A Bill liar been ported in the Legislature for the incorporation of a new Rail Road in the West Btanch Valley of the Schuylkill, to ruts. paralle l with the West Branch Rail Road:, We have not seen the bill and there fore know nothing of its general features.--: This project has been agitated for several sears past, by a portion of the Operators in That section of our Coal Regiong and opposed by others. The ostensible grand 4°ll)l:mi nion to the .present _Road . is; that `ii charges too high rates for toll and traosporrition:= The Managers of. the Road contend that these rates are less than those charged on any other Rail Road in the county, and that they have always accommodated :he trade, and can iceommodate all the trsde that of fers. They, alai) contend that it would cot only be unjust,. but destructive to lily and property, to run a rival Road along side of theirs, which must necessarily cross a num ber of its branches, at various points ; and particularly, too, when there exists 110 just ground of complaint against the Road. There is another objection urged against the Mine Hill & Schuylkill Haven Rail Road by the : Operators—and that is the extensity., 01 Branches to more.distant Regions, which Hap. tither Coal in competition with theirs, and that the outlay in constructing these Branches prevents a reduction of the Charges of ininspgrtation on the main branch of,their Road. he law limits thercho 15 percent. dividend—when the receipts. exceed that ninon:, after paying all expinses, and "set ting a renewal fund, ibey,'of coarse, 'are forced to reduce the tolls, &c. The Ope rators contena, that extension nullifies the law and prevents the necessary redaction on the main track of the Road: On the . other ,baud, those who are Cut o,ff from ,the facili 'ties a,ranipc!rtation, are clamorous for these extensions. "The questionAlsciarises whith er ft'yompitny; chartered by the Legislature, -ran atop at any' one point and refuse to ac eommodateother districts, if called, iipori's9 do so 7—and if they do, woubibot the Leg-, islature be justified in incorporating other Roada•to accommodate, them ? There is another point in connection with the subject that is of importance. It is this: A multiplicity of Rail Roads for the trans partition of any given commodity is an evil, unless it cheapen: transportation; If it does -not Cheapen transportation, the tmdele for ced to sustain a much larger investment of Nutt', and Coniequehtly_is injured, and not benefitted. But if-'new RUada , will perma nettly cheapen transportation, then theirmul . tiplieity will be a benefit, not only to the trade, but the public also. Now - suPpose the tnide is divided between two Roads, will the two Roads t9nsport cheaper than the one now does ? '‘Ve will guarantee thzi) they will not, unless the new Road is limi ted, in its charter, to transport for less -than the rates charged by the *sent Road. If the Philadelphia and Reading, ail Road had all the trade fronith s is Region, (and she has facilities fat- aocommoda ling, it all,) she could carry our Conl at from Si 15 to 51 20 per ton, and pay on her capital of $17,000,000: but the trade divided between the, Rail ROad and Canal, and has to support a capi. , tel of 527,000,000, and they charge, by agreement, accordingly about-£1 GO per ton, which'the trade has to sustain.- We have stated the case above, and thrown out a few suggestions bearing on this 'ques-` lion, which we think worthy of considera tion ; and would remark that 'our columns are open both pro and con on this, as they are on all questionsconnected with the inter ests of this Region. - G.ENERAI'MINING LAI4 Governor BIGLER, in his recent Message, recommends the passage of a General Mining, Law, and the Committee, appointed by the Governor to revise the tax and other laws, has brought in a - Bill for the purpose of en acting a General La,w for Mining purposes. General Laws are not so liable to objection st:s spatial laws—but the business embraced in a General laW, may be placed in such a position as to make even such laws de structive of the rights and privileges of the einzen and destroy his individual investment". tbia County the Mining Business is carri ed on entirely by individuals—they have in- Tested millions of dollars on property belong ing to others-- t hey desire nu act of Incorpo-, ration special, or general—the one would be ;lust as destructive to. their interests as the other—their investments cannot - be thrown into a Corporation, without becoming the nitre Agents, of the landholders—they have nothing to incorporate separate from the land, and the land they do not own, and can not purchase—hence all these investments would be at the mercy of the landholder and the corporator. It would result in no ad: vantage, but a direct injury, to all the citizen' 01 , the county; except the mere gambler in