Ariate this difficulty, they have sunk another '
Slope, near the middle of the tract, i to the)
depth Caf about 850 feet, on the- inclination of
the v,ein, the pitch of which is about 20 de
grces,—giving theri a breast of about 400
feet below the first level, on the Southern
pitch of the vein., It was their intention to

that it is a violation of a Patent right 'held
by hits. Our Mill owners have determined
t this efaim,'and bavecalled a meeting

their rights,—a notice of which is appended

week's since, we_ published a decision, in the,
United States' Court at Columbus, giving his ;•
heirs a verdict of $l5O against John Stiles o f
Guernsey c 0.,, for usfrOisiotprOved water
wheel. In the U. S. Court of Indiana,a aka
iru case was decided against Parker's right.
As a number of our Mill owners are thrrat
ened_with suits by agents of Parker, we have
deemed it alit duty to collect and publish all
the reliable infortnatioin we can on the sub
ject—so that those millovrners can act under
standingly, and not suffer themselves to be
imposed upon by:'_ the Parker - atents, as we
have reason to fear some have been already.
In the Stile's case at Columbus, the question
turned entirelv_npoa_the use of the 'Spiral
Scroll 810ck, 6 - patented.to him. Therefore,
Mill owners are NOT liable,' unless they use
the Spiral Scroll Block, or something equiv
alent thereto, to prodire a vertical motion in
the water before it reachei the wheel. Anoth,

as follows : 5
".From 'what I helve been able to learn, I I
I
think you need really_ entertain little doubt-of
your final ;laces.; against Parker. They-all
agree that Parker has given up his claim for
" two or more wheels, in pairs, on a horizontal
shaft." They say; he, (Parker) admitted to
the Court, that he did not claim that, and that
the verdict they got was only grounded on the
useof the Scroll, ae,"
These ate believed to, be the facts of "the
case.. Those who do- not use the Spiral scroll
Block, are not liable—neither are, those who
have paid one of Parker's agents, liable to a

OUR COAL . FORMATION."
- , itrAIT TEIZORIE.
I!¢cGinnes, of this Borough, is
engaged ln sinking a shall on the Gate Win
Tract, with a view of discovering the Mam
moth Vein of White Ash. Coal, which
wOrked at theßroad Mountain. Mr. G. con
tends that this - vein underlays the whole Coal
Basin, from the Broad to the Sharp Mountain,
and by the convulsions ofNature,or upthrows,
forms 5 distinct Basins of Coal between the
Broad and Shnrp Mountains—that one of
these upthrows has forced this vein to with
in 70 or SO feet of the surface at the point
where he is sinking the shift. He has already
sunk to the depth of 50 feet. and according to
his calculations, will reach the vein at a fur
ther depth of about 20 feet. I Should no un
forseen accident occur, he can reach this depth
in two or three weeks, when more light will
probably be thrown upOn this theory. Many
of, our citizens, who felt disposed to believe
that Mr.. MeGinnes was half crazed Upon
;this subject, after an examination, have be
came converts. There is one strong corrob.
orating point which goes far- to sustain , it,
and that is, that the 13afraclonh Vein, which
was worked in the Sharp Mountain about 20
Years ago, and which _corresponds with the,
position of the veins, as laid down by Mr. Mc-
Ginnes, produced White Ash Coal.
We have received the following Communi
cation from Mr. Joseph George, of, this 80-"
rough, who has measured the distances be•
tween the different formations, and made; a
draft of the same, which can be seen at Mr.
, .
MeGinnes' office. ,
OUR COAL FORMATION.
Mr. Bannon :—As considerable interest is
manifested -by the public respecting the the
ory of the Geological Formation of our Coal
Basin, now being made 'manifest by E. W.
McGinnes at the shaft he is now sinking on
the Gate Vein Tract, and there being:such a
diversity of opinion respecting it, has induced
me to make some inquiry. into, and measure. i
meats of the same. That the Coal has, at
some time lain fist, cannot be doubted, and
has, received an''undulating form from up-
throws or elevating causes. The best evi-
4ence of this is, that the lowest strata, or
freestone, is found in the highest mountains,
this is admitted to be thecase by geologists,
and there can be no 'bettelievidenee of these
upthrows than is found iii our own region,
where all the examination and signs corrob
'orate these facts. The Red Sandstone. Shale,
&:e., found on the south side of the Sharp.
correspond With those of the Broad Mountain ;
also the-Conglornerate and Sandstone of the
intervening space correspond so exactly, that
the man who doubts this theory of upneav
ings, must be sceptical indeed. At the Gnte
Vein Tract there is conclusive evidence of this
—the Anticlinal axis, or saddle as it is known
by practical' miners, is there brought to the
surface, and every strata, or measure, 'follows
this axis or saddle in beautiful order ; and in
the space of a few yards we ,have the north
and south dips plainly developed. There
are five of these upthrows in this Coal Basin
between the 14°4. and -.Sharp Mountains,
which plainly4how . the'Coal Measures to
have-an undulating line or form. It was not
my intention to write a Geological essay,
but simply to confirm the truth of this theory
by actual measurements. I find there. are
,seven principal veins (nine if you include the
Foust and -Rabbit Hole) above the White Ash.
This is more plainly shown in theAtasin be
tween the Anticlinal Axis at McGinnes' shaft
and the Synclinal Axis, just above the York
Store, showing plainly that this is the deep
est part of the Coal Basin. The measue
merit taken on the surface from Pinkert i's
ole_
mines at Mine Hill, are as follows: From t
White Ash to the Holmes, or Black Valley,
which is the first aboVe, is 14S yards, sna
king its height at right angles with 'pitch or
dip of the - veins, 37 yards ; this corresponds
with the vein opened and 'worked by William
Jones on 'the Gate Vein Tract. The next is
the Primrose, 23i yards above the Black Val
ley ; this agrees with a vein - now opened on
the turnpike, opposite the Gas Works. Then
comes the Qrchard or Clarkson, 75 yards ;
the Yard and Barrachiu,gh, known in other
sections as the Palmer and Charly Potts, 74
and 36 yards!;' the Peach'Mountain, or Spohn,
or Gate, 90 yards ; then the uppermost sheet
known in the several4orking,s as the. Lewis,
or Tunnel, or Salem, SO yards—making the
depth of he Basin between 1200 and 1500
feet, in u
r ct
ding the top covering , in the vicin
ity oft e Sharp Mountain. To corroborate
this, w have a measurement taken. in the
Scratd Region whore the .White - Ash is
worked above water level, having the Red
Ash north and south:of it on the same level.
There, also:the depth of the Coal Basin
agrees with lily mea.srement.
The above facts lin - ve been brought to light
by the indefatigable exertions of Mr. E. W.
McGinncs, who, bv his own strong mind
1 and industry, has fully developed them in , the
shaft he is mow sinking, There cannot be a
doubt but that the White Ash is in close
proximity to the surface—another proof that
these are facts, the Iron ore which he cut in
his shaft is ' the Argillacious or Clay Stone
..ore, and is not found in this Region in any
other place than immediately over the White
1.
Ash vein,s. • ,
When We take into consideration the in
creased value of Coal lands in our-vicinity,
and the close proximity of White Ash. Co
llieries to our Borough, without saying any
thing about the immense quantity of. Iron
ore he has exposed in the shaft, we cannot
but feel thankful to him, who through his
determined zeal and untiring industry, has
brought these facts to light.

