The Tobaceo - Crop Again.
.Edi Cora of Father Abraham: In looking
over the Columbia SPY. I noticed an article
on Tobacco. In making his statement the
writer says thero are fifteen thousand cases
of tobacco in Lancaster county, which is
not correct.
, In making up his article be has taken the
number of acres raised in the county, but
evidently forgetting that it was only a half
crop in general, short on account of drought
and also seriously damaged by early frosts.
Instead of fifteen thousand cases, there are
only about fivo thousand. Had the crop
been an extra one, the article would be very
nearly correct, bul instead of being extra,
or good, there was only about one fourth,
or, at most, one-third of crop.
We clip the above from _Father Abra
ham of last Saturday. The author of this
correspondence is either a tobacco dealer,
or is writing in the interests of tobacco
merchants. It is not generally known,
though it is very strongly suspected in in
telligent circles that "Susquehanna" as
well ns the correspondent of the Lancaster
Express, both pro and con, are one and the
same person, and that his object is to ren
der the market so unstable as finally to
reap a rich harvest. Large tobacco dealers
from New York in a recent effort to buy the
crop from our farmers here, have expressed
themselves as satisfied that it is utterly. ina
po,.sible to induce them to sell, and that
they must go west for bargains. The result
will be that our farmers will wait till the
eastern markets are pretty troll supplied,
and then be compelled to sell at a loss. Our
information as to the value and abundance
of the crop is derived from reliable source,
and our estimate of the influence the sale
would have upon the money question is not
too high. Nearly one million of dollars
will be thrown in the Money market by a
prompt sale. This in time will relieve a
community of business men, and the means
of putting millions of dollars in circulation.
As the rates are as high as last year, pro
portionate with the price of gold, we advice
prompt sales, not only for the farmer's sake
but for the general financial interest of the
country. •

TII.RE is no class of men to whom life

most need of the blessings secured by in

but because they are seldom able to make
any provision for their old age, or for their
children in any other way. Their be t

EDITOR Sri :—Having read with ihterest
and hearty approval, your articles advoca
ting the establishment of Public Reading
Room,and being impressed with the advan
tages, which such an institution will confer
upon the public, and especially upon our
young men.' I have the pleasure of tender..
ing through your columns to the citizens o
Columbia, the use of the Hall ou Second
street,at present occupied by the Good Tom
piers, free of rent. In the event of is be
ing accepted for such purpose, I recon_-
mend that.a board of responsible persons:be
chosen, to whom the management of the in
stitutionbe entrusted, and that such other
measures be adopted as will render it a
permanent blessing to the Borough.
Very Respectfully,
SUSQUEHANNA
—At last the citizens of Columbia have it
within their reach to establish a first class
public rending room. Ever since our advo
cacy of this project, we feared the difficulty
of securing large, commodious and suitable
rooms, would eventually cause the object
of our hopes to be abandoned. But here is
the generous offers of a citizen, made with
out solicitation, and upon such conditions,
that all we have to do, is to accept. The
room offered by Mr. Detwiler is large, well
adapted for the purpose, only a few steps
from the central business portions of the
Borough, and convenient of access. To tit
it up will require but a small outlay. Will
the good people of Columbia accept the offer?
Let us lead off in this enterprise. Other
towns have their Christian Association
Rooms. We can certainly furnish and man
tali' an open reading room, when it is offer—
ed to us free of rent. Will Columbia be be
hind sister towns in her philanthropy?
Lan'caster has a circulating Library. Co
lumbia has already a store of literary wealth
in the Shoch Library, and if we promptly
accept the above offer and open the reading
room. Columbia will not only eval, but
far excel Lancaster in enterprise and in gen
erous public spirit.
To maintain the institution it will require
sufficient funds to purchase fuel and light,
and provide attendance. This will be tri
fling is comparison with the good, which
will necessarily flow from it. We are ready
to do our part. We will endeavor io secure
exchanges :from all the leading journals in
the country, without regard to their politi
cal sentiment. The borough clergymen can
and no doubt will, do much to aid it; suffi
cient funds can be raised by voluntary con
tribution to secure an occasional invoice of
new books, magazines, monthlies, dlo. Files
of our local papers can be preserved, as a
matter of reference. Religious journals
without regard to sect, can be contributed,
and many other items added, which we
can not ennu merino now.
To the work now. Let a meeting he call
ed, an organization be efreeted, and the ini
tiatory measures fully considered. Rules
and regulations must be adopted, and pro
vision made for a permanent organization,
and a permanent institution, Lot 1:3 act
promptly. Due notice of public meeting will
be given. In the meanwhile, let all good
citizens, and especially the clergymen in
cite an interest for the institution-one which
will supply a want, pretty generally felt.
STEA3IING ACROSS Txtr. CONTINENT.—It
is gratifying to announce that at last we
arc to have a public lecture. As will be
seen by public announcement, Mr. J. J.
Sprenger will deliver his lecture, " Steam •
ing across the Continent," in Odd Fellows'
Hall on next Thursday evening. This lec
ture as is pretty generally known, was de
livered before the members of the Linntean
Society in Lancaster. some time since. The
Lancaster dailies speak of it in the highest
terms both as to the lecture and the lecturer.
The subject is one of general interest. The
great West is to-day the centre of the Union
Mr. Sprenger happily expresses the grand
eur and beautyr of that country. A sunset on
the plains is a scene of grandeur, equalled
only by a sunset at sea. The georgeous
scenes along the range of the Rocky moun
tains, the snow-capped peaks, sparkling in
the sun like rubles and diamonds, the dark
bold bluffs, like frowning battlements, the
boundless prairies, dark ravines, rushing
streams and the solemn grandeur of west
ern immensity are made to pass in pano
ramic view before you, in the living words
of the lecturer. Recently some of the prom
inent citizens of Lancaster presented the
following testimonial to Mr. S.:
La:rcAsTim, Pa., Feb. 12, IS7O.
The undersigned having bad the pleasure
of hearing the lecture, entitled " Steaming
across the Continent," on Tuesday evening,
Jan. 25th, 1870, take great pleasure in rec
ommending both the lecturer and the sub
ject to the favorable notice of the people;
the former as being worthy of countenance
and support, and the latter as highly in
structive and entertaining to all who feel
interested in the welfare and progress of
our common country

