand review took place, the Captain- General making his appearance at five o'clock, with a brilliant staff; after reviewing the line, extending from the oceau to the Tac n, he witnetsed the de- filling from a point near the Ponta. Without ex- pressing any opition with regard to Isabella or her patron saint, we must be allowed to envy those who were present at this spectacle. fhe entire Alameda ce Isabel, lined with troops of every arm and un'- forms of every variety of colors, the stately palma waving above their heads, the immense throng of gazers on in every peculiarity of costume, the bril- hiant staff of the generalissino, caracolling down the lise amid the roll of ¢rums aud blasts of trampete, added to the beauties of Cuban nature, the luxariant vegetation, fresh from the summer's rains, that liquid tropical sky, and the king of day, rapidly de- scending to the Gulf Stream, with a splendor unknown in Northern climes, must have composed a scere, whose gorgeousness can be known to the eye, but never to the ear. Tne festivities of the day were concluded with an illumination of the Plaza de Armas and the performance at the Tacon of the “Wheel of Fortune,” by Rubi, of Malaga, better known to us as the author of “ Issbella la Oatolica,” Mitilda Diaz, of course, was the great attraction. € ere srry to learn by the public pri private inteiligence, that her continued indisposi- tion has somewhat impaired ner powers. We recol- lect ber when at the flood tide of her fame aad popularity, she would sweep away the andience of the Principe at Mavrid, as though it had been one man overwhelmed by her magic eloquence; and never, ther before or since, have we had 809 vivid an appreciation of the dignity ard grandeur of the went of the real objects embraced in the far reaching plan. Perhaps 1 have dweit too much upon this | subject, but I have no disposition that the truth shall | be concealed from the real philanthropists, who have the associated questions so much at beart that tiey may accept of a shadow for the reality, in mo:kery of their long years of thought, lunor, and means ex- | penéed for the fruition of almost divine benevolence. \ a wee | Havana, Nov. 14, 1353. | Arrival of the Avon from Vera Cruz—Distin- | guished Visiters—Cuban Travellers in Mexico— | Their Treatment—Santa Anna and the Bandits —His Spunish Creditors—The American Snilors mm the Havana Prison. The British steamer Avon arrived on the ‘th inst., from Tampico and Vera Craz, bringing a goodly freight of specie, upwards of $1,500,000, and some thirty-six passengers, among them of distinction, the lady of the Spavish minister resident at Mexico, the Marquis of Rivera, Mrs. Paley and Miss Harvey, of London; the firet invited to the private residence of his Excellency, Don Manuel Pastor, and the two lat- ter are occupying apartments at the very luxurious establishment of Mrs. Brewer, the Hot#l Cubano, where they have received the most courtegns aud kindly attention from Geserai Cauedo and his staff, with welcome greetings of all the upper raaks of our most aristocratic elegance and fashion. The news by this steamer contirms the tranquility of the whole country, etn Yucatan, where General Vega has won laurels and a step in military rank, by the skill with which he has accomplished the root and subjugation of the forces of the disaf fected, and the military display of executions that were not called for, in particular cases, for the con- tirmation of bis victory or tor the preservation of peace in the future. The morals of the people who live in the monntain villages, and infest the roads for the purpose of dis- encumbering priests of their revenues, aad such tra- vellers as have the temerity to travel with money upon their persons, have not yet met with improve ment, although some have been hung.

One of the most, if not the very most, extraordi- nary and tragical trials terminated in this place to- | day that ever occurred in this State—a trial for murder. George Washington Carawan was ar- | raigned at the barof jhe Superior Court of Beaufort county, on the 23d ivst., for the murder, by shoot- ing, of Lassiter, in Hyde county, in November, 1852. He removed the trial, on oath, from that county to this, on the ground that justice could not be done pee | him there, the prejudice and excitement of the | people were so great. Carawan was a Baptist preacher, of the sect called here ironsides, hard shells, steel jackets, &c. Lassiter was a school- master. Jealousy was the groundwork, or rather the plea, on the part of Carawan, though he could not substantiate it any way. The proof was circum- | stantial; but such a chain of circumstances as per | hapswas never made appear before in any case tried in this country. Upwesrds of i Raleraeares most of whom’ testified, occupyed four days in the examination and three days in argument before the jury, who returned a verdiet