THE SCIIITHEIN CONVENTIONS.
The Conventions of the recent insurgent
States are evidently profoundly sensible that
their action will have a direct and powerful
bearing upon the material interests of the
southern people. No such bodies have
ever met in the slave States. For the first
time since the beginning of the Govern
ment, fundamental principles are embodied
in the organic law, and rights, previously
only practically exercised by a few, are
about to be fairly distributed among the
- mass. And while we of the non-slave
bolding sections are vexing ourselves about
their concerns, these Southern conventions
are gradually but surely applying the true
remedies. One of the first subjects taken up
is the readjustment of the basis of represen
tation—a subject that reaches the delicate
consideration of the future civil and political
status of the colored race. A distingwished
gentleman, writing to the Washington
Chronicle, from Raleigh, North Carolina,
under date of October 4, says :
rhe ba,sis 2/ oepresentatlon is to be the white
population. The meaning of this is that the
western counties will not submit, as hereto
fore, to be dominated by a representation of
the non-voting negroes of the coast. How,
then, eint the people of the State, and of the
whole South, expect that the people of the
free States will submit to the inequality
Every one of the conventions which has yet
assembled has taken this identical cause of
basing representation on white population,
They certainly cannot complain, then, it the
North shall insist upon a reduction of Southern
representation in Congress to the same Stan.
lard, the consequence of which will be to give
the whole of what has heretofore been the
niaveholding States a'representation of sixty
two instead ofninety-live.ll
Precisely the same issue was raised in
The Alabama Convention. Another corre
spondent, long a leading Philadelphia De
mocrat, and now writing powerful letters
on the Union side for this journal, describes
the action of that body on the question of
representation, in a letter dated Montgome
ry, October 4, as follows :
"A two days debate was had upon the sub
ject of representation in the State Legislature,
the struggle being forpolitical power between
North Alabama, where there are few negroes,
and South Alabama, where the freedmen
.greatly outnumher the white population.
.L . 4 or Alabama.waa successful, and the repro-
Eentation in the Legislature was fixed upon
the basis of white population. Perhaps the
decision is wrong in principle, but the friends
of the freedmen rejoice at it, as it tends to
take political preponderance from the hands
of those who were recently the masters of the
negroes and who might be disposed to make
oppressive laws for their regulation."
Although this action has reference only
to State representation, it is easy to see how
it will operate In regard to the future eon_
gressional representation of the South. It
is important also as an eloquent admission
that the Southern politicians are fearfnlAof
the attempt to represent the freedmen with
out giving them their civil rights, at least,
such rights as they enjoy in a State like
Pennsylvania. Thus slowly, but surely,
the good work goes on.
TEE GALA DAY
A few more hours and the ringing of the
hells will announce the advent of the day
for which the firemen of our city have so
anxiously awaited. Many hours of labor
and thousands of dollars have been expend
ed in preparing for it, and during the brief
interval between sunrise and sunset, of
Monday next, Philadelphians will have a
scene presented to their gaze such
as they never before have witness-
cm the line of the parade will send ort
its old men and matrons, young men and
maids, to view the grand display, and from
3mndreds of miles north and south, east
and west, will come strangers to gratify
their curiosity andNive eclat to the occa
sion. The reputation of our Fire Depart
ment is honorable and world-wide, and in
310 other portion of the globe can be found
a body organized for the preservation of
the property of their fellow, citizens from
the ravages of the dreaded element who
are so active and zealous in their public
duties, more erderly and respected in their
private life, and who, amid all the excite
ment through which they are called to
pass, unite their energies and efforts more
_harmoniously. When the fall of Sump
ter rallied around the emblem of free
dom the patriotic men of the North,
the members of the Philadelphia Fire
Department were among the first to an
swer the call of their country; and how
faithfully and gallantly they fought during
the succeeding four years of struggle! The
dead firemen who now rest beneath the
soil of almost every Southern State, of
Antietam and of Gettysburg, and the one
armed veterans, who are among the
first to answer to the signal of
alarm, are sufficient evidence. Brave
soldiers during the war, in time of
peace they are again ready to perform their
duties as firemen, and also to participate M
a festive gathering, such as that which is
announced to take place on Monday.
Nothing has been left undone which could
add to the beauty of the display, and no
event of the past has ever equalled that for
the coming of which every person in the
community is now awaiting.

these patriotic citizens as greenbacks depre

'surpassed by their Joy over distiSt¢r¢ to the

I could not add a more forcible comment to
this letter than the following recent article
from the Baltimore _Daily Ccmimercial, s new
paper of very promising ability :
1. ATIONALIZI24 THE CURRENCY
One of those great changes needful to the
steady advance of the nation, and which the
statesmen of the past years of the republic
almost despaired of ever seeing accomplished,
lies been made almost naturally, at least
easily, by the necessity of the extraordinary
demands upon the treasury to support a four
years, wantr r.
was Where, in the years gone
y. by,
the couy plagued with a so
likle uniform as to cause the unhappy holder
of bank notes to submit to a new levy upon
him at the frontier of every State, some
thing worse than the traveller experiences
in some of the European principalities, the
dire necessities of the war and the brave and
enlightened determination of the late Secre
tary of the Treasury swept away the disability
at one dash, so tkat at last we have a cur
rency good from one end of the country to
the other—an element in facilitating trade and
preserving the country from the panics of the
olden time ; such should cause in every one a
feeling, of continuous exultation in contrast
with the financial troubles of the years gone
by. •
In the new order of events, "wild cats , ' and
the long list of kindred nuisances are no
longer heard of ; and if the reader desires one
remarkable illustration of the change we have
noted, let him scan the following list of na•
tional bank notes received recently in pay
ment for the small sum, comparatively, of one
hundred and six dollars, by a merchant of this
city;

