tion in behalf of Vullaniliglmtn :

icr: Gentlemen : The resolutions of the Ohio
Democratic State Convention, which you
present me, together with jour introductory
and closing remarks, being in position and
argument mainly the same as tlie resolutions
of the democratic meeting at Albany, New
York, I refer you to my response to the
latter as meeting most of the points in the
former. This response you evidently used
in preparing your remarks, and I desire no
more than that it be'usfd with necuraey.
In a single reading of your remarks I only
discovered one inaccuracy in matter, which
I suppose you took from that paper. It is
where you say : "The undersigned are un
able to agree with you in the opinion you
have expressed that the constitution is dif
ferent iu time of insurrection or invasion
from w hat it is in time of pence and public
security.'' A recurrence to the paper will
show jolt that I have not expressed the
opinion you suppose. I expressed the
opinion that the constitution is dillcrent in
its application in case of rebellion or inva
sion, invohing the public safely, from what
it is iu times of profound peace- and public
security ; and this opinion 1 adhere to, sim
ply because by the constitution itself things
may be done- in the one case which may not
be done iu the other.
I dislike to waste a word on a merely per
sonal point, but 1 must respectfully assure
you tiiat jou will find yourselves at fault
should you ever seek for evidence to prove
your assumption that 1 "opposed in discus
sion before the people the policy of the
Mexican war."
You say, '-Kxpungc from the constitution
this limitation upon the power of Congress
to suspend the writ of 'habeas corpus,' nnd
yet the other guaranties of personal liberty
would remain unchanged." Doubtless if
this clause of the constitution, improperly
called, as I think, a limitation upon the
power of Congress, were expunged, the
other guaranties would remain tlie same;
but the question is, not how those guaran
ties would stand w ith that clause out of the
constitution, but how they stand with that
clause remaining in it, in cases of rebellion
or invasion involving the public safety. If
the liberty could be indulged of expunging
that clause, letter and spirit, I really think
the constitutional argument would be with
you. My general view on this question was
Muted in tlie Albany response, and hence 1
do not state it now. 1 only add that, ns
seems to me, the benefit of the writ of habe
as corpus is the great means through which
the guaranties of personal liberty are con
served and made available in the last :es:t ;
and corroborative of this view is the fact
that Mr. Yallandigliani, in the very case in
question, under the advice of able lawyers,
saw not where else to go but to the habeas
corpus. ly the constitution the benefit of
the writ of habeas corpus itself may be sus
pended when in cases of rebellion or inva
sion the public safety may require it.
You ask in substance whether I really
claim that I may ovcrridu all the guarantied
rights of individuals, on the plca'of con
serving the public safety, when I may choose
to say the public safety requires ft. This
question, divested of the phraseology calcu
lated to represent tnc as struggling for an
arbitrary personal prerogative, is cither sim
ply a question trhn shall decide, or tin alHr
uiation that ntlnhj shall decide, what the
public salety does require in cases ot rebel
lion or invasion. The Constitution contem
plates the question as likely to occur for
decision, but it does not expressly declare
who is to decide it. Hy necessary applica
tion, when rebellion or invasion conies, the
decision is to be made from time to time ;
and 1 think the man whom, for the lime,
the people have, under the constitution,
made the coininander-in-chief of their army
and navy, is the man who lioldo the power
and bears the responsibility of making it.
If he uses the power justly the same people
will probably justify him : if he abuses it,
he is in their hands, to be bealt with by all
the modes they have reserved to themselves
in the constitution.
The earnestness with which you insist that
persons can only in times of rebellion be
lawfully dealt w it li in accordance with the
rules for criminal trials mid punishments in
times of peace, induces me to add a w ont to
what 1 sail I on that point in the Albany re
sponse. You claim that men may, if they
choose, embarrass those whose duty it is to
combat a giant rebellion, and then be dealt
with only in turn as if there were no rcU-l-lion.
The. constitution itself respects this
view. The military arrests and detentions
which h.ve been made, including those of
Mr. Yalluudigham, which are not different
iu principal from the other, have been for
prevention, and not for punishment as in
junctions tu stay injury as proceedings to
keep the peace and hence like proceedings
in such cases, and for like reasons, they have
not been accompanied with indictments, or
trials by juries, nor, iu a single citsu, by uny
punishment w hatevtir beyond what is purely
incidental to the prevention. The original
sentence of imprisonment in Mr. Yallandig-
liuiu'a case wus to prevent injury to the
military service, only, und llio modification
of it was made us it less disagreeable mode
to liini of securing the sumo prevention.
1 am unable, to iierceivo un insult to Ohio
in the case of Mr. Yallandigliani. Ignite
surely nothing of the sort w as or i intended
I was wholly unuwuru that Mr. Vullandi
huui was, ul the time of his arrest, a candi
date for the democratic nomination for
Governor until o informed bv your reading
to me the reaolutiotia of the Convention. 1

