GREAT PARK ~ BROOKLYN. - The
Brooklynites, New York, are preparing
for pleasure use q larger and hdndsomer
park than the far-famed Central" In
the course Of their excavations they
have turned up relics of Sullivan's bat
tie with the H~essians. They have also
found the veritable redoubt which was
thrown up by the patriot force. This
historic hillock will be preserved intact.
All the best improvements Of Central
Park will be copied, while naturally the
grounds are universally admitted to sur
pass those Of that famous park. Stu
ated on the high ground skirting the
southeastern portion of Brooklyn, it
overlooks the low lands to the eastward
away over to the Atlantic; while west
and northwest the view extends over
the cities Of Brooklyn, New York, Jersey
City, Staten Island, aud far up the val
ley of the Hudson. Drives, bridle-paths,
lakes, groves, plains, valleys and ridges
are being laid out and constructed as
fast as possible. This park will be as
accessible to the lower part Of New
York as Central Park is.

THE SUMMIT TUYyEL.-The Sacrament
to Bee says that the Dutch Flat Com
pany are making wonderful progress on
the Summit Tunnel. The Bee says that
the tunnel is 1850 feet long. It was
begun in September last-at four points
ON the east and on the west ends, and
two other faces were created by a shaft
in the center. Thus, there are four
faces, with three sets Of hands to each,
or twelve sets in all. Each set works
eight hours, and the work goes on night
and day! And now, on the lst Of the
present month, Of all these 1850 feet,
there were but 6sl feet remaining to be
cut! The progress last week was sixty
feet, and at this rate the tunnel will be
completed by the middle Of August next.
By measurement, on the LIST inst, there
were but 346 feet in the east heading
and 335 in the west heading, making,
as before stated, 6sl feet in all to DO
cut.

THE NEW GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

The "Paci6c Railroad Geological
Survey" which was organized at the
instance and by virtue Of a law intro
duced BY Conness, will be commenced
within o very few weeks. The survey
ing party is now on its way from the
East. 4 will fit out" at Sacramento,
but will make its first base Of operations
at Virginia city. It is expected that six
years will DO occupied in making the
entire survey.
Speaking Of this survey, the San Fran
cisco Times says:
"For the first time, we believe, in the
history Of the country, an expedition
under the auspices Of the War Depart
ment has been entrusted to the care Of
civilians. Previous surveys, undertaken
during the incumbency of JEFF Davis in
the War Office, have been carried on BY
military men, whose education and in
structions have served to make their re-
ports less valuable as geological manuals
of the regions traversed than as reports
on military routes and posts. At the
head Of the new survey is Clarence R.
King, Esq, a pupil Of Professor Dana,
sometime engaged on the aariposa es-
tate, and more lately, a member Of Prof.
whituey's Geological corps. Gardner
H. Coster and Frederick A. Clark are
the typographical engineers A. Hayne,
]. G. Hayne and S. F. Emmons are geo
logical assistants; ". W. Bailey is the
botauist Robert Ridgeway is zoologist;
n. o. Sullivan is the photographer for
the expedition, and a landscape painter
Of some celebrity, Hill, Of Boston, ac-
companies the party, which has a mil
itary organization and sufficient military
escort. Kings reputation as a man Of
indomitsble energy and thorough scien-
ti6c knowledge, as well as his experience
in the geological survey Of California,
will be ample guaranty that the noble
work about to be begun will be success
fully prosecuted to it's close, and that
this corps, which is chiefly organized by
men who engage in it from their love Of
science, will make a notable addition to
the worlds knowledge, when it shall
produce a report Of this exploration and
survey Of tho magnificent domain of
which we know so little"

GA NEW POLITICAL ERA"

