ABOUT VENTILATION.
Ventilation of Coal Mines is a subject which has
i fsvn very much talked of fonthe last few months.
i but it Seems that it has been more a subject of talk
than action. If more talent had been used m real
practical action, something could have been done
before this, to tv!ieve the dangerous inconveniences.
1 the Miner suffers from the present bad system of
1
I ventilation. In the generality of our Collieries, the.
! truth that the sysibMi is laid has teen clearly exhib.
i itmi ; this summer the most of them h ave b een idl e,
more or less, prom. the dangerous presence of the
i Black Damp. which ought to be and can be reme
i died, and that with a very trilling expense.
ITo show that the present system is not good can
' I • proven.w thout melt tact or talent, by the ob
i it. ,
/ serving Miner, especially by those who are daily en
; gagcd in the business. In the first place the Out-lets
1 are all too small for the cadets. Atter the air has
had to contend, with the Gas, where there is any, if
there is not Gas,? bere is in warty all the Mines pow
der smoke to contend with, both or either of which
tends to expand the air, and, consequently with a
small Out-let its progress is retarded ; and before
the Miner is aware, lie has the same smoke and
bail cur playing on. him again; whereas:•if the
(tut-bet were a little larger and - a good furnace at
tiielied to it the place would almost immediately' be
nil of every obnoxious vapor. In the second place
Theileadings are nearly all too small. Instead of a
slideet square . heading. there is generally a
small place, only !arm enough for a man to get
through, and vet the Whole body of air of the Mine
is ccquired to pass through that small % ape rture—an
ierent.i 9 eneY too paipaple to escape the most ordi
nary observation.
To have better ventilation, there must he a Total
change of, or, at least. many improvements open
the pre.tetit system. This can be effected at a small
raq tomtit Operators and Land-owners. I mention
both. because both are undoubtedly interested.—
For where there is black damp or gas in the places
the Miner is employed, he sometuneS , has to wait
an hour or two until his place gets cleared for him,
and by that time the coal is, scarce for the Loaders,
and the effi...ets of the delay are felt outside, among
all the laborers. The coal does not come out fast
enough to keep the Breaker going and all hands are
thrown partly idle—a pm.i.t that and no incerisidem -
ble loss to the Operator, all caused from bud ven
tilation. There is far more lost in thil way than
would secure good ventilation, and then tnore coal
could be taken out, winch would help to pay any
additional cipense of the new system, so that the
Operator would be greatly the gainer in the end.
There should betwo thuigwayadricen—one main
Gangway for the coal lobe brought from the breasts,
and another c.bout tour yards lower ilown i and of
coutaiernble siae, nay vertu of capit, het wok and
. .
1 five or fix. Met and well, timbered for he air to
trarelbin to the far end 01-the work. It Would an
swer both for the present lift and make a MAI and
ever" return air-way for the lift that shall follow.
It should be of sufficient dimensions to admit the
'Wagons. This plan may be - thought etnen.ive, but
A in reality it will be found both saternnd cheaper.
I ' Let a good vi:lttilationixt cirri Secured„a then
&ow:4 any quantity of coal eau be taken out there is bad ventilation you ran never cal
culate With any certainty upon the amount of. coal
your "trines will produce--how long they will be
worked or how long they may remain idle. With
imperfect ventilation the Miner cannot work - as
freely as if he had good air, besides it injures his
health and shoriens his days. Defective ventilation
is had in every re s pect. The black damp kill--the
Gas scorches the Miners, some to death, and make.;
others unable ever after to follow their callingl—
j Again it'often lays the mines Ale, is a great loss to
I the Operator and?Latl.holder, :%liner and Laborer,
l•tind makes heavy additional ex pen-es to the Opera
, tors in the end. 'There should be furnaces for drift,.,
as - well as for shafts
,and slope,: lb; when we Lave
`cold nathts and warm days the air wilt
,not bl o w

