- - FOR THE REGISTER,
Gentlemen: We are; taught from our
boyhood to look wlha curiosity somewhat
akm to astanishmenVan the antiquities of
they Old World, and many have followed
with anxiety, the anttquarian,-as lie search
ed with enthusiasm into the hidden myste
ries of those nations, the recollection of
whose existence would long since have pass
ed away,wer it hot for the splendid monu
ments of architectural genius -which still
bespeak the; height of civilization and gran
deur to which they arose. - Nor are we at
tracted by the brightness only which "shone
during the epoch that .witnessed the erec
tion of sack splendid memorials of-liuman
power. The deep and impenetrable dark
ness which followed, strikes the mind with
astonishment inexpressible; That', finch
glory should tiavc given way to Such insig
nificance such light, to darkness such
strengthc.to veakness-r-and such grandeur
and originality in design, to a contemptible
and grovelling imitation, is truly inexplicable-
BuVse it is. Egypt, which jrave
the arts and sciences to Greece, and trans
mitted to the empire of Rome her wisest
and best laws Egypt,- whose pyramids
and mausoleums- whose splendid cities
and hundred gates bespeak genius and
pywer unsurpassed, was doomed to a fate,
the degradation of which is too well known.
How sudden are the reverses of human for
tune ! '
Such reflections would naturally be eli
cited, by an examination of a late workoh
the ".Antiquities of Mexico", presenting
ueh a striking analogy to those . of the Old
ITT- 11 .1 T 1 " I ,1 e :s
v onu, jnax no ooudi xne curiosity ox miwy
will 4ie awakened. The discoveries, as far
as they have gone, exhibit much which is
. calculated to elicit interest and invite specu
lation. And that such a field for inquiry
may hot be closed until the hidden trea
sures of antiquarian knowledge which ap
pear to exist in Mexico, are brought to
light, will be desired by all. Several per
sons, with much labor, have attempted a
delineation of these curious remains, among
whom are Dupaix, Nebel, and Lord Kings
borough. The work of the latter person is
very voluminous, exhibiting however,. but
little ability in the arrangement and exami
nation of the subject. Each has his favor-
ite theory; and supports it with all the zeal
and ability of.which he is master. "No one,
whatever may be his opinions in relation to
the extraordinary people "which mast once
have existed in Mexico and the western
parts of South America, can help being
struck with the great resemblance between
their remains and those of the Egyptians.
This is particularly striking in the;r archi
tecture and hireoglyphicai relics. Palaces,
at once noble in their structure and beauti
ful in their proportions and decorations-
Idols and sculptures, presenting a most
striking analogy in their posture and form
to the monumental slyle and statuary of E
gypt and Phoenicia : arid above all, the two
great branches of hieroglyphical language,
resembling in many striking instances, those
of the Eastern Hemisphere, which have
long puzzled-the learned and curious.. ISor
do they exhibit less power. Pyramids are
founds in brany parts of Mexico equally as
stupendous and durable as those of Egypt.
Some are said to be of larger base than, the
Egyptian.. And within these immense struc
tures are! tov be found the same deposito
ries or 'sanctuaries, which characterized
those of the east. Viaducts, aqueducts, ar
tificial roads, graduated and levelled after
the rrrannei of our rail roads, and somewhat
resembling the military' ways of the Ro
mansbridges constructed of the strongest
& most durable materials, exhibiting strokes
of the most polished architefi tarethe key
stone the arch, and architrave all shew
that there once lived in this country a peo
ple who had advanced very far in civiliza
tion and refinement. Nor does the analogy
end here. It extends to their costume, and
the traces of their rellgiousceremornes.
The breastplate and collar of this ancient
people, were generally decorated with sym
bolical representations of the Sun. The
bracelets, .anklets and sandals; very much
resemble those of Egypt : some of the san-
iois -attorning, a covering for the leg as hirh
as the knee and the apron, which- appears
io have been common, exhibits : marks of
tne greatest richness: decorated vith orn
aments of the most costly kind ; f gold, sil
ver and jewels, 1I being used to gi veeffect.

