HINTED AND PUBLISHED BY SCOTT & WRIGHT. 01','JLOGIC.VL AND JIIXERALOGICAL SURVEY OF THE STATE. Tlic Select Coramitteo to wliom was referred so much of his Excellency Ihc Governor's Mcisaie, ns relates to a Geologicnl nnd .Mincrnlogirnl Survey of tlic State of Ohio, have had the flame under consideration, nnd now Report: That they readily concur in the views expressed by tho Executive, that it is a subject eminently deserving legislative action, and one, if properly investijriUc.J, that cannot fail to aH'ord a mass ol valuable lnlonnation. The commit toe deem it a matter of rerrret that public at lenliiin has not, at an earlier period, been di-lected to a consideration of the expediency of 3iii.il ,i mini;). inure is j u si reason to be- iievo that Ihc .Mate ol Ulno is rich in minerals, tho localities ot which are at present mostly unknown) but which might bo discovered, if dili-ffent scientific search wero made, and thereby contriiintn to public as well as individual prosperity. .Surveys of this character aro not without a precedent c-lsen'here. Several oilier Slates have inon tho importance of such a measure, and have made, oraro uialiinjr, culngical surveys of Iheir respective territories; and shall wo lie behind them in a wot It uf such olility! M iss.icliusol ts, North and .South Carolina, have finished their surveys, and are now realizing the bcnefils rosultinjr therefrom. Tennessee and .Maryland have made provision by law, for similar examinations; and propositions have been submitted to Ihc Legislatures of Pennsylvania, Virginia, -New-Jersey, Indiana, and Kentucky, upon the earnest recommendation of their respective Incentives, fur tho accomplishment of similar projects. Tho Ueneral Government has likewise provide. I for a survey, which has been partially complcled, as appears by the report of, Mr. Fealliersloiihaogli, United Slates' geologist. Tho committee would briefly advert to sotno of the reasons why Ohio should adopt the example set by the General Government, and her sister States, in authorizing such a survey to be made. 1st. A thorough geological survey of the Slate would lie important, by showing ihc extent of the deposiles of coal, iron, salt, gypsum and other useful productions of the earth which are already known to exist. At fust sight it would bo supposed, perhaps, that very litllo knowledge of geology is neces sary to enable one to trace the extent of a coal mine, orof a bod of iron ore; but we need only refer to tho following facts to shuw that such a supposition would be erroneous, t is given on I ho authority of Dr. S. 1'. Iltldrelh, of .Marietta. In (be parts of Ohio whero iron oro is found must abundantly, it is observed that the strata or layers of rock aro nut horizontal, but have a slight dip or inclination. Tlie oro is found in a stratum parallel with tbp rest of the rock. .Most persons ignorant of this fact make their examination for oro at tho same elevation in (hedillercnt lulls of Ihc iron district, and are consequently unsuccessful; but if a due allowance had been made for the inclination or dip of the strata, perhaps a valuable deposite of ore migiii nave necu loiinu. neuce, many iron mines most lay useless in our hills, until some person acquainted with this circumstance happens to examine the places, or until accident shall make them known. 'i. Such a survey would bo important, by showing where new localities of theso minerals exist, that arc notknown; and perhaps by showing liiu extsienno within this Stale, of mher mine als not heretofore discovered. .Much knowledge of tlie naltir.il history of Ihecuunlry would thus be gained, and especially the pros once of valuable ores, wilh Ihc localities and exlent of quarries, and of coal and limo formations: objects of inquiry so essential lo internal improvement, and tho a.lvaiiccinenl of domestic iii'liislty, would be discovered, and Iho possession and advantages of llieui given lo the public. That such will be the result is rendered highly probable by the following circumslancc, which exhibits clearly tho iinportauco of an attentive examination of our mineral resources. When il was determined to erect a bridge across tlie Scioto, at Columbus, as a part uf tlio Xaliunal roau, with stone aout incuts anil piers, it was supposed that it would be necessary lo transporl free stone from Waverley, in Pike county, (a dis-t '0 of seventy miles,) for that purpose. Ilul the intelligence and activity of tho gentlemen who bail charge ol lhal road in Ohio, enabled them to discover an extensive quarry of time Worn', equal in quality lo Iho best granite, and wilhin ii'o iii.tof the site of Iho bridge. When it is recollected how liltlo is actually known of the geology of the Slato, we may readily suppose that new mineral productions may hereafter be discovered. In all countries where mineral deposiles have been discovered, they havo become leading sources of commerce anil wealth. The Stales of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, geographically considered, form an oblong square, extending from the shores of Lakes lio and .Michigan mi the mirth, to the Cumberland river on Iho soulli, and from the western limits of PeniiM lvania and ' irginia on the cast, lo the Wabash nnd .Mississippi rivets on the west. Throughout this region the mineral treasures are only partially known; hill from the discoveries already made, they would seem to bo iibntidant. It is tho peculiar province uf geology, to direct these discoveries, by indica ling from analogy, the localities of mineral ores, and saving the pxponi ittire of much limo and money, in the search of-iron, lead, coal, and