authorities, under recent acts of Congress.
I ccrtaiti'lv do not know that Mr. Yallandig
litttn hns "specially nnd by direct language
advised against enlistments and in favor of
diwcrtion' and resistance to drafting. We
all know that combinations, tinned in some
instances to resist the arrest of deserters,
began several months ago ; that more re
cently the like has appeared in resistance to
tlio'e'nrolment preparatory to n draft ; and
that quite n number of assassinations have
occurred for the same animut. These had
to be met by military force, nnd this ngain
hns led to bloodshed and death. Anil now,
under the sense of resposibility more weigh
ty nnd enduring limn tiny which is merely
ollicial, I solemnly decline my belief that
this hindrance of tlie military, including
maiming and murder, is due to theeourscin
which Mr. Yallandiglmin has been engaged,
in a greater degree limn to any other cause,
and is due to him per.-onnlly in a greater
detrrcc than to nnv other one num. These
notorious, known to all, mid ofcotir.se, known j
to Mr. Yallandigham. IVi-haps I would not j
be wrong to say they originated witli his ;
especial friends "and adherents. With per- !
feet know ledge of them, he has frequently, i
if not constantly, made speeches in Con- j
gress and before "popular assemblies; nnd if j
it can be shown that with these things star- j

When it is known that the wole burden of ' P"ached the salt deposit ot North America.
his speeches has been to stir up l.icn against
the prosecution of the war. and that in the
midst of resistance to it. he has not been
known in any instance to counsel against
such resistance, it is next to impossible to
repel the inference that he has counselled
directly in favor of it. With all this before
their eyes, the Convention you represent
have nominated Mr. Yallandigham for Gov
ernor of Ohio ; and both they and you have
declared the purpose to sustain the national
Union by all constitutional means. lint, of
course, they and yon, in common, reserve to
yourselves to decide what arc constitutional
means, and. unlike the Albany meding, you
omit to state or intimate that iu opinion an
army is a constitutional means to save the
Union against a rebellion, or even to inti
mate that you are conscious of an cxi.-ting
rebellion being in progress with the avoivcd
object of destroying that very Union. At
the same time your liomiiuefor Governor,
in whose behalf you appeal, is Know to you
and to the world to declare against the use
of an armv to suppress the rebellion. Your
own attitude, therefore, encoura
deser-
tion resistance to the draft and the 151-
because it teaches those who incline to de
sert and to escape the draft to believe it is
your purpose to protect them, and to hope,
that you w ill become strong enough to do
so. After a short personal intercourse with
yon, gentlemen of the Committee, I cannot
cannot say I think you desire this effect to
follow your attitude, but I nsure you that
both friends and enemies of the Union look
upon it in this light. It is a rubstantiul
hope, and by consequence, a real strength to
the enemy. It is a 'false hope, and one
which you would willingly dispel. 1 will
make the way exceedingly easy. 1 iend you
duplicates of this letter in order that you, or
a maioritv, may, it you choose, endorse your
names upon one of them, and return it thus
, t . , .. . ... i . i. ..a '
endorsed to me. with the understandiiur that
thoso signing are thereby commilttd to
the following propositions, and to nothing
else :
1. That there is now a rebellii n in the
United States, the object and tendency of
which is to destroy the National Union ; and
that, in your opinion, an army and navy are
constitutional means for suppressing that
rebellion.
2. That no one of you will do anything
which, in his own judgment, w ill tend to
hinder the increase, or favor tlie decrease, or
lessen the ctlicicney of the army or navy,
while engaged in the effort to suppress that
rebellion ; and,
a. That each of you will, in his sphere,
do all he can to have the of.iccrs, soldiers
and seamen of the army and navy, while en
gaged in the cll'ort to suppress the rebellion,
paid, fed, clad, and otherwise well provided
and supporteil.
And with the turtlier uniierstaiu.ing that,
upon receiviuir the letter ami iian.es uius
endorsed. 1 will cause them to be published.
which publication shall be, within itselt. a
revocation of the order in relation to Mr.
Yaliandigham.
I will not escape observation that I con
sent to the release of Mr. Yallandigham upon
terms, not embracing any pledge from liiin
or from others, as to what he will or will
not do. I do this because he is not present
to speak for himself, or to authorize others
to speak for him ; and hence, I shall expect.
that on returning, lu: WoiUi. nut tint himscll
practically in antagonism w ith the position
of his friends. Hut 1 do it chieily beeae.se 1
thereby prevail on other influential gentle
men ol Ohio to so ilehnc tneir position as to
bo of immense value to the army thus
more than compensating for the consequence
of unv mistake in allownio Mr. Yiilla.idig-
ham to return, so that on the whole the
public safety w ill not have sulfcred by it.
Still, in regard to Mr. Yallandigliani and all
other, I must hereafter, as heretofore, do so
much us tin public saU ty may seem to re
quire. 1 Have llio minor ne respcciiuuy

