Aevada Democrat. Curlous Discovery in Ireland. In the month of July last some ancient regal ornaments were found by a poor countryman, The circumstance attracted general attention throughout the country, aod several parties expressed an anxiety to obtain the ornaments, which were of pure gold, and consisted of a crown and a collar. An iotimation was even sent through the autnorities, under the regulations of treasure trove, demanding the ornaments, of course at’their proper value, They bave since been publicly exhibited in the collection of the Dublin Society, and much admired by those who relish antiquarian researches. The Messrs. Hynes offered the countrymana handsome douceur if he would point out where he found the relics, but this the wily native kaowingly declined to do, no doubt expecting that other articles of value might be discovered in the same locality. He bas, however, at length divulged the particulars, The man resided at a place called Skea. near the celebrated ruins of Clanmacaoise, on, tbe brink of the Shannon. In the course of some agricultural operations, he removed a large flag which opened the passage to a spacious cavern, in which were found the crown and collar, together with some ancient bronze weapons and several utensils used for culinary purposes, The discoverer of this singular labrynth kept it concealed from the knowledge of any one for a considerable length of time; but at length be has been induced to show it to a very few individuals under a promise of secrecy; and, as be is about to leave this country for Australia, he intends for a consideration to lead the way to this subterranean chamber, evidently the retreat of the ancient monarchs who reigned in the locality. The iutricacies of this hidden apartmeot possess many singular vestiges of a defunct race. It wae, no doubt, at once a fort and residence, The bard-pressed chieftain and bis followers found in its recesses perfect security and concealment, for if any pursuers had the temerity to tread the tortuous wiodings of the entrance, certain destruction was eure to reach them ere they reached the apartments, several feet below the surface of what appears to be a limestone crag. Among other relics of by-gone days are ten elaborately ornamented slabs, of an octagonal form, and bearing long in scriptions in the Ogham character. The discovery of this wonderfal cavern throws much light on the legends of Bryan O’Donoghoe, and to this means of retreat from his enemies is nodoubt due the story of bis compact with the Evil One, from the consequences of which the Abbott St. Kieran is said to have released bim.—[Dublio paper. Poxroon Bripaes.—The New York Commercial’s Wasbington correspondent thuedeecribes the method of constructing a pon toon bridge for the paseage of an army over @ river: Pontoon boats are flat bottomed, thirtyone feet long, two and a half feet deep in the centre, two and a half feet wide at the square bow, and five feet wide at the etern, swelling out at the sides to the width of six feet. Each one fiteon a running gear of four wheels, and is used as a baggage wagon for the pontoonniere, carrying also its proportion of string-pieces and of plank. On reaching a river the boats are unloaded, floated across by cables mode fast up-stream, then the string-piecet are laid across from one boat to the next, and on these are laced the planke, each twenty-one feet ong, which form the gangway of that width. It ie a fine sight to see a regiment come to a river bank with a pontoon train—uoload and Jaunch their boats—moor them in a line, and in less than five minutes from the time when the word “balt’”’ was given, have a bridge. say six hundred feet in length, over which an army can safely pase, with artillery and baggage. Tue Sitave Trape.—The numerous arrests of siaver, masters, merchants and seamen during the past year or two bave exercised a very salutary effect, as shown in the last intelligence from the African coast. At Loando, and up the Congo there were 28,000 negroes in barraccoons, but no vessel to take them. Some idea of the immensity of the trafic may be obtained when we state . that 100,000 nezroes are said to be annually . imported into Cuba, their average value per bead being $300, or a total of $30,000, 000 ; the profits of the trade are shared in Affairs In Loutstanns The St. Louis correspondent of the Belletin furnishes the following extract from me New Orleans Crescent, of November Accounts were received yesterday that the naval expedition for Kentucky wae progressing finely towards its destinati0h, and that the great floating battery was going on finely. We dislike to say any more of the movements of this expedition, as the infernal spies and Black Republican syipathisers will be sending off their bearers of dispatches. There was some talk last evening of the withdrawal of the 34 Mississippl regiment, Col, Deason, from the seashore, aod of its embarkation for Columbus last evening. This leaves the seashore of of Mississippi Sound unprotected, he pe there is nothing of consequence for the picayune marauders to steal but a few chickens, pigsand cows. The villages offer nothing more to attract their attention. The correspondent adds : Here is an admission that Louisiana is somewhat in the condition of Arkansas, and, like the latter, has ite traitors to the Sooth. A regular Union conspiracy was not long ago discovered in New Orleans, and many of the participants discovered and thtown into prison. One of the acts of these “eonspirators’’ was to communicate intelligence to the blockading squadron, by sealing, up dispatches to the Federal naval captains in bottles, and setting the bottles adrift in the current of the Mississippi. This plan, however, is made available by secessioniste at Cairo, who performed the bottle feat for the benefit of Polk aod Pillow