AN UNDECAYED BODY Letter from Col Todd, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in Russia. 22J June, 1 1845 Si. PEWEILISISURG, 4th July, MY DEAR Srst:—There is a singular case of an un decayed bodvat Revel, an anciewt German town on the present Russinn shore of the Baltic. T visited the church in which it is preserved, and where it is eabibited to strangers. I t is the body of an old gentle. man in a military dress worn in the year 1710. The body is perfectly dry; some of the teeth and white hairs are in a perfect state. The skin is of a brown color, and was represented, when first exposed to the air, to be very elastic. If you strike the chest or the itgives a Loll°, sound. Tile etackjap are mar y decoyed, but the boots are entire, and the halts of the wig are in a good condition. Some thirty years ago• when the church was repair ed, the coffin was found in a separate room, under a great quantity of furniture and old rubbish. When the •coffin was opened the skin was of a lighter color than it is now. liy a paper found in the coffin, and by dre church records, it was °sect wino:l to be the body of acGenera I Duke de 'Croy, who was a Frenchman, and entered the Russian, service in vhe time of Peter the Great, about the year 1696, and was employed in the war with Sweden. At the bailie of isiurva, in which the Hessians were defeated, fie shut himself up in the fortress of Nurve,and capitulated. After his return from Sweden, he resided as a ptivate per-on in Revel, and incurred heavy debts. At his death in the begin ning of the 18th century, his creditors did ndt allow his friend's to bury the body until his heirs should pay his debts. The body remained in the church, unburied, and was kept in a dry room under ground, and it is suppiiiied by some, that the composition of the soil (which is chalk and limestone) preserved it from cle coy;but I incline to the opinion, that the great degree of cold that is said to have prevailed It; a the time of his death, and the influence of the oak wood of which the coffin was made. contributed to this rare result. It produced a strange feeling on touching the hands and face of a dead body buried 130 years ago, and that re. sembles a petrifaction. I am, with great respect,yours, truly, ss s FRANCIS M•RROC, Jr , esq., Corresponding Sen'y of Nat. Institute, Washington City From the "Milwaukie Sentinel. NAVAL STATION AT MILWAUKIE The Skip Canal—Rock River Rapids—Ship Build ing—Marine Barraci,s, ‘l..c Wedesirc to impress upon the attention of the Gen oral Government the importance of this city as a Na val Station, in connection with the construction of a Ship Canal between Lake Michigan and the 'Mississip pi river. Lust week we endeavored to show the de rided advantage that the government would expeti encoin establishing that communication throne) Wis consin. Many of our arguments in that article adds. red facts that were incontrovertible, and plainly and forcibly preponderated over the Illinois routes. The object of this article is to dwell somewhat more minutely upon the many acknowledged advanta ges Milwaiikie and its vicinity possesses fir Site esheh lishment of a Naval Station. There seem to'be 'fuer points on the river, either of which could be made a vailable, and converted into a Naval establishment nt a compnrwively trilling expense. The dredging at either of these points need not exceed 60,000 cubic pods. which, at 10 cents per yard, would amount to $6.000. Thisis intended for 6 feet deep nn n basis of 4 feet original water, aggregating nine feet in depth on an area of 6000 yards. Suppose this basin to he docked en idrrev sides, it will cost fur a very good dock $2 per foot-3300 feet would be $6600. This would give the government a basin of sufficient size for all Naval purposes of an expense of only $12,600. Land can be obtained at any one of these points fur a mere nom inal sum. sufficient for a Ship Yard, Marine Barracki, Forging establishments, wharves, &c. The great quantity of excellent ship timber with which our immediate forests abound, is another im portant consideration. for it can he procured at a much kss expense than at Chicago, and with greater facility. TI ere are alto Furnaces and H tdentilic machinery in the tipper part of the city, whore many essential requi sites for the estaliliAlment of the Naval Station could be procured at a much less expense than Euced. These four points that we. have alluded to, are so situated as to he almost inaccessible to an enemy on every side, without first destroying n greater part of the city, while they at the same time are handily loca ted on the river, and easy of ingress or egress for our own Navy. Another fact we wish to r'vet upon the •ttention of the Government is, that the construction of the atop canal through Wi women, and the shack water and side cut improvements on Rock River, will npen a channel around the ''Rork River Rapids" on the Mississippi, thereby enabling vessels and stenm boats of a large class to ascend the Mississippi ahove that point which they can only du now in time of ex. ceeding high water. From the Boston Transcript ASTONISHING FACTS IN RELATION TO THE E6YPTI A N PYRAMIDS Thr mnt,thils of which the T., ramids are con•t ruct. nfrord scope for long di.