VOL. XVII. [From the American Railroad Journal and Mechanics' ~--- , - Itlar,aainel The AnthrOette Coal Treide. 'Atm'oag the. suijects of most interest to the public treated of in' the' "Sketch of a Railway." recently pubitshed at your ;mike, is that of. the - ctial showing that the oHly available mode heretofore of conducttiat it, has rendered nece6sary the demand of prices which have .Lorne hard on consumers, and been most particularly oppressive on the poorer clas ses of' theta when - they riai least 'able t I t. ..arm] it. - It does seem anomaly that the home product, which is only 200 miles off should bear as high or a higher price than the ((neigh sorts which have to come to us a distance of 3000 miles. The faith in the deepness of cabals is yet too generplly 'Bad too strongly implanted in our community, to bring them udder the suspicion of being in any way the cause of it—nor- will this faith be much shaken until by the means of a railway; coal is actuully to be bought much under our present high prices. 'As a useful record to look back upon at &tale fu 'lure day, it may be well to give the present price of Anthracite 'C'eral'ilePv&ed froth the boat, which may now be stated at fifi per ton. ter to then see and I record also the items which fid up the tiiarQin, be tween the first cost anditlit price which would seem -to imply large refits somewhere, Cost at the head of navigation, white ash, per ton. 32 00 Freight down the Schuyfkill, 1t43 miles, SI - 7 0 Toll to the canal, 90 Wastage, har.dling • arid shipping; on the Schuylkill, 67 Freight round to New York, . 1 40-4 6 Cost shipped on the Schuylkill, S 6 67 At $2 to the minor at the head of navigation the profit is bertnotletate, oiid the dealers In New York at a' cost of $6 ore certainly not overpaid at $73 of oat. Those then that make the moat profit. under this system, are the canal and freighters—the former have maintaiiied "a 'stelirly charge at the above rate, and have divided IS tier crist: per aurium— the lat ter fluctuate with the demand for coal, and generally absorb all the advantages in a rise of price, neither the mint r nor the dealer ever benelitting much there by. If, therefore, reform is in any thing wanting, it is 'in the coal 'retie, both as regards a reduction of the price and a regulaiity in the supply by which our own immediate comforts and the general prosperity 'itte'city would be solavorably affected. An aver age reauction ul $2. per ton an the prices heretofore paid on•coal Would 'belt saving' to' citliutheitgener 4trectly and indirectly, not 'readily estiniated, to effect which but one resource exists, and that is by the railway. . But how shall theproportion of persons, who yet believe in its efficiency—and remain to be agreeably disai pointed,. as they certainly will be, when the test shall be applied by the railway, which has been made the subject of the ~S ketch." Meanwhile, however, theameVeari which Tie miniy a're thus found in regard m the 'mitten's° poviers of this im provement, es constructed and managed at this day, is attempted to be made still darker, by statements of the following cast, which appeared kbiS i tit the begin- ning of June last, on this'very is . diject, VritTae Phila delphia United States aezette, by a'writer 'Who 'be gan by claiming some little practical knowledge of coals and railways, and conciuded his lung essay, as well he might, with the reservation of not pretend ing to extraordinary accuracy, Tbua, as to the groundwork of hie calculations. The expense per annum of running a "Locomotive and train of 60 cars" op this railway is made by him to be $24,550 While the actual fact, as proved by resu,ts on a dozen roads inferior to this, is that • cannot be made to exceed $lO,OOO, or at most , - 12,000 The - repairs to road, maintenance, sopelin tendence, etc., he charges at slB6,7oorper annum, being at the rate per mile per an num, 2,000 While the actual fact', ea can be proved by results on other•r.,ada, end competerit to renew the whole superptructtere, is a sum not exceeding per mile per anntan, 1,250 But besides this kir charges a sum of $BO,OOO per annum, to co%er the 'wear of the rail pi r - annum, put ting the whole cost of tire line of 94 miles at $2,000,- 000! ! Now at 80 tons of ircih-rail -per mile for 94 miles it would make 7,500 tons, ivhich r 'at $55 per ton,.(the present price delivered in New York being s duly s'4s wo'ilti,amount 'to only $414,00' Gir . the whole line, requiring at his ordn rate of wear of 4'per cent. per annum, only $:6,500 per annum, and that without giving any credit for the old iron, worth at least one half Of the new, an item of . set-off, altogether o'verlt tilted by ibleprdetiedi in m. And just as belay's it 66! to railway 'so does he take it off of the canal—the extraordinary repairs to the canal he charges ar only $lO,OOO per annum, on the principal that "water does not wear like the rails of the road," (see freshets ,of 1839 and 1841,) aria 'he makes the coal boats on, the canal deliver each sn the season of eight , thonths 1320 tons of coal, whep any of the boatmen would tell him they rarely average over 900 tons. ft needs but to point to these mote prominent ab surdities of this writer—an elaborate expot;ition of them cannot be required—and we refer to .them as specimens of the crudities by which the public allow themselves to be mystified, merely becadie they are endorsed as nnanewerabk by those whose interests debar thetn from knowing any better, and who, shricriiin I fiy 'the accident of position, has some influ ence with those who are unwilling to do their own thinking. • , The queificin, with the public at large, Is not is to the profitableness or this railway as-an investment . — what concerns them is, that it is competent to carry coal, as so fully established in the "Sketch," and at prices which • will effect The desired Veforin. These prices have recently been announced 4 all'vertiser went to be st} , per ton fur the winter, $1 16 fur the spring, $2 per ton for the summer, delivered on the D e izwore at Philadelphia.'

