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 tth $5,000,000. 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. XEAY MARRIED MEN'—WHAT THEY HAVE TO COME TO. Adrentures Among the Cannibals-Tlio Story a Resident' of Oswegeo Tells of an Eccentric Albany Doctor. The recent sketch of Dr. Geo. Cooke of Albany, at the advanced age of 92, has already been announced. An old friend of the doctor, Mr. W. B. Dolmage of Oswego, relates many thrilliring incidents -in the early and venturesome life of the deceased, of which the subjoined is one : - -* In 1807 Dr. Cooke, then surgeon of the British man-of-war Belcher, which, ^ "* ‘ L " ' " joy misery. the fleecy products of its fields, whiie | U p ( 0 one thousand dollars, they placed the unlimited water power of the hill ! them on the press and printed on a country would drive all the manufao- j kind ol thick, \vhite paper, with no ,, • , t .... i impression on the hack of the hills, tones wc could wish for our great sta- . . 1 here was no more difficulty in print- them than there would have been pie. Your committee take a cheering and confident view of the results of the inauguration and prosecution of this work, because they know person ally much whereon they affirm. They have .. in the testimony of the rocks, and are assured of the rest by the wealth developed, power evolved and commercial rank speedily attained by every State that has had the wisdom to know the things that work for its good. Eighty thousand dollars thus judiciously expended by Pennsylvania, has increased the wealth of the State y $800,000,000. California, Oregon, Kansas and Colorado arc being peopled with emi grants induced thither by ‘.lie official and authoritative declaration of the value and extent of their mineral: soils and water powers. South Caro lina is beginning to struggle out o:‘ its financial quagmire since the hand o science has unfolded its phosphates Barren New Jersey has been complete ly redeemed by its green sand marls other States have the like history. But we cannot linger; Georgians are \ to-day leaving their own State in great numbers because they know not tie reatness of the State they arc leaving, And the Legislature of the past, un ler a false and fatal economy, are to Maine that the ignorance exists. Tell the world of our soils and pro- ucts, gems and jewels, mines and iiiauufaeturing resources; tell them he title of our treasures of economic nd scientific value, and direct trade tli European ports nud immigration I"ill surely follow as effect follows ause. The "xodus of our people ill be checked ; languishing industrie. ill take a new life; a commerce will created that will give nil electric lsc to the people and move them to Sako up a “timbrel and a song like ito Miriam.” .

This is wt thcA meriean “ Credit Mobilier” ^ formed to imitate. The name is bounced “ Craydec Mo-bevay ” < Signifies <« • • • p. loan.' ? “Buifies “ moveable, or change. 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 1. Just married ; destined to live in clover, new morn hay, and such her- bago from nine to twelve mouths. Then i 2. Home black, rascally, stormy night, you are turned out into the streets and ponds and mill-races, or amid snow eighteen inches deep, and drifting like blazes, and told to run for the doctor. When you get home eighteen chances to ten, a little red looking thing, about the size of a big merino potato awaits you. They cail it a baby; and packed up with it you will find the first real squalls of married life—you can bet on that. 2. Paregoric, and soothing syrup, and catnip tea, and long flannel, and diaper stuff' and baby colic—they will come along too ; in fact, they will be come just as much at home in the house ns dinner. Then 4. One of these nights, in 44 The wee snia’ hours ayontthe taw]/* you will turn out again. Barefoot, and icy, disconsolate, sense of damp ness about you, only a cotton shirt or such a matter between you ami the dis tressed openness of a eanc bottom chair, you will distractedly rock that baby hack and forth, and hob it up and down, singing meanwhile, with a voice like a wild ox in a slaughter- yard : “ This thing is playing out, Mary : Rock o’bye Baby on a tree top.” or some such melody. And all the time that baby yells. Oh, doesn’t lie yell! while Mary Ann, up to her nose under the warm lied covers, to help out every now and then, impatiently puts in just at the wrong time. “ \Vhv don’t you trot him faster, Samuel ?” And you trot him—oh, how you do trot him ! The little innocent seems tougher than an India rubber car spring. Just as you are about giving lip, concluding that you must freeze, that there will certainly have to be a funeral in the family inside of thirty-six hours, baby wilts from sheer exhaustion, ami then, with teeth chattering like a Mc Cormick reaper, you crawl in By Mary Ann, and try to sleep again. 5. Gradually you glide away into a tangled maze of ice, camomile, more ice, skating weather, steam-whistle voiced babies, jocky clubs, sleigh rides, crinoline as immense as the old hell at Moscow, Indian ambuscades, storms, and forty other equally cheer ful things, suddenly. 6. A snort, a thrash, a wild throw ing up of little arms and legs, and then, keen and shrill comes that terri ble “ah-waah! ah-w-a-a!” again. I guess you wake lip don’t you ! “Get the paragoric ami tea-spoon, quick !” says Mary Ann, in a sharp, taeatic tone, and don’t you get it quick ? In just three eights of a second you arc a Grecian heml out there on the cold floor, drooping paregoric into a teaspoon. Hurry! Gracious little Peter des cribing diabolical curves with all the arms and legs he’s got, and screams one hundred jwunds to the square inch, and Mary Ann, rearing around there in the bed, making a rocking chair of her hack, and yelling “ By, by, O-o-o,” like a wild Caraanche on the war path. Oh, no; circumstances are not such as to make you hurry any. And then to think as days and per haps years roll on, there has got to lie more and more of such distressed work.

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, when they took their departure.

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.

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 Journal.

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.
