I have endeavored to give an idea of a
coal mine to those of our readers who have
never done themselves the pleasure of a
mat to a coal region. The: engines gen
erally. used 'are of great power. In this
place, there, are two manufactories which
make aud.repair them.
Immediately In the vicinity of Potts
villa ten mines have been opened below
the water - level, and all but two by indi
vidual enterprise. The cost of getting
them ready for working has been about
one hundred and forty Ciouseind dollars.
'There are i - wo more in a. state of forward
ness. Who will; after this, doubt the com
petency of individual enterprise and perse
verancet And I would remark here too
that one half of the individual colliers
whose gedius szir the coal business has
done so much, came here as laborers, or
"miners" as they are termed in the par
lance of Ow coal districts. They had no
capital but honesty and a knowledge of
their business to start dponiai i o all CI rcum
stances copsidered, their success has been
truly astonishing, Oue individual came
here id 1580 with five dollars in his pocket;
and last season .sent down 35,000 tons of
coal to market; more than was sent by the
Little Schuylkill Railroad ilnd Mining
Company! 'another assured me _this eve
ning, that when he came here 'five years
ago he commenced as it'"miner," and last
year sent to market 17:000 tons!' And
these-are the men' our Legislature would
. put down by the incorporation of compa-
Dies, to do what their. individual means,
with no protection -but honest hearts and
willing 'hands, have been found fully able
to accomplish.
But I must stop. This letter has al
ready-rum out too long. It will still take
• another before I will get done with Potts
ville and the Lions of the Coal region. -

A stranger could spend a fortnight a
mong the new
. scenes and clever people
of the coal region here, and think it but a
day. 1 speak of cou'rie of tt sttepger who
would feel an interest in the'great Schuyl
kill coal trade. And he would meet. at
every turn the most convincing proofs of
the superiority of individual over corporate
enterprie. To an observer nothing more
is necesimry to establish the conviction,
that companies with mining privileges will
rettird and wither the coal business, than
to look at Port Clinton, and contrast the
appearance• of the place with Schuylkill
Haven. The former has a
_dull. deserted
look, occasionally viditary eiti load being

There is a frimcpleasiire garden attached

This morning I rode out through part
of the region northwest of this town, and
visited the tunnel being driven by Messrs.

have already Penetrated upwards of four

between a floor apd ioof of slate, and is
-best-illustrated by the description of a
practical collier, who compares it to the
leaves within the cover of a book—a very
compfehensivti and just comparison, to
which 1 would add that it will be long be

Catholic, one Protestant pis opal and one
,Methodist; beihdes three Welsh churches
in which there is regelar service in that
language, and to which Sunday Schools
are attached. 'Thereat-E. also in the neigh
ben hood of Pottsville several more Welsh
ohurches. Welsh parents here have their
children taught theiriown ianguage,in or
der that they , may be better able to con
verse with them, and remark very justly
that they will learn the English fast enough
from their neighbori.
In the coal regioni.within ten miles of
Pottsville there are 4 number of small vil
lages which: have sprung up in the
roughest country from the influence of the
coal trade: a trade which has been unusual
ly dull this season, owing in the first place to
the infamous folly of the General Govern
ment, and next to the sapient -action of the
State Legislature. List year Schuylkill
county senti to market upwards of five
. hundred and twenty thousand tons of coal,
at an expense of upiVards of two million of
dollars. This season she will not exceed
four htindredthousand tons; business
should revive and the manufactories to the
eastward open in vigor again, we may safe
ly
.calculate ;on shipments next season to
the amount of six.lifindred thousand tons.