the more precious metals, in districts of cuuntry where they aro not likely to be found. Pub-lie attention is now slrougly direclod to the great subject of internal improvement, and much anxiety entertained towards a full dcvcl-opemcnl of the physical resources of this Stale, so far as tho same can he ell'ecled by roads and canals. L'pon this point the great interest of tho Stalo essentially depends; for without a proper location, none of tho contemplated improvements can bo rendered profitable to the stockholders, or beneficial to the community. llcnce the pi-luto necessity of procuring geologies' i"1 before commencing any other im-ruantwork of internal improvement. In the construction of canals, &c, the different localities ol the beds of coal, salt, mnrblo, iron, gypsum, saltpetro, etc., should he definitely ascertained. Hy a correct geological survey, this grand desidera l, the committee believo, can bo effectually accomplished, ."d. Such a survey would ho important, bv showing the probability 0f tho existence of oilier vnlunWc minerals and ores beneath tho surface of ll.o earth, in certain places. It has broil found that tho minerals most useful to nine, nre generally associated with certain rnck formations, nnd that Ihcso formations are alwa's arranged in a certain never-varying order, ilenec an experienced gculogist, who knows .hat granilo is tho lowest rock of Iho whole leries, would never ti.iuk of penetrating il, in farrh of coal orsnlt, which nre only found in rodis higher up in Iho series. Hut if be slm nil discover any roclt, that is always found to l nhovo theso minerals, lm might, with a vcri considerable degree uf confidence, rooom-mcid tho search for Ihmn, by boring or sink-i ti n sliaflj nnd in some cases, he can even give a tolerably correct estimate of the depth at which they would be found. A remarkable instance of this kind is mem- tinned by .Mr. Featherstnnbatigli in bis report on the geology of Arkansas &c, as having lately occurreti in England. 1 be circumstances at tending the discovery of gold in Vermont, may also tend to show what reliance can bo placed in the determinations of a geologist. They are thus mentioned by Professor Hitchcock in bis report on tho geology, botany and zoology of iiiassacnusciis, page ou: ".Some time ago, one of the hands engaged in the iron works at Somerset, saw in tho American Journal of Science, a suggestion of Professor Eaton of Troy, that since tho gold of the Southern States and of .Mexico, is in lalcnsc slnle, we might expect to find it in tho tamo rock in ow England, and especially about the head branches of Deerfield river, lie commenced an examination in a brook near tho iron mine, and was soon rewarded by tho discovery of a spherical mass of gold, of tho value of more than a dollar; afterwards he found other small pieces. " I visilcd the spot a few weeks ago, and found that an individual conversant wilh the gold mines in the Southern States, and acquainted wilh the process of washing tho metal ff?Ti the soil, had just been examining the region now spokoo of. Tho result was, a conviction, that over several hundred acres at least, gold was common in tho soil. In a bushel of dirt, collected in various places, he found about threo pennyweights of very pure gold." How long this gold inirrht havo remained over looked, but for the suggestion uf Professor Eaton, it is impossible to determine. It is also impossible to determine whether similar discoveries may not be made in Ohio, until its geological character shall bo examined and made known. Eacls of this kind show nlso tho im'our- tanco of tracing the locality of evorv rock, how ever useless it may at first sight appear. 1th. Much a survey would he important, as has been very properly suggested by his Excel lency, in preventing the useless wasto of capi tal in searching lor minerals and ores that do not exist in tho Stato. Ao experienced geologist would never think of looking for gold in our coal formations, how ever brilliant tho crystals of iron, nvriles for sulphurot uf iron) may be, und however much llicy may excite tho most extravagant hopes anil expectations in those who aro not familiar with the subject; nor would he commence boring lor salt water, without first ascertaining whether he begins in a roclt that lays above or below that which usually furnishes such water. Hy ascertaining the limits of the different kind of rocks, wo should at once know much of the distribution of all our useful minerals, for each class of rocks has ils peculiar imbedded substances. I bus those which are found in lime stune, are not contained in sand stone or slalc; while iheso hae many which are never found in the runner. For want of a knowledge of Ibis principal fact, many persons havo made heavy useless expenditures, in quest of what a geologist could havo told them was never yet found among the rucks through which they wore boring. An instance of this kind occurred some years since: some gentlemen wasted a considerable sum of money in digging for coal in the lime stone rocks near Cincinnati; although coal was never yet found associated with such strata. Thus again, others havo hoped to discover gyp-sum among free slono and slate, when they might as well havo sought fur the cbinquepin of the """"""' lb" rich valleis of I tie Scioto nod Miami, or tho yellow pine aiming the sugar trees of our fertile regions. Bill. Such a survey, tho Committee believe, would bo of tho highest iinportauco lo the agricultural interest of Iho Slalc; for il is found, that tho naltiro and durability of soils, depend in a great degree upon tho kind of rock on which it rests.