strong traces Of civilization, naturally indu
ces thesmquiry , who could these people
have been ?. It may be proper to rerirark,'
that nation ihich have armed tb the high
est point Of civilization" never retrograde to
hafbarism. They may be' expelled, ' and
Wbarians may take their places, or they
may fall from their high estate', to an
inferior but they never go back to . com
plete barbarism iwe have no instance on
record. There will always be left florae
traces of fornier glory, andv those very "mo
nument's -becoming fixed to the soil,, im
movable and indestructible exhibiting a
strong contrast between the two eras those
very monuments, which bespeak their in
famy, will tend more than any thing else
to kindle and keep alive the spark of their
pristine splendor. -The Mexicans were just
emerging from barbarism. Their costume
physiognomy architecture and religion,
all differed materially from those of the
people whose. an tiouities .we have iust-de-
scribed. They must then have flourished
centuries before the Mexicans. Every thing
connected with them bears the stamp of the
greatest antiquity. But ?Aothey were
whence 'they ; -originated,- and' where they
nourished, antiquarians have come to no
definitive conclusion. One theory ia, that
they were descendants of the Ten Tribes
another, that they owginatQd, from the -E
gyptians and a third, that iheir ancestors
were the celebratedl Cyislepean giants or
Masons, who wandered frera country to
country, carrying with them the traces of
their splendid Architecture. Each of these
theories - is plausibly supported, and the
reader is left in doubt as to which is entitled
to the most credit, being firmly convinced
however, of the utter impossibility of ever
determining conclusiTemwhat is their his
torw- But after all, -we cannot expel from
our mind a curiosity to know something
morejf a people over whose history, revo
lutions and time have thrown such an im
penetrable . veil ol oblivion. YVc leel an
involuntary anxiety to know who were their
heroes their statesmen and their artists
what their deeds in arms their glory their
eloquence and their religion. In fine, we
crave the pen of the historian to leadus into
the midst of thatbusv, bustlintr crovd,who
ages and ages past, reared those splendid
structures whose remains are now the ad
miration of so many thousands. .And who
knows, but in their day, they could point
to their C&sar . and Napoleon-r-that they
hung with rapture on. the words of their
Tully and JDemosthenes and that they ga
zed in astonishment on the life-giving pow
er of the chisel of their Phidias and Praxi
teles.. But they had nb Homer to write
their story : and the same hand which is
now gradually annihilating the race which
succeeded to their country, ultimately era
sed every vestige of their existence, except
those enduring monuments exhibiting the
.Hills 10 feet apart 2, 3, and at most 4
plants only to remain in the hill, and stand
ing apart from each other : thinned by the
time the plants have 6 leaves.' .
- If the season be dry, dig down by the
side of' the hills nearly as deep as the Bot
tom of the holes, and rat-ir a ---bucket or
two of-water filling1 thehole' after the wa
ter is absorbed : as soon as the-yellow bug
is gone, take away the sand ' and -supply its
place with soil. This is all that can be
done -in the hill. y: v r . "
When the plant has six leaves, foke off
the centre shoot-with the point of a shatp
penknife,' and when" the lateral shoots are
6ix inches, long, take off all but three
when-these begin to fall to the ground,: se-
cure tnem aown witn cross sucks : ana as
hev advance, spade up the ground a foot
deep inttdvance of the viries.
Once m every 3 or 4 feet, put a shovel
till of soil on a leaf joint of the vine (rfot
covenner up on both sides ot thO leal : it
this is kept moist, it will take root. The
ends of the vines to be kept to the around
by Cross sticks.
Let the vihes spread from the hills so as
to coverthe whole gronnd.
If the side branches of the main vines are
inclined to head up, and not keep to the
ground, take them off, say a foot from the
main vine, -
All pruning to be done in the middle of
the day when the sun shines.
Let no melon set within 4 or 5 feet from
the root; and then only one on a lateral
branch, three to a plant. Let the vine run
on as far as it will, keepingit to the ground:
permit no melon to grow that is deformed :
pull off no male blossoms.
.When: the melon is nearly to rts size,
others may be permitted to set on the same
vine, and a second crop raised. I should
think the vines might be made to grow
from 20 to-30 feet long.
Great pains should be taken that the vines
are not removed or trod upon.
The early ut small melons. Let the
melons set at the 2d or3d leaf-joint from
the root, and take the vine off twoioints
beyond the melons.
To increase the number of eantelotrpes.
Take off all the melons that set withiA two
feet of the roots.
These may be planted 6 feet apart, 4 to
the hill, and renuire no particular attention.
Sand on the hills is ne of the best pre
ventatives asrainst the yellow ' bup;, though
not entirely a pre Tentative.
It is useful to plant pumpkin or squash
seeds near the hills for the bugs--taking
care; to pull, them up as soon as the bugs
are gone. I
Canteloupes should not b&.planted nearer
than 20 yards tomuskmelons or cucumbers.
To improve your seed, save none but
from the very best melons. . -
