| GEOLOGICAL AND TYPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OF
THE STATE OF VERMoNr.-At the October session
of the legislature of this 1886, in pursuance of
a resolution introduced by Mr. Watson, one of the
Senators from the county of Bennington, the Gov
ernor was requested TO take measures TO ascertain
the expense of geological and Typographical sur
vey OF this state. His exceency, in pursuance Of
this request addressed letters to several scientific
gentlemen and received answers which were sub
mied to the legislature at their last session, and
ordered TO be printed, for the information Of the
people Prof. Benedict, oft the Vermont University,
entered into The subject extensively, and made
very elaborate report to the Governor, IN which
estimate is made of the cost OF the Survey, which
is SIS 900. Other States around us, some of them
long since, have caused Survey of their territory,
and the result, in has developed rich
treasures in the bowels of the earth, before
known to man. The following remarks from the
Woodstock Mercury are so much to the point, that
we transfer them columns -
The expense may, ut first sight, seem to be
siderable, but when compared with the probable ad-
vantages, which may be reasonably expected To
suit from the work, it will not be found any obsia
Gle 20 the undertaking,-especially of geological
survey. There is no doubt that Vermont is rich in
mineral wealth. Her treasures lie buried beneath
her massey rocks and in the recesses of her rugged
mountains and, from time to time, developed
only accident reveals them. A scientific scrnt-
ny 'uld detect mines of wealth, which Otherwise
may the light. The indications are very
satisfactory the eye of the mineralogst that Yer
mon: promises more than almost any state in the
union. Already out manufactures Of iron and cop.
peras very consderable-and manganese and
other valuable mineral substances have already been
discovered. So long as indications of intrinsic
riches in the earth are so numerous and promising,
it is sincerely TO he hoped that shall not be gov.
erned by that economy which shuts its hand
firmly that nothing can get into it, Were the
templated survey projected merely in aid of SCI
ence, it would be laudable, and many states whose
resources would permit, the appropriation of money
to such purposes, would not hesitate to adopt
measures for that object Our revenue will NOT
permit us to embark in an enterprise solely for the
advancement of geological knowledge, but in the
proposed survey there is every reason to believe
that Vermont will be renowned not only ga land
of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that
spring out of the valleys and hills but &" a land
whose stones IRON and out of whose hills thou
mayest dig brass"
Pnbhc attention should be directed to this object
and il is TO be hoped that our Legislature will
withhold appropriations for an object that promises
50 much substantial benefit.

| The agitation of the questions affecting the
duct Of certain functionaries who have figured in
Canadian Affairs for the last year, by the British
Parliament s likely result in the renewal of the
excitement prevailing in the Provinces last winter
The cruel and tyrannical acts of the Agents OF
The home Government are not countenanced by
MANY of the leading members of both houses, and
| tho ministry have been compelled TO yield 10 the
accumulated force of popular opinion The ac-
count published last week, in connection with that
in to.days paper will give the reader an idea OF
the subject as il is viewed by several of the first
statesmen of Great Bl.ain. The decree for The
banisbment OF certain Patriots has been declared TO
be Ilegalalso the transportation of others TO Ber-
muda, and the detenson OF them will subject The
Queens officers TO prosecution and damages by the
sufferers, the same as for false Imprisonment But
should they return, it is maintained by some, that
they would expose themselves TO the Liability OF
being brought 10 trial before another tribunal for
any offence of which they may be guilty.
Another excitement is evidently 10 pass over the
Provnces-or rather a revival Of that OF last winter,
which has apparently slumbered during the sum
mer. The rigid policy of the authorities in the
punishment of prisoners-tbe presence of large
number OF soldiers, as a standing military force,
ana the Dllter, reVenBeIul--nolt say
spirit of the Tory press in Canada have all tended
to Inhame the public mind, and keep alive the
jealonsies and heart burnings among the people,
which subdued 10 silence by the fear Of pow
er. Had opposite policy been pursued after the
cessason of hostilities last winter, quite different
stale of feeling would have existed at the present
Time from that which is now manifestly prevailing
among tho disaffec ted Canadians.
The Montreal Herald of the 2lst of Sept. says,
Friday evening is fixed for general rising And