stocks and reckless speculator, who in nine instances out of ten would reside abroad, and whose whole motive would be to throw his lands into a Company and Issue tteiceits value in stock-:-sell. the stock,: pocket the money, and then an Agent or two trillbe op pointed, who will reside in Schuylkitl/Conn ty to carry on the business—set up his Store at the Mines—force the hands, ;Through' a, combination of corpomMrs, to submit to his l terms and take orders on the . Store—then farewell to that business activity which cha. winterize and distinguishes Schuylkill Coun ty from all-other regions engaged in the . Coal trade where Corporations exist. • So far we have not conversed with atin gle Operator that is not opposed to this law. Every property-holder . in s the , County, and particularly' in the towns, is deeply interes ted in the subject. We would, therefore, ling .gest meetings of the Coal Operators and the people in all the districts of the County, 'to be called at-once, to consult together, and if necessary, to remonstrate against the pas sage of this Bill, at least so tar as Schuylkill County is concerned. It other counties desire Corporations: let ihem have them—but let Schuylkill .lone— and 'woe unto those who dare betray her in dividnal interests and prosperity merely to otivence'pritme speculations. f NEW COUNTIES The people of 'Tamaqua, at a meeting decided - to call the proposed New County 4 ! Anthracite," _instead •of "Jackson." W learn, privately, that at ' least half of the peo ple of Tamaqua are opposeCto the project, and that remonstrances are being circulated in opposition to the measure. There are some queer reports about this business.' It is alledged that certain Locofocos, who quiet ly pledged themselves at the last Presiden tial election, not to oppose the County of Penn, in order to secure votes for General Pierce, - are active in urging, undir cover, the new County of Anthracite, in order to _defeat -the County of Penn, which they. Want kill ed,.but dare not tote pound openly against - it. Politica does sometimes convert men into queer human beings. •-• Our impression is that if a fair and un itammelled vote was takes in the territories , embraced to both the proposed co . uoties,.a majority of the people would be 'found nglittst any division of the County. .

January ;7, 1553. QITICK WORK Some men'smiuds grasp a subject as if Atituition, and they accomplish great ob jects, while others ate only thinking about them. Such' men must necessary wield a powerful influence, and if placed in public positions they impart a large portion of that go-altraditiveness to tholie connected with, and around them. They are the men of the age, and sure . to leave their mark on every thing they are connected with. We were led to these remarks by reading the folloying from the local column of the Ledger: • The handsome manakin of Mr. Jol n Tuck. 4 er, President Reading Rail Road Co., is on the township line, in Penn township. It is Constructed of red sandstone, froth Brook's quarry.

" ROYAL ROADS.TO LEARNING." One of the most difficultproblema which the teacher In: any branch of instruction hi's to- - encounter, - is to decide how far he 'shall teach—to hit the exact medium between ma. king the path of the learner too rugged and too easy. On' the one hand. it is evident, he shoufd not run into -the extreme of coddling. internating the mental fibres of the pupil by destroying al the labor of every process, nor on-the other hand should he heap too many difficulties and trials upon his shoulders so as to discouiage him and break down his strength.- Formerly the steep' and' rugged path was thought the best one for the learn er to folloW.. 'fhe teachers of the olden time had "no opinion" of the royal roads to learn ing, and science-made.easy . modes of cultiva tion. That the youthful spirit revolts against severe study they knew full well ; bu; they knew that it is only br hard , study that intel lectual strength can he gained. ••They were conscious that no knowledge was so value. ble as ;hat which a 'than acquires for 'him sell—and that it.is by such acquisitions only that the mind is disciplined, and cot by what is poured into-it as a passive recipient. The old-way of teaching txiysto swim, was to plunge them headlong 'into the water.and let them struggle for their lives ;". but now thiy are 'buoyed up with cork jackets and life.pieservers, OT are caught by _friends the moment they duck their faces; and are even taught the theory of swimming - beforehand. . Plausible as this may seem in theory, we believe the . old practice was the best one.