What Baltimore, Ihen, want, is the com maud of anthracite coal, at all seasons of the yeaf, nt the lowest figure. Thi, it is grati fying to state, will ba secured by the com pletiort of the Susquehanna Itailroad Through that Improvement, connecting, a it doei, with Ihe York and Cumberland and the Baltimore and Susquehanna, we reach, at Sunbury, the most extensive deposit of anthracite coal in Pennsylvania. Thia re source, so conveniently adapted to the trade of the road, warrants the expectation that Baltimore may become as large a coal mar ket as any other In the Union. The natural destination of the Schuylkill coal is Philadelphia. The natural destination of the Wyoming roal is the lakes of the Northwest and New York city. The natural destination of the coal of Ihe Shamokin region is Baltimore and the South ern Atlantic cities. Providence, in the diwlribution of blesMngs, could not have placed these leading com mercial emporiums, with regard to this min eral lieajure, on more equal footing than they are present. Notwithstanding this, Philadelphia has maintained the supremacy in Ihe trade. She has been, in fact, the great coal diatiibutor of the country. Her wharf accommodations, for this trade alone, cover forty acres of ground. Her coal lon nago alone, independent of that which is consumed by her own citizens., to meet the wants of a populous seaboard, thnt Baltimore will, in part,' hereafter supply, is greater than the entire lonnngo of the port of New York. This grand and imposing rcsnlt has been attained by the construction of the Reading Railroad and the Schuylkill Canal parallel improvements that penetrate the mines of Schuylkill. The Susquehanna road, in connexion with the Susquehanna Canal, will give Baltimore the same facilities for the transportation of coal that Philadelphia now enjoys. These carrying companies lead to the (.hipping point of the Shamokin mines. When they are completed, Baltimore will become as great, if not a greater, coal entrepot than that city; for it will have at the same time, the advan tage of Ihe trade of our own Cumberland region. Our Canton wharves will then be eroded, and we will send forth a fleet of Vessels with coal that may vie with those from Port Richmond. These vessels, as they da now for Philadelphia, will bring us return cargoes, and thus will our commerce be greatly augmented through this trade. Our manufactures, too, will then be in a coudition to cope more successfully with those of our sister city. ' While the realization of this picture will be of almost incalculable advantage to Balti more, it will also djvelope the lands of the middle region to such an extent that their owners cannot fail to reap a rich harvest. Some idea of the value of coal lands, in working condition, may be formed by refer ence to several tracts in Schuylkill county. Tho Wetherill estate, from five collieries, receives annually about 880,000. Spangler & Co., on 500 acres, get 825,000 ; Brock, on 120 acres, $19,000; and Wadswortb, on 200 acres, $25.000 ; and yet these lands could have been had, a few year back, for a mere trifle. These results appear almost incredi ble. They ere not, however, we are in formed, beyond the mark. If incomes so enormous are derived from coal property in the Schuylkill regions, where the veins ate mostly below water level, it is difficult to estimate the revenue that will be derived from the Shamokin coalfield whose veins are not only above water level at least enough to supply generations yet to come but they are more accessible in other le aped. But the Susquehanna railway will not be alone dependent on coal tonnage for support though there is every reason to believe that there will be sufficient of that article to tax it to its full capacity. It will connect, by the shortest possible route, the railroads of New York, leading to the lakes of the North( with those ef Maryland and Pennsylvania, leading to Baltimore and Philadelphia. By these connections, it will beoome one of the most profitable thoroughfares of, Ihe Union, and will, apart fiom the coal trade, contribute much to the growth of our city. With these facts before us, it is a matter for congratulation that Baltimoreans bave extendod encouragement to the Susquehanna railway, and thaf ihey are turning their at. tenlion seriously to the mines of Shamokin for they are identical interests from whence will flow not only abundant revenue, but ihe means of still greater prosperity to Balli more Baltimore Patriot.

