That one mountain alone contains coal enough above the level of tide water to supply the city of New Yolk for two hundred and six ty thousand yenta! and nn abundance of Iron are in the immediate n irinity!! It is n mine of wealth to that great state. Fifty beds of iron ore and anthra cite coal are exposed to virw, ling above the bed of Beat Vane 3. These This mineral beds are compri sed within a vertical distance of 1160 feet. They plunge or dip at an angle of about 45 deg. towards a commoncentre, or rather a centre line, the horizontal distance through all of them being only 45000 feet, which is less than a mile. Through the Big Lick mountain the Bear Valley railroad ?apses by a tunnel wl.ich penetrates most of these beds ttoiec—that is, striking across tl.e baiin, it passes through (he seams of beds ns they plunge v, ith the course of the road, and after passing the centre line, cuts them all again in the re‘crse older as they rise from the centre. Does the world exhibit a pat al" lel to this in richness of mineral and facility of access? The analysis given by Professor Johnson shows that -this coal is almost identical with a Welsh anthracite which is now used in making iron, instead of char coal. The ore is as inexhaustible as the cool. A railway now being constructed through the Valley, is An be 27 miles long, and comes to the Pennsylvania Canal, 3 milesaboveilartisburgh.

Thursday last, July 11th, was distinguished by a calamity, in this county, which. in all its circumstan ces. 'is unpal elided is feat ful hot ror by any accident within our recollection. This day, nt 7 o'clock, A. M., was appointed for the marriage of Chitties 1.1 Ket t ler, Esq.. of Prairie du Long, Monroe county, to Miss Rosalie Huelbig, deceased of Dutch Hill, in this Culla almut ten miles distant, on the cast side of Kaskaskia river. Intervening about half way is the river, which then was very high, and had overspread its banks. The wedding party was assembled and waiting at Mr Kinder's. The house was decorated most richly fat the occasion. "M true arose with its volup tuous swell," and 'from the house-top a llag•staff was reared, down which the flag hung motionless. "Your flag dr001.," sacs one, '•it is a sign of death!" The 1101/r passed without the bride. The sun crossed tlie meridian, and no news from lwr or any of her people. Evening, wits fast waning—when a messenger art iced with the dreadful tidings that all. except the father arid a son, were drownrd on their way to the wed ding—Five women—l he mother, the bride, two sisters, and a young female friend in their company. had met their deaths! In the waters of the Kll4kaskia all was enveloped, when life to theta was full of promise and iir ) ful anticipation. The bridegroom hastened to the river, and on its bank met the distracted aged Sather. who fell into his arms "They are all—all drowned," said lie. The corpz.eF. were before them, dressed in the habil iments of festivity, dripping with water. Death had ,ut his iron seal uptsn lioAe feat urea, and no more shall love and joy light up those eyes, or mantle those white "which but an hour ago Bluth'd at the praise of their own loveliness" Each corpse was taken tip and placed upon a bier, and the Sid pruces-ion, by seven o'clock in the evening, had reached the, la,usu of feasting—thus suddonly changed to a 110111.1' of !manning ! The feelings of this wedding parry—of the aged Luber—whose gray hairs are going down in sorrow to the grave, fur n family thus annihilated, of the brother, who mourns for his mother and all his sisters, thus struck down to gether in his presence, of n lover whose heart is riven with a thunderbolt. The feelings and emotions of these can neither be imagined or described. On the next day one grave was dog fur five persona —and side by side were they laid—the mother, with her three daughters, and their young friend and com panion, Miss Dressch “There the youthful and the There the matron and the maid In one silent bed ere laid.