& , ertro ion, because indepen dent of the Pci , nce anti .kill retpiidite for their adop tion, the distance. from which molt of them were brouz,lit prove that each montireVa .way extended all over Egypt and lower Nubia, Knot la Nond; and in r<Ja• tint+ to thi. sol , :io , lt we gather the following facts from Mr. Giddon. new cotir!e. Geologically considered, Egypt is a very peculiar country, the quarrie s of different] kinds of .tone lying at grennt distances from each other,in distinctlymarked localities. If you .V . c a piece of !meat on the lienrh of the Mediterranean, you know ihnt there is no basaltic quarry nearer than between the first and second catnr act, and, when you find a block ef granite nt Memphis. you know that no granite exists bet at the first cataract 'veneer than the peninsula of Mount Sinai. Every civilisation and extended dominion is indicated in these'facts, and when we reflect upon them we almost think we witness the work of I ran.pertai ion going on; that we see the boil hors, and the building themselves in process ill' eremion. The blocks of Arabian limestone esed in the interi or of the pyramids riesre brought Rom the ancient quarries of Tomah, on the opposite side of the Nile, distant about 15 or 2.15 miles from each pyramid. These very rputrities nrevast hills ns it were rscaveted in the living rock, wherein entire armies might encamp, are adorned with now mutilated tabbits teerraiirg the age of their respective npentings lrydiffierent Phenol's, not only show the very beRA whence the stupendous blocks of some of the pyramids were taken; but are in themselves works as wondrous and sublime as the Memphis Pyramids! Nay, nt the very font of these quarries are the countless tombs and Sarchophagi of unnumbered generations of ancient quartymenl These quart ies are of intense archwelogical interest, because the tablets nn them recorded that stone was cut in them for Mephis, oci such a day, such a month, such ayear; of such I king, and these kings begin from 'lie re. note times before the 16th dynasty, and at dif ferent intervals come down with many of the others, till we reach the Ptolumie. epach; and end with Latin inscriptions similar to others in Egypt, attesting that "these quarries were worked" in the propitious era of our Lords and Emperors Serverus and A ntonius. thus enabling, us to descend almost step by step from the re mote antiquity of 2200 years H. C., down to 200 years after the Christian era. The hand of modern berba • rism, prompted by the destructiveness of Mahommed Ali, has since 1830, done more to deface these 'tilde's, to blow up many of these halls in sheer wantonness, than has been effected by time in 4000 years. Every atom of the hundred thousand tons of granite used in pyrifilids was cut at Syene, the first cataract distant 641) miles. The blocks of some of which are 40 feet lung, had to be cut out of their beds with wooden wedges and copper chisels; then polished with emery till they were as smooth as glass, and then carried by land half a mile to the river—placed on rafts and floated down 640 miles to Memphis— brought by canal to the foot of the'Lybianchnin--con veyen by land over gigantic causeways from one mile to three in length to the pyramids for which they were intended, and then elevated by machinery and placed in their present position, with a skill and mnsanic preci• sion that has confounded the most scientific European engineer with amazement. The basalt sarcophagi that once held the mummy of the Pharaohs, in the inmost recesses of these pyra midal mausoleums, 84 feat long by 3i broad, and 3 deep, were all brought from Lower Nubia, and from the basaltic quarries of the 2d cataract, not nearer than 750 miles up the river! Looking into the interior of the pyramids there is much to stagger belief —to excite our admiration In the pyramid of three steps, the upper beams that Support the roof of the chamber are of oak. larch and cedar, not one of which trees grow in Egypt, and es tablish the fact of the timber trade with Illyria, Asia Minor and Lebanon in ages long before Abraham.— In the fragments of a mummy the cloth is found to be saturated with "Pissasphaltum"—Jew's pitch or bitu men Judiacum, compounded of vegetable pitch from the Archipelago, and of asphaltum of the Dead Sea in Palestine; we find Gum Arabic that does not grovi less than 1200 miles front the Pyramid, attesting that commerce with Uprper Nubia. The gold leaf came from the mines of Suakin on the Red St-a, or from remote Fezogla. The liquor which cleaned out the body of thomntrimy was codria, the fluid. rosin of the pinus cedrus—that grows not nearer than Syria. The spices send us to the Indian Ocean—the aloes to Succatra—iberintiemon toCeylon, the ancient Taprohne—and then the arts and sciences brought tobear upon the pyramids that must have or rived at perfection long before that day, are not only themes fur endless reflections, but (Nip us to confess that in chronology we ure but Children.
