It Is wall knows that tha Western part of Jf.wtl Garoiira ia madetrpof ancent primitive, ami Ten revere of mora recent ' mdc formations.

Jta, Goeue, and Mica State, are ao intermingled aad associated that it will ba a work of moch la bor to ascertain tha different fields vf each and th limits of those fields. Gneiss, and especially tha bora blende variety, appears to be mora abun dant than the other. Of this the Black Moon taln b pdncipall compoaed. I saw more mica klte ia HeRdersoo (aotna contininc iaiporfct yraraets,) than aajvhere else. A coarse grained rranita abounds in Yancy county towards the hmd water of Toe Hirer, and on the road Wading from Burns ill to the Turkey Ova. This is the kind that yields the materials of porcelain. Whan it haj brto far decomposed that all the pouts r removed, tha white, tnfusUa mast that remain is the Kaolin, whibt the Frldtpar, unchanged, is the Petamie of the Chinese. . When tbeee two are mioctjd to fine pnwd!r, mixed, wrought into veasrls, and baked with an intense heal, the fusion of the feldspar fives to the material so formed the tranyiacaney that belong to porcelain. 1 found mall ntaaseacf Kaolin near Thomas Young's, in Yaery county some rear since, and durin the peeat year a bed of It at white as snow was struck tc d!rrB3 a well at Burntrille. A body of bo tifol (etdpar, fr-e from any intermixture of other mineral?, has been observed on the laads of Mr. MeKinnee, in Caehier's Valley, Macon county. J liher of these out be of much Talae cither now ur at any future time, but they enoouraga the be. l-f that the mataruls of porcelaia of a good q taU i;y wtil ba found abundantly ia some of thee counties.

Some che'nir'a ascribe it to the prseHw of mncane. Bevulius attributed it to the preeeftcvof.lhena)of S'Uiea, white others suppose it toarie frn the na'ure of tlM prawi eraplvved. Dr. Thomson was aued by eoe fntleman, wao bad b stowed partii-utar aurouon to the satject, that by Mlowing a imi Ur procem he has obtained as god imo frota oth ar Saredisb rev But that eomeiMnr is due to the ore iUelf, ia evidt froua the circum-Aance that the quality of the iron, though the sme iruLU is folktwed. diffrs a good deal accord ing to tha part of the vein from which the ore is talea Truea some unknown cause the Iron mad at Creeberty Works, in the northern part of Yancy, is, aa I aai aasored by peef4e who bare used it, af aa excellent quality bard and touch. As ibrre a an aUuMlaoce of ore at this locality it bids fair to be the seat of an indjatrv alike profitable to the fofrieora and useful to the population of tha county for a kieg period. I hare visited no other ore bed. and do lot be lieve that Iron is abundant in this rgin, but I but be mistaken.' Mr. Jobasorwf rVarnesvilU, gave me a very rich speciwn of the tnneic oxde, from S aring Crrk,tn BumcnLe. In 1827. I aaw ia the beads of Mr. Koto, in Sii-Hury. a specimen of the Spathic Iron ore. wheh be told me bad been sent to him from Fine's Crek. in Haywood county. This is the mt valuable of ail the eee t irua, aa very tolerable ateN can be xaanufsctared directly from it. I have neve been able to visit the spot from which it is sad to have come, and in anwar to my enquiries for lrn ore fmcn that quarter, have had praented to me Fo liated AaibopbrUiu front the Kkh Mounuin. This waa what I had from Dr. Uardv, at Afhe vitle, Mr. Owbnrae. on Pif"e iti'er. and Mr. Jhnatoa, at WatDsv.lla.

The following account of the courageuos con duct of tbe a young lady baa ben communicated to a New Jersey paper;" A Mr.' MT whose halth was found to be" impaired by tbe climate of the -eaboard, sns induced to remove from tbe city of New Y-rk to the interior of Illinois, his family ronsisting f his wife and three children; the old est a young lady of seventeen summers, and the youngest some threee years Early that spring, a ma'rfen lady, a particular friend of the family, and very much attached to Mrs. M. and her chil dren, removed from New York and took up her ab-ide with them. . She had not been long in her tiew home before she was suddenly taken away by death. While M r. and M-a. M-. were attending the funeral of Mis W.. Miss M. waaieft in charge of the houe and 'he young child, and the room containing the effects of the late Miss W., which was situated on the second storv of the house, was locked by th i young lady and the child put to sloop in an adj .rining room, while Miss il. was busying herself with Her duties. , ' . Some lime afterward. M'ss- M., hearing ft noise up Ftairs, and supposing the child had awoke, pro. ceeded to look after V, but found it sleeping quiet ly. W ith a thought as quick as electricity, she (included that some' one. hd entered Miss W's room fn-m the outside for the purpose of robbing it. 'Actingon this thry, she immediately went down stair", ptsieured h ar fathers doutde barrell e!gu, and ref urning opened th"door of the room o 'tue le Mis vV when her expec ations were fully realiz-d in b -holding a stout man in the very act of appropriating a gold ' watcn and cha'n, which be had just taken from a trunk of tbe late Miss W. She ordred him to lay down the wach, and the fellow, not icing her determined attitude and manner, very readily-ooniplid.v She next order ed him to take the money from bis pocket, which he had (extracted ; be aenied having taken any, when she gave a more peremptory order, accom fatnied wiiu suit'ble movements of a military na ture, when he, thinking 'discretion the better part o valor, producecf the money and deposited it with the watch. " She then gave him the passage and orders to march, which he readily obey ed. ' ' . On the return of her parents measures were taken (which proved successful ) and the fellow, after being caught, waa speedily brought to trial, fully identified, convicted, and sentenced to the Suite Prison, and tbe Court caused to be preseut d to the young lady a testimonial in the form of a beautiful pin, w'lh a suitable inscription. - A tli-rt linn after this, the tame young lady was at home alone' ai before, a nd her parents not returning at dark, he took tbe precaution to faten the outer door. She had not long done so when he heard a knock, but before exposing herself to danger, took the precaution to provide the means of do'ence in the same two barrelled gun she had n?ed n the former occasion. On carefully open ing the door a strange man presented himelf atid inquired, 4,Are you Mi- M?'' She replied, " Yes, whatdotou want?" He inqu'red again, "Are vou the young lady who had a man sent to the Stale Prison V Sne replied, I am ;" then said he, " I am his friend, and have come to put you out of the way," and, drawing a long dirk knife, wa proceeding to enter the dour, when she deli berately aimed the gun at him, and told him if h advanced a step he would be a dead man. . She immediately noti'-ed that be changed countenance and began to iremMe ; whewpon she pursuing her advantage, ordered him to ah ut face, arch, which ha very real'lv ohsral, and as he was re- treating, she gave mm a parting salute, oy ais charging ne barrel of her trusty companion, whioa unfortunately only accelerated his rttro- grade motion.

Mr. Douglas, in a recent speech - at Beardstown, pronounced this statement " an infamous !ia.' Mr. Trumbull, in his address t the people, made this charge dist'nctlv, and further oio'-e said, that to "the man who does deny it, I will cram the lie down his throat till be shall cry enough." Douglas, in reply, comes up to his work boldly, and says: . This charge was once made in a much milder form in the Senate of tbe United States. I did brand it as a lie, in the nresence of Mr. Tram but and Mr. Tiumbull sat and heard it .thus- brand ed, without, daring to sav that it was true. . I tell you he knew it to be f-Ise- when he tittered it at Chicago, and yet he says that he is going to erani the lie down tie throa', of the man who '-"enies it. until he hall cry enough. .
