ASD LIE PUILaIiELNITA LCD GIER AGAIN.—We stated, :rat week, that our limits weal no; permit us to re ly in full to an article urJaieh had appeared in , t . ,Philadelphia Ledger, re ' IWO to the supply of itittthracite coal ; and intima. ted,ltkat a reply to•the s.4me might be expected at the*liest opportunity. t•We now hasten to redeem ourpleilge. 1 The Ledge: ssys,that th ' a Minors' Journal is con dudted ~ by a coal mine4who has always advocated high prices and high tartly on coal, and who has neier failed every year to cry out short crop," To show how utterly clestituip of truth this charge of raising a cry of ~ short croup " is, we need only refer our readers to the Journatof May Bth, in which we distinctly stated. that a ftdl supply of coal might be be 'expected from this region, provided remunerating prices were obtained in the early part of the season. Has not this statement b'een verified by subsequent events I Agairc r in the .ournal of July l'k , v , i'e gave 1f05,000 tons as-the probable supply of A thriicit c , 14l for the year 1841, 4hich, when compari4 ith l • thir supply of 1810, (8E4411 tons) leaves an excess irefavor of 1841 of 32586 tons—in the supply of both years it will be seer that we only allude tb thA quantity of coal that lips been or will be mine without reference to the amount remaining over from former years. Furtherrnore, we said this excess might be increased to 4.586 tons, if there was a wiry brisk demand for Coal for the balance of the season. Dues this look ,like raising, a cry of short trop ? i ,We own to the soft inpeachmenf-of being a coal miner, and believe thfi our position enables us to give the most correct infOnaation relative to the coal trade; but, at the same :iime, we plead not guilty to the charge of publishing statements solely with a view of benefiting our placuniary interests. We have advocated high tariff onoal because past experience _ snows us, in the history of American manufactures, u ic that where a protective duty has been imposed on articles of a domestic ; nufacture, tt has been high ly beneficial to both ther manufacturer and the con sinner. high prices fu coal would ultimately prove ii)jurious to the trade:llnd ouch has ever been our Opinion. We have al+ys contended ; fur (air, mod erato remunerating prid es; but, unfortunately, such prices have not been i+btaincd during the last two 'ma'am!, which may account for the. great prostra tima of the coal trade iluring the. years 1839 and 1840. Toe Ledger givce tlie l 'i consumption of 1841-'92 t - 7 . 80,414 tons. The iniorrectness of this statement iv manifest when we st a te that the Ledger only ac counts fir ten months' consumption of coal in this Le ant 0 year. Th ie Ledger et.. le Re: g . he ready for transportation of coal late in November next. Here, again, th 4 Lodger is in error. Justice to the public, and mor especially to those interested in tho Coal Trade, colipele us to say, that no Coal can be transported from this region to Philadelphia, ,i, by the way of the 4 ',Rea ing Railroad,'tluring the en ening winter. Even hen the road' is brought to Pottsville, the work is b, no means finished. Months Will be consumed in pr paring and laying the lateral railways, in order to connect the mines with the Main road. The West Branch, it is true, is ready {o connect with the main road, but it will not be 'kept open fur the tran s portation of Cual during the coming winter. Tu to sure, if the price of coal 'should advance fifty oi a hundred per cent, our col liers Mght be inducedi to haUl their coal, in carts, from the mouth of thew drifts to the main road, but the pciasibility of suehlan event taking place may be deemed somewhat, problematical. ' Not content with ippblishing the most impudent :falsehooda•respecting the Anthracite coal trade, the Ledger attacks us perionaily, with equal ferocity and :I;laguardism. Our amiable cotemporary, however, is nut very fortunate ib the selection of his epithets, : end we advise him tre!draw upon his own resources —filthy as they may `be--without borrowing such expressions as ~ gal vanized squash," ~ moral skunk," "St.c. from his kindred Wnd polluted spirit of the N.

