OUR REGION! its Present Prosperity and Future Prospects, We present our readers this week with our an 'mak:statistics of the Anthracite Coal Trade or . the United States.

There are now, completed two great public works which have been constructed' to connect _the Schuylkill Coal Region with Philadelphia and the Eastern Markets, at a cost of abbut Seventeen .111i7hns of Dollars! Within_ the last four years the business of the region has increased' beyond precedent, and yet its resources are but partial ly deCeloped. - The new mines which have been, :opened, the improv:fments,made in. old operatiOns, and the 'certainty Lh there Will be no difficulty in sending the cell to' Markel, gives assurance that hereafter the suiiiidy of coal, from the Schuylkill region will tniy-be liniitedb r y the demand. We liwie seen it stated that in England the amount Ol i • Coal consunied, avetiages about 'ono ton to each inhabitant, or about 13,000,000 tons • per annum: Wben..we take into consideration that, rapid as has'been the groWth of the coal hn_ siness in this country, the total amount mined up to, the . time, has been but about 15,500,00 d tons, wee can form an idea, of the immense , importance of the) trade, iaome future period- Every year adds larzely to the number of Man- . - alfactories in the Cuion—the population of our country, is rapid) , iuM-easing,'"and as the popula tion becomes denie, the difilculty of procuring fire wood increases. Coal 'therefore' must be 'de pended Upon as the fuel for the mannfactory,„ the furnace, the forge and the family, aiid the time is fast approaching when the use of wood for fuel will be scarcely known in thelEasterm part of the United State. It will all be needed for other purposes, aul.l in.its place. will be substituted the . black tliamotid of the. Penusylvattiu'AliUes, more valualle than the sparklingjeWel4rom Golconda or Brazil. Great as have been the improveMents made in.. , . our region during the last few years, by file • grcos.-tli, of tlieCoal- Trade' , the business is yet in its infancy, and its future iinpqrtance, and tlie.ef= _ fects it will have upon the business of the whole` .• County an hardly be estimated.

There arc already in our. County eight Steam Engine Factories in' op s eratiou, and the work turned out ,by them is not equalled in strength and durability in our Coun try. When we take into consideration tho'faet that curing the past year 3S Engines for Colliirf purposes, mare thin one third of all neiw emptriy. f ekin the regiin, have been made at pur/mat.hine shops, we can form a tolerably, correct idea of the rapidity with which the use of :steam power is iii crciEing in out region.,Shpuld:the Coal Trade in crease as it has' increased for a-few years back, We • triay venture the prediction that ,the period is not far distant tvfien Schuylkill COuntywill he noted nut only for manufacturing,butfor employing 'a greater number Of :Steam Engines than any . other County in the Unruh.
