Let all the sainti named in "Butler's Lives of the Saint's," rise uoagain, and unite 'their marvel-working powers, and one ton of coal will beat them all! Let-the saints walk, after decapitation, with their heads comforta bly under their arms—let them cross seas •on their outspread mantles--let them call up plagues on heretics, and call down blessings on priests; See visions of: virgins, and dream dreams of St. Dominic and St. Princes; the whole of these' saintly dreamings are every day surpassed by the realities of the results of coal. One day's guns will plague'the her etics more than-a thoutiand paints. One box of peel pens will conjure up. more visions be fore a •thousand eyes, and that for year after year, than all the ramites and Anchorites ever beheld' in cave, cell, or chapel.

If a small coal field has effected so much in England, _what , may we not expect , on our - posterity, from those vast basins shown.by-Lyell in the get). logical map' of the 'United States? Glanc ing over the three huge coalfields' of the States, each surrounded II its -ring of old red sandstone, like patches of bitumen floating on clayey pools, we may call to mind the proph esy of Berkely as• to the westward course of empire. Some of the numerous goal-field-9a America are equal in extent to all England; and their dark seams inlay the landscape es with ebony, and impart to it its most striking peculiarity of feature.

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE. COAL TRADE. 4-All doubt is removed in regard to putting the plan of Jonw Tucxes, Esq., for the dm- Ough organization of the Coal Trade into op. oration: A determination , is expressed by almost all-the operators krtgiret ita fair trial. Mr. TUcker will thereforett the .commence rnent of the coming shipping season, assume the head of the Coal ItssoCiathin, and con.• lid the supply, so that:l4,4i'; Coal cannot fall below a paying price to the •operstor. The plan as arranged, wilteditiinly' inure to the benefit of the Zutirettegion, irhile to the eon• surner it will not advance the price of Costa single penny per ton. Under the system which at last is ;to be broug h t into one of the moat important branches of general trade, we anticipate the happiest results. Marty grave errois haaheretofore been coagnitted.. With at stated periods an illy supplied market,.and annual increasing consumption, what has been the policy of. the Ilfgion? Take the year jest passed foeinstancie. At the dull season, when a reduction in the supply of 50,000 tons—which eCtild have been easily borne by the entire RegiOn--wonli have regulited the , trade maintained priees es-• tablished confidence, and saved to our ow calor& half a minion of dollars, then thelui cidal Policy which has too lOng beldoindiSpu• fed sway in our midst, revelled in the distress it had the power: to inflict.

BANN/Al—Dear Sirt-By Mr. Wit. der's instruction, I send you a istatement of work done on our Railroad during the past year, commencing at the lower end of the road. We have put' rip a new stone Office, 50 by 30 feet, two-stories hie!, so that the old office will be for the exclusive ' use of the scale o ffi cers; new aeigh Scales; new Csir penter shop, with lubber shed and dry house, i and one new tenant house: There has btun 10,698 feet of track laid with new rail on new guiding, and 1,386 feet of 'old rail - on new grading, the principal part of which is for the new scale; two new inane and wood bridges, to allow township coal to pass under Railroad, and one large arched stone culvert over Bea ver creek. Wi have commenced grading the • re-location of main road through Payne's meadow, which will done and laid this: year, and will atraigh n the road for a die -6 -tans of 2009 feet—i mile further up mad. Above Beck's tavern we are building two large dares to supply ! the road and the shops at Cressona with a sufficient quantity of water all the year; also twe new water stations, one at the ahop, and one iat Germantown; there has been re-laid from Ciermantown to the jenction,lbelow Weet Woods) 14,654 feet of track. with new 601 b rail. On the West Branch division, extending from Wsit Woods to Mine Hill 64, we have laid 11,018 feet of new track, andrelaill 1,554 feet of old track. The new track is as follows :—a new lateral to Littlehale's new Colliery; 3,000 feet long, a third track at foot 'of steep grade above Mi nersville' and the extension of Messrs . Sear's, Adams',Miller's, Spencer's, Brace's and Hoff man & Well's laterals. On the Ashland ex tension there has been laid from the M.,Hill Gip to junetiOit'of !Peaked Mt.

On the Ashland extension south of Summit,-two new tenant houses and one new water station; there has been laid 2,568 feet of new track from Head of Upper Platten° Summit - on Broad Mountain ; new water stations at each Plane house, and one new carpenter shop. •At the commencement of last year the machinery of both planes ' was taken out, altered and rebuilt in' a tho rough manner, and was found to be fully cern - - petent to transport all the Coal that was mined. During thepresent suspension of the Ash land trade, the Engines will be put is order ,with considerable additions made, which will still further increase their poirer, and enable them to hoist all that may be required. At the foot of lower Plane, two, new,tenant houses have been erected, and the locomotive house enlargeti,;rith 1,200 feet of new track laid.— The second track towards Ashland for a dili gence of 3,833 feet has been laid With 6011) rail. The trestling at Locust Run Branch is now being filled np with' coal dirt fetter the breakers, and.will be finished this year A new branch road from foot of lower plane to head of Big run, 51 miles long, has been lo• catcd and is now under centred,. and will" be finished this season in time to transport Coal from the new Breaker erected by Mr. Heilner, west of Ashland. , On4he west - West Branch Railroad front the junction, (5 miles above Schuyl.
