THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN AND TI
NOACHIAN FLOOD.
One of tbe most interesting questions tba
gaged the attention of the British Associate
their recent meeting in Scotland, was that ol
pre-historic existence ol' man. Sh JOHN L?BI
is considered the head of British inquirers in
recondite branch of'ethnology. He read a.p
before the Association, in which ho expresser.
Lehel that tlie primitive condition of mau waa
of utter barbarism; that from this condition
ral races have independently raised themsel
'"Those view*.'* ho said, "follow from strictly
entitle considerations."
Sh- RODERICK MURCHISON observed that all
investigations in geology convinced him of a g:
progression in the works of nature. The disc
on-, in the coarse of geological explorations
implements, which had evidently been manu
tut ed and used by man, and of other relic
man, had raised up a new school of pio-hisb
inquirers.
But it was not to chronicle the transactions <
foreign scientific body that wo entered upon
consideration of this subject. It was rather
cause we wished to communicate to our read
the fact that we havo in our very midst one, v
having labored long and assiduously in this sa
field, can of righ claim a portion of the hoi
which attaches to Gist discovery. During a per
covering nearly thirty j cars Professor FRANCIS
KOLMKS, ; of thid city, has pursued this inqu
with energy and unwavering attention.
By mere act ident, while engaged in cultivati
his plantation, noar tho Ashley River, about I
miles from Charleston, Prof. HOLMES first foti
in a bed generally recognized as belonging to I
post-pleiocene deposit, a number of fossils of <
mylodon, megatherium, mastodon, the tapir, t
beaver, muskrat and grey rabbit; moreover,
mains of the ox, the horse, the hog, the sheep a
the dog; traces of tt 3 fossils of extinct species
animals, along with remains of wild animals si mi
to those now inhabiting this Continent; and of c
meatic animals analogous to, nay, identical wil
those now in our sei vice, which latter would se.
at one time to have formed part of the fauua
America; but to have been altogether absent
the opening of the historic period of this hem
phere.
These discoveries Prof. HOLMES published
different forms, between 1857 and 1860. They i
tracted considerable attention, but as the pb
nomena were contrary to the received theories
geology, they met with little favor, and we
rather viewed with distrust. This is the usu
fate of pioneer theories, and Dr. HOLMES, with tl
zeal and enthusiasm which he alone can feel wi
is conscious of fulfilling his destiny in the 11
selfish pursuit of a noble calling! did not pera
this and innumerable other discouragements
cause any intermission of his labors, while th<
had the effect of making him more cautions. Tl
Book of Nature was open before him, and with
single purpose ho proceeded in his self-allott,
task, unmindful ahke of the gibes of the ignorai
utilitarian, or the sneers of self-opinionated mc
of science.
Further researches, so far trom clearing up thi.
geological paradox, served only to increase th
perplexities attending it. To tho" varied reruair
already enumerated .were added, still from tb
same bed, in 1857, a piece of pottery, a few year
later, arrowheads, spearheads and hatchets, both <
stone, and of animal's tusks, au I, within tho lat
few weeks, another hatchet and antler.
These, as far as we know, are the first discover
ed evidences of the presence of man in those earl
geological records of the world's histoiy. Pidtet
s.>r HOLSTES, surprised and gratified at such ut
looked for rewards of bis researches, uevortheles
J ur bed his enthusiasm, and did not publish thes
"acts, being determined to await corroboration -
satisfied that nature is her own bust interpreter
ind that: in dnc course of timo. ' light from soul
source would come and illumine this dark pago 0
?reogony. "We commend his prudence and hi:
tnodeaty, but cannot help regretting thal, by tb!
delay, he has probably lost the honors due ti
priority of wOvery; for the lamala are usual I;
awarded to first publication rather than tofirsl
discovery.
Professor HOLMES did not have to wait long foi
corroboration. At the session of Juuo 23. 1839
the Imperial Society of Emulation, Abbeville
(France), a letter to the President waa read iron:
Mr*. JOSEPH PRESTWICK, a member ot the Roya
Society, in which he says that he is couviuced that
"those axes were lound iu au undisturbed deposit
(terrain .vierge), and associated with the bones ol
the? great mammif?re;" that this "opinion is bott
correct and well founded." Mr. JOHN EVANS, mom
ber. of the Geological and Antiquarian Societies o
London, remarked: "I waa present at the sitting
of the Royal Society when Mr. PHL-STWICK read hie
report on the stone axes found in the diluvium
and I add my testimony to his." . Aft .ir speaking
of the axe that his colleague had just diseoverec
in the diluvium, in Suffolk, Mr. EVANS, who hac
accompanied Mr. PBESTWTCX in his first visit tc
Abbeville and assisted him in his explorations
says: "I am satisfied these instruments of flint
will be found in many other localities if the search
for them be properly conducted."
Mr. EVANB' surmise was correct. There had
already boen, for several years, in the Museum ol
tho College of Charleston, a fine collection of these
several evidences of the presence of man during
the post-pleiocene epoch. Flint hatchets and other
utensils havo since been discovered also in Eng?
land, and iu other parts of France; likewise in
Florida and in California.
The natural inquiry arises at this point, viz: ll
the remains of domestic animals and the imple?
ments of human industry have been found in these
beds, how is it that no signs of human bones have
hitherto been detected here ? It is true none such
have been observed ut tho Ashley River bed; but
Count PO?RTALAIS, a French sc. cn nf, who a few
yoars ago made a geological tour through tho
United States, discovered fragmento of two maxil?
lary bones, undoubtedly belonging to the human
species. His discovery, wo learn, is well authenti?
cated. In the cavos in England also humau bones
have been fouud, associated in the samo geological
strata with the fossils of extinct species of ani?
mals. Professor HOLMES thinkB that the absence
of human remains proves nothing against the the?
ory, otherwise so strongly supported, of tho exist
enco of mau iu the post-pleiocene period. He is
confident that ere many years the "valley of the
dry bones," the graveyard of that pre-historio era,
will be found, and its discovery will shed a further
ray of light upon this interesting subject.
But the data already at our command furnish
ample basis for a superstructure of theory. Wo
have in the first place sholls and divers forms of
marine deposits, clearly belonging to tho eocene,
among remains of the pleiocene and post-pleiocene
periods. 2. The fossilB of extinct mammifers and
sauroids are here found side by side with the bones
of animals, in all particulars the same as those
now roaming our forests, as the deer, rabbit,
muskrat, beaver, Ac. 3. The bed contains also
the remains of the horse, the ox, the sheep, the
hog and the dog, and these in no essential differ?
ing from the bones of these species, as we now
know them. 4. In addition to rinding these re?
mains of different epochs all in juxtaposition, we
further have traces of humau art in the shape of
pottery, found in. this bed, and also bpear and
arrow heads, and ?hatchets of dint and ivory-all
similar in form to those dug from the Indian
mounds in the upper parts of our State, but much
ruder in form, and more abraded bv the action of
time and other destructive force?. We agree wit h
Prof. HOLMES in believing that such molla podrida,
made up of patches of different asos. could bo the
result only of some mighty convulsions ol nature;
and water, Of all her forces, is the only one-ai
once mightv, regular and uniform in its act ion
that will account for tho varie;! and striking phe?
nomena here unfolded lo view.
Professor HOLMES thinks that this ^.-ratification
is tho result or a flood; rmbablv of the Noachian
Plood; that thc hitter is not confined to a nar?
row precinct of the olu world merelv, but, per?
haps, extonded over both hemispheres: that herc
upon this continent alone, in the Indians of our
western prairies, arc now seen tho descendants,
in unbroken lino, of the antediluvians, and thal
emigration was trom herc to the*East; that this,
therefore, is the old world, and Ana, hitherto
called the cradle of tho human race, is the new.

