A (J RE AT DISCOVERY. DR. Sci! I.I KM AN N'S REPORT FKOM MY cKXAi TO TliK KING or GREECE. Dy Cable to the iWir iori /ftraW. I^OMDON, Dec. 9, 187?. Fresh on tho heels of Oesnoin'ii won derful discoveries of treasure ai Kunnin come un announcement from Dr. Henri Schliemann, whose great success on the bite ol' ancient Troy was first cominuni cited to thc Het'iLi three years ago. This enthusiastic archaeologist has been at work upon the site of t' c ancient city of Mycenae in thc Pclop uir.esus, and his work has been crown? "' "?th the most complete success. Thc Doctor baa telc craplied to tho Herald bureau a copy of thc despatch in which he announced the result of his exploration to thc King of Greece. It is as follows: ? M AU NI TICKST OFFERING. To Iii? Xfujcshf Ki nj Qtorge: With unbounded joy I announce to Your Majesty that I nave discovered the monuments which thc tradition related hy Puusaiiius indicates J?H thc- tomb* of Agamemnon, Cassandra, Burymedonand their companions who were killed while feasting at a banquet by Clytemnestra ami her lover ?Sgisthu?. These tombs are surrounded by a dou ble parallel circle, with tablets undoubt edly erected in honor of thc victims. In these tombs I have (bund immense arch aeological treasures und numbers of arti cles of pure gold. The treasure alone is ?ufficieiit to fill a large museum, MIK! tho m<K>l splendid in thc world. In succeeding ages I am sure it will attract to Greece thousands of strangers from abroad. A- lam laboring simply for thc love of science I waive ail claim to the treasure, and offer it, with intense enthusiasm, entirely t J Greece. Sire, may these treasures, with God's blessing, become the corner stone of an immense national wealth. DR. HENRI SCHLIEMANN. Mrcemr, Sorember i>H, 1871). IMPORTANCE OP THE MSCOVKIUK8. The highest scientific authorities in London declare Dr. Schliemann's discov eries to be thc most important yet made in the history of archaeological investiga tion. They go back to thc Cyclopean era in architecture and to the time of the destruction of Troy or to the Greece nf ? almost 3,000 years ago, when it was tin first city of Hellenes. NOT A MYTH. Myccnte, the town ol which Dr. Schlie mann spenka in this letter, is one of the most ancient in the world. I.ong before thc Greeta joined together to avenge the wrongs of Menelaus and tu recover thc beautiful Holen from ber paramour Paris, this city was R great centre of govern ment and civilization. Homer calls it "populous" and "broad-streeted," and it was its King Agamemnon-tho "King of men"-who was Ciiosen to com mund the Grecian forces nt Troy. Dr.Schliemann, in digging up these relics and exposing to view the tombs of these heroes ol long departed ages, carries us back far beyond historic time?, and to n groat extent over turns the theories of several modern writ ers on history. The stories which have generally been considered almost mythi cal of the return of Agamemnon nnd bia murder by his wife Clytemnestra and her lover, Jbgisthus, are now almost con firmed by tho discovery of their tombs in positions which tend to prove the truth of the legend. This story is one of the most tragical that bas been treated by tho great poets of the golden age of Greet tragedy. vEschylus ir his ''Agamemnon," Sopho cles in his "Electra," and Euripides in his "Orestes" havo each in turn drama tized various phases of this remarkable story. The legend, or, ns we may now term it, history, relates how Agamemnon, on his return from thc siege ol' Troy, waa foully murdered in his own banqueting