W>LAROM* DAU.T. TBI-WETKLY. AN D WKKKLT CIRCULATION, OP AKY PAPER iy WHEELING^ >T We haTe before us a littiTbook on Geology No department of learning has, in modern times, met with so sudden and general a revival as has that of Geology, within the past few years. We say revival, because Geology is not a sc'encc of recent origin, as some suppose; for t hough brought into its present state or advance ment in late days, it was yet taught and some ?ery correct ideas had on the subject in very early times. That it is a science of very great importance must seem obvious to every one. Not only does it develop, in a most wonderful degree the great works of creation, but it opens out vast resources of material wealth,-thus adding largely to human prosperity and happiness. . chlef objections which Geology, as Z science has met, are that some of its leading principles are in direct conflict with the teach ings of Divine Revelation. To the casual eye of the unreasoning and unlearned, such a con flict does seem to exist; a very serious obstruc tion is thus placed the way of its progress - ut, notwithstanding this seeming discrepancy, Geology has still pushed its researches, and as greater lights are thrown upon it, apparent con tradictions vanish. At one time, most stubborn opposition was made to the new system of Astronomy, then introduced, which taught that the earth moved on its axis, and that the Sun did not move around the earth. Was not the "rising of the Sun, and "the going down of the same " cx fSr me"tioned i" the Bible? Are we not th t iaV'G^ laid the foundations of the earth that it should not bo removed, forever?" How then could the Sun be stationary, or the earth moveable? Such were the arguments brought by unlearned readers of Revelation, and it re quired many years to prove that no conflict be tween Astronomy and the Bible existed. Just so with Geology and the Bible. Appar ent contradictions present themselves, but it is at last coming to be seen that no contradiction in fact, exists, and that the Bible may be be lieved consistently with a belief irt the principles of Geology. Let us look at some of the exam ples or appjrent discrepancy: According to the account of .Moses and the writers or the Bible I r .T ",U qU,le 6000 rears Sl'?ce 'he crea that fh ^ W?rId' uGe0,"g!sts' however, claim that the changes which have taken place in the world have required countless years. Vet this discrepancy may bo reconciled on several rea sonable grounds. By the six days of creation may not be meant six literal days or 24 hour* Oich ; and there are strong arguments to show that such was not meant. The explanation, however, which is most generally adopted by Geologists, contains in it nothing either absurd or contrary to Scripture, and entirely reconciles Science with Revelation. It is, in brier, this ? Moses first relates the original creation. He then passes over a long period of time, during wlnclv the races of animals (whose fossil remains are the proof of (he great age of the world) lived and perished, and then relates the history or the existing creation, which took place in six natural days. Thus may every other seeming difficulty be so'ved. But, it will take some time yet to en ighten the world sufficiently to eradicate the groundless pftju.licea against this newly re v.ved science. Learned men must not be dis. couraged because ignorant ones declaim against their benevolent efforts, for in the end Wl l PreVrU 0Ver ?f ""^erstanding, and IGeoJogy (as Astronomy has) will prove ?1oV?h'ie?.ehandmaiden' inSle?d ?f ? ^ > We have, from a Mr. T. Hewson, of" Canada a pamplet on the best and cheapest mode or in! durating railroad timber, so as to preserve it rom decay. The modes in use aro too expen sive Tor such enormous amounts or timber as railroads use. and his object is to suggest a cheaper system. His pl?? is t0 co J?uct * wooden tank as deep as the length or the tim crs to be treated, and large enough to hold 100 sills or ties placed butt end down in it, and after the sills are properly placed, to HI1 it with pyr ohgnite of Iron, which drives out the sap and preserves the wood. A tank that will hold 100 ties or 7 Teet long, only costs *70, and can be moved from place to place as may be found handiest for use. Seven days' soaking in this solution added 8i pounds per cubic foot to the tn$L ?f S?me 8pecit"ens of timber thus Some days ago, in a piece or raphsodical ti rade the younger Democratic paper declared that Senator Caldwell was elected by the votes or tne pure unamalgamated Opposition." A few days thereafter it stated that he was elected as "a Whig Senator?" Yesterday it declared that "ho was elected not as a party man, or through party feeling but on account of a local issue connected with the Panhandle road." The editor seems to set a high estimate on the good sense or his readers. \V? 8),0uld ju(, that lie had been a student or, the "Asinine pa pers which have for their motto?'