(Gtologiral and Agricultural Survey. Mr Editor : Prof. Mitchell says that I have given a false account of the Chatham coal-held. I will not be unfair to Prof. M. I do not pjre tend that he intends to call in question the ac curacy of my details, respecting the outcrop of the coal seams, their dip, strike, thickness, the relations of the strata to each other, or their succession, the fossils, their indication, etc.; but that niv assumption, that the coal seams ex- tittereTOiUsCiildu theriiiiof the coal- field, is false. What 1 stated in my" repbrfof " the extent ot the seams, sabclwj, and that be lief is founded upon observation and experience. All our 'knowledge in mining is founded really upon observation. Veins, carrying metals, are known to extend into the solid rocks 1, DUO to 2,000 feet. In England and South America, mines have been worked to a depth of 1,500 to 1,1100 feet, and yet not exhausted. A'ow, money is freely invested in mines, and invested on the belief that they penetrate to great depths. The belief is founded upon what has been and what is. Anv person, to be sure, might sav ol any vein carrying lead or copper, which was exposed only at the surface, that an investment is not warranted, because the vein in question may not extend to a sufficient depth to furnish the n mount of material necessary to make it profitable. You can't see how deep it extends, and therefore know nothing about it. In such eases we appeal to experience. AVhat do we j find, the world over, with respect to the depth of veins? I answer, that such an uniformity lias been observed with respect to them, that we are put in possession of a rule, which, when applied judiciously, or agreeably to known facts, makes investments safe in all cases, or they may be regarded as unsafe in the absence ol certain facts. A knowledge of these facts and rules, I might say laws, makes the difference between the opinions of a well-informed geologist and the individual who has no knowledge of 'the subject. But, Professor Mitchell is anxious that the people of Fayetteville should not make them selves ridiculous to then- neighbors, by building a Hailroad to Deep River. Let us see how much danger there is of their being ridiculed in the execution of the project. Suppose, then, a rich company owns 1000 acres, whic h is un derlaid with the present six or seven foot coal seam. The company would possess upon the tract 9,800,000 tons of coal. The calculations wuicn have been maue ot all the expenses oi mining and transportation to Aew lork, leave a nett profit of one dollar per ton. Upon t hi basis, the company could aiEord to build the railroad to FayettevilTe. Professor Mitchell will uot, of course, deny that, in his belief, there is one thousand acres ot oai, "for" lie has taught his classes, for many years, the doctrine,- that there is a valuable coal-field in Chatham ! I will make another 'supposition. Suppose tht coal seams extend, twenty miles along the out crop, aud half a mile within the outcrop or edge, which is equal in breadth to the part of the Richmond field, which has been proved by shafts, making ten square smiles of coal. In a square mile, there will be i,272,000 tons of coal; ii: ten square miles 02,720,000. Hut the dip oi the Richmond seams is much steeper than that of Chatham, and yet coal is obtained by shafts sunk at one halfa mile from the outcrop. Can the foregoing supposition convey a falsehood to the Legislature or to a company, of the value ot the Chatham coal field? Can the enterprising people of Payetteville say hereafter that mv account of the Chatham coal-field was false, in the face of existing facts? The Richmond coal field, with all its disadvantages, is worked suc cessfully half a mile from its outcrop, and at the depth of 800 feet; and can the people oi Payetteville be exposed to the hazard of ridi cule, by building a Railroad to Chatham, when a thousand acres of coal is sufficient to warrant the building of the road ? It would not. Ik unfair, to say, that the enterprise of Payette ville should make this road, llow much the in terests of the interior counties demand this!

AV. Ltiiie, the well known Eastern Traveller and Orientalist ; and would add that iu I84i we ourselves saw a very violent caw on shipboard completely cured by the use of precisely the fame remedies indeed we believe that many oi' our shipmasters for years have used the treatment in such eases suc cessfully, general'-, however, adding salt to the other ingredients. "While residing in Cairo, in 184S, when the cholera was raging there, I wa informed that an Emrlishiuuti in a small neiirhborintr village had effected a speed v and perfect cure in every case of that disease which he had an opportunity of treating:. The number of the eases was (2. ind many of them were verv malignant: audi subsequently learnt that his mode of treatment had been practised with equal success in Spain, Constantinople, and India, and was never fol lowed by typhus or typhoid fever, whic h proved fatal in many cases when the c holera itself had been subdued by other means. Upon applying to him, 1 received the following- directions. whic h 1 practised in a few eases which after wards occurred in my house and elsewhere, and with invariable suc cess. Jf the patient have not 1 vomitted the poisonous matter, which is a char acteristic of the rice water, give mustard m a tumbler of cold watt r, as tin emetic. After the votnitiny: (whether produced bv the disease or by the above means,) within a few minutes give u wine glass of brandy w ith ten grains ol powdered capsicum (Cayenne pepper) st.rred up in it. This generally produces til most immediate relief, and within an hour rest, perspiration, and sleep.. In a few eases it was found necessary to give a half dose of the brandy and capsicum after half an hour or more. A second half-dose v. as never required, but should it be required, it may be given. No other fluid should be drunk before recovery To accelerate? .convalescence, it has been suggested that 15 urops nm, mTxtflre-tir spirit- f.T377TmnTrtnrnntI " sulphuric ether, in equal parts, may be advan tageously given three or four times during the following day.