of guilty this morning, after being out all night, and a second charge | during the night from the Judge. Immediately the verdict of guilty was pronounced, the prisoner at the bar eecretly drew a pistol and shot at one of the counsel for the State, the ball passing through his | clothes to the skin, but di@ no serious damage. He | instantly, or before his arm could be caught, drew | a second pistol, put it to his head and blew his | own brains out, and expired in a few moments, resuming, no doubt, he had killed Mr. Warren, as it was a rifle barrel pistcl, well loaded. Some | supposed his aim was at the State Attorney, Mr. G. 8. Stevenson, others that he aimed at Mr. Warren—they were standing side by side. No doubt you will soon bave a more full account of this ex- traordivary affair. It has created great excitement here and in the county where the 1urder was com- niitted. Lassiter was waylaid en the road, shot, and | then removed some quarter of a mile or more, buried in a thicket, where no person ever thought of going; was searched for fer a number of days; found by the appearance ofa littie newly dug up earth; recog- nized; coroner's jury called; suspicioa immediately fellov Carawan, (who abe conded; went to Tennessee, advertised by the Governor; not taken; returned yolontarily;) then taken up, and the above trial aud termination followed. Carawan was @ man of con- siderable property; employei the best counsel in this section of the State James W. Bryan, of New- bern, Wm. B. Rodman, R. 8. Donnell, B.S Satter- thwaite, of this place. For the State, G.S. Steven- | son, State Attorney, J. W. Warren and David | Carter, assistant counsel. The body of Carawan is | now Isying in the Court House. The court adjourned | immediately. So ends this tragical affair. The | pistols were new, and as yet no clue can be had to | the manner in which he got them. Some suppose, | ry is very likely the caze, his wife procured | them. NEWSPAPER ACCOUNT: TRIAL OF A BAPTIST MINISTER FOR MURDER—VER- DICT OF GUILTY—ATTEMPT TO KILL TILE PROSECU~ TING ATTORNEY, AND SUICIDE OF TOE MURDERER. | The North State Whig of the 30th ult., pudlished at Wilmington, North Carolina, publishes a con- densed report of the trial of the Rev. George W. Car- | awan, for the murder of Mr. C. B. Lassiter, a school | teacher, in Hyde county. The whole case is remark- | able, on account of the status of the accused, the de- ravity developed, and the tragical issue of the trial. | Eminent counsel were arrayed for doth the progecu- tion and the defence, and much excitement prevailed during the proceedings. The paper before us gives | the fcllowing particulars:— | Carawan is 56 years old, and for many years has been a popular preacher in the Baptist church—a man of &trong will, exercising a powerfal influence over his friends, ard feared a8 much as hated by his foes. Lassiter was a quiet young man, engaged in the business of teaching. Some months betore the murder Lassiter boarded in the house of Cara wan, and 2 quarrel arose between them, Carawan allegiog that Lassiter was too familiar with his (C.'s) wife. Carawan talked very freely among his neighbors on the subject—ssid that L ought to be shot—taat shooting was too good for him, and that he and L. could not both live in the same neighborhood, &c., &c., and final'y wied to get out a peace warract against L., alleging that oe had attempted to take He wet on this way for rome time, when ble as- 1. sued bim fer slander, laying the damages at $2 000. A few hours afier the writ was served on C., Lassi- ter was killed. | _ He bad finished a school on Rove Bay, and on | Mondag, the 15th of November, 1352, started on foot, with a carpet bag ix his band to go tothe Lake where | | be had engaged avother school. About three o’clock | | P. M_he passed C.’s bouse on his way t» the Lake. Shortly afcer he passed, C. left his house, and went the howe snd the spot on the road where L. was kided, his wife following with a gon wrapped up in ber apron. She retarned to the house immeiiately; | Carawan not till sundown. That night he was absent from heme. | ‘Tuesday he 1¢mained at home; but on Weimer | arainy éay, he took a hoe and went ia‘o the woods, | aud was gone several hours. On Thursday, before L. | was missed, (the people on the Lake thinkiug he was | at the Bay, and the people on tbe Bay thinking he | was st the Luke,) C. weat tu one of the neighbors, | and inquired if he bad seen anything of L, stating | that his (C.’s) femily had seen him pass his house on | Monday with a package of clothes,and he was thiak- | ing be had run away. On Friday eveniog, when told that the people were searching for J, , he expressed | great surp that he should be missing—never had | heard anytbing of it, On Saterday morning, the search for L. still going | on, Le wrote to a friend to come and ses him—that L. was mi-siog—supposed to be killed—and