WILERE Is PIERCE STREET?—Wo observed last week, that we have a Pierce streetin the Borough of Pottsville. We should like to know where it is—and also who named it Pierce. It is a dis grace to the Borough to' call any street after Franklin Pierce, and it ought to' be changed at once. In the meantime we wish to know who named it Pfermrstreet. It would be as appropri ate to term it Arnold street. We have it Jefferson, an Adams, a Jackson street. Those names pos- Sess u solid ring, and are acceptable.; but we can't, oh, no, we can't stand Pierce street. Shouldn't be surprised if property on that street would de. preciato if the name is continued; to half its va lue. Who gaire us a Pierce street?

" LIL3ZtI Pottsville, July SO, 1858. .. , . 1 The quantity sent by Railroad i this week is 43, , 848 10—•-by Canal 31,234 00—for the week SO,. 082 10 tons. Total by RAlidad 1,188,180 11 tons against 1,298,442 08 . Do. by Canal 526,332 06 against 531,038 08 tons to same' period list! ear. The Canal has nearly catig lcif up to lait year's shipments. By Railroad the deficiency is! over 100,000 tons. The falling off this week is not as great as we anticipated. The reason 'vas simply this lr-There are two elements at work-: r one to chock shipments and lift up the prices a little above the present ruinous rate--and the .other element oppoSed to suspension with a view of keeping prices Gown even if they break up a large portion of the trade. As soon as it was ascertained that many of our Operators intended slackening off a little until the accumulations of Coal at Philadelphia and' New tirk was sold, small orders were received by Amy who had no orders before, and the state of the money market and their necessities are such that they could not resist the temptation, and of course several establishments that had resolved to suspend for a short time continued at work. lk i er long they will continue to receive orders---and how long they will be able to bear up under pres ent prices remains to be tested. Those who; have wharves at Richmond do not suffer to the !Same extent as many of the trade here. Prices on board at Poit Richmond aro maintained better th.n they are , in this region. It iiiShoso who can , not procure an outlet by' Canal, and wh , o are forced to sell their Coal to the Riehmond dealers, that are laboring under the ..greatest difficulties. They have no alternative hut to take what'ls of fered, or stop. Coal tip' Canal Canal has always!coM mended a better price than that sold by Railroad for Port Richmond—and this explains the reason why the shipments by Canal have nearly caught up to those of last year while the supply byßail road remains upwards of 110,000 .tuns behind.— Not a ton of Coal will be sold to go to Port Rich-, mond if it can find a sale or outlet tfy the Canal under the present aspects of the trade. ; The demand will of course continuo prOorate for several weeks yet—and there is no dispo S ition on the part of any of the Operators to push busi ness—even those who have orders partake to a certain extent of the general apathy. We learn that three small class Collieries sus pended, not voluntarily, during the last ten days. We, think however the worst is over, and after the Present Month the demand for Coal will be brisk. The trade still remainS about, 200,000 tons behind I the shipments of last - season. Thci Lebigh'is tho only,region that has • reached the shipments to same period last year—nor has there been any in crease in Bituminous Coal. . The low'price' Of Anthracite shuts out all other Coals except those kinds that must be procured at any price for par_ denier purposes.,. • • The water is falling rapidly in the Canal and rain is wanted badly. • MessrsYCochrac,.Peale h Co., desiro us to state "that they can glye constant employment ,te,abotit fifty additional .Miners and Laborers at their Col liery ut Shamokin. This looks as if the trade was brisk in that quarter. .*: Nine Water for Engine Boiler.. This sobject id'one of great importance to al most every party engaged in the mining of Coal, particularly in this 'Region, where the greatest part of tho water that can bo used conveniently for steam, is strongly impregnated with the most corrosive acids, which not only; destroy the" boil ers in which they are used, but occasions the loss of much time and labor in consequence. Pure spring Water Can but seldotrO-be obtained near the mines in stiffiCient quantities to 'Supply Our extensive- or even a colliery of liibited ex tent, with a sufficiency of Water fur steam purpo ses alone. The bed, of nearly every stream in the region is' painted Yellow with tho corrosive acids of the mines.. Even a drink of pare water can 'Etarcely be obtained when . in the neighbor hood of the Coal formations, and not only .is pure, unadulterated water scarce, but water. of any kind is sometimes very limited, except that 'which comes directly, out of the mines. Where 'pure water can be obtained it frequently. costs large sums of money during the year, to ob tain a sufficient supply. But after all, though a single colliery should pay a thousand dollars per year Jor water rights, it is done. for the sake of economy, since, in the same time probably, a now set of boilers might be destroyed by the corrosive agency Of the mine water as the only alternative, or even the bursting of those boilers be o'ccaeion ed by the same means,. causing an immense de struction of property, if not life itself. I It is perhaps, nut generally known to those of ,our readers who are situated outside of the mi lling districts, that the mine water of which we speak, is