' - COAL CO AMU It is a well known, fa .t. that the only ac cessible Coal lands in thi , Region lying idle, were those owned by the N th American and Delaware Coal Companies, t management of which was controlled abroad. hese Com= . pOies have both, as we are pleased to. learn, abandoned all idJa. of mining, and are leasing out their lands fo i udividuats to. work. Messrs. Rogers, Siunickson & CO., leased the Dsla. ware Coal Company 7 s mihNlast 'year, p'ut the works in'order again,and are now turning out some of the best Red Ash' Coal of the Region. , We are informed that the .Messis. Sheafer have leased the old Peach Mountain Vein ou the lauds of the North American Coal Company, sad have erected the necessa ry machinery—breakers, &c.—and are now turning out about 1(/0 tons a day of this cele- I brated Red Ash Coal, the same as is worked on the Delaware Coal Company's lands. The works at Crow Hollow are also' progressing under a :lease by the same parties, and the veins to be reached by this opening are the Primrose, Holmes, Orchard, Seven Foot Vein, and the Mammoth, which was gored. to last year. *This opening, when completed, will make one of the most valuable Collieries in the County, and will produce a good income to the CoMpany. The property has been ex tricated &via the mortgage debt, by the issue of additional stock authorized by the Legis lature ; and they have also laid out a town plot adjoining the Borough of St. Clair. from which , the Company expect to realize a con siderable sum from the sale of lots. The manageme4 of this Company for a number of years, fell little short of a regular system of swindling—but we are assured that under_the auspices of those, who now control it, the policy will In changed—that stock-jobbing is to cease, and that the lands will be devel oped, as rapidly as possible under leases to,in dividuals; and that a legitimate business is to be pursued hereafter and not stock-jobbing.--, IN - hen this property is fully developed*we have no doubt but that it will prove very productive, but the outlay will have :to be considerable before the stockholders can expect to realize any .dividends. It is a notorious fact which challenges contradiction,that no exclusire Coal Corporation in this or any other Anthracite Region, ever paid a dollar to the stock-holders, until its mining business was abandoned and .hrown into Me hands of individuals s the only true policy to adopt. cox): rNICATkrD MESSRS. EDITORS:—I observed during last winter that our Marshal Mr. Crist visited all place's where liquor was sold and stopped cer tain individuals from getting any ,more liquor al these places, under a.%penalty to the seller of prosecution—a thing which was certainly right in all respects, for it ought to be stopped. But seeing those individuals. whom Mr. Grist stopped from getting liquor, going through our streets, reeling and staggering from side to side, with more .liquor in them than they could get before said liqUor was stopped, I think Mr. CriSt should now take another step, and prosecute all such offenders of the law who sell liquor 'to these people after haling had notice to the contrary. Now, gentlemen, the law is 'very severe ou_the subject of sell• ing liquor to inebriates,ind I think that if Mr. Crist would-only make a few, arrests, it might do a great deal of good. "Temperance" should remember that pub lic officers, no matter how efficient., can effect but little themselves in enforcing )he law, and protecting public morals, if theiendeavcrs are' not seconded by the community in which they act. -It is-certainly an up-bill business, to attempt reformations in any respect in our midst, if the public, which should esteem it a duty to assist its officers, passively look on, or coldly acquiesce in movements tending to, the general welfare. To ono person the hog. ordinance is obnoxious; to another, suppress ing the sale of intoxicating liquor, is an itu.l popular movement; and so on to the end of the chapter. We thus degenerate into a hog-, gish, drunken community, because we lack', that unanimity of sentiment and opinion, ne- I cessary to ensure the 'enforcement of wise' laws and local ordinances. Good officers, "Temperance," should be sustained by the people, in all their efforts; and we fancy that the reason so many enactments are inopera tive is, the apathy, and too often criminal op position.of the pliblic to their enforcement.— Assist your officers, if youould stop drink t- euness, and consequent • e; and thereby) un lessen the number of crin ! inals annually Eientj to the State and County prison, and empty) comparatively, our aims-houses. , 1 There is another reason why both officers and , .W : izens 'do not prosecute in grim :casts. They have but little confidence in the , Court as at present constituted in these eases.:. It is notorious that the influence of the Court is in favor of Rum—this is d common remark, made even by stringers who have watched its pro ceedings in these cases. 1 COUNTERFEIT NOTES.—Beware of Counter. felt slo'B on the Bank of Montgotrutry, county, Pa.