City. New 'York liCity, Boston
Here, now, are twenty-two different banking
institutions, representing about half the num
ber of States, the notes issued widely asunder ;
yet taken without a question; and when we
remember the common interests involved and
associated, the fraternization encouraged by
this sort of mutual trust, we are compelled to
look upon it as an element of strength per
petuating the Union not to be lightly re
garded.
The truth is, when we consider the conflict
ing elements which for more than half a cen
tury threatened the unity of the States, the
diverse interests, the lack of assimilation in
many particulars, the wonder now is that a
rupture was postponed so long. But who can
macula-to now the durability of a Union bound
together by so manynew and stronglies? 'Who,
when things once more settle to Sieir bear
ings, will think of attempting to rend asunder
interests which SO essentially make us one
people?
Again, whilst we may with reason regret
that burden of debt upon the nation which for
many a long year will compel economy and
extraordinary self-denial before it is dis
charged, yet it has been well said that it, too,
is an additional bond of unity; that where

home might indeed be threatened remotely ;
now it would inevitably reach at the first pro
mise Of success, the pockets of the millions,
the strong coffers of the capitalists, causing
every one to tremble for his dearest earthly
valuables. Let us congratulate ourselves, then,
that for the future men will find little encour
agement for sedition or revolt in the ranks of
any class. Saved as by fire, the ordeal through
which we have passed has given us assurance
of the future Such as may well delight all to
contemplate who truly love their country.

this movement should succeed. Mr. Read is a

SHERIDAN'S RIDE.
BY THOMAS BUCHANAN IMAM
Hp, from the South at break of day,
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
The affrighted air with a shudder bore,
Like a herald in haste to the chieftain's door,
The terrible grumble and rumble aria roar,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.
Arid wider still those billows of war
Thundered alons the horizon's bar
And louder yet into Winchester rolled
The roar of that red sea uncontrolled,
Malting the blood of the listener cold,
As he thought of the stake in that fiery fray,
And Sheri an twenty miles away.
But there is a road from Winchester town,
A good, broad highway leading down;
And there, through the flush of the morning
light,
A steed, as black as the steeds of night,
Was seen to pass as with eagle flight;
As if he knew the terrible need,
He stretched away with his utmost speed ;
Hills rose and fell, but his heart was gay,
With Sheridan fifteen miles away.
Still sprung Prom those swift hoofs, thundering
south,
The dust, like the smoke from the cannon's
mouth,
Or the trail of a comet weeping; faster and
faster,
Foreboding to traitors the doom of disaster ;
The heart of the steed and the heart of the
master
Were beating like prisoners assaulting their
walls,
Impatient to be wbere tbe battle-field calls ;
Eivery nerve of the charger was strained to
full play,
With Sheridan only ten miles away.

Like an arrowy Alpine river flowed,
And the landscape sped away behind,

But /o I he i 4 nearing his heart's desire fray,

The colliery of tills Company is located ecar Ply
mouth, Luzerne county, fa., on the Lackawanna
and Bloomsburg Railroad. and is now in active ope
ration, mining and sending to market daily about
two hundred Ash coal
the purest and be, t free-burn
ing White Ash coal in the entire ,iiitkracite. region.
It is bright in fracture, clear of elate and bone, one
ton of which will go as far as one• and-a-quartertons
of the majority o.f coal sent to market. By a very
small outlay the capacity of the mines can be in
creased to c ne hundred thousand tons annually.
One of the advantages of owning stock In this
Company may be stated thus:
Ten shares, at $lO per share, will cost +sloo . oo
7. his will entitle the holder to ten tons of coal
at cost, or about $7 to $7.50 per ton 75 00
Total cost of 10 shares and 10 tons of c0a1....W6 00
Leavin the actual cost of each share, after
deducting ten tons of coal at present price,
#ll 40
41e present price of Coal is Cl 4 per ton. The
saving bv the plan of this Company, therefore,
reduces the actual cost PER of the stock to about

Investment will be seen at a glance. The same ad
vantages apply to one or any number of shares.
The company owns, in fee simple, a large and
valuable tract of land, with an aggregate depth of
near sixty feet of pure coal, containing ten to twelve
millions of tons of coal; also, all the Machinery,
Railroads, Wharves, Cars, Shutes, Screens, Horses,
Mules, Blacksmith and Carpenter Shops, Miners'
Houses, Store, and Stock of Cioods necessary for a
large and increasing business.

From the favorable location of this property, the
markets of all the great centres of demand are rea
dily accessible by various lines of railroad and
canal.
SHARES. AND THE INTERESTS ON SHARE-
Shares of stock, $lO. entitling the shareholder to
ona ton of coal annually and perpetually at its ac
tual cost, which, at present market rates, is a saving
of $6 t o $7 per ton, returning in two or three years his
entire investment, and becoming ever after a per
manent source of revenue to himself anti Children,
While the shares are sold at this low price we can
.chow, by calculation the remarkable fact that each
share secures to the holder the ownership of more than
one hundred and fifty tons of coal in the mines to ht
credit. The title being In fee simple, each share
holder becomes a bona-fide owner al the
.206.0611i1.

In addition to the fee-simple estate, the Company
have a valuable lease, now open on the property
immediately adjoining, and producing Coal,vf the
