TUE PHONIC1ANS AND LEISH THE FKST EXPLORERS. A LECTURE, BY RT. REV. P. N. LYNCH, BISHOP OF CHARLESTON, DELIVERED MONDAY, JAN. 13, 18U7. TN BEHALF OF THE H DIES' MUTUAL AID ASSOCIATION. [REPORTED SPECIALLY FOB THE DAILY NE WS.] Bishop Lynch, having been presented to the audience by General Conner, said : The mysterious is always fascinating. Wc love to look on a truth so broad, that its .irita pass bevond our vision. Wc love to 600 thc lightning flash of a truth from the deptl s of thc dark obscuritv beforo us. It is the prompt? ing of that nature" which God has given us-of an intelligence which seeks ever to approach the infinite. America is a land of mysteries. Three aun drcl and seventv-five years ago, the rivi,?zed world was startled by the return of Columbus, bringing inhabitants from a nowland. Wbenco carno those men ? What was their origin 1 As other navigators and explorers found them fishing in the seas of either Pole, or pursuing wild game in tho Tomperate Zone, or building vast cities and tilling vast fields in Mexico, Central America and Peru, so mon still ask ?nore earnestly, Whence carno these mon ? It is a question that has fascinated the mind ) and hearts of scholars in every land, and many have boon the solutions given. Some have brought them by way of the Islands of Polyne? sia, others by way of Behring Straits, and others 6tiU, in later days, aBsert that Amorica, like manv another land, had its own Adata and Eve. lt is not formo to discuss this last ques? tion. I take it for granted that God made all men of one blood. I feel freo to hold that the first inhabit ants of America came hither a crees tho Alan tic from the East. Various reasons lead my mind in this direction. First: Aro tho words of Moses, the earliest-in fact, thu only historical record of tho first ages of mar, tell? ing ns how tho sons of Japhet occupiel thc islands and lands of the Gentiles, and then, in tho testimony of Tacitus, who summed up the knowledge of tho heathen literature cn this subject, declaring that originally "m in mi? grated from land to land by water rather than by land." There is always an impulse in man governing tho migration of masses, whereby, if circumstances allow it, they alwaya move westward-not 'o tho north or ?outh, and much less to the east. When did they come ? The original record of man already roferred o, informs us that in the beginning, tho nor? ma) life of man was nine hundred yoars; that after the deluge, owing possibly to chanpe? in? troduced by that cataclysm in the atnie sphere or in physical conditions, man's lifo was gradu? ally shortened until it reached tho term which lias since been established. During this inter? mediate transitorial period, the human system ivas in a plastic stage, which I can only com? pare to the frame of a youth that will y i ?ld in a measure to accident or disease, and tako on new forms, oven to distortion, without, dying; while tho same accidents or diseases, if endur? ad by a full grown man, would either be enst off without permanent iujury, or he would die under them. So, in that transitorial poriod; the varied influences of elimo and tho t afferent, modes of life in different lands, might and would havo produced in the men varioc s modi? fications and changes which thc same in luences could not produco if man's system hrd taken its normal state. Considering the similarity of the lil lians in America with the aboriginal mimbi :ants of either shore of the Mediterranean, and with the Europeans at its eastern end, the lecturer thought that the first settlers cf America com? ing from those portions had migrated towards the end of tho transitional period, when but little time waa left to work changes in the typo of man. He ! ur thor saw that all of thc Indians of America are essentially of the same typo, and that, therefore, their transmigiation to these regions had taken place after i.he close of the time when the various climes and con? ditions had power to change the human sys? tem. The Bishop went on to say that a~noag tho nations of the East of ABia, there was no au? thentic record that in ancieut times they lind uo memory of tho existenco of America or nf men having passed fr >m other lands to that listant continont. On thc contrary, in Europe iud Africa such traditions arc found. He spoke of thc Phoenicians, of their charac? ter, their works, their adventurous conimorco, md the secrecy with which they kopt especially their knowledge of navigation and of geography from the surrounding peoples. '1 hey had sailed along either toa. t of the Mediterranean md planted colonies. Issuing from the Straits of Gibraltar, they had planted still ether colo? nies