Discoveries In the Ancient Copper DIssings.

Discoveries in the Ancient Copper Dtgsings.
We were shown last week, by Charles Whit.
telsey, Esq. Of the Ontonagon Mine, copper ar
Tow-head and piece OF human skull and other
bones, which have lately been found in the An
cicnt Indian Dsgings on the Ontonagon River
The native copper arrow head is now about two
inches IN length, and seems to have had originally
a socket though but part OF it remains. Several
chlsels, or instruments resembling chisels. having
sockets like the common carpenters cmsel and
small eads or wedges have also been found at the
Minnesota Mine.
But the greatest curiosity we have seen in the
way of these articles, IS the stick OF oak timber
lately taken out of one OF the ancient pits or
shafts at the Minnesota Mine, % feet below the
length and or 10 inches in diameter having short
limbs feet apart, and at nearly right angles with
one another and on tins account and from It's
standing nearly upright, 1t is supposed 70 have
been used as ladder BY the ancient miners. In
this shaft and around and over this stick were
rocks and earth and large trees were growing
over it and many centuries must have elapsed
since that ancient ladder was placed there
We learn from Capt. j. w Hunter, who brought
down llast week piece of this stick, about feet
in length, and to whom We are indebted for
small piece of the same, that when taken
out of the mine it could easily be pulled IN
pieces by the hands, but by carefully drying it
in the sun it became strong and hard, and very
much seasoncracked' by the exposure to the
air and sun.
How long would oak timber probably remain
in this state of preservation under such crcum-
stances And would the presence OF copper
around it have any effect In the preservation OF
it These are questions to which we should be
glad to have more satisfactory answers than we
are able to give them.

To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor OF Inc lytoNhc-
In my first communication made three geolo8-
ical divisions of this State, of the first OF which
gave you afull description I will confine this let
ter to an account of the Second Division.
That portion Of the State of New-J ersey included
in the Second Geological Division is embraced be-
tween line drawn from Trenton and extending
north past New Brunswick to Hoboken, and one
extending from the Ramapo Mountain, curylng by
the Highlands to the Delaware, between Milford
and Alexandria. This area embraces about 70
miles in length, and breadth Of between % and
80 miles The soil is exceedingly variable, the
surface quite rough and broken, and the only re,
markabe characteristic Of its features is its geo
logical formation. Its composed of secondary or
old red sandstone which rises into hills Of consld
cradle elevation, and which are covered with
greensboro or trap rock. A large portion OF Ber'
gen County, nearly the whole OF Essex, consid,
cradle part of Morris, twothirds of Somerset,
about onehalf of Middlesex, and threefo urths of
Hunterdon Counties are included in it's area while
the sandstone base is found in various states OF
induration and aggregation. From the Palisades

hard, and in many places affords an excellent
quality Of building stone but in other parts not
mn '~aouepty assumes the shane and property Of
pudding, stone and wacke, and in some instances
furnishes organic remains in considerable quanti-
ties. Underlying these hills and valleys is found
a red rock, which assumes the form Of shale or
slate. This rock, taken from whatever depth Of
surface, disintegrates into rich loan, and affords
surface more valuable than that formed By hard
er stone, in consequence of the cayey constituents
it contains. From every indication this whole
section would have been, and in all probability
was. at some distant day, rich and vast plain
had il non been for the trap hills thrown upon IT.
and the only broken surface would have been char
actenzed by IT, meandering courses of the
streams as they pun ne their tortuoas channels to
the sea.
"A few exceptions, however, from this general
formation may here be observed. Inc his' .fap

Union Of isrooklyn and Williamsburgi witt
Navy


Ncw.York.
The Committees of the Common Councils OF
New York and Brooklyn, having the annexation
project in hand, have already conferred amicably
on the subject, and find no difficulty in agreeing
to the general expedency of it. The plan and
terms will be arranged at future joint meetings.
The FIVE Senators from New York and Kings
County, who are Committee to report on the
subject at the next session Of the Legislature,
meet with them The President and Trustees of
the Village of WILLIAMSBURG have accepted
Invitation to join in the conferences, and favor
ably inclined to the proposed metropolitan union,
Let us hope that they will give themselves yigor-
ously to the noble enterprise, that the union may
be speedily consummateda union by which all
parties will gain, and none can lose-a union
which will place New-York in its due rank as one
of the three greatest cities of the civilized world,
only London and Paris competing with it in
population, and London alone in commerce and
wealth
The reasona6leness and wisdom OF this measure
are so manifest, that the only wonder about it is
that it has not been accomplished before. The
quiet indifference of the great majority of this
community to the proposition has hitherto consti-
tuted passive obstacle to it, but that will OF
course yield to the first vigorous effort to arouse
the public mind on the subject. We do not know
that any objections of public nature have been
offered to the proposed consolidation We can
not imagine what objections can be made to it,
except from individuals very much mistakinG
their own interests. 1t is said that owners Of
real estate on this Island, above Fortieth-st. i'm

migration of citizens into them be rendered less

$4,000. These are moderate estimates, and can
be sustained by survey and computation as well
as analogy. Some are even claiming that, in the
course OF two or three decades, the majority OF
the population of this metropolis will be resident
on the west end of Long Island. Be that as it
may people will go there no faster after annex
alton than they do now. Such thing is hardly
possible. Since the 9Th Of June last THE date Of
the census WILLIAMSBURG has increased its pop.
ulation from less than 81 000to noarly $4,000; and
