. We' are always gratified when it to to our pow
er to record any new instance of the growth or_
improvement of our regi s on. With feelings akin
to this we shall , attempt the_discription of a nevi
colliery,
.which has been commented by our en
terprizing townsmv,Mr. James G. Oliver, at Bel
ratett,on the Schuylkill Valley Rail ti oad. : Mr.
ver has leased the Lewis and Spobu Viens on the
tract; for a term of fifteen years, ind has com
menced his working by sinking a slope upon the
fermi. vein. It will be mined by means of a sta
tionary engine, which is cow completed, the first;
operation of which we witnessed on Vilednesday
lest, in company with, the gentlenuinly proprietor.
The engine, which to of fifty horsepower, is from,
the shop of Messrs. POrnroi & Maginnie, and as
far as we could judge from %that a e saw of its ripe
ration,is one of the finest plebes ofutichinery ever.
turned - out in this region. , . • ,
'The veins ( Lewis and Spam) upon which"
Mr. Oliver hos commented his workings, rank as
the first in the region, end froni the, evidences
arrived at by proving, he is warranted in the bey
lief that they will eventuate profitably, end with
out fault. The length of elope from the. surface
•-
'to the level of t h e gangwity on the, l
Lewis vein will
be 120 yards—tteSpobn vein is then reached by
a tunnel which will extend in al northerly direc
von about a hundred yards, eo ;that he will be
thus enabled to draw, the product of both veins
with the one engine. Added, to this, the distanCe
from the colliery to Port Carbon is but about one
mile,-and the new rail. road from Tuscarora to
Mount Carbon, to connect with the. Pottsville dz.
Philadelphia Road, will pew within one
hundred yards from the mouth of the slope, thee
affording a choice between the ,two . facilities for
transportation, end giving him advantages equal
•
to any other colliery in the region.

that the whole ground of trial rests upon theallega
don that a poll war kept. open after ' the hour

ty of establishing a standard ot,tirne which is la

Our Washington correspondent in his let
ter of last week, which arrived too late fOr publi

hers,, does not discover to them / thdundenieble,
end to my mind, glaring fact, diet the only legiti
mate operation of this rule is to:continue and pro
mote; ay ! fan the flame of 'abolitionism. Rep eal
t this standing rule, and, as Mr. Mama ',has often.
times asserted on the floor Of the House, abolition
.01aptionera, will cease to knock t at its doors. It' is
the guaranteed right ofpelitnin that now impels
them onward; and taus deg that the c)untry bas
such a man in the popular branch of the National
Legislature as John. Quincy Adams, who is bold
enough, strong enough, persevering enough, sin
cere enough, and patriotic enough, to stand , in the

ring to maintain them."

tends 'no f i tarther -than seeing his name up.in the
.lamp in qUestion, and mY Wel object in making
this communiation is. that , the public may know
the advantages to be 13F r rived: from its use. By
actual experiment , I tiave ascertained that the cost
.of an equal amount of lit,tht, is!about one-third that
of good sperm oil,Wlttlit with ' s flame of, the same
size, a stronger and puier light is emitted. The
little trouble experienced in filling these; lamps—
the lard tieing Put' to cOld—and keeping them -in
order for
. burning, is another advantage they pos
sess, even over oil lamps, and Especially over those
lamps which require the lard ' to be first melted,—
A great! Objection to i fhe, ordinary lard !stops is,
the difficulty ezperienzed in getting them to burn
well wlien first lighted ; therm lamps, however,
burn with a clear and bright iflame from the first.

Frias'cia Xivisn MatiTur.--Passing down
Royal street, a day or two. age,.we: met a small,
infirm old man. There was :but little &all on

Short and grey, and his cheeks were hollow. He
wore a' tbreadbare surtout, and on old, 'shapeless