The shipments tie very heavy this week—that by Abe Rail Road' being the largest ever transport. ed over, this road in one week before. We under stand it Would haiii'_reaohed 60,000 tons if a break down had•tiot ocentrdd, which retarded the cars longer thin tinal,!•'? r • The. Companies:kleeided, very prudently in the present state of thlitrade, not to advance the Cates of toil and txanspoitation on the first of Au list. We think; howevetAt is highly probable that they may advitnee on -.t e. first of September. Much however Will depend on the state of the trade at that period, whethei• it will boar any advance on rates already too high. The demand for Coal eontinuis fair, and prices are firm; t no (urthet reduction need be apprehend. ed fur the, future 045 year. The increased supply of Anthracite Coalthis year from all sources up to the first of Aniust, does not exceed 300,000 tons, if it reachesi; that quantity . The whole in-- crease from the Selfuylkill and Lehigh regions so fur, is about 280,680 tons. The Wyoming trade has fallen off nearly as much as the Shamokin has inereileed—and: 'we doubt whether there has been much if any increase by way of the Dela- Ware and', Hudsort,Canal. We made application for the shipments from that quarter, but so far have not teen able:'t.o procure them. The motives that proripts the taippression of these shipments, in the present statCof enlightened commercial en terprise, We are nat acquainted with. It may ef fect the price of;kooks, but that consideration ought to be . .secoudiry .to the groat interesteof trade and comtnero. A friend in Bostin, whore good opinion of our Journal we appreciate, writes to inform us that all Coal now sold bqi retail in Massachusetts, is by the ton of 2000 Ihii.raccorditig to law, and not by the ehaldron. .4 " The same writer iilso states that we are in error with regard to the;price of freights from Philadel phia to „Roston. , Aln two occasions before the freights were as lew..and one year lower than at present. ln MaY:-'1842, freight. were at $1 25 per ton, and in Julgand August of the same.year, $1 00, and in SePtember, $1 121. The highest rate paid' hat yeai4gas $1 50. In July and An. gust of 1848, freights were , as low as $1 25; and in August and Odeher Of 1849, freights touched 'as low as,lsl 25 pii-Jon. We were not posted up l i quite so fir back 4184 . 2 with regard to treights to the Emit, but thli statement; only confirms the position 40 assumed last week, "that the shipping and rownitreial intetestsof a country only prosper in proportion as iti2domestic -productions are fox. tered aodprotert4l Look at the periods of low freights—in 18423 nit before the establishment of the admirtible Tariff enacted that year, when free trade was:the orderof the day. Again in 1848 and 1849,after thetariff of 1842 was destroyed , - by the substitntion.uf the bit' l of abominations of 1846, the,ffeets ofiilithich were staved off in 1847, by famine abroad .' ; ' After this period its destruc tive tenddicy - tobt'severely on the i i tidustry of the country, until the discord" of gold in Califor nia, the Influx ofSwhich enhanced prices and greatly aided ourithainess prospects.

In ,desen- - biz% the Wyoming Region, 'commencing 'lSt Car .,;-,bottdale, and from thence' descending, I would naturally arrive at Wilkesharre - and Plymouth °some time," and in counectihn, would describe ;'the peculiarities of the Coal and formations in these localities. ;' In the vidinity of Wilkesbarre and Nanticoke, the Coal 'appears to be thicker and deeper than it Is in other portions of the region. but at Wilkes lbarre it is deepid than atNanticoir, where*, com mences to rise rapidly towards the Western en tremity of the formation at Shickshiony.';' At Nanticoke and Plymouth; the lower veins are worked above water level, and are cat by the -.'streams In several. places. But there- tin only Arse Collieries heactive operation one, the lower or I` ..