[FROM 01H SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. ]
NEW YORK, October 2,1867.
Music and the man I sing- the mau who doeB
uot play*upon pianos, but who work* upon the in?
strument, who attacks it furiously, who does bat?
tle with it fiercely, who engages it as it wero in a
hand to hand conflict and come? out triumphant in
the end, who perspires profusely aa he plays and
?till plays on, who is as it were thu acrobat of pi?
anists, who, if he cannot beat THALBERG and
LISZT, can at least beat upon the instrument
louder than either ot these great masters. Moul?
trie has seen and heard the great LEOPOLD DE
MYER. Tho place-Steinway's Hall; the lime-laet
night. The hall is densely crowded. THOMAS'S
Ma mme "1 Orchestra has perforad unheeded;
Mrs. HEMPTON has warbled her sweet notes in
vain; little CARL ROSA has sawed upon the feline
intestines and has won but little applause, except
"rom POZNANSKI, his brother artist, who is seated
muong tho audience, and who may bo distinguished
by his lengthy locks, which, Uko some of his and
ROSA'S finest notes, are most artistically long
Irawn out. All have finished, and 'tis time for OK
MTEK lo appear. Now there is a breathless silence
in the hall; then a nervous movement; then uiur
inurred exclamations, and next a deafening shout
)f applause as an old man comos forward
iipou the stage and bows his hoad, all white and
silvered o'er by the breath of old father Time. The
i;Lion Pianist," as he is justly called, stands in
'rout of us, and nnou behold him seated in iront of
the Steinway grand. Ho has begun tho attack.
\.t first we hear the clear and sweet tones of the
ustrtunont, as with tho rapidity of tho lightning
ris fingers flash over the keys-anon, the thundor
jf the basa, and nov,' does the artist begin to warm
ip to his work-his eyes flash with the fire of
jeuius, his cheek reddens with thc flush of excite?
ment, his long snow white locks fall in disorder about
iis brow, ho clenches his hand at.times as though
[ie were engaged in a prize fight, and thou comes
the music, then does the piano change into a
diing of life, then does it talk if ever piano spake;
the air pulsates, as it were with the vibrations of
sound, there is music in the most infinitestimal
portion of every cubic inch of air in the hall
music in our ears, tn usic in our eyes, and nose and
mouth, music in the very benches and flooring,
music everywhere. I have never heard suth play
ng. I have heard THALBERG, who is a moro
?nishod artist, and is DE M VERS' master;
ret have I never heard such playing, nor has any
me else, for as regards difficulties and wonderful
manipulation, DE MTEB probably has no equal,
jven in the great LISZT himself. Nevertheless, he
s not, strictly speaking, a finished artist. He
acks polish and poetry of style. Ho is a clap-trap
performer, like a great tragedian who excels in
ranting passages. His execution may bo compared
to CHARLOTTE CUSHMAN'S Mog Merriles, but not to
BOOTH'S Hamlet or RACHEL'S Phedre. LEOPOLD DE
MvF.n, however, has made a K?"eat hit, not only
jpou the piano, which ho hits so well, but upon
the public miud and pocket. Had. 1 found DE
JITER to be simply a great pianist. 1 would not
save devoted BO much space lo an account of his
performauco, but as it is, I most be excused, on
the ground that I know that it will be agroeable to
the music-loving people of my dear native city to.
tiear something of tho wonderful musical executor
jf possible impossibilities, who astonished the etti
'epa of CharlcstorSw?tty years ago, and who as?
tonished Motdtrie^is?t night by the incredible
'eats performed with his hands.
Quite a large number af. the gentlemen employed
tb clerks in the stores dB.Broadway, where rents
ire extremely high, and'salaries proportionately, cr
.atlier disproportionately'low, have of lalo resort
id to a novel plan by which to increase the latter
vithout placing themselves under obligations lo
heir pay-rental employors. The plan is to dis?
use ol goods at one hundred per cent, below COS i
o themselves as cash purchasers, and then to sell
hem off in a lump to customers at a small profit.
1'he business has flips far paid remarkably well
br thu clerks, but the firms have, many of them,
H'conie infirm in consequence; woerefore, they
lave sot seine shrewd detectives on tho track, and
he result is that a number of young gentlemen
lave been temporarily buried alive in tho Tombs.