Now tlie means nnd manner of accomplishing this object, would ho pointed nut by a skilful geologist more success - fully than by any olhor person. filh. Such a survey would bo important, hy diffusing correct information on theo subjects among all classes of citizens, and especially among those more immediately interested. Il will therefore prevent many injurious errors that are liablo to prevail, when no such oxamin- ations have been made. Large liloclts nl native copper havo been loiinu on me noruers to a g nlgisl hnve ev frntii their original place in the earth. But some But some oT the early explorers or that rerrion. irrnorant of this fact, commenced mining in the inline diato vicinity of those louso blocks, when there was in reality not the least probability of find ing copper. In Missouri, tho opinion was long entortaincd, that Iho immense deposiles of lead ore wero merely superficial, and not connected with the. rock beneath the soil. Tho samo opinion was nl first entertained in relation to the gold mines of Ihc southern States; and beuco only the superficial soil was examined for theso metals. Hut geologist (Schoolcraft in Missouri, nnd Olmsted in Nurlh Carolina,) have shown that this opinion wa erroneous in hoth case and tlio most valuable mines nre now such as run in veins through the solid rocks. Tho committee think it would not ho improper to odd hero, that some years since, a mas of naliioor pure lead wa discovered in a loose rock, at tho month uf tho Ail Glaize Itiver, in Ibis Slalc; and it become an important question lo determine, whether n mine of this useful metal, may nut (through the instrumentality nfacoirecl geological survey,) bo found on the rivor along the course of the M iatni Canal. The committee have deemed it not unimportant to a enrroct knowledge of tho principles on which CJeooj-y is founded, and the particular No. uses to which it may be applied, briefly to advert to its peculiar-characteristics; and, furthat pur-pose, have appended to their report, a short es say on geology, furnished at tho request of the j committee, by I. A. Lapham, Esq!, a gontle- man highly conversant with the subject, and favorably known to the public, as a contributor to that truly valuable work, Silliinan's American Journal of Science. With a full consciousness of the great importance of the subjectand that tho House may,, bo fully possessed of all the information necessary to a correct understanding of (he science, and of the advantages likely to arise from a thorough examination of ils properties, tho committee have also appended lo their report, an extract from thoaddrossuf the lion. Ilenjamin Tappan, delivered before the Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio, Deo. S'J, ls'llj. I dosing this report, tho committee feel deeply sensible, from the accidental discoveries which have already been made, without the aid of scientific examination, of the immense advantages that would necessarily result from a perfect geological survey, ltapid advances aro now making in tho construction of Kail-roads, ec. either by the Stale in her own right, or bv authority delegated t-j others, and which, when completed, must serve ns the great channels through which itn menso quantities of our agricultural and ,'inYe-al prodii(:tions, will be carried to every section of tlioLnion. The fanner, manufacturer, and indeed every class of citizens, would bo beneficially affected by it. New sources of wealth would bo opened, and tho great variely of quarries, ores.eVc. which now Unconcealed from view, would bo unfolded, and converted to tho most valuable purposes. Our soil would bo greatly enhanced in value; tho great work of inh rmd iiniiraerment would bo mure successfully promo-ted; tho cause uf science would bo advanced; a more dense population obtained: and our prosperity, individually and publicly, wonderfully increased. The object of a Geological andMincralogical survey, as tho committee have before remarked, is to bring to light those resources of our Mate, which aro connected with the soil and the ' rocks beneath. In theso resources, tho' whole ' people of the State aro directly or iudiicctly in toresleil; but Iho results of such a survey will especially benefit tho agricultural, tho artisan, and manufacturing classes, who malto up more than uiuc-lcnlhs of our population. Thus the proposed examination would bo emphatically for tho benefit of the people. It would come in direct opposition to speculation and monopolv. It would in adcgieo make every man acquainted with the value of bis own soil. He now knows litllo of il, cxc'pt as lo fertility. After Iho contemplated survey, he would know what lies beneath the surface. Thus it would raise! and improve the knowledge of the ignorant , no I frustrate tho designs ol tho knowing and the artful, who so often malto discoveries and con-1 ceil them, until they can effect Ihc purchase for! hundreds, of a tract w hich, immediately after, wuuld sell lor thousands.

