Geological Survey of the State.
We have heretofore, on one or two occa-
sions, urged the importance of providing by
law far a Geological suryey of the State.—
The reasons that reader such a survey expe-
dient and necessary are too obvious to re
quire special mention. In every portion of
the State there lies buried treasures of mine-
ral wealth, now wholly unavailable, which
a mere nominal supply of money by the State
would develope and make accessible. Ex-
tensive and valuable deposits of coal abound
ia several counties West of this, cropping
oat qo the surface at several places fn Young
and wise counties. Immense fields of Gyp-
sum aie found in that fine region of coan try,
from Clear Fork of Brases to the Wichita
Mountains, and there is scarcely a doubt
that rich mines of gold and silver will .be
found in these mountains. Gald is known
to exist high up on the Colorado. We have
recently seen iron ore in its virgin state iu
.the Keecht mountains and on the hills con-
tiguous to the Brazos Agency. We give
these as instances of the mineral wealth of
Texas that have come under our own obser-
vation. We has no doubt that a scientific
geologist would Bring to light nfetals and
valuable ores and minerals- that constitute
the dements of wealth that until fully real-
ised will be regarded as fabulous.
It ia a little strange that the Legislature
has heretofore treated the subject with so
much indifference. This course however
haa probably been induced by a belief that
there was no person ia the State fully qual-
ified to discharge the duties of State Geolo-
gist. This reason no longer exists. Wejtre
gratified to learn that Dr. Fitncis Moore, of
Harris county, one of the most accomplished
geologists of the dayra npe scholar and gen-
tleman, will consent to enter upon the im
portant work as. soon as it may be author-
ized hy the State. Dr. Moore is an' old Tex
an, far nearly twenty years, editor of the
Houston Telegraph. As the conductor of the
only Journal published in the Republic du-
ring the Revolution he did perhaps-more
than any other man to arouse the despond-
ing spirits of the patriots and.cheer them on
in the struggle far independence. His office
was burned by the enemy if we mistake not
in Harrisburg, a few day hefore the battle
of San Jacinto. But it was started again
and waB the first newspaper to proclaim the
crowning glory of that decisive battle.
-Dr. Moore haa devoted all his leisure mo-
menta far twenty odd years to the science of
geology. More then fifteen years; ago his
attention was directed to the vast mineral
resources of Texas. But be was not second-
ed in his endeavoi^o develop them Texas
was not able then trctart a single surveyor y
in the field; die is able to do so aow, aod "
her own interests demands that she should
do it. We trust that the people Will agitate
this matter and require those who are caudi-
to represent

We bave only to add that the use of Dr. j
Moore's name in the above connection is
without his knowledge or procurement. Af- j

following just tribute to
elotjVprtnan from a Charleston paper "
The gifted Evxacrr ia deUvwriag hiu ---
tion on the life of Washisotos, with great
success, wherever invitation calls him, dedi-
cating the proceeds of admiseisA^Mtteyl^aid
far the privilege of hearing him discourse
eloquent music on the noblest of human
themes, to the hallowed purpose of cona^ra
ting Mount Vernon, in perpetuity, as -the
shrine of Washington and the Mecca of
America. Is it uot high" time, that the 'Pal-
metto city should take her place in the pic-
ture, by renewiag her invitation to the Bun-
ker Hill orator, to regale our ears, charm oar
minds, and enthral our hearts, with his un
rivalled flow of thought arffadiciiun, on a
subject dear to the bosatij^^Brnfiectious of
all America. We of the PflpRocity should
never forget that it was tats glorious New
England orator, and clergyman, then freshly
transferred from the pulpit lb the political
arena, who, in his maiden speech, delivered
from his place iu Congress, in the year 1826,
as a representative from Boston,-said, in bold
and fearless tones—"he had studied Chris-
tianity all his mature years, and Greek ail
his life, aad he knew nothing in the New
Testament against slavery," and that "there
was no cause in which he would soouer
buckle a knapsack ou his back and put a
musket on his shoulder, than that of putting
down a servile insurrection in the South;",
and who. in 1853, in his Anniversary Ad-
dress, before the Colonizatiou Society* at
Washingttto, Vindicated the institq^on of
African slavery in America, as a great Prov-
idential dispensation and instrumentality,
uot only for the culture and enrichment of
America, but far the ultimate civilization of
the African and the regeneration of Africa.
Will our city cotemporaries and brethren of
the pressy ield us the right hand of fellow-
ship in the premises, and co-operate with
us in soliciting the eulogist of Washington
to deliver his universally admired and laud-
ed address to the .Charleston public, ■ and
also in giving him a if ay welcome to the
Palmetto city ? ' ,
addenda.
The fallowing is the passage in Mr. Eve-
rett's maiden speech, in which he pledged
himself to do prompt and willing military
service againstdomestic insurrection in the
South:
•'8ir, I am no soldier. My habits and ed-
JBation an> very uiunilitaiy; but there is no
eaaas in which I would sooner buckle a
kttapsaek on ny back and put it musket on
lay shoulder, than, that of putting down a
servils insurrection ia the Soth. The great
relsti— of servitucje, in some form or other,
Tith greater or less departure from the theo-
retic equality of man, is inseparable from
our nature. Domestic slavery is not, in my
judgment, to be set Sown as an immoral or
irraugious relation. No, sir; the New Tes-
tamhnt ssys—' Slaves, obey your masters. '
I cannot admit that its duties are not pre-
supposed sad sanctioned by religi- n. I
kno w of no way by which this servitude can
be fixed, but by positive institution "

Is doubtless one of the most valuable discoveries to
afflicted humanity that has been produced in the

the biliary Organs.

