THE STATE SURVEY.

Professor Emmons, engaged in the Geo
logical and Agricultural survey Of the
State. accompanied by his assistant. Dr..
McClanahan. arrived among US the early
part Of this week, aud has been for some
days making excursions to several parts OF
the surrounding country. in the perform
ance of the duties Of his appointment. He
has visited Fentress' mine, which has
made rich promise Of copper ore; the Hod-
gin mine, lately extensively wrought for
gold; the McCulloh gold mine. now in sue
cessfui operations; the iron reg ion above
New Garden, aud perhaps some other in
tcresting points. When his reconnoisan II :
ces are concluded in this section, we un-
tIerstand that it is his intent on to proceed
to the valley Of the Dan and up the same
through the coal and lime regions.
We had the pleasure Of a days excur-
sion " ith the Professor, and became thor
ouyhlv confirmed in the opinion which we
had before entertained and expressed, that
Gov. Reid could not have made a better
appointment to this most lmportant place.
Prof. f.. takes 10 rocks as though he had
lived upon them all his Iite-knows all
abos, them, what they contain, what the y
indicate. what they are associated with in
the way Of other valuable minerals, &c,
as pat as you know the road to mill. Til.
opinions, if tot literally worth mint. are
worth something at The mines. They are
worth too much to be expressed. except
with that prudence and deliberation which
appears to be praise-w"rthy characters

At the Pilot mountain. everything that

live there; Quakers reside there; and a

absolutely necessary that you should

claims upon the government. as much and
more than any Of the old mother States;
she has always been true to her country,
and will not be found wanting in the time

respect. Then. General, delay no time
in coming; you know the election is but

upon your course in the location uf the

will cast her vote for the hero Of Queens

you will not notice the bid Of this State

will send him his own bill to collect, and
see if that won't fetch him The bill was
accordingly sent; and. after few days

''GENERAL Scorr's sRETURN.-Generai
Scott, we are told by the telegraph. is on
his way home. He has been out nov
about three weeks. perambulating through
Ohio, into Kentucky and Indiana, aud
back again through Ohio. and SO down the
lake to Buffalo. We were told. in the
beginning, that he was going to locate a
military hospital in Kentucky; but now
we hear nothing Of that hospital or ats
location, and the probability is he has done
nothing about it. His journey was pureIy y
a political one-one made to get up an
excitement in Ohio. and carry that State

A NICE POINF.

1t is curious upon what nice and in
hn'tely small p"ints the greatest re-
suits often hang in law. The merest
cobweb may arrest the triumphant pro-
gress OF a cause and accused parties are
oftener saved from conviction than drown
ing men are, by catching at straws. a
shrewd expedient was devised recently to
save prisoner charged with robbery. in
the Criminal Court at Dublin, ireland.
The principal thing that appeared im evil
dence against him W as a contension, alledg-
ed to have been made 1T tlsspolicc office.
The document purporting to contain this
self criminatikg acknowledgement was pro-
juceti by the officer, and the following
passage was read from it
:: "a az III vfts ~-A-,'
t'his, it will be observed, has no mark of
the writer's having any notion Of punctua-
ton. but the meaning he attached to it
was that
.'Managan said he never robbed but twice
Said it ,o0s Crd,cfOrd."
Mr. O'Gorman, the counsel for the prison.
er. begged to look at the paper. lie
perused it. and rather astonisheh the peace
officer by asserting, that SO far from its
proving the mans guilt, it established his
innocence. - This said the learned
gentleman, '.is the fair and obvious read .
ing OF the sentence
Managan said ire never robbed
But tioice sail 1t tcxs CratUtord"
This Interpretation had its effect upon
the jury. and the man was acquitted.

Affairs In Georgetown.

GEORGETOWN April 22-l2 m.
The damage done to our wharves by the freshet
is immense; nearly all that portion formed of
wood, of many Of them, is completely torn to
pieces, especially those belonging to the Corpo-
ration at the fish dock. The damage done to
these alone cannot fall far short of two hundred
and fifty to three hundred dollars.
The schooner General Washington, which was
on the Green street wharf, was got off without
any damage. The schooner United lies high and
dry on one of the wharfs some thirty feet from
the water, and will have to be placed upon ways
and launched.
Our cotton factory and mills this morning are
all silent, resembling somewhat deserted castles.
We have heard from the canal as far up as
| some five miles above the Great Falls, and regret
to learn that the damage is greater than was at
first supposed. 1t is reported that portion
known as the Long Walls Ga stone embankment
is correct we have little hope of any boating
being done under two months ut least.
The machinery of Mr.. Edes's mill was damaged
to the extent of at least five hundred dollars.
The loss sustained by our Corporation and
citizens in the destruction of the Little Falls
| bridge, causeway and wharves, and in lumber,
| wood, -four &c, cannot be much under fifty
thousand dollars.
Everything about Water street and the wharves
is still in confused condition, and our merchants
are busily engaged putting them to rights but
little business of any kind has yet been done.
