do not suppose that all the scientific questions
relating to the rocks of Vermont could be settled
in that time and il must be confessed that these
are neither few nor unimportant Most ofthe
rocks Of the State are what are called metamor-
phic-the most difficult to name and describe of
all rocks, though usually the most important eco
nomcally. But what is most important to the

have supposed il 10 be the wish of the State,
as it certainly is that of the Geological explorers,
to finish this survey as soon as it can be done
well and therefore have made the above sug-
gestions, presumng also, that such course
would be cheaper in the end than longer delay,
with less annual appropriation. But if the
Government jadge otherwise and wish us to pro-
ceed as we have during the present year, we will
do all that we can TO hasten the work to the end.
Or If the Government in view of the exposition
now made, should conclude to suspend it alto
gether, we have nothing to do but submit, and
endeavor to place in their hands the results thus
far obtained. We cannot believe, however, that
the people of Vermont wish to have the work
brought so permaturely TO a Close that the Fl
nal Report shall be disgrace, when it ought to
be an honor, 10 the State, and guide to those
practical men who are seeking to develope its
Geological resources.

the State at its recent session in October and
November last, entitled " An Act for the relief
of the suffering poor in Kansas" and to inform
you that the Governor stands ready TO extend
to the suffering poor Of Kansas, such relief, as
said act contemplates, upon full and satisfactory
proof of the necessity Of their condition.
The report is now that the wants Of the poor
of Kansas have been very much If not entirely,
alleviated by the large contributions of provi-
sions and clothing which have recently poured
in from private sources and the peace and good
order, which have resulted from your own ener-
getic and equitable administration of the Gov
ernment Of the Territory, are considered as an
earnest that the suffering and misiortunes Of the
people of Kansas have at last reached termin-

Any communication from your Exceency
upon this subject, will be received with pleas.

pelier, beg leave to report as follows:
In consequence of the non-accepiance of one
of the gentlemen first appointed, and the alb
sence of another, the committee was not filed
and organized until the seventeenth of March
last, when there remained two weeks of the Pc
riod limited by the act for the adoption and FL
ing of the plan. 1t vas consequently impossi-
BILE for us personally 10 inspect any of the iegis-
latlve halls lately huit in other States, nor was
there adequate time for inviting plans or propo-
sails, or for obtaining the opinions of many pro-
fessiona builders with regard 10 the general de-
sign or the details o construction. We, there
fore, limited ourseveskt0 consultation with archi-
tects and others who voluntarily proposed plans
and suggestions and upon such conference with
these persons, such examination of the site and
remaining walls of the late State House, and
such consideration of the conditions, accomHio-
datons, and conveniences required for the pur.
poses to which the building is 10 be devoted, as
the time at our disposal allowed, we, upon the
first day Of April, 1857, adopted and filed with
the Secretary of State, and with the Hon. THoM-
AS f. PowERs, committee to superintend the
erection OF the work, plan described and repre-
sented in the resolves, elevations and ground
plans, copies of which are hereunto annexed
and we directed a perspective drawing of the
building, as it will appear from the southeast,
to be autographed and published.
We deem il proper to say that the crcum-
stances above detailed obliged us to decide many
questions upon much less mature consideration
than we should otherwise have bestowed upon

KANSAS TERRITORY,


Lecompton, January 7lb, 1857.
HIS EXCELLENCY,
GOVERNOR FLETCHER,
Burlington, VT.
DEAR SIR Your favor of the 22d ult., with
copy of an Act of the Legislature of Vermont,
entitled d" An act for the relief of the poor OF
Kansas" has been received.
am happy to inform you that am not aware
of the existence of any condition Of things in this
territory, that will render necessary the employ
ment of the money yoa have so literally placed
at our disposal. .....'
There is doubtless some suffering within our
limits consequent upon past disturbances and
the present extremely cold weather. but prob
ably no more than exists in other territories OF
in either Of the States of the Union.
No man who is able and willing to work, need
be destitute of comfortable livelihood in Kan
sas. Laborers and mechanics are in demand
and cannot be obtained at wages ranging from
81 80 to $500 per day. Indeed, so far as my
observation has extended, the deserving and in.
dustrous portions Of our population are in the
full enjoyment of more than an ordinary degree
of conientmeni and prosperity.
Should any contrary facts hereafter come to

BALLAD OF JUPITER AND TEN.

BTJr. FIEtDs.
Mrs Chub was rich and portly,
Mrs. Club was very grand,
Mrs Club was always reckoned
lady In the land.
You shall see her marble mansion
In a very stately square,
Mr. c. knows what 1t cost him,
But that's neither here nor there.
Mrs. Club was so sagacious-
Such patron of the arts
And she gave such foreign orders
That she won all foreign hearts.
Mrs. Club was always talking,
When she went away from home,
ofa most prodgious painting,
Which had just arrived from Rome.
"Such treasure" she insisted
One might never again!n
"what's the subiee,lnw we inquired
ar is Jupiter and Ttn -
Ten tchaf!" we blandly asked her,
For the knowledge we did lack
"Ah! that cannot tell you,
But the name is on the back"
".There II stands in printed letters
Come tomorrow, gentcmen-
Come and see splendid painting
Our fine Jupiter anu Ten.
When Mrs. Club departed,
Our brains begain to rack
She could not be mistaken,
For the name was on the back
30 we begged great professor
To lay aside his pen,
And give some information
Touching Jupiter and Ten"
And we pondered well the subject,
And our Lempriere we turned,
To find out who the Ten we're,
But we could not, though burned
But When we saw the picture

We perused the printed label,

New York Work

At IA recent mass-meetiug of the working men q
New York, several of the speakers alluded to the
fact that, while they in danger of starving
the blacks were comfol tably provided for. The
chairman. Mr. Smith, in assuming the duties of the
chair, said that they the representatives OF
fifty thousand industrious workmen, who. at this
moment were out of employment and without the
means with which to procure the necessaries Of
life; that. while white men were driven to despe.
ration through want Of those necessaIies the CO
lored population had plenty Of everything" In
another speech, Mr. Smith remarked: There has
been great deal said by some people regarding
the colored population of the city of New York.
bnt the truth is they are in much better circum-
stances than the white They are well provided
for. and they have bread which we have not. We
say that we are determined to protect ourselves
lives wives and our children, ard 1t utoss
,cho gre the blacks the preference bemars!'
This is significant. No doubt these New York
working men have reason to wish these blacks
who have bread while they have none, back where
they came from, and where they would be fed with
out taking the bread out Of the mouths Of the
whites.

Private Insane AsyIums,

The recent Woodman case in New York dscoscs
the fact that there is at least institution in that
city, perhaps more, where an individual, without
invoking the iLterposition of the law, may place
any member of his household, and have them con-
fined on the ground of insanity. In the Woodman
case, no one can feel any sympathy with the al,-
plication for the writ Of habeas corpus the object
being one which no professional man South of Ma
son & Dixon would blast and ruin himself by con-
niving at. But such institution, with such ia
cities for putting people out Of the way. is a Gu
rosity in free country One of the witnesses
testified that it mot strictly YUM for the
insane only persons who are nervous are seat