He devoted' himself with great assid tity to the completion of his studies, that he might obtain a diploma, which would make; him honorable in the estimation of the betrothed. In one of their conversations, they got into an irgiiinent on some; abstruse point of law, ethics, or scienc e, and the discussion finally became so warm that, the high-spiriteei lady, finding it im possible to conquer her antagonist by the fcrcc of reasoning, resorted to a more forcible urrange .nent, and actually boxed her lover's ears. Her hot tempe r soon cooled, and upon reflection she was so shocked at the outrage she had committed that she insisted upon making some suitable itonement for the uiipurelonubfe. insult.

October 15, 1853 tends only half a mile within the outcrop, I elo not chauge my views, or my belief, that it ex tends three. If a company or an individual, however, thinks my belief too great, he may take up with a mile, or a quarter of a mile, iu breadth, and twenty miles in length. For the present, either is sufficient to warrant the in vestment of all the capital which has as yet been thought of. If the Legislature expected of the geologist an exact statement, to u foot, of the amount of coal in the Chatham coal-field, it would have said so, and have also furnished the means for doing it. What the Legislature ex pected, and what sensible men expect, is, that I should first acquire the facts w hich are peculiar to this coal-field, and from these facts exprcst such an opinion of them, and furnish such illus trations of those facts, as I deem proper, or such as will furnish a correct view of the relations of the mass composing the coal-field. It is well to remember, that the Richmond coal-field, which has furnished a coal seam one-half a mile within the outcrop, shows, at that distance, no signs of giving out. Before I close, I wish to allude once more to Prof. Mitchell's class teachings. He says he has taught for years that there is a valuable coal-field in Chatham and Moore. I wish to know on what that doctrine is based. What does the Professor mean by valuable There can be no doubt that he means that the coal fields has a sufficient amount of coal to make it valuable for commercial purposes, and that it is valuable, iu the face of all the difficulties and expenses attending its conveyance to market. How did the Professor arrive at such a con clusion ? What facts had he ascertained which would warrant it ? It must have beeu a delibe rate opinion, formed in view of certain facts. It appears from his statement that his views really do not differ much in this respect from others. They are not quite so glowing, so full of promise, yet they are still sufficiently so to warrant the heavy expenses of mining and trans portation to market, and leave a surplus over and above all these for the remuneration of en-. She declared she would never consent lo marry a man who could rec eive such an insult as she had been guilty of inflicting upon him, without resenting it or demanding reparation. Finally, however, the love which she Mtill retained for her unfortunate friend suggested a mode of effect ing an honorable healing of the breach. She proposed that the matter should lie settled by a duel. This being her ultimatum, lie reluctant ly consented. The preliminaries were adjusted, seconds appointed, and the parties proceeded in a carriage together, to the spot designed for the combat. The h'dy loaded both pistols her self, the stand was taken, the word given, and the shots exchanged. Both were unharmed, the balls next having grazed eiiher of their pcr- - i , i v . .1 i . sons. ouimeu nonor, nowevci, nas ouiy healed, and the duellists rushjtd into each other's arms full of hive which was just as good as new. A V.'ord (o the Ladies. We confess we felt a little no"; not a little, but very deeply mortified, on reading the fol lowing advertisement in a Virginia newspaper: "Scotch Snuff. A very large steak of above, put up expressly for North Carolina trade and for sale at very Jow rates." We felt mortified because the intimation is here made, and, we fear, too truthfully, that the practice of begriming the soft, pouting, red lips of the ladies, which nature seems to have designed expressly for the purpose of kissing ami emitting soothing and musical sounds, with nauseous tobacco dust, is peculiarly prevalent iu Xorth Carolina. This is a subject of reproach to the lovety fair ones of our State a practice in itself indecent, ami unhealthy, and one which they should be ashamed to indulge in. The Irish will hardly ever get clear of the opprobium cast upon them for their blunders the Dutch for bungling, or the ladies of Xorth Carolina for the nasty practice of dipping snuff. But we hope the latter will make the effort and in the course of years they may succeed. IVarrcntin J'eurs. -4'