*Ego sum The water wheel or the New Y^k Beltin Company on the Patatook river is 50 reel indi* ameter, and is the largest in the United States ' 7" J"t aOMehody ,0 be the largest in the WlJhl P I *P/CarS there ls one on the Isle or .JtaJwU W iS 72 feet 0 inchM ^ J Two biographies have just appeared, which | we recommend to oar readers, as books which I deserve tho rare praise of being suggestive. Oneis Goethe in Weimar, a little ;Volume which pretends to be no more than what it is?a series of sketches of the great king of German litera ture during the calm years of his later life. Nothing could be more charming than these quiet, delicately painted pictures of the quaint little German city of Weimar, and the simple home life of the masters of song and philosophy whom the good Duke Karl August assembled in his court. Wo lay down the book with tho conviction tbat we. have actually been there, have partaken of Uiepeaceful yet homely hos pitalitv of tho ducal, court, havo talked with Wieland in his ivy-hung study, reverently knelt in the little church where Herder preached sermons which all Europe echoed, entered tho theatre in the narrow street, for which the greatest poet of Germany wrote plays, where Goethe himself was manager; read the inscrip tion npon the door of the humble house which is now a sort of German Mecca, via: "Here Schil ler dwelt, and wrote his Song of Joy." We finish the description of the little town and its inhabitants with tha feeling that we have been among the giants who dwelt in the land, or like the adventurous Knight in the old Norse Saga, who entered the quiet house of the gods and saw them in their home-life, saw the place where the lightning and thunder was made which was to lighten or to shock the world. A life of Goethe has long been a desideratum in literature. We saw, lately, a suggestion that Carlyle should supply it From that biography may Providence deliver the land! Carlyle, though perhaps the most profound of English thinkers, knows but one trait in any character worthy of being noted.?Force of will. All other characteristics are to him but trifling ac cessories. The possession, or the want of that, makes or unmakes tho man in his judgment. He is blind to all else. A life written by hiin of a man with a character of such infinite de velopements as Goethe's would be like a picture of the rainbow in India ink. To write a true life of such a man would require a grasp of thought as wide and powerful as his own, for he rises from among the crowd of the inspired prophets of the world of Thought?liko Saul among his brethren, the god-given crown upon his forehead. His works are a study in them selves; the study, we may say, of the history of | humanity in its progress from a youth of gro ping, pain and unrest, to the clear full sunshine of perfection. To write this history was Goethe's mission into the world, and to perforin it, he looked into his own nature and saw there reflected, as in a mirror, all human character and powers: A peculiar nature, unique among men. An imagination and creative power which only Sliakspearo can rival; a logic al capacity of Titan strength, a capability of love, and liate, and suffering, of an infinite depth, and over all, (the point that constitutes I the peculiarity of the man and his real strength,) | a certain critical speculative eye of reason, that : looked coolly down into the vast intricate workings of his own strength, into the pas sionate struggles of his heart, and calinlv , noted them down, a lesson for all lime. In ! this, lay the power of the man, when his dis ciples denominate the "Only one"?tho "micro cosm among men." Hence, as we before said, his works, are, with all their magnificent dis play of power, their unestimated variety of sub ject and diction, a series of pictures by a mas ter's hand of the history of the common mind of humanity. They remind us of Raphael's cartoons, where the same face appears in innu merable changes of landscape and costumes.? We can trnce his progress from that dim cry of suffering uttered in his youth, the embodiment of all tho impatjent longings, the vague pas sionate desires of happiness and love of a young heart, to the last grand work of his calm, full old age, when "eternal sunshine had settled on his head." In that last work, WiK i helm Meister, be has solved the enigma of life, has learned the one lesson taught by itsdreamN est nights of pain and by its days of flashing sunshine, to work for the Right in