Of the Governors Message which relates to the Geo.
logical Survey of the State have instructed me to
port, that they have had the matter under consider
alton, and after much discussion, came to the con-
clussion, by nearly unanimous vote, to recommend
the continuing the survey to completion.
The several reports Of the State Geoogist have been
read with interest in every portion Of the State, and
:he last recently laid the tables of the members
Of this House, from hurried review, is thought 10
be work of great research exhibiting a knowledge
of the subject matter, and dscloses to the world the
untold mineral wealth Of our State.
The committee would regret to see the survey dis
continued at this time and hope the House will re-
consider its action of some weeks since which show.
ed want Of confidence in the results of the survey.
In their opinion, much good has already been done,
and much more will be DONE If the work is continued.
The planting and farming interests of the State
complain that they have been almost overlooked,
and the committee join with them in asking that in
future, these interests should receive that attention
their importance demands and to this end, they
commend Gn the event the should be continu-
e that the State Geoogst direct the attention of one
of his assistants ,exclusvly to the subject of agrcul

The LEGISLATURE.


to-day, from Monday to Wednesday, inclusive.
On Thursday the Senate mainly engaged on
the Fayetteville and Coalfelds Road, the bill to
amend the charter of The French Broad Railroad,
the bill to amend the charter Of the Wilmington
and Rutherford Railroad, and the Rockingham Coal
fields Road bill, from the Commons Is
The Fayetteville Coalhelds Road bill was read the
second time. This is bill, introduced by Mr.
McDarmid.
The French Broad bill was read the second and
third times, and passed.
The Wilmington and Rutherford Road bill, en-
crossed from the Commons, was read and passed the
second time This bill takes off certain restrictions
imposed by the last Legislature which granted the
charter.
An animated and somewhat angry debate took
place on the Rockingham Coalfelds Road bill, be-
tween Mr.. Hill and Gen. Dockery. The bill is the
order of the day for Friday, 4, P. NJ.
The Senate also acted finally on Thursday, on
number Of private bills.
In the Commons on Thursday, on motion of Mr..
Holmes, the bill granting aid to the Cape Fear and
Deep River Navigation Company, was made the
order of the day for Friday.
The Revenue bill was then taken up on its third
reading After some debate, the bill passed its third
and last reading, in nearly the shape in which it
came from the senate-yeas 70, nays ss-only two
Know. .Nothings voting for it. and three Know Moth
ings only having voted for it on its second reading!
| Let that be remembered.
The bill to aid the Atlantic and North Carolina
Road, by loan of s4Oo ,OO to complete said Road,
passed its third reading-yeas IS, nays 46.
The Western Extension bill, as it passed the Sem
ate, providing for an extension to Morganton, was
taken up in the Commons, passed its third reading
yeas 81, nays 40, and was ordered to be enrolled.
| The bill granting 900 to the Cape Fear and
Deep River Company is still pending on its second
reading in the Senate. 1t has been amended, re-
quiring individual subscriptions of Sl5O,O0O to be
added to the States 100000; and it is sad that in
its present shape the bill is not acceptable to its
| ticular friends.
The Legislature will no doubt adjourn sine die on
Monday next.

BLIND OR WOLF TEETH IN HORSES.

In no work on the diseases of horses,
so far as we know, is what are called
blind teeth noticed The first notice
we find of them, is in the Cuitiuotor for
l843, where they are described by a
southern writer, as follows:
There occurs in some horses, be-
tween the bridle-tooth and grinders, a
small, long tooth without roots, and not
inserted in socket, but merely in the
gum of the upper jaw. 1t has never been
alluded to in any system of farriery, but
our planters can trace its existence in this
State for more than half century.
Ii may, and doubtless does, occur in
horses of any shaped head, but in the
three cases on my farm, it was in horses
of dished heads. One had gone entirely
blind before l was apprised of the cause,
and the other two l relieved by immedi-
ately extracting the blind teeth. Hun
dreds of instances could be adduced of
the existence of blind teeth, and the de-
struction of sight when not extracted
No horse has ever been seen with them
at mature age, having good eyes.
1t is conjectured by some to be pc
culiar to Indian corn feeding by others
to hot climate. The three cases under
my observation were i'll horses raised on
my own farm and not having seen any
allusion elsewhere, | am inclined to be-
lieve it is confined to the South
The publication of the above brought
us several statements from different parts
of the country, all the writer's agreeing
that the "blind teeth" were the cause OF
blindness, and that they should be ex-
tracted as soon as discovered .il6any

CLINCHING HORSE SHOE NAILS.

