THE WESTERN EXPLORERS.

Our people, who have known Prof Brad
ley, Professor of Geology in the East Ten
nessee University so favorably, will be in
terested to know that he is enjoying him
self among the rocks and the mountains of
the Great West. He is not only enjoying
himself, but is gathering laurels by way of
adding new discoveries TO Science. He
will be heard from wherever he goes. A
correspondent of the New York Post
writes an interesting letter from Fort
Hall, Idaho Territory, giving an account
of the expedition and speaks of an Z" inn
portant geological discovery made by
Prof. Bradley.
The correspondent of the Post says
Two days march from Salt Lake City brought
us to + ort Neuf Canon, famous for its columnar
formation of basat. This great igneus overflow
Is well exposed by the erosion of the stream
bearing the same name, the west bank of which
Is crowned by vertical wall of basat fractured
into five and siX-sided columns resembling the
structure of Fingals Cave. Sometimes these
walls are so steep and uniform for miles that
they can not be scaled, and some broken-down
part must be sought for before the traveller can
escape from the marshy channel of the streams
to the plateau above.
This basaltic overflow interrupted for time
the tracing of an important geological discovery
made by Prof. Bradley some miles below. The
Potsdam sandstone, the lowest formation of the
Silurian age, has often been reported by geolc-
gists as existing in the Rocky Mountains, but
the succeeding. period the Quebec group
has been looked for in vain. This has been
stumbling block in the completion of the struc-
ture of the great range of mountains dividing
the plains. But Prof Bradley discovered the
Quebec group some six miles south of Maladc
City, and with the single interruption of this
basaltic overflow, has traced it for distance OF
forty miles. The typical species of Trilobites
having been recognized in the fossils found in
of the fact The rest of the formations have
been chiefly tertiary, consisting Of lake ter

SECRETARY BoUTwELL's SPEECH

1t has been said that the present cam
paign would degenerate so low, as to be
known i'll the future as the "lying cam
paign." Mr.. Greeley's friends are trying
to make it so. They have invented a lie
out of whole cloth, in connection with
Secretary Boutwell's speech.n North Caro-
lima. The Democratic organ in this city,
edited by the distinguished Colonel C?j
lashes itself into fury over what Mr.. B.
says about "clasping hands over the bloody
chasm" of which so much has been said.
y correspondent of that organ, who prob
ably never reads anything else gets alarm
ed and writes about Grant and his hench-
man Boutwell," Below we produce what
Mr.. Boutwell, did say, as wejind his speech
reported in Greeley paper, and ask if any
honest, patriotic Southern man objects to
it:
We are advised to clasp hands across the
bloody chasm made by the war | protest
against this advice. The doctrine it contains
has been the curse oc the country from the first
and 1t bought the South to the brink of ruin
When the Constitution was formed and even
before the Constitution was formed there was A
chasm wide and deep between the free and
slave States, Often our fathers shook hands ms
brothers and friends over this chasIn, and said :
W c Will look into il no more we will be to
each other ms though il were not" But all in
VAIN Their efforts failed Your efforts will
fail, All efforts will fail if there be only the
purpose to clasp hands over bloody chasm. Is
there states manship, philanthropy, or wisdom
in this adyico2 And is not injustice the essen
tial characteristic of slavery? Often enough,
and too often, have we clasped hands across
the chasm the chasm made by injustice, and
now, after eighty years of experience are we
not bold enough to speak and accept the words
OF truth If So then let me say this chasm
must be filled up. Produced by Injustice let it
be cemeented by justice, so that neither we nor
OF children can find line or seam 60 mark the di-
VISION between US. Clasp hands across the
bloody chasm is the old and dangerous advice
OF the Democratic party. Instead of destroy.
ing the causes Of difference between us they at
tempt TO conceal them. Instead of removing
general evils, which arc the fruitful sourse Of
public calamitics they shut their eyes to the
evils and deny the danger
Mr.. Greeley, the Democratic candidate,
once wanted the anxious eyes of mothers
and the rags of the children Of Southern
" traitors - to fill up the chasm.

-GIFT TAKING AGAIN.

1t is unpleasant to deal with men, who
are known to misrepresent facts, when it is
thought that by so doing, political oppo-
nant may be injured. We had an instance
of this few days ago, when a local paper
re-published from the Philadelphia fac,
which purported to be letter from Gen.
Grant to Gen. Butterfield, acknowledging
handsome donation from kind friends
The date of the letter was so changed as to
make it appear that the gift was received
in 1868, after Gen. Grant became President.
Knowing that the date of the letter was
false, but not having before us the figures,
We wrote to Gen. Porter, the President
private Secretary, who is we'll acquainted
with the facts, and received the following
reply:

so the matter is just as we knew it to be.
The fact is, the President has not received
valuable gift sidce he came into Office,
and the persistent manner in which his
enemies harp upon this, only shows the
depth Of their malice and the weakness of
their cause. 1t all amounts to nothing
and is simply false. We call for the proof.

desperate characters who make it their
business to lie about the President started
a report that his Long Branch cottage was
gift from Hon. Thos. Murphy in consid-
Grafton of which he appointed that gentle
man Collector of Customs at New York.
Not being speech-maker nor the cores
pendent of newspaper. the President
passed the matter by in silence, as he has
done a thousand and one other falsehoods.

the subject to Hon. Milo Goodrich, "a Liber-
