Tote DEMOCRATIt COUNTY TICKET.—We
imagine that the meh.hers of the Democratic .
party who gulp down the head_ of the ticket
nominated at their recent
:Convention, will
find the dose sufficient .o purge them for at
least a year. When the respe-Aable members
of the Dentoeiatic party became . cOgnizant of
the degrading influences from the Coal region
sections of the county, brought to bear upon
the nomination of Straub, for the purpose of
out-maneuvering Christ, who was supported
by the intelligent, respectable delegates from
the eountry,_ we do not wonder that they hung
their_ heads in shatne, and returned to their
homes disgusted with the result of that day's
work; We know that some of the names on
the ticket:are good ones;
. but as fart as the
principlesinVolved in its nomination are con
cerned, it is the quintessence of everything
degrading. It bath a pot-house odor, distaste
ful to nasal organs polite. We very much
doubtlf a deQcension to the regions of the
damned, could elicit inure vile or more degra
ded compounds than compose the principles
which went to make up this ticket. • The head
of the ticket is a dose alone. Swallow it,
Democrats, and you lime enough, indeed.—
Ugh ! Many honest, re4,ectable Democrats
of the moral portion of the county, were, we
perceived, thoroughly disgusted on Monday,
by the character of a considerable portion :of
the delegation from 'the Coal sections*; .and
we mistake their spirit considerably, if thef
permit themselves to he driven tamely, "as
asses are," by Straub. and Company.
IM
PRUPER.VENTILATION OF Minxes.—Tll6 let
ter of our European correspondent, published
last week, has elicited comment and CoMmew ,
dation from several, intereatekin the mining
of Coal in this . Region. There is much re- -,
fortn'need'ed in the mode of ventilating triiiips
in this Region, and we think it possible that
Operators will yet render themselves liable to
prosecution for carelessness iaa matter, which
endangers 'life, • and renders miners timid in
offering their services, for what almost appears
.'ertain death. This matter should cominand
serious attention from all interested in mating !
operations in this section. A communicant,
writing 'on this subject, says:
MESSRS. Enemas :—I perceiv;:that your
European correspondent making the tour!
of the various Coal fields 'of England, and is
at present in Lancashire. : , .1 lately Caine from
that section of England, and having sojourned
in 'different parts of Lancashire for upwards j
of forty years, I can vouch for the correct-1
ness of his statements. It.would be well for
- the mining population of 'America to pay ate
tention to the correspondence; because I fear
that there is great loss of life and much de- I
struction of properly, in consequence of . a
lack of knowledge of the proper manner to
conduct the air, in order that there will not
be so much danger attending mining opera
•tions. I have visited several slopes in this
neighborhood ; but I have not seen any in
which the air is conducted with advantage,
either' to the nrillYr or the operator. Great
improvements • must be _made in that feature
of mining operations, before they can be car
ried on. to the extent that, they ought to be for
the interests of the miner, operator, and pro
prietor. J;

THE ORIGIN' OF THE LOUISVILLE R10T...
The Louisville Journal piffilishes columns of
affidavits, which fully establish the fact that
Irish of that city, long before the riots . , made
the most ample provisions for warfartvend in
fact commeOced the riot, which recently dis
craced Louisville. It is proven by Irish and
Catholic testimony, that the Irish intended to
attack the Atnerican torchlight procession the
previous Saturday night; and were prepared
for the emergeucy with arms. The Irish were
engaged in moulding bullets. The affida
vits published in , the Jourrial exculpate the
American party of Louisville from the charge
of being the first to commence the scenes of
violence which lately disgraced Louisvllle.
The opposite party in the .meantime, 'canpro
duce no 'affidavits to prove that they were not
the aggreisors in, toe affair. It is well that
these facts should be distinctly understoods ,
many qoe apt in cases of this character, be
fore facts are known, to blame the American
party. Let censure fail where it is justly due.
THE YELLOW Fk:vsn has desolated :Norfolk
and Portsmouth,.Va.. Several physicians have
died, and a "Howard" Association haiorgan
ized,thare ellidiently.tO aid the sick. Starva
tion also threatens those who, remain. The
following' terrible scene is related-in a letter
from Portsmouth:
A citizen pas Sing on alis way to bury a rel
ative, heard the most 41in-rending groans of
men , and screams•of women proceeding from
a house near by, and went in to discover the
cause.' He found two men with-the corpse of
a woman, and in taking which down - stairs
they h'ad jammed it at the turning. He assist;
e 4 them to release the body, and they then de
s-irted it, and it was sometime before he could
bribe even a negro to, bury it. Ptissine,thro'
the house he saw eight men in one room, all
down with the fever, lying abOut on the floor,
and in their midst .was the. body of 44'0114
looking companion who had died during the
night, his comrades being too weak ttilift the
corpse out. The •gentleman who witnessed
this scene had himself buried nine of his own
'relatives. . •
I.lo4,t4 t ri t S OINTMENT AND PILLS, a won
derful Cure of Ulcers in the Leg.—Frederick
Ilitf, :of Houston, Tezas; - was afflicted for
eight years with seven ulcers in the leg, like
the keys of a flute, 'which discharged continu-
ously and rendered Ms life one of the great
est wretchedness arid misery; nurny remedies
were tried in vain,
he became worse, at last,
he had recourse to Holloway's Ointment and
Pills, and by persevering with these remedies
in accordance with the printed directions for
nine weeks, ho was radically cured, and is
now able to walk better than ever he was in