V. Gas Meeting.--Since the Introduction
of Gas to our Borough, theta has been cm.
siderable excitement,. produced by the high
rates at which Gas is flimished; and, also,
in consequence of the charter, for which the
Company is now applying, not being restrict
accordance with the provisions of the Boro' ,
ordinance upon this subject. A meeting
o f t h e - c iti7ona, was accordingly" called - on
Thursday evening, to take into consideration
these thus. It was alternate) addressed
by Messrs. .M. Palmer and F. W. Hughes
—the former of whom dwelt upon the defects
of the charter„ and urged the citizens to re
monstrate against its by the legisla
ture. Mr. Hughes itted that the charter
'had, been prepared hastily, and offered to
make such amendments as would be satis
factory to the citizens. This inadvertency,
however, by which some important features
were omitted, was not known to the citizens,
nor to the Borough Council, and therefore,
tinder these circumstances, we think they
were perfectly justifiable in opposing its pas
sage, in its present shape. Although it was
drawn up hastily, certain expressions were
made use of by persons connected' with the
Company, winch l€ 4 many to believe that
there Was a determination to push the Bill
through before the People or the Conned
could be heard upon the subject. We are in
favor of imposing all proper restrictions
upon Corporations, not.to oppress , them but
to hold them amenable to the people, from
whom they derive their power, for all their
acts'. The people are naturally jealous of
all Corporations, and therefore those who de
sire to be invested with such privileges, for
purposes, ought to try to soothe the
public mind, instead orpursumg a course cal=
culated to inflame it. Had the Charter been
submitted to the Borough Council before it
was tent to Harrisburg, as it ought to have
been, these difficulties, we feel confident,
would have been avoided.
On the other hand, it would be exceeding
ly improper to throw any furtherobstacles to
the way of the Gas Company, since they have
acknowledged their error in framing the bill;
and have agreed to meet the Council, with a
view of preparing another,. properly guarded,
so as to give satisfaction to ail parties. Such
improvements meet the approbation of all
good citizens, and every inducement ought
to be held out for the investment of Capital
in aiding such projeects, intended for the
benefit of the community at large ; and it is
also the duty of every good citizen to frown
upon all mere factious opposition, proceeding
-from improper motives, not having the pub.:
lic good or the prosperity of the Borough at
heart.
The meeting was not characterized by that
spirit of harmony and good feelings which
is necessary to the success of measures of
this kind. To be brief. we never witnessed
such bitter feeling,. The meeting was a
most disgraceful -. affair, and reflected little
credit upon the town.
• To see Judges and Lawyers interchanging
low epithets-Txtilling one another liars, &c.,
and other bad`nameq—is not what will effect
thedesired resulis&such - cases„and it is truly
to be hoped that there will not be a repetition
of such scenes, on such occasions, in our Bo
rough, for years to come.
The proceedings of the meeting will be
found in another column.

