the usual per centage eras allnued io'

That letter reads thus:

: Now, which. is right or which mistaken
Here are the statements of both sides, oue say
ing 11.3 - i
Mr:. %Yt(•on, the new 'clerk, keew
, .
nothing about _the percentage—nothing of
the kind appearing, on the cheek rolls coining
into his hands -; while Mr. Rea as positively
as , crts that he himself made out the accounts
fOr December and January, and added the
usual percentage ; and both parties quote
Mr. Wilder,, acting under instructions
from the company, as authority for these op
posite itateMents. There is certainly some
mistake or misunderstanding• in the matter
some#here—at whose door to lay it, how•
ever, we leave for others to determine. •
As we have before stated, our only object
in this matter, from the beginning, was to
present a truthful account of it-to the public;
and in - so doing we were incidentally drawn
into a defence of Mr. Wilder, because we
thought he had been grossly misrepresented
end unjusilymiarked by certain outside pSr•
ties—and we think so yet. We Anew That
Me. - Dix° iq personally hostile toward Mr
W., and it we did not, - the article, tn. thcße
:titer before alluded to would lease us DO
donator it. A writer; who could thus, un
challenged, pen the grossest charges against
a gentleman, could be prompted only by the
bitterest personal enmity and the dominant
passions of a malicious disposition.
For the information of the public in 3C-
tordance,with ourdoty„ as a Journalist, -we
ripened our cofunins to whatever was offer
ed for.pablication on the subject - aricr, r heard
from various sources what tras represented
to he a straight fartoont of the whole diffi
culty, corroborated, as it afterwirds was, by
the manner in which the trouble was set
- tied. All this we published and'drev: our
Own inferences therefrom—nod natural
ones they were. every unprejudiced Mind
must admit,:witli the giyen data belore us.
This letter of Mr. Bishop and others ;aboye,
noel gives an entirely different version of
the whole affair, and irlielieved in opposi.
- lion to the previous statement thattle dif
ficulty grew out of a misapprehension on the
part—of the men, ary corroborated by Mr.
Sea's letter and their, subsequent ready return
to work, on the assurance ot n pmper-eorrec
tioD of the - mistake,by Mr. Cress.ozi;lhen
different conclusions necessarily follow; but
.before we make we want to know which
'l . statement Is correct and reliable. .
t There iiessdently some mistake is to Mr.
lin:urge or
.meaning. But
waib
ing that for the present, and admitting.that
he did lay all the communications-114re at
tribute 15 him, was, it a judicious snore, f ,,6
. the part of the Men. to "turn out" beloie
Tainting the President or other proper ofri

Then, and not till then, if refused, was the
time to "strike." 'Besides. they certainly
knew, or at least they ought to knoiv, that
co company'or o . llivtdrial can change the es-.
tablished wages of their employees without
giving dne notice of the - same, or if such au.
thority is assumed, the latter have the on•
questionable right to recover at law what.
ever has thus-been unfairly= withheld.
As to the merits ofthis particular ••strike:"
we do not now undertake, nor have we at
any time before assumed, to determine them.
Loo . gago 're laid down the broad princt
de, which we still believe to be the true
and only relative tie between the employer
and the empkled—that ttie panics are mu
tually interested in the making, as well as the
stibsequem lulfilenentl,l4 the Contract between
them;and that one has as equal eight with
the other to refuse its eanditiors 'anti to de
termine for themselve. and - atuotig, thein
selves" what wages they will give or what
they. will take. This is but - reasonable and
coffacqueutly right.. It-is, moreover, the ul
timatum of-our strictures on the late &Tient
ty in question, and any inference contrary
or in any way different is -a wilful-perlrer."

AGAINST THE MINING'I.AII,
11'4,2t E 1-.
. _
That individual enterprise alone is suffici
ent to carry on the Mining business of this
Region is abundantly proven by reference-to
the stati.ties of the Trade. Of the whole
amount-- of Coal sent to market lari= year,
(3852,) Schbyllrill County alone furnished
more than one-half—thus:

'• other Regions, 17,413,1:31
It will, moreover, be foirad by comparing
the operations of this with other Regions
worked with Corporate privileges, that with
the same amounfof cipital and equal facili•
ties, individual enter-prise will mine
of Coal to every WO' cot nut I.y a Corpora
tion. '