on the coasts of Spain antLPortugal. They bad breasted thc storms of thc' Bay of Biscay, landed in Ireland, in Cornwall, and the Ork? neys, and turning south, they Iud passed along tho western coast of Africa, and sought gold where merchants seek it to-day. They had sailed around the Cape of Good Hope, trading as they wandered, and wintering, when necessary, would land at somo port of their own in the Red Sea or tho Persian Gulf. Did any Phoenician mariner issuing from the Straits of Gibraltar ever dare to breast the At? lantic and seek what could be found in thc far West ? Of Phoenician records we have none, but there is a twilight of their literature left to us in Egyptian, Grecian and Ro? man hterature, and by that twilight we dimly seo in the far West a land termed Ogygia or Atlantis, of vast extent, watered by grand rivers, exceeding in exton; the Nilo, having many settlements and governmental connection with Lybia; and Diadorua Securus, Plato, Origen, Porphyry and others, mention this fact. The tradition waa that in some con? vulsion of naturo, Atlantis had su ak beneath tho waters of the Atlautic, and could no more be found by men. This was probably but a fancy of tho" Grecian mind, based on the fact that some Grocian or Egyptian mariner, sail? ing in the track of the Phoenicians, had reach id Mare Sargosso, tho vast plain of sea-wocd in mid-Atlantic which Columbus found, and which frightened his sailors, but which every mariner still finds in the aame latit udes. This the Greok took to be the relics ol' tho sunken Atlantis, and was turned back in despair. But if thc Phoenicians came, where arc their monuments? Commerce rarely erects monu? ments that will stand the storms and winters of throe thousand years; yet there aro many mystorios in America that turn our thoughts towards the Phoenician commerce. The gold mineB of North Carolina wero worked before Columbus came. Those of Alabama were work? ed. The copper mmes o? Lake Superior were worked on a large scale. Trench Da were open sd, galleries cut, vast amounts of ore taken away, and other large masses partially moved towards the entronco- and left behind. Who did all this work? Certaintly, not tho Indians. No one drean s that thoy were such miners. Certainly, none coane from tho weet-from Asia, crossing the Pacific, and then the Rocky Mountains and tho desert to reach Lake Superior, extri :ate this oro, and bear back th3 materia: hy? the route they came. These miners must, therefore, have como from thc ;ast, and who :ould they be, if nut the Phoenicians. Tyro and Sidom, and afterwrxds Carthage, toll with such suddenness as to leave Phoouician colonies throughout the world abandoned like he fragments of a WTeck. Whf ,t waB tho fate >f this colony which we suppose to have been ?ere. Ita chief focus waa, of course, these ni?era of Lake Suptrior. As doubt aiid ap jrehonsion etolo over their minda, because of he long coutinued cessation of intercourse, he outstanding points may hava been gather id into tho ceutre. Messengers may have been ont to tho shore who returned without ti? lings. Others may have embarked upon the icoau to seek their" futherland, ?md have never 'eturned. At least, tho vast m altitude moved m together, slowly marching by thc route by vhich they had come. In fact, starting from these mines of Lake Superior, ?vo Hud down the Soioto, and Ohio md Mississippi, through Missouri and Ken ucky, all thc way to Natch DZ, remnants of mounds, fortifications, altars and sepulchres >f auch character as to show that they aro the voik of a vast mass of people having a com uou government, a common religion, much nilitaiy skill, and a knowledge of agriculture. Reaching Natchez, this colony mav have lost ill hope, and giving themselves up to tho uni .crsal human instinct, may havo turned their acca westward, and wo follow them by the racing of their mounds and works through Texas and Chihuahua and Aril oua and Sonora, rhcre they touched the Gulf cf California and bores of the Pacific. Forced ta turn westward, ve follow them to Moxico and Yucatan, fhcro Cortcz found their descendants in a tato of civilization wLich fiL'ed bim ni\d his leoplo with astonishment. Yet, great as was his wonder, that of thc rcbooTogist is still greater; tor, in these ruins ,ud vestiges of Mexican and Central American ivilization, he finds remarkaMo traits of coin idence with the Phoenician type In tho frim i' building, in thc form of temples, xn thc itcs of sacrifices, and in their astronomical iieasuremcnt of time-coincidences which nade thc learned Humboldt declare thia to bo one of tho mont abstruse and important prob? lems tor tho investigation of thc scholars of tito