IT NEVER FAILS TO EFFECT A CURE
Without attempting to picture the evil effect*
daiiy caused and entaijed on the «uman family by
the useof Mercury, which the physician in prescrib-
ing knows toaea cure, but little, preferable- to the
disease, a preparation wholesome, harmless and
equally efficacious will be received as a blessing to
many a-poor suffer jr. The deleterious effects of the
subtile drugs which too many use to the des:ruct!or
of health and happiness, may be eradicated by the
use of a few bottles of the Hygienic Panacea, and
thousands for whom life presents no longer any
charms may be relieved of their despondency and
restored to robust heqfth by it in a few weeks.

CELEBRATED
German Bitters,

German Medicine store,
Jfo 120 Arch St., one door below Sixth, Pkila.
Their power over the above diseases is not ex-
celled, if equalled, by any other preparation in the
United States, as the cures attest, in mai y cases af-
ter skilful physicianshad failed.
These Bitters are worthy the attention of Inva-
lids. Possessing great virtues in the rectification
of the liver and lesser glands, exercising the most
searching power in weakness and affections or the
digestive organs, they are withal safe, certain and
pleasant. -■ a-'

the discoverer (who spent a decade in studying, ex-

to be the most surprising and effective remedy for

All other componnds or syrups of the root have

PROFESSOR WOOD'S
HAIR RESTORATIVE,
Is, no doubt, the most wonderful discovery of this
age of progress, for it will restore, permanently,
gray hair to its origlual color, cover the head of
the bald with a'most luxuriant growth, remove at
once all dandruff and itching, cure all acrofala, and
other cutaneous eruptions, such as scald head, etc.
if will cure, as if by magic, nervous or periodical
headache; make the hair soft, glossy, and wavy,
and preserve the color perfectly, and the hair from
falling, to extreme old age.
The following is from a distinguished member of
the medical profession:
St. Pacl, Jan 1.16S5.
PROF. O. J. WOOD—
Dkar Sir—Unsolicited, I stnd you this certifi-
cate. After being nesrly bald far a long time, and
having tried an .he hair restorative! extant?
having no faith in *ny,l was induced, on hearing
of yours to giro it & trial. I placed myself in the
hands of a barber, nad had my head robbed with a
good stiff hnish, and the Restorative then applied
and well robbed in, till the scalp was aglow. This
I repeated every morning, and in three weeks the
young, hair appeared and grew rapidly from August
last till the present time, and is now thick, black
and strong—soft and pleasant to the touch; where
as, before, it was hursh and wiry, what Uttle there
was of it,and tbat little was disappearing very rap-
idly. I still use your restorative about twice a week
aud shall soon have a good and perfect crop of hair.
Now, I had read of these things—and who has not?
but have not seen hitherto any case where any per-
son's Lair was really benefitted by any of the nair
touio, etc., of the day; and it really gives me pleas
ure to record the result of nay experience. • I have
recommended your preparation to others, and It al-
ready has a large aud general sale throughout the
Territory. The poeple here know its effects, and
have confidence in it The supply you sent us, as
wholesale agents for the Territory is nearly all ex-
hausted, and daily inquiries are made for it. You
deserve credit for your discovery; and 1, for one,
return you my thanks for the benefit it has done me,
for I certainly had despaired long ago of evrr ef-
fecting any such result. * -x
Yours, hastily, J. W. BOND,
^ Firm of Bond St Kvlley. Druggists, St. Paul.
[From the Editor of the Real Estate Advertiser.)
Boston. 27 School St., March £0, 18S5.
DkaR SiR—Having become permanently iquite
gray, I was induced, some sis weeks since, to|make
a trial of your Restorative. 1 have used less than
two bottles, but the gray hairs have all disappeared;
and although my hair ha* not fully attained its orlg*
inal color, y  t the process of chauge is gradually
going on, and I am in great hopes that in a short
time my hair will be as dar<t as formerly. I have
also been much gratified at the healthy moisture and
vigor of the hair, which before was harah and dry;
and it has ceased to come out as formerly.
Respectfully yours, D. C. M. RUPP-
Professor Wood.
carlylb, Illinois, June 19, 1825.
I have used Professor Wood's Hair Restorative,
and have admired its wonderful effect. My hair
was becoming, as I thought, prematurely gray, but
by the use of his Restorative,*' it has resumed its
original color, nnd 1 have no doubt, permanetly so.