The to:Oily seta by Rail Road this week is

611 12 tons,`! Total by Rail. Road 1)4,10,324 01t I

year.
The shipuiOnts this week falloff 2,174 tons, and
,
only exceed the shipments for the cerresponding4l
week last year, 4,218 tons.
The general features of the trade remain without
cluttige—pritiie are .firm and tht; demand is fair
for Coal. ;!
Freights tel the Ea.it from Port Richmond have
advanced. We quote Si 40 to Bosten: Consumers
abroad may Ow assured that they cannot procure
Coal any che a per'than they now do, from this Re
gion. We make this remark because we learn
that some 'arrel holding back under such an expect
ation. Thepi T will be disappointed, if they hold out
any longer. :1 After August,freights ,in the Coal
Trade most always advance, or at least they never
recedit after that period, and there to no marginfor

thi* , ,liegion
STOCK OF IPS LKIII6II ComP.Osi..:—The writer,
of the moneartiele, in the Philadelphia , Ledger,
who is !argot interested in stocks in tihn Lehigh,
seems to hovel taken that Region under his espe
cial care. This is all right enough, but his state
ments about the quality of Coal, has not benefitted
him much, aid the following article, which wo
copy from tiresome paper, will r also recoil :
Lehigh Na'rigation shares were in demand at
Sl, with sales l ,. There were no sales of the Scrip
of the Comps y, but at the estimated difference
in value it would probably ho worth about 70.
The great prt)Sperity of the Coal Trade, and par
ticularly,as regards the, Lehigh Company, which
is profiting bath' as a producer of COal and as a
carrying Conipany, has rendered its securities
among the mast desirable on the market, and high
as its prices ;cem, its friends point to a much
higher figure.
The object the, above paragraph is Specula.
Lion. It is well knoivn that the Lehigh Coal Com
pany derives 4 , large_ portion of its profits from the
tolls of the Coil transported over its Works by the
other Compakiies mining in • that Region. A
new Rail Road, from Mauch Chunk to Easton,
will he in eper4tion in the course of she coming'
two months, Which, when supplied -with running
machinery, will divert a large portion of this trade
from the Canal to tho Rail Road, consequently,
the inconie of ithe Company must neee'ssarily be
,
effected Ao some extent, which also effects the price
of stdethi. The stock of the Schuylkill Naviga
tion CoMpany i sms nearly destroyed by , the build
ing of the Reading Rail Rood, and has not recov
ered since. What effect the Manch : Chunk and
Easton Rail Rnad *lll have on Lehigh Company
stock; remains ito be seen. 1