civilized world. This much may bo called the ancient history of America. Now, wo come down to thc Alid dlo Ages. There was, then, a nation equally Sromiueut with tho Phoenicians of old-tho brtherncrs or Scandinavians, who, though so small originally as to be overlooked by Tacitus, grow, in a few centuries, to bo a warlike, pow? erful, and aggressiv? people They took the Orknoys; they seized part of England; they banded for two hundred years in Ireland. They planted their settlements along tho coasts of Ireland, Belgium and Franco, and other settle? ments on the coast of Spain. They entered tho Mediterranean, and established a kingdom in Sicily, another kingdom in Apulia, and planted their colonies everywhere. They de? feated the Greeks in Epirus, and carried con? sternation to tho wails of Constantinople. Those people, loving the sea beyond all things, had, in the year 1770, taken possession ot Iceland-a laud'of such fierce conflict of nature as to correspond with their own fierce nature; a land of mingled snows and torrid heat. Hore they fixed themselves. Elsewhere they became blended, moro or less, with tho populations they conquered, but Iceland was their own, and u?itil the end of tho last centu? ry they have preserved theil- language, their national customs and literature. Many man? uscripts, taken from tho convents of Iceland, I havo been published by the Antiquarinn Socie? ty of Copenhagen, and in them wo find start? ling notices of America. In tho year 87C a Norwegian mariner discovered Greenland, which he describes as "a pleasant land, beau? tiful to look on, covered with verdure, from whence its name." Others soon followed. By the year 1000 there was a largo settlement, with which Iceland and Norway had frequent communication. Tho latest record of this set? tlement is a letter written in tho year 140G, sta? ting the death of their bishop, "thc extent of tb?i diocese comprising twolve parishes, nnd ninety villages or hamlets, and assigning an? other" bishop. In fact, they had received a bishop in 1110, and it was tho sixteenth bishop in succession who had died. Thc seventeenth wau appointed, and in duo time sailed from Norway. Another manuscript gives an account of his efforts to reach his Seo. He found Green? land, but it was no longer such as it had been. The coast was ruggod and rocky; snow covered tho hills, and glaciers entered the sea from every gorge and ravine. After coasting along be? wildered and sad, tho bishop at last ordered tho prow of his boat to be turned back towards Norway, and, tho Scandanavian Sagas sang, how a winter of cold had como on the moun? tains ot Greenland, not to be uncovered until the days of judgment. In later days the Danes have established set? tlements on tho western coast of Greenland, now more mild. In the year 1826 some Danish officers set out across Greonland towards the interior and tho eastern coast. They came upon tho foundation of a church and other buildings, and upon numerous tombs, some with inscriptions. This is all that remains of that ancient colony. But its history "informs us of something more. About tho year 970, ono Gunnbjorno, Becking to roach his father in Greenland, was driven by tempests for, far to tho south. When the weather cleared, and ho could steer north? ward, he saw on Ins left "a land fair to look on, covered with rich woods." Ho passed it. Threo days moro the open sea brought him to another land, with whito cliffs and hills cover? ed by trees. Ho coasted along this land also, and left it. Two days more brought him lo a third land, rocky, and with much snow and ice. Leaving this, four days' vovage at sea brought him to his father iu Greenland. Not many years afterwards, by order of the Scandinavian monarch, other navigators sought these lands. They reached tho first, and call? ed it Holjoland. It was Labrador. Next was Martland, now Nova Scotia. Finally they reached thc third, or farthest ono, and they called it Vinland, tho good. Hero, in the course of timo, a colony was established, and voyages thither wcro mado from Iceland and Green? land. Here, in 1121, Eric, Bisnop of Green? land, came in discharge of his pas-oral func? tions. Thc latest voyago mentioned iu the manuscripts is in 1317. Whether others fol? lowed, or why they ceased, wo do not yet know. As a voyager along a coast sccs looming up cape after capo, so discovery after discovery comes to us. Thoso Scandinavian sailors tell us something more. They Bay that south of England and further buck, was another land which they called, Irlanda et Milda or Huit-ra Alannaland-or Whito Man's Land-which was visited from Ireland in days gono by. Another manuscript gives us its