We have hithertoiimoken of the Ledger with re spect, although wo did not admire its course in refer erica to the diticalsquestion3 of ,the day ; and thy editors and pr rietorsi of that Journal must admit, in their cooler me ents,that if we have administered to them llittleivholeifome castigation, we had ample and sufficient cause.; We neither attack Journals nor individuals without just provocation ; and it' is •but natural to expect ghat the war will be carried in to Africa when our oivn reputation or tl.o reputation of our paper has' beeW ruthlessly and maliciously as- sailed. The proprietor of the Ledger disclaims all person al acquaintance with us. Set a beggar on horse back," &c. When i[vve knew the proprietors of the Ledger, they were poor, but honest journeymen prin. [ Aare ; frequently out of employment, and anxious to 'obtain a night's sr+ing ' on a morning paper, in order to keep body and soul, together. It was their misfortune, not their [fault, if at the time we speak of, they put one in minil of Jack Falstatrs ragged regi ment; for we hold with the eccentric Carlysle,,that it is one of the mostlpitiable sights on earth to see a man able and; willing to work and yet half starved for the want of employment. We del not urge as a reproach against the proprietors of the Ledger their former poverty and bumble condition in life ; for a patched [ and seedy Ott freqdently covers an honest and manly heart, and the occupant of a thin pair of breeches May posseas the finest principles; but we hold 'in abject scor those little and contemptible minds whose golf) consequete is derived from their in wealth, and who in a[moen of prosperity forget the dunghill from whichtthey sprung. ' The Ledger need[ not be tea that we neither re sort Co villification rid: slander. But when we see a public journalist aspiling iiiery thing that is great or good in our institutions --f displaying the fiercest opposition to American interests—sapping the very foundations a our social syStem by his radical and levelling ii[ictrineslattempting to reduce the condi tion of the laboring ciss.es df this country to a par with the operatives and workingmen of Europo— promulging the wil4cst andi Most absurd theories— constantly asseverating hie n4utrality in politics, with the most ,uribiushink[yfirontery, and yet attacking the great democratic [party of the United States, with a zeal only equallediby its [virulence—and 'lending his countenance to th swindling schemes of swindling speculators, whether stock,; or in coal, we confess we can conceal our indignatian with but an ill grace. With a tlac [ reasing sn'iscripti[on list, and the prospect dlik speed; dissolutklen, the Ledger may be pardoned for any ebullition of temper which they now display.

When she returned, she went to the cradle 'to look after her infant; and, to her astonishment, She found that her child was quite dead. The body was warm, and about the head she discovered several marks and bruises.. Accused her husband of having committed the deed, which he denied. He afterviiarda loaded a double barrel pistol, and swore that he ,would shoot her in case she ex• prised him. Dr. Halberstadt examined the child and stated that its death was caused by violence. The coroner's jury brought in a verdict that the child di. ed from blows received at the hands of its father. The accused was arrested and is now in jail. Moy er is said to be a man of very intemperate habits, and not long sincoa child of his died in a very sudden manner, and it is iihought the little unfortunate was destroyed by its, unnatural father.

'THE MINERS' JOURNAL. filrerLy or Coax..--The Philadelphia Ledger, we regret to observe, still continues it* reprehensible course of endeavoring to create an impression that there will be an overstock of Coal in_ market. By this course, the Ledger cannot benefit the consumer, and if presisted in, immense mischief may ensue. The Ledger misquotes the Journal, es • usual, and would lead the public to suppose that only ten months demand of the present year requires to be supplied with coal. The consumption of anthracite coal last year, watt 965,414 tons, which were coo sumedliem the period commencing March 31st, 1840 to April Ist 1841—twelve months—and although the navigation was obstructed about two months this season, it can make no difference in the demand for the current year. ending April Ist, 1842, although it makes a material difference in the facilities for pro curing a supply, It should be born in mind that the coal season closes on the Ist of „April of every year. All our calculations and annual tables relative to the supply and consumption of coal• is taken from that period. In order to remove any erroneous impressions, we repeat the following table, showing the probable sup ply of coal , this year compared with the supply and consumption of last year. 1841. 1840. Schuylkill, 525,000 452,291 Lehigh, 150,000 225,288 Lackawana, 175,000 148,470 Pinegrove, 3R,000 23,860 Shamokin, 25000 15,505 Remaining April 1, from for mer years, 955,000 1,015,414 DetWet quantity over April 1, 50,000 Consumption for 1840—'41, Although it is probable we shall mine a greater quantity of coal in this region than was ever mined before, it will require the united energies. of all the anthracite coal regions to produce a bare supply. It is idle, it is worse than idle, to suppose that there will be a great abundance of coal in the Atlantic markets during the coming winter. None but heart less speculator&could circulate such a report. There is not the slightest probability or the least founda tion In supposing that the market will be overstocked, and the consumer should be aware of this fact ,in time.

