For. many years a record has been kept in relation to every single bar removed, show ing the length of time it had been in use, and its condition when removed, so that it can beat a moment ascertained how many ' tons' weight bad passed upon it before it be came so far worn as to render its removal necessary ; and the result of the whole has been to estal.lish the fact that true economy requires that American iron should alone be used for all future repairs, even at a much greater difference of price than now exists-? That such is the case, will be seen from the following facts: ' ' • An English rail, •weighing al,rty pounds to lthe yard, requires ninety of our tonsio the ile; thecost of which, at S4°, would be 83, ' . .An American one, of, fifty pounds tons to it y e • yard, would require seventy-eight to : which, at s4B,would be $3,744.

The Trenton True American gives the fill • lowing particulars of a fatal accident that occurred on Tuesday evening of last week, to Dr. Dunn, Mayor of .Princeton ;--" Dr. Dunn left Princeton on Tuesday Morning, to attend the inauguration ceremonies of the Ooyernor at Trenton in a wagon, with a fractious horse. In coming down the hill at Stony Brook the wagon broke down. He returned to Princeton, and started again with the 'same horse, in a sulkey. Not far from Princeton, the tire of one of the wheels came , off. He had it repaired, and when about en tering Trenton, the same tire broke again. He lett the sulkey at the head of Warren street, for repairs; and spent the day in the city. He started for home about seven o'clock, and was found dead in the road about four miles from the city, by George L. Dean. The sulkey was found a short dis tance further on, with one of the shafts bro- kat." STRANGE PENIS Rai E N T.

Saturday Morning, Fob• S. To the Editor of tie " Miners' Journal.' PAilads/phia. February 4, 1551 Ma.,13aNN.t..4 : —Your editorial of Saturday last has surprised us, hot a little. Persuaded that it was written ender a misapprehension. have to ask a place for the following- re marks in relation to it. What is if asked for ? Simply - for per mission to associate for the purpose' of ex pending capital in the improvement of prop erty now owned by the persons; who ask that permission. You say that they can as sociate under the'general manufacturing law for all the purposes contemplated in the char ter now prayed for. That is at least doubt ful. If they can - do so, then they obtain nothing by theeharter, and no injury can re sult from granting it. If they cannot, then it is only granting to Coal that which al ready la granted to Cotton. Can this injure any one ? . I certainly think not. On the contrary, I think that if I can, by_the aid of that permission to associate—for,' a charter is no \more- ( induce ten. twenty, fifty, or five hundred persons to come forward and expend one, two, three, or five :hundred thousand dollars among ipur,laborets and mechanics, I shall thereby bedefit not only those laborers and those Mechanics, but your store-keepers and.property-holdefs,and even your editors, and such I am much inclined to think would be - the opinion of the whole people of your Borough. It is said, however, that there are more mines opened than are worked ; granted—but is-the coal trade never to increase? To sink a deep shaft requires great expenditure and years of labor, and it may reasonably be sup posed that by the time such a shaft can be sunk, some of the now productive mines will have ceased to be productive; and that it will come in season to supply their place. Sup posing it to be otherwise, will the people of Schuylkill County be impoverished, or in any way injured, by increased competition among the land-holders for tenants ? Has the Coun- 1 ty-eirer been injured by the expenditure of the land-holders }Upon their properties? I think not, nor can I see how such expenditures can now injure it. ' It is said, further, that individual , enter prise is sufficient, and will continue to be so. It may be so for small operations, but not for large ones, such an expenditure as is here contemplated will never, and can never be made by individuals. It requires combined exertion, and that can be obtained only under a charter. You say, however, that it is a monopoly -01 what? Of supplying Coal? The pro vision of the bill expressly excludes all min ing operations, and therein it is far less favor able than the general manufacturing law, for that grants the right not only to build the mill but to work it. We ask to build the mill only, not to work it. Again, at present, the supply of - capital to your region is in the bands of a few wealthy men, who charge a large price for the use at it. They have a monopoly. To bring in a hundred or a thousand smaller capitalists will - be to abolish the monopoly, and. benefit not only your operators but. the County gen erally. Has any monopoly privilege been asked ? Read the bill and you will see that there is none. What we ask-to day may be granted to a hundred others