provement, in progress, however, designed

will place them in a condition to ship any
quantity of coal their marketa may require.
A brief reference to what ia going on will
not be without interest to the trade.
The Luzerne region will ahortly have the
advantage of an opening to the whole of
northwestern New York, first, by the North
, Branch Canal to Waveily, which connects
with the principal canals of the Empire
Slate; and next by the North Pennsylvania
Railroad, leading in the same direciion.
There is also a route surveyed for a railway
from Wilkbarre to New York city, which
is pronounced feasible, and will most likely
be built in a few years. Then there is a
road alieacly contracted for from Wilkes'
bane down as far as Bloomsburg on the Sus
quehanna. Here are four new avenues for
our friends above, which fully warrant the
preparations they are making to participate
more largely in the coal trade.
The improvements in the Shamokin region
ere even moro extensive than those of Lu.
zerne.
lit. There is the Sunbury and Erie road
the eaily completion of which, since the
city subscription, is rendered certain con
necting with the Philadelphia and Sunbury
Railroad at Sunbury, which road, in 18
miles, leads directly to the mines.
2d. The Susquehanna railway a good
portion of which is already graded, and, by
the charter, is to be finished in 1855 con
nects also with the Philadelphia and Sunbury
road at Sunbury thus forming an unbroken
line (a the city of Baltimore.
3d. The Danville Railroad, running from
Sunbury to Danville which latter placo al
ready consumes over 200,000 tons of coal,
we have it from reliable aathority, has been
definitely determined opon, and will be com
pleted in a short time.
4lh. The Coal Run Railroad, under con
struction, connects the Philadelphia and Sun
bury road, at its eastern terminus, (in the
heart ef the region,) and intersects the Cat
tawissa and New York Railway, thus form,
lug a chain of railroad to the city of New
York.
5th. The Mine Hill Extension, designed
lo connect with the Philadelphia and Sun
bury at Ashland, in this county, forms a
through line to Philadelphia. This woik,
we understand, is progressing as rapidly as
possible.
In anticipation of the opening of these
lines, we see ample reason for the mntt
thoro' development of the Shamokin region.
The enterprising individual, at the hend of
ndairs there, evidently appreciate the pros
pect before them. Their operations are in
tended to be of a magnitude commensurate
with the carrying facilities enumerated
The Big Mountain Company, for examp!e(
whoso annual report is now before us, though
a year has scarcely gone by since its organl
zation, have already a colliery of five gang'
ways in woiking order, capable of producing,
ins said, 200,000 tons per annum, ineir
coal-breaker, nearly completed, is reprcsont
ed bo one of the largest in the Slate, wilh
capacity sufficient for preparing 150,000 tons
annually. Their lateral railway, 11 mile
long, finished to the Philadelphia and Sun
bury road at Shamokin, und now in use, is
substantially built of 40X T rail. These im
provements, with a large steam saw-mill,
and quiio a number of comfortable houses
for tho miners, to accommodate enough to
-arry on the works, cost, the President of
the Company says in bis report, but 45,000
a small expenditure of money considering
the quantity of coal that the improvements
will enable them lo produce
The extent of tho company's estate is no
lets worthy of a passing remark, in this con
ncxion, than its developcmeut. It embraces
eotno 6,000 acres 2,000 acres of which ate
richly underlaid wilh Anihrasite, and the
balance is timber land, eovored with a heavy

