"•Elect our candidate," cry the Buchanan men,
"or we - will dissolve the Union." "Elect me,"
2 , 3)3 Mr. Fillmore, "or the South won't submit,
and wR,I dissolve ihe Union." "Whether Col.
Fremont ismlected or not," say the Republicans,
"THIS UNION MUST AND SHALL BE PRE
SERVED!"
Tne Tescnens FOC Fattiosv,.—CoL Fremont
commenced his career as a Teacher of youth—and
we are glad to find that the large mass of Teachers
throughout the United States taking a lively in
terest in his success. With the great, miss of the
Clergy and the Teachers of the youtli'uf the coun
try on our side, we also 'believe that; we have
truth, justice and - the aid of Providence.. Frc

ANOVIEP. ACCESSION TO THE RANKS OP FRE
•moNT.—Ttio Lchigyalley Times, the organ of
the Order 4.4.7nited American Mechanics, • has
fallen intone, and is battling nobly . for the prin
ciples of Freedom expressed in the .Republican
Platform; and for its standard bearer -John C.
Fremont The contest is becoming rapidly nar
rowed down to but two parties—the opponents of
the Pierce Administration, with its iniquitous Bor
der Ruffian', acts, and its supporters. Like the
Times, the free press of, the .North is en masse,
flying the flag pf Freedom ; the people are rally
ing by thousknds,te that standard. Party predilec
tions arc for the time laid quietly,aside, 'and every
exertion ii being' made to ensure a glorious victo
ry for Freedom and Fremont.
COL. PAXTON Of Catawissa, is 'a 'gentleman,
widely and popularly known throughout Pennsyl
vania. The interest which he has unceasingly
evinced \ in important railway improvements, cal
culated to advance tho prosperity of the - State,
and the &ct that the Catawisia Railwayis indebt
ed in a great measure, to the Colonel's individual
exertions for existence, have placed him in a
proud poSition in the estimation of every citizen
who has the welfare and progress of the "Old
Keystone Sl.i.te" at heart. With the 'whistle of
the locomotive, resounding amid the.hpls which
surround the venerable town of Cataviiesa—a
proof of the iniMitable energy :of the sturdy
Colonel—we trust that he may long be spared to
tender those hospitalities, at his neat residence,
which at his hands are peculiarlynceeptable. from
to graceful and hearty manner in which they are
offered.
L, we learn from - Ca
member of the Conattee of Correspondence' to
invite speakers to the Shamokin Fillmore meeting,
has declared himself strongly and emphatically,
for•Fillutore and Donaldson.,--Jldrottian, Aug. y.
This must be an error. During the present
session of Congress, We have communicated fre
quently with our woqr representative, and . feel
'confident that he has riOt yet committed himself to
either Fillmore er Fremont. ,The position of the
Northern oplittsition Congressional representatives
on the question of the opposition Presidential
candidates is peculiar, and it would at tbii time,
be imprudent for any to commit thernslvett decid
edly fur either candidate. We are assured in this
connectitm,that Mr. Campbell has authorized no
Person to / declare him'ex - clusively, either a Fill
more or Fremont man. Up to this period of the
contest, ho has been warmly in favor of an union
of the opposition of Penniylvania; on one electoral
I tickeb- We think that ho still occupies that posi
i tion.
• A CEHVATE OF CC/FRAGE FROM BULLY
BlL.OoKS.—Duelling at the best, is more an evi
*iice ot•cowardice than true bravery, and we
think in the South as well as North is falling in-
to merited contempt and ridicule. Brooks gave
it a fillip ill that direction by hacking out of his
'challenge to Mr. Burlingame. Two Richmond
editors met last iveek; at Bladeuburgh. Each
discharged a pistol without hurtinglhe other, and
then they shook hands and were fr,icnds - again.—
Tofmuke thelbing more ludicrous,r P. S. Brooks
hithielf with his friend EdMundson, gave the ed
itors a certificate that they had ':well approied
their courage anil honor." And such a certificate .
from Mr. Brooks seems to have satisEcil.both the
duellists and their seconds ! thiess the whole of
them, laughed heartily, .after they left the
ground. If they did nst thee, we know some
body that does now, with the editor of the New
York Commercia:.
DIZEI
As far as the m=non• the ticket, are concerned,
we incline to the opinion that they Fo as fair as
that party, at thisr.ystime, t eould select. Bernardi
Reilly, one of the candidates for 'Associate Judge,
.is a Roman Catholic, and one of the best of that
laminated as he is, however, ou - the prin
ciple of concentrating the vote ofthat sect onihim ,