— It is not by treading the " primrose path of dalliance," but by climbing the craggy steeps schOlarship, that intellectual athletes are reared.' It not in a hot.holase or the well sheltered garden, but on the Alpine cliff, where- . the storm ,bowls mostlunously that the toughest plants are found. Till the laws of moral being are changed, no flu:rough ed ucation can be. acquired except by intense toil, and perpetual grapplings with diffiChlty: and' ea the strain mast come at some time to life, the queitioa is only 'whether it shall be difftised over veers of laborious education, or be accimulated upon the occasions of future effort. :Better, to our opinion, that this drudgery should be gone through once fort all, in wit years, than be all one's life sere., -ing an apprenticeship. It is a .griat mis take to suppose . that the obstacles whiCh 'a scholar meets in his -path area curse.— " Difficulty."„ says the itagacions Parke. " iq a severe instructor, set over us buthe stt , preme ordinance of a:patertuil guardian and legislator, who knowi us better than we know ourselves. as hejoves us better, too.—. He- that wrestles - with us strengthens our sinews, and sharpens our skill—our antag onist- ill ' our keeper." There 'is world of meaning in this brief quotation, and we cam pead it to those who advocate" royal wads to learning." and think it better that the stn. dent should be carried up the hill - of science m a go-cart, than plod up wearily by his own slow and painful, but disciplinary sup.' —trestle* Blade. [Fiat edo iimassrems Gioic) TOE TROVALEB OF A TEACHER. THE FAtILTB OF PaMM'S. Every profession or pursuit, is intended with more atlas difficulty. The minister is censured for not always preaching good sermons—the doctor for not curing all his pa tients—and the lawyer for not gaming all his suits. But the School Teacher, a whole col umn would fail to contain a catalogue of his evil doings. Milortuately for him he never does anything right. lie either „ takes up " too late. and " lets out " too soon, or he " takes ap"•ion soon, and " keeps in" too late. He is sure to whip too mach, or else too little, too bard iir not hard enough.. He punishes with the rod when he should use the ruler—and the ruler when the rod should be used—and his rod is uniformly too long, and his ferule too heavy. He gives too many lessons, and he don't give enough—he devotes all his time to the larger scholars, and neglects the smaller ones—and again the" smaller scholars receive all his attention, and the larger ones are neglected. Hem too familiar with his scholars, sad at the same time too reserved. This antipathy to teachers appears heredi- I tarp with some people; they pick and I find fault with them because their fathers ; and grandmother:Shave done so. "Old things have passecisaway" with respect to other Thing's, but not so with this : they have quit :drinking whiskey and horse-racing they no loogergo to mill with a stone in one end of the tin for a ballast ; yet they adhere to this old stereotype antiquated practice with a fi - I delay worthy a nobler cause. The people who fi nd fault with, and corn ! plain of the Teacher, are those who never visit the school-room, and consequently know , nothing of the Teacher's conduct in school. This is a prevalent evil in many school dis tricts ; it is a rare thing for either a parent or friend to pay a visit to the teacher. Some times the Director calls in once during the term, and very often he don't, just es it may happen. People thus show their children I and their Teacher that they feel but little in terest in their advancement and success.— The farmer will not trust the cultivation of his farm to his tenant without his over-sight —neither will the mechanic allow the jour neyman to have the entire control of his shop—they see and know for themselves how their business is attended to. But the teacher may toil on at his arduous and im portant task. unseen, uncared for, and un known in the place he should be known.— Now these things should not be. The teach er's tack is a difficult one ; and be should have the hearty co-operation of parents in carrying out such measures as he may adopt for the advancement of his pupils; but in stead of this parents are among the first to object to, and oppose the very best plans which the teacher can devise to forward the pupils in their studies. Teachers of experi ence will sustain me in the assertion that it is a rare thing to find an unmanagable law- breaking pupil who is not encouraged to do so, or at least allowed by his parents. Chil dren believe, of course, that their parents know everything best, and when they hear them complain of and condemn the laws of the teacher, they think they are doing right when they disobey and break them. Some I parents - enquire of their children whether they were punished, and what, it was for I In, such cases children will very naturally make themselves out innocent, and the pa '.rent will censure the teacher for his cruelty, and thus make the child really, believe he was punished wantonly, and resolve to corn ; mii • the same offence ,again.

