BLACK AND.
The Carbonaceous Iron Ores of the Schuyl
kill-Anthracite Begioll.
. The black band irpn - ore of the upper
Red Ash measures remains a fact, notwith
standing the "grave doubts" of Boston and
the decline of the "excitemmt." It has been
proved to exist from a point near Tuscarora
almost to Tremout, but, only in the deep mid
dle basins of the first Coal Field. Its area' is
more contracted, even, than we at first sup
posed and stated. 'lt was reported by, the
original discoverers that this bed Was in the
vicinity of 11, and consequently, it was sup
posed to exist in all our coal fields, except
the Lehigh Basins A vast amount of ex
amination and development has therefore,
>been expended far below its real - position.
But, not without effect, since other,' and per
haps no less important beds of ore have been
brought to light.
have frequently stated that we believed
the black band to exist between J' and IC,
but we have reason to believe that it is even
. higher,' and between L and NI, nearly a 1000
feet above the position originally assigned
and from 1200 to 1500 abcive the 3fammoth
or E. . .
It has perhaps, been fortunate that a diver
sity of opinion exists in this matter since the
result has been - the 'discovery of immense
beds of ore independent of the black band,
from A. to N, and even higher, We stated
that over 24 feet of iron ore existed in the
Anthracite Coal measures :some time ago,
and we Can now endorse the statement em
phatically. -'
The black band in the McGinnes' shaft
holds its own without much change. It varier;
considerably in thickness; heing sometimes
seven feet in thickness,- and.occasionally but
a few inches ; (obeying the laws of compen:
sation, when extraordinarily thick atone place
it is diminished in another, but will average
from thirty inches to three feet. This vein.
•
has now been opened on the surface above
water level, and its characteristics determined,
confirming the true position and appearance
of the ore. 'lt may seem, strange to Tacti
cal geologists that there should be any diffi
culty in this matter, but those who compre
hend :the peculiarity of our contracted and
often inverted strata, will not wonder at the
diversity of opinions, particularly whet' "good
authority" gave the wrong starting point,
add no data has ever been furnished to the
public by the original discovers. 'The riddle
had therefore,-to be solved under great diffi-
The gradual abandonment of our deep
mines in the Red Ash measures, for mines
above water, level in newly developed re
gions, hasprevented access to' such tunnels
and openings as existed in the vicinity of the
black band; while generally, this portion of
the coal measures is less developed than
any other portion: •
The position of this ere is above the vast
formation of heavy aand-stones and conglom
erates mixed with • occasional slates,. and
shales, that. exist to a point near L. Over
this bed a "comparatively thin bed of.sand
stone or eonglomerate exists, sometimes con
- sisting of fine crystals , cemented 'with iron
and sand. But the succeeding measures con
sist of vast beds of slate, shales and indura
ted clays, which in turn, is capped-by a heavy
sand stone, accompanied by conglomerate.
The whole range of this bed of ore is ac
companied by, a belt of country susceptible
of cultivation, and shiciA is marked at pres
ent 'by farms or the relics of former cultiva
tion; while in the vicinity of the out-crops
of the black band rich specimens of brown
'ore are scattered over the surface. This sur
- face ore formerly supplied the forges and
charcoal furnaces, which existed on the wa
ters of the 'Schuylkill north of the Sharp
Mountain. The yield of this surface 'ore is
large and the iron formerly produced in the
old iron works could not be excelled.
. There is no difficulty now in tracing the
black band out- crop. The whole question now
depends upon its size and richness, which .
developments. only can demonstrate. So far
the bed has been generally small and lean at
Its out-crops, but it has invariably increased
in thickness, where opened - and explored in
the deep middle basins. The shallow basins
existing along the out-crops of the main axis
do not result so favorably, 49 far as preient
explorations indicate, and NINE-TENTHR of the
developments have been confined to these
outside basins, or the men - sexes below, the
positicin of the black baud. • -
We may perhaps, atatC a matter which is
• at present only THEORETICAL, but neverthe
less formerly expressed, and having some
foundation in fact. That is, there is some
reason for the belief that this bed of ore, and
perhaps, all our ores in the coal 'measures are
more carbonaCeousin the eastern end et their
strike and more calearions 'in the western,
end.
