THE aEoLoaroAL SURVEY.

In passing, we called last week at
the tent of Professor LITTLE, near
the grounds Of the Georgia Military
Institute, and had pleasant inter
view with the Professor and his AS
sistant Mr.. McCutchen, His obser>
vations, at present, extending from
Carroll county northward to Duck
town, Tenn, are only preliminary
and have reference mainly TO the
Copper lead, not without indications
of important results. Other miner
illogical induces win be noted as well
as the general character Of the Geo.
logical formations and of soils in the
counties through which he passes,
but all with a view to a subsequent
and thorough exploration Of our ma
terial resources. Our people should
give him q cordial greeting in his
progress and load themselves with
specimens" of their rocks for his
examination. We have furnished
him with some Of Mr.. Frank Kings
Iron Ore just below Marietta and
specimens from other sections Of the
County, and If our readers will for
ward to us such MS indicate valuable
deposits or formations we will take
pleasure in labelling, boxing and
forwarding them to the Professor at
his headquarters in Atlanta. Re-
member that the State Geological
and Agricultural Bureaus are CO.
operating in illustrating the material
resources Of Georgia aud that any
thing which can aid in the results
contemplated will be gladly well
coined.

IN TWO rH1Nes coNg1sTnMr.

Georgia Legislation is remarkably
consistent in two things--in taxing
the diffusion Of knowledge among
the people, by trsnmeling the press,
and in refusing to pass Dog Lar,
SO necessary 10 the advancement OF
the industries of our people. lie,
pressing the general acquisition OF
knowledge and fostering the difficult
ties attending the arduous labors Of
the farmer in advancing the wealth
of the State! We may, perhaps,
add another fact thoroughly consis'
tent with the foregoing-a fact to be
found in the heavy and largely I'M
necessary taxation with which our
resources generally are burdened.

THE COUNTRY PRESS.

II is fact that you can reach the
country trade and public much
cheaper and far more eifectually by
advertising in tie standard papers
OF the county than by any other
means.
The old-established weekly news,
paper is after all the most advan
tageous medium for the city dealer
to reach the country customer it is
read from the topmost line in the left
hand corner Of its title-psge to the
end letter Of the final word ON the
last page, and--entertaining the
highest appreciation of the country
editor--we would observe that the
advertisements are as carefully read,
and not unfrequently longer borne
in remembrance than the more edi-
flying contents of the paper. II is
safe to assume that the country pa.
per is read by an average often per.
sons to each subscriber; it is retained
in the house of the economic farmer
or mechanic from week to week as a
matter of reference, unless loaned to
the less thrifty neighbor, who is too
mean to take paper, and too sensi-
bic to do without il when he can OBJ
tain ii by loan or theft.

GENERAL SHERMAN AS A RECON
cILIATIoN CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT.

PRESIDENT.
The Washington Chronicle Of Fri
day contained leader especially
eulogistic of the character and SER
vices Of General Sherman, which,
according to Washington dispatch,
excited much attention in political
circles in that city. The memora-
bic Johnston-Sherman compact of
April, 1865, is commented on By the
Chronicle az an act ofliberal and en-
lightened craftsmanship, which was
drawn in accordance with the delib-
crate instruction Of Mr. Lincoln, but
stupidity and unpardonably disap-
proved and set aside by his success
sor ia Office. The article goes on
to state that General Sherman has
never since the war been heard to
utter one unkind or illiberal senti-
ment towards those of his fellow-cit-
liens who had been overcome in
arms, and has never hesitated to ex-
press his ardent desire for general
amnesty. The Chronicle also praises
Gcnerel Sherman for his ability and
facility in public speaking. and,
while it does not condemn Grant,
1t commends General Sherman for
all those qualities in which Grant is
notably deficient. We learn that
there has been Of late considerable
talk among Sherman's friends of
bringing him forward as Presiden-
tial candidate for 1876, and it would
seem from this elaborate article that
it is their programme to run him as
the peoples candidate on the basis
of amnesty, reconciliation and peace,
es opposed to the Grant idea Of mill
tary subjugation and an enduring
sectional hatred. The Chronicle is
not regarded in Washington as work
ing very well in Administration ira
ces, or as willing to so the third
term scheme.