The principal .adsanuige, 'therefore...of this . railarag is, that it *i ll regulate leritilari in future by == Weekly by Belijamin Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania . „ the 'canal, so that hereafter, between`lhe Iwo, the public will be served at steady-and moderate rates. We say a.between the two," for the reason that we estimate the (mew iption of t 842, '4 3 ; the sea son VI hen these avenues will be in full competition, at 800 161 . .09.6,000 of tons of Anthracite. and that with only one track, and the want of other conveni ences, which time aloneean bring, we do not believe in the competency of the railway al first to deliver conveniently over 500,000 tons per annum; and further, that it is much the interest of the railway, and indeed Of the Schuylkill region, that the remain ing 500,000 tons should be made to pass thncanill, Which by the right co-operation could be readily ef fected. The basis tor accomplishing this must be a con formity in the cost of placing the white osh coal afloat in New York by canal and railway, taking $4 35 per ton as made above by the lam, for a stan dard, against which other regions furnishing the same quality of coal, could not lone continue to com pete. The component parts of that standard as Sil ted to the canal could bo adjusted as, follows, al. though they may be here put so low as only to al low the several interests to live : Cosi 'of coast the mine:'white ash, $1 CO Mine rent, - - • - Freigh; and toll over lat'cral roads, .- - - 25 FreigFt down the Schuylkill, 10 miles, t - ; .1.00 T:4l to the canal. - • • ; • 40 Shipping, charges, etc , and supposing waste on ' canal savcd, - - 40 . Freight to New Yolk from the Schuylkill. I 00 It must be kci,t in oiled, tii'at were it intessaTg, tie railway con carry pri•fitabla to itia.ll under $2 per ton, as it has ad%erttved for the a inii e, w hen , the canal is closed , and that its adherence in that Price is only riNuired, as ear; of a compact, to place the dealer by canalon an cqualay with the railway, supposing the rates just eatouu.cd fur tae can..l tu be tenable as a living average. Detains ed this charit'c'tcr are. however, only to he fairly trAjUstetf by'aChial experience but while so many interests call for art arrangement by which these two avenues may be made to co-operate fur the general good of the whole. end both to prosper, , 111 e yet hope to see one concocted from this roach draft ialkh - may "hate. a mutual and durable basis The preponderance in advantages fur tralle which the railway, by its general facility of p e rsonal intercourse alone, will diffuse tbruughoirt ibis region; must be seen andielt before they can be justly appreciated. Let widow see how the canal wilt stand at a toll of 'lO bents Per tan, allowing tha t the ether pails of our plan will hold together. By tolls, 500,C00 tone coal, 40 cents per ton, $200,000 Water rents, 16.000 Tolls as now through the Union canal, etc., 95,060 Interest on loans, 2.200,000, $5 50 per cent , 12f,01 0 Repaire and maintenance per 111111U111, . Itio,ooo - 221,000 • Dividend on capital, 1,700,000, 5 per cent., 90,0611 This would' make the canal 'a 6 per' cent. per an num stock for the present, and if the ratlwriy should at the same time divide 10 per cent, or more, consi dering its additional resources in travel and the mail, etc., it should be rejoiced at, rather tban give rise to any envious feeling. While on the subject of the coal trade, we would only further advert to the readiness with which com paratively distant coal regions talk of furnishing large supplies of ibis article, without first finding a cemsurriplion far' l'bus the Cumberland mines— Wyoming Valley—Dauphin company, etc.—each have their item of 500.000 tone, ready to send forth when their avenue. are clear—forgening that the Schuylkill region with her two avenues of railway and canal, can always flood the markets and under sell them for yeara to come, even when the con sumption shall have reached two millions of tons, the present capacity of the canal being near a million of tons, and that of the railway, witb two tracks, llll. mitable. It should be remarked, however, that the veins of the red ash coal (indispensable fur domestic use) are comparatively limited in the Poitsville region, and may ere long becom e expensive to mine. It would :hen be desirable tolnake the large bodies of it in the Swalara or Pine Grove district more avail able than they now are—the smallness of the Union canal, and the low stole of wate- in it generally, not allowing this coal to be got to mark.•t on terms to compete with that of iymtaville. When, ihert tore, the branch road, contemplated from Reading to Harris. burg, through the Lebanon valley, is opened, the plan should be to 'connect with it—which will opeo that district to the Susciueharina at Harrisburg on the one bend, and the Delaware at Philadelphia on the other, but paiticulaely the latter, as the most readily and cheaply reached, for supplying the great points of consumption on the eastern seaboard. If the co-dperation we have 'mein adverted to, be tween these two parallel avenues in the Schuylkill valley,is as practicable as it certainly is desirable to all interests, immediate and adjacent, the sinner it is so publicly understood the better—and it would, in t at case, be well for the parties intt rested, to pro claim that the rule of conduct they intend mutually to pursue, is that of ~ T o Live and let Live."