So much for the alleged necessity ol Mill
ing Corporations in this County, urged by
certain- interested patties at Harrisburg.
During the whole period of twenty-odd
years, since the first opening tit the Trade
In this Region, there has never been a time
rvith the solitary, accidPorat, exception ol uar
year, that our ability to Mille coal has not
exceeded the demand ; and for last ten
yOars our operations have not been worked
to their full capacity, on that account.
Should-,this Bill. unfortunately pass, con
trary
to the known_ tcishes of our citizens,
and in the face of our most urgent remon
strances, they should unite, as one man, in
defence of their rights. Let no opportuniq
pass unimpro.vec to eapase the speculations
of the Company carrying it into ellret to
lay bare its false-pretentious, by showing up
its.crdsdiate with its little spot of foal land,
audio open the cp.; of its tent - 1,14.e dupes.
In such an event, the peCiplii should, and
they will, rise, a, one man; and urge Repeal
and Reform. Dropping all other Atstiortion
of party or Wtional differences:they will
choose their Representatives lo.realter with
this sole end in view, and every energy will
be strained to secure thetivertarning of such
an obnoxious LaW, fin this County, and to
teach Cormuratit speculators a lesson
they will not soon forget. rt
We repeat,—we have r iff. iiibjections to oth
er Regions, enjoying thsq . ull benefits of the
Law, if they wain it. But, a, for Schuylkill
County, individual enterprise alone has pros
cd itself, indisputably, adequate to out Buhl.
ness, and the people. want !lb Coal Corpora—
tions in their midst. The extension ot the Law
us is now urged mostly by speculators
abroad—men owning _land, ; perhaps, in the
outskirts of the Regitin, but 'vho are not en.-
gaged directly in mining coal: while our Op
erators—those who are actively employed in •
the business, spending their time, labor and
money for its .pro . secution and development,
they;to a man, oppose it and are daily us
ing every possitilt. retuonstraoce against the
passage of the Bill. . .

YOUTHFUL. DEPRAVITY
- Sarah Smith, a colored servant 13-14 years
old, in the family of Mr. Pennock,. of Ches
ter county, attempted the life of his little
daughter no only child, about five years of
age, last week, by haoging. When discov
ered some hours after the horrible — deed, the
chid was barely alive and by assiduous at-
Lennon finally recovered. When sufficiently
corTialeseenr, she told of her treatment by
the t girl, who, though stoutly deny
ing the child. story at first, at length - con
fessed to its entire truth. No motive a as
signed for the inhuman act except the promp
ting" of a vicious spirit. Mr. Pennock once
lost an interesting little son under mysteri
ous circumstances, and his death is now at
tributed to the same agency, and by the same
mans. Some of his outbuildings were at
one time set fire to,, other more valuable pro
perty barely escaping destruction; and the
suspicion of this also attaches to the girl.

SPECIE—IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.
An article in the last number of the Met
hane. Magazine, 'furnishes some interesting
information in relation- to the imports and
exports of specie for the last thirty-two years.
It appears that from the year 1821, to the
close of- the fiscal year 1847-'49:the entire
import offoreign coin, and bulltoo into purl
Union, amounted to 8252,14841, and the
export of the Caine during that period, reach
ed 8180,462,406. In these twenty-eight
years there was accordingly, a balance re
maining to our chest, of 816,607,496. This
was the foreteb accretion alone : while from
our domestic production of the precious met
als, our mints received, in round numbers.
820.000,000 ; so that our total increase of
specie, from both sources, was $82,000,00tr
or about 83,000,000 per year.
From the fiscal year 1848-'9 to the pres
ent time, the imports of forergn precious me
tals, in cum and hulliou, were 824, 0 00,000,
while the (151111118 C production is given, ac
cording to coinage, at 8189,900.000, the sum
of $85,000,1 1 00, which we have exported, and
we find that in" four years and a half, our
specie currency has actually gained 82:1,000.-
0m each year, or a grand ionituf .8104,000,-

British elections, even at this hour of the
century, are apt to be savage affairs. The
London Tim's. in viewing some of the evi
dence as to the prevalent practices, says:
" A Lancashire farmer had received an or
der for three hundred fighting men to do the
rough work of the election, with the instruc
tion 'that the best fighting - men and poachers
would he preferred.' At the ' Craven Heif
er,' on the nomination day, and fur some
days before. two thousand men ate and drank
as touch rind as fast as the landlord could
supply them. They were introduced in par
ties, with orders from known friends of the
cause, which cause or what cause it matters
not to inquire. About one hundred of them
had bludgeons."_
(1.7- Model Seholar.—At the annual exam
ination of the Model- School at West New
ton, Mass.,• on Friday, it was stated by the
principal, Mr. Allen, that one of his pupils
had been connected with the school five years,
during which tune he had not once been ab
sent or tardy. Such an example is worthy of
imitation.

places oped on Sunday, contrary to the ordi

poison is sold and drunk, is 6575.