HOW Tltrj 1IK11K1.S (KIT TtlKIlt HALT.
We find in tho New Orleans Fra of the
Kith tin account of a visit to the remarkable
salt mine of l'ctite Ansc, where salt is quar
ried out in solid blocks. From this vast nnd.
valuable deposit the rebels drew n large
part of their supplies.
The mine is not far from the town of New
Iberia. The visitors left this place and tra
veled in a south-southwesterly direction
over n most, beautiful level prairie plain
about six miles distant. This plain is so
much of a dead level that the hind, although
a very rich soil, is deemed by the farmers
almost valueless, because the water falling
upon it linds no declivity by which to run
oil' from its very Hat, even surface. The
writer says :
"We then approached the celebrated rais
ed planknmd, w hich had been built through
a sea swamp, about two miles long, extend
ing from the dry or main land through the
swamp to the salt island of lY tite Ane.
This road is the only land passage to the
island, and is so narrow that the teams or
vehicles cannot pass each other upon it.

through the scattered trees und bushes white
heaps of the quarried rock salt, stacked up
in p'les about ten to fifteen feet high, short
distances apart, giving evidence nf the W ells,
or shafts, excavated within the earth below,
and adjacent to these several piles of quar
ried blocks of salt.
now Tut: SALT IS MIM'.n,
"These wells or shafts, for the blasting
and excavating this rock deposit, ate about
twelve in number, of dill'erciit sizes, and lo
cated within a radius of about four hundred
feel. They consist of a square or oblong
excavation down from the surface into the
ea-th a depth, on the average, of about
nineteen ami a half feet below the surface
to the hard, smooth rock-salt deposit below.
These pits arc sunk and walled up some
thing similar to a coll'er dam either by
planks thoroughly braced from the opposite
sides against the earth's bank on cither side,
or a sort of frame w ork of logs dovetailed
together at the ends like the w alls of a log
house, nnd extending from the surface of the
,-rn.,l .l,,.. ,, to the salt oitarrv below : and
and made so tight that the crumpling, lull
ing earth was thereby entirely excluded
from the pits.
"These shafts arc, on the average, about
twenty feet square. One of the pits, how
ever, which has been made and worked by
the rebels, is much larger than cither one
of the other pits, is made in the form of an
L, and is about eighty feet long on its outer
line, anil about .sixty feet on its inner line
and about twenty feet wide. Krom all of
these pits there has been excavated mote or
less salt dow n into the rock a depth of from
ten to thirty-live feet below its surface. This
large pit had been worked much more than
eitiicr one of the others. The salt rock has
bei ll blasted and taken lrom this salt to th
,i(11tli ofabout thirtv-tl. ice feet, and far into
I
the rock below, out.-lde ot tlie walls nt the
pit and under the earth, and salt banks left
standing above. A large column ol the salt
rock, about six feet, in diameter, remains
ftaiiiliiig"uti'ier the inner elbow or appex
of the pit. to sustain the rock arch of sail
and earth above it. Over and around these
nits there were erected, during the hist year !
.-tveral buildings, sheds, and much machi
nery for dril'ina, blasting, hoisting and bar
reling the blocks of salt just as excavated
from the mine, without any oiaiiulatioii
whatever.