REPORT„ Of the Board of Manager: to the Storkholders of the Mitre Hill and Setruill-ill Haven Railroad Company. at their Annual ltlesting,,Jantiary 10th, 18a. To the Steekbolderi of the Mine Hill and Schuyl kill Haien Rail Road Company, the Managers pr• sent thew Twenty-Fourth Annual Report; exhale fling their transactions during the year lIIICia. In every department of the company'e affairs the 1 year just elated has titian a petted of remarkable , activity. i .. i The rapid expansion of the coal trade during pot : tiOtift of the year, required a corresponding increase i in the .number of Locomotive Engines to be used in tut tnuisportation, and this again has produced a I necessity for extensive additions to the Depots and Machine-shops. . a - Three'new Engines of a heavy class, with boil. e'ere adapted to the use of anthracite, Were p1..1 I upon the-mad as early to the season as tbey conld I be obtained, soil one of the Engines berms in WO l was reconstructed with improvements, making it more effective and powerful than when new. i Arrangements are now In progreei for making a i similar additionio the motive power early in the t,present year, so as to insure ample preparation for I all increase of baseness that can reasonably be ex- Pirled- A" new building for en Engine Depot, one bun. ' dried 'and forty text square, eoataining stalls for, twenty s zfour Engines and centre pivot tor ecranect ; ins all thei,inteks, has been put under contritet,w,ith ; the expectation of hxving it ready for Use in a few I weeks; on the completion of thut,lthe lirge build ! ing now used as a Depot will be appreriated as an i extension ot the: Machine-shop, 'trepan. of En gines. 1 In pursuance of 'the system adopted tour )'ears ago for the gradual rectification of the cursed per -1 tina section on the main line, about an isne n :an o l d . f . t a g he tud u c :f m d : t ile m s in t h l e engt hzi h t ,h et a e ii r been ofth r e es c l o ck u tta n t t e4 y u fi psn nis nn bc4 a and Pe rm t hi t e m : us tb e e k g w rad in ing sii o o t n t l h y ii w 4 s n la o id w d n o e c a y r n t ' improved plan recently perfeetetwheneby the sta. billty of the rails at the joints fill be greatly in : creased, and an important advantage gained as re ; gaols permanency and freely. On the new lateral to Middle Creels reported as \ s l having been ecunmenced a short time fore the last annual meeting,.the principa l i. part of he grad- 1 mg is done, and the work of ving track`as pro- gressmg so as to have the whole ready for se as soon as it will be needed. i An application was received early in the yearior ; another lateral road to penetrate a cent basin lie - tofore untouched by the miner, lying on the broad : table land formed by the junction of Broad Moen- , lain, Peaked Mountain and Mine Hill. The appli. ' ; cation was accompanied with e proffer from the landowners to guarantee tonnage enough to pay le- I i gal interest on the cost of construction. An ex- I aminntion of the district was directed and careful.' I lv made ; from which it has been ascertained that i it may be reached by laterals from tyro pointa ; one i on' the West Brunch, the Ether at the head of the t , main line. Surveys of Ideation since made on both routes, show, that the one front the West ~ West Brunch would reach the coal wort:lngo an the shorter distance, but would require an inclined , plane with reciprocating machinery on the south- . ern slope of the mountain ; and that the road can 1 nu be made i the other route with ruguiar gradients , 1 . suitable for Locomotives. The latter ha+ cone.l quently been adopted, being in the opinion of the engineers most for the advantage of the colliers not- withstanding its greater length and cost. The dis tance by this line from the present head of the road will Ins aliout therein! three-fourths miles. To de fray the cost of this lateral and provide for the ad ditional motive power required, it has been deci ded to sell two thousand shares of the new stock authorized by the supplement of April 7th, 1819, to he distributed and paid for in accordance with the resolutions of fitsith of September last, to which the assent of the stockholders has been duly 'lglu fled, and an allotment made accordingly. After much careful investigation the Board has at length been able to bring to a practical conch]. awn, the long agitated question of the proposed ex tension scrota Broad Mountain into the alahanoy Valley. As this project was considered to be the most important that has ever engaged - the attention of the Company, it has been the desire of the Board : to fortify Its judgment by the possession of copious ! and accurate information relative to the topography and reseurces of the rugged district over which the road must necessarily be carried. Much time and labor have consequently been devoted to the col lection of all attainable, date, by consulting the re i cords of former expeditions, three of which are known to have been made, and by directing more elaborate surveys to be made by engineers of well t known ability;and experience. The