geographical position. Another tolls us hew a .Scandinavian prince of renown disappeared from lus countrymen, nnd wont to Hui t-ra-Manuu land, and there attained to a position of command. A third manuscript relatos how certain Scandinavians, making an exploration to tho south of Vinland, had oap turod a number of youths, whom they Drought with them, instructed, baptized, and mado part of their community. These youths said, that iu their own land they knew of men dressed in long white robes, who boro banners and saug alouu as they walked in procession. It is tantalizing to have such au indication as thiB and not to have moro. But the Ii ish records ore a greater mystery than oven Ameri- t can history. In Ireland for centuries to have c possession of un Irish manuscript was Buffi ciout proof of treason to call for death. To s teach a man to read or write Irish was suffi? cient cause, in tho first instance, for imprison? ment, whilo a second conviction resulted in death. Wherovcr a manuscript was fouud it wai consigned to tho flamea, and hence it has come to puss that tho greater number of Irish - manuscripts in exiBtonco aro probably outside of Ireland, in the libraries of France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. What these manuscripts may yet disclose, no ono can say. I have road a Latin hymn, giving an ncount how St. Brendan, a monk with numerous aB- 1 sociates, sailed from the southwest of Ireland, 1 was seven years absent, and then returned to die in his own home. But whither ho had \ gone, or what ho had done, thora was no men? tion made. Perhaps it was ho and his band, or some other similar band, of whom those youths spoko as going through tho land, droas od in long white robes, chanting aloud in pro cession the praises of God. Had I time I might rotor to tho traditious of ^ dc sico, and, perhaps, of Indian tribes in ro- f gt il to visits of whito mon from thc East . coming in boats to this continont before Co- } lunibuH roached it. But I must close. Wo mav 1 suppose that among tho oarly settlers on the 1 shores of tho Mediterranean thcio remains 8omo niomory of their brethren who had . crossed the Atlantic to their settlements; that guided by this, tho early Phoenicians reached Atalantis; that even long after their day tho memory of their voyages had not died out ' among descendants of Phoenician colonioa tn Ireland; that the Irish voyagers to Huit-re Manualand taught its existence to tho Scandi? navians and Northmen, and I think that Co? lumbus learned the fact from the Scandinavians, I for in the year 1177, filtecn years before his voyago, ho "visited Iceland, whero wore still < living men who had walked on American soil. 1 Tho laud was full ot the traditions of Green- ' land, of Martland, and Vinland. If, as was his , custom, hu went to a convent library he , might thtre read, as wo still read, such t a sontence as this : "Westward of tho pillars t c* Hercules, and somewhat to tho north, tho i first land o be made is Vinland thc good." ' This is thc only satisfactory explanation of what is otherwise ruin and illegible in history. 1 Prescott vividly narrates thc disaffection among j the Bailors, the terror that filled their minds, , and how even nature seemed to turn against , him, when tho needle deserted the pole ; how t tho men almost mutinied, and yet Columbus < stood firm. * He never doubted, and seemed i incapable of doubt. This was impossible if ho ! was impelled only by a theory; but wo can un- J derstand it if he knew that pcrsovoranco must J lead to success, and that there was a laud bc- t fore him which other men had visited.

Sentinel COTTON STEALING.-For some time there has boen a regular system of fraud carried on along tho wharves that has incited the wharf? ingers to exercise extra precautions. Several parties have been arrested recently for having stolen cotton samples, but this seems to have had no effect on the cotton thioyos. They have alwaj B found it an easy matter to sell their sam? ples, and the theft has been carried on exten? sively. In former times the unlawful purchase and sale of sample cotton was made a crime, but at present any one who robs a cotton bale can find a purchaser for his plunder. There are several junk-shops along the wharves that deal in this business, and if the municipal au? thorities would pass an ordinance prohibiting this traffic or putting a heavy fine upon the sale, there would be a visible decrease in the cotton stealing. No ono should be allowed to buy loose cotton unless they have a special licenso to that effect, and if this ordinance was carried out the oity revenue would be increasod and the cotton owners would be protected.
