Those who ire unacquainted with the sta tistics of our -regiop. , inlay be mated as to the quanti ty, which will prJbaay be shipped, as our article may readily create sit erroneous impression. The amount of Coal aeut to market to July 20th of the three 4.alit year; is WI f d llow e : Scohylkill.

In 1837 during this monat, our weekly ship• ments averaged 17,288 tons, while this year they do not come up to 14,000, and are decreasing. There remains a the. navigation season about 17 weeks, to which 290,000 tons may be shipped, which added to the atimunt already sent to July 20, viz : 02,657 tons, will give 482,657 tons, as the to• tel shipments from this region.

We aro led to these remarks, in order to give a fair statement of the trade as It is, and to shwa , the consumer the necessity of laying in his winter sup ply of Coal, without listening to exaggerated rumours of an overstock. In the present depressed state of the money market} dealers cannot obtain facilities for buying Coal, sae the consequence has been a very reduced shipment in comparison with 183.7, while to meet the naturally increased consumption, instead of Vik!,,.857, our region should send her 600,- 000 tans. The-Lehigh Coal region is placed in precisely the came situation.

IlLisrloch.-9n two evenings, of this week. our citizens have been gratified by hearing this es tunable geutlein in and talented elocutionist in the Budget," which he had prepared as explanatory of the Pavver of his'noble art. The efforts of Mr. Murdoch tict — e — Tind , eisewherea, have been signally successful, in elevating the histrionic .character, and imparting blended amusement and instruction to his auditors. The faculty of speaking well, is as susceptible of acquireinent by well directed .study and practice, as that of writing legibly, and in our country, where the arena of hon3rable competition I is thrown open to every one. and where public meetings often prove the stepping stone to cal advancement:- no time can be ill-expended, or no attention misdirected, that has this accom plishment in view. That Mr. Murdoch is himself a graceful and correct speaker we know, and that he has the faculty of imparting his principles to oth era, ample testimonials assert. Accidental Death.—A person named Kelly, who with his father, Mother, sister and brother, had re-,' cently emigrated from Ireland, and were about to locate in our vicinity, was. accidentally drowned, by falling from ej canal boat near Tyson's locks an Sunday mprning last. 'His body was brought to this place, and interred ifrom the house of his brother-to-law, hill,. Lawrentie Lawlor, attended by an immense croied of his ' eripathising country men.