In addition to the - McGinnes black band, a
new 'black band has been discovered on the
top of K, at Locustdale, in the Mahanoy Re
gion, and a band almost indentical in a coal
bed at or near Middlepert, close to, or per
haps indentieal with K. This black band is
less rich in iron and contains more carbon
than the McGinnes bed. Its richness or
value has not yet been fully ascertained. It
•will, however, produce buttons or drops of
iron 'freely in the fire of a common stove.
- We may now reasonably anticipate the im
portance of a great manufacturing 'district
for this portion of ourAlthracite fields, and
the valleys of the Schuylkill may yet rival
the famonsffistricts of the Tyne,' Wear and
Tees, or the populous and wealthy iron man
ufactnring regions of. Smith Wales, and the
black band districts of . Scotland. But - much
will depend on our enterprise and prudence.
By united efforts we may make the develop
. meat ;of our reaources a source of profit 'to
ourselves, or by supineness and indifference.,
we may allow foreign capital to control our
entire business as it is now controled. " • .
We must combine our efforts if we would
secure prosperity to the community, and in
• dividual success depends on the general pros
perity.
.It is impossible for individuals, un
less they : have vast wealth and influence, to
• secure the facilities now demanded, ' but, by
• combined effarts toy can be secured.
' We are in 'a fair way now to Provide secu
rity to me and . capital--tO establish LAW and
ORDER, and if. we now secure avenues :to
market that can and Will carry: our produc
tions in competition with other regions, we
may hopefully and certainly expect lasting
• prosperity, or 'that which will - be far more
permanent-than in the. past..

During the past year or two we have had.
occasion to condemn the United States Su- .
preme Court for some of its acts. We now
cheerfully commend It for ha refusal to give
permission to file the bill of the rebel State of
Mississippi for an injunction to. restrain the
President and General Ord from executing
the military reconstruction acts recently
passed by Congress. All of the Judges con
curred in this decision, and the unanimous
opinion delivered by' Chief Justice Chase—
.which we regret we cannot publish in con
sequence of its length—sustains the main po-•
altion assumed by the Attoriaek General, that
the Supreme Court cannot interfere with the
President in the performance of a duty which
is purely executive and political. The Chief
Justice does not decide whether in any case.
a proceeding against the President in that .
Court would be recogtized, but !fur contem-- -
porarY, the Philadelphia North
.American,.
thinks it is manifest from the tone of his re
marks that the Court will under all circumL
stances endeavor to avoid even the conaidera
. tion of such a question ; and the tuitoward
compliestiona that might and probably would
ensue from any attempt of the Court to inter
fere with thaTresident In the perfonnancaof
his dudes `are Set forth' even more forcibly
than'ldifieargument of Mr, Stanberry.
Court shows thatif a mandamus were
• issuise4gainst the President, and be macho
refise to obey it, there hino:poWer to. col-A
pril him ta.do so Or if IM,Wers:_to:obey;ind
Mil tail -to enforce a law of. Vortgress,7thfi
Mona; of Representatives might ruesent artk
des -of impeachment against him; ;and the
Senate might impeach and depose . him, - for
that very offence; .widch is, Indeed, a high
mime 'under the Constitution.. The general
principlm, briefly enunciated are worthy to be
placed in every party platform; as a sufficient
answer to the oftrthterated argument of um-
Constitutionality. The Chief Justin,. ,says;
• ! ...m,g,ress is the legislative ,departmind, of the
Government. The President is. the execu
tive departinent. Neither can be restrained
in Its action by the judicial department,
though the acts of both, WHEN 'PERFORISD ;
are, in proper cases, subject to cognizance."
This shows that the questioll'of the uncoil
etitationality of a law can only be reached
in the usual and regular course of judicial
procedure, after the acts authorized have been
performed and a case properly. made up for
the purpose. Itdeserves, therefore, to be - re
membered that the Supreme Court has now
explicity said ihat "a bill praying in injUnC
tion against the execution of an act of, Con- .
gress by the incumbent of the Presidential
office cannot be received, whether it de
scribes him as President, or simply as a citi
zen of a State." This covers both the forms
of the pending application, and is eufficiently•
broad to indicate that the Court has resolute- ; `
ly set its face against the whole movement.