We copy the tullowing interesting article

the World's Fair, last year:
Pit coal, which is now raised in England
to the annual amount of inoqthan 35,000,.
000 tons, and the applicationS of which arc
daily becoming more extended, was but little
known in England. as an article of commerce.
prior to the commencement Of the thirteenth
century. In the year 1238, the first research
vs for this mineral were commenced un the
high ground in the neightiortioud of
castle-upon-Tyne. These were fidluwed in
the year 1330 at the coal field at Colliery.
near Lanchester io 1343, at nerringtun
and Ferry Hill ; and in 1500 the several-col
heries at Gateshead, Whiekham, and Tyne
mouth were first opened. At this periud4he
principal demand was fur the use of black
smiths and limeburners, who appear tu have
been in the habit of employing this luel long
before ii - came into anything like general use
lor household' purposes. The mechanical
resources of the miner were of a very lirm-

RA nature, and the principal part nt, tile coal

situations as afforded considerable facilities
for the removal of the water which naturally
drains into all subterranean excavations. In
the earliest periods of coal-mining, this was
drawn off through the level, or gallery, by
which the fuel it.elf was carried to the sur
face: bufas the demand for the latter became
more extensive, the mines were gradually.
worked at greater depths. This wdli effected
either by extracting the water by an euillebs
chain, carrying a series of properly-arranged
buckets, or by a system olpumps, worked by
a water-wheel. The aid of horses was also
I requently called in; but these were only em
ployed in situations where water-power could
not be obtained; and they were subsequently
superseded by wind-mills, which either rat-
,sed the water by an endless chain, passing
over pulleys, or by pumps, worked by a due
arrangement of cranks, The discovery of the
steam-engine has, however, produced by far
the most nnportant revolution m this branch
of industry• ; fur, by means of this machine,
the working of the mines -is ,not only in a
most remarkable degree facilitated, but, Irom
the immense demand thus created for fossil
fuel, the extraction of coal has become a
most important branch of national industry
in all those countries which have the good
fi.irtune to possess large desposits of this in
valuable production.
England and Belgium are, in proportion to
their extent, the richest with regard to
the coal fields which they contain. In the
lu•rner country, the coal deposits are estima
ted al' 1-20 of the total superficies of the King
dom whilst in Belgium they arc supposed to
occupy about 1-24 of the entire surface of the
country. In France, all the known deposits
scarcely occupy 1-200 part' of the soil ; and
all other European States are much poorer
still in this respect. Sweden, Norway, Rus
sia, Italy, and Greece are almost entirely
without these formations. Bohemia is, in
this particular, the rrchest part of Germany,
although its annual productions are far from
being considerable. Spain. Portugal, Aus
tria, and Poland have likewise their beds of
coal ; and the mineral is also more or less
abundant in India, ;China, Itrladagagcar, Van
Iheman's Land, Wroco, and other East In
dia islands, New Holland, and at Coaceptiou
Bay, in Chili.
In Great Britain . there are several exten
sive coal distrnoug the most important
of which may be named those of Wales,
Newcastle, Lancashire. Derbyshire, Stafford
shire, and Scotland. The veins are worked
by means of shafts and galleries, in the same
way that the metalic minerals are extracted
Motu the lodes in which they are found ; but,
as the seams of coal are generally much
more, extensive than the metalic deposits, and
as much larger masses are removed from the
interior of the mines. the greatest care is re
quired not ouly to prevent the crushing to
i;ether of the workings, but also to introduce a
current of air into every part of the colliery.