first of the surveys under direction of the ' Board, was made, as is already known to many of the stockholders, by Mr S. W. Roberts. in 1648, ' when het was actively engaged with a large engi• neerma corps for rearly four months; in which ' time fines of exploration were run to an aggregate length of one hundred and Line miles, and the re sults accurately plotted on a large scale with all details of the topography earettilly worked in. A later survey has been in progress for more than eight months of the pant year, by a still more nitineroirs party, under the direction 01 Mr. Ed ward F.liay, by whom additional lines of location have been staked out to the extent of nearly two hundred miles; which in conjunction with the sur vey of Mr. Roberts, and those previously made by I other engineers whose rev:tits have been placed in I cur possession, cover most completely this moue lain.regnon with n reticulation ot definite lines ac- Mall?: liwaterl on the ground, that mark with great partieularity.its-entire lopogruphical features. A caret al comparison ot all these different lines hai • deinoustrated that the route originally located front the head of our main road near Coal Castle, passing through the point of Peaked Mountain, thence ascending to the summit of Broad Mountain at the head of Reuling Run, and descending throlt I the gap of that stream to the Mahoney, is better adapted for the transit of tire mineral products of this regien,.as well as for the eventual construction of an unbroken through line, without inclined plans's, leading towards the iunctlon of the two great branch.:' of the Susimehaima, than any other known route that can reach that important point. The great superiority of this over nil other -routes previously suggested for connecting the Schuylkill melon with the forks of the Sie.iptelianna, has be come much more apparent since the completion el ode latest survey. than it was id the time of the general meeting of the Company. convened in Sep tember, for the considerations of the supplement giving authority lbr constructing the road. Notwithstanding the incompleteness of the stir. ' vey at that time, a sudieleatly favorable case w as exhibited to justify the decision theft arrived at. to accept the law and proceed to carry its provisions into effete, and the final results of the iturvevs eon 'firm tne wopriety of that decision. Under these encouragir.g circumstances the Board ha 4 proceeded steadily in all the usedfu' pre. Memory measures for carrying into elect the wish es of the stockholders as expressed at their Into meeting ; and has the gratification of announcing the final location and letting of all the sections of the line, at fair prices. to several contractors se lected from a large number of competing bidders for the work, in whose ability to push it. forward with energy and skill, there in reason to pace eve ry reliance. The bids received Were much more numerous than had been anticipated, the number (-oilmen tors being about tiftv,and of persons to whom work has been awarded 'fifteen, divided into eight separ ate companies or co-partnerships. It may reasonably Le anticipated that this road when finished will be of incalculable importance to the prosperitv of Pottsville, Minersville and Schuyl kill Ilaven,ruid indeed of this entire mining district, as well as of that beyond the Broad Mountain, for it will bring their teeming population of consumers of farm and forest productions into immediate com munication with the ram regions of fertile farms And primitive forest? , lying to the north and west, kept hitherto almost inaccessible for all purposes of connecting supply and demand, by the formidable barrier which our road is designed to surmount. By the route adopted the diStance from the head of our present road to Ashland will be übout twelve miles, and thence to the proposed terminus near the. forks of Mine Run near two miles more. There will be no Inclined planes between the valley of the Schuylkill and the summit of Broad Mountain ; that point being attained,by regular gra dients. in favor Of the trade, suitable for the use of Locom.give power. In'the valley of the Mahanoy tho grades are equally or more favorable, leaving only two mues of road on which the continuity of travel will be interrupted. On these two miles the . entire elevation of Broad Alountain will be sur mounted by means of stationary power or inclined planes located to the ravine of Rattling Bun, which will be so arranged as to allow the loaded cars' hauled up, to run by gravity from the. head of the lower plane to the foot of that above, the returning empty cars being , drawn from plane to plane by machinery connected with the stationary engines; thus avoiding the necessity of intermediate power between the places. Provisions to made for defraying the cost of the .work by the issue'of new stock under the provis ions of the supplement of March last; the instal ments on which' become due at such intervals as wilt postpone the final payment, and issuing of the certuacates to the period prescribed by the law According