Under this decision it becomes settled law
that no matter whether a. law be "amstitu
tional or not, it .is the bounden duty of the
President to execute it, until. such time as
it may be declared unconstitutional in the re
gular course of judicial proceedings upon
cases occurring after the acts required shall
have been perforated., This, as Mr. Stan
berry stated in his argtfment, and . %
the President's Own view, and he would have
acted upon it in any event.; bat it is gratify
ing to find that the Supreme Court is in ac
cord with him and Congress on this point.
The great dangers liable to arise from any
failure of the President ,to do this, or from
any attempt of the Court to prevent his do
ing it, are forcibly set forth by the Chief
Justice, and will attract general attention.
The Court displays no lese respect for the
dignity, powers and prerogatives of" Co
ngress than for those of the. President, and in
so doing reflects honor on itself..
Zoo appointthent to this position has yet
been made by Governor Geary, hut we have
every reason to believe that it will be made
in a few days. The two prominent candi
dates are. Mr. Joseph Heisler, of Minersville
and COL Jacob G. Frick of Pottsville. A
large majority of the citizens of the County,
directly interested in the re-establishment of
law and order, consider that Mr. Heisler has
more experience in police matters than CoL
Frick, and are favorable to his appointnierit,
while many of_ the rank and file have also,
expressed themselies in favor. of Mr.. Heis
ler's appointment •We have no objection to
Col. Frick, for whom we entertain the high
est respect as a man-and a soldier, except
that he lacks the experience in police
matters which Mr. Heisler possesses. Gov
ernor Geary is in favor of the appointment of
soldiers, all things being Equal, to office, but
he, says that the person who accepts the po
sition of Chief of Police here, must devote
his entire time to its duties, and not engage
in any other business that would occupy any
of his time. The Governor being anxicus to
take care of the rank and file - who were his
late companions=in•arms, will expect the-per
son appointed Chief to place on his force
competent soldiers, and the citizens in differ
ent sections of the County would do well. to
see that the Chief has the names of such'
worthy soldiers placed early, in his hands.
We are in hope that the necessity for the 'con
tinuance of this force will not long continue.
If this hope should be realiied, it would be
no object for any person in business to give it
up to accept the position of Chief. We speak
candidly on this subject, with the kindest
feelings for both candidates and their friends,
and actuated solely by an earnest interest in
the prompt and speedy re-establishment of
law and order in the County.
This election foe Burgess, High Constable,
Treasurer, Councilmen and School Directors,
will be held on Monday, May 6. We urge
the selection for these important local-ofti
cessof the best men, so that the finances may
be kept in good condition; the schools, be
continued effective, and the borough ordi
nances be enforced strictly., In regard to the
latter matter there have been many and just
complaints of their non- enforcement during
the past few years. This year when we are
threatened with a visitation of cholera, it, is es
pecially important athat the •Borough should
receive the attention of a good officer; Besides, •
we desire to make Pottsville a pleasant; attrac
tive place of residence, and we must look to
a more strict enforcement of its regulations
to secure that desideratum. To select a good
ticket it will be found necessary for our citi
zens to attend the primary ward meetings in
full force and act. -Heretofore these meetings
have been neglected-to a great extent, and
evils have arisen in consequence which need
checking. We trust that the Republicans of,
the Borough will make a note of the 'fact
that their ward meetings will be held on
Thursday evening next, 25th Inst.,
.to nomi
nate ward officers and appoint delegates, to a
general convention to nominate Borough of
ficers, which convention wili'meet on Friday
evening, 26th, at . the rooms. of the Union
League, Sitlyman's
Os our Fourth Page to-day will be found
a paper. of P: V. Nasby, showing Ito* the .
Smith proposes to get the'negro vote.. Nasby's
attempt it will be seen, to conciliate his col
ored brethren' per orders from Washington,
was not successful; as but four attended a
meeting he called at the "Confedrit X Roads"
they being induced to be.present by getting
"two dollars apiece and clean shirts."- An
aged son of Africa who _had 'been specially
engaged to•embrace Nasby at a particular
point in the proceedings, positively refused
until an
.old-bill of the "Professor " was
settled. •
Nasby's attempt at cenciliaticn ended he
says, di:matron:3ly, and the late.colored Con-.
