IN rive Navy Department, on American coal, I is a - very Interesting document, and to the citizens of Pittsburgh it is especially so sin account of the infor- illation it gives of a production which forms an im portant item in the business of our city. Bat, while we admit that great labor and research have been be stowed upon the Report, we cannot but complain of the manner in which the l'ituburgh coal has been no ticed by the writer. It is hard to imagine that one who bed collected so much information of the produc tions of other portions of the country neve? heard of the vast mineral wealth of this region; and our aston ishment increases when we remember that the author of tbe Report is a citizen of our own State. We would be reluctant to attribute the slight notice which the Pittsburgh coal receives, to any improper motive, but to the minds of many it will bear the appearance of an elfin t to conceal a knowledge of the excelletwe of our article for the purpose of giving a higher charac ter to the leas valuable productions of other portions of the country. It is well known that our excellent bituminous coal is incomparably superior to the nn thracite of the eastern part of the state, but we find that remost every eastern mine that is worked by • Cow:pasty, and the product of which is carried to the Philadelphia marke'—Mr Johnson's place of resi dences—receives a particular notice, and the qualities of the coal are set forth in the most favorable manner. But the Pittsburgh sample, which was received from NC IC Orleans, is passed over with the remntk that the sample was "scarcely enough fur a bare trial under the steam boiler, and certainly not enough for a full development of its properties." From the elaborate manner in which this Report was prepared, we hare no doubt but the information it contains has cost the Government many thousands of dollars, and we are sorry to see in it such an apparent disposition to favor one portion of the country to the injury of another, infinitely more deserving. The object which the Government had in view in causing experiments to be made with the different kinds of Coal, was lir ascertain which would make the best fuel to be used in steam navigation and other pur poses. We have never heard any one acquainted with the use of coal for generating steam, deny the great superiority of the coal found in we stein Pennsylvania, to that produced by any other mines in the country. The facility with which it ignites and its great combustible properties, make it the most de sirable to be used for the generation of steam, and then the low price at which it could be furnished at all the points where the Gi.vernment would desire it, would commend it on the score of economy. But by such reports as the one before us, a knowledge of its excel lence is not permitted to extend beyond the neighbor hood where it is produced, and, consequently, we find the Government advert is'ng for an article greatly inferior to it in quality and fur which a much higher juice must be paid. The next time Government authorises experiments to be made with the different kinds of Coals produced in the country, we hope it will not be necessary to send a sample of the Pittsburglearticle from Nen , r leans, and that it may be received in such quantity as will enable these who assay its properties togive it a full and fair trial.

'f he weight of the bridge is 9 tone 1 cwt.— The span is 31 feet—the cords are made of wrought iron. It is said to be the first iron bridge ever con structed in this country--,cost about $1.600.

Waall remember that before his peculiar acquaints ante w ith the fifteen whirr, he was unscrupulous in his denunciation of slavery and slaveholders, and no per son ever expected to find the philanthropic Deacon bending his knee to the "dark spirit." But it very sudden and extraordinary change has come over his feelings on this subject, and now, instead of denounc ing the slaveholders, he publishes an article denouncing the abolitionists in language stronger than was ever em ployed by Mr Clay in his abuse of the men who be thinksare trying to deprive him of his "propel 13 ." Yesterday morning he published anarticle condemn ing the abolitionists, in which they are called "kna vish fanatics," vils Inca, natc," and haus oth er epithets nlike complimentary and modems,. This iv bat the beginning of the Deacon's pro-sln very labor; if he should continue to improve, we will soon have him, like Mr Clay, demanding white slaves if ha is not permitted to keep black ones, and ex• pressing his full belief in the sanctify of the "rem- liur itation."