Hut even those feelings, noble and exaltej as they aro, may receive a wrong direction. In the old world, Kings and Emperors and Military Chieftains have, for the gratification of their ambition, whitened the fields of their country, with the hones of deluded vassals, who havo been taught tu believe, that ill thus saci ificing their lives, they wero but answering the cause of patriotism. These are not examples worthy the imitation or an enlightened republic. Hefore we permit ourselves to bo plunged into a desola-ling war, we should pause and inquire Is il necessary! Is there no other resort! Are the wrongs we have endured such, that war, or dishonor, is the only alternative! If this be our situation, then let us meet it with becoming fortitude. Hut I deny it; and will accord mv solemn protest against the soundness of such ail opinion, let il be entertained where, or by whom it may. It has been said, in a former letter, that Gen. Jackson wished war with Franco. I believe it. Is it patriotic or right to hoodwink the people? Is tho Press justifiable in sunnrBssinn- on t, one hand, the pacific overtures of a foreign nation, while on tho other, that samo Press, by authority, endeavors to picjudico and inflame tho public mind against that nation! Ifrepre-hensiblo in tho Press, by what, epithet shall such measures be characterized when adopted by public functionaries'! You must havo noticed, and I have already referred lo the controversy between the National Intelligencer and the Globe, respecting a letter from the Duko do llroglie. 1 did hope that this discussion would have drawn from the latler print a detailed Ptatoment of all the circumstances connected, with this letter. Hut that hope is now extinguished. Tho Globe culvers and shrinks from a development of the facts; and well it may. I will, however, unmask ' U' l,a,lcl'5'i fr"" behind which, in an evil hour, it commenced the attack. In June last, the Unite do Hroglio, addressed a letter to .Mr. Pngcot, tho French Charge, on the subject of the differences between France and the United Slates. This letter was not oju-iiil, but a private, friendly communication from one functionary lo another, evidently intended as Iho basis of an informal conference, between .Mr. Pagcot and the American Secre-tary of Slate. It was of the most conciliatory character. It expressed the sincere desire of tho King ami his .Ministers to terminate existing difficulties, and to carry intoeffect the treaty of indemnity. It required no npliij, but a ftank and manly explanation uf (he .Message of the 21 of December, 1-vll. This loiter was not received by Mr. P.igcot until some time in August. On ils receipt, in pursuance of instructions, thcChareo repaired to Washington.. Mr. 'cirsyth was absent, but soon returned. An t V m " ,1 w-'", ' " , ' f cP,,c'"be.'-. "'''it followed! nl,,,, two short weeks of its reiccti.in, it was determined, in tho languago of Ihc PrcHilonl, to instinct .Mr Harlon, to ask "for the, A',. l,leriiihnliaii of the French (Jrrr-" verntnent, and in tho event of their refusal to " pay the instalments now due, without further " """" 'he United Stales." i an niese loeasures Do mistaken tip ii.i'......Io, ' kl..M.II Wl.il,.

This question tho American People nnd their Representatives, must sooner or later decide. Under Iho influence of reason and relied ion, let il be done calmly. In this stain tho matter was permitted to rest until late in November, or about the first or December, instant, when .Mr. Pagcot presented Iho Secretary of State a copy of I his letter, for Iho information and use of the Executive. The copy wa, roiuriic.l, and tho overluro again oon-Inmclinusly rejected! And why was it thus rejected! It will ,0 said, I suppose, because it was not nj'icial, because Mr. Pagcot was only noting as a private gentleman. And will Ihi, bo deemed, by the American People, a satisfactory reason for refusing to consider a pacific proposition! Arc such conferences iwi-usiial, or dishonorable! I f :,vo they never been resotled to between France nnd tho United Stales! Did not Napoleon, when in all his pomp and military glory, and surrounded 1y half a million of mercenary soldiers, receive and confer wilh Dr. Logan, a, an American pacificator! And ilid not Mr. Jeilerson applaud, nnd ascribe to Dr. Logan Ihc honor of prcsciving Iho peace of Ihe country! I havo now given you, what I believe to be a lull account ol this much talked of letlor.