As l once passed through a certain
town, says writer in the Farmers Cab
met, one of my horses shoes became
loose, and | went to the shop of a smith
named Lovelace, to get it fastened.-The
shoe was nearly new, and had become
loose in consequence of the nails having
drawn out of the hoof, although they had
been clinched in the manner universally
practised. The smith remarked that all
the other shoes were loose, and would
soon drop off, when | requested him to
did + perceive the inherent mode Thrcn
he adopted for fixing them,, which l will
here detail.
As fast as he drove the nails, he merely
bent the points down to the hoof, without
as is customary, twisting them with the
pinccrs these he then drove home, clinch-
ing them against heavy pair of pincers,
which were not made very sharp; and
after this had been very carefully done,
he twisted off each nail as close as pos
sible to the hoof; the pincers being dull.
the nail would hold, SO rs to get perfect
twia round, before it separated. These
twists were then beaten close to the hoof
and fled smooth, but not deep, or with
the view to rasp off the twist of the nail.
"Oh, no p said |, :" l have learned
lesson in horse -shoeing. =" Yes said
he, "and valuable one if l were ever
to lose single shoe in long days hunt,
| should have to shut up my shop; my
business is to shoe the horses belonging
to the hunt, and the loss of shoe would
be the probable ruin of a horse, worth
perhaps thousand pounds but l never
am fearful of such an accident. -" Sim
ply because you drive home and clinch
the nails before YOU twist them off, y said
l. EYES," replied he, by which ] Sc
cure rivet as well as ciinch." The
thing was as clear as the light of day,
and have several times endeavored to
make our shoeing smiths understand it.
but they cannot see the advantage it
would be to themselves, and guess there
fore, that Il acould ne0er do IN these parts.
Now, let any one take up an old horse
shoe at any of the smiths shops on the
road, and examine the clinch of the nails
which have drawn out of the hoof, and
he will soon perceive how the thing oper-
ates In short, if the nails are driven
home before twisting off, and the rioet
formed by the twist, be not afterwards re-
moved by the rasp, | should be glad to
be told how the shoe is to come off at all,
unless by first cutting out the twist >

1t has been proposed by Company at
the North that some of the Yankee farm
ers, shoemakers, blacksmiths, carpenters,
wheelwrights, schoolmasters, DC, shall
emigrate into the quiet old Virginia coun-
ties on the James River, purchase lands,
increase their value by cultivation, and
build up towns and villages. The bare
proposition has thrown some Of the old
fogies of Virginia into terrible spasms.
They cry out for prompt and forcible re-
sistance. They are for meeting the emf
grants with sword, bowie-knife and rifle.
Mr.. Pryor's paper, the " South, )" actually
in vnins tho interpnsif;An of the Virginia
State government.
We cannot we'll see how the Virginans
can properly drive out Northern men who
purchase and pay for their lands, and af-
forwards behave themselves. We think
that the Virginians, if they wish to pre-
vent Yankees from becoming landhold-
ers in their State, had better direct their
violence, not against the Yankee pur-
chasers, but against the people who sell
to them. Ii would be rare sight TO see
Gov. Wise lead Virginia brigade for
the expulsion of a set of Yankees to whom
Virginians had sold their lands, pocket
ing the money for the same.
Cannot Gov. Wise recommend the en-
actment of law to punish by fine and
Imprisonment any Nirginian who sells
land TO Yankee ?-Louisyille Journal.