The San Francisco Dramatic Chronicle
Of last Friday, has q leading editorial,
from which we copy the subjoined.
Similar ideas have been advanced by
others the Nevada (Cal.) Gazette,
among others, having used nearly the
same language as that now employed
by the Chronicle. But ~the..radical radi-
calls, in Congress, have no idea Of ad-
hitting the Southern States until after
the next Presidential electiou-no mat
ter what extreme Of acceptance is mani
tested by the Southern people:
1.-The signs of the times clearly indi-
cate q new political era, and foreshadow
the formation Of new parties. When
Wade Hampton and Governor Orr, and
all the leaders Of the chivalry began to
recognize the whilom chattel as a man
and a brother, to seek his political
utilization, to exhort him to stand
'sshoulder to shoulder with them, and
when the effect of this new and mastery
style of political strategy becomes ap-
parent, in such speeches as that Of a
reverend colored brother in North Caro-
lima recently, in which he assured his
hearers that the Southern gentlemen
were their bost friends" and warned
them to beware of being misled and
governed by Yankee iniuence-when
we see things like this, it is time to pre-
pare for great political changes.
Now let US see what is foreshadowed
by this condition Of things.
In the first place, it is clear that the
South will soon accept all the condi-
tons, however hard, which are neces-
sary in order to restore her to her pro-
p%ortionate political influence in tho
Union. In the next place, we think 1t
BY no mean improbable that the South
ern politicians will beat the Northern
republicans in the struggle for the negro
vote. They are astute politicians, and
they have evidently made up their minds
to accept the situation and bid for the
good will Of the freedmen. Now, when
reconstruction shall have been complet-
ed upon this basis, when all the South
ern States shall have been restored TO
their share in the Government, what
will be the political situation? The
South will be q unit, while the North
will be divided. A powerful minority
in the North will coalesce with an over
whelmiug majority in the South, con-
shutting a new party which will rule
the nation. In the doctrine and spirit
of this new party, Southern ideas will
predominant, while something will be
conceded to Northern sentiment. It will
be sufficiently moderate in its aims, and
sufficiently plausible in its programme,
to win the adhesion of many conserv-
alive republicans, and to reduce the
ultra republicans Of to-day to q hope
less, powerless, and louted minority.
In short, so soon rs reconstruction is
effected, the Republican, or present Con-
g~ressional party, will vanish from the
stage of action and pass into history, as
the Federal party and the Wing party
have done long ago."

COMPLETE ABRoaATIoN OF ALL
MINE TAXES

In reply TO a resolution introduced by
Mr.. Couness iuto the United States
Senate, the Secretary Of the Treasury,
Mr.. McCulloch, on March 18th, trans
mitted n letter to the Senate relative to
the taxation of mining interests, and in
such letter he incloses what he terms
"a very interesting communication
which has recently been received from
Louis A. Garnett, of San Francisco, who
was formerly an officer in the Branch
Mint in that city, and is now connected
with q very extensive silver refinery,
which communication was prepared at
the suggestion Of John Jay Knox, Of
this Department, during his late visi. in
California upon official business, and is
addressed TO him." In this commune
cation, Mr.. Garnett urges "a complete
abrogation of all axes and restrictions
upon mining enterprises" He declares
that mining operations are so unremu-
nerating that not one man for each $780,
600, 900 in q 81, 200, OOO, 900 Of bullion
extracted, has grown rich by working
the mines. He advises that the expense
of coinage be assumed by the Treasury.
This communication is timely for read
ing, when our State Legislature, acting
under the dictation Of q corrupt E1ecu-
tive, and the u of q renal press,
has recently imposed an outrageous tax
upon our mines-when not another dol
lar of revenue WAS needed over and
above what would have been received
under the law ms it formerly read. Re-
member and consider these things.
Subjoined is An extract from the let
ter of Mr.. Garrett, alluded to:
1.-THE mines of the State Of California
and the adjacent Territories have, for
the past seventeen years produced an
average Of SEQ, O0Q, 900 per annum, or
aggregate Of ST, 00V, 000, 900 Of bullion;
and yet so unremunera,irg are mining
operations as a whole, that it would
be difficult to-day 10 find in that State
one mau for each 500, 900, 900 who has
grown rich by working the mines. Min
ing is to-day, rs il always has been, 4
~tascinatin. illusion, and a complete Gbro-
cation Of all taxes and restrictions upon
miqiRge enterprises, and the repeal Of all
charges at the Mint, would tend to de-
velop the country and enhance its pro-
duets. The present tax levied upon for
eigu bullion naturally drawn to this
country for ~assaying, refining and coin
age, amounting TO one and three-quar-
tiers per cent on gold aud two and a half
on silver, has the effect to repel the pro-
ducts OF Mexico and British Columbia,
and TO force them into other channels.
The coinage OF money is n necessity OF
the Government and q benefit to the en-
tire community, and its expense should
not be borne by the few who produce
the material. Other Governments have
long since restricted their minis to coin
age only, and if the Secretary Of the
Treasury will contract with private re-
fuers for an exchange Of crude for re-
fined bullion, and hrop tie expense Of
coinage upon the Treasury, the results
which will arise in the reduction Of the
price Of gold and the consequent ad-
vance in our national securities Will
much more than compensate for the loss
Of revenue from this source.
