and which may be Increased as The
trade Of The country y openedup. With
these prospects, which certainly l6Ol;
bright aud encouraging, We VIII next
turn our attention to-
Il TlIE FUTURE.
Our Wow In this instance can only ht
/. admitted specnlatiVely, although tn.
data Is one OF Gact, for the Irrational, =
the germ OF cohntry's greatness, i
most unQueStIonHbly here, aud that Il
is no myth II certain, for Il can be seen
and valued. II covers the surface Oi
the land above, Is inherent with and
permeates the carbonlferons rocks be-
4 low; il only awaits investigation tC
bring conviction. Like Joshua Of old
when urging forward his dubious
ttroops, we would recommend his clta'
tion fF1m the song OF Moses, that ''th0y
lshOuld suck honey from the stony rock
and oil ffOm the hinty rock. \ The apt.
itude Of tho quotation has lost nothing
by the lapse OF time, for IL we may
iJudge by the favor IN which the ''tihG-
stIOis element n held ut the present
Idny, Il certainly must have beenla EtiIn-
lulant Of the most potent kind. ButihC
promised land on the other side OF that
/ Jordan was u much harder road tN
travel than our Jordan OF the Ohio.
Here no doubts or darkness rests upon
1T; no spy Is required to secretly steal
into the country to learn Of its mineral
wealth, for the people OF this land OPEN
1 ly say to both Jew and Gentile--COmG,
4 search, dig, delve, see, and Judge for
} yourselves; your inlerest, like ours, Is
mutual, there is enough for all, and
some 10 spare; we want participants IN
iOuF common bOunties come. fes;
they nre coming. There IL ''sign in
! tile Enst.' A gentle cOnmOtlOn Is ngl-
ttAiing the monetary community; the
increasing inquiry for permanent In
IVestments means something significant.
The gQOlOglst, engineer, surveyor, and
lnnd agent, IL quietly being sent
! Ia examine Rll the highways and
lbyeways, and every nook and corner
lOf the country; and their exploration
Twill not bo without its reward. 1t Is
somewhat unfortunate that our scien-
ttIfiO reports have not hitherto been
written In practical manner; they
have been loose, vague, Inrellable, ull-
satisfactory, Hnd. whit II still worse,
lOiten embcllislied with mere fiction.
We hope In future they will be com.
piled with more care, and contain moth
/ ing hut ihcls. We are aware il Is u
hopeless task 10 try and please CveTy-
body: nevertheless we must have tho
prOS. and cons. of oVery question before
we can render a IEb, verdict. That for
wRnt of prudence, fOrCthOught, or dis
crimInation, the most egregions errors
have been perpetIHtcd, md much tOtlte
detriment Of the State. WO will, how
ever, pass them over to mention them
now would look iIlvidnous; we, there
fore, refrain. Much yet lies before the
people to do before they can realize the
iadvantages Of THUR present position.
One subject, before all others, should