servative Convention at Nashville, seems to
have dome off in, thesame way. The pub
lished accounts state That there were Just
four "colored conservatives" present.' One
of the four was a man of notoriously worth
has character; named Williams,- who had
been employed to Blaine the convention,
but he utterly failed to, induce the colored
peOple to have 'anything to do-with it. They.
made an effort to get an intelligent Old col
ored clergyman, who was present as a spec
tator, to take the chair, but he absolutely re
fused, and upon being called upon, made a
- speech in the course of which he very sensi
bly spoke as follows : . •
"He tad iri:hirearly years read in theDecl' aratiorrof
Independence, that all men are created equal : that
they are endowed by their Creator with certain inali
enable rights, and that the Convtitution.was formed to
protect and perpetuate those rights. - Bat, said he.
through all these long years I have been treated as
though I were not a man. But now, the Congress of
the' United :States. 'and . the Legislature of this State,
have invested me with the rights :of Manhood, and
ask Conservative gentlemen here present, I appeal to
their good sense, would they not pronounce me a' fool
and a hypocrite did I employ my newly-obtained rights
in voting against Congress and . against the Legislature!
Gentlemen, I could not do it. . . •
The convention finally adjourned without
transacting any business, and colored con
servatism in Nashville . proied to be a dead
failure. 'No observing man is surprised at
this. The record of the colored man daring.
Rebellion shows that he has a correct appre
elation. of the true direction In which his in
Wrests lie.

The First Defenders of site Xatttmal .
Wedneeday last, April 17, was the sixth anniver-
Ban' of the departure froth Schuylkill Countyof
the first companies—the Washington- Artillerists
.and National-Light Infantry.- On the 18th - they
marched throngh. Baltimore ;With -the'llinggold
Light Artillery of Reading; Logan Guards of
Lewistown and .Allen infantry of Allentown; su.-
rounded by a howling, seceesion mob, which only.
wanted the organization it attained the folldwing
day, to attack the Pennsylvanians. The disposi
tine .wad apparent but the yelling "chivalry" was
riot folly prepared, so quick had'been the response,
of these troops to the- President's urgent oall for
men. The companies named numbt.ring five hun
dred and thirty men, reached Washingtomon the
evening of the 18th, bivonaeked Ili' the Cap:.
itol, the Ust troops to arrive tot the defence .of
Washington: - Of the great importance at that.
Critical juncture, of this . .peompt response, some
idea may be gleaned. from the following extract
'from v Lossing's History of. the Itebeilion. In
speaking at length of the movement, Mr. Leasing,
who is veryoarefnl in his statements, says.:
"It is believed by th e beat informed, that these
troops arrived just in time to awe the oonspira
tore and their friends, and to save the Capitol
from -seizure. It is believed, that . if they had
been delayed twenty-four hours—had they not
been there when, on thecnext day,- a tragedy we
• are . about. to Consider, was performed in the streets.
of Baltimore—the. President and his Cabinet, with
the General-in-Chief, might have been aesassin;
ated or made prisoners, . the archives and build- -
inge of the Government seized, and Jefferson Da
vis proclaimed Dictator from the great eastern
portico of the Capitol, where Mr. Lincoln was-in
augurated only forty-five days before. These
citizen soldiers well deserved • the thanks of the
. - -
nation voted by Congress at, its
.called -Session in
July fullowing,-and a grateful people, will 'ever de
light to do homage to their patriotism.".
Schuylkill County will' ever have reason to. feel
pride, and pleasure that nearly two hundred and
'fifty of her sons,participated in this' movement,
and placed:themselves as a bulviark betwaen the
inaperilled Capitol of • the country and armed
traitors.

Easter.--TO-morrow Easter. • Easter
day is alwaysthe first Sunday after the full moon,
which happens upon or 'next after the' twenty,
first day. of March ; and if the full .moon hap
pens upon a Sunday, Easter-day, .is the Sunday
after. - .ltls the anniversary of our Lord'eresur- -
rection from the dead; and is one of. three great
festivals- of the Christian year—the other . two
being Christmas and' Whitsuntide. .Frotia the
earliest period of Christianity down' to the' pre
sent day, it has always been-celebrated by believ
ers with' the. greatest joy,. and accounted the
Queen of. - Festivals: " In primitive: -times it was
usual for Christians to salute each' other' n the
morning of this day by exclaiming—" Christ. is
risen
.;" to which the person 'Sainted
"Christ has risen - indeed ;" or else, "and bath ap
peared unto Sirdon"—a.custorn that is said to be
- still-retained in the Greek Church'. -
•Though there has never hien any.differen.ce of
ppinion ut the Christian Churches to Why Easter
is kept, there has been a'
.. greit deal as to when it
ought to be kept. It_ is one of the movable
feasts ; that is.; it is not fixed tonne particular day,
like Christmas, Which always occurs on the 25th.
