Lecture on Geology.

On Tuesday evening last,a number -four
citizens were very proftably entertained by
listening to lecture on geology, as connec-
ted with the mines of Wisconsin, and more
particularly the mines in our immediate
vicinity, by the Rev. John M1rrish. The
speaker took the ground, that instead of
our mines being almost exhausted, as some
claim, the present time is the beginning Of
a new era, and that the mines will eventu
ally prove richer and more remunerative
than they have done heretofore. To sub
ssantiate his point, he referred to the cop
per and tin mines Of Cornwall, and the lead
mines of Derbyshirc, which had each had
number of distinct eras in their progress,
and had, at various times, been almost
abandoned, being considered worthless,
when, by some accident or unusual enter
prise, tbey were opened little deeper, and
invariably proved richer and more remu-
nerative than the previous opening. He
also called their attention to the fact, that
the veins around Dodgevillc were more nu-
merous, and afforded a better chance for
experiment than almost any in the state
He stated, that heretofore the mineral had
been almost entirely obtained from tue Ga
lena limestone, but that there had been
enough taken from the Trenton or blue
limestone-which Immediately underlies
the Galena--to demonstrateI that mineral
existed there; and the fact that the blue
limestone is known to be mineral bearing
rock--most of the best leads in the state
being now in that rock-should be an in
ducement to prove the properties Of that
deposit around Dodgeville.
Mr. Murrish advised the immediate form
ing Of company to test the mineral de-
posts, for he has no doubt but they will
some day be tested thoroughly, and doubt
less found to pay well and if the present
residents of Dodgeville have nor enterprise
enough to do the work, they will show un-
doubtedly, that they are penny wise and
pound foolish.

State Rights in Practice.

General Sickles, who has just returned
from his South American mission, reports
that in the Republic of Columbia the states
rights doctrine has run to seed. The rela-
ton of the Federal Government to the states
is one Of entire neutrality. If a revolution
occurs in one Of the states the Government
cannot interfere, but must recognize the
party that triumphs. The presiding off
Ger of the Senate, corresponding with our
Wee President, is elected once month !!
The Speaker of the House is chosen for the
same term. The Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court holds his Office for single
term Of court. Suffrage is universal, In
dams and Negroes having equal rights
There is no prejudice against color many
Of the physicians, army officers and judges
being blacks.

Union County Convention.

The Union County Convention which
met in this village on Saturday last, "a de-
tailed report Of the proceedings Of which
will be found elsewhere in this issue-was
not very largely attended; but we believe
quite as large as could have been expected,
considering the busy time of the year, and
considering that our county seat is not
quite so convenient Of access, from the var
ious parts of the County, as some others
are. The action of the Convention was
very satisfactory, and unanimous. A mark
ed good feeling pervaded the assemblage,
and we are satisfied that such gatherings
can but do good. At the opening of the
Convention Col Cobb, made few very per-
tinent and interesting remarks, reviewing
in a brief manner the doings and changes
Of the past four years, denouncing his for
mer prejudices in regard to the negro, and
asserting himself willing to give the negro
fair and impartial trial, and hereafter, as
long as he behaves as a man, to treat him
as man, and concede to him all the rights
and privileges due man.
The delegates went home, resolving anew
that they would still continue to coerce,
subjugate and finally annihilate all oppos-
ition to law and order, and the rightly con
stituted powers Of the government, no mat
ter whether found north or south.

e~W We doubt whether President John

Capt. Wirz for trial to competent jury of
southern men, parolled officers of the con-
federate army, or eminent civilians selected
from the best classes of the south.-NeaO
York. (Copperhead) World.
The above is fair indication of the cop
perhead spirit towards one of the most no.
torious criminals that ever polluted the
earth. His atrocious crimes were perpe-
trated in the interests of the Shareholders
rebellion; hence, this tenderness on the
part of northern copperheads; hence, their
objection to the trial Of this monster by a
commission of Uuion officers of high char
acter and intelligence. Hence, their appeal
to turn his case over to a jury of Intelligent
southern men" or eminent civilians" of
the best classes of the south )" this impor-
tunate cry to leave the punishment of trail
tors to be determined by jury Of traitors.