"Some of these pits were worked by the
owner of the soil ; others were worked by
contracting parties; ho fiiini.slied or defray
ed '.heir own expense, with the necessary la
bor, and paid to the owner a stipulated sum
per pound for the salt.
"The average selling price of the salt on
the ground was 4J cents per pound.
'.W ill here remark, by way of contrast,
that the average price in the city of New
Orleans for Liverpool ground aluin salt, in
neks, (coinnionlv called coar.-e line,) has
been, lioni on shipboard, during the laM
lift ei-n years, about fifty cents per sack ol"
about three bushels, oriuic quarter ot a cent
tier pound, including the cost ol the sack.
J .
I have been assured by persons who know
the facts, that J.n
Averv has received,
within the hist vear, over one
m Ikon two
hundred thousand dollars for this salt, iu
addition to the many smaller sums which
have been received during the same time by
the other contracting panics at the mines.
"H is said to me that there lias probably
been received in all for this salt within lite
hut fiscal year, at the works, the enormous
siiin of frciii two to three millions of dollars.
Such another prolific source of liiotiev mak
ing has never yet been discovered within
the United States since the formation of our
government. 1 was told on the inland that
Judge Avery, with hW family, haj left tlie

is a body of very productive land in every
part, of "undulating surface, growing rich
crops of sugar cane, coin, forest trees, shrub
bery, &c, and rises to a height ofabout one
hundred nnd seventy feet, in the midst of a
wiile spreading sea swan.), and is about two
nnd a half miles long from north to south,
and about one and a half miles wide, con
taining about two thousand two hundred
and forty arpents, or about two thousand
one hundred acres of land.
AlTKAllANCK OK Till-'. ISLAND.
''This watery sea swamp completely sur
round" the island, tnul extends from six to
twenty miles to the southwest midwest, and
which is covered w ith a tall, coarse grass
nnd short shrubbery. To the north, about
two miles, it is covered wilh bushes nnd
:-tu a ted trees ; and on the easterly nnd south
easterly aides ore located extensive, heavy
cvprcss forest trees of many miles extent.
The soil of the island umbcr'coloicd loan
composed mostly of silliciotts sand, and so
compact, as to permit the making of it into
brick.
"There is a most luxurinnt growth of
forcrt vegetation covering a good portion of
the island, nnd consisting of almost every
variety of tree, shrub, plant and vine known
to our" country, growing immediately over
the salt deposit as well as elsewhere through
out the island.
"About two-thirds of the land, including
the se.lt deposit, belongs to Judge Avery,
and the other one-third (mainly in the cen
ter of the island) belongs to an old man,
John 1 laves, who is now and h;rs been a
resident on the island about, seventy-three
years. The deposit is found near the south
westerly border of the island, under dry
forest ground, which ground is only about
fifteen feet about the level of the tide w ater
in the bayou. The salt quarry consists of a
whitish or cream-colored solid smooth rock,
underlaving the earth, w ithin a space, so far
ns yet ascertained, ofabout forty-live acres,
and on an average of nineteen and a half feet
below the surface of the earth, and about
four and a half feet below the surface of the
bayou or tide-water.
"There is no water or brine moisture with
in the .salt deposit. The rock is hard com
pact and perfectly dry. The only moisture
attending it is contained in the earthly soil
above the rock.
"The salt was discovered as follows : Mr.
John Hayes, now living upon the island,
w here he" has resided since lT'.m, was hunt
ing for 'deer, iust over the salt bed, in 171)1.
and to quench his thirst drank the water of
a small, char spring just tit his feet. lie
found the w ater so salt that lie afterwards
took some of it to his ow n home in a bottle,
and boiled from it a tca.-poonful of salt.
Soon after Jesse McCaul bought about nine
teen acres of the land, including the salt
spring, and began boiling salt. lie after
wards dug several small wells for a better
supply of brine, without much success; but
while' di-ruing. found an Indian earthen
spoon about two feet below the surface,
I found also a buck horn about nine tect be-
low, and also found the aliuo.st perfect
. skeleton of a supposed mammoth about ten
, feet below the sl'.llace. 1 nesu springs e.e

i peace of lsp-,. Judge Daniel I). Avery, the
j present owner, became possessed of these

about thirteen '.feet below the surface, the
pick-axe man at the bottom struck upon, as
he thought, a cake of ice, but this, upon
being broken off, closely examined, handed
all round, broken to pieces, tried in lire,