A VISIT TO T A large-putter - ............... at firusere villa a kw data • for• the &lipase of visiting the Burning Mini, the implies Vein, at the pp. of the Broad • Mann • 'While the plenum s= were preparing, 'we a look about Minersville, *and found many • things to admire besides Mrs. Christ's lemonade. + a • me a great number of buildings in process l i t tf erection, and a steam Saw Mill is nearly comple; by Mr. Laurence of Sun bury. The village pears to have been steadily progressing, since we , last visited it, and holds its own, better than any iof our surrounding towns. The cars were at length equipped, and we started at a fine pace up thelinclined plane. -Diverging to the lett, we visited th/ mining operations of Lebbeus Chapman, Erg. and were just comfortably housed at Mr. Payne's,-his soperintendant, when the owin dews of heaven" we 4 opened, and a young deluge ,poured down. We Isuffered, however, but little, for we found a prof ision of crackers, cheese, and those anti-temperate 'articles 'yclept, brandy and gin, to which we didlample .justice, vith appetites sharpened by the bracing air and exercise. The shower over we unhitched our horses, and retraveiled the road to itv junction, with no assistance, but its descending grade. Here the fort symptoms of our miniature ilesovius were visible, in the clouds of smoke which rolled down the Gap. Leay. ing the cars, we walked up the ravine, to the lower levels of the workinga ; here, although not surround by a flood of lava, wd found the waters issuing from the dciftway to be tOuite warm from the effects of the internal fire, and impregnated so strongly with alkaline substances as to be extremely nauseoust o the taste. We now prepared! to ascend the west brow of the , :,00 Broad Mountain ; t straps were unbuttoned, stocks unbuckled, an coats taken off, and all prepar ations made "for This nonce." Beetling above us for some hundred left, and belching forth smoke and name, arose the tracli. of the vein, which we.ascend ed on the crop. A KO° puffing and blowing brought us to the second level, where the disaster comment , ed .during the extreme cold weather of last winter... 7— A hanging grate plaCed at its mouth to equalize the temperature, commdnicated fire to the couplings of the gangway, and was the primary cause of the vast damage which has since accrued. Some hundred feet farther up the hll, a large space had caved in, i and down the sssurca between the upper and lower rocks, could be seer a yawning fiery gulph, where Vulcan and his Cytlops might revel in, and sala manders only exist. I A stilphurous exhalation issu ed from it, which rendered approximation not quite so greatful as laveluder water, or as cool as iced . punch. About the jaws of this vast cave, were de posits of sulphur, and some alkaline substances, in great quantities. -Large rents and fissures in the ground showed the I extent of the raging internal heat, and many plades appeared ready to fall tn, and precipitate the incautious spectator into the chasm. Down the old air elhafts, the current. of air rushed with a rumbling raf-thquakey: sound, to feed with 1 their oxygen, the volcano beneath. Now and then a crumbling mass of slate, or a detached portion of rock, would leave the bed, where it had been recum bent, since the world began, and with reo.tless force, plunge headlong MO the smoky crater ! The vegetation On the summit and sides of the hill, showed the silithing effects of this munatuml heat : the tall pine llrooped'ita giant arms, the hem lock bowed its heiiit as if parched by arid sufferings, the young oak and bhesnut were clad in a premature "sear • and yellow leaf," and here and there, the mountain vines seen to cling more closely to their parent trees, as if hie the children of Leocoon, they sought aid from Mel fiery breath, and • hissing jaws that spuuer'd flame." all A dreary spot, hit now, that once lovely in untain Gap ! the elemental war has prostra all ' beauty of foliage ; the voiat of industry is h h , the rustic cascadel*ms to lisp less merrily than it was wont, and the once buoyant air is heavy mid oppressive with the murky vstioura, that lour over the fair face of nature ! ! _ When, or in what manner, the ravages will be stopped is a matter of anceltainty, and equally so, is it, whether trtirttan ingenuity can restrain them. n the mean time, the loss of time and material falls heavy on Mr. L. F. Lkmgheriy, the lessee, who has used every poesible means within his power, to check the destluctton. Attempts have been made to smother the flame, but it always breaks out in some new place with increased fury, and baffles its opponents. . 101,195 81,728 97,536 Our curiosity satisfied, we decended the mountain, and betaking ourselves to the cars, ran down past Minersville again.; The West Brandt Road is in excellent order ; the lower part of the iron track has for some time reqUired no repairs of any importance, and the wheels now run over it tut' smoothly as if it were a parlor door, There is no doubt oT the inex pedience of woodeii roads : the iron rails if even they wear out from helm) , business, are worth almost their first value for old inetal, but when the wood becomes rotten and splintety, money must be paid to have it hauled off the tract. After night-fall, we arrived at the hospitable man sion of R. C. Hill, E.g. superintendent of the Road, under whose directions the present delightful yatmt was arranged.- Once more under roof, the evening was spent, in a delightful manner, and for a while, like Burn's Tam O'Bhanter. .We thought na on the long Scotch miles The mosses,' wears, slap and stilos That lie between us and our hame." At length, however, parting time arrived : we bade "good night" and reached our domicils, some to recount the pleasures of the jaunt tn their wives and families, and we, to give this hasty and limping description to out kind friends and readers. A Mr. Charles Headache, and Miss Mary Workman, conhubialized at Philadelphia, upon which a wag perpetrates the following matrimonial epigram : "Nay, smile not. simper Rot, ye fair, For mocking's catching—so beware— In tune take warning. Not the first Workman, she sweet sylph, Who went well pleased to rest poor elf! And with a Headache found herself— In bed next morning. Lad of the 4hiccuu.—At Norwich, Coen, on the 4th July, the remnant of this Indian tribe, loca ted on a reservation, near the town; was represented by the children of their Sabbath School—a little tor lorn band, led their devoted missionary teach er. Emotions of,sadness, says the Connecticut Cour ier, for a moment came over the soul, as we reflect ed on the fallenifortuoes of this once numerous and independent tribe. We stood rejoicing on the soil which their fonalUtterx possessed. They had melted easy, a fated Ism, la, a shadow. How changed —how fallen! 10aas they were powerful, noble s brave— "Amid ttteie hills, with venbirespread, The red brOwed bunter's arrow sped ; And on th Waters, sheen and blue., He freely ! lunched his light canoe, While thrtnigh the forest gleamed like light, The flying ; wild•tieer's antler bright." But their shOut of gladness has ceased; their council fires aril extinguished; their destinies • are sealed ; ' their is crushed. The Hon. A. iF7.