to the Collector's returns the net ton nage of coal that has passed the scales during the year, to bne million twelve thousand one hundred and seventy-nine six-twentieth tons, of two thou sand two hundred and forty pounds. The quantity of other merchandise is thirteen thousand and forty two tons, Of the coal tonnage the proportions eon tributed by the different branches and laterals is eshilmed in table (E) of the appendix. The pecuniary receipts on this trade and from passengers have been as follows: Tolls on coal. one hundred and forty-four thous and eight hundred and three di:diens and eighty eight cents. Charge for. motive power, one hundred and six thousand one hundred and eighteen dollars and Pi; cults_ From passenger, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-four dollars and thirty-four cents. Total. two hundrest'and rifty-sot thousand seven hundred and forty dollars and eighty-tour cents. The cost of currying ihe shove traffic and main laming the 'machinery and road with their appurte nances has been : Total expentaa Atotive power deport- • meat, Currant expenws of Rail Road, do Eapen•es in Phila. for salaries; rant, Mica expenses and incidentals, 0,003 86 Interest on instalments, on act, new stock, Iron rails and spikes for repairs, Oftbe above expenses, those incurred in run ning Engines and maintaining them, and for such proportions of the repairs, keeping up and main' tainingin good,order the buildings, road, and - ma. chinery as are properly chargeable to the motive power, are esteemed to be derived from the motive power charges on coal; and our experience through the paint, shows that the ch a rges amjustadeluetothepe r ane l ace tL mem of these objects; leaving the receipts-from tolls to be used as the - fund- out of which miay be paid the cost of reps inng and maintaining the road way, and other necessary expenses thereto appur tenant, and the profits legally divisible among the stockholders. Deducting from the grow receipts for tolls, the amount of there items of current expenses and the lawful dividend payable to the stockholders, leaves a. surplus of profit on the banner', of the year *meowing to near twelve thousand dollars; which bum the Biwnl has decided to apply to the reduc floe of tolls, by making distribution -of tit among the operators in proportion to their rusidective pity merits of tolls on coal during that period.

Thom liberal concessions will add to the an knowledged advantages already enjoyed by the'col tiers operating in our section of the coalregion; and by enabling them to compete still more suc cenfullv with the rivalry of other districts, will probably stimulate to such augmented activity or uur trade as may accelerate the general and per. manein rixloction of tolls to the minimum rates so much desired.

If all that is represented of the virtues of this machine, be true, it will be a great sequin. tion to this region, and will not only quick en. but greatly cheapen the expense's of sink- ing shafts to our coal measures. With the l. present machine iltey are, boring hole or shalt 41. inches inches in diameter, and have gone through a •hard clayey soil, termed !

The "hot-air storm" has passed oft, and a dead calm- seems to have followed it. It turns out after all the fuss,that the discovery; is nothing new. The Scientific Amcrtcaai' states that the Rev. Dr. Robert Sterling. a Scotch Presbyterian clergyman, took out a' : fatent, in Scotland, as early as 1827, fur a hot air engine on the same principle. In't, 1840 he took out a patent for an improve- nient on it, which was described, at the time, in the London Mechanic', Advocate, col. 4, pages 229 and 210, and in the- Dun dee Advertiser of October 1841, as follows : -it to now wort:ingot the Dundee Foundry,ts au• perior to the steam engine, saves a greet deal of fuel, and for the ptirixues of navy:gallon it is inval uable." • • • Of the heat °ornate. nicated to the air froth the furnaces, a very wall portion is lost, for by making the air, in its way, from the het to the cold end.of the air vessel, pass; through a chamber divided into a number of small aperture., the great eaten; of surface with this hot air extracts the heat temporarily, end !realest it to the cold :ligain on its pe.sage back from the cold to the hot and of the vessel. " - It also says: ." to reterenees to the purposes of navigation, this,' I invention must lead to extraordinary results, ands -will render a voyage to India round the Cape, Otimehniery, • matter of perfectly easy aceomplish-i I meat.' ) 14ther descriptions of the engine, at ihati • timis, were as follows : " Thq principie of the engine's operation to ansf.! ogeous to that of a respirator: The conducting: power of\ the metals anartatiely ebeorb and gives! out the caloric." • • • "In en wile patent (1827; his iirst,) he had specified the entitle ment of the respirator, Intending tb use a serum of perforated plarca,or wire eaure." - The same paper. states that in the steam' - engine, for every\l72B cubicleet of steam, its only requires one adac fieot of cold wateited into the boiler.

