Mate Geologist.
The fallowing report of the special
committee on the hill to create the
office of State Geologist was made in
the House of Keprcsentatiqes on last
F ridav
The committee to whom was refer
red a hill to lie entitled an act to cre
ate the office of State Geologist, and
to provide for a Geological, Mineral
ogjcal and physical survey ot the State
of the State of Georgia, and for other
purposes, report as follows -
The committee favor the bill, and
with one voice recommend and urge its
passage. They have not been swift to
reach this conclusion, for experiments
have been entered on with caution.
But after thorough thought upon the
bill in all its bearings, we are persua
ded that there is no measure before
the Assembly whose merits call so co
gently for the support of every Repre
sentative and Senator. In the promo
tion of scientific researches, and the
development thereby of all that apper
tains to her material wealth, Georgia,
it is believed, has done loss, according
to her rank, than any of her sisters.
She is called the Empire State ; this
is a misnomer. She has within her
borders all the elements of an empire,
and could flourish, indefinitely, if
hemmed in by an impassable wall,
llut she is not an empire now, and
never will be until science shall tear
the mask away and let capital behold
the fields that invite investment. The
(iod of nature has given us, in rich
abundance, the materials, to say noth
ing of the slate and coal and iron of
the Northern counties of the State
nothing of the gold and copper, the
lime and other treasures, nameless and
numberless, of the Northeastern coun
ties ; nothing of the riches and miner
als and other veins ami deposits of oth
er sections. Georgia in the North,
Middle and South sections contempla
ted by the hill, will give, it is bcleived,
by the development of this survey and
the sure results thereof, the spectacle
of a body most fitly framed together ;
the Southern l>clt furnishing from in-
I cxhaustless beds its marl and plios-
^tliates to the middle sections ; the 1st
iyfer, so stimulated and enriched, trebles

A. TRUE STORY OF THE LATE COX-
FEDERACY.
The story I am going to relate oc
curred in 1861. It owes its origin to
the great war that then took place, and,
like many other interesting episodes
has never been published. The facts
were learned several years ago, narrat
ed by persons then residing in Rich
mond, and although in some minor de
tails there may ,be- some ‘slight ii
curacies, in the main the sto: _
Shortly, after the Cotton
troops commenced their influx to
Virginia, a Treasury Department was
established at Richmond. At that
time the currency, outside of gold and
silver, consisted of State and stock
bonds, which was found insufficient to
supply the demand of the accumulat
ing armies of nearly four hundred
thousand men. Richmond being the
headquarters of the rising Confederacy,
it was selected by the leading men as
the most suitable place for the issue of
their national currency.
In the Treasury Department there
was employed a man by the name of
Elam, a compositor. He was a
shrewd and tricky fellow, as the sequel
wiil prove.
After reflecting on the great oppor
tunity he had of becoming a million
aire, lie detered to strike ofl a large
amount of this money. No precau
tionary measures were taken in regard
to this establishment, as all seemed to
he engrossed in the furthering ot South
ern independence. Rut while Elam
was patriotic in the cause, he had an
eye also to business. So one night he
concluded that the opportune moment
was at hand for carrying out his de
sign. Walking along the street, he
met and accosted a man who went by
the name “ Napoleon,” divulging the
object in view, and offering an equal
partnership in the great scheme lie
had concocted, llis assistant was a
foreigner—a native of Poland—and
was nicknamed “Napoleon” from a
facial resemblance to the then Emperor
of the French.
Perhaps there never was a period,
in either ancient or modern times, that
offered a like occasion for the posses
sion of such wondrous wealth, con
sidering the slight risk to run, and the
small amount of labor performed in its
achievement. Not even Sinbad the
Sailor, in his most successful voyages,
ever met with such thrilling adventures
as fell to the lot of these two men.
Between nine and ten o’clock they
cnteied the Treasury building by it
back window, and taking the “ cuts,”
i from the denomination of five dollars
Richmond, but he alone was imprison
ed. No prosecution was brought
against the two young ladies, as all
seemed satisfied in getting hold of the
principals.
Of the vast amount of bonds they
E rintcd, but a small sum fell iuto the
ands of the authorities. Only about
$60 were found on the persons of Elam
and the young lady who accompanied
him. “ Napoleon,” suspected before
his arrest, that he was “ spotted” as
one of the bond printers, and either
secreted or destroyed hi3 portion of the
immense issue, as it was never recover
ed. .
After a short imprisonment, the re
latives and friends of Elam effected a
plan for his escape. Bvjlfiftns un
known to the public fcedisappeared
from the prison, made his escape north
ward, and for years afterwards no
tidings of his whereabouts were known.
But poor “ Napoleon,” after a brief
trial, was condemned, and suffered the
penalty of Confederate rule—a punish
ment ending on the gallows.