as Corrosive 0 it really is. But when we tell them that a bar of iron, several inches in diameter, has been destipyed—oaten through in a few months by the corrosion of this water—they, may imagine how destructive the impregnated. el, mint is, and how unfit for use, in its present state for almost everything. Indeed, we have seen tea kettle in which mine water had been boiled as a beverage, coated inside with the yellow slime merely by a singly operation. Yet it is possible to purify even this Water and make it fit for any arid every use, though as yet no simple and effective moans have boon generally applied. Many expediencies have been resorted to as partial agencies do effect the desired result, and some of them hive partially succeeded. In some places the mine totttcr is pumped up di rect from the bottom of the slope or shaft, or ta fieti train the water level into a largo reservoir prepared expressly for its reception. Into this the flaw_ water from the roofs of the building is conducted with tire exhaust steam of the en . gums: From this pool 'or reservoir, the water should be drained through the natural earth,'or sand should be artificially arranged as fillet through which it shonitpass before being pumped into the boilers. Such preventive against the corrosion - of steam boilers by the use of mine water it econom ical and convenient, but it is not entirely effectual, since but a partial preventive is secured. ; Other modes aro made use of, but none of them saes to be preferable—economy and convenience con sidered—to the one described, when chemicals are not made use of. It is true that a chemist would find•mi difficelty in purifying mine tenter or ex tracting its acids—the matter is -one of economy merely. If this water cannot be purified at a comparatively smallcost, the attempt, even if suc cessful in a degree, would be valueless, since pure water can be bad even 'here for money: Bat should some one be fortunate enough to, invent, or suggest some process by which the matter can be effected, and the water which is pumped direct from the mines be made-pure, or free from cor roliive acids, such an invention or application, would secure a fortune to the fortunate inventor in this region, where so much money is annually spent to procure good water. That such a process- is possible, seems evident from *hat has been done by chemical operation, and the want of such an inve,ntion here, should be suffibient to put the wits of our practiCal men at work. IBut fir p e what we can learn, thorob ability is; that the much needed development has already - heeri made'and put into operation by some of our smart .Tamaqua neighbors, Who: seem to have got ;ahead of us in this - thing as well as Lo comotive building. Yet seriously speaking, we believe that Prof. R. A. Maingay has patented a process for the purification of mine water, and has erected an apparatus at the town of Auden ried, at the mines of Allison...T. B. McCreary and others near JeansVillo, which is now in operation and can be seen'by our Operators at any time. Ills mode; of refining this water is iNcientifie principles; chemical agents aro made. use of as disinfectives, bet in such a' manner, that no diffi culty can be experienced by, any one however un- Skilful in their pm and that too at a small cost. The mode by whiclithis is effected is not for us to explain, since it belongs at present to the pat entee. Our operators have only. to satisfy them! selves of its effectiveness and utility, to ,be bens fitted by its application at their works. The cost erecting'and supplying -the apparatus at first, will be fiom $25 to $l5O according , to the size and extent of the thines, athe quantity of water re nuiredfor steam, and from $5O to $lOO per. year will afterwards be sufficient to keep it in opera tion, which is so great a reduction on the' pres ent cost generally, that no objection can be raised against Maingay'a process on the score of economy.

To produce this pressure It would per a current of air to move at the rate of 1900 feet per minute. *aka .could never be attained by-any kanmonmeana,althtesgh to think about It, have knot managers so tar delu de Con this point as to turn-a 'strong._current of air as they subedit, moving at a rate orat),feet per minute into a reservoir of gas similar to the one just mentioned and were very much disappointed when it" did :not an swer their purpose, The easiest manner ' to remove gas similar placed in milar positions Is to remove the lower parts of the gas first, and never forcing the fresh air into the body of gas above eight or ten feet, or it could be suited to the rate the current was traversing the mine. The dis tance of 6 feet Would be enough In most instances. and too much in mines where the ventilating current was not moving above a rate of 600 feet per minute. This explains the reason why the bodies of gas are so bad In hreak, as the miners-say after they have failed to dislodge certain bodies of gas in similar situations. to some Instances it would be convenient to drive a level drift Into the highest point of the reservoir and thus al low the gas to drain or esespe from its confinement. The following table will be found useful to show the pressure, in pounds, of currents moving at different co locities. With this table and inference to the preceding rule, any quantity of gas may be driven from any part of a Cmi mine, with a proper application, and any omit. nary ventilating current of air: Velocity of ventilating enr- Pressure on a . sqnare fOot or . rent in (caper agnate. • surface in pounds .irotr.. 180 , .0:U nearly.

