None hutlhhse who,have visitedlhedoal landi of our Stale any idpa of life immensity of the jhihifag operations. They are atupenJbusV Tjiey. swaHnw up eVery' oilier thought, Coal is the great staple; it isbardly parhfoxlealjo style if the bread, of Hie. During ftje /asf year the profits accruing, to thp' State frort) r thp mines Were upwards,of ninqleeq rplfljoha of in When me riuinher'bf capitalists is increased, anti iba facilities for operation becofne greater, yjthq cancalculalq the Wilth that wil| pour from Schuylkill county is* the present great theater of action. I v.isited' the' place a short time since to witness the operations. Pottsville, tho principal lown of (he county, was at onetime the. scene of very extensive works; they are aqyf worn out, and the ope rations araptopeqding further , into the inte rior. The city is 'said to be completely un dermined. As the veins are followed up, small settlements become formed along the route; as they give out the villages die away, and new settlements are formed at the next scene of operations. For this reason the great coal works are found at short distances from the city; in lime they will be moved further Into tbe Stale, and in lime again, per haps, (though should the wojrld exist /or/aver, it cadnardly be,) they will die away altogeth er. I visited one of these'settlements—called St. Clair—for the purpose of being initiated into the underground mysteries of smoke and flame, and, lo see the men (bat work it all the time. There are nine or ten mines ie exten sive operation here ; the entire population of the place consists' of the miners and their families. Having obtained the advice of an experi enced person, as to the mpst safe and inter esting of the'works, (prepared, with a Friend, and a couple guides to make the descent. Iff as j}§terrsl For a time by the fearful re memVan9<> °f, $ e terrible accidents, which occur almost daily thought of the accident,’ it(tnpkt daily in the mines—by, (be thought of the terrible fire damp, which mpy bt|rpt Front (lie mountain of coal at any moment; but finally curiosity prevailed over every other Feeling, and my Fears' being somewhat lessened by the assurance of the guides, I jumped with more boldness than could be expected, into a little car. There are sevep ways of nwking the descent—the method we chose/ffas by means of the inclined plane.. With all my desire, and all my boasted assurance, I felt decidedly uncomfortable. The yawning gulf into which we were to pass looked gloomy enough. I paid particular attention to the iron cable (as thick as my arm) attached to trie car, and felt particularly satisfied in my own mind (bat it was not sufficiently strong ; and my foreboding leelings were in nq wise lessened by seeing the guides jump into the car, with a number oF little lamps, one for each of us. This hinted fitfully of what was to come. I shall never forget the awful thump that my heart gave when our guide shouted to the engineer, “Now then I” and we began to des cend into the gaping abyss. The speed was increased by degrees, until we were being whirled along with the utmost velocity. The sensation experienced on leaving the surface, and all bright things, thus to be dashed, as it Were, into the very bowels of-the earth, is overwhelming, and cannot bo described. I fell as if a tremendous weight was pliced upon my chest, causing my respiration to be come labored and heavy; 'this weight became lighter, but was never entirely removed da ring my stay in the mines. Down! Down I Down I I thought the old car would never slop. “Should the chain break!” I scaVce dared to whisper to myself. At last, after what must have been but a little time bat which seemed a great while, the speed slackened, and the car stopped as we rode to the level; here the party stepped out on the ground. I could now sjee clearly the path we had travelled-. The slope -was about four hundred yards long, and sunk at an an gle of about 42 degrees. Looking- up from the bottom the entrance, seemed a little patch of light/so far off and so small that I felt as if we were in the middle of the earths ■ Where the cdr had slopped was an open Space; some twenty feat square.

