Tie Prprt-A llrmlir fram tbe Readla Dobphdt-ABtfcer Olsacreeiaeiit la Kcssvl klll The templet Tanae fr the Week Ua.tatloss, Et. The end of the shipping Benson Is now near at hand, and yet there is ne prospect of a more accom modating market for those engaged In the trade. The production la still largely iq a-lvanng C( tbe demand, thesjjb tbe former ha icrcft,e j somewhat during thewtVin the regions supplying Phlladel- hla In the Schuylkill region several more collieries ave stopped from want of orders, and In the Stianio kln region daring the week about a round half-dozen liave suspended for the season, while others are running on half time. The trade with Hchuylklll Is consequently falling off somewhat, though It Is slightly increasing with other regions. The retail trade now being done Is good, though the prices brought are toe low to make what tbe dealer Would consider a. good business. In case of a general European war the operators might hAVe hopes of a rushing trade during the winter, but as this Is not generally expected, they are directing their atten tion mostly towards the coming scanon. A circular has been Issued by the President of the Beading Railroad Company, of which the following Is the substance. fy the company's order the coal piled on the wharves at Fort Klchmond at the close of the shipping Season will be then snrveyed. When the rates or tolls are fixed for 1871 the coal then stored will e again surveyed. On all coal found stored by tne second survey which Is in excess or the amount on the wharves at the end of the pre sent season, and on all coal in excess )lkd during the winter, tolls will be charge 1 at the rate to be fixed lor 1871. In the event of the tolls of 18T1 being lower, as they are likely to be, an inducement is oilered by this arrangement to Bhip during the winter. This the operators do not cai) to do to any great extent. Whether they will tave to do so with the Inducement remains to be Teen. The interests of the company for this year "would be aided by such an arrangement, though It Is a question whether the next year's tonnage would be affected. If the market then Is In the same con dition as It is at prosent, a bad effect would un doubtedly be felt by tlie road. The Sc'hnylklll committees from the two parties appointed to fix the November rate of wages have met and have not been able to agree. The average was found to be I'iUT WM0O. The representatives of the worklngmcn then took the ground that the ave rage should be below f 2-25 before that rate could be charged. They held that J2-M) should be paid on all averages above 12 25. The representatives of the ciperators said that either the rate must be Uxed at the rate to which the average Is the nearest, or an advance or decline of one per cent, should be made for every three cents advance or decline in the ave rage price of coal. In accordance with a recom mendation of the President of the Heading road, the operators' committee have recommended that the men be paid at the 'i'2t rate, thongh the com mittee of the W. B. A. did not agree to the arrange ment. Iu.this action the miners are evidently trying to break through their own agreement. No special proviso was agreed upon as to how the rate was to be fixed, but the usage of last year was that It be fixed at the rate to which the average Is nearest, and this method was generally understood to be the only one In use and the one to be used under the new arrangement. The proceedings, If correctly reported. Bhow a very contemptible spirit on the part of the men. The following is the complete summary of the trade for the pnBt week, as reported for the Potts ville Miners' Journal of to-day : Tn MoBTiMTT of nil cttt The namner deaths m the city for the week ending at noon to day was S4, being an Increase of 4 over those Of last week and a decrease of 18 from the cOrTisporid Ing period of last year.

The Forthpotnlnar Prealdentlnl MeasAce. Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. WAsniNOTON, Nov. 28. Notwithstanding the fact that General Butler read his late speech to the Pre. sident and the Secretary ef the Treasury before he delivered it, the friends of the administration say that the President does not approve the sentiments set forth by Butler, especially those about the Ala bama claims and the mission of the Republican party being ended. As regards annexation, the President favors that part of the speech In which Butler refers to San Domingo. The Presldent,wlll set forth the latest phase of the Alabama claims In his message, and wlil show that the renewal of negotiations rests with England.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. Fortress Monroe, Va., Nov. 24. Some time since we noticed a communication in a New York racer In regard to the working of the artillery school at this post, and now deem it our duty to give the readinar public a candid statement of the case. The school, as is well known, was established by General U. S. Clrant when he was General-in-Chief and actlnir Secretarv of ar. It commenced Its operations on the 1st of April, 1S08, Brevet Major-General William F. Barry, Colo nel of the 2d United States Artillery, being assigned to the command. Its object was the Instruction of the lieutenants and enlisted men of the artillery of the United States army in tbe theory and practice or their special arm. The military and academic BtafT of the school consists of three held officers of artillery, five cap tains, a surgeon and assistant, a quartermaster and chaplain, and a lieutenant for each of the offices of ad iutant. ordnance officer, and commissary. Each of the five regiments of artillery In the service has one batterv at the school, and there are four lieu tenants of each battery under Instruction. These officers remain en duty one year and then give place to another set. These twenty lieutenants are annu ally Bent back to their regiments as thoroughly in structed in the practice and theory of artillery and Its cognate branches aa tbe mental capacity of each win admit or. Tha advantages offered by the artillery school to this class of officers are Incalculable. The when an officer comes here on duty he should un derstand that be was sent nere for improvement and govern himself accordingly.