Fire, Coal mines ought never to be ventilated by spon taneous ventilation, for when the changes of direction of the ventilating current take place it carries tack- .11 the gal that it has been charged with when it first traversed the workings, and receives as large a portion in addition to that which it had previously contained in its second course around the workings, and in this manner an ex plosive mixture might be termed. Hydrogen gas is the lighest substance kaolin. Its specific gravity is .010 air being LOOO. But -rut it is found In mixture in Coal mines it is never below .100. It Is found in mixture, in some instanees. of the same weight, or even heavier than the common air. when sulphurous gases are contained in the mixture. These heaviest mixtures are not of so violent an exploders - character as the.lig ter explosive mixtures; and they are found in all parts ore mine: and in the lower Medi and gangways. where the lighter and more explosivendstaree will not — remain. If one cubic fod •of hydrogen gas is mixed with twelve cubic feet of - air the re will. become explosive. Its explosive pro perties are Brea ;decreased when one volume of hydro gen is mixed with test. and a half of air. There are two gaseous combinations of carbon with hydrogen found in Coal mines. Toner are 111-carburetted hydrogen and proto-carburetted hydrogen. 81-earburetted hydrogen without being mixed with pure air is inexplosive. in this state it shows itself on the flame of a candle,, with it long red flame extending four. five, or wren six inches above the flame. When At 'is mixed with Pure air.so that it ie explosive, it shows with a brighter light, and if proved by a - safety laMp this fiance will aimed fill tho lani - p..hefore it explodes. Prottsearburetted hydrogen, when pure, is inexplosive. but when mixed with eight times Its volume of air it explodes. It shows itself with a bine flame over the flame of a candle or safety lamp. When very pure this flame is scarcely visible until it explodeet'but a constant observer may judge of its presence by the motion of the flame; When the flame is held very near: the gas it in creases in length and assumes_ a narrow and pointed ap-. pearance. on the top of the flame. It appears as if the gas was sucking the name from the wick. In proving the existence of gas that is thought to be very pun,. if a naked light is used to prove it by, great care must be taken to raise the flame steadily, evenly, and-very slow, avoiding to breathe or produce any mu. tionin the air towards the direction of the flame, or a small portion of the gas might be walled on the light and produce an - explosion. When the. gas is very. pure in an elevated reservoir, the whole of the gas does not explode .with one explosion, because the air does not mix up with the gas in a manner as to allow the whole mixture to be fired at once. When an explosion takes place the gas in contact with the air explodes. It dilates and rushes with Violence in a direction from the face of the reserviar in which it is confined, and the -- name produced by the explosion floats over the air, keep ing close to the roof of the mine; the air then rushes in to the face to restore the equilibrium and mixes up. with theeemaining agitated gas. A general reaction of the air takes place and gases which' hare been driven from the reservoir rush back With great force into the reservoir again—if the carried off by the explosion have been sufficient to supply the flame, the flame is brought but by the reaction and explodes the remain ing gases in therreservolr, When a more violent explo don ensues. But If the flame produced by the first ex plosion Is extinguished before the reaction takes places, the - first explosion In many instances is very slight and in no way serious. This is the reason why violent explosions seldom take place in the pitching veins of this Cm! Field, although in some mines large bodies of explosive mixtures are 'found. It is in horizontal mines whbre the most violent explosions occur, becalm() the gas mixes uniformly throughout the whole mine until it attains the firing pointe.when the whole of the mixture explodes at once. Wnen there are goals charged with gas in a horizontal mine, the explosion la apt to be double a in a pitching vein. Very severe explosions of this sort have occurred in England, 'and produced the most alarming conse quences. A detailed system of ventilation can hardly 'be ex pected here. but to show the a solute necessity of venti lation was our main point; and also to show - the likely results where it is riot attended to. It is enough to hint that if the fresh air is 'conducted to the most elevated parts and into the highe- t points of the reservoirs—and that in sufficient qmOitity—that no explosive mixture can remain in a mine. lint the drifts and other narrow places ought not to bo forgotten, as they also require to be ventilated.. ,• The powers employed to prodtice, ° an artificial ventila tion are the furnace, steam jet, water-fall, fans, and a va riety of - blowers. -The power