at Columbus. The great floating battery spoken of by the Creecent is a huge dock, which the Confederates have partially plated with iron and mounted with a number of large cannon. It is to be towed up to Colambus, and will there from part of the gun-boat squadron collected there under the command of the rebel Commodore Hollins for the defence of that place. The balance of the squadron, including the “ram’? Manassas, is already there, excepting the gun-boat Tuscarora, which was burned on its passage up. from New Orleans, Burning of the Confederate Guan-Boats Tuscarora. The rebel guo-boat Tuscarora, which was lately dispatched from New Orleans for Columbus, Ky., was burned >delow Mempbis, and the crew made a miraculous escape. A Mempbis paper bas the following account of the accident: The Confederate gun-boat Tuscarora while coming up the river last Saturday, was discovered to be on fire about helf-past 12 o’clock, about fifteen miles this side of Helena, The flames, when first discovered were seen issuing at the forward end of the boiler, and directly under the wheel-bouse. Tbe wind was blowing oft very strong, aid the flames, despite the efforts that — made to suppress them, epread with fearfal rapidity. The boat was ruo ashore as soon as possible. By this time the whole boat was in flames. The engineer opened the water pipes immediately. so as to save the magazine. He had hardly time to knock out a bulkhead and jnmp into the water before the shells in the forward and aft ehelllocker commenced exploding. The crew tried to throw the powder in the magazine overboard, but they bad no time to do it, as the explosion of shells commenced io about seven minutes after the flames were first diecovered. The captain and all the crew escaped onburt. The explosion of the shells eet the negro quarters on Mr., Bartlett's plantation on fire, besides firing the tops of trees and all combustible material. Two of the officers aod four of the men were left in charge of the wreck. Capt. G. W. Duonington, four officers and the remainder of the crew reached the city yes terday morning, on the steamer T. D. Hind from which point they will proceed to Columbus, None of the crew saved anything but the clothes upon their persons. When the Natchez and Ferd Kennett paseed yesterday the wreck was still burning, and the magazine, being at the stern and covered with water, was safe. The wreck it is thought, will ke raised without . difficulty, and at comparatively little ex. pense. ConrEeDERATE SenaTe.—An Eastern cort' respondent furnishes to the Union the following list of the Senators elected by the . New York, Cuba, England, France, Spain . Confederate Congress, which meets oa the . and Portugal. To put a stop to it our Government spends about $1,000,000 a year, beside many valuable lives, The cost to the British of their African squadron, is much greater. Through the energetic action of Capt. Sebufeldt, our Consul at Ha. vana, the fitting out of slavers at that Isof Becef, Pork, Matton, etc., and he hopes by liberal land has been practically put a stop to, If our other Consuls were equally earnest in the work, their efforts would doubtless meet with like success, but there is so much business done in this line as to lead to the inference that a vast deal of bribery prevails, . 18th of Febuary next : Virginia—Not elected.

Aevada Democrat. Curlous Discovery in Ireland. In the month of July last some ancient regal ornaments were found by a poor countryman, The circumstance attracted general attention throughout the country, aod several parties expressed an anxiety to obtain the ornaments, which were of pure gold, and consisted of a crown and a collar. An iotimation was even sent through the autnorities, under the regulations of treasure trove, demanding the ornaments, of course at’their proper value, They bave since been publicly exhibited in the collection of the Dublin Society, and much admired by those who relish antiquarian researches. The Messrs. Hynes offered the countrymana handsome douceur if he would point out where he found the relics, but this the wily native kaowingly declined to do, no doubt expecting that other articles of value might be discovered in the same locality. He bas, however, at length divulged the particulars, The man resided at a place called Skea. near the celebrated ruins of Clanmacaoise, on, tbe brink of the Shannon. In the course of some agricultural operations, he removed a large flag which opened the passage to a spacious cavern, in which were found the crown and collar, together with some ancient bronze weapons and several utensils used for culinary purposes, The discoverer of this singular labrynth kept it concealed from the knowledge of any one for a considerable length of time; but at length be has been induced to show it to a very few individuals under a promise of secrecy; and, as be is about to leave this country for Australia, he intends for a consideration to lead the way to this subterranean chamber, evidently the retreat of the ancient monarchs who reigned in the locality. The iutricacies of this hidden apartmeot possess many singular vestiges of a defunct race. It wae, no doubt, at once a fort and residence, The bard-pressed chieftain and bis followers found in its recesses perfect security and concealment, for if any pursuers had the temerity to tread the tortuous wiodings of the entrance, certain destruction was eure to reach them ere they reached the apartments, several feet below the surface of what appears to be a limestone crag. Among other relics of by-gone days are ten elaborately ornamented slabs, of an octagonal form, and bearing long in scriptions in the Ogham character. The discovery of this wonderfal cavern throws much light on the legends of Bryan O’Donoghoe, and to this means of retreat from his enemies is nodoubt due the story of bis compact with the Evil One, from the consequences of which the Abbott St. Kieran is said to have released bim.