of our friends as have bindery work to perform, the
necessity of sending fo , in without delay. If business
of the kind is not brisker, we shall be compelled to
close our bindery, which we shall tlo with much re
luctance, as it will thiow a worthy man out tif em

trusted to him, whether blank or fancy work, will be
well executed.

will doubtless, be handled With ability, on Tuesday
evening next, by Sudital Lewis .Esv. The hour of
begining is S o'clock; and we hope to see a lull at-

Asher Moore of Philadelphia, Jas. S. Palmer and

Is fortunate in catchigg most exact likenesses of seve

Volunteer Bettalion.—W4ile the superaddcd ex
perience of the last week; i the anniversary of ourstate
militia trainings, has continued and indeed strength
ened our opinion of the utter folly of the present
system; we are pleased to see antra cotnmendable
esprit de carps exists among our ,vcilunteer compa
nies. A new battalion was on Saturday lust formed
by the union of the following companies detached
from the 30th Regiment:—Copt. Baird's National
Light infantry, Capt. Wynkoop's Virst, Troop
Schuylkill Co. Cavalry,• and Capt. Dordinger%
Washington Yeagera from the BoroUgh of Pottsvill,,
Capt. Bickle'sNational Greys of Ormigeburg, rynd
Capt. Dengler's Schuylkill Haven Greys. At the
election, Thonias J. Baird was chosen Lieut. Colo
nel. ant 'Cliarlea"Dengler, Major. '
We hope•norr CO tee some drilling worthy of our
citizen soldiery, .and we advise our young men to
join one or the other of these companies -forth
with. The expense of equipment is trilling, and not
to be considered in comparison with the mortitisation
of ha - ving to make 4 buiroon of yoursed -with • hun
dreds of others, and passing a;ilay of toil without any
single advantage gained.

Coal Companies.
Since our last remarks on the subject of the con
troversy, carried on between ..X" d "Ronestas" on
the subject of Coal COmpanies the following state
ment has . been published by the former, which bears
us out in our oft, repeated assertion that his: figures
estimateswere too few, since the President. of
the 'Lehigh Co. bas placed the price of their'coaftle
livered into N. York at $5 97: 64:Iontstas," , in re
ply has asserted, that the first two items, viz : the
coal delivered 'at Manch • Chunk, at $2 35, and toll
on the Lehigh, Canal at 57i includes a profit. We
will acknowledge that $2 15 probably pays venial
on the coal mined; ) butt all the other items area:dun!
svenies" Paid by the Company, `and toll allowed at
571 cts for 'all passed on the'canal,:#illnet pay more
than 2 pet'ceut. on the cost of that improvement, to
say nothing of repairs; and other necessary outlays.
But it is'well known, that last settion,tilerge Tian,
tity of their coal was sold nt Bristol for $4 50 on six
months credit; allotting then for all the contingencies
of busincs, bad dehts discount, &c., the average must
have been even teal than that price, which is 22 cents
belOw the estimated cost by the President himself,
and which will bring the pride of coal delivered itt
boats at Mauch Chuni to $2 per ton, which, it actu
ally costs the Company, without any allowance for
rent. This - less will `plainly show where the two.
millions dollop hair() gone;to which we have referred
in a preceeding' article en this subject.
But to the estimate of President Watson, we have
to add the additional expences unavoidably attending
a coal yard in New York. First comes the item of
freight from Bristol to that city at $1 2p. per ton,
which brings the cost of delivery- there $5 r. We
then have the following additional items: of outlay,
furnished. us by one of the largest New York dealers,
and who, from a long experience in the business,
must be able to take advantage of every chance for
economizing.
Carting info yard, average per ton, '2O eta
Piling, 12i
Breaking, ) 40
Carting out, C 50
Weighing, \ 61
Rent, advertizing, clerlthire, had
debts, wear and tear of tools,
plank in yard, insurance, &c.
Coal delivered in N. Y.
Thil calculation is made for red ash coal ; in white
ash the waiteage is riot so great, and is'more than
made up by the difference between the short and long
ton, at the former of which coal is sold in N. Y.iWe
therefore will place the unavoidable expences on Le
high white ash at $1 50, ur.added to the $5 07, the
whole cost will be $7, 47 pet ton. Now their sell
ing price is
. $6 50, which shows as - near as figures
Cum estimate, a loss of al•out ono dollar on every ton
sold. We have repeatedly made this assertion be
fore, 'and now show its truth by the plainest And
most trtuniphant calculations.
One more question: if, aswe are 'willing to admit,
the sum of $2 35 per ton at Mauch Chunk produces
a rental on their coal mined, of, say 33k cents per ton,
and they have shipped in round numbers, since 1820,
2.000,000 tons; there must have been i fund of
$666,6E6, accumulated to sink loans, &c. Have we
ever hearoof such a fund—has this rental been so
appropo4o, or have the loans been annually in
creasing? Are we not rather to add this sum to the
two millions surplus capital and loans above the cost
of thOir improsements, and• show a sum near three
millions sunk in their efforts to sustain their monoply
by selling coal below 'cost •
We can see no justification for the attempt to de
ceive the public by placing the pike of•coal at $4 46
delivered in New York. ullonestas" in making the
assertion knew that it was not true, and it was in
tended only as another gull trap to catch the unwa
ry in their speculating fangs. All their endeavors
are directed to this end, hence their hnivillingness to
make Tair statements, oh the ground that it would be
showing community their private business, when it is
well knoWn that the general items of coal Operations
are known to all who have been any length of time
engaged in the bustness :
A-CARD—TO THE PUBLIC. •
‘As iMonestas" continues to ASSERT that it costs
the Lehigh Company oni,r $4 46 per ton for coal
deliviied in New York.