every mans mind, such have never bef;pe

uJ@The annexed article, from New Hampshire
paper is well adapted this meridian rs to that
of New Hampshire. 1t is notorious, that unvea-
RED exertions every where made by those who
depend for their offices upon the Administration, TO
circulate their party papers, not merely among their
political friends but they attempt to palm them off
upon Wings, who have to no other sources of
information They do uot stop here but they employ
every Imaginable artifce TO induce subscribers to
Wing papers to discontinue them, and subscribe
fur some Tory print, whose nuirment is drawn
from the dead sea Of corruption at Washington
Similar vigilance, batting he dishonesty and mean
ness of their opponents, TO circulate Wing papers,
would serve to correct many ofthe msiepresenta-
tons of the Tory papers, and spread the light of
truth where now is engendered the nists of dark
ness which hides official corruption from many hon.
est, but misguided minds.
WING NEWSPAPERS. We beg the attention of
our political friends, and all, to the important
duty of attending TO the business oPextendng
the circulation of Wing newspapers. 1t is an obli-
CATION which all ought TO feel and duty winch
every man ought to undertake in his own way and
in his neighborhood. 1t is not the newspapers
which filled with political strife and animosity,
during the heat of contested election which
make converts which build up and sustain our
party But it is the silent and gradual influence
acquired by an honest and fairly conducted news
paper regularly received and quietly read at the
family Preside, which is what we value and seek
for. Every man ought 10 subscribe 10 some news
paper; not only for the amount of knowledge and
entertainment which it will impart to himself and
his family, but for the animation it mparts and be
mental action, it awakens, especially in youthful
minds. But every wing ought especially to have
a Wing newspaper at command, not only for his
own use, but TO lend to any candid and inquiring
friend ofthe opposite party. .No,o, repeat, now
is the time for the Wings, to commence the per-
formance Of This duty let it not be delayed until
the xt political campaign be fairly opened and
people get excited and committed, and behold all
things through false and highly colored medium;
but set about the business-each with bis
neighbor Let it be seen in each Village and school
district, what wings do not subscribe for Wing
newspaper, and let them be appealed to as men,,
as citizens ola free country and worthy 10 remain

his party, which although apparently insignificant
result, in each of these relations.-Ports Journal

And Freedom is tho Farmers right,
By his Creators laws,
This right we'll keep, or in death sleep
Well never bend the knee
To mortal king--but joyous sing,
We've Farmers and we're Free.
Who led our fathers to reap
Their harvest of renown,
When Britain's war-dogs cross'd the deep
TO nunt our birth-rights DOWN
A Farmer: Yes-he taught us this -
To never bend the knee
To mortal king--but boldly sing,
We're Farmers and we're Free
The half fedg'd scholar well may say,
On earth there's poughl but care;
But would he throw his books away,
And breathe the morning air ,,,,
Behind the plough, 'twould smooth his brow
Like US, he'd happier be
Than mightiest king-and with us sing,
We're Farmers and we're Free
We farmers talk NOT of life s ills,
Except when wool is low,
Or when by chance we get bad bills;
This vexes you know
But yet we will re-echo STILL
We'll never bend the knee r.-.
To mortal king-but saily sing.
We're Farmers and we're Free
But ye, who say there's nought in life
That's worth the living for,
Behold the farmers cheerful wife,
And own what fools We are;
And join now, just from the plough
Who~will not bend the knee
TO mortal king, while we sing,
We're Farmers and we're Free.
When wintry storms rage long and loud,
The farmer at his fire,
While sons and daughters round him crowd,
Feels joys that never tire;
With such band Join heart and hand,
And never bend the knee