A very respectable and numerous family is tUat of the Mor taras ; but very unhappy Indeed is the mother, who can never forget her beloved Edgar, snatched away thirteen years ago by tne cruel fanaticism or priests. To the prayers of his parent that he should re turn home, where a tender mother was ex pectiug nun. be llrmlv but at tbe same time respectiuiiy re plied, "that be was on the path of truth, aud very nappy in bis state; and no power on earth would be able to remove him from the religious career which he had undertaken, iusnired bv faith, and greatly aided by the care of Pius IX." The unhappy father did not yield at the first trial, and expressed an In tention of appealing to the Italian Government for justice. "Justice can only be expected irom uou," the young man replied; but he evidently appeared rather startled by the threat. The interview did not continue very long in tbo same tone, and it ended in the son's inviting hla father to go aud dine with mm in tne convent. I no eider Juortara, now- ever, declined the oner. I bave related a true story, however strange it may appear; but knowing the immense care aud trouble which the Poutlif and hla dependants bave bestowed upon young Edgar ever since the nrst dajB In which they took him under their guardian shin knowing their zeal in persuadiug him of the trnth of Catholicism, and the rare intelligence of their proselyte it may be easily understood that bis ascetio Beutiments and gratitude towards those whom be recognized aa his supporters had com. Met el v changed bis heart. Finally, on this subject. I shall give you one more incident. Don Flo, at the end of a scholastic- year, gained the first prize. Tills won for the privileged student tbe right of being admitted to kiss the foot of bis Holiness. When the lad was in bis presence Plus IX addressed him very kindly and atlably, aud begged ban to continue in bit successful course ; Cor this be would gratify bla own Daternal affection and interest. His Holiness then, bestowing on young Mortara bis blessing, concluded with these very words : 'Figlio mlo, quanto ml coatil' ('My son. bow mub yon cost me!') Pius IX tana recognized tbe fact that the abduction of young Mortara, which bad put Europe in commotion, bad baken one til the props of bla temporal throne." Timely Words of Warning. The late English papers contain advices from South Africa which snow that all that glitters is not diamonds. An Englishman who has been to the diamond Uelds writes to the London Times: "Fresh vegetables are not to be obtained, and firewood Is very scarce. A liberal allowance of llmejaice Is the only preventive to scurvy. Fat for frying and cooking will be difficult to obtain, as the cattle slaughtered are usually lean. As to the result of worklns much harder than any British convict, under a burning sun, upon the simplest rare, ana surrounded bv all the wans and strays or both black and white society, tne average earnings appear to come up to about 200 per annum Of course, there ib a chance or obtaining a great prize, ana oi wmcn the public always near, but oi those wno nave spent their utmost iartning ana worked nice gaiiey staves for many montns, oareiy subsisting on ine meagre fare, and who quietly retire, scarcely liking to own to tneir iii-iuck. no one ever near. "i ne cost oi passage to tiuroan, journey tnence Phiel. and outfit in Kngland. Durban, Marltzburg, and at the neids, may be estimated as io'iows: "Outfit in Dgiand, xiaiTs. ; steerage passage to Natal, 26; liquors on board, X4; steward, ios. landing at Durban, 10s.; outfit In Durban, about 17 : 14 days in hotels at Natal, at 10s. per day, 7 ; coach to Marltzburg, 15s. ; cost of transport of self and goods from Marltzberg to diggings, including extra goods, 15; food during Journey, 35 days, at ib. od., x't ma. 6u. ; provisions lor sen ana servant, bought at Marltzburg, tbout 20 ; cost or making a cradle at the diggings, 4 making a total of 100 4s. 6d. "This Is an ontside estimate, and should In no case be exceeded, while if the Intended miner gave op providing himself with provisions and native ser vant, trusting to wnat ne couia obtain at tne nig ging?, eschewed all liquors, and was careful to check all unnecessary! expenditure, the cost of arrival at tbe diggings equipped for work could be reduced to 70. If a riile and ammunition were taken, there wonld be a further cost of aooul M, and 1 per barrel duty to pay at Durban." Another correspondent writes: "I have been two months at tbe diamond fields. and fear they will be the ruin of many young men who threw up their appointments to try their luce Doubtless large numbers of diamonds are found, but considering the amount of capital Invested by tbe diggers, the expenses of working, etc. etc., the business does not pay. After careful Inquiry and observation I should say that five men in a hundred make a good thing, five more pay expenses, the re maining ninety make nothing. The work is hard, and must be continuous if any success is to be at tained. I would advise no one who has fixed em ployment to leave it for such an uncertainty. I consider the press very much to blame for the ac counts publlsoed. They tend to mislead. Tbe suc cessful diggers are heard of, the unfortunate not mentioned. I could mention many parties who bave worked two aud three months without finding a single stone." N E W A M EKICAN MUSEUM AND MENAOKRIE. Northwest corner cf NINTH and ARCH Streets.