. The members of tho Koyal Institution
held n. special meeting in London on the
23d ultimo, to hear u lecture by Captain
Spoke on the discovery of the source of the
Nile. Tim Prince of "Wales was prcfetit,
nttendod by GeiierM Knollys, Sir Koderick
Murchison nnd a numerous suite. The
Prince was accompanied by the Comic de
Paris nnd several other members of the late
roval family of France.
Jlcforo commencing his letlttie Captain
Ppcko introduced to the audience two little
black boys who were brought, to England
for education. He also desired publicly' to
thank Sir Koderick Murchison and tho
Fellows of the Geographical Soci-ty for the
assistance they had' afforded him in proving
the correctness of the conclusion at w hich
he had arrived in 18-i3, that Lake Victoria
Nvanza was the source of some great river,
nndtliat that river was the Nile. Time
would not. permit him to describe the whole
of the incidents of his journey from Zanzibar
to Egypt, which occupied two years and a
half, nnd extended over n distance of more
than three thousand miles. lie chose rather
to give some account of the "Wahunia and
somu of the other tribes inhabiting the
shores of Lake Nvanza.
Judging from the physical characteristics
oft host; tribes, he considered them to be
descended from the ancient Abyssinians
an idea confirmed by the traditions of the
people, who, when questioned about their
origin, always replied that they come from
the north. Captain Spcke gave a long and
interesting account of the history of the
people of Unyoro, tracing their kings down
to the present monarch. On the most fertile
part of the shores of Lake Nyanza, he said,
is the kingdom of Uganda, which is the
most interesting of all the nation? of equa
torial Africa, being better cultivated and
better governed than any other. The cus
toms of Uganda arc many of them most
irregular. The Princes having largo hnr:ni
of women, their progeny is, of course, most
numerous. "When a King dies all his sons
are burnt except his successor and two
others, who are kept, in case of accident,
until the coronation, after which one is pen
sioned oil' nnd the other banished to Unyoro,
Untidiness iu dress is a capital crime, except
the offender possesses sullicient riches to pay
an enormous fine. Ingratitude, or even
neglecting to thank a person for a benefit
conferred, is punishable.
The court customs are also curious. Xo
one is allowed to stand bclorc the King,
and to touch him or look at one of his
women is death. They believe implicitly
in magic and the cvifeye, and the kings
are always attended by a certain number of
women crowned with dead . lizards, and
bearing be wis of plantain wine in their
hands. The King of Karaliwe is the most
civilized of all thene native chiefs; before
entering Uganda Captain Speke spent many
days with him. In manners, civility and
cnl'ightennieiit he might be compared with
many Euiopcans. He owes much of this
to the influence of un Indian merchan named
Moiissa Mzouri. who helped him by Ii'.i
Advice to conquer his brother, with win t.i
ho was at war. Captain Speke was luiich
entertained w ith many of Ilia questions as
to what became of the old suns i.id Why the
tuoon made faces at the earth, lie also
wanted to know- whether England, of which
he had heard from the ivory traders, could
blow up the whole of Africa with gunpow
der. The moment the King heard that he
was desirous of going north he sent mes
sengers to the King of Uganda to prepare
the way for him. The King was most
anxious to atVotd him every possible in
formation about the country
While at the palace the King took him
yachting on MurchiFOii Creek lor several
lays, mid he frequently went shooring with
the princes of the court, who, when he had
shot anything, would rush up to shake him
heartily hy the hand a custom little known
in that" part of Africa, liel'ore leaving they
heard from the King Karasi that a body of
white men had been seen to the north, who
hail killed numbers of the natives with a
wonderful gun. This made Captain Spcke
most anxious to push on, as he supposed
the partvof white men to be that of Mr.
Petherick, who had appointed to meet him. j
lie then started for Uganda with a numerous ,
retinue, lleforo leaving King IUmiauika's 1
palace at Kan.gwe he had noticed on several
occasions three or four lofty mountain peaks,
more than ten thousand feet high. Hie
king of Uganda sent an armed body of men
to meet him, whn conducted hitu through
the kingdom. Evcrywheie they went the
people left their huts" leaving their provisions
behind them. The fertility of this part is
very great, and the scenery ou the shores of
the lake most beautiful.
On arriving at the King of Uganda's
capital Captain Speke found it necessary to
wrap up all his presents in chintz before
sending them to the King, as nothing bare
or naked could be looked at by his Majesty,
lie found tliu palace to consist of hundreds
of conical tents, spread over the spur of a
hill. Thousands of courtiers ami attendants
w ere to be seen engaged in every conceivable
occupation, from playing on musical instru
ments to feeding the royal chickens. On
sending word to the King that he wished
for an interview, that monarch sent back
a sharp message that ho wan to sit on the
ground and wait until he was at liberty.
Cantain Snekc. however, sent back word
that he was il prince, and not accustomed
either to sit on the ground oriowau. .v
com tier follow ed him, prophesying ull kinds
of evil from his presumption.
Captain Speke, however, tertillcd the
whole court. King and all into subinis-ion
by merely opening his umbrella, which they
took to'le a deadly weapon, killing by
imigie. A chair was consequently allowed
to Ciyitain Spi ke, who was received by the
King, surrounded by I.i court, und having
by his side the women crowned with dead
lizards, to w ard otl'lhe t tlect of the ev il
eye. The King Mured at hi ;u for id unit an
liour'at the cud of which time bis .Majoty
said, "ltae jou seen lui."l nnd n Hud to
niiollur tent, where the same process of
staring was followed b' a Mtiiihir inquiry.

