To the Editor of the State Journal:

We had the pleasure, few evenings
since, of listening TO lecture at Mount
| Pleasant, near Columbia College, d. c.,
upon the subject of geology, by Professor
Brimerd. In the course of his remarks,
he alluded to the local geology of this vi
cinity, and regretted that so little was
known upon the subject of our native re-
sources. lie said that it was one of the
arst duties of the State of Virginia to
cause geological survey of that portion,
at least, lying east of the Blue Ridge
that he believed that such a survey would
develope one of the richest mineral regions
in the United States.
He could speak of Loudoun county
from his own personal observation. He
did not know to what extent the precious
metals were developed, but it was certain
that n the vicinity of the Great Falls of
the Potomac, rich viens of gold bearing
quarts had been discovered About three
miles east of Leesburg, there is copper
mine that was once successfully worked
for that metal-and near by is valuable
deposit of magnetic iron ore, but the most
valuable mineral yet discovered in that
county, is stratum Of marble situated
about eight miles southwest of Leesburg.
The principal outcrop is upon Ian
owned by B. F. Carter, Esq, and is un-
covered by any other rock for distance
of about one mile from north to south,
and has vertical thickness of nine hun
dred and forty feet (94O). The dip of the
rock is little north of east, about 2So
below the horizon.
The rock seems to lie in massive BEDS
the lower stratum presenting the white or
statuary variety, which will compare
favorably with the best Italian specimens. |
Sculptors who have examined and tested |
specimens pronounce it superior to any,
thing of the kind in the world.
Is it not a humiliating fact, that we are
sending to foreign countries for statuary
marble, for which we pay a fabulous price,
while we have at our very doors an mex
supply of unrivaled beauty and
purity.
Virginia only needs to have her natural
resources developed, to make her what ma
ture designed-the Garden Of the States.

THE SwINDLE YEsTERDAY.-The En-
quirer of this morning leads us to believe tn t
the parties who yesterday we're engaged in the
grandest fight of the season, are likely to be
arrested and tried for violating law, by SO in
dulging their beligerent natures If this be
so, and while disdaining any intention of pre-.
JUDGING their cases, we would advise the court
not to arrest them on the charge of fighting,
but to make the charge of willful and delbe.
rate intent to obtain money under false pre-.
tence.
We are now satisfied that the whole thing
was a make>up to swinde and rob those who
are ready to witness such scenes. The reasons
are simple and beyond contradiction White
is an expert, and has made several fights be.
fore. He threw up the sponge without having
received blow, except upon the back, and
that of no Importance.
There was no money risked before the ground
had been reached-no money up. except per-
haps $500 each, by the secoads, that
was not contributed by the spectators, which
added to the hire of hacks and wagons, in
which they also had an interest, will make from
two to three hundred dollars obtained by de.
ception and fraud. 1t was nothing more nor
less than successful attempt to swinde those
whose tastes lead them to witness such brutal
scenes. II the Enquirer and ourselves can't get
up better fight than this, we had better both
quit speculating upon the subject.

A GIRDLE ROUND THE WoRID.-The
electric telegraph has almost encircled the
globe. A submarine cable has been laid
and is in practical operation between
Singapore and Hong-Kong, thus placing
the British COLONY at the last named port
in direct communication with London and
San Francisco. A cable under the Pacific
ocean will complete the circuit, though the
practical results of this are now attained
for messages can be sent from either shore
of the Pacific ocean to the other, traversing
and connecting with nearly all the whole
modern civilized world in their course.

The farmers of the western States are
becoming seriously alarmed 10 regard TO
the ravages<sof the potatoe bug, and not
without good reason. Col. Friedrich
Hecker, scientific farmer of BelIevile,
Illinois, who has been investigating the
matter, says the bug is native of the Ca
mons Of the Rocky Mountains, where it
feeds on the wild potatoe. 1t left its orig
iaal haunts in 1864, and is travelling east
ward at the rate of about $50 miles year.
1t has already reached the Allegheny
Mountains, the line of its march being
over Iowa, northern Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, and Ohio and wherever the
potatoe is found in abundance this destruct-
i've insect is likely to make its way in time,
though it does not thrive in southern
climate.

Mr.. GREELEY ON THE FREEDMEN. Mr..

Tribune to the present condition of the
freedmen in the cotton States. His con-
clnsions are tersely put in the following
sentences:
'The planters who were formerly slave.
holders have uniformly assured me that
their ex-slaves are working better than
they expected and better this year
than ever before. / cannot recollect
single dissent from this averment. Judge
that the freedmen of the cotton States are
this day in as good circumstances as the
hired workers who till the soil of any Eu-
ropean country. Ga the whole, must re-

and quarter million bales of cotton
grown ia the United States in 1870 are

The LATE ELECTION IN CHESTERFIELD
CouNTY-ANoTHER OUTRAGE UpoN THE PEo-
PLE.-The commissioners of election for this
county met last Thursday to canvass the re-
turns from the different townships, when it
was found that the returns of the iudoes from
Bermuda Hundred, one of the strongest Re,
publican districts in the county, were illegally
made out, and the commissioners thereupon
threw out this township-that is, set aside the
election.
We would like to know how much longer
this process of conducting elections is to be
carried on, and would ask further, what right
the commissioners have to reject these illegal
returns. This is the province of the court ON
a contested electionstrial not of the commits
sioners.
We are glad to see that steps are being
taken to have the action of these judges inves,
tigated before U. s. commissioner. It is
clear violation of the enforcement law, and
Chesterfield is becoming quite distinguished in
this line.