in printing a common business caid.
After dividing the funds and washing
the “cuts,” and placing them in their
proper places, they leit the house in
the manner they entered it, going to
their respective abodes no doubt, in
the highest glee of exhilaration, for at
that time Confederate bonds were equiv
alent to gold and silver, and in some
of the cotton »States commanded a
premium.
The issue was then being signed by
young ladies, and there was more than
a hundred so employed. Elam had a
lady acquaintance or two in this de
partment, and by this means he had
liis own and his partner’s bonds signed.
After remaining a few days, he and
one of the young ladies went on a visit
to Lynchburg, little dreaming of the
denouncement which was so shortly to
follow.
“Napoleon,” feeling richer than his
namesake, took one of the young ladies
to a jewelry store and Itought her an
outfit of jewelry, tendering a hundred
dollar hill in payment, for which he
received in change about sixty dollars
mostly in gold and silver. Next door
he purchased, in a dry good house, a
silk dress and other articles, and here
tendered another hundred dollar bill.
Late that evening the two merchants
happened to come out on the pavement
at the same time and one spoke to the
other in relation to business affairs.
The jewelry merchant said times were
flush, ami that he had received a
hundred dollar hill of the new cur
rency. The dry goods merchant said
he, too, had taken in one of the same
denomination. After a short parley,
describing the party that had passed
the bills, the dry goods merchant felt
convinced that something was wrong.
He took the hills to the Treasury, and
submitted them to the scrutiny of the
Superintendent, who examined and
pronounced them genuine.
But here I must mention the fact
that, on the morning after the
of these bonds, the paper on
they were printed was missed by the
Superintendent, and a notice appeared
in the papers stating that this material
was missing, but there seemed to be no
suspicion that money had been issued.
The fact that Elam had so uncere
moniously left his employment, taken
in connection with developing circurn
s'ances, caused the authorities to be on
the al it. Detectives were employed
to ferret out this matter, and if possl
hie to bring the guilty parties to punish
ment. Alter using ail the facts com
municated them, in furthering their
object, they decided to make a bolder
move, and arrested the so-called “ Na
poleon.” He appeared to be overcome
with tremor as the detectives and
police approached him. Having many
tacts of his guilt in their possession,
they at once accused him of tbs crime.
Aghast and trembling, he made a
full confession, criminating his partner,
and giving all the facts in detail. He
was tlieu incarcerated, and a dispatch
sent to Lynchburg for the arrest of
Elam, who was found in all the eujoy-
ment that wealth could bestow. After
the arrest of E'rm and his fair com
panion, they were hurriedly taken to