White Aah';
win go farther and pi*goeit more motion than
the same quantity froti!the Leblghi . itliCh state-'
meat the facts submitteil above will prove conclu
sively. ;: . i- - .- -
Indeed, for steam purpose., we t ' know that
bard, compact, and pi:trio COO, is preferable even
for stationary engines ah,d other purposes, but when
required fur ocean steziiikera, it is far superior to
the lighter qualities iof Anthracite. Steamers,
which only take in Cooint Intervals of weeks or
months, cannot spare i l ipsee for Coal of a light
and free burning natal* and. even if they had
room, it would not , ankwer the purpose, for when
there is strong , drai - t t the lighter qualities of
White Ash will contutios too. fast, ned our best
quality of Red Ash would produce more clinker,
and melt out the grate;bitirs as fast as they could
be put in. •
• But our dense White Ash has every quality that
I can be desired for all *am and manufacturing
purpose!; ittias for - 614"; finicking of iron no sii:
perior. It is Buse , yeti ill not µsy " or creature
with the h eat; hard, 04 yet . fiee burning when
exposed to a strong drift; dense, and yet not mix
ed with bone or slate Via& consequently, when
dissolved by the 'beat era furnace, it escapes al
most entirely inchitiOniletiving but little /ilex, or
ashes to mix with the ienh,.- 1 • . -
Indeed, as we before li4tea;'.'siva have , a variety
of. Coal for every parpi4
. Our botto Red Ash 1
Coal,of which we have,:tipecimens in our office, is ,
of / the same character aifd• nature, as that of the ,
Wyoming region, itethulxittom Red Ash veins at
Nanticoke; which for tilikelismlthing and making
iron, there can beno equal. This Coal is taro
very dense, and requireo strong draft to consume
entirely. It underlies tl*Mammoth, and is found
in three veins, which ere j all the workable veins
below the , Mammoth; but it is not always Red 1
Ash-'-sometimes, or in stifine localities, kt changes
from Red to White and Jsey Ash. . 1
It seems to be the impression of the Lehigh
people, that we have n4bing, but soft Red Ash 1
Coal in this Region, an 4 .that, we are at the ex- ,
tremity of the Basin.. Ifut that is not the cash. I
We certainly have both; t and hard Red Ash
[
1 free burning CoaLwhickis to be found in no oth
er
Region, except the Shamokin. .We have the'
Grey Ash veins also,w4ih on trial has proved to
be the best Coal for 104inotives. These the La-'
high region does not cunt:l4ll,4lnd we have :their
big White Ash. veins taqiind in many placess - even
thicker than they aro loge Lehigh region. It is
surprising to us, that the,lWriter of the article in
question, should never hitive beard of the "Great
Mammoth" vein, (Soineti ii ies called Jugular vein,)
of this district, which un4ilies our entire Region,
and has frequently been fennd 50 feet thick; with
46 feet of pure Coal..
We would ask, who 041/fished the fact "that
l i
Coal which is taken frou £he Eattern end of a Ba
sin, is hardei and better,ithan that, which is taken
from the Middle?" fur i:),iiust„ not tie understood
that we aro at the II eetrrrj extremity of the South
ern Coal field. WO aro 04 eentit of it, gentle
men—right in the middlenf the First Great An
thracite Formation of Pennsylvania, where the
Coal is more dense, and li;:tid, and as pure, as it is
in the very best of the Lehigh basins. - 4
Who, that is-not a Knelt', Nothing on the sub
! .n
jest,will say that the ca' rbonclalle Coal,' at the
I E'asterp extremity of the Northern Coal field, is
t z :better and morn pure thXki • the celebrated Wyo
-1 ming , Conl which is near,lhe Western extremity?
Or who will attempt to tiroye, or show, that the
i Buck Mountain Coal at tlie Eastern extremity of
1 the Middle Coal Field i'i'fliarder, purer or mere
Idense than the beautiful '.kithlitnd Coal, which is
located 'tower& the WeeOrn extremity of that
Region? or who will stand n front of the forego
ing array of facts, and' tft; , j,hardy enough to say,
that the Lehigh Coal at (he Eastern extrtinity of
the First, or Southern Co# Field, is harder or let.
ter, than the Schuylkill Ceitl, which is so peculi
-1 arly adapted to every purfiyse f . 1
We speak with etintideiio on this subject, hay
, ing examined thuseßegitfits from. one quit to the
other, and can say most kr -. 4itively that such is not
I the case, however much tray have been said to the
I contrary; for the Cent is `undeniably purer and
1 better iu the centre of alfhe Anthracite Basins,
or iu the-deepest parts, tlithi at' either of , their ex

harder and better at the Raistern than at the West

CARBON AND CALORIC:4TC has been stated that
the Ashland Coal eontain.97 parts of- Carbon, and
consequently, only 3 parts volatile matter and athes.
If theanalysis which gal 4; this amount of Car
bon ins a correct one, untofrom a fair specimen
of the Ashland Coal, it clklainly surpasses any
thing of tho kind that weave ever heard of, fur
the purest Coals that we kiiow of do not contain
more than from 90 to 94 tiertaot Carbon: Even
the best sugar Loaf Cual the Hazleton Basin,
which is ai•pure as any iWthe Lehigh Region, on
ly :contains 90 per cent. 0f3860n, 7 of volatile
matter and 3 of . ashes . ; artd.'our best Broad Moun
tain Coal only contains 94 Jser cent. of Carbon.
There have been various:analyses of our Potts
ville Coal, made at differenhitues by Rodgers, and
others, witt?fttve from 99A0 94. parts of Carbon
to the 100,.while the entails:is of the Mauch Chunk

' The Tamaqua Coal, though within a fraction
as dense as our heaviest, 'foes nut contain quite
so much Carbon, hough th ' ere are puma veins at