added that he (0.) was at hume all day Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and that he could prove it by Cara- wan Sawyer, (the main witness en the trial for the Stte,) bis Si geal boy who was living with him. The body of L. was founé on Saturday evening in the swemps behind C.’s bouse, in an o:en lot which | was surrounded with briars, underbush, &c., aad covered with moses. The moss over the grave had pare dug just lar, | enough tohold the boéy, the body pressed into it, the grave filled up even with the surrounding earth and pressed down, and the moss carefully laid back upon it. The moss leaying ne trace of a foot priat, there was no sign that anybody bad ever seen there, except that the moss cover the grave had faded a little; about a hand full of frean dirt was near it, | and a dead limb of a tree had apparentiy been re- cently disturbed, the bark which had evidently jast fallen frem it lying in one spot and the lixb in an- other. The mer who were searching for the body had stopped in this lonely spot to rest, paving given up | the sesrch for the day, when these ap earances at- tracted theira‘tention, aud the body was found. L. was killed by guushot wounds. Several shots were taken from the body, three from the heart. There were three sizes of shot found in the body, and iu one of the barrels of C.’e gun, found in his house, ju-t such shot, and of three sizes, were found. That night C. left Hyde county, tel.ing his nephew, (Saw- er.) that if he staid there he should be bung; that e should send for his family, and he (S.) must go with them. On Sunday morning he landed from a cance at Durbam’s Creek mills, in Beaufort county, about thirty miles from his home, telling the man who rowed him over that he was after a piece of land whicb another man ®as trying to buy, and that was the reason of bis hurry, and chargiog him to keep bis wovements a secret. Frem this time till his arrest at ae in his house, in January following, the S:ate did not show his wheresbvuts. But from letters received by the sheriff of Hyde, from Tewnessee, it seems ne had been in that State, preaching under the assumed name of Jobn Foroes. After nis imprisonment in Hyde county jail, he tric&to get a friend to hire the witness Sawyer to go away. He had offered this same witness, before the body of L. was found,a vegro,if he would swear tLat he (C.) was at home all Monday, the day on which the murder was committed. And while in Oy de jail he wrote to a friend, (tre letters were pro- éuced in Court,) to get Sawyer out of the way. He had given, be said, in one of hia letters, Mary (his wife) $500 to get Sawyer off; if that wouldn't do, give him $1,000; and if that would’nt do, he (his friend) must get rid of Sawyer “by hook or by crook,’ ard not suffer bis (C ’s) neek to be broke. The defence set up for the prisoner was, that three of the witnesses (including Sawyer) had sworn false- ly, committed wilfel and deliberate perjary, and.that it was impossible for Carawan to have gone throngh the woods after Lassiter passed his house quick enough to have cut bim «ff. The jury, after a protracted sitting, brought in a verdict of guilty, and the judge ordered a recess of the court for an hour. As the crowd was leaving, the prisoner suddenly drew two pistols, one of whic! red at Mr. Warren, the counsel for the State, and with the other shot himself through the head, killiog himself instantly. The ball of the other struck Mr. Warren on the breast, just above the heart, but i tae fl glanced off and left only a slight wonod. The North State Whig says :— *Carawap maintained his self control throughout | the trial, He was as fine a looking man as one | wonld find among a thousard—tall, admirably built, with a massive head, showing, with enormous animal passions, large intellect. These passions have de- strayed him ‘he baving given himeelf all his life to their unbridled sway. His wife, apparently about his cwn age, and bis children, having Been ith him during the trial, accompanying him to and from the court house and jail.’ A report that the wife of Professor Batler, who was murdered at Louisville by one of the Wards, had died of grief has obtained currency. It is con- tredicted. She is overwhelmea her loss, and ‘bas been at times delirious, but still guffers on. South America. THE MILITARY OCCUPATION OF AURAUCO. From the Valoarai-o Heralé Oct. 15] One of the most interesting subjects on the ‘apis just now, is the proposed military occupation of Aurauco, urauco is a Bring of Chile, situated on the south of the Biobio river, and extending from thence to the Valdivia, embracing the territory from lat. 36 44 to 89 50, and from the Pacific to the Andes, say upwards of 30,000 square miles. Those who have the speak of it in the highest agri district they say it is without parallel in Coile—the grazing province of the republic—abundantly watered by the