Russian, French ai d Turkish "kaisers" were on

it first, for they wore on hoisoback. King William
if Prussia was there, with Bismarck by his side,
Louis Napoleon, Victor Emanuel aud the Sultan
ill joined in the lagor beer imbibing; and the most
Halted representatives of the human race being
present. A horse race followed, which amused the
.Towd. Then came theatricals, tableaux vivants,
ind trippings of the light and heavy fantastic toe.
Much lager waa drunk; no men were drunk.
Every thing went off as merry as a weddin;; bell.

General Sarum AN is still being lionized. Yes?
terday he advanced upon BRADY'S gallery, whero

paid a visit to tho Board of Brokers, who received

A member of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, yesterday caused tho arrest ot
a hard-hearted man who had performed with a
club for about ten minutes upon the cranium of a
hard-headed uiulo. The niau urged in his do
fenoo that the mule had kicked him without prov?
ocation, wherefore he had felt justified in perform?
ing a solo upon tho animal's head ti la LEOPOLD DE
MKVER. The man nae buen held to bail, and tho
mulo rejoiceth.
Can a dead man be tried for bigamy?-if so, the
ghost nf RICHARD E. KEERshould be arraigned and
held for trial-for said KEEB seems to have been a
steam' car, so far as matrimony was concerned.
KEER ran off the track-that is to say, died-and
left two widows who both claim thc snug little
amount of twenty thousaud dollars, which tho car
left behind. The case is now before the Court,
and n curious feature about it is that both of thc
disconsolate widows rejoice in the name of JANE.
Gold steady. Cotton in better demand.