to-morrow, and will eventually be the basis of a general law among the difficulties now attendant upon the formation of an association for mining . purposes, and such a law should exist. The interests of every property-holder in Pottsville and every operator in the region are, as I conceive, directly concerned in seconding the application to the Legislature, and such, I. am much disposed to think, will be you own opinion when you reflect on the subject more carefully. The Country for miles around Pottsville is gradually losing its position in reference to the .coal trade, for the red-ash mines are being abandoned, and unless you can do something that will tend to bring up the '.lands in your neighborhood, the trade must go to other places than Pottsville, and per haps to others than Schuylkill County. Examine this matter, I pra y ; you, more i carefully,and the result will be to satisfy you that it is not only ann-monopoly through out, but that it is precisely that which the county needs, and that it is entitled .to your earnest and thorough support ; and such I know to be the opinion of many of the best and most intelligent men in the county. I am yours, very respectfully. HENRI C. CAREY. We publish the above in accordance with our usual practice of permitting alt who feel themselvei aggrieved at our remarks, to be heard through the•same medium. We have read the article cartfully,r—reflec red upon the subject.—perhaps score than the writer; and we are only the stronger con- B.Trned in our opinion that such Incorpora tions are not only unnecessary in this region; but would have a withering influence, and would eventually destroy all individual en terpri,r. • We wilt now an s wer the queries as short ly as possible in the true Yankee style; by asking some others. What right have you, as a land-holder, in ask for special privileges not enjoyed by your neighbors ? The Manufacturing law is general, not spc• cia/—it is open to all to embrace its provis= ions if they think proper: Yours is special, and therefore you are getting more than i. granted to Cottos-if not, why ask fora spe cial law ? It will injure individual enterprise; destroy investments, and reduce the value of prop erty generally by opening more mines and producing more Coal than the market requires —although at the same time mdividual inter ests, we admit, may be bentfuted. The value of Our, staple, is ruinously affected by our ability to produce more than the market re quires—and the. prices of labor, property, and business are similarly affected—and therefore neither laborers, mechanics, stove-keepers, or editors would be benefitted generally, lae rwre labor and' value would be dc ...rfroyed than created. The County, it is true aPrer has been injured by the expendinte of the land , holders !—nor has it been much benefitted—because the Masa of them have never invested money in improvements in the County- 7 -bot tfiy trade hasbeen great :y injured by land-holders inducing persons to lease their mines arid erect expensive im provements to mine large quantities of Coal —and then encourage others .to take and open other Collieries on the same property right under their nose, when the market did not require the Coal. This has frequently. been done merely with a view of inng income, regardless of the effeot it Might have'uyon the •investments already trade, knowing that if the operators fail, the provements made 'wouldirture to the land holder's benefit.—ln this manner the trade has been greatly injured, and individuals too --but tux by heavy expenditures made by the land-bolder, On this point I believe we Wee. ' - , . . . So for, individual capital has been more thart aufroeletit for all • *mining - Purpokes in. *hit *Atty.- It lui3oiitotrigltil ill the Coin: pines, both in inalring improveraeats, and ME mining (,iosil in this, Pd ali 011 m region.— Thirteen ` • individual firms in this imsmty mined and sent more Coal to market last year, than all the Coal Companies in the whole Lt424h region, with all their intrest-, meits--tinif With lonv rates of transportation, they it again this year, even under the most disectuniging state of thetrade, Alt we ask is a market with fair prices, and reasonable charges by the transporting Com panies, and .we have abundant means for opening the mines, and carrying on the trade too, without the aid of any Impiovement, or Mining Companies. We have one of these Improvement Com panies in our Region—it is prohibited by its charter from mining and selling Coal— but lei us examine theliperation'of this Com- ; pany. An Agent :opens the mines—and' they areleased to individuals to work. The . President of the Company, residing in New York. engages- in the Coal Trade in his in dividual capacity, while he manages the Comp* in . a corporate capacity. The Sec retary of the Company leases the mines, opens a Store, supplies goods to the men, and sends the Coal, in his individual capacity, to the President of the Company. who sells it in hi's individual