multitadi- nous streams which flow over the golden sands—rich in coal fields—covered with flocks of cattle—and inbabited by a brave, warlike, but savage race ; the men are most expert horsemen, skilled in the use of the lanve,and in throwing a peculiar weapon consist- ing of long thongs of hide, loaded with balls of lead ‘at one extremity, which have the effect to entangle what they strike, aud prevent its escape until other weapons are brought to bear upon it ; in this way cattle are caught and thrown to the ground, and in battle they cast them round the feet of their adver- saries’ horses, cripple them or embarrass their move- ments ; at the same time they ride with only one hand aud foot enue upon the back of the horse when making a charge—but they are ignorant of the use of gunpowder. This rich country is of little use to the civilized portion ot Chile, and a motion has been made in the Chambers of Congress to occupy this beautiful coun- try by miitary force, and if necessary remove the Auraucans to some other place, so that the fine fields may be brought under cultivation, and the rich veins of precious minerals thrown open to the miner. The friends of the proposition urge the measure on the grounds that its success will result in a great in- crease of wealth to the nation, and that it can be easily accomplished; that-recent travellers have de- clared the avuilable lances of the whole province not to exceed five thousand, and that thirty thousand sou!s is the utmost limit of the population, and con- sequently not more than three or four thousand well | armed Chilians would be required for the conquest. | At the some time ge aka that it is no war of extirpation; that though they would conquer, they world not kill the Anraucans, butremovethemto | some other point of the republic; that, in fact, it would be a war of mercy. since experience hasshown | that the savage state is least adapted to long life— | the savages ki!l one another, and believe that all who are killed die on account of some sins committed previously. Jn short, they would civilize them. In addition to all this, they plead right—the right of sovereignty—that the Indiaris have always recogn'zed the sovereignty of the king of Spain, and that Chile | row enjoys the same rights as be did; that Chile now exercises that sovereignty, in that many of the Caciques now receive salaries from government and obey certain regulations, consequently the govern- | ment has the right to occupy the uncultivated or | waste lands, which is all they propose to do. On the other band, there are not wanting men who oppose the measure with strong hands, They. say that it al Sreaap tending to exterminate the Auraucans; tbat it is carrying civilization at the intof the sword; that the treaties of Qaillin and egrete, repeatedly confirmed, forbid it; that these treaties, which have never been anid upon by Mesa should not be broken by the Christian | pation. | Again, it is urged that the Indians have fought | side by side with the troops, and under command of Chilian generals. And further, has Chile a redundant population? On the contrary, is it not true that not a single pro- vince has a population equal to her territory? Is it not true that the Auraucanian is the natural owner of the soil? and are not sales of lands by the Indians recognized as valid? The North Americans dis- pee their conquests under the name of avnexation; ut the proposer of this measure, at a single gulp, would confiscate the territory of Anrauco, And yet again, it is urged that Aurauco will prove no easy conquest, and the writer adviies the Sena- tors to recollect the case of the famous Portuguese General, who, after having fought many battles in Europe, looked with supreme contempt upon cer- tain enemies who had ne‘ther swords. uniforms, nor cannon; and, being unfortunately killed in the com- mencement ef the action, never had an opportunity of changing bis opinion. And, finally, it is urged that, withcut a dollar of expense, or a drop of blood, the whole province can be civilized by settling German colonies about the borders, when, in fifty years the Auraucans will be civilized by contact; that thoze living near the bor- ders are already becoming so, and are vastly differ- et jrom those living far in the interior, who have little or no intercourse with the Chilians. But, whatever theorists may say for or preject, there is no doubt of the wishes of the people of Concepcion. A correspondent from Concepcion writes as follows :— “Che news of the project for the reduction of Avranco spreadthrough tie country like wiid fire. It is incredible the enthusiasm caused by the idea of ncorporati»¢ this country with our civilized pro- vince. All wish to be in motion, and to join inalt the plars for the redaction. I have mentioned in a previous letter that this question presents lf to us.in the South as one most easily