Ibis season of the year. This. I understood to he.facetious, see ing, that the water bad been nearly upto my ankles all'the way, add I endeavored to smile, os in duly <■ bound. I discovered, however, that our ftiend-wasnol only, perfacdy serious, but very trua.in his remark, as it was by.no means unusual for the mud to be knee-deep in the galleries. The water oozes out of the rooks and coal—sometimes and in some.pla ces im drops, at other tintes in perfect streams —continually. It sounds like rain always falling.: The farther- you go down, of course the’greater the annoyaitee 'becomes; and in' very deep mines poWerfol pumps are to be kept in constant operation; in Order to prevent the water from accumulating too rapidly. Not the least interesting feature in this un derground city, was the miners at work.— The lights are so feeble that'we came contin ually and unexpectedly upon the little squads of men at work. The lamps, indeed, shine sometimes so dimly, that you can scarcely distinguish the burrowing, moving mass, from tbe black stuff around it Sometimes, how ever, large lamps are hung up all around, and you are enabled to inspect mote closely their operations. There is, however, not a great deal to witness in the mechanical exe cultbn. Knocking the coal from the rooks with |his pick, and piling it in the cars which are to convey it to the sun, constitutes the miner’s employment. To come across a body of these men thus engaged, you would think indeed, the mine a very Hades, andthat tbe miners were incarnate. The pe culiar smut from (he coal-gives a most de moniacal expression to thb countenance, ofnd ilhnuoifoctt#£. Ills light and- shadows on a 11 Pi4kil i|j?cfckfplli and (be fall of.the c^iv^^bjritbqu^hifp of the mule boy'to Tus ammaTsian'd the roll ing off of the car. Their occupation is suggestive, too, thought I, burrowing in (ha fire-staff forever. The gaide who accompanied me seemed quite, an intelligent person, end 1 learned a number of interesting facts from his conver sation. He spoke of the operations, of (he arrangements of signals, of the miners and regulations of (he mines, and of many other things. After telling me the dulf rhuline of a miner’s life, I threw up my hands— “ What are these men, whose soul'cannot point them to something belter than this V’ “ Sir,” said my friend, “you are mistaken. The miner is as happy in his occupation, and as proud of it as yon are of yours.— These things must be done; you should rath er thank God that there are men to be found ready and willing to dp them.” Hardly rebuked-by this—“U did not an swer my doubt,” 1 said, “ I did not see bow pny one could chops® such a -life.” “That,” said the guide, "is a myslery— very probably because their fathers . and grandfathers were miners before them, and they have never seen or beard of anything better. It is, however, certain, that .they ate contented, and, in their way, happy. 1 know many an old miner, those who have been in eminent peril of their lives spores .of limes who would rather npw work down, in these mines, in the midst of the fire-damjj, than labor on the surface for treble a miner’s wa ges. it is a thing we cannot explain but it is so.” My'guide went on ip his garrulous, though interesting strain. He spoke of the. terrible fire-damp—the most deadly enemy of-the op erator. Scarcely a day passes but some are burned with it, often fatally. It is-barmless of itself, hut on contact with fire, explodes with a terrific force—burning every one within its reach. It occurs more generally in-mines-where .there is want of ventilation, but no mine is entirely,free .from it—any blow from a pick may let a flood of tha pois iboons vapor out upon, the.ppeiatec., . The 'fact of the damp being fired inany, part of ithe mine becomes immediately, known to those in the other galleries by a pccgliarseo sation in the head. It-feels ns if powerfully compressed no either, sides bout the temples together with* smarting,, tingling in the-eyes.

Ah April Pool Hoax, -'— •’ • ’M V s The Mobile Evening iVewsiells the follow, ing story’; ’ -i- - ■ Sold. — As the Citjonelle train was on its downward trip to this'city yesterday morning, an incident occurred which caused to little amusement to'the pbssbnge'rsV’ 1 As' ihe train, was approaching the the “Eight Mile Station,” a lady quite, eleganjly attrred with akWefy' boquet of“wii(f flowers in her hand, and face entirely cbncealed from view by a haqdsdme veil, was'discovered standing on'the pjalfbrm. The train was ordered to stop, of course, to, take ih the fpirpasspnger—and stop' it did.— The gallant-commander immediately jumped opt upon the pfatform, acid dried as usual, ‘"ell ab6ard !’ > at the same time' raising bis tot and politely extending his hand to Help tqe lady aboard. She hOWOver-did tot 'fe-' cognize his gallantry ,~buf Stood dumb and' motionless as a statue. The astonished con ductor advanced and involuntarily raised the veil - ,'when to! ; fnStead of a 'fac'e'bf'female flesh and beauty, the words “April Fool," inscribed on a black "light wood .chunk,” met his astonished vision. He' started back, gave the sigrtal to be off with unusual violence,, jumped aboard, exclaimed to the innocent en gineer in a stentorian voice, “who the—— told you to stop here 1" , t-. The. sequel to the story—remarks the richer than the fore served a female figure standing in the middle of the track, apparently going toward the city. The train was on a descending grade, cbnsisting of eight cars pretty well loaded, and was going with” considerable speed. Conscious of all this, the conductor sounded the whistle furiously and shrilly, yet the fig ure moved not. She must be deaf thought' the conductor, and ordered to' slacken the speed,' and sounded another alarm but—'the ‘ woman still stood in the direct path of (he (ire-breathing locomotive ; while the distance, between the two was being rather uncomfbri "ably decreased. Now, really alarmed, the conductor shout ed to shut on the breaks hard down and shut off steam, but it was 100 late. The cars would not stop, and terrible to relate, the cow catcher caught the supposed woman and toss ed her full twenty feet off, lb the. horror and undisguised terror of assistant superintendent, conductor aud engineer, through Whose exci ted brains, were uncomfortable visions of in quest, grandjury, solicitor, etc. When,the train slopped they hurried with pallid cheeks and throbbing hearts, to the spot where the poor unfortunate rested, and 10l it was the same bit of wood, with the .same- "April Fool ” stamp that so troubled the Cilrqnelle conductor. Just then a merry, pejl <sf laugh; ter came from the neighboring, wood, apd a bevy ol girls were seen.enjoying something very much.

The parties engaged were a small company of soldiers, principally from Ashtabula and Trumbull counties, under the command of Capt. Joshua T. Cotton, and a superior body of Indians, Out.menbohaved with coolness and courage. Hon. Joshua R. Giddings— who has since actedso prominent a part in the councils of the nation, and who has ex hibited in a, very marked degree the posses sion of back-bone, a necessary requisite for a. champion in the oaupe of Freedom under Slaveocratic administrations—was present in this engagement—then a lad of sixteen.