profound calmness of spirit "like a star, without haste, and without rest, each one fulfilling his God ; given tack." "One thing there is" he says, "which alone can make a man, a man?Rever ence; and that the gaining of that three fold rev erence is the history of our lives First, rev erence fur what is above us, natural to children | and to nations in their earliest stages?the Pa ; gan religion; reverence for what is around us, 1 tlie free frank nature of the man, which draws | proudly to himself, all things above and below, | the Philosopher's religion; and last and highest, j the reverence for what is under us, to recognize in poverty and suffering, pain and death, tho divine?and honor them?the Christian reli | gion." In this brief comprehensive resume of j his own experience, he taught that of the world. We have neither time norspace to notice the ; other book to which we referred, The Life of Ileyne. We may do so at some future time. The luminous young man who runs the Times, i (in the ground,) bursts tho fetters and scatters the conventional usages ami trammels of lan- . gunge like a load of manure. He says that we "profcM principles in a hidden way." Look into your dictionary, O 1 you ruthless Solecist! nnd see that profess menus "to make open (not hidden) declaration of." "Ake you assessed?" is now the question that our exchanges in Pennsylvania arc asking ev ery day of their readers. To-morrow, Friday, is the kit day on which they can be assessed in time to vote. Big times up in old Dutchland 'foro long'now. Tup. younger Democratic paper wants to ! know whom the Intelligencer will support for j the Presidency in 1800. Most likely the Wheeling nominee. Who'll be supporting you, about that time? The American Dank Note Company hive ' made a contract to furnish plates and bills, exe cuted in the very best style, for the National ?Bank of Greece. Bank bills in the land of Soc-' : rales nnd Plato! A writer in one of our exchanges is engaged in the rather profitless task of commenting upon an3 exploding many of'"the'cld adages to which we. have been accustomed ever since the world began. First the adage, "All's Well that Ends Well," is 'set down/us simply nonesense, for, says the writer, -"An innocent man may hung, and Gnd himself in heaven; yet wo are of the opinion that it is not well for a man to be hung, though o does get to paradise, in consequence, sooner than ho otherwise would; for his family will be disgraced, and, lacking his protection, may suf fer the pains of poverty. It may be said that, in such a case as the one last supposed, the raans earthly end was bad; but Aota could hang ing be a bad thing for him?according to the adage?ir thereupon he enters into glory? The^ truth of "Faint Heart never won Fair Lady," is admitted, but it is contended that many a fair lady has won a faint heart and made it strong: And sometimes a strong heart has broken on account of some fair lady, who wasn't worth a Mngle throb of the faintest kind of a heart; though strong hearts seldom break of love, but ot an excess of bitterness. We are of the opinion that a lady, fair, or otherwise, who cannot be won without?oxtraor* dinary exertion or pertinacity, can never be won at all. Love goes where it is sent and cannot oe forced in any direction. l^C 'lan^ 's worth two in the bush," is summarily disposed of by saying that the truth of this depends altogether on the character of the "bird in band" or those in the bush. The "bird in hand" may bo a detriment, whereas two, or any number of the same kind in the bush, are "nothing to nobody," unless some one is fool enough to seek thein. Dr. Johnson once said, that he never felt so el, y' ,and hopelessly at a loss, so perfectly fllllii a"i ! ess' as when 1)0 once took up a Hddle, and essayed to make a decent sound come out of it. He added that a man could do many things well, without having been previ ously instructed at all. but that no man who Wf ? ?x',s 1 ' could PW nU "nee, even in the slightest degree upon the fiddle. It is verv much so with the Caldwell organ. It cannot produce a decent sound, such music as we are now getting from it, would exasperate even the O loctaws. Its latost effusion, or discovery, is, V?te f?r Mr" CaldwcI1 ?Ti.nL of We cu" the above as a curiosity, and as a specimen of the "inimitable Prcntician style' in which the younger Democratic Organ "points a moral and adorns a tale." In explanation, and as sort of guide to its peculiarity, we may say that the beginning and ending of the story of Dr. Johnson and his fiddle, and the applica tion of it to us, is contained entire in the above clip. We submit the point, pith, pertinency, brilliancy and perspicuity of it, to a discrimi nating world.