It is Faid to be more tale than the "Aliali;i Steam Engine ; but *hen did we ever h of a steamship using low pressure steam' bursting her boiler. The steam engine is a.\ \ safe machine, under thesharge of good men : , . • and so is a chip without steam or hot air, hui not otherwise. We would welcome hot air, as a supenor and more economical motive power to steam; if it were really so, but it is not. The same, amount ot fuel applied to a boiler to produce steam from water, will-produce a greater me: chanical effect than if applied to air, which is a very bad conductor and absorbs heat so slow, ly that it must always be sluggish in its too; lion. A steam engine - can be built—boilers and all, which will give out triple the power of the Caloric Engines to the main shaft, and occupy less room. The combustion ot fuel in the Caloric Ship is very perfect, and deserves credit,but the amount of leakage must be very great every stroke. as a portion of the fed air .must alway s be lost, and it will be very diffi cult to keep the pistons air-tight. We there tore cannot have any other belief than that the 'Caloric Ship Ericson' will not be successful.'; w'rcirrsx tort TITS MINERS' .10r4NAt. 1 January 15th, 182 if. BANNAN, Ems.: Dear Sir—Before pro ! cecding farther iu regard to ridding mines of the gasses already mentioned, and to pro-, duce the required ventila tion:k mai; be well to mention some of the moans that have been proposed to destroy the effect of those gas l sex, and how far they have been successful. The carburetted hydrogen gas has, fai many 'years, tind in. some mines is at this day, fired to get rid of it in the mine: this practice is dangerous in the extreme, not only es regards the lives of those uridertak:- ing such a task, hut also runs a great risk iii setting fire to the timber and coal, which would take place under certain mixtures of the gas, and it would, in many cases. be possible for the workman to preveat it, eyed at the risk of his life. Another method of destroying fire damp. is by hanging what is called "eternal lamps " at the top of the workings where it - collected—the lampS burned it as fast as produced—but the evil was not remedied. on accouu: of the large quantity of Carbonic acid, or Black-Aamp, this method produced. A composition of platen is and clay, placed at points Where the fire damp collected, has been made use of: but tios,..tts?, only substituted one dam , ger for others equally bad. Sir 1!. Davy, in his experiments on the inflammable air of coal mines, found that the explosive poweri of fire damp were diminished by a mixture of note, or nitrogen. and carbonic, acid es', to seven of an explosive mixture, prevented explosion ; and one measure-of nitrogen, to six of an explosive mixture,prevented expic4 axon ; he therefore proposed that a charcoal fire might be placed in the mine, where the gas reached an explosive mixture. from es. periments he had made, he found that heal ed charcoal would not explode an explosive mixture of carboretted hydrogen, and conse quently tins proposition to rid the mine of I the explosive mixture, by producingcarbonie acid gas with the charccial fire, to destroy it; but he probably overlooked the fact that , the gas thus produced was -very destructive Itq health, and from its greater specific gravitt much more difficult to move out of the mitre, Other schemes have been proposed, but-n? practical means have yet been - found ky which the inflammable atr in mines can be destroyed ; - rind in order that those mines producing fire damp may not be closed uP', other means have been sought by which they could be kept comparatively safe; gook, thorough ventilation, and a lamp so con structed as to burnin an explosive snizture, without danger, are the only means now Bought after.. Carbonic acid gas is Sometimes disengaged in coal mines, spontaneously, in.large quan tities in a short time, and where it is prey alent, as, for instance. at the raOst of a gang 4, way, it can, generally, with.a little trouble, be removed. The methods either for this or sulphuretted hydrogen gas, is by maktn,g a solution of ammonia, caustic potash, or quick-lime. then putting it into a watering pot, or what would be still better, a small force-pump, with a rose" at the end of the pipe, to force the solution, and 'at the same time spread it over as large an area as possf hie where the gas is situated : this is the method generally used. But therinost. tual way is by a blast of ateam. l This gas is rapidly absorbed by steam, and in s itua4 Lions where a small pipe from a steam boilei eon be carried into a abaft, or other place where carbonic acid gas has accumulated.' the whole would be cleated tu - a very few: minutes. Of the dangers to which miners are suli4 ject in a mine where carbon ie acid gas is found; and the increased danger when mixed with! nitrogen, I _quote the following from the re..l poll of the South Shields (England) commit.; • tee on incidents in coal mines, (1843.)—i "That as the tamps are instantaneously ertinl /pushed where carbonic acid is abundanti and burn with a dull red flame as they 3 proach its confines; then, on the indiCations., the Firmer is warned immediately to retire , al: ftlate is here extinguished before life; W. when there is is large admature of nitrogen. the lamp continues to horn, as in sulphurate4 kydrogmeren when the miner is struck down. We being in the latter case e.rtingtushed before e.lnstatices of this kind are recorded as haring occurred in the North or England mines. G. R.