fir the purpose of reviration, and to preireut
the accumulation of the explusivt4gases which
frequently issue front' the beds of coal. The
very numerous varieties of coal have given
rise to digiuctions, fbunded partly on its age
ad appearance,anattly on its quality.—
Lrall kinds the structure of the wood from
ivhich they are supposed to have beeu form
ed is obliterated, although partial impres
sions of plants, indicating their origin, fre
quently occur. The coals form a more or
less compact mass, of a dark brown or black
color, sometimes dull, but more frequently
possessing a vitreous lustre, which often ea-
bilk a decided iridescence. Their specific
gravity is considerably above that of wood,
and their structure decidedly granular. They
are always distinctly stratified, and have gen
erally a cleavage at right angles to the plane
of deposition. The different !minx of
which thy are made up are usually in close
contact with each other; but are sometimes
separated by thin layers of other minerals—
such as iron pyrites, carbonate and sulphate
of lime, galena, sulphate barytes, the soda
salts, and still more frequently by a double
carbonate of lime and iron. The fracture of
the shining 'kinds of coal is conchoidal ; that
of the duller varieties is hackly. 'Common
coal, and particularly that Irons the newer
formations, is frequently observed to he made
up of layers ofdifferent appearance—the one
kind, which is black and shining, with a con
choidal fracture, is rich in carbon ; whilst
the duller varieties are of a brown color.
The composition of the ashes of coal is in
a gmtt - me.a - sure deter - Mined by the nature of
the rock in the vicinity of the seam trout
which it is extracted; for, besidescontaining
the inorganic elements originally forming
parts of the plants by the decomposition of
which_the coal has been produced, they
will also, to a certain deg Tee. consist of
earthly particles, deposited in the pores of the
coal by the infiltration of water from the
IdRAEL SEITZINOER
36-tr
over-lying strata. The chemical composi
tion of coals varies according to their different
geological ages, and the localities from which
they are obtained:. but although they differ
considerably in the relative amount of their
various constituents, the nature of their ul
timate elements is invariably found to be the
same. All kinds of coal are, essentially,
composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
but, besides yielding a certain portion of si
licious and earthy residue and of suphur,
they usually ; afford traces of nitrogen, arising
from the Multitude of organic bodies, of
which they contain the remains.
Among the specimens of coal exhibited,
there was anthracite, from Tenby, South
Wales ; from the county of Tipperary, Ire
land ; and from the western side of the Vale
of Heath, near' Swansea. This substance-is
the oldest of all kinds of fossil fuel, and is
chiefly found in the transition formation ; r s
structure is perfectly homogeneous ; its frac
ture, concholdal; and its color of a jet black;
with a vitreous lustre, which frequently
shows a powerful play of colori. This coal
contains an extremely large proportion of
carbon, with but a small amount of volatile
constituents, aod is consequently totally unfit
for the manufacture of gas, although well
adapted for many purposes requiring inten
sity of heat and durability in the furnace.—
From the composition of this fossil, being
more nearly allied to that of coke than to
that of ordinary coal, it is frequently employ.
ed in lieu of the fanner, and is extensively
used in iron furnaces where the hot blast has
been adopted.
The per centage composition of two of the
above-mentioned specimens, as stated by
Sir H. T. De fa Beebe and Dr. Lyon Play
fair, in their first report on coals suited to
the steain navy, is as follows :---Anthracite
from the Vale of Heath: carbon, 91.69; hy
dyrogen, 0.79: and ash, 1.50. Anthracite
lions Tipperary, Ireland : carbon, 80.1&;

wined from it were of good quality :.but this

district are distinguished by a peculiar liackly
structure, and a tendency to split intollong
prismatic fragments. They likewise contain
a rather large per-centage of ash, and ire.
quently iron pyrites and white shale.—
Among, -the specimens exhibited from this

of which the composition is, according to ill,

The coals of Yorkshire have in general a
inure schistose appearance titan those of the
last-meutioned county, but ther are nearh
similar in point of composition and evapora
tive value. From the Staffordshire district
some immense pieces were sent to the Exht•

id iis.structure, great facilities for removal is
large masses, as was seen from the block
raised rom the Denbigh Hall Colliery, near
Tipton, and wa's found at the western -en
trance of the building.
In this department of the Exhibition were
also found coals front the Scotch coal fields,
and -.particularly from those in the neighl.ti
hood of Edinburg. Among these were sam
ples from the Dalkeith Cidliere, worked in
the Midlothian coal steam., nits coal is of
the variety called t' splint," and burns with
a long flame and much smoke. It is also