This is too true; and it has always been a matter of astonishment to us why the society of the young and single should be preferred to that of the married woman.

We will not call it a Whig measure, though keen, y-two of the twentyssix votes in its fa vor were giviT by the Whigs, whilst they gave only four votes against it. We would rather regard it as a measure of humanity and enlightened legislation, for which we are indebted to the progress of liberal principles, and the gradual emancipation of the world from black-letter prejudices, than as owing to any purpose or influence connected with party. That the bill will.pass the House of Representatives we cannot venture to-predict. All that we can say is, that it goes before that body under auspices fa vorable to its passage. That a Fiscst.

Differences of o pinion as In the details of the measure must and will give way before the,popularity of the principle : of which whatever doubt may have existed when Congress met must be dissipated by the very strong and unequivocal expressicns of public sentiment from every quarter in favor of the measure. If the fate of other pending measures were as certain in our belief as that of the Bank question, we should feel that Congress will at this session have accomplished more for the good of the coun try than the most sanguine among the Whigs could have expected when they came together.

The Sub-Treasury Reveal bill, has already passed the Senate—also, including the repeal of the Depos ite Act of 1836 : The Bankrupt bill: and The bill to revive and extend the Charters of the Banks of the District of Columbia. With the same spirit, energy, union, and.deter mination to satisfy the just expectations of the public, which have so honorably marked the conduct of the majority in the house for the last two weeks, we do not see why these latter measures may not be all perfected in two more weeks, and the session brought to a close, having fulfilled the wishes at the people, and performed the high and important du. ties which devolved upon it, under the proclamation of the late, and the message of the present Presi dent of the United States. One difficulty may arise in the Senate. The opposition there, at the com mencement of session, determined to talk against time. They are continuing and will continue this game and if reference is made to their factious course, and Intimations thrown out that the public business ought to despatched, and the will of the majority to role,• they immediately exclaim that they are to be gagged and that they ‘` will resist unto the death." We trust, however, that the public business mill be despatched, maugre all these out. cries and thieats, and that nothing will:prevent the Senate from following the lead so nobly set by the House of representatives.

