I Fur tliu Tiwei. Minerals in Union?Correspondents?Improvements. Aciu'st 1st, 1870. Mr. Editor I liave read with considerable interest Mr. Sccry's coinmunicutiuu on the mineral resources of the upper portion of Uuion County ; but I was surprised to find ft man who quoted Tuomey, spell Nuckolls with a K. It is ?- gratifying to know that there are sonie gentlemen who have the menus, or the uerve, to invest in any cntcrprizc which will tend toward the Mi Uevclopeuicut of a country's resources; and whatever tuny be one's opinion uboutthe profitableness of mining, every step toward unmasking \ the hidden wcalth.of u country is iu the right direction. Every enterprise which attracts w puuiic luiciii.i'u Mas u icnui'iiuv iu imuiiT mijr migration from ubroad, to introducecapital, and .L to give employment to tlio needy, wliich in the B highway to prosperity. If I am not mistaken, | Mr. Liebcr ia far more explicit than Tuoiney on | the wealth of the mincrat resources in the neigh1 borhood Mr. Seery speaks of. Licber was an V accomplished mineralogist aud went "con fc* umore" into the details of his work, lie was n 1 correspondent of the most distinguished luiucr^ alogists in this country aud Europe, which gave ?!liim great facilities. Lieber was sanguine In tho opinion that taking some point near Limestone Springs and describing a circle ten miles in diameter you would includo the richest min; cral region of the State. Gold, silver, lead and the matrix of the Diamond, are all known to cx> ist in this area, and Licber fellas certain, in his own mind, of his opinion as did the old Monk wlicu ho assured his pool llock that the day was noi^^Mistant when tlicy would all feel thank1 iiil^^Fblcssings they dreamed not of, which were wow hiddcu under their feet. It is gratifying to see a growing disposition * on tho part of your patrons throughout the County to contribute to your colutnus and keep you posted upon the couditiou of the County.? There is not a neighborhood in the County wherein some one may not bo found who can interest your readcrs on some subject, and every one who attempts it, in ever so.smnll a way, wil' be surptised by his owu improvement as well as the interest ho begins to feel in his County's prosperity. No one can read of successful school examinations, Sunday School Exhibitions, the building of new churches and new school houses, without feeling that the moral toue of the County is being elevated. While no one can read ef the introduction of a new machine, an improved agricultural implement, or the development of some new industry, without a hope of rcturuiug prosperity. ^ No man cau read of a big crop of any thing buiug made without a desire to know how it was done and a determination to improve by tjie lesson taug!:i his neighbor. The discussion of every subject is legitimate, t x Let' us have opinions aud facts; but pray indulge in no personalities?call nobody hard names? j nnd nevor suspect auybody of ap improper tutlive. Let your own inteutious be good aud you.' will very rarely have any reason for finding reason to suspect the motives of otIters. A FRIEND. TlUni'TU OF KESPECT.