Col Stnne of the Plattsburgh Republican, "took unto himself" u wife, about three weeks since; ho addresses his unmarried patrons pathetically up on the subject of matrimony, and winds up most e quivocally, by recommending them to "go and do just —as they please." DROWNE.D.—The Itrownsvillo Herald of this week, stales, that Jamer. Gilmme, and a colored boy, named Robinson, were drowned, in Dunlap's Creek, at that place, while engaged in drawing water. Their bodies were tecuvered in a short time, but all efforts to resus citate them were unavailing. A SLATE Ca E.—A couple of Slave Catchers siezed a colored man in the neighborhood of Blairsville, a few days since, alleging that he was a runaway strive. He was brought before Judge NVhite on a writ of ha beas corpus, and hearing arguments from both par ties, the Judge decided that there was not sufficient ground to detain him, and he was discharged. Gov. Su An Not:, late Ministerto Mexico, arrived in Washington city on last Monday. It Is urolerstood that he intends making a report to the Government im mediately upon the Mexican instalments. In the mean time, it is supposed by the Union that the follow. ing statement which hes appeared in the "New York Journal of Commerce," exhibits the material fact& of thecae. It thus appears that the administration has acted wisely in declining to pay these instalments under the contingent appropriation of the last Congress. The Mexican indevnniiy.—Since Gov. Shannon's arrival in this city ,we find the cnse of the Mexican in dcmnity to be just us we presumed. Mr. Voss our a gent, had found it impossible to get the money at the treasury of the capital, as the revenue was constantly anticipated for the army and thedomestic creditors' be. 1 fore reaching its central point. Mr. Voss therefore found it necessary to du as others did, and take drafts I on the treasuries of the departments, which had just been arranged when Mr. Sutton arrived. There was no doubt, at the time, that the draft, would be speedily paid, DA the design of the government was evidently I fair. Mr. Voss receipted these bills as payment, the Mexican minister announced the pRWMent. and Mr. S sent home the announcement with kin ewnendorse. meet. The drafts were haeded to a barge house in the city of Mexico for collection; but the revolution broke out soon after. and all the money was seized a t pun for the arm): and whoever could get it first. This Is the only reason why the money was nut received.— An it is, the drafts are still in the hands of the agents of the United States, unsatisfied. The Mexican governownt, however, invent] of re garding the money as paid, or themselves released in nny way by the transaction, count themselves doubly bound to pay, and will undoubtedly pay these drafts, whatever may be done about the subsequent instal- ments. The whole matter seems to have been as sveli man aged as it could be. At any rate the Indemnity stands as well, and in fact much better, than if the drafts had not been taken. Sally Muller declared Frec.—Judgment was yes terday rendered in the Supremo Court in favor of the plaintiff in the case of Sally Muller vs. Louis Bel moral and John F. Miller, called in warranty.— The decree was read by his honor Judge Bullard, and is said to be a document characteristic of his judicial alainmentv. The counsel for the unfortunate—or per haps we should now say the fortunate—Sally, were Christian linselius and Wheelock S. Upton, and wo learn that it is in contemplation by thrrse who have ta ken an interest in the fate of the planitiff to pay them some public mark of respect. Some twelve months ago, vs hen this case was before the District Court, we gave a brief sketch of its fea tures. Sully claimed to be born in Germany and Ger man parents; of having come to this country when an infant with her father and mother, who reached hero as "redemptioners," and died shortly after their arri val. John F. Miller alleged that she was born a slave and his property; us such he brought her up, and us such he sold her to Louis Belmonti; and now, after being for n quarter of a century or thereabouts sub jected to all the degradation of domestic bondage and setvile labor, she is by our highest tribunal, declared free! Were we to publish the judgment in full, it to (mid occupy too great a space in our COllll7ll/6; we give, how ever. the t.onclusion of " It has been said that the German witnesses are imaginative and enthusiastic. and that their confideme ought to he distrusted. That kind of enthusiasm is at least of a rptit.t sort, evidently the result of a profuund conviction, and certainly free from any taint of world ly interest. and is by no means incompatible with the most perfort conscientiousness. If they are mistaken -a s to the indent ity of the plaint iB—if there be in truth two persona about the same age, bearing a strong re semblance to the family of Danl.!

It it therefore ordered, adjudged and decreed that the jedgment of the District Court be reversed, and ours is that the plaintiff be released ft - om the bonds of slavery, that the defendant pay the costs of the appeal , and that the case be remanded for further proceedings as between the defendant, 13eiroonti, and Ids warren I tor, John F.

That No rder.—We mentioned on Saturday that a most diaholiral murder had been committed in Lewis county, Ky., by a man named Schoonover. We un dendood on Saturday that there were three other men concerned in this murder who had been taken. The men's name we, Steele, and it appears that the cause of his murder was that he was the only living witness against a gong of villains in Lewis county, who are shortly to be tried for counterfeiting, stealing, swind ling, &c. No doubt this gang, to which Schoonover and the three others belong, caused the death of i Steele. Ihe ruffians went to his house—pretended to haven warrant for him—and when he stepped out of the door, they placed a bullet through his heart. One villein then held one arm, another the other, and look ed in his faceuntil they saw signsof deatb,soastomsike sure their work, when they let him full. Steele's wife saw all this—the villains then left but remembering that Mrs S. might recognise them they returned to murder her, but the brother of the murdered man came up at this moment when they lied, but were taken and they are now in jail. Mr Steele wits a resi dent of Lewis county, but, we believa, he had lived in Scioto in this State from where Schoonover went bu t a few weeks since. Such a horrible and cold hooded murder is seldom committed. We hope no pains will be 'peril to arrest Schoonover.—Cis.