THE COAL TRADE.
aKt.eff
Pottsville; Lugo .0 18 ; 1858.
The quantity tent by Ra'.irond this'week is 51,-
727 12 tons—by Canal 30,322 00—for the, week
82,049 1S tons. This is an increase of 10,237 11 I
tons over the shipMents of last week;. and 3,5631
14.1ess Can the - corresponding week last year.--
Totidby Railroad 1,333,244 01 against 1,470,324
01 tons—Do.by Canai 012,000 17 against 021,-
122 16 tons to same period last year.
• With the trade both from the Schuylkill and
Lehigh regions, half a million of tons behind the_
business of last year arthis period, and with but
three months certain work before its, it behooves
consumers in the Eastern markets to keep a sharp
look outomd see that they are'not -caught nap
ping. The deficiency which now exists cannol
by any possibility be made up this_ season, and
after the Ist proximo, When '
,'an in the
rates of toll on the liMuling Railroad, Schuylkill
Navigation, Lehigh And Lackawanna lines will
take place, and the - detnant i l fur,Coal be more ac
tive, consumers will pe'reeisCe—when too- late to
remedy it— the grave error they commit in not
laying in their supplies, when, the prices are as
low as they can possibly become this season.—
The press of the cities should urge their readers
to lay in their supplies for Fall and Winter use at
once. Such a course would be the most economi
cal that the consumers could adopt, and enable
dealers to lay in fresh supplies, for the wants of
those who are only able to purchase 113 their ne
cessities require. Of one fact consumers -May
rest assured that the prices Of Coal will not be
come any lower; that after the let proximo, they
- will in all probability advance,. and continue ad
vatting as the demand increases, and the inabit.
ity to make up the large deficiency is fully real
ized.. .
In ordir to show conclusively, that the de
ficiency, cannot by 'any possibility, be made up
between this and December, we annex- the follow
ing statement of the weekly shipments.of Conlin
1855, from this and the Lehigh regions: The
probability of exceeding, or even coming up to
those shipments' is exceedingly protdematicid :

VENTIL:VEION OP MINES.—We nre I in receipt of

thorough and effectual yentilatiod of the mines oc
.this Itegcon, is very properly attracting much

which condtices to an - adoption of IniproveMents
in this important matter; cannot. be too earnestly
considered. In this spirit we are glad to know,
Mr. Walton's important papers on Ventila

king regarded your paper as the ()Aid journal ," , A•
the Coarirride in your region, and your efforts as
always designed - to promote its true interest, but
unfortunately for all concerned, you have not al
ways been able to control them, or the present
state of things would not now exist: It is-self..
'evident that the•traile is dull, and nearly all con
cerned in .it have become Oiscotiraged. This
'ought not so to he. And why is it Coal is now
like bread, a necessary article. Evtry body must
have it, and it should remunerate those who are
engaged in the production and Pahl of it. Other
articles not so riecesSary yield this, and we think
the Coal would but for two or three causes that
might, and we hope will be remedied. , ,
FirPt, And one of the, greatest causes, (because
it has a controlling influence) is the determination
on the part of the producers to-force
and
upon
their customers before it is wanted! and without
orders. When the present season lopened, thro
was but-little Coal on hand, the severity of the
winter raving consumed it all—early contracts
were made with your - people, at what they con- •
sidered fair remunerating prices. Prices of Coal
here were based, upon those rates of iiurchasei-and
our bpsiness prom - sed a fair return for our labile ;
and investment, but it was ,soon ascertained that'
the preparations for supply were,farJn advan'e t e
the early demand, and ns a conseqUence, cargoes
were soon round at our docks seeking purebaserig.
These were offered at whatever price they would
bring, and the market became unsittled, with .1(
downward tendency—retail prices .soon gavo.wai;
—the public learned these facts, and soon clinclu!,
ded not to lay in their usual supplieS until late iii
the season. Now the prices are ruinously '1(175
and the producer cannot fail to perceivle it.
then in the name of reason, do they pursue so buil
tidal a course of policy when it only tends to pro..
duce 5 Still worse state of things? Tied they curi
tailed shiptuents a little at the proper. time, wq
should not now bo buying Coal to be stacked in= our yards for a month or six weeks Ito come ; and,
your people would have been in better spirits A :