capacity also—but as Presided t and Secretary of the Company, they act in a corporate capacity. Is this Compe -1 n y, or is it not, engaged in mining and sel ling Coal ? We leave the public to answer that question. - One thltiflis certain, it has managed to array!all individual operators in deadly hosrility against it. But this is natu ral, because, the two interests' cannot exist togetbef for any great length of time. Such, has invariably been the effect is this region; and all, the Incorporated Coal ° Compotes. that were id existence teu years ago, in.this county, have found it prudent to cease min ing on,their own 'account. Indiiiduals who are not the owners of the of the lands, have already invested between four and five millions of dollars, in opening and improving Collieries—they have develo ped the resources of our region, while the land-holder has expended comparatively but little—to grant special privileges to the land- I , holders now (nearly all of whom are wealthy, and have abundant means at theii command for any legitimate improvements required,) jepardize all this property—in fact to swat low it up, and convert it to their own use, utterly ruining the Collier, would be inflic ting a great injwy, it not direct robbery. Should these Companies be incorporated,, the tracts of land would be. converted stock jobbing concerns— the land would be thrown in at a high value—loans would be obtained—fictitious capital created = mines opened without regard to-the wants of the market—when opened, an Agent hired to' mine under a lease, as an individual—the , 1 Coal must'he sold to keep up the price of; Stocks, whether it pays cost or not—and then, we ask, where would-be the property of the individual operators icho have spent msllitstu ol . ..dollars in opening' their collieries on these lands? And as all these little mo nopolies naturally become the allies of the big odes, how long would inditidual enterprise he tolerated in Schuylkill County? Want of room compels us - to stop here.— We will resume the subject-'next week and take ii the other points in the letter, merely remarking; however, that among the " good and intelligent citizens. " unconnected, with Corporations, we have yet to find the first man in favor of such compadies among us. $1 00 43 25 12} $3OO 5 00 .4 00 3 04) SHE MINERS' JOURNAL:* POTTS,VIL:LE 6ENERAII ADVERTISER.

We are authorised to say that Mr. Taylor will give the third story room of his estab lishment, —rent tree, for one year, for that purpose_ lie wishes the proposition, if concluded upon,made to him as early as possible, as he intends to make other arrangements for the disposition of the room, if his offer is not aecepted. We therefore suggest that those interested in the movement call a meet ing and make the necessary arrangements at once. There is much need for such an Institution in our Borough. It would ho doubt be the means of ac complishing much good, and therefore, the sooner 1 started, the better. Eiery one sees the 'propriety ' of it. Boys who are riow loitering about the cor ners of the streets, or still worse, in the groggeries and ale-shops, with every temptation to vice one immorality in their way, would then have a better and more rational method of spending their time. Books,papers and other reading matter would be fur nished them, and they would be improved both mor tally and intellectually. An intelligent workman at any business will,always command higher wages than an uneducated or ignorant one. We hope some i thing will be done in this matter immediately.— Apprentices themselves should urge the matter.--. An opportunity so favorableto their interests, may ,not occur soon agak ®'Since ihr:above was in type, we learn that the matter a alreadyexciting much interest among the apprentices and other: favorable to the enter prise, and that a meeting will be held next Tnes day evening in the Reading-Room of the Pottsville House, for the 'considendinn AA the object above proposes,. .

Alter a sleep as deep and almost as long its that of Rip Van Winkle„ sharing_ in the revivification of nature, it awakenefff to new life and activity with the buds and blossoms of the last spring.— Wantoning in the excess of its resuscitated' ener gies, it soon ran into an extreme, that proved almost as dangerous to its existence as its former proeound repose. A question was introduced of that class with regard to which Roger De Coverly would have said, "e great deal might be said on both sides,"—sad gave rine to an animated discussion, which continued every night for almost two months. After many rule cob-webs were woven, and many praise: worthy efforts • dissever and divide," Haire "' twist south and south-welt skle." 'Each side .claiming the victory/ the debate and the. Lyceum eased, the former forever—the lattel of tensibly for the winner—hut in the opinion of some. sapient bends, torn longer period. am very happy to , inform you, sir, that the mournful surmises "of the' prophets oesill" have buMn proven. groindless.