it them was a good furnace, it wcailil rhrety the air
and make it a , cend, quick and steidv, one way all
the tittle. Where there i, gns and the air playing
back and forward, the lives of the Miners are ve:y
~ ,fitucli endangered thereby.
thought something was about to he done le our
M'stile superintendents, but it seems !here is a iireat
laC.k of energy amongst them. iloweeer thew
mast lie a renielly• for the veil, and it must be plan
ned by some ,one. and the soone-r the litter. The
subject should engage the. attention of every citizen
I more or less, for tfeJnisiness of 1111111Ug coal be the
main stay of the ilea:on—let that alai k and who
does not feel the elleet '
Unless -something i, dope to ea-iently ventilate
our Coal mines, 1 seem the (awe the lives of mans
brave Miners at stake, mid als . o the : loss of much
valuable property be explosions, especially in
apart of the coal fiela; for the top or water level
coal will soon all be worked out, and then resource
must be had to shafts or slopes, and in them is felt
more partieulanly the necessuv of good ventilation.
Let our Land-holders and Operators consult With
each other nbout what is necessary to be done, and
let the Land-holder do :Ili. -.hare the work f or

THE PRESIDENI"B MIME.
OE. TIIE L.I.IEENT OF JAMES BUCHANAN.
I love it. I love it; end who shall dare
To chide me for loving the Preside.ufs chair.
Long have I sought it with filmier's sighs;
None ever wished more for a lottery prize.
My heart's chief desire and prayer it has been.;
To worship such idol is surely no sin.
Do you ask me,wny I'd like to sit there?
Because it a VERY La:SU:ABLE cosset !
When Polk occupied it, I lingered near
With watchful eye and attentive ear;
Thinks J, if he wears the Republic's bays,
Can't 1, in turn, make a-similar "raise
If I carefully nute the sicas of the times,
Steering, clear ol such breakers osper dierkdienee,
Even I. though. now but a slate ereeetat re.
Clue day may sit in the President's chair.
Ia Monnment city my friend,* took their mond,
Where I fed them upon the fat of the land;
They pruiped the brandy, applauded the wine,
Deetared that the eatable. all were fine
Uut. though they swallowed my eat! de vie.
1 couldn't per,uade them to stomaelbme,
For in a way that wa, quite unfair
They crugied my chance for the President', chair.
1 , past ! 'Ms past ! but I thud:of:it now
Till deep desperation is sealed on my brov. ,
I cannot, like Cass, ran-c toy thltering. voice,
And time the patty to such to their chalet , '
Nor with indifferentit:o,mm conceal
The pangs of the dm appointmentl feel.
'Tis wound shut time will never reptir,
The loss of my hopcs for the Pre-adent's chair
*From friend,...deliverua.

less—Loss s7so,ono.—The Selkirk settle
ment was visited on the 2d of May with a
flood as great and sweeping as one that fell
years ago. It lasted this time from the
2d of May to the 25th, when it began tole
cede. A letter received
,but a few days since
at St. Pauls , Minesota, describes the specta
cle which was there witnessed:
Twenty-two mileS in length of the colony
are now under water. For a distance of
tour miles the water has spread over the
plain fur six miles on each side of the river,
and in all that distance not a house has es
caped. Loaded boats may be seen sailing on
far her(aid the habitatitins. Of the popula
tion. i.ritift have had to fly before the torrent
and abandon all. The loss of property is al
ready estimated at .£150,0110 sterling.
Horses, cattle, houses, barns, cropKall
were comparatively swept off, and thy4:olony
is almost ruinW. The labor of twenty-six
years is all gone.
fir - ttl ,cml,ToN ()icy.*le thus takes toe
Democracy to task Cur their pretended object
Lions to Military Chic Ons :
They are thetaen who played :he part
of the • hurra boys" to run General
soN int ii)r two successive terms,
his ma &ME, and allowed.him to Z. ,
tale ev dent they ever elected since.
They are the same men who wereso eager
for - MilitaryChieftain to run for the Presi
dencp in ISIB, that they nominated General
TAYLOR without knowing that, he was a
IT/og, and when they couldn't get 0111
Zack, they put two hall way Generals on
their ticket, the best they !could do in that
line, the bran one of there with. a unoKEN
wonn, and both ' of them wouldn't make a
Militia captain. In 1852, they are the same
len who have taken the man they thought
was the best General they have, who hasn't
been ich,pped by the Whigs—his fainting
propensities, on the battle field, to 'the con ira.
y, notwithstanding.".