The PotttvilU Emporium and the Mining
Register are laboring, with a teal mora
earnest than commendable, it appears to us,
to convince the people of Northumberland
county, that their claims upon the district
composed of Schuylkill and Northumber
land for the congressional representative,
are not well founded, or to be regarded.
They tell us that Schuylkill county will
present, and urge her man, in the face of
courtesies, common usage, and positive
agreement, heretolote acknowledged and
acquiesced in.
Is this either modest or equitable 1 upon
what principle of justice can such a course
be sustained T
The present incumbent in the National
Congress from this district, was furnished
by Schuylkill county. Col. C. M. Straub
and Major Wm. L. Dewart were compe
titors for the nomination ; and, as can be
sustained by ample .proofs, the conferees in
the conference, from Northumberland
county, were only induced to abandon
their favorite candidate by the positive as
surance and voluntary pledge, that North
umberland should supply Ihe next candi
date. Northumberland presents her former
and continued favorite, Major Wm. L.
Dewart again; and we are gravely told
by political leaders in Schuylkill county,
that, we have no claims, that plighted faith
and solemn compact are not binding, and
mutt go for nothing. That a breach or
laith, which, in social or business life,
would damn a man to everlasting infamy,
may be deliberately committed by politi
cians and bo approved. That no stigma
or reproach will rest upon the faithless. A
genlhmnn'i word must be as good as his
bond, a politician's goes for nothing he
only uses' words as means to his present or
ultimate ends to conceal, not convey bis
thoughts and real sentiments. It is time,
high time for Ihe country, that men who
profess to be politicians would learn to be
so, in the high, dignified, comprehensive
sense of the term and lake in, within
the circumference ol their views and ac
tions, the interests of the country of those
for whom they ought and profess to act(
and not be controlled by personal and sel
fish, or local considerations merely that
they should recognize their obligation to
truth and manliness; an obligation not less
imperative in politics than in private life.
But, say our friends of (he Register and
Emporium, office hunters and their confer
ees have no right to bind by any compact
the free voters of Schuylkill county. In
deed! Let us carry out that doctrine, and
where shall we be. Now these delegates,
or conferees, are regularly selected by the
people (acting with the democratic party)
lo represent them in conference or conven
lion, and, by virtue of (heir selection are
clothed with full power and authority to
act for and bind those whom Ihey repre,
sent ; otherwise the conference or conven-
tion is a farce, and the selection of delegates
simply ridiculous. II it is assumed that
the conferees are selected to represent the
candidates, and not the people personal
and not general interests why (hen (hi;
last position is even still more absurd than
the former. Dut, this will not be seriously
asserted. Then, acting in convention for
the people, they select a candidate, and
present him lo Ihem, as the choice of the
people. To secure this selection, by them
deemed the best for the interests of the
entire democracy ol their county; they
make conditions. Without these conditions'
the candidate, desired by delegates and
constituents, could not have been nomina
ted. The people are called upon to sup
port the candidate; and il any man is inde
pendent enough to oppose him, be is
denounced by the whole tribe of political
managers, as faithless to his party is read
out, and abused as if he were a criminal.
Dut, the covenant in the bond, which gave
them that candidate, may be broken with
mpunity nay, more; having realized Ihe
benefits these same managers call upon the
people to repudiate the bonds to deny
navment of the consideration. Would this
be honesty in private life!
If delegates, selected agreeably (o usage
have not power to bind by their deliberate
acts, in convention, those whom they rej)-
resent, and with whose power they are
lor the lime, clothed, then is Ihe whole
representative syttem, usually regarded as
the distinguishing excellence of our politi
cal institutions, worthless; and all legisla
lion nugatory. If the representative cannot
hind Ihe represented, there is then uu Ion
ger any obligation lo allegiance to law.
The principle once admitted, its practical
eiteiuiun sweeps away the very fuunJa
lions ol that aupwslruclure of w hich, as
republicans, we are jually proud.
Were Col. Straub to be the candidal
from Schuylkill, then, injevd, it might be