There are other Red, Pink, 's and Grey Ash Veins above the No. 4, or Balti liner° Coal, which is worked at Plymouth';.by the - ,'Messrs Patten. and others, under the name of the Patlen or Bennett Vein. ,The No. 6:and 8, called at Plymouth the Cooper and Orchard Veins, ';tuvi a mixture of Red, Pink, Grey and White Ash Coal; but farther up the valley these santo;veins "aremorked at the "Gould Mine Colliery,T where ;they produce White, or rather Grey Ash Coal. There are, in some parts of the valley,, where the intermediate hills or ridges'are sufficiently high to contain them, several other Red Asb work. ' , :';able - veins; of nearly the same charaeter'its our "red Ash Veins in this region. Indeed, the,geo .;logical formation of the three Con) fields = , are so that we are inclined to think, that the veins worked 6 the theft region, urns he ideutified -.lcifft each other. • Thus, the Mammoth, or Daniel Van of Sibityl- Atill County, is generally believed turbo the, sameas the Laneastar Vein of Shamokin, and Om' tat ,,tlutore,. or No. 4 Vein, of the Wyoming...Valloy; ;'and there is every reason to 'believe, that' they aro 1 :. , ,th0 formation of tho same era, for this vein dif- :-.fors as stuckin the verbins localities, wham it is ,!,worked in the same region, and no more,,than it ,does in the three Anthracite Coal Field* . where At is invariably found. It is worked with radio prof- ^it, and consocinently, in preference to anyietbers, excepting thi3 Wyoming bottom Red Ash Vein, Plrhich we thinkmay be one of those weiked at and other- fdaces in the &hay Re- EMI In speaking of this Coal—the old Smith Rod Ash Coal of Nenticoke—we beg' leave to differ ;=from Mr. Gaylord concerning its qualities and uses. I have ao doubt; and it is very' kely; that the old Germans on the line, and young ones ft too, prefer "Be old Schmidt Red Ash Coal;' to any i'otlicr for all purposes—being partial to Coal :, - beeiitise their fathers used it, and, coneognent . ,9y,:having tried no other, they do not know Jim `difference. • But notwithstanding their preference or the partiality of others, it must be allorred that •.; th o upper 'Red Ash Veins, wherever found, pro i.duce much superior Coal as An article for,demes ' Aiwuses, than either the bottom Red, or. White :Ash Coal. In the Wyoming Region, the upper Red Ash Veins are not worked, as they exist but in it few localities, and arq generally small, and r beneath the notice of the Coal Operators: But. in if: the Seliuylhill it is differeht, for....here the upper j;..ited Ash Veine are worked tora.great extent, and :':•bought readily by Coal merchants itit high prices, preference to any other kinds or Coal:for do ') lee-tie purposes. Two thousaud pounds of Rod AS:11 Cold from the Schuylkill -Region his; been eoneltudeely proved t `to be equal to two tlfoUsand "d - three hundred and eighty-seven' pound* of the lie - A White A., Coal for stoves .and griitel, as , lit cant, calorie in thii proportion, df one to one ; !anil a quartpr nearly; therefore Red Mh Coal ;rut $5 50 per ton is chcaperfor such purpohs than whit e Aeti it $4 n 0; anZl we cannot readily admit that the Wyoming "Bottom Red Ash Coati is in :day manner superior for domestic purposes, to ::. i the excellent White Ash of the same region, The facts arc against it; for the Coal *hick is preferred for blacksniiths, forges, fur locomotives and manufacturing uses, is generallyfiense, hard, and not easily fractured, and these - qualities the Nanticoke Coal possesses. For light blaCksusith work it has no superior in the world—beingmuch cheaper—because it burns longer, and what is Sin : miler, it adds to the weight of manufactured iron. Ten pounds of nail rod, worked into nails with this Coal will make more than ten ponnds of nails.' But for family uses it requires too much draught to be serviceable; for without the aid of a strong current of