Geology OF WISCONSIN.


The Wisconsin Journal says: "Prof.
james fail has submitted to the Legisla-
tuEe a report upon the Lead regions Of
Wisconsin, embracing chapter on the gen
eral geology Of the State and its relations
to the geology of the surrounding States,
which with the details Of the Geology, Min
eralogy and Mining, viii make volume
Of between four or FIVE hundred pages.
If Prof. Halls GEOLOGY of Wisconsin"
be anything Ike that of Iowa, the money
paid for it by the State might as well be
laid out otherwise. Dubuque Herald.
Just SO. The lead region of Wisconsin
affords one Of the most splendid fields in
the universe, for biologists to make their
displays. The country is perforated on
every hand, ready for the geologist to go
down and read the rocks which are regular
and nearly horizontal; ID but few places
are they tilted or turned on edge by sub
terranean commotion. Well, the geolo-
gists have been pouring over these diggi,ags
for half dozen years, have issued Report
after Report-and made great ado. And
what is the result? We answer nothing.
They have taught miners nothing but
names Of things; Dot discovery Of miner
al has been made by the biologists, nor
has anything they have done or said lead
to single discovery. Most Of what the
biologists have written concerning our
mines has been picked up from the miners,
some Of whom are life experienced, good
observers and great takers. All this and
little more.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1861-04-04

GE- Winter has departed at later day
than usual, but we think her leave is final
farmers have been unable to put in sheir
wheat crops till the middle of the present
week. 1t is probable that more ground
will be seeded this year than any previous
year. The farm interest got such a start
last year that the country will not fall be-
hind again for means or unmafketed pro-
duce for several years. Half the granaries
and corn cribs are sill filled with the sur
plus of 60; more work was done the past
year than during any previous two or three
years; more building and breaking Of new
land will be done this year than any past
year. Land property will slightly rise this
year, at least recover more fixed value /;
Confidence in the West has almost entire
ly recovered and emigration will take a
fresh start, especially toword the north
west. Small farms with cheap improve
lnents will be in demand.

Miraculous Escape.

About noon Tuesday Mr.. John Williams
met with an accident at his diggins, about
two miles west Of here, by which he barely
escaped with his life The particulars are
as follows: Williams and his partner, VIM.
jordan, were in the act Of putting off blast;
they had touched a match to the fuse and
assembled the pole,and were waiting to hear
the blast 90 off; but, after waiting some
time, concluded that it missed fire, where
upon Mr.. Williams concluded to descend
into the hole and ascertain the cause. he
did SO, and found that the fuse had gone
out. He then got his hammer and COM
menced gadding the blast out, as he had
often done before, when all of sudden
the powder began to ignite Seeing this
lie threw himself on his knees, putting both
arms in front Of bis face, when the blast
went off, the stones flying past bis head in
all directions. Theonly injuries he received
were on his arms, caused by stone weigh
inc several hundred pounds. There were
twelve tubs full of rock taken out OF The
hole afterwards Galend Advertiser.

M-The Commissioner system of Coun-
by Government has become law; we have
not been able to see the law, but it is UNI
dsrstood this county will be entitled to
elect FIVE Commissioners, one for each As
sembly District; the Commissioners arc to
be elecA,d At the fall election, but we do
not know whether they are to serve for one
or two years. They are to 90 into ofice
the first Of January, '62, so that the Chair
men elected this spring are 70 meet as q
County Board in the fall, which is to be
the last County Board Of Supervisors
The present Clerk of the County Board is
to be the Clerk Of the Board Of Commits
sionosu. There are TO be Town Supervisors
as usual, three to each Town, SO that the
five Commissioners are a net increase of
officers.

Policy of Forbearanoe.


The Shareholders Rebellion is to be
successfully met, in but one Of these three
ways:
BY prompt, resolute, unhinching re-
sistance-by the use of force to repel force,
rrhonus1r the laws are resisted and the
authority of the Government defed; or
Q. By complete acquiescence in the Sc
cession proclaimed by the insurgents, and
the recognition of the revolted States as
absolutely independent of the Federal
Union; or
8. BY Fabian policy, which comedies
nothing, yet employs TO force in support
of resisted Federal authority, hoping to
wear out the insurgent spirit and in due
time re-establish the authority Of the Onion
throughout the reyolted or seeded States,
by virtue Of the returning sanity and loyal
ty Of their own people.
We do not assume that this last is the
wisest policy, nor yet that If has been re-
solved on by the new Administration we
propose simply to set forth the grounds on
which it is commended and justified.
This Government, it is said, is based not
on force but on reason; not on bayonets
and battallions, but on good will and gen
eraI consent. We wish they would preach
this to the Nulliicrs, who do not seem to
have yet caught the idea. To war on the
Seceders is to give to their yet rapory IN
situations the strong cement of blood-is
to baptize their nationality in the mingled
fe-blood of friends and foes. But let them
severely alone-allow them to wear out
the military ardor Of their adherents IN
fruitless drilings and marches, and to ex-
haust the patience Of their fellog-citizens
by the amount and frequency Other pecu-
mary exactions-and the fabric Of their
power will melt away like fog in the beams
Of morning sun. Only give them rope,
and they viii speedily fulfil their destiny
the People, even Of South Carolina, re-
jecting their sway as intolerable, and re-
turning to the mild and paternal guardian
ship Of the Union.-N Z. Tribune.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1861-04-04

G9 The spring election is q matter fresh
in the minds Of people, and we ask them
to think now of economising by some
means; would it not be well to have but
a single Town Supervisor instead Of three!
Why not make one office Of the Clerk and
Assessor! Our Town laws are generally
well enough, but the office of Town SUI
perintendent being abolished, can we not
safely step further in the right direction Of
diminishing the number of Town officers
The more offices there are to fill, the great-
er will be the number Of place seekers, and
all must see the evil Of office hunting We
hear many of our best qualified men say
they cannot spare the time nor afford to
hold any Town office; therefore, the ten
dency is 10 fill the offices with second rate
men, or rather, those who cam afford to
loaf and are to INDECENT to work. We
think as a general rule, that not over a
third or half those usually elected to Town
offices are well qualified, upright business
men; therest are totally unqualified. Can
not the number of offices be reduced SO
that third CT half SO many can Gil them2
in which case the begging part would have
to go to work.

GE-The faction Of members in our
Legislature who have contemplated a new
political deal in Wisconsin, by taking a
slice from the Republican party and a slice
from the Democratic party and consolida-
ting the parts, is making slow headway-
They fad they don't own the people who
elected them. A new deal Of members is
to be made next fall. Usually, the head
Of anything is elevated above the members
of the body, but the rule is reversed With
the Republican party: the soul and yitals
are among the people at the top and what
wants to be the head IS generally down
about the bottom assemblies, only by ac-
cident.

M Farmers, raise pigs and pork; one
year with another. more money has been
made on pork than any other article, and
we think the rule will continue TO hold good.
The great pork regions Of Southern Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois are failing in pork in
consequence Of the new diseases. A Gin
cinnati pork dealer says there is no danger
Of the hog cholera spreading North, and
that the pork business of those regions
will lave to be given up to the North
West. Remember also, that North West
ern beef Is better and sells for more in the
the Eastern markets than Southern beef.
