This• map represents the form of the
N'ortb American continent 'at the com
mencement of the geologic record, as
nearly as ive can make it out after all aid
din'tvtation that has taken - ,place. Then
tabrader 'form'ed the portion of the
,con
tinent above the se:lo%lth the exception of
the Adirondack 'Nountains; the peaks of
the Alleghanies;,and these others that I
have already described as forming a num
ber of iron and granite islands of the life-
111=3
less 'seas.
_
This evening I purpose to 4esci7ibe the
first rocks that were formed upon granite
and the azoic slate- 7 -the oldest rocks that
cOntainsany.remains danimal on vegeta"-
blelife. These wan reefs, formed in the
shallow waters.. Off the southeast, the_
south, and the southwest shores of what
was then the continent. This reef • ex
tended from—the British possessions in
the northeast, sweeping round- entireTy,
across the State Of Icew,York, *away here
throUgh Wisconsin, and since this map
was msde it has been traced beyond Pike
Winnipeg at the northwest. It now ex
ists as limestone rock, which on being ex
andried is found to be one mass of coral.—
Other Coral reefs surrounded, the is-
I lands. •
The-coral reefs, you .are aware, are
formed by one of the very lowest orders
of animals. Caner discovered that all et'
the animals on the earth are naturally di
`vided into lout:great orders. The highest
are those having.vertebra of backbones,
and are called vertebrated animals. - The
next order in the descending scale is com
posed of those animals which grow to an
outside crust, like the lobster, called erns
theca. Clams and other similar soft ani=
mall form the order of , molusca. The
last and lowest are the starfishes, mere
masses ofjellv.or muscle without any true
bones, getrer4v, radiating from a com
mon:centre, and. therefore called the ra
data. The coral aniunds-"belong to the
order of the radiata.
But we find in the rock of this period i
reniaids of animals belonging- to the next
two orders, theimolusca an the crusta
cea. I will draw upon the blackboard a
figure of one of the fossils that are found
in great numbers in the rocks of this peri
od, and you trill; sec that it belongs to•the
-order of the . erustacea. It resembles
somewhat the horsefout, or king crab,- of
our waters,
Its name paradoxides, a'
trilobite. This is anotliler fos.iil found in
these old roeks,Which you see is a molusc,
1 being but a slight variation frynn:a soft
clam. • It is a singula. Tile other queer
form, radiating, from a centre,
- is a bryo
zoo, belonging to the radiata.
1 These low foram of life were all the in
habitants that the World then had. As
! we proceed in our history, yoit will dis
cover that it , was a very long time' before
the lowest forms,olvertebratedanimals,the
, liSbes, - eveli the lowest forms of - fishes,
made their appearance in the ocean. sea
weeds were the highest forms of vegeta
tion.

thousand feet of' sandstones; limestones
and shales, filling up the bottom of the
seas in those regions now known as Wes

country of the north, Central Missouri
Kentucky and Tennessee,'
•
The soils front these, rocks form the
richest wheat and clover lands of our
country.. They are ineshaustiblC in their
' fertility. Many of the rocks. contain as
high as 14

