In to-day's Journal will be found our new
price-list of subscription, etc. The price of
'the paper has been increased 50 cents on
"advance payments. "We were induced to
make this increase on accorint of the enor
mous price we have to pay for all kinds of
printing materials. Our paper heretofore
cost us about S cents a pound, now it costs
, 28. We hope that this fact alone will be a
-sufficient explanation to our patrons for the
course we have adopted. Xo doubt, we will
lose a few subscribers on account of this
small advance, but all liberal-minded men
will justify us in so doing, and will rather
pay the increase than see us loe by printing
our paper at the old price. In fact, many
of our frieuds have urged us to raise our
terms, hn since ; and a few have been lib
eral enough to pay us two dollars even be
fore we raised the price. They have our
thanks tor their kindness.
All who have paid their subscriptions in
advance, will receive the Journal at the old
rates, until their time expires ; and all oth
ers, who pay on or iefore January court,
will only be charged former prices.
SHEBMAN.
We are still without official news from
Sherman', but we gather from the Rebel
papers that he is rapidly approaching Sa
vannah, having met with, comparatively,
no resistance. He has certainly succeeded
in crossing the Oconee river, the only for
midable barrier to his advance. The Rich
mond papers admit that he had captured
- 3Iil!en, Georgia, on the 20th, which was
the depot for Union prisoners. The latest
Savannah papers, report him within forty
miles of that city, and by last nights mail he is
said to be within six miles. No doubt before
this, Savannah has fallen, and Sherman has
triumphantly accomplished his task the
most brilliant achievement that ever adorned
the annab of a nation.
EXECUTION OF MULLEE.
Franz Muller, who was recently arrested
in this country for committing the mysteri
ous railroad murder in England, was execut
ed in front of Newgate Goal, in London, on
Monday morning the 14th ult. Executions
in England are still public, and this was
witnessed by an. immense crowd of people.
The necessary preparations were made du
ring the previous night, and the crowd be
gan to assemble, hi the rain about four o'
clock in the inorning. At eight o'clock the
ceremonies of the execution commenced.
Muller was pale, but calm and collected.
While all about him were visibly touched,
not a muscle of his face moved, and he allow
ed no sign of emotion. He was attended
by the Rev. Dr. Cappel, a Lutheran minis
ter. He ascended the scaffold with a firm
fctep. After he had been placed upon th;
drop, and the rope adjusted about his neck,
Dr. Cappel addressed him as follows : "In
a few moments, Muller, you will stand be
fore God ; I ask you again, for the last time,
iire you guilty or innocent?" He replied:
' "I am innocent." Dr. Cappel said, "Yon
are innocent?" Muller answered "God
' Almighty kuows what I have done." Dr.
Cappel said "Does God know that you have
done this particular deed?" Muller replied
"Yes I have done it," speaking in Geman.
The drop fell, and in a few brief moments
the last struggle was over.
Muller left behind him a written state
ment, reiterating the arguments on which
he and his friends relied to prove his in
nocence. Had he not confessed, there
would have been large numbers of persons
every where who would have firmly" believ
ed in his innocence. He could not have been
convicted in this country on the same evi
dence, for his trial was exceedingly loose and
unsatisfactory. Ilia confession however,
effectually sets all doubts at rest.
Major General Banks, we are not sur
prised to know, will resume the position to
which hh able policy has rendered him in
despensible at the head of the Department
of the G ulf, (including Louisiana, Arkansas,
and Mississippi), superceding Gen. Caxby,
more especially in the civil administration.
He returns to his post at the request of the
President, to continue and mature a policy
of freg labor which time has approved, and
which, when the war lias accomplished its
work, -nill furuish a basis for the popular
system of freedom in the South. Gen.
Banks' efforts, so much misunderstood, but
thoughtfully endorsed by the Government,
will be fully vindicated in the result.

CAIOTEL COAL.
. In the State Geological Report, Professor
H. D. Rogers says that "much difficulty is
experienced in the district around the town
of Clearfield in identifying the coal-seams
of neighboring localities, and after close in
vestigation, aided by frequent diggings, the
stratification remains quite obscure" not
more 'obscure,' however, we may be per
mitted to add, than many things in Profes
sor Rogers" book. The boring of the "oil
well" here, if it results iu nothing more,
will at least, do much to remove the difficul
ty of which the State Geologist complained,
arid will develop the "stratification" below
the tied of the river which he found and
left in "obscurity." The well has now reach
ed a depth of about seventy feet, passing in
this distance through four small coal-seams,
one oi them about thirty feet from the sur
face and fourteen feet below the bed of the
river being a vein of cannel coal about four
inches thick, and supported by white sand
stone. It is probably the same coal seam
which appears at the foot of the hill back of
the town of Brookville. where it is one loot
thick and rests on "flaggy sand-stone," (Ti
onesta, according to Rogers.) The small
seam which appears near Ebenbburg, Cam
bria county, is above this, while the Snow
Shoe -earn (six inches thick) is probably be
low it. As it recedes from the river it,
doubtless increases in thicknsss, and could
possibly be worked by sinking a shaft as
they do in the anthracite coal fields.