Mr. - --I beg his pardon— Dieter. C 7 rr.was this season engaged, also, as a singer. Ile had a thundering voice, as !,what he lacked in musical skill, he more ' than made ep in impudence and assurance. 'Fho.actors, with one accord, determined to set these vocalists by the ears. By retailing Welted, the pretended sayings of. the other s it took but a few weeks before they began to treat each other cold. ly and presently they di opped all intercourse. From the time they ceased to speak to or recognise each other, it took but a very short ;aeriod to make them deadly foes, and many was the threat made on both sides. When we had gut their jealousy and ha tred excited to a proper pitch, it was agreedthat a regular . 4 blow up" between the two should end the joke. It had been a part of the system to make them believe that there was a great excitement to .the tows, about the tarot of the two rivals.—One - night, having 'canted in the hex office chat the' farce of the Sprigs of Laurel. or the Rival Soldier?, w as to ciinstitu . n a pert of the entertainment lot holiday eight, I went into- the peen room. where the two vocal heroes were sitting, and addressed one of the principalupert ormera ihus—;-pretenristsg not to see the two Captains, as we 'called them— " This excitement (demi t e two singers hair growii to such an nlar 11l il ig extent, that the' manager has determined to have a 'trial ot skill' between them ; and the one who I ~ses is to he discharged.''--sThe vocalists I r'el ed up II sirtar—Captain S. wee In. credulous at first, but C.

"What piece is selected for the to-casino, and when is the trial to take place ?" asked old Henderson, who waerdwalle in the front rank jokers. "The Rival Suldiers, I believe, is the piece, and the Bth of January is selected as the most appropriate day for the eon. test," Answered I. Just at that moment, as if to confirm my stmt., the cut -boy entei eJ, and wafer. ed up a cast of tile very piece spoken of—with Mr. S. set down for the character of Sinclair, and Mr. C for that of Lennox. This settled the matter in their minds—there was no joke in it, for the mane. tier never joked. The songs were selected—renear: sale gone through, and the glorious dth arrived. The house was craintned, as it always was on that anrttversary,aid the bets ran high among the-ac. tors, as to be result ut the trial of skill.. For the purpose of clearing their voices, pro. vided a large orange—and S. had procured some mixture in a 4 oz. phial. The mischievous actors contrived to fill C's. orange with snuff—and to sub: etitute pepper vinegar, froth an oyster stand, fur S'e. mixture 10 the phial, The moment arrived when their fate was to he decided by the impatient public. The two siegers were looking askance at each Mk: er it the glass, with no very friendly eyes, when the call-boy howled out at tile door —" Sinclair and Lennox ail the act !" Away went the rival soldiera —but before mounting the steps which led to the stage, each hastened to his dressing room, to tak,e a last "clearer" of his throat— a suck at the orange, and a portion of the pepper vinegar. They met at th e vteps which led to the stage. The.vinegar and the snuff began to be tasted " Vat the 'ell 'ave you (seen putting in my orange 1" shouted the doctor. " What d—d stuff have you been putting into my phial 7-I'm poisoned," mailed S. By G—d,, I'll v 1,3 you yen i come off the stage," continued, C. Here the prompter's voice voice was heard ex claiming—.. the stage is waiting for Lennox end Sinclair " Away they went—and met un'the stage as friends—though their side glances were any thing but amicable. The cue for S's. song was given to the orchestra ; and after clearing his throat ad well as he could, he begun, interlining the lieu of the poet with some expressions of his own— 13D2 Ow- :-- ",Oh, my love is like the red, red rose. • That sweetly springs in June— ( Jost wait till / catch you out, that's all.