A farmer having written in a boast
ing spirit to the Cincinnati Times that
lie owned a mare thirty-one years of
age, which had worked hard for him
for twenty-four years, and had pro
duced colts which sold for 8750, an
other correspondent writes that he is
the proprietor of a mare twenty-two
years old, and that said mare has la
bored on the farm for nineteen years,
and foaled seventeen colts, eleven of
whith were sold for $1,650. The pro
geny of these two mares have not
brought high prices, for the reason that
they are not fashionably bred, but
each, considering all the circumstances,
has done remarkably well. Both have
earned their right to a respite from
labor. If the owners arc really grate

animal is abused in her old age.
uruiau iwui*ui*nui jjucuai,
was cruising off the Tonga Islands,
went ashore with twelve of the crew
to gather herbs for medical purposes.
They were all cdptured by the natives,
who proved to be cannibals.. They
were immediately hound with strips of
hark and thrown, into a sort of hole
or cave in the side of a hill, an 1 kept
there until the next morning. During
the night the unfortunate victims
heard the yells of the savages, who
were preparing for the horrible feast of
the morrow. In the morning they
were brought out into the light; un
bound, striped entirely naked, again
firmly bandaged, trussed, and laid
upon their faces on the ground in two
rows and about four feet apart. The
male savages, who hail assainbled
from the surrounding islands in large
numbers, formed a circle, the inner
diameter of which was about sixty feet,
and the women and children were
placed inside the circle. The latter
heat tomtoms and yelled in fiendish
chorus, while the males performed a
devil’s dance for fully an hour.
This done, twenty-six brawny and
naked savages—the whole gathering
of demons, old and young, male and
female, were perfectly nude—twenty-
six powerful savages advanced; two
of them seized each of the victims by
the hair and dragged them about two
thousand feet to a sandy beach, upon
which the copper-colored sun sent down
its fierce, quivering, broiling and unob
structed rays. Here was gathered
wood in thirteen piles—one for each
victim—ami the savages were seating
themselves in groups around each
pile. Another ring was formed around
Dr. Cooke and his companions, and a
short dance was performed; when at
some signal from the chief—a mag
nificent brute, nearly eight feet tall
and “ made in proportion”—there was
a dead silence. The hungry-looking
sunk on their haunches upon the sand,
licking their chops like famished
wolves.
The chief then approached the help
less victims and began a critical ex
amination of the physical condition of
each. He lifted their up}>cr and lower
lips, examined their teetli; drove his
j powerful thum into their arm-pits;
pressed his hand upon their ribs ; felt
of their legs and arms, all the while
wearing the expression of a bloated
epicure.
During the progress of this examina
tion the thirteen fires were lighted,
and added their heat to that of the
relentless sun. The chief finally ap
proached Dr. Cooke ; turned him up
on his back, wreathed his hand into
his hair, and lifted him upon his feet.
The savage marked with his finger up
on the loins of the trembling doctor
the portion of the carcass he had selec
ted for himself. As he did this, the
eyes of the savage and his dinner met.
snow The doctor inadvertently, and more by
a sprsoiodic action of the muscles than
otherwise, gave a semi-masonic sign.
The chief started, and gazed fixedly
upon the doctor’s face. The doctor
repeated the sign. The chief answer
ed it, and immediately uttered a cry
of amazement, followed bv some gibb
erish, whicli was received with a yell
of disappointment from the whole
gathering of demons, who sprang to
their feet, and rushed upon the Chris
tians. The chief swung his tremendous
war club and plastered the bound bod
ies of the Englishmen with the brains
of a score of the heathen devils before
you could articulate Jack Robinson.
He then gave a command to a subor
dinate, who came up and with a sharp
Hint cut the bonds of the white men,
and they were free.
The bodies of the savages just killed
were stewed down in six potash
kettles which had been east ashore
from a wrecked vessel in 1804, and the
horrible wretches glutted themselves
upon the bodies of their late comrades.
Dr. Cooke and his men stayed upon
the island four days, during which
time they were guarded with great
care by the chief—whom the doctor
christened Chul Chug—which is can
nibal for life-preserver. They were
treated with great hospitality, and es
corted by a long procession of savages
to the beach where their boat lav,

Tough and Tender.—A merchant

well as for his shrewdness in making a
bargain, stopped at a grocery and in
quired :
“ How m-m-many t-t-turkeys have

“T-t-t-tough or t-t-tender?”
“ Some are tender, and some tough,”
was the reply.
“ I k-k-keep b-b-hoarders,” said the
new customer. “ P-pick out the f-four
t-t-t-toughest t-t-turkeys, if you please.”
The delighted grocer very willingly
complied with the unusual request,
and said in his politest tones :
“ These are the tough ones, sir.”
Upon which the merchant coolly put
his hand upon the remaining four, and
exclaimed:

By permission, wc here state that Milton Mathews. Esn., ami his son, C. W.