SUBSCRIPTION TO THE SlKiVFHAIVK A. RAILROAD. The subscription of $25,000 by this bo rough to the stock of the Susquehanna rail road Company, which had certain condi- lions thereunto annexed, was made absolute, at a meeting of Ihe Councils, on Monday evening last, when the conditions were ri" scimled. In regard to the creat importance of this road, as well as its ultimate success The Lycoming Gazette denies that ' the Commissioners of Lycoming county re fused to comply with their subscription of 200,000 to tne Sunbury V Erie Railroad, as long a James Armstrong was in the board, but it eems thete are other objec tions is appears by the following from the Gazette. The County Commissioners have made no objection to the selection of Mr. Arm strong as a Director of the Company, and unless they can urge a more valid reason for not complying with their subscription, will undoubtedly tav "P. civing the county bonds for $200,000. The terms imposed on the county by the resolutions in regard to a county subscription, appro ved ol by the Commissioners in ftiarcn, . ttr. .1 1S:2, are simply outrageous, wnetner those resolutions will render compulsory t he signing of the counly bonds for $200,000 a question which we cannot determine. Since the above was in type we received the following note signed by the Commis sioners of Lycoming County in regard to Ihis matter, which we cheerfully publish as an act of justice to Mr. Armstrong. We have already said that we entertain for Mr. Armstrong, personally, the highest regard, and are therefore pleased to make this cor rection. Our informant we presume, was misinformed, for we know he would not, ntentionally, deceive us.

This is a new coal company about orga nizing and going into operation in the Shamokin coal region. These lands are located in the neighborhood ot Shamokin. Wo copy the following in relation to this company from the Baltimore American; We learn that the 60,000 shares of slock, lorming a capital of Jf375,0U0, only 9000 shares remain to be taken, when Ihe compa ny will organise, and it is expected to go into active operation next spring. The York (Pa.) Gazette, in alludiua to the Shamokin Coal mines, and Ihe formation of this Company, for developing abundant sup plies and cheapening the piioe of Anthracite Coal in Baltimore, says: "Several of oor citizens already have Inter ests in lhat rich and interesting region, and others are about makina investments in the coal banks there ; banks which never can fail, and which will pay best when hardest run. tn ronsequence of the completion of the North Branch Canal te the State ol New York, the greater portion of Ihe coal from the Wyoming region will hereafter find its way to Buffalo and the lakes, where anthra- oite roal is in good demand and commands normons prices. This recionof the Susque hanna, Baltimore, and Ihe Sonthren market generally, must therefore look to Ihe Shamo kin coal mines for a supply, and fortunately, that field contains in inexhaustible supply of the purest and best coal, both lor manufac turing and domestic purposes, in the country. Tho specimens of coal which we have seen are ol very superior quality. It can be mined above water level in immense quanli- les, for half a centary; and, bv Ihe Susque hanna railroad running from Bridgeport to lo Ninbury, which, we are Bssured, will bo completed in coutse of a year, and the Penn sylvania and I ide Water Lannls will nave facilities for market unequalled by any coal region in tho country."

Benton, It is now ascertained, i. nr.. poscu lo the Nebraska bill, and will propose n amonumenuoit, which will give addition. ai scope lo the debate. He proposes to in corporate his Pacifio Railroad project Into the bill, making donation of publio lands for the building of the road a eoncomitant of theab olition, or rather prohibition of slavery in Ihe territory. This is, without contradiction, a great and dangerous move, net only in Con gress, but out of it. It appeals to the con scientious scruples and lo the cupidity and enterprise of men at Ihe same lime, and is destined to make a great diversion in publio sentiment, which may endanger the success ot the bill in the House. But that is not all. There are great parliamentary tactics invol ved in Lolonel Benton's course. If he can "lack" the two great measures r the session together, and conoenlrate Ihe local interests of the Northern States on his plan, or lorce tne missoun members to vote him down, there would be a question big cneugh for a i residential platfoun that would disturb all present publio and secret arrangements, and thiow all parlies into a state of confusion If there be a man, now living, equal to such a task, that man is Col.