Victoria Br'deo, remarks as We wish, for the sake of the Canadians, that her .Majesty would undertake the journey She seems to be a good sailor, from the frequency of her journeys in the royal yacht, and a voyage across the Atlantic would bo nothing to oHe accustomed to the cross cunents of the channel. eing on the American Continent, she could hardly cscapc a visit to New York-perhaps to W aslnngton?and the result ivoulj be in every way gratifying to all concerned. ~ ? Tup. foreign correspondent of the N. Y. Com mercial writes-"The fact is, Napoleon is too clever for John Bull?and if a collision should ever happen between these powers, I very much believe Napoleon's navy and army will prove to bo the most formidable also. You will, in my opinion, find in tiyo years' linio that he' has everything in readiness to send forth upon the sea quite as many guns, if not more, than Eng land; and as for sailors, he can muster more in thirty days than she can in four months." A correspondent of the^Ncw York Erpress. who recently paid a visit to the Bank of En gland, says: "There was one item which I learn ed from the bank, decidedly gratifying to my national pride. Not a single piece of American paper which laid over during the late panic now remains unpaid. This, says Mr. Elsev, the Governor, cannot be said of any other na Hon on the earth." A New lork man has recently patented a saddle tree of which the peculiarity is that it adapts itself to the different sizes and shapes of t different horses on which it is used.

Something New, True, Intelligi ble and Important FOR THE CURE OF THE SICK ! ELECTROPATHY. O D. JONES, M. D. has taken rooms at the Beymer O# House, ami teuders his professional services to the sick and afillcted of Wheeling and vicinity, for a careful diag- ; nosis, and treatment of all diseases of a Ohronic or Nervous ! charcter. He brings to his aid a new application of the i inoat powerful of all agents, E1.ECTRIG?T Y. Dr. J. would here state that he is not Introducing a system based upon uncettainty or doubt, but one at all times reliable and has . been tested by thousands. Ills especial claims are as fol- j lows: First, In determining the condition of the body or an organ by an electric diagnosis, which points out the character and locality of the disease. Second, The specific j action of electricity ou the body. Third, The distinctive influence of the two polarities, the Inward and tbe outward; and lastly. The scientific application of the two polarities to diseased states of the bodv, treating each stale aecord- ? ing to its requirements, and the fixed laws which govern the j action of electricity. Wtien these principles are understood } and strictly carried out, it is bo matter of duubt or guess* . work, and the ability to cure no mystery. The following diseases are especially and permanently ! cured: iS'eurnlgia, Rheumatism, Stiff Joints, Pulmon ary Consumption, Bronchitis, Dyspepsia, Liter Complaints, Paralysis, Catarrh, Asthma, Piles, Ulcers, Tumors, all Skin Diseases, Spinal Curva tures, IVealc and Inflam ed. Eyes, Palpitation of tha Heart, Contracted Muscles. Seminal Weakness, Tmpo teucy, Ague, Typhoid Fcccr, Deafness, j Fits, Dropsy, St. Vitis' Dance, ALL DISEASES INCIDENT TO FEMALES.! Tha above diseases are under the especial control of the electrical agent, and never fails in any reasonable case to effect a permanent cure. All shoclcs and Irregular currents are avoided, which tend to excite and irritate the Nervous system, producing a smooth aud mild sensation to the most delicate nerve. Those suffering from the above diseases and have failed to obtain relief from all other means should not fail to call ? and witness cases pe formed by this most powerful agent, i Difficulties of years stan ling are sometimes removed in a ! single application. Dr. J. wouhl say that from long expe rience, he is enabled to prescribe Homeopathic remedies with great certainty, for the cure of diseases for those who wish a mild and safe medication. He will tlsit the sick at their residences If desired. sept?0-2mu* rpHB FINEST FLAVORED CIGARS in the rjty |* toTT J. found at Washington Hall Drug Store, for euie bv ? _jeptl$ 8. FUNDKNBERQ. ?