and artidn of each would require separate studjr, and would be too lengthy to de tail here. Mechanical ventilating -power is alwaya ob jectionable as a permament ventilator. A steam Jet, however, acts well as a ventilating power—which in some Instances. is easy to be obtained from' a worn out holler, placed on the fines leading from the bottom working a steam engine. when the escaping heated air would be sufficient to raise steam , which when issued trim a -pipe in' a perpendicular Hue or shaft, would cause a rapid discharge of air from the mine. This and a furnace working in combination have a very powerful effect, and it circumstances are favorable, will discharge a very large quantity of air. A "water-fall (if constant.) produces a very steady cur rent of air.' This power la almost always at band but seldom used. A presiure of water issuing in jets from a pipe would have a similar effect. thave not the - means of Raying any more just now on this subject, my time being limited:but I must add that with proper applica tion and attention any mine Under the most difficult circumstances gm be kept free from the noxious gases either poisonous or explosive. I only, regret that ven tilation is not more gener4ly understood among (gyra tors and managers, Grit they saw the advantages to be derived from good, and those lost.,on ill-ventilation, a knowledge on the subject would be more looked' after.— The only ctinger in a Coil mine that is impossible to guard against is the sudden out-bursts of gas from *blowers," when in some instances thousands of cubic feet are rendered explosive In a few Minutes. Hut these incidents are nearly confined to bituminous Coal mines. They very rarely occur in Anthracite Coal mines. I re gret to say-that the above Is written in a very awkward style, but I hope it will be understood and be of some service to those who may read it. It would be highly gratifying fo the writer to be of some use to his fellows, as it Is every one's duty to fry to contribute something to the good of mankind. If his best efforts fail, there is still the ratlsfacticn felt . of having done our best. Therefore I submit this to your .Veasuro. hoping it 15 worthy a place in your useful ,biarnal.

D. itaxass—Ser:—ln the Afiriefs' Journed of the 12411 inst., I noticed a paragraph stating that a miner had just arrived from Darlington who is said to have stated that the bulk of-the Cannel Coal now mined there is at once converted into Wiping and lubricating oil, itc. As 1, no doubt, am `the person alluded to, you will perhaps allow me to otay.a word onthe subject. The bulk of the Coal is not yet being made into oil, though the calculation is that it will shortly he so. Two large oil factories are tiOw in course of erection, and another is expected to be commenced in a short time, each of which, with furnaces and retorts, are calcu lated to consume about 10 tons of Coal in the 24 hours, yielding from the retorts 10 gallons of oil to the ton, worth at least $5O, at an expense of less than $lO. I have specimens of the oil, and Coal with me, whi - 711 I Wish to show to any person interested In the matter.l besidesgiving any information concerning , the Coal, and '1 Coal - business of the West that may be required, also the prOspects and inducements held forth in the manufac turing of oil from the Cannel Coal. ' I would further state however, that Cannel Coal of a superior quality to Darlington can easily be had and iu a locality much more preferable. Any information concerning the above subject will be readily given by addressing the subscriber at Branch -dale. Schuylkill County. l's. The subscriber has been in the Superintendence of Cannel Coal Millei for a number - of years, and is there fore prepared to give reliable information. • _Yours very respectfully, . „ • . D. AlcDoxeski. The trade In New York continues dull, and :a dealer who writes to as urges the lessening of the quantity sent forward, for a few weeks: D. BANN/Ls—Thar Sir:=The Coal Trade still con. tinues very much depressed, and ruinously low prices are' submitted to, by those who continue to force Cargoes of Coal into thisinarket, that are not sold prior to shipment, and even when orders are obtained, the prices are not I any longer remunerating to the miner. The Coal it ap.i pears is not wanted at present. and will not be until the ansumers wake-up, which they don't seem inclined to dojust now. I Ewe) , they will-get wide awake before the first of October, but that don't do the poor miners any good. The fact is. the only way to cure the evil-ex. feting In the Coil market at present; is for the miners to pnninfielless until It it wanted. The dealers think that lessening the supply would make the consumers come forward promptly and em inence laying in their supplies, - which Is all that is re qulsito to make thn trade move forward briskly, from this until the close of. the season t as every one who gives the matter a moment's reflection mit know that every p and of Anthracite which can posaiblo reach tido this year will bo required.