ser is not at hand, it is' 'customary for some of
your Coal Imien to engage a number, of car Men
to ,ell'out:of the boat, by the single t'on, at about
cargo prices, thereby converting our rivers into
Coal yards, for which they pay only a nominal
-rent as oh l arfagc and doekage, and Onus after sel

from us inithis untiusiness like and;underhanded
way. This is not - iin occasional but one of 'every

we haie no doubt at least a dot'en boats 'are
discharging their Coal in that way. iNow all this
is calculated to injure the trade both here and in

,A NEW YORK DEALER
several hundred thousand tons--and there will be
a perfect rush for Coal when.tue late to receive it.
Besides, both Coulon& freight will. run up at a
two-fold rate to what they 'would purchaseri
came forward at an earlier period. , •
As regards not taking Schuylkill county Coal,
all we have to say is, that New York cannot do
without it—they must have it, and will -have it
oven at a dollar per ton more than for Coal from
any other Region. Dealers always . hiep for sale
the kinds of Coal that their consumers require.—
) The practice of sending Cual to New Yoik Unsold
ought - howerer, to be discontinued by Operators.
It is unjust to dealers in that market, occusiou
lug distrost,whieb recoils disastrously on the wel•
) fare of the trade. The true interests of this region,
demand that every pound of Coal which geetrto
tide-water, should be contracted for. This places
the market in 'a healthy condition, yields the ope
rator a fair remuneration for his labor, and pre
vents sales at. prices which are not.only disastrous
to the producer, but which affect the dealer's
abroad. This should' be reformed. Until it is,
our operators will be ever at the merCy'Of a fine
tooting market, white: dealers abroad . will cease
to order more Coal than'what they actually need
for the time. •
MINE Warift.----We have had frequent occasion ,
to call the , attention of Coal Operators, to a sub.!
ject of vast importance to them. We allude to the
purifying oflline Water, as introduced by Messrs.
Maingay end Trucks, which we are happy to say,
has - been successfully tested on a large ic.sie by J.
B. McCreary, Esq., leaving no doubt as to the
great benefit its more general introduction is cal
culated to confer on a community, which hitherto
has made 'enormous outlays of money and caused
much Waste of time by the destructive qualities of
the mine water in eating away boilers, frequently
within three mouths after their erection. The
water as purified (a sample of which wo have in
our office,) is entirely free from acids arid other
deleterious matter. It is soft—equal to rain wat
er or condensed steam. When used with soap it
lathers even better than with rain water, a sure
evidence that the, water is what it purports to be.
Purified mine waterfit for the use of boilers—is as
a drinkits taste is agreeable—far' preferable to
that from hundreds of our wells. In short, we do
not know of any improvement more sere of con-'
ferring a lasting, pecuniary benefit to the Coal
regions of this and other States than the Maingay
and Trucks' Aline Water Purifying Apparatus,
as also to those manufacturers \ who are troubled
with water passing over a lime stone dfktrict—
which water is equally destructive to boilers, al
though In another way. As these gentlemen's
charges for its use are moderate, the cost of' erec
tion little,, and the annual expense trifling, we
sincerely hope ere long, to Witness its:general in
troduction. The subjoined fetter, emanating from
a gentleman so well knocin in this community for
his integrity' and truthfuluess as J. 13. McCreary,
Esq., will fully bear us out in the 'correctness of
'our remarks. Ills certificate vouching fur its com
plete success at his Colliery, must convince the
must sceptical, and make them • anxious to avail
themselves of.a, process certain of saving thou

- TREMONT, August. 11, 1856.
•
MEASItS. TRUCKS & MAINGAY:-I have been
using your mine water purifying! apparatus, Tor
the ast 'several weeks, at the Colliery of J. B.
McCreary & CM,'Audenried, Carbon c.may, Pa.,
and am happy to inform you, that so far, it boo
taken the acid's out of the mine water, amtren
&red it about us soft as lain water; and further,
I do not believe that the mine water will be inju
rious to the boilers After it has passed through the
purifying process, which thus far hao bee'n attend
ed with but trifling expense, and ivill undoubtedly
be a great saving to the boiler's.
Very repeetfully, .
Joust B. McCar..A.rty.
As per advertisment, Messrs. Alaingai and
Trucks will remain some weeks at the Pottbvillei!
House, where they _will be happy to Bee and give
explanations to those Openttorilwho are desirous
of preventing the destruction of their property

