the Great Spirit said, sYou now choose
The box Of Books fell to the white man-not
by accident, but by design With the most
emphatic action, the Indian philosopher
then said: "The Great Spirit has decreed
that the negro shall fell the forest and till
the soil to make subsistence for man. The
Indian shall roam the wilderness, and ca
noe on the rivers, and in hunting and fish
ing, seek his pastme and support. The
white man shall read and gather those
stores ofknowIedge from which he is to de.
rive the rules for nstructing and governing
the others While these relations exist
peace and harmony will prevail; disturb
them, and no other results can follow, but
0nn1hilatiom Of the BLack and Red race
The negro and Indian will disappear be-
fore the march and rapacity of the white
man."
With prophetic instinct, Nehcmathla,
and his philosopher, seem to have predicted
what the aboitionist is now attempting to
verify.

Having nude what remarks we intended
to make in regard to the primitive tran
sition and secondary classes of rocks, we
shall now go back for the purpose of simpli-
flying little. By referring to what we
have said in the preceding numbers it will
beseen that we have enumerated six rocks
as belonging to the primitive class-tLat
we have placed GoM in close proximity with
Ialcosc slntc which is the fourth rock in or
der, and TINT we have said that the only
limestone in this class is the sixth rock of the
serles-thc Granular limestone or s S.atuary
marble. The transition class consists of
but five rock AMI is rather an unimportant
class. With the first rock of this class
the serc~tA in the order in which we are
now considering them we find roof slate and
anthracite coal-wlth the ninth we have
said the silver mines Of South America are
associated; and with the tenth we find Grind
stones and Homes. Passing on to the secon-
Diary class we come in the first place-:he
Twelfth rock in the present order to Mill
stone grit where the celebrated Esopus mill
stones are found and between which and
the thirteenth rock are extensive coal beds,
and associated with the thirteenth we find
all of,he salt springs, rock salt, &c. With
the seventeenth we find common lime stone

Road from that point will be the most
practicable and cheap. A road from Edre-
held Z. III. to Anderson G.. H. would cost
at least SSO0,O0O, the distance being over
seventy miles. Edgefeld, too. will not con-
sent to the cxtcntion of any connection If
1t be run into Anderson it will not approach
Saluda, nor can it 60 to Greenvile. The
Columbia and Greenvlle Road has the
stalt and supt rscsson of the Aiken route,
and has absorbed the body of the available
means OF the country. Both cannot be
built, there would be neither means nor
profit. The Savannah River planters will
support neither Road These Saluda men
must now see that their project is at this
stage and time not on y too late, but hopeless.
But if they cannot get what thew prefer.
let them us sensible, wealthy and liberal
men, get what they can, and help the most
practicable enterprise My proposition is
most favorable to their interests-it brings
the road to their own doors. Let them
come forward, then, in their strength.
Charleston and Columbia must perceive,
not only in the chaper cost and greater Ger.
talnty OF the compromise route, but in the
TACT that it will divert to them trade that
otherwise is divided with Savannah, the as
surancc to themselves of increased and GER
tain advantages.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that all par
ties and sections will consider these sugges-
tons that all will determine TO have as
the paramount consideration a road to
Grcenville; and to this end that they will
come forward with their means and influ-
cncc, in spirit of lberali,y, mutual con-
ccssion and enlarged enterprise. Ifthey do,
the great work will be accomplished, and
great and permanent and increasing ends
will be achieved c..

Santa .a,a's Cocks. We take the following
story from one of Kendall's admirable letters
from the seat Of war. We are sure our readers
will relish it:
A party Of dragoon officers, some two or
three weeks since, also had their own fun near
Santa Ana's estate of Mango de Clavo. While
hunting about The premises they stumbled up
on the building where he kept his fighting
chickens. Those well informed upon the sub
jecttell me there was great deal Of cock
fighting in that immediate section for day or
two, and that one particular fight created great
excitement. A fierce looking rooster which
they dubbed General Taylor-not so large as
some, but with game sticking out all over him
was pitted against a long gangling chicken
that they gave his owners name to-a heavy
but clumsy bird, with but little fight in him.
Well, Gen. Taylor and Santa Ana, as repre-
scented by the chickens Of the latter, were sci
upon one another, and after few heavy hits
from the former, the latter 'vamosed' out of the
fight as fast as his two legs would carry him,
leaving general Taylor's representative upon
the ground growing right Justify. Such are
some Of the accidents that have befallen the
sHero Of Tampico.'