The proceeds of the lecture aro to be de
voted to the purchase of a cabinet organ for
the }Bohan Quartette. The mere mention
of this fact alone should bo sufficient cause
for insuring a crowded house. The citizens
of Columbia and especially some of the
churches, aro under many obligations to
this band of singers for their services both
on public and private occasions. When
ever any benevolent cause asked their aid
to make an entertainment attractive, they
cheerfully gave their time and talents. The
Lancaster Ecpras•s of recent date said: "Our
neighbors of Columbia should foster this
band of really tine performers." We know
our duty in this respect, and let us show
our appreciation of the Quartette and their
rare services, by giving the lecture a full
house.

Our Prospects ter the Future. •
During the past week the anthracite coal
trade in the Schuylkill region has decreas
ed, while in almost all the other regions
the supply has been increased over that of
last year. The Reading road brought down
of all kinds for the week 34,90:- tons, against
45.870 tons the previous week, and for the
fiscal year 503,845 tons, against 438,500 tons
to corresponding date last year—an increa
se of 05,249 tons. The total product of coal
from all the regions for the week, so far as
we have the reports of the carrying comp
anies, shows a decrease of 52,957 tons—and
for the coal year, showing an increase of
180,248 tons. The trade is still unsettled,
no definite basis having been adjusted by
which to fix. prices at the mines, and it will ,
remain unsettled until the operators
in the prices of coal at the mines. The ap
prehensions of a strike among the miners
on the Ist of March, on the eight hour law,
still continue. Some of the operators who
are unable to furnish coal at a low figure
at the mines, are in favor of a strike, which
will at once bring into demand all the
surplus coal, and open the spring trade at
advanced prices ; while other operators,
whose mines aro run at a cheaper figure,
glory at the present prices, and are able to
undersell their competitors.—The indica
tions all round point to low prices and small
profits the current year, in all departments
of the anthracite coal trade. The lowest
point in the basis for wages in the Schuyl
kill region 1- st year was $3 per ton for coal
at Port Carbon and Schuylkill Raven- No
matter what the market price of coal might
be, that is the lowest point at which the
miners would consent to adjust wages.
This figure still stands the same thus far
this year, though it is well known, from
movements made and making in the-Le
high and Wyoming regions, that it mast
be reduced, or Schuylkill coal will be shut
out of the market. ' •
The Pottsville Standard says that diiiing
a brief conversation with Mr. Gowen, Pres
ident of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road, a few days ago, we learned that the
Company have determined upon and are
making arrangements to sink a coal shaft,
between here and St. Clair, on what is
known as the North America tract, in order
to reach the great coal basin which is gen
erally understood to underlie all this re
gion below the water level. It is the inten
tion or the company to make the search for
this undeveloped basin a most thorough
one. They will probably sink the shaft to
a depth of one thousand feet, and spend two
or three years in the work. The machieery,
&c., necessary for carrying on the work
will all be made in Pottsville.
Demonstration by our Colored-Cit-
IMMO
A large and enthusiastic meeting of our
colored citizens was held on Wednerday
evening in the Colored Masonic Hall, to
make arrangements for the celebration of
the ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, so soon as officially announced.
William Baker was called to the chair.
Geo. Smeeney, Geo. Dickey, David Newton
Joseph Smith and Gabriel Shadd were ap
pointed Vice Presidents, Sylvester Burrell, -
and John Stotts appointed Secretaries.
Resotutions wt-re adopted and other meas
ures acted upon to make the demonstration
a success. A resolution, acknowledging
the gratitude of the colored men to the great
republican party, and their loyalty to its
principles was adopted without a dissent
ing voice.
Speeches were made by William Clegget
Esq., Gabriel Shadd, Rev. Mr. Harris,
Wesley Cooper, Thomas W. Hilton, James
- Mallen, Alexander Hall and Zechariah
Snivoly. The colored people are awake to
the important measures of the day, and they
aro harmoniously co-operating to make
themselves worthy of the new franchises
which the American people have so liber
ally bestowed upon them.
The arrangements for the public demon
stration have not been completed, Messrs
Z. &lively, Joseph Colo, and Wm. Rocka
way have been appointed marshalls, and
an adjourned meeting will be held on next
Wednesday - evening, to provide .f4r ebe
coming event.
These people heretofore in ignorance and
bondage aro helping themselves, and as
they become more and more intelligent
they will learn how to appreciate their new
position in the history of the nation, and
will know too how to guard their now
franchises, and their elevation to freedom
and manhood.
Tiff: CANeEtr.ATios or REVENUE
STAIIPS.—The Internal Itevntfe Bureau
has directed that after May Ist, IS7O, all ad