THEORY OF EPIDEMICS
Some able writers have endeavored to ac
count for the manner in which tlisenses
un
dermine the vital powers, by a theory not
imentitled to attention. As the air is ever
more or less filled with the emanations of
'nitrifying animal and vegetable matter, they
have assimilated the action of these particlys
mlun the blood to that of yeast on wort. -
13y,the fermentation produced by the yeast.
the sugar is changed Into alcohol. It is, ap
pa rently,predisposed for the change : and the
slightest assistance it receives enables it to
enar into a wholly new state of chemical
combinations. Just so animal matter, float
ing in the air in the chernical state of change
called putrescence, if not sufficiently-diluted,
is capable of throwing, the blood, with which
it may conic in contact, into an analagoits
state of fermentation. Thus, of course.
totally alters its nature, and renders it inqa
liable of fulfilling its proper functions. i hii
er writers have supposed that the air, whet.
rendered impure, incomes overloaded with
multitudes of microscopic inserts, which at
tack the human hotly as smut attacks C(.111
I I;onceiVe a minute fungus, whose pores,.
floating in the air, forms the gethis of *pi.
demie disease. Put all the various theories
' brought lhrward proceed froth the assump
tion of a vitiated state of the atmosphere.
To understand the full three of these ilieo
rws, we must remember that tfie human
body is a wonderful combirtatiorof innu
merable particles, all placed - in different de
grees of rheum-al aflinity or antogonism
each other, mid only held S'eparafe, and in
their- proper relations, by the inscrutable
powers ofyitality.
' Port wine will tan and convert into a spe
cies of leather, the stomach of a dead person
and the gastric juices, that possess the pow. ,
er of
,dissialving, not only animal substances,
but even metals—fail to injure, in the least
degree, the vessels with which they are in
constant contact, as low , as life holds its lull
dominion. flow wonderfully does one sin
gle fluid—the blood—in its passage through
each organ of the body, yield to the different
secretions required to enable it to fulfill its
proper functions—supporting, at the same
time, that very vitality which it at mice sus
tains and serves! Life has no sooner depar
ted, and let loose all the different atoms oh
which our earthly tabernacle is formed, than
they engage in the great strife that eventu
'
aces in itsiotal dissolution. As, in a moral
sense, the spirit is ever at war with the in
clinations of the flesh ; so, too, in a physical
sense, the different elements of the body are
only - preserved is their integrity by the des
potic control of vitality.
These coasiderations derive some title to
notice, from the undoubted fact that epidem
=ics are almost invariably accompanied by an
extraordinary development of insect life, and
seldom tail to produce Most remarkable ef
fects upon the lower animals.
We have ofteti heard of the showers of
blood " that are said to have preceded pesti
lence, striking terror into the mind of die
vulgar. The showers of colored rain are al
most invariably caused by infinite multitudes
of microscopic insects, or sometimes by the
Growth of a species of fungus. The chits
between Cape York and Cape Dudley
in the Arctic regions, are sometimes covered
with snow of a bright crimson color.
Whether thesectimson globules belong to
the animal or .fe.getable kingdom, has been
much disputed ; but Sir John Ross, the dis
coverer, insists that they are a vegetable pro
duction, and has called them the Ureda na
vatic. lie has so styled them because he
maintains they belong to the genus Ureda,
vulgarly known as the smut in wheat. It is
evident alit the phenomenon of colored rain
cannot occur, partictflarlx in oar latitudes.
without -- tome extraordinary atmospheric
changes, of which philosophy . has failed to
discoyaTke causes ; hut it frequently takes -
, latenn the eve of a pestilence. Dr. Barker
as recorded the fall of an ink black fetid
rain, (doubtless
.animalcular,) nea:11:- . Carlow,
on the 14th of April, 1849. at a period coin
cident with the outbreak of the Cholera' in
that town. )
The belied in a connection between both
circumstances, cdso prevails extensively in
India and 1 110 1 01. perhaps it receives an
undue amount of credence, the popularity of
the theory vouches for the frequency of the
coineitieve. An immense development of
insect Jile also preceded the pestilence at
West Barha.ry, in 1799, and the same cir
cumstance elsewhere has been frequently
witnessed and recorded.—Deblin Untrers it y
