The drawings are exe cuted in the best style of the art, and illustiate the ground plots, perspective views,elevations, &c., in every particular. It should be in the hands of every boss Carpenter, Mason ofbuilder—and even in those of the people generally the information it imparts would net be amiss. Architecture is a science. which has' received comparatively little attention in this country.— Our tog cabins and conical wigwams are peculiar to this 'country even at this day,.and it is a noto rious friet, in the history of Architecture, that they are the first style of dwellings known. The coni cal wigwam, while it is'the original structure man. is supposed to have invented to. protect him from the storm and the climate, has in a broad_ sense; scarcely been improved upon at the present day. Of the log cabin peculiar to new settlements, we have' merely enlarged upon. the design., not im proved in ,real taste—for, in Fuperceding it, we have contracted a nurinerism in our architecture which is neither taste nor actual comfort, but rests upon the original design of nature. To this fact, the dwellings generally met with in the country bear' ample evidence. only thing' 'in our State, upon which the people of the country may be said M have waked up, is Barns, arid the late itnprovethents in these necessary structures dis play refined taste, comfort and durability. But in dwellinge, there has been no positive `eltairge in taste. It is time, therefore, that we look after this sub ject, especially OS it maybe supposed that Archi tecture, being founded upon the exercise of good taste and jt.dgment, is susceptible of improving our social condition and of adding vastly to our comfort and hapidness.' Instead of the staid, spir itless dwellings' we now inhabit, built upon the selfsame plan, and finished in the self same style, we should intioduce the Collage, which we be hove is destined, ultimately, to become the char acteristic style of Architecture in this country.— This region of country is at least admirably adap ted for this style, uid in proportion as the sur rounding scenery is wild and - picturesque, should thirperspective be raised by the exercise of taste 'in the style of' building, the arrangement of the grounds, elevations and details. This, wink] impart a new feeling into rim social affections, lend.additionai charm to the associations of do mestic life, and give a refinement to our Tastes, which, indeed, it is time should form, a feature, in the present agi—fin age which will occupy -the grandest page, in other branches of science, in the history of Nations. . 89,914 95 ..9s buildings are alwaysgoing up in this region, alid,asthe.subject irpone which should at leas; be studied, we will merely add that copies of the above work may be had at Barman's Book stores, where all 'may be supplied.

THE COAL REGION—No. 8 In my previous papers. upon the Coal Region, I have proceeded to deicribe several collieries in the vicinity of Minersville ; ,epealdng of the "Schuylkill Region," in each paper, as if its extent, general character, Se. and its misition with reference to the other-anthracite fields, were thoroughly understood. I have also, negligently, used technical terms employed in reining, without re flecting that tbe.e terms, tallith° procesi of working mines, although familiar enough to our own population, we're perhaps, not at all under:4,snd by readers out of the min ing districts. It occurs to me now that I have !been cul pably careless; it is proper therefore that ,my error should be repaired as far QS possible, even at tinlslate period, End for this purpose. I shall submit in the pres-' ent paper a few brief and general remarks, (the' limits of a single newspaper article forbidding detailed description and minute particularity,) intended to be spiliciently planatory to enable readerS abrOad to understand what I have already written in former pipers, and may hereaft er write in others: o or as t to Anthracite of Pennsylvania has been ex. ploredund its presence fully ascertained, it occupies three seperate and distinct beds orfields, which lie near togctli. er on the eastern Bide of the Susquehanna, upon or be low its north branch, and bear a striking similitude to each other in general position, extent ofarea, and ;Tole. gietd features. They are first, the Coaltfelds'of Chunk and Schuylkill; second, that of the heaver Meadow, Shamokin, and Mahoney; third the Lackawa, no and Wyoming. Flat of these fields fermis a long eliptical basin, marked by a well defined border of red shale, and surrounded by in barrier of long and sharp mountain ridges. Two of these fields, ,the first and see. ond run side by side, ranging something north of cast; the other is some what apart from them and rangee forth. Cr north. Yet they aught, perhaps, front proximity and general resemblance, be considered ns constituting. One Coal Region I although tin id well marked ditlerence in the superfic of the 'country traversed by each of theta 'their i respective histories, and bnaistical relonon,s. With two of these fields have now nothing to do. The Mauch Chunk and Schuylkill Coul field commtin ces on the east, on the - Lchich river, and reaches Wt ,r -wardly to the west branch of the. Susquehanna river, ~a. tendingabout seventy mile4' in )ength. It is only from one to five miles wide, being pressed in between Broad. Mountain on the north and Sharp Mountain on the South: Them mountains, and the Coal field itself are penqyaterd by several streams, particularly the 'Schuylkill: itml its branches, the Swatara, and the Lehigh, afihrding natural outlets for the Coal, and passts for the Canals, and merous Railroads which net over with iron meshes this entire region. Nature has markrit a very considerable dietinetion, as to the different parts of this field. in regard to the position and quality of the 'coal; the triode of working, and the , I convenience of carrying it to niarket—my remarks how . . ever wilt he confined to what is by far-the miost interest ,!ing and valuable part, thecentral or interior tract, known, as the Schuylkill Region. fAs mydescriptions of mines and mining operations do not extendm that portion of the field known as the Mooch Chunk or Lehigh region, it is not nece-sitry; to speak' of it nalre - partientarly:inthis paper. In the Schuylkill region - the numerous head waters of the river Schuylkill have cut boldly through, the strata of coal, presenting a succession of elevated summit. , and deep revines.' admirably fitted for mttensive mining operations. Lime the, coal is in veins, generally' having an inclination , rdip tothe South, andeonsemtent• ly reaching OA surface, where they ire discoreied bi the depression. of the !soil over: the coal in the process of. composition, and theiropplap out, as thetlack duet which appears on the surface is called. The dip or angle of the veins is from forty to sixty degrees; the reins ile4end* ing to nn unknown depth. The beds •or veins vary in. thickness from one and two up to thirty feet. - As the veins usually. dip inane di, ection of the Imam'. rain side, the mode of wonting in , the interior !of the mines is regulated in reference to this fart: A drift or tun.. net, is driven into the side, of the mountain, that is when the object is to work the Veins above water level, a rail. roadie constructed upon its donr, and then the seem of coal is pierced horizontally, for a Convenie'ut distance, by which Menus the entire brinst of the seam, ns it is called, that it: the breadth or thickness of the rein, between the top and bottom Rlates, is esposed. and the miner, work by the nelivititill they reach the summit or out crop, throw ing the coal behind them, where it is loaded into cars or waggons, and thence drawn out' of the mines to the inn chinety trir breaking and sereening•it. The mines are worked in chambers, or, as they termed, breasts.

There is aconsideration of great practical importance to the consumer, that merits notice before these remarks are concluded, to:wit, the great diversity to , the quality of Coal in the various parts of the basin, and even in a single region.

The coal veins, generally, have a uniform range longitudi nally with the basin, north, ranging from : sixty five to eighty degrees East; so that when a valuable vein is opened on one tract of land, it can be traced to the ad joining tracts. The more celebrated veins are this opened on several tracts, embracing an area' of many miles. The course of the veinit;however, it is neces sary to remark, is, not unfrequently broken and inter rupted byvavines, and confusions,; occasioned by con 7 vulsimm of nature, or 'other tinexplained, : causes ; so that thereis always more or less uncertainty, touching extent, &c. In purchasing coal, attention should be given' to the vein from which it is talien .