uments, writin;s and papers, mentioned in
Schedule B. of the Internal Revenue Laws,
shall be cancelled by the person affixing
either by writing upon each and every
stamp, in ink, the initials of his name, and
the date, year month and day upon which
the same is attached or used, or by cutting
or cancelling the same by a certain ma
chine approved by the Commissioner. The
regulation has been made on account of the
extensive frauds alleged to have been com
mitted by washing, restoring end using,
the internal adhesive revenue eta [zap*

sioner orders that after May Ist 1870, no ,
other method of cancellation than that first

CoLt;:tiinA„ Fell. 17, 1870
Mn. EDITOR :—For a sample of a model
beggar, commend to us the editor of the
Columbia Herald. A short time since he
was asked to aid in raising funds to buy a
Sunday suit of clothes for Rev. Frisby S.
Cooper, pastor of the Colurcd Methodist
church in our borough. The request, the
editor says, Mr. Cooper himself made. Any
one who knows Mr. Cooper will beau• wit
ness to the declaration that ho is a gentle
man in every sense of the word. How did
this editor, this man (?), who prates so
Joudlyt-about elevating and improving hu
manity, treat the minister's request ? He
„beard him, no doubt, gladly, remembering
titat before another year had passed, ho
would possibly be begging the gentleman
to honor him with his company to the polls
He promised his assistance. What has it
amounted to? To insult of the vilest kind.
Hating the black man, as only the narrow
I. minded can hate, no sooner has he turned
away from Mr. Cooper, than he meditates
how he can best insult him. Barely men
tions him and his wants, the people whom
be serves, and in whom, as a minister' of
Christ, he is expected to feel and manifest a
deep interest, are held up as objects of rid
icule and reproach.
According to this wholesale vilifier,
they are a pack of thieves, against whom
should be every man's hand, but every one
of whom should be taught to work. A most
excellent method of reform Tell a man
you don't, and never will trust him, and
then instruct him to lead an honest and in
dustrious We! Knock him down and
threaten him with death Him dares to rise,
and then revile him for not making the ef
fort !
Carried away by the force of his hatred
for the black man, he manifests his malev
olent disposition towards all men, by de
claring that for mental, moral and relig
ious culture. the darkics' chances are about
as good as that (?) of the while trash of oar
borough. The white children who attend
our schools are "trash." PLO parents must
therefore be " trash."
This is not the first wholesale insult which
has been made to the people of Columbia
in the columns of the Herald. It would be
well then for it's editor to exercise a little
more discretion in the future. If he will
not respect himself, let him respect those
who contribute to his support.

their solicitations. These young men are
doing their part to provide themselves with
profitable entertainment, and thereby save
themselves from the destruction of body,