Win. Mines. Jr., & Co.'s Hickory Col
• Herr, St. Clair. .
This is Ono of the oldest Collieries in Schuylkill
'County, and one of the most successful. It has
been worked regularly for more than twenty years,
mosCof the time by Mr. Pinkerton, Inn recently
by Messrs. Milnes a Co. largo business bus al
ways been carried on at this place, and ,large
quantities of the-, purest of the black diamonds
sent to market:
It is on the First Basin south of the Mille Hill,
and on the same pitch that runs down into the
"Carey_Shaft," at the Mammoth Shaft Colliery.
The•vein runs frcira 20 to 25 feet in thickness. and
is pectiliarlY free from hone and slate. It turns
out n vast,quantitrof Coal and is ecemetnically
mined—very little being left that is not available.
On - thii Colliery there is a shaft 100 feet deep,
up which the Coal from the-water level is hoisted
to the dumps over the breaker,.; and a slope 200
yards deep, from which the greatest part of the
Coal is taken at present on a dip eft aliuut 35 de
grees. Seven steam engines :are mll4e use. of for
hoisting, pumping, breaking and sertiTMing.-aver
aging 161 horse power, as follows :—Une 60 horse
pumping, ono 40 horse hoisting, ti4 l o 20 horse
hoisting and' breaking, one 15 -and 'one 6 horse
power fur screening. With this machinery the
nein expect to mine and send 120,000 tons of Coal
to market during the present year, and, as they are
not limited by the, demand for Coal, their amount,
if no uriforseen difficulties - occur, can be mined
and prepared atithis Colliery yearly, if net is,'much
larger amount.
cWe cannot say that the "Hickory Coal," or the
oal mined from the Hickory Colliery, is better or
purer ihan.that mindd from theitratne vein in other
localities where worked, in the same and next
basins by Messrs." Kirk & Baum, G..W. Snyder,
Win. 11. Johns and G. S. Rcpplicr, but we do say
that his Coal is better prepared than most of the
Coal new sent to market,-Team whatever region.—
In fact, they have facilities for Preparing, which
none or few others possess, in \ the shape of ma
chinery for dividing - the. impure parts of the Coal
from the pure, and separating the wet Coal which
is generally mined front gangways. headings, &c.,
from the rest of the Coal coming from the same
mine. ;Fur this purpose. they have erected a new
and distinct preparing establishment at great ex
pense, fur the express intention of cleaning the
Coal thoroughly and completely ; tand in addition
to this, they have other screening and separating
machinery at the bottom of the salutes, to ensure
to his customers good, pure and clean Coal. This
they have succeeded in doing, nt least as- far as it
lies in ingenuity, • expense hod ears to do as we
have frequently heard the Philadelphia and New.
York dealers say that the Hinery Coal was bet
ter prepared than most of the Coal now sent to
market., But they al=e say; that. they have to pay
much hearer for it. since Messrs. Manes &To.;
are always full of. orders, yet they are always
willing to pay a gao , l'price for a cool article.—
Their customers once supplied with a clean, pure
Coal, that lea veteno'cinders, embers, Ai., are
ways ready for more of 'the same sort. Thus,
while the extra cost-of preparing-might run from
3 610 cents per ton. it•lwings from 20 to 30 cents
per ton in the market Mere than an inferior article.
The investments in this Colliery.establislimeet
are about $140,000. Thu number of men employed,
'about.4oo. The rple, , are strict, pay rf., , ;tilat, and
sober, temperate then always employed in. prefer
mice. to all ethers.'
•
The Mammoth vein is here • generally 2:1 feet
thick, :IR 410 average, and the ••Sevn Foot Vein,"
which is also worked, is about 3 leer inick—Laver
aging 31 feetiof Coal.
The "Furnace" style Of--veilt-ilation ig made use
of and S o far •has proved effectual. For the use of
the hoileng Wolf Creek water. from the hydrant s
id made use of at the rate of $3 50 per horse pow
er—making an outlay of nearly a7OO per 'yet= for
'water alone.