THE YELLOW FEVER ru NEW ORLEANS.-The
total number of interments reported by the
sextons of the various cemeteries for the week
ending Sunday was 732, ol' which 489 died fi om
yellow fever, 83 from other fevers, and 1G0 (rom
various diseases.
The first case of yellow fever reported as fatal
this season was during the week ending July 7(h.
Thero was only on e case that weak. The figures
since then np to the present, show that thc dis?
ease has been steadily on the increaso, and has
extended throughou* the length and breadth of
the city, carrying mourning to hundreds and
hundreds of households. The increase of the
week just past is Tl over that of the week pre?
vious. '
The total number o? death? from vello., fever
since its first appearance this season up to Sun?
day has been 177U.
The figures still show that the majority of deaths
are among foreigners or unaeclimate.l pensons;
and also that the disease is more latal among the
males than the females. This last fact is won?
dered at by many. We think the cause of this is
that the avocations ol the men loree them to more
exposure, besides their habits are not so rog ul al?
or temperate as those ol the female population.

dent of the Entomological Society,' made an in?
teresting contribution on the above subject The
late Archbishop Whately held that we have no
reason to suppose that any communitv evor did or
ever can emergo unassisted from ? state of utter
barbarism iuto anything that can be called civiliza?
tion. Having pointed out tho difficulty of produc?
ing evidence to satisfy Whately ot the utter
primitive barbarism of a race, Sir John went into
evidence showing that civilized races aro descend?
ants of races that Rave risen iron) barbarism If
it was asked how it carno to pass the Australian
had not advanced to tho same stage as the Eu?
ropean races, Sir John Lubbock answered be?
cause Australia possesses neither cereals' nor
animals that can be domesticated with anv advan?
tage; and asked if the Australian is degraded, whv
ts not the European equally degrado!? Whately
quoted President Smith, that if man had been left
an outcast orphan of nature ho must have porish
ed before he learned io supply his urgent wants.
Ibo writer answered that the samo may be said of
the gorilla, or tho chimpanzee, who were certainly
nut thc degraded descendants of civilized ances?
tors.
Among tho facts which Boomed to. militate
against Whately?* view, Sir John mentioned tho
fuUowing: Whately supposed mankind originally
herdsmen and cultivators. The Australians, Tas
mamans, North and South Americans, and several
ocher moro or less savago races, wore entirely ig?
norant of cattle-rearing and cultivating tho soil
He thought it extremely improbable that such easy
and advantageous arts ones learned should ever
havo been abandoned. Lost civdization would
leave traces behind it. No trace of a bono of either
oxen or sheep bad been found in the whole extent
of Australia or America, nor, in Australia, of the
horse. Cidtivatcd cereals would survive, perhaps,
in a wild state and in modified forms; but other
plants follow in tho train of mau. The Maoris
have a melancholy proverb that the Maori disap?
pears before the w'iite man? just as tho white man's
rat destroys thc nativo raft too European fly drives
away tho Maori ti}', and the clover kills the New
Zealand fern. Tho fauna and flora-of Australia
give no evidonco of a former snpsrior race. No
weapons or instruments of metal have ever been
discovered in any country inhabited by savages ig?
norant of metallurgy. Pottery afforded a still
stronger argument, and no fragment ,of pottery
had ever been found in Australia, New Zealand or
Polynesia. None of these arts, or the usc of tho
bowvor spinning, was likely to have been aban?
doned if once kuowu. In the same way Sir John
reforred to religion, of which several tribes were
wholly ignorant. Had it once existed among them
it would not have been lost."
The second part of Sir John's Argument was that
improvement has taken placo among savage tribes.
The inhabitants ot the Andaman Islands nave in?
troduced outriggers; nie Wajiji negroes have
learned to make brass; the Tahitians had given up
canibahsm when visited.by Cook, Some of the
American tribes cultivate maize, which is a native
plant-a clear evidence of a step in advance Sub?
stitutes for writing were found among various
tribe?. If thc Mexicans had ever possessed loiters
would they have fallen back on picture writing ?
The numerical systems of savages often amount
to no higher than five; no Australian language.
goes beyond four; the Brazilian tribes cannot
count beyond two. Among civilized nations nu-'
nierioals "are often derived words;, among savages'
they boar the stamp of naJ?|and recent origin.
The most curious and striHHg part of tho argu?
ment remains to be put, that the most civilized
nations were once in a stat* of barbarism. In the
cradle of so-called civilization-Palestine and Syria,
and in India, the remains of a slow age have been
discovered. Why wore stone knivos used by Jew?
ish and Egyptian priest?, just because they had
been once in general nae I The regard paid to .
marriage in different nations waa also a aiguku il?
lustration? of various degrees of progress.
.Maliv savages have not arnveJ at the idea of
marriage. A savage's wives are essentially a part
of his property.- In some cases the tie is of such
a nature that it affords not even a presumption as
to parentage. Many savages recognize Kinship
only on the mother's Bide. .Tins is the case with
tho*South Sea Islanders generally. It was so with
the ancient Celts, (?reeks, Opssaek hordes, Ac. By
tracing up the idea of marriage wo can account for
the two extraordinary customs which wo ti nd in
every part of the world, tbs a man is regarded as
no relation to his own chiilron. Only as things
improved and the probability of parentage became
greater, kinship through Jamalen only was aban?
doned. Sir John then proceeded to roply to the
argument of Haliburton, tlkt the universality of
certain customs which appeared arbitrary proved
they were derived from ai common som ce. He
showed that the belief inubosts, Ac, was easily
accounted for by the condanu t brough which the
poodle weie passing. We ?uld hardly say when
a i'ustom was arbitrary or a%eb>f unnatural. The
Australians do not believe innatural death. When
:t man dies they take il lor granted that he bas
boen destroyed by witchcraft, and tho only doubt
is who io tho culprit. Sir Jouu Lubbock thought
that similar ideas in distant countries owed their
origin, not to the dispersion of the human race,
but to tho original identity of the human mind.