Term. 7 --i 2 a.-year, TILE PEOPLE'S ROAD The following is the petition'in circulation, against the Philadelphia and Reading Rail• road 'Company, and in favor of,the new Road. Upwards of 1000 signatures have already been attached to it. Scarcely an individual, except those directly connected with thepres ent Road, refuses to sign it. On this point, the citizens of Schuylkill County appear to be unanimous ;. -To TILE HONORABLE TUE SENATE ANE HOVsE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF TILE COUNIONWEALTIi OF • ItsmsmvAm.4..: ..c.•: / . The Na o/' d.,. Petition litscribrks. Schitigkill Count'', 2 - espret:fullynTresents. That the Coal Trade of Schuylkill County is greatly trammelled by the enorthous taws charged by the Transporting Companies, whose capital (mainly through mismanage merit, and in attempting to exercise an undue control over the trade and the business of the people,) has grown to the enormous sum of About 4trenty-wren millions of dollars, while the same improvements could have been Made, under proper management, for about, ten or tOrelve millions. That the Compa nies persist in taxing, the Trade of this Re gion and the Valley of the Schuylkill, with rates to pay a large dividend on this invest ment, when.it is known that nearly one-half of this capital is not real, but was created by giving dollar bonds for about fifty cents in money. Your petitioners agree that every man who invests money lor tlibenefit of the ' public, ought to : be remunerated and paid a fair dividend on;:the investment—and if the present Rail Road' Company would charged a rate that 'would pay a fair dividend on actual capital, properly and prudently inves ted, and accommodate the public, they would have no right to complain—but when we know that the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company has squandered this mo ney, and now persist in trammelling cthe Trade, Checking the development of our re sources enhancing, the Trice of the necessa ries of life, diminisl)ingtthe value of proper ty, and redurcirig.tne revenues of the Com thonwealth, they consider it their bounden duty, to appeal to the Legislature, who crea ted this Corporation, for redress from their grievances. . id ., Your petitioners wouldalso S t e that -this Corporation has undertaken to distribute its Cars to whorit they please, and those who feel disposed to control the,ir own business, and send thir produCts to market by such avenues as suits their convenience, are great- ly annoyed and harrassed by this Corpttra non, and 'their business ruined and them selves reduced ta beggary. Your petitioners believe that the charter was granted to the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad/Company to construct an improvement • thafShould he open to all who desire to use it, under pro per regulations, with*, , !_fear, favor, or al fection,"—and that it Was not designed to control, trammel, and ruin the business nt those' who think proper to protest ag,:iiust its manitgement and practices, anti choose to send their commodity to market' h' another channel, when it is their interest to do so. Your petitioners would' also represent, 'that the President of the Railroad Company has also engaged in the Coal business, in competition with individitals, and in order to s'ecure trade to the Road, he has thrown that Coal into the market at such rates, that it was impossible for individuals, who had made heavy ' investments in developing the resources of the County, to compete with him in the, market. ' Your petitioners also believe that the pres ent Railroad, with its enormous capital, has degenerated into a mere stock-jobbing con cern•-care but little about the interest of the Trade, if they can only inflate their stock. and compel people to use their Road by in timidation and punish t itefat. Thiiis evident, from the fact that ey boast of their ability to Cady Coal, including wear and tear, at about 63 cents per ton to Philadelphia, and have for the last two-years, charged the enormous rate of $1,70 per ton, knowing that it has been the means of checking the Trade and impoverishing the Coal Region. Your petitioners believe that said Road is under a foreign influence, hostile to the in terest of the Region, this State and the Na tion, and they therefore petition your honor able bodies to grant a charter for the construc tion of a dew Road leading from the Coal Region of Schuylkill Chunty, dowel the Val ley of the Schuylkill, by sucka rout as will hot interfere with present improvements, eannecting with the NorristOwn Railroad, firmly believing that it can be constructed arid equipped for all the purposes of trans portation, for about six million 'dollars ; that by, the time it is completed, the great impe ttla lit will give to the further development of our immense mineral resources, an abun dance of tradewillbe created for the accom niodation of 'all •the avenues to market, at, rites, while",it will, at the same time, curb the , proteations of some of the.most mon strous, daring, and oppressive monopolies ,that has ,ever grown up in the country.— And they will ever-Pray, &c. - ir7Wealth of Pennsylvania.—The follow ing item, taken from the Washington Cor respondence of the Philadelphia Ledger. will .ive an idea of the wealth of oui county : Would you believe that the loin etalwealth of Schuylkill county.