DEMOCRACit AND ARLSIVCRACIN The Democrats of Potterille : Surrounded and opposed by the most Eiolfraful aristocracy ttf the country, their firmness and patriotism under such circumstances, in boldly sturtaiting the cause of the people, entitle them to the admiration and lating gratitude of the democracy of &hay lkilL We read this toast for the first time, one warm afternoon this week, and were immediately imbued with a desire to find out who these " powerful aris tocrats " were. Of course they were the opponents of the " democracy, " and must be the Whigs. So we walked to the front door of our office snneingly, and the first person we saw, was a Coal Merchant, returning from his wharf. His clothes had once been brown drilling, but now they were plentifully begrimed with anthracite—his hands were of the self same hue, and across his face and nose, the hand was visible impressed with a smutch, received probably when wiping the sweat from his brow. " Is this man an aristocrat I " thought we: the an swer was u no—but he is a whig." The next person who passed, we saw turning the corner from Clem ente and Parvin's Steam Mill. Whatever the coig nel color of his clothes had been, he was now one of the most pure white, and floury aristocrats we ev er beheld ! He goes and comes from his daily work, labors hard, has no friends at court, is dependent on ly on himself, and yet he is a whig ! The next that passed, had on a paper cap and leather apron, and over his shoulder was swung a huge sledge ham mer; he vas whistling home after his day's work, and doubtless his brain was teeming with aristocrat ic vice !—be too voted the whig ticket ! Next in order passed a couple of miners—with woolen caps, and lamps struck in them, bearing every outward sign of their occupation, and they too, we were for ced to place incontinently among the aristocrats ! But look! who is that with slow and measured step, coming down the street, wit s a cane in his hand, and a segar in hi, mouth 1 h • pan the steps of the Pennsylvania Hall, u the stages are coming in. He is an acknowledged leader of a par ty, is always electioneering, goes to Harrisburg to save the country, and to Washingt - ei to dictate who shall hold the offices of out county in the gift of the General Goverriment. Does he not belong to those, who advocate the government of a few," or an ar istocracy 1 He is not a wing, he is a democrat." He is not for the democratic rule of dividing and checking power, he is in favor of the Sub-Treasury, wilier places sword and parse both in the hands.. of a few." He belongs to the party who refused to let the sovereign people elect Canal Commissioners he belongs to the party who refused to give Con tractors • privilege of trill by jury—he belongs to the party who are eternally crying out for democ racy," but oppose every democratic measure, which removes any patronage or any appointment from their hands. He belongs to a party who have tick! our county offices as,' heir looms in their families father, son, and son-iifflaW, since the County was erected ! Is he not then an aristocrat ? is he not in heart, in precept, in practice, and by virtue of his party badge, for the government of the few I Does he rotate in office on the democratic plan—does his political life indicate that golden rule which reform, so many troublesome incumbents from office now a days I What a shallow, empty thing in such a parallel between aristocracy, sod demiVrticy as this toast draws! what a catch-trap to gull the unthinking ! and whois the sentiment sent by ? is he a democrat or an aristocrat I Is he one of the people, raised from their ranks to honorable office, or is he depend ent on family connections for hie advancement? How far has the " power of the few " been exempli fied in his promotion, as the representative of the Mishleriburg family 1 Is he a true ~ democrat" as modern terms are used 1 Surely not—he and his party are the aristocrats—none more so than he— who control all the offices, who oil the wheels of ro tation mills, who grade the roads to political prefer ment, and who have ridden to office and power, astride of one,of the most humbug hobbies, that ev er gulled a free and independent people ! . We wish not to be misunderstood in these praiklire marks—we speak merely of the tic life of a pub lic man—it is the people's property, holding him bound to strict accountability, we can ass with 'per fect freedom every tur n of his political dunes, while no One more willingly concedes every private quali ty which can adorn the gentleman, or render esti mable the citizen. Is he then—he, the sentiment giver, a democrat in practice l Truly be 1; as far removed from. the -democracy of Jefferson, iwe are from the democracy of Buchanan or IngersOl!

We are willing to take up the gauntlet, and, enter the lists in the battle; and let it be understood, that the question is, whether the most truly democratic plan is, to give the custody of the Treasury to one irresponsible person, who can retain it by the sword, or whether there is more safety in concerted action, founded on the constitutional system heretofore pur sued, and under which our country rose to its pres ent unexampled prosperity, until it met its first check, from the very persons, who now seek to reg ulate its entire' fiscal concerns, and who although unable or unwilling to keep books for a single de partment of state, desire to regulate the vast and complex machinery of currency, natiunal credit, and commercial exchange. cry Pottsville, Pa. , is so - called on account of pots and kettles being manufactured there so ex onsively.

Lady Flora Hastings. —The London'Sun of the sth July, mentions the death of this unfortunatila dy, a victim to the mortification attendant on recent scandalous attaertions affecting her honor. lEl7w Mr. Van Buren's capacity for appointing his cabinet officers, amounts almost to unerring in- stinct. So says a Loco Foco• exchange : and we agree with him, that his instinct has been unerring in se lecting rogues, plunderers and absquatulators. "The union of the Whigs, for the sake of the Union" 'as given in Mr. Wise's speech, is a re-echo of a sentiment delivered by Mr. Clay, at Fredericks burg Va., in 1834. uTheuniens of the Stater, and union among all Whir : both are essential to the preservation of Liberty." ``Compromise, Concession and Union . )7 The above words constituted a toast recently given by Henry Clay.
