tion of the first of series of.Etu-opean Let
ivritten. for the Journa.Z by a young-Mi.
ning Engineer, who is at the present time
making a tour of Europe, on foot. The wri
ter is a gentleman of ability, experience and
discernment, and as be is engaged in person=
ally visiting and inspecting the various exten
sive Mining operations of Great Britain, we
can promise our patrons, in the perusal of his
letters a mass of invaluable information, Such
as is even not generally known in the very
kingdom in which the operation referred to,
exist.
In connection with this matter, we would
suggest to those who are interested in Mining
operations-in this country, and.whose names
are not enrolled upon our list as subscribers,
to send in their names before we commence
the publication of these interesting letters.—
We are resolved in the conduct of the Miners'
Journal, to spare no trouble or. expense in
perfecting every department of the paper, and
that portion devoted to Mining, here and
abroad, shall be particularly , the object of our
care, iVorder to render the Journal useful to
the operator and the general dealer.
I The increased expenses which we naturally
near in these efforts, in'ances us to ask our
patrons to assist us in increasing the, already
large circulation of the Miners' Journal, and
\ its consequent usefulness. A neighbor or bu
siness friend might readily be induced to sub
scribe, when the cheapness of the paper, and
we flatter .ourselves, its peculiar excellence,
are mentioned. The large amount of read
ing matter given weekly is alone a feature
which should insure an increased circulation,
as its insertion calls for in increased expen
diture on our part, independent of the litera
ry aid which we call into requisition, ti:) ren
der the Journal acceptable -in every way to
our patrons.
With these facts in view, we trust that our
.
list of subscribers, which has already increas
ed in a gratifying meatier, since the first of
the present yeawill thrOugh the exertions of
our friends and It p ppreb4ting „public, both

' - 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.

THE COAL TRADE.
RwAteitiibi)Enibfiiß
The quantity sept by Rail Road this weak is

88,566 oti tone. by'Rail Road, 1,356,364 00
against 1,202,331j6 . t0n5--do by Canal, 564 . -
693 02, against 48, ,320 03 tone, to same period
last year.'
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

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

the country, until the discord" of gold in Califor

California; and nuire • too, is shipped abroad I

°some time," and in counectihn, would describe
;'the peculiarities of the Coal and formations in

In the vidinity of Wilkesbarre and Nanticoke,
the Coal 'appears to be thicker and deeper than it

;,,erippose vy then tho brightest dream of Many a

if such were the ease, the computed Atunitity of
Coal in the region would be reduced malty one

. • But besides the bottom Red Ash VelnOrbieb

's and Grey Ash Veins above the No. 4, or Balti

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

Thus, the Mammoth, or Daniel Van of Sibityl-

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

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

literature of his country4whose fame is devoutly cher
ished in the hearts of the Auierican putiple--held In
equally affectionate remembrance in the rude rabies. of
the frontier, the halls of universities, and the saloons of
fashionable life, whew successes in the varied walks -- of
classical composition have done as much to illustrate the
, character of America in the eye of the world as the elo
quence of hap 'donatora or 'her-prowess in arms—should
• create a permanent memorial of Washington in a style
worthy tint dignity of the subject and the reputation of
the author."
The literary editor o f the rtilladelphLa Evening Bulle
tin speaks of this work us • folios - it:
"The work. n questibu ties been long anticipated by the
reading public, and till. accident by which its publication
wntdelayed. and Which at first was believed to threaten
the lowa the book, was regretted by many' as an almost
natters arcalarnity. . It 11. needless to saythat this biog
. rapby has fully satistiOd tinticipatien—we Can only say
that in It the illustrious anther, tar from manifesting any
loss of vigor. appears to have gained with age. -
e.A life , of Washington mutt bit, from necessity, more of
-a history than a biography, or, a. Irving hlniself remarks,
•Washington, in fact, had. Very little private life, but was
eminently a public character.' The main eirellence of a
work of history amulets in a Judicious selection of illus.
' bath% facts,' In their Condensation, and in the style In
which they ate set forth. :In all these partibulara Irving
is known to excel—in the present work he hits manifest ed
them to a degree which will establish the Life of Wash.
ington as the best historical biography In existence. The
prederninant and chaticteristic excellence of the work'
ebnaists, however, of the life -like and vivid descriptions
of persons. As a writer of lictien. Irving has long since
Aearned the art of sketching individuals—and he possess
see the faculty of gathering frora books those accurate
•': impressions of character which are seldom acquired save
from personal acquaintance. For this reason, if for no
. other, this Life will prove of singular interest teTthe most
general reader. • .: ' 1 1 . .
"It is evident that the author has not only carefullY
investigated a vast amount of originalmaterialato which
few persons could have had access, but that he also has
, devoted many years to a most congenial subject. In jus.
lice to the publishers.we ;may - state that the work has
• been got up. io a style well worthy of its subject. It is
accompanied with a portrait, engraved by Verthmuller,
after an original pictUre in possession of C. A. Davis, Eel.,