..SCLIUYLKILL RED ASFI 00AL.-A very impor
tant and interesting experiment on. this Cool was
made - a few years ago by Otero' gentlemen from
Philadelphia, in the United-States Hotel, which
was pnblilhed at the time lit..the Journal.
Two rooms' of nearly - thr74aine size and haring
the same tempeintare, weWselected, to ascertain
how many pounds of each *lnd of Coal would bo
required to heat them to as . `tOriperature of 65 de
grees, during a period of 19ionrs, when the tent
perature:outof doors, at 9 A% M.; was at 10 de
grees below the freezing p!ilnt. -Two days were
occupied in the trial, so thlit both the Red and
White Ash Coals might be used alternately in each
room. Fires were made.at
.:CA. M., and contin
ued until 12 I'. M.
Thirty-one' pounds each d'ii of the Schuylkill
Red Ash Coal gave a mean teinperature of 64 'de
grees; and thirty-seven pottiids each day of the
White Ash, taken from a vein of high repute in
' the Lehigh Region, gave -Istein temperatuo of,

f 63 degrees. 'Making 2081)Pounds• of this lied
Ash to be equal to 2,387 POUnds of the white ;
and Red Ash Coal at $5 504‘0r ten, to bo equal
to White Ash at $4 61. Tlii;t settles the question
!'on the score of economy; by regards the White
Ash and Red Ash Coal for dc:nestie purposes...— .
We can only reiterate what if t s stated in our arti-
el . ° of the 30th July on this
„Rod
: that for Cul
inary uses, . the Schuylkill „Rod and Pink Ash i
Coals are preferred to all!!ethers, and in Now
York markets, the Schuylkili!lted Ash commands l i
a higher price than any of the' White Ash Coals I
from the Lehigh or elSowhir:e, -Good Rod Ash !
Coal in ' , -Schuylkill Conn ty, ; always commands l
from 2.4t0 37i cents per ton M'ore than-'the White 1
Ash, not only because it is superior for the purpo-1
sea for which it is used, but because the quantity,
i
Is limited. jc. ,
~
Wo mist now draw to a. conclusion, bat before
doing so we would remark, tlint this rather long
article, has not• bean the reiiilt merely of those,
questionii which we have, so filly answered, for we
have long intended to say soinething on the pre
sent subject. Our duty as faithful - journalists,
and the 'rants of. our readendemanded it. We
might hnve deferred the article* short time long-
Lcr, bat they having asked tiniAnestions, the op.
portuniti was apropos, and WtOmproved it.
If the: Lehigh region audiits from the facts
which wei hive hero stated, (B4sts which we eltal-i
lenge any person who has inveitigated the subject
to deny,)' the Optuators therti4tave only to thank
the "Ledger men" for it. „ ;;' . •

But never let any of the frifeds of the Lehigh
region write in fairer of their:i4 ‘ oal to the dispar
agement of ours again; nor giiy that it is worth'
more per, ton than the
,Seha:tlittll. "When theyl

prepare it badly, and not to thti:Coal. For, if our

pare their Coal, and send the eteao article to mar
ket instead of bone, slate and 4t,jast as it comes

Wo might remark in this 'connection tha( ..
were convening a few days ago; with two getitle-
Men; who ate large dealers in Coal at Now York,
who infer' red us as a positive fact, , that there has
bees as much Lehigh rejected for bad shipments

