The Presidents Position and Patronage.--A
private letter from Washington, of 10Th Instant,
ihus defines to us the Presidents position:
The rumor of an approximation between the
President and The Wings, has no foundation, for
know MIR. Tyler has this day declared that, in
appointments, he should look exclusively TO
those who have unfur!ed his banner, to his perso-
nal friends. This was said TO one who told him
OF the worthiessness OF certain applicants for Of
flee, who profess to be Tyler men. He was bold.
explicit and emphatic. Every scamp in Office
knows that by protesting personal devotion, he
has perfect immunity for past villanies, and a
license for all future denominations. How much
political morality is likely to remain at the end
Of IS months 90

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

Professor Rogers sent in to tho Legislature,
some days since, u brief report stating that the
Geological survey, which he has beea prosecu-
ting for several years past is very nearly compile
ted. All the field work has been done, and he is
now engaged with his assistants in the prepare
ton of his final Report This will be in rcadi-
ness at the next session of the Legislature, pro-
vided a small additional appropriation is granted
to enable him to retain the services of portion
of his corps a few months longer. To this reas-
enable request the Legislature will, no doubt,
promptly accede.
The Charlottesville Advocate says: tive have
been permitted to inspect some of the admirable
drawings by which the Report will be illustrated,
and which exhibit, on large scale, and in con-
tinuous conneXion, the position and formation of
the strata of our mountains, whilst the different
soils and the mineral and other productions of each
are distinguished by co!ored dolneations. The
advantages which will result to people at large
from a knowledge of the mineral and vegetable
resources and capabilities of the country, the
quality Of various soils, and the deficiencies and
pecuiarities of each with the best means of cul-
iiva,ng and enriching them, will be some Of the
practical benefits of this survey which will be
found of incalcuabe value. These results will
amply repay the cost of the work to the State and
reflect high credit upon the laborious energy and
the scientific accuracy and ability with which tie
survey has been prosecuted"

STARTLING lNclDENT.-I'he Georgetown Adj
vocate says: 'Some weeks ago man named
Miller, arrived in Washington from the South,
his object being to prosecute a claim against the
Government. On Saturday, I'd instant, he died,
and being supposed very poor, no one would adj
minister on his effects. At last, MIR. Rives, one
of the propretors of the Globe, undertook the
task. On the opening of deceased's trunk, up
wards of thirty thousand dollars were found. OF
course Mr.. X will be entitled to the per centage
allowed TO administrators. The property by the
will goes to sister of the deceased now residing
in Virginia Here is another argument for the
speedy erection of hospital in Washington, for,
when stranger is sick, he has but little chance,
if supposed to be poor"