hall, and how his wife and paramour, who hud murdered him, afterwards in termarried. THE STORY OF AGAMEMNON. Agamemnon nnd Mencinus were sons of Plisthcnes, and grand-sons of Atreus, King of Myccnru. They were brought up, together with their cousin, iEgisthus, in thc. house of Artcus. After the mur der of Atreus by uEgisthusand Thyestcs, thc two_brothers fled to Sparta, of which place Menelaus afterward became King, f h?y married two sisters, tho dnugbters of Ty neb us, Agamemnon espousing Cly temnestra and Menelaus, thc far-famed Helen. At tho couclusiou of the Trojan war, whither Agamemnon had gone to assist his brother in recovering hts wife, he re turned to Myccnte, Before leaving Troy he had obtained as his share in the spoils Cassandra, the prophetic daughter of Priam. She frequently foretold to him thu sad fate which awaited him should he return ; but, blind to fate, he insisted on hastening to his "much loved" Myce nae. On his arrival there he found that his cousin iEgiathus, whom he had left as the guardian of his Kingdom and of his v. ife, had basely betrayed bis trust. Tho guilty conplo immediately'-resolved to add to their other crime by murdering him, and took the opportunity of a ban ?uet given to celebrate bia safe arrival. I ls related that as be came from the bath Clytemnestra gave him a t*nic with the sleeves sewn up, and RS he vainly at tempted to put it on she felled him with blows of a hatchet, wbilo her lover, -Egisthus, assisted. At the samo time several of his companions perished, and among .hem Cassandra, who had warned him of his fate. This murder forms the plot of the "Agamemnon" of ^schylus, the first of ibo great dramatic triumv?rate, ?hilc She return of Orestes and the death of Cly t A rn np* tra at him hantle form thnut nf th* "Electra'' and "Orestes." THE SITE OF THE EXPLORATIONS. Mycenm, tho. scene of this terrible tragedy, was an ancient town in Argolis, about six miles to the. northeast of Argos, and is situated on a little hill at the hean of a narrow valley. During thc reign of Agamemnon it was considered fhn chief city in the Peloponnesus, but after the Dorian invasion it ceased to bc a place of much importance. It continued, how ever, to be au independent town until the year 468 B. C., when it was attacked by thc Argivcs, who, having reduced the inhabitants by famine, razed the town level with the adjoining country. Strabo states that the destruction' of this famous City Waa oo complete tuai, uuv a VCD??&C of it remained in bis time. But Pausa ni us, who lived after Strabo's time, relates that tho ancient walls and tombs still existed in ' his time, and these are the relics of antiquity which Dr. Schliemann has now, after much patient research, succeeded in unearthing. Pausanias states that when ho visited Myceno a considerable part of thc wall still remained standing, and thc Sreat gate, With ita lions at either side, is icre up to thc present day. These works wore attributed to the Cyclops, who nxe abo said to have assisted Prcotus lu build ing the walls of Tiryn*. Hence thia massive stylo of architecture ls called Cyclopean. Here Pausanias also saw the ant rgrcund chambers of Atreus and his chi.dren, where they k-.pt their treasure. Also thc tomb of Atreus and those of the companions of Agamemnon, ~vho .were alain by JEgisthus. There was ooma doubt . whether the tomb of Cassandra was there or not, bul those cf Agamem non nnd his charioteer Eurymedon, es wuli as tho twin sons of C*?aodr?, sup posed to have been also murdered by 3?ff?9tbB*, wjerotheic.