Before giving the result of an anu-sis of
thu coal, which proves to be of a very supe
rior quality, we may state for the benefit of
those readers who are unacquainted with
cannel coal, that it is a dry, highly bitumin
ous substance, of very close texture and lit
tle lustre, resembling black slate. It is usu
ally obtained in larg3 rectangular blocks, of
smooth and clear surface which break with a
conchoidal fracture. It is easily cut with a
sharp instrument, and admits of a fine pol
ish, wherefore it is much used for the man
ufacture of ornaments, trinkets, etc. From
the large amount of combustible matter
which it contains it kindles with remarkable
rapidity, burning with a clear yellow flame,
without melting or running down. It is this
property which gives it the name "cannel,"
which is the Lancashire pronunciation of
the word candle. It is especially adapted
to steam purposes, as it bears transportation'
better than any other bituminous coaL For
the manufacture of gas, it is superior to all
other coals a good quality yielding from
16,000 to 13,000 cubic feet per ton. The
most prolific gas coals always yield the best
coke. It is also very productive in coal oil,
paraffine, benzole, &c. From 22 lbs. of
Freeport cannel coal, which only contained
34 per cent, of volatile matter, Dr. Alter ob
tained 33 ouuees of crude oil, a gallon of
which yielded one ounce of paraffine, beside
coal tar, the lighter oils, benzole, etc.
An analysis (hy destructive distillation) of
the coal found here shows the following re
sult. In 1 00 parts we have
Volatile matter, :::::: 61.22
Fixed carbon, : : : : : : : 29 05
Earthy matter, :::;::: 9.73
Sulphur slight t ratio.
100 00
A comparison of this result with other
highly bituminous coals, will show that this
is richer in volatile matter than almost any
other yet discovered. The Torbane-hill
cannel coal, in. Scotland, contains 67.11 per
cent, of volatile matter,f and the Breckin
ridge, Ky., cannel coal contains 64.30 per
cent. Our ordinary bituminous coal only
contains 18.81 percent., and the Pittsburg
coal 32. 'Jo percent. The mean of the fat
English coals is 37.00 per cent, of volatile
matter. From the small quantity obtain
ed it was impossible to determine its tenaci
ty, elasticity, electrical power, etc. Enough
however was procured to demonstrate that
its discovery in sufficient quantity to be suc
cessfully worked would only be secondary in
importance to the finding of petroleum itself.
It is proballe that this coal .learn is iden
tical with the one near Freeport on the East
ern side of the Allegheny river, below the
mouth of the Kiskiminetas. It is there a
bout five feet thick, though of inferior qual
ity, and rests immediately on the sand-stone,
which is thirty feet in thickness. It may be
supposed by some persons that this region
is too elevated for these seams to be identi
cal. Indeed, it is a common mistake to lo
cate Clearfield higher up in the clouds than
it really is. The Eastern summit of the
Mountain (parallel with Clearfield) is 2300
feet above the Atlantic tides. The descent
to Philipsburg is 823 feet, and from thence
to Clearfield 445 feet, so that we are jud
1032 feet above tide-water. The Ohio riv
er at Pittsburg is 1 150 feet above the ocean. j
Thus it will be seen that the cannel coal dis
covered here and that of Freeport, are on
about the same geological horizon, ft and
are probably identical Prof. Rogers' "ob
scurity" and "six basons" to the contrary
notwithstanding. There are other reasons for
this hypothesis, but they are based on scien
tific details difficult to present in a popular
form, and which would only encumber an
article of this character. If this surmise
be correct, the discovery of petroleum at a
depth corresponding with that of the lower
Couemaugh and Allegheny sale wells, is not
improbable.

A London Crowd,
The public execution of Muller,afforded a
splended example of a London crowd. With
all our riots, and public political and other
meetings in this country, no such crowd as
that which howled around the scaffold of the
wretched 31 tiller could possibly be collected.
It is without a parallel in any civilized na
tion. Even the London Units, is obliged
to say that "none but those who looked down
upon the awful crowd of Monday will ever
believe in the wholesale, open, broad-cast
manner in which garroting and highway rob
bery were carried on. We do not now speak
of those whom the mere wanton mischief of
the crowd led to 'bonnet' as they passed, or
else to pluck their hats off their heads and
toss them over the mob, amid roars and
shouts of laughter, as they came from all
sides and went in all directions, till sometimes
even they fell within the enclosure round
the drop, and were kicked under the gallows
by the police. The propriety of such an a
museraent at such a time admits of ques
tion, to say the least, even among such an
audience. But even this rough play falls
into harmlessness beside the open robbery
and violence which yesterday morning had
its sway virtually unchecked in Newgate.
