which haa'alr:eady reached its third editiorOxlifed
by W. B. Rowlett, Architect, and published in
numbers, at 50 cents each, by Wm.H. qt!haP.
'Nevi York. _ksch number contains six= elegant
drawings on stone, embracing original designs of
architecture suitable for all kindsof buildings, but
especially for Oniamental and DOM'estic Cottages;
with full plans and specifications for their erection,
the kind of materielito betsed - and estimates-rn
detail of the whole cost. 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. .

Many of our readers will doubtless remember
that immediately before and after the nomination
of the, dale Henry A.„Mithlenhurg, for Governor
in 1844, by the Locoform State Convention, a
newspaper Was publb.hed at Harrisburg called the
Democratic Champion. it was a small, insigni
ficant affair. and:remarkable. for nothing but the
coarse bleckguardism exhibited in its columns,
and the violent and outrageotta, manner in which
it asS'ailel the said Mulalenheig and opposed his
election after the ri - ernination had been made.—
The paper pUrported to be printed by two young
men, named Crangle and ,Sprigrinin, both Arm
sPonsible persons at that time, and enteraining
little compunctions of conscience as to the char
acter.of the work they were employed in.
Colonel Seth Salisbury, a personal 'friend and
admirer of the late Mr.,M rthlenberg, and who. oc
cupies a high position in the Locofoco party in
this State,—having held the important post of
Marshall 'of Northern Pennsylvania under Mr.
Van Buren, and, was repeatedly elected to the
office of State Librarian by the Locofucos of the
State Legislature, and well-known throughout the
country as a leading locofoco.has addressed a letter
to tae editors of the North American, in answer
to a remark of that Journal that ho was cognizant
of the fact that Francis R. Shirnk, Jesse 'Miller,
Petriken and others ; were the editors of the above
newspaper (the Champion) and that they fur
nished the ostensible editors of that Journal with
the articles coritainipg tha most inftmous slanders
upon Mr. • IMulilenberg. Dr. Salisbury prom - idly
admits the fat, and encloses copies of the articles
front ,the-MSS. in his pOssession, which were
written by the aforesaid Miller, Petriken, &c. •
lipnW the publication of these articled, with
their identiticatiOn, a terriblemcomtnotion ensued
in the tibunk Cabinet, and a,denial was put
.out
•
as 'soon* possible, and in the utmost:confusion.
But Dr. Sitlisbnry, it appears, was fully pre
pared h'ir them, 'and no sooner had their denial
been giyen, than he appears in a second letter, in
which he re...affirms his stoement, and eithibits
the original MSS.—backed with the solemn oaths
of Crarigle, Henry and Augustus Sprigrnan; and
°diem,' He also publishes a letter from the Hon .

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

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'

appears on the surface is called. The dip or angle of the
veins is from forty to sixty degrees; the reins ile4end*

thickness from one and two up to thirty feet. -
As the veins usually. dip inane di, ection of the Imam'.

mines is regulated in reference to this fart: A drift or tun..

coal is pierced horizontally, for a Convenie'ut distance, by
which Menus the entire brinst of the seam, ns it is called,

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. These
brutes are opened from the stiinguai, that is from the
re ran road before spoken of, piercing th 6 coal horizon

breasts are opened. or. as it is usttully styled, turned, of
different widths, usually ten feet Wide, the - width being
gradually increased as they ascend the nclivity towards"

way to support the roofing of gangway; Aides are com
eructed at the month of each breast by means of which
the coal is loaded into the n - nagens: It may be proper to
remark here, that the depo-its cool is found between
two strata-of slate'termed by miners, fop slate and bottom
slate; these slates form the natural floor, and roof of the
mine.' It is to support the roofs that p=alms me left stand,

In working belowdevel when the vein is worked up to

this region.
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. As great a difference, in
deed, exists in this regard, as trees of different species.
growing upon the same soil; say, for instance, Hem
lock, Pine, Walnut, Oak, or Maide- - -not only is there a
difference in the purity of the coal in different, veins
near to each other, but we may also remark thhi gen
eral differences that, commencing at their southern
termination, in' thaharp mountain, the coal in the veins
aa you proceed north; to the: Broad Mountain, becomes
gradually - harder. The same feet is obsereable in tra
cing the vein througli its length.. As you proceed east
towards Mauch Chunk it grows - harder; while proceed
ing west from Mirstiviile, it becomes gradually softer,
Datil is era eelgtiborheed or the fluiquehened k beearime
too soft for prolltable:twasportation. This view of tius
subject is effectually conffinte4 - by the 'weietts 'of the
'roe in different 'twins of the field. At ;Smelt Chunk, for

Atithracite . Coal is now divided for practical p urpo-
Set. Into thiee classes; that Which burns freely and
leaves a residuum of red ashes; a second hinter and
more difficult.to Ignite, Whitt" leaves a iptiduum of : •
ashes ;, a third Still more difficult of ignition, which
leaves a residuum of white ashes: hence the names
red-, salts and grey ash. !The white and grey Coal is
most esteenied for machinery ;tlie led ash Coat of-jtie
hitter' veins; is most. valuable for.tioulestir uses. 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 . More than to
the particular name of the Colliery or the. tract on
which the vein is mined, The veins worked at the
extensive and very fine Colliery of Mr. Joseph T. Tay
lor, which I shall now proceed to describe, yield the
very best quality of red ash coal.