Fertilized it with the DICKSON COMPOUND, and made on said 2:5 acres 25 > VL.','LT.'/.r
Bales ot Cotton. AVe are also authorized to sive their plan, and who wish can try I
it: They open one furrow putting about 100 pounds to the acre, and running
around said furrow and cover it up. Putting about 100 pounds more on each side
ot the first and covering it all up. This makes 500 pounds to the acre. When
you plant the seed, run a fnrrow on the middle row of the three distributes. The
tap roots run through the middle row. the smaller roots runs out into each of the
other two distributes, and hence one bale to the acre is made. In our judgment,
it is the best plan in use.

A Child Frozen ox the School
House Steps.—Bessie Coles, aged
ten, daughter of Writ. Coles, of Peek-
skill, N. Y., was so benumbed by the
cold last Thursday morning while on
her way to school that she was unable
to open the door. She w'as found
standing on the step her little hand
frozen to the door knob. Her feet,
legs, arms, nose, and ears, were frozen
stiff. She was iusensible and lies in a
precarious condition.
seems some five years before tl^ date
of this narrative, an English captain
was cast ashore from a wreck—lie be
ing the only soul saved. He managed
to'getinto the good graces ot Chul
Chug, and gave him the first two de
grees of Masonry. During the four
davs that Dr. Cooke remained on the
island, he gave “Chul” five more de
crees—in consideration of which “ the
heathen savage” was overcome with
gratitude. The doctor returned to the
island in 1809. He found there a
large and flourishing Masonic Lodge,
and two missionaries from England,
one of whom was roasted and eaten in
honor of his return.
Mr. Dolmage has heard Dr. Cooke
say that whenever his mind recurred
to that fearful scene on the sandy
beach, he (the doctor) could feel the
stubby finger of the giant savage tra
cing the choice parts on his body.
A man went home a few nights
since at a late hour, and geutly knock
ed at the door. “ Who is it ?” in
quired his better half. To which very
proper inquiry the heartless man re-
plitxl by asking “ Whom do you ex
pect at this hour of the night?’'
A Sad Case.—A gentleman from
the country on Saturday last reported
a most distressing incident of the small
pox terror, whicli had just occurred in
the neighborhood from which he came,
only a few miles from this city. An
entire household was stricked with the
disease. The mother died, while her
two daughters were lying at the point
of death. No one would come near
the place to bury the dead woman, and
the husband was compelled not only
to perform this sad duty, but to dig
the grave for his wife. But before he
had finished this sorrowful task he
himself was broken out with the pesti
lence, and the father and the children
were left to die without the aid
of their frieuds. — Isjuvsville Courier

iSaj- The origin of the Southwestern
Virginia salt works is curious. The
place was onco a vast swamp, noisome,
slimy and dangerous. Deer, hogs and
cattle would often be found dead there.
Vapor continually arose from the sod
den ground. So lonely was it that it
n ot the reputation of being haunted,
and when Win. Crabtree, a hunter,
settled upon it and claimed it, he found
no one to dispute his right. From
his heirs a certain William King, j
suspecting its value as a salt f e d from I
various indications, bought it for a |
rifle and a pony. He opened it and
cleared it and dug his wells. It was
a profitable business, and rapidly in
creased. Duriug the war these works
were the principal dependence of the
Confederacy for salt. Often a thou
sand wagons waited at one time to
load. They conveyed the salt for
hundreds of miles into the interior.
After several attempts the Federal
troops demolished the works, but never
held them for any length of time. The
company now have six furnaces, and
make two thousand four hundred
bushels of salt a day.