- The minerals 'properly belonging to
this age are, the native copper -of Lake

and Chanaiere, in Canada, of Franklin, in

quite different from the last age. Each

MONTROSE, PA.,THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1861.
Cameron Reviewed.
Geo. D. Prentice on Emancipation.
.1W publish the following passage from
the Washington despatches, in the Lou
isville, Renteeky,loarnal, of Nov. 22d :
WASIIINGTO:N, Nov, 20. 7 —At-the supper
given Mr Prenticeby Cow Forney,
last night, Secretary Cameron - expressed
the opinion that, as a last resort, we
ought to arni every man who desires to
strike. for human liberty.
Secretary SMith protested that the Ad
ministration' contemplated no such policy.
Slaves eseapihg from the rebels mink.
be received as they had. been -hitherto,
within the lines of the. army, but it was
net intended to arta them. •If twenty
million offreeinen could not single-baud-1
ed, subdue this rebellion, it. would be a I
diigrace to them, and they ought to give
up the contest.
' Rokert J. Walker 'and Senator Mc
Dougalfollowed in the same strain.
[lt will be observedlere that .Secreta-.
ry Smith protests that the Administration
contemplates no such• policy as Secretary
Calderon recommends, and that Secretary
Cameron does not pretend to question
the truth of Secretary Smiths protesta
tion. Secretary Smith, therefore, stands
in this conversation as the representative
of the Administration, while Secretary
Cameronstands as jmerely his own repre
sentative. Iknee, the Administration is
not 'responsible, for the opinion is one
which he holds and expresses on his sepa
rate and individual responsibility, in oppo-
Jution to the Administration of which -he
is a member.] • •
The Editor of the Journal says :
It is his personal opinion, .not his offi
cial one—the -opinion he flourishes as a
frurni not the opinion which guides and
governs 'him as an officer. With 'this con
sideration, if the opinion were, in itself
,Of
only ordinary consequence, we might very
properly he content to dismiss the sub
ject, tbr Secretary Cameron as' a' man ,cafi
not impart partic,ular consequence to any.
thing.. The opinion, howeveri is' not of
ordinary consequence intrinsically. It is
if extraordinary consequence: For this
reason, !Ur. Cameron's Manifest determin
ation to thrust the opinion upon the pub
lic constrains us to notice it further.
We need not say thit, in this difference
between Mr. Cameron and the Adminis- •
tration, we agree heartily With the Ad
ministration. The actual policy of the
Administration, as set firth by Secretary .
Smith, is both right and expedient ; the
policy recommended srby Mr: Cameron is
both wrong and inexpedient. It is wrong
-and inexpedient in-a measure utterly_
Moreover, it is in other respects un
worthy of a virtuous and enlightened na
tion. It is wrong, because it proposes a.
step not merely unconstitutional, but rad
ically and permanently inconsistent with
the ends of the Constitution. It propo-,
ses to annihilate' one .of the great institu
tions ofthe country as a means of preserv
ing the country. In short, it purposes to
preserve the whole by destroying- a part.
The policy, is thus illegitimate and absurd.
If our antagonists Were a ibreig,n 'enemy
the case Might be different, for in that
• event . the end of the conflict would be
simply to master the enemy, but in the
present conflict the end is not only to
master the entity, but to so master him
as to preserve the country in its full, con
stitutional integrity. The chief and real
end of the war is the preservation of the
country ; the - mastering of the enemy is
but a -means to this end., What in a for
eign conflict would be the end is iu the
present. conflict but a mode, of securing
the end. ,- This is a-distinCtionwhich from.,
tire nature of things, must characterize
civil war in all free. governmenis. It is a,
vital distinction. It,- however, is a distinc
lion of which - Mr. Cameron appears 69 be
either ignorant or oblivious. Of course
the waging of a war in such a way as to
destroy 'a constituent part of the country .
for whose total preservation -the war is
carried on would be so far forth to sacri
fice the end to theineaos.. The policy, as
we. have said, is illegitiniate and absurd.
'l , :or 'does it derive-the' smallest comfort
from the fallacy that as slaves are proper
ty they should be set free with as little re
luctance as cattle in a paddock.. Slaves
are property,, but to set - the•shives or the
South free would be not merely to confis
cate so much[ property; but to extinguish
at a blow the institution of slamproperty
in this country. It avoiild not only ' dis-
solve the castings but shatter the moulds.
It would break the die as well :is melt
clown the coin. It would not alone pluck
the fruit; Of the tree, but-cut up by the
roots the tree.itself. In other words, it
would, as we haVe Contended above-, des
troy a constituent part of the:count ry for
.whose,preServation entire the war ispros
ecuted.. The policy, therefore, is wrong,
being illegitimate and absurd.
But it is also expedient., 'lf it were in
itself justifiable it should- not. be adopted,
because it is calculated• not to promote,.
but to even the secondary end of
mastering the enemy. - The adoption of