of December—but - moves backwards or forwards'
according. as the hill moon next after the vernal
•
equinox falls nearer or further .from the equinox:.
The - attthority from which -we - quote,. sap
that the. paechal -controversy which ,for -time
,divided christendom; grew out -of a diversity
of custom. The. . ehurchetr of.. Asia Minor,
among whom were many . . Judaizing Chrhttians
kept, their:paschal feast on: he same day as the
Jews . kept • their.-passover,. it. on the 14th of.
,Nisan,"-the. Jewith month . corresponding to our.
:March or April. But the churches of the West.,
recommending that-our' lord's resurrection to*
• place on the Sunder, kept their festival on the
Sunday: following the . 14th:Of .Nisan. ...13y this
Means - theyhoped-not-onlytettommemorate • the .
resurrection on- the day on which' it actually . oc,
=red, bttmlso ID - distinguish -themselvett more
• effectually from. the Jews. . • • .
At thebegimiitigof the font-0i century mattershad gone to such la length, that the Emneror.
:Constantine thought. it hie duty to take steps to
allay the controversy, and to insure uniformity or.
-practice forthe future. For this piarpose, he, got a.
canon passed'-in' the great (Ecumenical Connell
of • Nice (A, D. 325): That everywhere the great
feast of Easter should be oliserved-upotione and
the same day ; and that.not the' day.of the Jew
ish pasanver, but, as had_been generally ob
serged, tip= the Senday. fterwards. And. to
prevent all - future dispute's as •to the time,. the
following rides were also laid down : • :
.1.. 'That the.twenty-first day of March ahall
accounted the vernal • - .
• . 2.. 'That. the- full moon happening upon or
'next after the twenty-ilrat of March, shall he

rra-Pooaroart Or Mum- xr.Seutirmstit. Hari. :—The
Super . .. Phosphate of -Lime- I purchased .of you last.
Spring proves very satisfactory. Indeed, from having
ptuolussed ante's° tinder the name of Phosphates elev.
eral times before and they. having, proven almost en.
tirely I$ T, Drat least having prOduced results: in no
'sense proportionate to their coat. I bad come, to regard
all articles sold tmder the name of Phosphate is a catch'
penny, calculated only to filch the.pockedrof the hard
earnings - of the simple minded agriculturist and Ail •
those of the , spectilatitig. manufacturer and dealer.—
But throtigh• the- influence' of a-friend, accompanied
with the knowledge that- your Super-Phosphate con
tained,PLUTlAll GUANO AID "GROGND BONMS, both of
them the' very beet of fertilitera,l was induced _to
purchase a ton of yours. - I• need it up • on my oats, fle- •
tatoes and corn. I sowed two pieces of ground with
oats, laying side by aide, the flat having been heavily ,
manured the year . previous for turnips_opon which I
put nothing. The last bad been sown with corn for fod
der the two previous years. with only light dressing
of Plaster the last year, and on it I sowed the Over-
Phosuhates.. and at the time of harvesting 'here was
but little difference in either the " straw oroate. The
potatoe ground • upon, which I need it had been 'culti
vated in 'meta the year before, - and they were much
superior:to those that I planted on heavy clover. sod
withe very heavy - dm-sing of barn yard manure...-
With corn I put it in the hill, and I am satisfied that •
have not bad so good a crop in ten ,years.„ ,
•The contrast between .yonts • sad , others was very '
well exemplified hi the . same field by mY. o tderthlC
' half ton of your Phosphate to apply to a turnip crop,
and the parties sent me either by design or mistake an
article of another manufacture, and it provettas en- •
tirelytrxer - sessoald-that much rtntrsarm.--I am eat. -
!stied that if yen intend to make-as good 'Cu article as