tion a good man well educated with

nd, with all, is a gentleman. All this it
rue. But it is equally true of the candi
date presented by Northumberland ; nor
does it, being true, change the character
of the question at issue between the two
Counties.
Northumberland arid Schuylkill together
form the congressional district. Schuylkill
had the first representative. Usage, jus
tice, and common courtesy lay at the foun
dation of the claim urged by Northumber
land, and superadded to these ii the fact,
with most linking men a weighty and
controling consideration ; that the faith of
Schnylkill county stands pledged to North
umberland. Will she forfeit ber faith t
we hope better things.
We say nothing against either of the
gentlemen presented by Schuylkill county.
We are urging the claims of no particular
candidate at this time; and could with ear
nestness and pleasure support either of the
gentlemen named ; he being the nominee
of the par!', nominated justly, and accord
ing to usage. We are simply contending
that our own county has a right to be
heard and respected ; That she is entitled
to the nomination, if upon no other con
sideration, upon the recognized principle
that turn about is fair play.
I'EKXSYLVAMA MIStRS AND FARMERS.
It is to be presumed that every reader
understands the general idea of (he connec-
ion of interest between the Miner and
Farmer, since the chief cost ol coal is form,
ed in (he labor of mining it, and transport-
ng it to market ; and Ihe chief expense of
(hat labor is, of course, (he food which has
(o be bought of the farmer. There are,
however, many other elements in the cost,
which go in a similar manner, in the form
of profits to the cultivator. It has been es-
mated, and may be safely regarded as a
fact, that five-sixths ot all the money re
ceived ir. Pennsylvania for the Anthracite
mined and sold, goes directly into the
pockets of Pennsylvania farmers. The
mmense importance of this Anthracite
trade to them, is, therefore, worthy of their
most serious consideration, at this junc
ture, especially, when the vast, and in rich
ness and quality, unsurpassed, coal fields
ol Northumberland, usually known and
spoken ot under the general term of the
Shamokin coal fields ; but, comprehending
within their proper boundaries, several
extensive tracts or estates ; the property of
enterprising individuals, or energetic in
corporations, (of which, in future articles
we shall take occasion to speak more at
large) are, at length, after many years ol
active efiort or. the part ol those untiring
and public spirited gentlemen, (who, appre
ciating their importance, as a source of
wealth, to the county, not only, but to the
state at large,) have labored with continued
industry for this end, about to be remuner
atingly developed, by means of ample out
lets lo the Atlantic seaboard. Agricultural
readers in this good old county, should be
peculiarly interested in understanding,
first, the vast sums ol money, which the
ntlnacite trade has brought, and is still
biinging to the stale; and, secondly, (lie
proportion of it which has gone, and is still
going into the pocket? of the farmers.
In making our estimates we must, ol
course, be governed by the operations of
other regions, in a great degree, the mines
of Northumberland county, being even now
only finding an avenue to market. We
will estimate the entire aggregate of An
thracite sent to market from Pennsylvania
mines, from 1810 to 1834, at 35,000,000
of tons, an estimate certainly within Ihe
figure. Say that, al Ihe place of consump
tion, this coal has been worth no more than
the average price ol $4 per ton, or the
prodigious total sum of $140,000,000.
Now the question important to be answer
ed is, liow'has this money been divided.
Let us examine the matter. Say that, at
the mines coal has been wortli an average
price of two dollars per ton. Of this
amount one portion goes to Ihe men who
opened the mines and prepared them for
being worked ; a second portion to those
engaged in Ihe preparation ol machinery ;
a third to those who mine or raiie the coal;
a fourth to the men and horses engaged iu
hauling it to the cunul or rail road lor trans
portation to various uiuts of consumption.
The operator gets a small portion of Ihe
grow income of his mines, which he inva
riably expends for new improvement, rna
chiiiery, &.C., aud it is thus divided among
working men. A small iiurliou govs to
Ihe owuer of the laud in Ihe shape of rents,
but the aggregate expenditures of the land
lord, in making Itailroadi and other im
provf meiits, is nealy, il not quite equal to
his aggregate receipts; so that, in lact, near
ly all the money received for Ihe coal is
paid out again in the shape of wsgvs, lu
thus engaged about its mining and pre pa
ration. Could we tract the money thus
paid oul we would liud that, by fr Ibe
target! Hiiiiuii of il finds ils way into Ihe
(uiki l of Ihe farmrr, as Ihe price of Ihe
pioduiUof bis farm, with bitb Ibe wuik

