Flint says, "the most dense ancient population existed in precisely the same places where the most crowded future population will exist in agea to come." At water, of t'irclcville, Ohio, one of the earliest and most judicious explorers in the held, estimated that a population of two millions once resided in the American Hot torn, (the alluvian on the east hank of the Nlisoippi extending southward from Alton one lrundreii miles, and being from five to ten miles wide. This tract proh al?ly does not now contain over ten thousand inhabitants, though it was nott!<-?! by tbc French more than a century ago, and their descendants leside there still, in their whitewashed log cabins. It may not be amiss to stato here that the "river bottoms," so#often alluded to bv Western and Sonthern men, are level diluvial tracts genet ally found on each aide of every Western river 01 creek, and are overflowed in timo of gieat freshets, like what in New- Holland aro called iHen(f<jir$. Moreover, to contribute to a clearer understanding of the present subject by those who are not familiar with thii geological formation of the Western States, I will remark that the whole conntry between the Alleghany and ltncky Mountains is a vast basin of secondary limestone, mostly carboniferous-?that all the river* find <-r??-l.-c nni cnr In l.nvn irnm * ? * -r i n channel through the limestone from thirty to three hundred feel deep, and thereforo their water* flow far beneath the general level of tho country. \Vnl!s of solid limestone, more or lea* precipitous, hnve thus been formed wherever w*ter flow*.

The site of the town of Ctrchiville was . i two erulh mounds, one circular, the other . sij'iare, containing twenty acres. Tim llrst w as inclosed hv two circtimvalhitions. In the centre of the town is a small circle, and from this focus streets diverge in regular n lii, intersecting the walls at eoital distances.

It covers eight acres, and its summit has a level area of four acres. Its olid contents are twenty millions of cubic feet.

HON JAMES L ORR. This distinguished South Carolina , statesman has been in our city for several j days, and will leavo today on a short trip to Kansas. Few men in this country have risen more rapidly to a high position j as a statesman, than Col. Orr. He was ! first elected to Congress in lS4d, when very young, and has been re elected witht out opposition to each succeeding Congress. So great is his popularity in his State that none could bo found to oppose him for his seat, lie immediately look a high stand in Congress as a debater, and on account of his courteous bearing towards his fellow-members, lie has succeeded hi making a most useful Representative, in procuring the passage of bills that depend inoro upon personal exertion j than anything else, lie lias long been i regarded is the leader of the democracy in tliu House, and his party has frequently attempted to elevate I.no to the Speak .

A MARRIAGE CONTRACT. In the course of a recent case of breach of promise, at Rochester, the Judge in his charge to the Jury, said that it was not necessary to maintain the existence of a promise 01 marriage to prove that defendant in express words or terms made a promise to plaintiff. Any circumstances wliicli usually accompany parlies while holding the relation of au engagement of marriage might properly be laid before a jury, and if sufficient to warrant * the opinion that such an engagement ex* bled, it was all the law required. "It is not necessary that there thould bo a promise of marriage in direct phraseology?no formal promise is required." frequent visits of the parties?retiring from llio society of others?seeking to be apart by themselves?expressions of attachments?presents-going together to places of amusement?walks and occasional remarks of hearing of others, are circumstances usually relied upon to prove that a marriage engagement exists, and if such are strong enough to produce conviction upon the mind, they are all that is necessary to answer the law.