HORRIBLE MURDEH.-Johu Homy M ?Gill was
shot by a freedman at tho residence of Mr. J. P.
Tucker, in this District, ou Sunday night, 21st
ultimo, only surviving a few hours after receiving
thc shot. 'Phd circumstances, as related to ns,
aro substantially as follows : A. J. Hall and J.
PfTucker had a difficulty sometime during tho
day of thc 21st ult., at or near Tucker's r?sidence.
A?J. Hall left, and wont homo about sandown,
and got a freedman, Elbert Brownlee, who
is working on Ins farm, and his gun, and
started back to Tacker's for the purpose of getting
satisfaction, tin their way to locker's they stop?
ped at J. H. Ashley's, and Hall went into (ho house
to get a drink of brandy, while the ucgro remain?
ed ; t the gate. Ashley refused at first to give him
the bronny, 1111111 Hall promised him, upon honor,
if he would, he would go homo. After ho fuiccecd
ed by this strategy in getting the brandy, he went
out to the yate and gave ibo nogro part of it. Hu
then confessed that ho had told e. hu in order to
got th brandy, aud that ho wa? going to Tucker's
to havo satisfaction. -
When he rode up to Tucker's, ho called him oat, but
Capt. D. L. Hall, who was at Tucker's, told Tucker
to go into the houso, and ho would go out and try
to got A. J. Hall to go homo. When Capt. Hall got
near tho gate, where A. J. Hall was, ho saw a man,
whom he took to bo a nc?,ro, Btanding nearby in
tho comer of thc fence, with a gnn. When thc
negro saw that Capt. Hall had discovered him, he
stepped off some six paces from the fenco, and
laced toward Copt. Hall, at the same time bringing
his gun in a shooting position. Capt. Hall told A.
J. Hall several times lo go home, as ho had ueon
Tucker, and the difficulty of the day was nU settled:
but A. J. Hall remained, saying ho intended to
havo satisfaction. Capt. Hall then wont toward
tho freedman, Elbert Brownleo, and asked him to
give up his frun, when the negro swore ho would
not do it, and ordurod him to halt.
About this timo John McGill, who was also at
Tucker's came out to where Capt. Hall was stand?
ing. Capt. Hall again asked tho negro several
times to give up the gun, but the negro would not
do it. At length Capt. Hall toltl him he must give
up the gun-and at tho same time ho and McGill
commenced to advance towards bim. Tho negro
still swore that he would not give up tho gun, and
and ordered thom to halt, aa ha "oelongud to the
Union League, and would shoot." About this
time the nogro aimed his gun at McGill, and dis?
charged it, tho load ontering the uprx-r part ol'
McGill's stomach. This was about 8 o'clock, at
night, and McGill lived till about 2 o'clock next
momiug.
Albert Brownlee has been arrested and lodged
in jail at this place to await his trial; but, etrango
to say, A. J. Hall has been permitted to escape 1
Stranger still, we understand he waa present at
tho "inquest,'' and remained until after tho burial,
without being ariestedl Who is responsible for
such a violation of law and justice as this ? Who
is safo under such administration of law ? Thu
matter is one which the propor authorities should
investigate for thc common good.