By the time the coal has reached thai
place of consumption its average price is I
increased, say, two dollars per ton. Whojoflrland, presents a very simple, and, he
receives it, a similar examination will show
it nearly all goes to Ihe farmer. The
working and construction of the railway
and canal, the vessels all representing a
large amount of consuming, as well as pro
ductive labor. Say that, during the pres
ent year there will be sent from all, the
Anthracite fields in Pennsylvania six mil.
lions of Ions of coal, worth twenty-four mil
lions ol dollars, and assuming, as we may
safely do, that nineteen millions goesto the
larmer, and it follows that the home mar
ket, thus directly opened by the Anthra
cite coal trade to the farmer, is greater
than the average entire exports of food to
all the world.
But Ihe above by no means exhibits all
the benefits accruing to farmers from the
Anthracite coal trade. Let him look at
the numerous lurnacei, foundaries, aud
machine shops which have sprung into ex
istence as a result of this trade. The mills
and factories which have been erected
where no water power exist?, and all the
train ol consequences which we cannot
now pause (o enumerate, and he will not
fail to see that every ton of coal mined
tends to increase the price ol his principle
product food, while increasing the facilities
lor clearing and cultivating his better soils,
and diminishing the price of spades, ploughs,
clothing and all other articles required lor
his use and consumption. Thus he wilj
perceive that the indirect gain to him from
this trade is even more than that realized
from the direct supply of food, &.C. to those
immediately engaged at and about the
mines.
But, we are extending our article be
yond reasonable limits. Leaving much
unsaid, therefore, which could be urged,
we will, in conclusion, simply remark that
farmers cannot live alone, producers can
not thrive in a world without consu-
mers.
The secret of prosperity is the divl
sion of labor, the allotment of industry into
all its manifold departments and branches ;
by which a population is reared upon the
spot to consume all the that can be raised
there. Hence in a purely agricultural
district, remote from towns, the best farm
land is worth only from 10 to $30 per
acre, while in the neighborhood of large
towns and thriving populous districts, they
are' worth often from one to three and
even five hundred dollars the acre. It is
the interest of the farmer therefore, to en
courage improvements, the construction ol
Railroads; the opening of mines; the
building ol furnaces, factories, villages and
towns.

CHOLiR.,-Th following extract from the
letter of a clergyman lo the Lord Lieutenant
says, effectual, preventive of cholera, as well
as a remedy of great power :
"The preventive is simple: a teaxpoonfui
of powdered charcoal taken three or four
times a week, in a cup of coffee, or other
liquid, in the morning. ,
"When attacked with cholera a mixture of
an ounce of oharcoal, an ounce of laudanum,
and an ouce of brandy, or other spirits, may
be given as follows after being well sha
ken : a teaspoon ful every five minutes. In
hall an hour I have known this effectually to
relieve and stay the desease. As the patient
becomes better, Ihe mixture may be given

THE SIIA.1IOKI COAL TRADE.
Wo shall next week, under Ihe head of
' Shamokin Coal Trade," give our readers a
statement of tho amount ol coal sent to mar
ket from this region for the present year, up
lo the lirst of July; and Iherealter report the
weekly shipment
So far this season, there has been, and still
exists, a great difficulty in obtaining sulli
ciont boats, nor is there even yet anything
like adequate whaifage fur the convenience ol
the trade at this point. The demand for
coal is active. The mining facilities, very
far exceed tho means ol shipment. There
is therelore, a pressing necessity, for ihe
completion uf Railroad communication with
Ihe Atlantic maikets. Operators are now
obliged to limit their contracts, and will be
compelled lo do so, till the transporting fa
cilities equal the capacity of tho collieries
The Philadelphia and Sunbury lluilioad is
amply furnished with machiuary aud cars
for transporting ull the coal mined lo Sun
bury, bul lioin this point, owinu to insuffi
cient li:rrfaye and a deficiency ofboats, as
wo havu said ; ihe amount demanded by ihe
market cannot be shipped, ihe Company
are howevei, wo understand, making at-
lanizements, by purchasing their own bonis,
to remidy the difficulty at this point, and new
wharfs are in rapid progress ol completion
A New Engine, called iho "Lancaster"
constructed by Norrisfc Sons of Philadelphia,
diew ninety live loaded cars, each car carry-
tnc five tons, lrom Miamokiu to tho wharfs,
at this point on Monday last. The Engineer,
Mr. J. S. Funk tells us that, in his opinion she
is capable ol drawing one hundred and
twenty hve cats.