—[Dublio paper. Poxroon Bripaes.—The New York Commercial’s Wasbington correspondent thuedeecribes the method of constructing a pon toon bridge for the paseage of an army over @ river: Pontoon boats are flat bottomed, thirtyone feet long, two and a half feet deep in the centre, two and a half feet wide at the square bow, and five feet wide at the etern, swelling out at the sides to the width of six feet. Each one fiteon a running gear of four wheels, and is used as a baggage wagon for the pontoonniere, carrying also its proportion of string-pieces and of plank. On reaching a river the boats are unloaded, floated across by cables mode fast up-stream, then the string-piecet are laid across from one boat to the next, and on these are laced the planke, each twenty-one feet ong, which form the gangway of that width. It ie a fine sight to see a regiment come to a river bank with a pontoon train—uoload and Jaunch their boats—moor them in a line, and in less than five minutes from the time when the word “balt’”’ was given, have a bridge. say six hundred feet in length, over which an army can safely pase, with artillery and baggage. Tue Sitave Trape.—The numerous arrests of siaver, masters, merchants and seamen during the past year or two bave exercised a very salutary effect, as shown in the last intelligence from the African coast. At Loando, and up the Congo there were 28,000 negroes in barraccoons, but no vessel to take them. Some idea of the immensity of the trafic may be obtained when we state . that 100,000 nezroes are said to be annually . imported into Cuba, their average value per bead being $300, or a total of $30,000, 000 ; the profits of the trade are shared in Affairs In Loutstanns The St. Louis correspondent of the Belletin furnishes the following extract from me New Orleans Crescent, of November Accounts were received yesterday that the naval expedition for Kentucky wae progressing finely towards its destinati0h, and that the great floating battery was going on finely. We dislike to say any more of the movements of this expedition, as the infernal spies and Black Republican syipathisers will be sending off their bearers of dispatches. There was some talk last evening of the withdrawal of the 34 Mississippl regiment, Col, Deason, from the seashore, aod of its embarkation for Columbus last evening. This leaves the seashore of of Mississippi Sound unprotected, he pe there is nothing of consequence for the picayune marauders to steal but a few chickens, pigsand cows. The villages offer nothing more to attract their attention. The correspondent adds : Here is an admission that Louisiana is somewhat in the condition of Arkansas, and, like the latter, has ite traitors to the Sooth. A regular Union conspiracy was not long ago discovered in New Orleans, and many of the participants discovered and thtown into prison. One of the acts of these “eonspirators’’ was to communicate intelligence to the blockading squadron, by sealing, up dispatches to the Federal naval captains in bottles, and setting the bottles adrift in the current of the Mississippi. This plan, however, is made available by secessioniste at Cairo, who performed the bottle feat for the benefit of Polk aod Pillow at Columbus. The great floating battery spoken of by the Creecent is a huge dock, which the Confederates have partially plated with iron and mounted with a number of large cannon. It is to be towed up to Colambus, and will there from part of the gun-boat squadron collected there under the command of the rebel Commodore Hollins for the defence of that place. The balance of the squadron, including the “ram’? Manassas, is already there, excepting the gun-boat Tuscarora, which was burned on its passage up. from New Orleans, Burning of the Confederate Guan-Boats Tuscarora. The rebel guo-boat Tuscarora, which was lately dispatched from New Orleans for Columbus, Ky., was burned >delow Mempbis, and the crew made a miraculous escape. A Mempbis paper bas the following account of the accident: The Confederate gun-boat Tuscarora while coming up the river last Saturday, was discovered to be on fire about helf-past 12 o’clock, about fifteen miles this side of Helena, The flames, when first discovered were seen issuing at the forward end of the boiler, and directly under the wheel-bouse. Tbe wind was blowing oft very strong, aid the flames, despite the efforts that — made to suppress them, epread with fearfal rapidity. The boat was ruo ashore as soon as possible. By this time the whole boat was in flames. The engineer opened the water pipes immediately. so as to save the magazine. He had hardly time to knock out a bulkhead and jnmp into the water before the shells in the forward and aft ehelllocker commenced exploding. The crew tried to throw the powder in the magazine overboard, but they bad no time to do it, as the explosion of shells commenced io about seven minutes after the flames were first diecovered. The captain and all the crew escaped onburt. The explosion of the shells eet the negro quarters on Mr., Bartlett's plantation on fire, besides firing the tops of trees and all combustible material. Two of the officers aod four of the men were left in charge of the wreck. Capt. G. W. Duonington, four officers and the remainder of the crew reached the city yes terday morning, on the steamer T. D. Hind from which point they will proceed to Columbus, None of the crew saved anything but the clothes upon their persons. When the Natchez and Ferd Kennett paseed yesterday the wreck was still burning, and the magazine, being at the stern and covered with water, was safe. The wreck it is thought, will ke raised without . difficulty, and at comparatively little ex. pense.
