uuL?ivim ST u, ' It is to fe? Loped Shat tho Governor will oall the attention of the Legislature in his message to the incompleteness of the geological nurvey of the State,' that waa undertaken by the late Oscarlieber, "Mineralogical, Geological and Agricul? tural Surveyor of the State." Tbe min? ing interest'of the State has assumed great proportions in the last few years, and tbo attention of foreign capitalists has been dirac tod to our shores. They have, however, na guarantee of tbe re? ports that have gone abroad of tbe mi? neral wealth of the country, and eagerly await somo official Announcement of the extent of the jfejme. , AJl'.tbe States of our Uni?n novo ' thoir geological survey, either completed'or in operation, and tho State of Sooth Carol jua ol? o uki not, with Quoh wealth awaiting development, bo backward in following iu'tbe foot? steps of her sisters. Loss IN Run AI, POPULATION.-The New York journals aro deploring the loss of rural population ia tho Empire State. The Tribune exhibito thio loss by a tablo, presenting tho comparativo population of tho census of I860 and 1870, in one third of the Counties in that State, which shows that there, has boon nu actual loss in population, und nih rum that "in another third there has been no considerable increase." This journal affirms that as a whole, the rural popula? tion of New York "jins not increased since 1860, and has increased but little sinco 1830;" the gain is confessed to bo confined to the larger cities aud towns, and this interpreted to mean: "More of otir people now work in shops and fae torios, fewer on farms thau formerly." Why should fewer work on farms than formerly, when tho increase of thoso who live in oities and towns,' who work in shops and factories, creates larger marketa and increased demands for farm products? It is not because of a national policy-a proteotive polioy, which wars against the labor of the farmer, and fos? ters occupation in shops and factories. If labor upon the farm was equally ns profitable as labor in shops and factories, would not farm population have increas? ed pari passa y those who work ou tho farm and in the shops and factory in? creasing in the saine ratio? Is it not olear that tho shop and the factory is fostered at the expense of the farm? Is not this the whole gist of the protective policy-tax the farmer to enrich those who work in shops and factories? And is it strange, under such a policy, en? forced by all the power of the Govern? ment, that there should bo an increase iu tho population aa to those who work iu shops and factories, and a decrease as to tho producers who work ou farms? ACCIDENTAL- DISCOVEBIES.-Blaucort says that the making of plate glass was suggested by the fact of u workman hap? pening to break a crucible filled with melted glass. Tho fluid ran under ona of the large flug-stoues with which the floor was paved. On raising the stone to re? cover the glass, it was found in tho form ofap'ute, such as could not be produced by the ordinary process of blowiug. Glass pearls, though among the most beautiful, inexpensive and common or? naments worn by the ladies, is produced by a very singular process. In 1656 r. Venetian, named Jacquiti, discovered that tho scales of a Ssh called bleak-fish, possessed the property of communicating a pearly hue to the water. He fouud by experimenting that beads dipped into this water assumed, wben dried, the ap? pearance of pearls. It proved, however, that the pearly ooat, when placed out? side, waB easily rubbed off; and tho uext improvement was to make the beads hollow.- The making of these beads is carried on to this day in Venice. Tho beads are ali blown separately. By means of a. small tube the insides are delicately coated with the pearly liquid, and a wax coating ia placed over that. It requires the scales of 4,000 Ash to produce half a pint of the liquid, to which a small quantity of sal-ainmoaia and isinglass aro af to rwards added. Lundy Foot, the celebrated snuff manufacturer, originally kept a small tobacconist shop at Limerick. On ono night his honse, which was uninsured, was burned to the ground. As ho con? templated the smoking ruins ou tho fol lowing morning, in a state bordering on despair, some of the poor neighbors, groping among the embers for what they oonld find, stumbled upon several canisters of unconsumed, but half-baked snuff, which they tried, and found it so pleasant to their noses that they loaded their waistcoat pockets with it. Landy Foot, aroused from his stupor, imitated their example, took a pinch of his own property, when he was struck by tho superior pungency and flavor it had ac? quired from the great heat to which it had been exposed. Acting upon tho hint, he took another houso iu u piuco called Black Yard, erected ovens, and set about tbe manufacture of that high-dried commodity which soon became widely known as Black Yard snuff. Eventually bo took a larger houso in Dublin, und making his customers pay literally through tho uose, amassed a great for? tune for having been ruined. They had a genuine sensation ut Niagara Falls, on Sunday. A lady, apparently about thirty live years of age, well dressod aud line-looking, commit? ted suicide by jumping from tho Goat .Island Bridge, her body going over tho falls. She was stopping at tho Spencer Houso, and had registered her uume au Mrs. Hill, from Chicago, Illinois. mn. mamx: xon, parries, ?&xa ing? gr.