real . from our knowledge of the Indian mode of warfare. as cur people have frequent and ¢ictorious skirmishes with them. « You people m the North believe thatthe Auran- can3 sre berces, that their bravery is indomitable &e., but they are much mistsken who thiak 89. They reta’n no longer their primisive ferocity; they are civilized in comparison with the times of the conquest, and their valor, which sprang from no other caure than instinctive barbarity aud cruelty, has degenerated to pusillanimity. Occasionally stall parties ct Christians pass through their country, whenever they wish, at the sight of wnom the In- dians run away like thieves before the judge; indeed, wherever they see Christians, they imagine that they are about to punish them for their thefts. “They are also informed of this project, and some say that’ they have called a council on the subject, while others declare that although they are aware of the agitation of the subject, yet they remain absorb- ed in their accustomed indolence.” ) | | ‘ainst the Archrecological. OPENING ANOTHER MOUND AT GRAVE CRERK, VIR- GINIA— INTERESTING DEVELOYE MENTS. [From the Wheeling Intelligencer, Nov. 26. We bave heard and read considerable, and have seen sometbing of the Indian Mounds along tue Ohio and Mississippi vallies, We were at one time familiar with the so calied “Mammoth Mound” at}Graye Creek and all the contents, and we bave no more doubt that when the mound was dug into, human skeletons, emblems and inscriptions were found, and that a race of beings who lived long anterior to uy racé of Indians of which we have any authentic history, or even a plausible tradition, buricd some of their dead —perbaps some of the illustrious ones of their race— in this mound, than we have that;George Washington was buried at Mount Vernon, or that thousands of the inbabitants of Wheeling were buried in the old East Wheeling grave yard, whose bones we saw du up in wagon loads, and over whose dust we tread almost daily.. Neither have we any doubt that a small flat stone bearing unknown characters, about which there bas been considerable wrangling, was found in that mound, for we saw it years ago, and have seen it quite recently and were personally fa- miliar with the investigations which led to the first ublication descriptive of the mound and its contents. ‘hat any one should dispute these facts, or write long essays, burthened with a show of learning and scientific research, as some have done, to prove that the persons who opened this mound wnd gave the results to the world, practised an imposition on the public, shows either great ignorance or great reck- .eseness, Apropos: We copied the other day from the Grave Creek paper, rather a face:ions description of rather a ridiculous attempt to dig into anutherand uaopen- ed mound at Grave Creek. We knew nothing of the transaction, farther than one of the party, our edito rial friend of Grave Creek, humorous! i, stated. We suppose bis article was substantially true, and for that reason published it, with some comments of our own. At least, the incident as related of one of the party who went from this city, and attempted to take the lead in the whole matter, pitching hoadlong into the mound without system, or any computatioa of the work before him, attempting to do it all hin- self in a few hours, was so characteristic, that we have no doubt it was perfectly true, however ridicu- lous it appeared. We have now learned that Dr. W. De Hass, by whom the explorations of this mound have been, and still are carried on, bas succeeded, after man: days’ hard work with several stout hands, in reaching the centre, and developing the character of its construc- tion and nature of its eontents. We have been fa- vyored with a sketh of bis retearches, and have now before us some of the articles found in the mound, a we give the result, thas far, as concisely a3 pos- sible. The mound in which these explorations have been carried on, is the second in size of the Grave Creek group, and is distant in a northeast direction, about oxe mnile from the Mammoth Mound. It is about thirteen feet in height, and two hundred and forty feet in circumference. i In openiog this tumulus,a drift was carried in from the southern side to the distance of about twelve feet. On examinution it was found that stone could be traced beneath, and accordingly the excavation was borne down s0 a8 to approach it. The stone work proved to have heen @ vault extending sone fifteen or sixteen fect in ita greatest diametor, aud sinking to the depth of six feet in its centre. It had been constructed by sinking a cist six feet in depth, in a slight natural eminence, then rouud- ing the siaes up regularly, and the whole with stone, fist, wover, ha deposited the ashes of their victims or friends, whichever the caso may have . Many of the stnes were of large sas, end all bavo boon brought