Who ivould belong to a party, asks the
Independent W/iig, headed by such knaves
as the author of the above disgraceful senti
ment? "SCOTT has servedliis country for 40
years, under every admiMstration, his abili
ties Wing required fiir ate- performance of
some imfiortant duty. His reward is in ltai
mg his great name villainously traduced by
the sainelmen who once called•CLAY a mur

and good man whose departure the whole
country should mourn.

WHI9 ECONOMY AND HONESTY.The Afftional Infrllicrencer, of last week,
contains the important announcement that
the -accounts of the past fiscal year are made
up, and that the expenditure had been redue
ed to S - 45950,000 : and of this sum - 81,867,-
1,39 was !or tedemption of the public debt.
The amount of expenditure last year was
$46,005,000, of, which only $521,265 was
for redemption of public debt. The reduc
tion of the actual ordinary expenditure of
the year tending June 30, 1652, compared
with thai of 1651, has been $3,001,000.
Since thei present administration came into
power there lies been redeemed of the public
debt 612,000.000, due to Mexico, as the bal
ance of the indemnity for- California. and
e 3,250,000 due American citizens under the
treaty with the Government for spoliations.
Upon that portion of the debt, so extinguish
ed, there has beenlpaid $1,900,080 in inter
est. equal s to nearly $500,000 per annum,
which will now nci longer require to be paid.
And' upon -the entire debt left by Mr. Polk
and Democratic supporters and allies,
there has been paid during,The 'same time,
514.081,000. of interest. the surplus in
the TreasUry is Wow just equal to the,amouut
of debt exitinguished : and if the laAs under
which the Democratic borrpWers sagdled this
debt upon the country admitted of it, that
sum could be immediately applied to its ex
tinction, and we should next year have to
pay 5900,000 less of interest than-we shall
be compelled to pay under the operation- of
those laws.
This luminous expose also shows that $lO,-
'151,000 of last years' disbursements consis.
red of expenseS• directly growing out ;of the
Mexican war, and left as a memento by out
lamenret Democratic rulers. in addition to
this sum, it is made to appear that $807,000
of the aggregate expenditure consisted of
items which formed no part of 'the annual
expense of Government during Mr. Polk's
tern olutfice, and whickare theconsequences
of measures forced upon the country by him
and his adherents. The deduction of these
extraordinary charges reduces the current un
avoi4lable ) expenses of the Government, for
Which this administration is responsible, to
528,313,905, This is about what they would
have been' had thePovernmembeen In Whig
hands sinde 18 , 1.1,1 and what . they will be, at
the present rate o , reduction, it Gen. Score
be elected.;
The c 'nice between Gen: SCOTT
and Gen. Pierce t erefore would seem to be
between a 'taxation of TWENTY-EIGHT
and one of FORTY-EIGHT millions a year.

SUPERIORITY ADMITTED.
It has been a bard task for the English to
concede the superiority of American over Brit
ish steamships, of which they had reason to
be proud, let, though long' delayed, here it
is. The LondOn Times ot the 9th instant
has the following :,
"The truth must he told—the British
steamship's have been beaten, and the most ,
rapid passages ever achieved between the.
iI and !new world have been accom-
Tilfslied by! the American steamships. None
but an American steamship has ever yet
ruo from i Liverpool to New Yo'rk and vice
versa, in css than ten days. The average
passages of the Asia and Africa inay, per
haps, nearly equal those of the Pacific, Baltic
and Arctic of the Collins' line, but the
mericans have achieved the positive victory
i speed :Itheir steamers—the Pacific. Balue

gez = Ou the part of the Americans the Con
,- has been carried on at vast cost, and ad
ditional grants from Congreis ostensibly for
the - rriail service, but; in reality, from the na
tional spiv. 91 rivalry, hare only recently
been obtained'io prevent the project from per
'Tithing by reason ot an enormous inequality
between rqceipts and expenditures. On, the
part of the British, while heavy amounts
have been paid by the Exchequer, and a
.large pro4t has been made by the contract
ors; the plessrs. Cunard, the defeat, has
been -accepted only to renew the attempt m