Democracy.—The system of Democratic Govern - ' ment is most beautiful in its structure and benevolent in its operations. It is a transcript of the govern ment of GAL It is supported by the profoundest re searches of rhiltisorby, by the sublimet teachings of religion, the purest piety, the deepest virtue, the firm est faith, the brightest hope, the most extensive chari ty. It gives to each the tight of all. Each man is es timated a ?Mit, the sum of which make up the whole. What is the right of ono is the right all. It confers no title; it bestows no immunities. It makes each ac countable fir the whole, and pledges the protection of the *hole, for the good of each. The man that is born in insignificance, and bred in the cor ner, may, by a continuance in well rise to the centre of glory and honor. Merit is die only avenue to success, and the sons and daughters of the rich, by the neglect of virtue, by indulgence in vice, will sink into merited insignificance. The man in office may be removed without a revolution, while vacant seats are open to the emulation of all. I can conceive of no Colin of government so perfectly compatible with the sublime principles of christianity, or so directly c dculated to promote the happiness of till mankind, us a democracy. I t needs only to be understood in theory, and adopted in practice, by a people qualtied to test its qualities, to secure tlio admiration and support of every philundurpist throughout the world. —Rev. 11".

LIOUT IS COME New Sperm, Lard and Pine Oil Lamp SW*. TDE subscribers having opened a store, Nu a s , St Clair street, west sid,e) for the sale of Lamps re.pectinily invite the attention or the in intliitants of Pittsburgh, Allegheny and the surround ing country generally, to their stock of Lamps, before purchasing elsewhere. Our arrangements with the manufacturs are such shot we can safely say. we .are prepared to light in the most brilliant and economi cal manner. Steamboats, Hotels, Public Haas. - Churches, Stoics. Shops, Parlors. Bridges sad Streets, as well ns !he more "dark and benighted nor ners, or any ',Lice where brilliancy, neatness and strict econerny is desired. Among our means for letting our "light shine," may be found the following Lamps for burning Lard, Lard Oil and Sperm Oil, viz: Hanging Lamps and Chandeliers, (2 to 4 branch) For lighting Stores, Public klulis, Churches, tioiela and steamboats. Stand and Centre Table Lamps, (various pauernr and prices,) for Parlors. Reading and VV,Y.k Lumps. Side and Lamps, Glass and Tin Hand Lamps - &c. &c.

Dyott's Patent Pine Oil Lamps,such as Hanging lamps and Chandeliers, (2 to 6 branch ) • Stand and Centre Table Lumps, (Gino. Front. with or without drops,) Street lamps for lighting streets and bridges. As we cannot describe the various patterns, we coo• dially invite the public to examine them. We affirm that in brilliancy, cleanliness and economy, no light now in use will bear comparison with these lamps and Pine Oil. They are as safe to use as sperm or Lard Oil. Although some are endeavoring to identify Ibis article with the old camphino and spiritgas, (by the use of which accidents have occurred,) we assert this to be anal her and difTeren article. and that no accidents have occurred during the extensive use of this article in Philadelphia for four years. These Lamps trill produce as math light, with as much neatness and more brilliancy, and 2.5 per eta& less than any other light now in sac, net exceptissi Gas. If any one doubts statements we have, or may here• after make, we would say. ue have commenced our bu.inesa in Pituburgh, and knowiagthe merits Of Abet articles we offer to the public, we are willing to bold ourselves accountable at all times fur our statements, and are willing to put to test our Lamp--dollars and cents,—testing economy—and the publi: decided oa the neatness and brilliancy of the light. We have many testimonials from residents of Phila delphia and elsewhere, but the following- may suffice for the resent. This is to certify that I have purchased of M. B. Dyartt a sufficient number ()chi% Patent Pine Oil Lamps to light the Universalist Church of Philadelphia, and have used them in :AM Church about two years.• I have found them to give perfect satisfaction. Tile, light produced by them is the most brilliant that I have ever seen. they are so economical that the coat of the Lamps has been saved several firms over; the lighting up of the Church not costing half as much as it. did before we procure them. Respectfully, J OHN DESSALET, Secretary of the above uamed Church. Philadelphia, July 8, 1845. The undersigned having used for tato yenrs Dymt's Patent Pine Oil Lamps in his Hot6l, the Buliver House, can recommend theta as the most economical and brilliant light that can be produced by any ani cle now in I:se. Before I commenced lighting - my hoose with the Pine Oil, I was using the Gas; but af ter a trial of the above Lumps, I wns so much plea sed with the light. and convinced of their economy, that I had the Gus removed and burn the Tine Oil in its place.