He, also, indirectly appeals to the oolored people; I can assert, posi? tively, that, so far as the oolored man is concerned, be made a material difference in the prices paid for labor. The prin? ters received full wages-the same as other printing establishments paid while the colored mah was paid less. If this should ho contradicted, we will simply call upon a colored member of tho Legislature to prove it. A LOOKER ON. Corrcipoadence ot tho Pticentx. GHEENVIIJIJE, S. C., November 25. Audy Hill, colored, was executed to-day, betwoen 12 and 1, in the enclosure of the jail lot, in this city, in presence of a large concourao of people. It was expeoted by many that ho would have confessed his participation in tho awful deed for which he suffered. Tino to his well known character, even on the brink of etornity, he did not acknowledge his guilt, neither did hu positively deny it; but, iu a few words, endeavored to in? volve others. At his own signal, he was precipitated from tho platform; very lit? tle muscular motion was exhibited. After hanging twenty minutes, the body was examined by Dra. Hoke and Jones, who pronounced life extinct; in ten minutes more, the body was placed in the coffin nud removed by his rotativos. All ar? rangements wore effectively carried out. Much credit is due to our worthy Coro? ner-Henry Smith, Esq.-for promptly assuming tho duties of Sheriff, in the emergency, and who, aided by his com? petent deputy, W. T. Shumate, Esq., quietly and firmly performed the unplea? sant duty imposed by law. A posse of 100 resolute citizens, nuder command of Maj. T. B. Ferguson, wcrosummonod to surround tho enclosure Everything passed off with the utmost quiet. About 1 o'clock this morning, a fire broke out at the beautiful suburban resi? dence of our estcomod fellow-citizen, Kev. Jamos P. Boyce, in tho extreme North-eastern part of our city. It proved to be a largo two-story wooden building, nsed partly us a kitchen, rooms for ser? vants, etc., adjacent to the family man? sion. Tho night was very stormy, and the firo distant, but our fire engines were brought into operation as promptly as possible, and by vigorous and well-direct ed efforts, the mausion and surrounding buildings were saved; but the building on fifo was entirely consumed. Loss 82,500-insured for 81,000. M. THE SPIRIT OP THE ACJE.-Wo often hear tho spirit of the age adverted to in an indefinite manner, as though it were a mysterious essence, tho influence of which, porvadiug. tho world, is under? stood by everybody. Republicans and Democrats aro apt to assert that they embody this spirit-that liberty, equali? ty, and tho inalienable rights of man, emblazoning their banners, aro tho soul of their parties. But n cool, calm question may arise as to this assumption, which remains to bo coolly und calmly answered. If it be wise nud judicious for one nation to ab? jure kingly or mouarchial rule, is it in accordance with tho gonius of a people educated to another form of government, averse to political changes, and attached to tho time-honorod usages of a long aud noble lino of ancestors? Does the irresistible spirit of the age demand that these should fall iuto Democratic or Re? publican ranks? By no means. That which suits us, may be repellant to our neighbor, and be is no less a fool than a tyrant, who chooses for-a neigh? bor either his social or political codes. It is well for all men, if possible, to con? tine their attention to private- and per? sonal mutters. The curso of our own oountry has been a mushroom brood of raw politicians. Thcso embrace a vast concourse, many of whom number among their highest accomplishments their capacity to vote, talk politics and fan excitement. Indus? trious and honest men, who adhere to their own avocations, ignoring bluster and nil the rhodomontade about (so called) civil rights-condemned by ono party and admired by another-are the ouly truly wise mon in a perverse, war making generation. Tho spirit of the age, forsooth! what is it? Dominion by brute force, fire and sword. Are not these desolating Europe at thia very time? Have they not re? cently desolated our own country? We heard, yenrs ago, tho doctrine advocated that the world was too enlightened for war-that it was something more savago thau modern progress, would tolerate Vain fallacy! This same modern pro? gress bas enrichod our soil with dead men. Thin narnu resort to arms is dye? ing with blood tho ancient soil of Eu? ropa. Tbc spirit of the age is doubtless moro utiliariun than it was formerly-at least in America. Formerly the success of the experiment of self-government interest? ed us. In this section wo have ceased to approve altogether the cou iso pursued by tho Federal Government, and begin to entertain serious doubts whether we shall ever have a pure administration of it, unaffected by sectional and party biases. Tho consequence is, that our people, indifferent to politics, are every? where devoting themselves to tho ad? vancement of the material interests of tho country, and, if not interfered with by Government, this chango in the direction of tho national energies may ultimately provo beneficial.