The 1st volume of the "Transactions rf
the North of England Institute of .Alining
Engineers'' contains some particulars which
would make an interesting paper on tho
curiosities of coal mining. Men cannot
read without astonishment of the dillicullics
which have been overcome by miners in
pursuit of coal, and the vj.st amounts of
money laid out sunk, so to speak in
mines.
"What is called Morton Tit, not far front
Durham, is remarkable for the dillicullics
overcome in sinking to the coal. In the
process of excavation the sinkers encountered
probublv the largest body of water ever
met with in any one milling adventure.
The estimated quantities seem incredible.
No less than nine thousand three hundred
gallons of water were lifted every minute.
from a bed of quicksand which lay at a
depth of live hundred and forty feet from
the surface. This bed was forty feet in
thickness, and for its whole extent thorough
ly saturated with water. Any person may
conceive of the difficulty of sinking through
such a quicksand. To encounter and defeat
not far short of ten thousand gallons of
flooding springs, minute nfter minute mid.
day after day, might, well have ttppahed
any engineer." lint the engineer fought tho
floods with their own weapons; he niado
use of the vapor generated from water
steam and added horsepower to horse
power until, in all, he placed steam engines
around that one pit to the extent of no less
than one thousand live hundred nnd eighty
four horse power. Night and day those
putnping-cngincs were at work in pumping
up the floods; cranks, 'crab?,' and all kinds
of requisite engineering were added, and
the water was obliged to give in or, rather
to come out. Murton Colliery is now a
thriving concern, and sends up tubs of coal
instcad'of gallons of water every minute to
the surface. 5ut at what cost was this
water pumped out ? At an expenditure of
no less than ',0n0,000.
"It is remarkable that in another sinking
for coal, about a couple of miles from tho
same locality, the same enemy was again
encountered, nnd in a continuation of tho
same bed of quick sand. The colliery
viewer, however, conducted his campaign
so adroitly that lie was able to insulate each
separate- 'feeder' of water ns it was met w ith
in each stratum of sand nnd limestone
so that, while an aggregate amount of up
wards of live thousand gallons of water per
minit'o was met w ith in passing through
the various bejj, so cleverly was the wholo
passage accomplished that nt no time were,
there "more than live hundred gallons in one
ii: nt" to pump awav. This, indeed, was
a o'
lantitv sullicient to frighten some ; but
! in comparison with the nine thousand and
Olid gallons at .inn ion it was Homing.
There are nits where. long after coal
has been for many years extracted from
them, the waters break in and flood the
mine. In these instances, ngain, great
I enterprise is Manifested. In the case of tho
I 'drowned' colliery tit Jarrow an attempt
was made a few years ago to draw oil tho
J water and to resume ordinary operations.
Hut the sum of one hundred and ten tliou
j sand dollars was spent fruitlessly in this
attempt, and It was ultimately abandoned
without drawing up tv single ton oi coal.
"Whence nil. this subterranean water
comes is an interesting question, but scarcely
i capable of receiving a satisfactory reply.
Its amount must be immense to aliord
j neatly ten thousand gallons per minute at
one sinking and probably it is the aceu-
mutation oi' numberless centuries of surface
j waters which have percolated through tho
potous strata. It is always threatening.
and never materially diminished, as respects
its vast aggregate, by any etl'orts of man;
on the contrary, it is always gaining ou
man and filling up his excavation. No less
than thirty-sis collieries near the river
Tyue have been, iu mining phrase, 'drowned
out,' or rendered unworkable by an irre-
sistible irruption
, main Wallseiid
of water, titter the liest
seam had been nearly
exhausted. These stand lit the coal district
like closed factories in the cotton towns,
with this difference, that the cotton factories
may be reopened and busity at work again,
while the drowned collieries aie probably