air, this Coal cannot be•the ronghly consumed. Like some of our Wbite Ash 3 Coal. and some of the Shamokin, when battled in grates, the residue of waste, or ashes, is mdoh greater than that which is left from the pare up per Red Ash. If any person will tako the trouble to examine, thoy will find among 'the ashes 'of this Coal, as well as the White Ash from all regioni, when ;-c burned in grates litany pieces not consamedwhite outside but atilt black in the middle. Pitt the Red Ash of Schuylkill or Shamokin, which is in :',lerior to no Coal in the world for &Willy uses, will not, if properly treated, leave any residua), or waste more than tlie ashes which they contain; , and which in the best quality, do not exceed from :four to five per cent. We do not suppose that the Wyoming Red Ash Nal contains more silex or ashes than other Coals, or that it leaves more waste when proliorly con tamed. It requires a stronger draught than the upper Red or oven White Ash Coal for conetimp ,,.tiori in open grates or family stoves. In ;this re speet it is much liko the lower veins in tho'Beaver Meadows, Bucks MOuntain, and Schuylkill, Co. Wo do not know of any Coal equal fur culinary purpdses, to the Schuylkill or Shame* Red Ash; though the "peer man's Coal ":in the ;' , ,llasleton and Beaver Meadow Basins being light - er, than our White Ash, answers very well, This ; Coal, which is a,"bunch" of about two feel and a half thick, in the middle 'of the "Big Vein," it, is almost impossible to keep separate from the rut of the Coal in the same vein. The "poor man's Coal"—eo denominated by the Miners for its excellence in making good , winter tires—has some resemblance to the Shanniitin Red Ash; but there is no doubt but that the ''Shame. ;'kin Coal, particularly that of Rosser Boyd it Co., from its purity and richness is the best: of the two; and though we need not reiterate it,,W,e may .:s remark, that there is no difference between the 'Shamokin and the Schuylkill Red Ash, ',except, that some of our Red Ash it, much harder than ; any which has yet been worked at Shamokin. Most of the Coal washed iu the vicinity of Plymouth village at present is White 'Ash; in fact, when I visited that place in June, there was !: no Rod Ash Coal being mined. The Rod Ash bottom vein is.worked at Nanticoke, by Leo, Penn Co., Jameson Harvey, Esq., and William L. Lance—the mines of the two latter are on the Plymouth side. The seams or benches'. of Mr. Unrvey's vein s i t the water level are as inliows— it commencing at the top or upper bench: ' Beneath the top slate is found 3 feet Co al, 1 foot elate, 3 feet Cool, 1 foot Coal, 8 inches, shit:), 3 feet dark lied Ash Coal, 4 feet light Red :Ash:Coal, 22 . li:idles slate bone and Coal, and 3 feet goal:White :, , ,Aeh Coal; which is the bottom. or loweit bench resting on the slate. . At Mr. Lance's upper mines about one thousand feet abote Lis lower mines, (Grand Tunnel Mines), the. benches are thicker and range as follows : .6' feet bone Coal and slate (roof), 7 feet good Red-Ash Coal with' small strips of bard ; bone in tervening, 2 feet - 51at0,.6 feet light Red Atih Coal (very good), 6 inches bone Coal and ablitit two !; feu bottom Coal, White Ash. i. At, Plymouth, the No. 4, or as we supiose, the ':Mammoth White Ash vein—where worked by the Messrs. Puttens--much resembles the Mine Hill 'veins with the exception that the top', took is much stronger and more solid. We girl; below =the column of the ram& vain at three different places, viz: Plymeuth, Wjlkcsbarro and Mine Dill !, in rotation: ; Beneath 12 feet of solid top slate in thei Patten rein; Plymouth, is - lirst 2} feet good Coal, 3 inch es bone, 4 inches slate, feet good Coalill foot :'hone Coal (sometimes pure Coal), 4 inches . slate, 3 to 4 feet good Coal, small strip of 100ne,..6 inch ,e;•B Coal and 1 foot bone; making about 12 feet o 1 —l4 feet vein inclusive.