Las‘beett of Schuylkill Coat It is" the height, of
folly for any oakto contend that the Lehigh 041,
or veins rather, are more • pure than they are ia:
any other iegiou.
Asittann Coat.,—Since the above was mitten
we hare paid a visit to Ashland and the Miami - toy
Coal district, for the espresslinrpose of becoming
better acquainted with the quality and quantity:of
their Coals, of which so much has been said. 'Yet,
adatitting our admiration of its bes.uty and purity'
and-,ear surprise &tits extent and unifonnity.we
can Only reiterate, what we hare already stateci
reference to this Coat, that it is the purest and np;sl
beallitifati Coat that •sve. Aare ever amt. But the
factjs, * though the Mammoth vein is nniforMly
mote pure : and beautiful io appearance, where
worked, as 14 prescot r above water level, in the
Mehstioy Basin, than in the Schuylkill or Sonth
Basin, it is not so dense and effectual under: a
strong draft as °or. Broad Mountain Coal ior some
purposes. • Yet there Is no doubt, that as they ptn.
coectdownwardas into the depth of their Basins,
whets the Coal becomes wet and condenscdolt
will lie found as hard and heavy as our moat dente
Cosh'
Ashland is 'situated, in the middle, of near the
middle of . th e Second Great Coat field; Where the
specific gravity..of the Coal is uniformly greater
than" at the extremities. At Girardsville, Biro
mileS abova Ashland, the Mullaney Coal has been
found to weigb r 27oo pounds to ..the cubic yard,
which is nearly 100 pounds 'heavier than it tins
beenlfonnd at Hazleton; near the Eastern extretzi
ity oI the same field. This goes to prove . our ar
gument, that the Coal increases in weight towards
the 4ntre instead of the extremities of all the Ba
sins, Xnd as regards purity, where can there beis
puret, Coal found than ai Ashland? The best
Coal in the Lehigh regions would lose by the corh
parh4t,n. comparing the Pottsville with the
Ashland Basins we find a great resemblance: thn
geological position of the veins are the same, arid
the veins themselves appear to be synenymouo
thei q character change in localities as they do
here,, though these changes have not yet been
found to so great an extent there as we have found
themi'in our more extensive orwations, hero; yet
thereiyis no doubt, but that theie changes frotti
good *bad, and from bad:to good, will be fourid
iu that Region, as, elsewhere; indeed the
tionsnf the Mammoth vein, where it is now work
ed inlho immediate vicinity of Ashland, warrant
the assertion. , We give the siie and character of
the Mammoth there, to compare it with the same
vein ie the Lehigh region, and with our own.'
At Col. Connor's Mammoth Colliery, the vein
,rangeils from 25 to 33. feet in thickness. The hot:
torn &pelt is 6 feet thick, pure and gluesy;• r4)ve
which is found from 2 inches to 1 foot of dirty
bone t s ind slate, and frets; 10 to 14 feet of beautifal
Coal..S . Then . comes a bench of strong and bony
Coal, 'overlaid with 1 foot, or : more, of hard roc,
and belie, on which is the top bench, about 6 feet
thick
At Hancroft's Piodeer Colliery, there is a
,per
ceptible change in the quality of the Coal, as also
in its stratification. This Colliery is on the North
dip of. the 31aMrnoth, and Conner's is on the
South;:. Hero we hare first, from 8 to 10 inches of
bony Ooal'on thii bottom, above whieh comes in
rotation, from 8' to 10 feet of OM!, 1 foot dirt and
slate, 1 4 1 to 10 feet Coal, 1 foot dirt and elate, 8 to
10 fee Coal, 2 feet bone and slate, about 12 feet
Coal, Ind ti to'l2 inches bone, slate and Coal on
top. The vein ranges here from 24 to 34 feet 41
th iek4se.
At Rapplier's Locust Run Colliery, which is on .
13:4 or roll, about aluartor of a mile to the
Nortlfpf Connor's the stratification again chang
es. hero it is as follows :--5 feet • bottom Coali
2} feet; hone and slate, 7 to 10 feet Coal, one part
slate abd bone, and T feet soft Coal, which they do
not weirk.
" At Past la Co.'s "Big Mine Run Colliery," about
'one mile to the East of Repplier's, on the same
Basin,ithe vein again changes, and rather for the
better.';, It here contains about 25 feet of Coal in=
termixod with about 2f feet of bone and state.--!
There l!tre other veins worked at Ashland, lying
immediately over the Minilmoth, which, though
they ellange in their color of ashes, are the .sanui
as found in our district with all their peculiarities.,
The` perators on the Mahanoy, are very ear*
ful to extract the'bone and slay from their Coal}
(whiehartleles, it appears, they have in common .
with others, though to a less extent,) before sendi
ing it to market. I counted 24 men and boys 14
one Brooker who were busily employed in picking' :
slate, arid nopains aro spared to extract all imptr• -, ,
rities from their prepared Coal. . It may ensti .
probably 10 cents per ton to take out the &moan&
slate; but ther., they receive from .25 to 50 cents:
per ton ? , for the pure Coal more than can be bait
for impure Coal.
Sonwi' of our Operators are preparing their Coal!
in the hest manner,- and are receiving nearly, if:
4.;
not eqWally as high a price for their Coal as the
O'peraters on Lehigh, and have as great a demand;
as theyTean,supply.
It is difficult and vexatious matter to clean
Coal carefully and thoroughly, (Or the fingers of
the "slate pickers" cannot bo worked by machi-'
eery, acid if any department in the preparation'
of Coal bo slighted, this one is too apt to bo the
first. lint the reputation of our Coal, the ad
vance et price, and the pride of our people, ought!
to bo inducements enough to receive every care
and attention to this peculiar department. •
We hitve received a communication on this sub
ject,whi).4l we are foreed to lay over until next week, '
when we will give it; in connection with tables
awl other statistics, from: the best authoaitics to
substantiate what we have already advanced.. •