While there are many doubters ns to whether thc cities superimposed on cities which he unearthed in the Tread were really those of the [lion of Priam and Hector, and its poorer successors on thc same site, he has goiie on trusting in his great prophet Homer. About his lates? discoveries there can hardly be the saute question, but wc may look forward to lively discussions lor mouths to come in archaeological circles all over the civ ilized world. The War Cloud in the Kant. Thc ruinbllrgs are uitnimii-s lo sav 'he least, though hopeful people regard the chances ol ultimate collidion as less prom inent than tho;" of a peaceful solution. The Servian question ami Turkish atroci ties in Bulgaria would, in thc event of a generrl war, seemingly put the contest in the lieut of a Moslem crusade turned in to a Christian advance; but, though the Turk is apparently at the bottom of the trouble, ii the struggle assumes larger proportions the real issue will be found underlying either in'.?resta. A prominent EnglU? journal, one per haps as reliable and of as high authority as any, Mys, under very recent dato : '"In the event of Hinda crossing the Rdkan, our Government intend to act with decision, and to employ both our naval and military forces in resisting the advance ol' Russia to Constantinople. The plan of operations would he a? fol lows: Fifty thousand troops would be sent lo Verna, ?rout which point they could operate with great ctTcct on thc communications of the Russian army, and perhaps cut it off altogether from its base of operation* The fleet would ut once he moved i>? to the Bosphor'JM. Five army corps would be mobilized, and this would enable the Government to send almost all tb.- regular army on for eign service.'' In iuch event what wil! i c. England's position? Seemingly very anomalous. The. English pre-?s. the English people have cried oui against Moslem fanaticism. Eloquent voices ami powerful pens have urged n sci'.ure ol the opportunity to drive the hated infidel hack to Asia ; to recover the church of St. Sophia at Con stantinople, now desceruted to the UM; of a mosque; to restore Palestine and re conquer Jerusalem. Is this all a hollow firetetisc? Shrewd observers say "Eng and's quarrel is with Russia ; the lion fears that thc bear will runge the cove ted treasures of the far East. Moslem taualicisin and Bulgarian outrages may do for an exceedingly proper and conven tional growl, but instead of throttling the I'urk. Albion will defend him, when by so doing British interests can best be sub served. Whether or not it is the truly ?nerccnary interest of England to assist Turkey forms a debatable subject. Far seeing men, totally uuactuated by any considerations whatever, either for or against the religious aspect, claim thnt it will he fatul lo England's future, and dis astrous to her present, to engnge in a warfare simply with a view to prevent accessions to Russian power anti territo rial limits. England is much more vul nerable now than she was twenty years ago. Science has dawned upon warfare, and sochanged thcgeneral condition of things, that those features which were thc Bri ton's clement of strength arc now the embodiment of weakness. ?Should Eng land venture rashly into this war, a hing er stride will bc taken toward the realiza tion of the jester's prophecy about thc New Zcalander pensively surveying thc site of London from thc ruins of Loudon bridge, than tunny people have imagined possible. Disaster to the English nation means a great ?orr .v and misfortune to thc civil ized and cultured world. Let us hope for tne sake of humanity that it muy tie averted. Judge Loch rano ca Oregon. Wc were present yesterday when the question caine up about the vote for Mr. Tilden in Oregon. A gentleman who was present recited the mode by which Senator Sherman, as President nf thc Senate, would take up thc package con taining the vote of that Stale under the seals of thc Governor and Secretary of State, and would recognize tho vote for Hayes and Wheeler by the electors with out certificates and would declare him elected. The Judge was appealed tn if this could he done? His reply impressed us ns the utterance of a prophecy. "If," raid he, "such a sharaei. ss and mon strous outrage waa attempted, it would bo the inauguration of war in thc Senate chamber. The uncertified votes from Oregon have not even the legal pretext of the Domocratie electors from Floridu, South Carolina and Loi'.isiona for Tilden and Hendricks, and which tho American people would give, on inrestignton, to tho men who were honestly elected. If the Catalincs nf the republic dared the ac complishment of an act of such political indecency aa that proposed, the cry of shame would echo through every corri dor of thc capitol, and tho hands of bon est Senators would drag such n miserable miscreant and asssasin or public liberty from his scat. Our guvciauient," said the Judge, "is a government of law, and not thc theatre of armed coptest. The people demand peace, and will, under the law, put up, as they have dono tn South Carolina, with the infliction of tbe most unblushing injustice. But if you ask me," said the Judge, "if the people's representative in the Senate would sit siieui and see thc unauthenticated act of a sovereign State ignored, and the vote of.self-constituted electors without official recognition picked up and read in its place, my, solemn opinion is, that the up lifted hand that rebuked the act would be clinched, and tho mouth that uttered the political lie would soon be closed oh, no," said the Jcdge, with a smile, "I look for no such act. The situation is dark, but the futura will not let down such drapery of shame upon ita history. rr'c uro inrrrvd, it ia i ruc, hui W6 i?? not delirious.