such a policy by the Administration would
virtually proclaim that - the conflict was
ho longer waged for the purpose of re-es
tablishing the Union, but for . the single
purpose of subdiiing, the enemy, at what
ever cost to the institutions of the country;
.that the:chief end of the conflict was not:
aS.at first to preserve the country, but . to
do the enemy all the injury in our power;
that in fine, the revolting South was
thenceforward to he treated, in, every re
\ spect as a foreign enemy, and not as a do
mestic one. • .
-This at least would, be the construction I
put on the act throughoutfthe.. slavehold
ing States. It, would be taken as convin
ing proof that _ the fanaticism had . ac- '
quired the ascendancy in the• councils of
the Government, and that henceforth - the"
conflict on thepart.of the
.nation would
be prosecuted in the spirit: of:the bloodi
est and most unrelenting of foreign. wars.
Nor would gas construction .be confined
to the South. The necessary tendency of
the act Would be to unite the 'South - and
.diatract, the3N7Ortli in is measure- far: (ix
'ceeding"any possible advantages derlia--
' .ble from the immediateiediate consequince' of
1
'lllepolicyi: !- ; As thernet-cesidt of the : poll.
I - .
cy, the rebellion would be.-strengthened
and the nation weakened indefinitely.—
This result' would be inevitable. iThe
policy therefore, even if right, would be
tutally.mexpedient.• . But we have shown
that...it is fatally wrong.
This, however, is nt?t•alf.- The policy is
inhuman, well as wrong and inexpe
dient. 14 a need,nOt enlarge oh this point.
Disciplined armies fermed out of the
best varieties of the white race are sal-
ciently dispited. to insubordination un
der the maddening-influences .of active
war. What degree of subordination,
could be maintained or expected in an ar
my filmed out of , a _newly-entancipated
rumt so inferior that even its claim to.the
nature of titan is disputed by the learned,
we leave every one to imagine . for • him
, self. It must be plain to all, . however,
that sitelt. a body could be restrained front
murder and outrage only by a body of
regislar soldiers nearly - if not quite equal
in number; but, as the policy in:. question
clearly excludes everything of this de
se4tion, the sable horde would conse
quently run into murder and outrage 'corn
paritively unrestrained. , Nothing else
could follow in the naturt3 of the case.—
The policy, - accordingly, involves a sag
age " cruelty unworthy of a virtuous and
enlightened nation. It violates the rules'
of civilized warfare, and, whatever retali
ation might warrant its against a foreign
enemy, is not to be 'thought of by the
country 'in this strife with her own infat
uated children. The policy, we repeat,. iS
inhuman.as .Well as wrong and mespe-
Aleut.
-
hy does Secretary . Cameron recom
mend a policy which superadds to such
manifest. folly and... barbarity .the open
condemnation of the Administration ?-=
This is a question worthy of a moments
attention. Is.he in his conscience vit.-
suaded that the policy is a proper one?
'file is, he is intellectually disqualified for
,the position he occupies. If he is not, he
is morally disqualified for the position,
.and perhaps intellectually disqualified be
side. In either case—and one or the oth
er must be true—he deserves to be di-'
missed from *the Cabinet, and the Presi
dent would consult his own reputation as
well as the public good, by promptly do
ing justice in the premises.. As to Which
of these two cases is true, opinions will
probably differ. For ourselves, however,
we cannot resist the opinion - that Secre
tary Cameron, having effectually killed
offFremout by the publication of Gen.
Thomas' private report, is now resolutely
bent on winning, at the sacrifice ..of his
own convictions, the .place which Fre
mont held in the favor of the anti-slavery
men. The place of hero to the anti-slavery
men is certainly vacant at this moment,
and if Secretary C.anieron is not bidding
tbr it we know -not who is, •or at what
else'the Secretary can . be Mining: Be
this as it may,. - the.titne has unquestiona
bly arrived whenlir. Cameron should be
compelled to retire from the Cabipet.—
llis remaining in it longer will prove
disgrace 'to the Administration. and a
sore evil to the country. . Let hislead
follOw Fremont's:
Comprdmise
This is a terrible_ word. Nothing is
more dread lid to a certain class of men ,
than the thonOit s ot' compromise: :Pro
tracted civil war and 'litho:oe disunion
are preferable to an amicable agreeinent
involving the ithandOnment of the cher
ished theories . of Government. Let it
take air form: but this:, Spare- 'us' this
last degredation. , - Separation is bad
enough, but continued union purchased
at the price of concession is worse. This
is the way they talkthis the manner in
whieh they show their love kir the Union.
We imagine that the Northern rople
have never been averse to it peaceful set
tlement of our national troubles, and that
if they had been allowed to speaks they
would have accepted the Crittenden
Comproinise; and thus averted the war:
But the obitinate political theorists inter
posed between -the people and cionprcrin-

Seven months of war have
the impossibility - of administering the
Government without compromise. Ne