once neces hills and creek They were fo firmly held in as to require much fabor to remove them. Fiey oprett to bare been, placed on their edges, tal vitte hiege os Seren foe of the centre, where they are { ving Ou remo: ing the stone, a stratum of ashea—sup- poet to be human—varying from one to four inches thickness, was discovered. Specimens of these we have now before us, and the action of acid clearly indicates the presence of lime. But this is not all; particles of bone and charcoal are found intermi: led with the ashes. Beneath the ashes was formed first a stratum of light brown clay, ard then a similar de- posite of sand. The most singular and interesting feature of the mound was the centre. Immediately beneath the ashes and at the depth of eighteen feet trom the summit of the mound, was discovered ntleman conducting the examination beli¢ves to ave been the altar. Covering a space of about three feet, directly in the centre, was found, as already stfted, several ed of large flat stone. Lifting these, appeared ey ee of ashes, which, on removal, revealed a well formed, compact body of white clay, some four inches in thickness, eighteen inches in breadth, and two feet in length. This was found, on careful examination, to rest upon a stratum of four ixches in thickness, of very coarse sand. This was unmistakably the altar, and the mound, beyond all question, one of sacrifice. Ita location outside of the general system of works oa these flats, the peculiar construction of the vault, the unusu: quantity of ashes found therein, with many other striking and comiourring facts, clearly indicate the character avd purpose of these quiet sleepers of the lain. Upon this point, however, we will not ven- cm furtber until the explorations shall be completed. Before entering fully upon the vault, the remains of a human tkeleton, ehowing strong indications of fire, were found, and, near by, two copper wristlets of very neat and truly artistic execution. These in- teresting relics are now before us, and excite, ny their mysterious history, emotions of wonder and ad- miration. They are evidently of pure copper, and heavily coated with the green oxide of that metal. They are about 24 by 34 inches io their dimensions. A Jarge flint spear point was found near the remains of the rkeleton. Before closing this hurried and imperfect notice, we will embrace the occasion to say, that a smaller mound, situated about one hundred and fifty:yards south of the large tumulus, was opened at the same time the other reseafthes were ia progress. [a i; were found two human skeletons in a tolerably good state of preservation. They appear to have been in- terred in a sitting posture, within what might be termed stove coffins. With these were discovered some bone instruments—one in the shape of a spoon, and a very handsome stone pire. The scientific world may look for some interesting results from these explorations. They are prose- cuted with great energy and industry by a gentle- man emirently qualified for the work. The antiqui- ties of Western Vireinis are among the most inter- esting in the walley of the Mississippi. Those at Grave Creek possess great interest to antiquarians, both of this country and Europe. We had recently shown us a work in French, entirely devoted to the tee of the-small inscriptive stone already al- jaded to. We again at, we shall wait with some impa- tience the result of the explorations now in progre: Axorper Murver 1x Kenrucky.—On the 27th ult another outrageous murder was committed near Lexington, Ky., upon the person of Patrick Heffer- nan, who resides on the turnpike, near Nicholasville. The last that was seen of him before he was found dead was at a house in Lexington, about nine o’clock on Sunday night, where he exchanged sixty dellars, Kentucky money, for gold. When discov- ered his pockets were pulled inside out, h's intes tines were cut out, and asevere wound inflicted over the head. No clue has as yet been ob‘ained to the villains. ALTERATION IN THE Crry GoverSMexT oF MontGourry, ALABAmMA.—The Legislatare of Ala- bama have passed a law abolishing the board of Common Council of the city ot Montgomery. By the same act, the number of Aldermen has been increased to twelve, the wards to six, and the time of holding the municipal election is changed to the firat Mon- day in December. A fire occurred in Geneva on Sunday night. in the store of Gerard Day, destroying his entire stock of goods, worth about $6,000. “Insured on bailding and poo, $5,000-—-$4,000 in Poughkeepsie, and $1,000 the Ontario and Livingston. The books and pa- pers of the store, secured in a safe, were uninjared till it ae opened, when they ignited and were con- sumed. ee MABITIMNE INTELLIGENCE, Deo 10 Dec 1 Deo 17 Deo 17 Deo 20 ALMANAC FOR NEW YORK—THiS DAY, ¥ j ++. 10] Moom ents. . <. 08 48 ose 481] HGH Wate, » 10 ~port of New York, December 3, 1853.