Enacted and ordained by the Town Coun
cil of the`Borougb of Pottsville, July 3, 1849. I
Wit. WOLFF.
Attest— President of the Town Council.
J. H. Downino. Clerk.
The above Ordinance was considered as
the basis of adjustment bet Ween the Council
and the applicants, and as such the citizens
expected to see it carried out in good faith:
It was fully assented to by the applicants, as
containing all theqnivileges they required at
the time, ;and although it was supposed a
charter would be applied for, it never was
anticipated that certain provisions contained
in the Ordinancd would be wholly omitted.
True, it did noteontain sufficient protection
against impositicin and monoPoly l but this
could be provided for in the act of incorpora
-don. But it did secure the citizens against
I exorbitant rates for gis—protected the public
healthovided for the repair of streets, and
I secured a s light to the public for Borough
purposes, at a deduction of five per centum
on ordinary rates. It was fully anticipated,
and thoroughly Understood, that. the above
provisions would be inserted in the charter,
and the* wholesome spirit of that Ordinance
carried out. The undersigned were surprised
to learn'that a bill (No. 69 on Senate File)
had been read iii Senate without the knowl
edge of the Council or citizens, and without
the co-operation of either, and - that the Cora
pony were urging its .immediate passage.
The bill is in direct hostility to the Ordinance
above referred to, and does not contain one
wholesome, restraining clause. If enacted,
it would fasten upon the citizens of Pcltti
vile a huge corporation, without responsi
bility and without restriction.
It is provided in the 3rd section ofi said
Bill, that the capital stock:of said Company
shall be $60,009, with the right of increase
to $100;000. The amount actually expended
in erecting buildings, Ex
~ and in laying
pipes, does not exceed $20,000, and will not
exceecl,[under any circumstances (within , the
Borough) 830,000. Yet, on this investment
of $20;000, the company ask the right to is
sue stock to the amount of $60,000 ! thus
enabling them to pocket on speculation, from
$30,000 to $40 7 000, while the rates for Gas
must be made sufficiently high to enable the
Company to deelare a dividend on -860,000
to the great injury or gas consumers, from
whom 'the dividend must be collected.
By the bill above referred to, there is no
stipulation that the company shall repair the
streets when dim up
,to lay down pipes, or
for other purposes : no proviso that they will
furnish gas at moderate rates, and none that
it shall be furnished to the porough at a re
duction of five'per-centum.
In short, yciur petitioners do not desire a
monopoly of this kind it 4 their midst, with
no controlling 'power or right of supervision
placed anywhere: and while they are willing
that the company should have such corpora
tive power as is necessary to their f existence
l as a company.; they wish to see them held
under , strict control, for all experience shows
' that powerful corporations will encroach on
the rights of citizens.
All of-which is respectfully submitted.
.lesolred, That Robert Morris, Isaac Sev
ern; R. M. Palmer, Wellington Kline, Danl
Shertle, and James Focht, be appointed a
Committee toyroeure the signatures of our
Citizens to the Remonstrance, and that copies
be forwarded to every member of :he Legis
lature, and to. the Governor of Pennsylvania.
The report .of the Committee having been
read,'Mr. Hughes again offered-his preamble
and resolutions, as a substitute, which was
not agreed toi and the report of the Commit
, tee was adopted.
Mr. Hughes then submitted his preamble
and resolutions, which, after being modified,
were adopted, as follows :
WHEREAS; It •is communicated to this
meeting, that the owners of the Gas House
Stock, fixtures and appurtenances, are will
ing to meet the members of the Town Coun
cil, of said Horough, to draft and prepare a
Charter for laid Company, embodying the
provisions and restrictions contained in the
Ordinance of ?d July last, therefore,
Resolved,. That this meeeting recommend
to the Towri Council to meet said owners of
said Gas prOperty, With the view of comply
ing with the said prOposition.
it was then
Resolved,, That these proceedings be sign
ed by the officers, and published in all the
papers of this Borough.
On motion, adjourned..
(‘'ilised by, the Officers.)
Good Gracious !—We understand that the
Woman, residing in West Branch VallEl,,