Taylor, who, after retiring a short time re ported the following proceedings which were read and' unanimously adopted: WHEREAS the recent glorious triumph achieved by the tiue Democracy of this Commonwealth over the partizans of Martin Van Buren, warrants us in the confident expectation and belief that another vic tory awaits us in October next, which will result in the complete purification of the Keystone State from the taint of locofocoism by the election of John Banks to the office of Chief Magistrate of this Com monwealth; and whereas the entire political regener ation of this State depends upon the sovereign will of the sovereign people thereof, whose measures in respect to the whole Union, generally, cannot other wise be fully accomplished'; and whereas our reas ons fur this-regeneration are numerous and powerful, being such as address themselves peculiarly to the understanding of freemen, determined to protect their rights and liberties, and to trlnsmit them unimpaired to posterity, as well as to guard the Constitution and Laws from open violation on the part of public servants in the spirit of true Democracy—and where as the time has now arrived when it becomes neces sary to prepare for the approaching contest, to shake off the slumber of apathy, and faithfully to discharge our duty to ourselves and our fellow citizens. There fore, Resolved, That the present Governor of this Com monwealth is unworthy of the support of any true Democrat. Because he has violated the spirit of the Constitu tion of this Commonwealth in many instances, and most flagrantly in the abuse of the pardoning power, whereby the worst species of crimes have been par , (loaned, and the tenants of our Penitentiaries turned loose upon society at the solicitations of political par tizans for party purposes, thereby corrupting the ad ministration of justice, endangering the personal se curity of both sexes, and establiehing a most alarming precedent, calculated to render the prerigative of mer cy a shield to the vicious instead of an encourage ment to the virtuous. Because he has exercised the veto power to or ex tent never:contemplated by the Constitution, and has used it not to guard that Constitution from infringe ment, but to thwart the popular will as expressed by the representatives of the people. Because be has pardoned persona indicted for mis demeanors before trial or conviction, thereby prevent ing a public investigation of such misdemeanors, a power hitherto unexercised by the Executive and un known to the people of this Commonwealth, tending to the protection of partizan culprits, but insulting to the majesty of the sovereign people, i . 1 Because he cited the old instead Of the new Con stitution to legalize his own-eendne in supporting an uncdnstitutional Act, thereby clefill showing that he is unfit to fill the Executive Chair whether the act prodeeded from ignorance or design. Bees se he pays his partizans by plundering the Treasu —witness his warrant for $ 2000 in favor of 0. F. Johnson and J. M. Porter, and the recent ille gal warrant in favor of the Deputy Prosecuting At torney l of Schuylkill County. • Bece4ise he has increased the State debt to an enormoltis extent without giving any adequate advan tage to the Commonwealth in return—has squan dered millions wi•hout bringing one mile of Canal into use and devoted the money of the People to re ward political favorites. Because his Canal Commursioneis have introduced a system of favoritism, under his sanction, in the al lotment of contracts to political partizans, by which the State has been defrauded out:of nearly a half a million of dollars. Because he is a traitor to demodratic principles by refusing his assent to the bill giving the election of the Canal Commissioners to the people, to whom all power belongs, thereby disregarding one of the ton• dementsl principles of democracy. Because he has sunk the dignity of the Executive character by urging his particular ! friends to vote for the Relief Bill," after he had vetoed it, thereby as: Burning the duplicity and chicanery of the low poli- tician. • Because he is opposed to a Protective Tariff and the distribution of the proceeds of the public do- main. Because he is opposed to the, ono term principle as incorporated in the democratic creed by the pro ' pie through the election of General W. H, Harrison, our late lamented President—a principle, which, if strictly adhered to, will prove the best safeguard a gainst future Executive encroachments. Therefore, Resolved, That we will support Hon est John Banks for the Gubernatorial chair, in op position to David R. Porter. John Banks—whose past life is a guarantee for hie future conduct.

'Yesterday afternoon, he i tween five and six o'clock, a scene, as sudden and unexpected as it was beoittiful and of thriffir,g in ttrest, presented itself to the admiring observation Of,all who chanced at theimoment to be near the Nl F.: corner of Baltimore and Harrison streets. Two ladies of genteel appearance, each being well dress: cd. one attended by two Or three children, met at the corner alluded to, when suddenly the one wit h the children raised a parasol she held in her hand and commenced belabutning the other over the shoulders at no gentle sate. As if astonished at the attack, the other stooll quiet until her assailant, having broken the parziol, rushed upon her tore her bonnet from her head. This was an insult not to be endured. A blow Might be borne, but that her lovely head dress, which was of the latest cut and fashion, should be th'ns rudely assailed, passed human endurance. She returned the compliment therefore in a similar style, and away went the 06. gant" cottage of the other. They , next clinched each other by the hair, 'and went to work " tooth and nail." The assailant, however, speedily gaini• ed the victory, forcing the other to take refuge in the drug store on the coiner. So totally unlooked for was this scene, thatthe by-standers stood as if paralysed, and before they recovered themselves sufficiently to interfere, the fight was over and the victory won. The victor then, in explanation and justification of her conduct. stated diet the object of her attack was of a description delicacy forbids us to name,: that she had enticed from his allegiance the chosen partner of her heart—thb father of her children— her husband !—that so geeat was the influence ex ercised 'over him that he could be induced to do nothing for his children.': and that his seducer was so insolent as actually to come to his own house and take him away.