There were regular gangs, not so much in
the crowd itself within the barriers asakng
the avenues which led to them, and these
vagrants openly stopped, 'bonneted,' some
times garroted and always plunderd an:,'
person whose dress led them to think him
worth the trouble; the risk was nothing.
Sometimes their victims made desperate re
sistance, and for a few minutes kept the
crowd around them violently swaying to and
fro amid the dreadful uproar. In no in
stance, however could we ascertain that 'po
lice !' was ever called. Indeed, one of the
solitary instances in which they interfered
at all was where their aid was sought from
some houses the occupants of which saw an
old farmer, who after a long and gallant
struggle with his many assailants, seemed
after having been robbed, to be in danger of
serious injury as well. This, however, about
the farmer, is a mere episode; the rule was
such robbing and ill-treatment as made the
victims only too glad to fly far from the spot
where they had sufferd it, and who, if even
then they ventured on giving any informa
tion to the police, could hope for no redress
in such a crowd. Such were the open pas
times of the mob from daylight till near the
time of execution, when the great space a
round the prison seemed choked with its
vast multitude."
Eichmond "Within our Grasp.
It has been frequently intimated tliatGen.
Grant could take Richmond any time it
pleased him to do so. The correspondent of
the N. Y. 7'riliunc, at the headquarters of the
Army of the James does not say that, but
he indicates it by some facts which he re
lates. On Thanksgiving day, some of our
men at Fort Brady, indulged in a few ex
periments with the Greek fire shells, which
were attended with grand success. They
drew the fire of the rebels, by which it was
discovered that they have 7 and 8-inch
Brook's guns, lo-ineh Columbiads and
Whitworth guns mounted on the Rebel
works across the James River. Our men
have discovered also, that even' house iu
Petersburg lies in easy reach of oUr works, and
that we possess guns which are able, from
an advanced position, to reach the very
heart of the city of Richmond. With these
advantages on our side, 'Lee continues. to
issue his inhuman instructions to his sharp
shooter to look out for Gen. Butleii and
shoot him the first opportunity, and that
notwithstanding the fact that Lee is fre
quently seen on the parapet of the Rebel
works, Gen. Bi tleu will not allow any cow
ardly advantage to be taken of the circum
stance. J'eople may well ask: "Who is
the Beast?" When the proper time ar
rives, we may expect to hear of a move
ment such as will send more consternation
into the ranks of the enemy.
Important Decision by the Attorney General
of Pennsylvania.
Hon. Wm. M. Meredith, Attorney Gene
ral of the State, rendered his opinion yester
day, deciding that ITon. Alexander King
was legally elected Judge of the 16th Judi
cial District, composed of the .counties of
Franklin, Fulton, Bedford.and Somerset,and
that he was entitled to his commission. It
will be remembered that the return Judges
of Bedford county deliberately threw out the
entire soldiers' vote of that county,by which
fraud it was claimed that Mr. Kimmel had
received a majority for President Judge.
Attorney General Meredith's opinion in
this case, is spoken of as one of the -ablest
and fairest ever de!ivered,alike controlled by
the facts in the ease and aiming to vindicate
the rights of all concerned in the issue. The
case, indeed, is so clear that it is conSdeutly
predicted Mr. Kimmel will never attempt to
contest the decision of the Attorney Gener
al. HarrisLurg Telegraph.
Condition of Early's Soldiers.
Kershaw's division of Early's army
was seen returning to Richmond several
days ago. Their condition is described as
having been fearful in the extreme. They
were almost starved, and made a rush into
the market, clearing everything out as they
advanced. This had the effect of advancing
the prices of family suplies a hundred per
cent. Many of those miserable men were
ibarefooted ; all were ragged and dirty, some
of them not having euough of clothing to
conceal their nakedness. . . .
THE WAR NEWS.
Nashville, December 2. A full account
of the battle at Franklin and its antecedents,
has been received, which must be chronicled
as on-i of the most brilliant, in its general
results, of the war.
For three days sharp skirmishing was
kept up during the retirement of our army
from Duck river to Franklin, during which
time a multiplication of exploits and suces
ses resulted to the national arms. General
Cox conducted the rear guard on the 2Pth
ult., and achieved a splendid victory over
the rebels at Springhill, while General Wil
son's cavalry gained a series of important
successes over Forests advance under Roddy,
on the Pike between Truine and Spring!) ill.
During the afternoon of the 30th ult., the
rebel army sorely pressed us, under Hood,
who had Cheatham's and Stewart'a corps,
and a portion of Dick Taylor's command,
numbering in all over 22.000 men. Owing
to Cox's gallant check at Springhill, a por
tion of the 4th and 24th corps were enabled
to. gain Franklin early in the day, where
they threw up a line of breastworks, extend
ing from one end to the other of the curve
in the river, behind which our entire infant
ry command took position.
At presisely 4 l. m. , the entire force
made a charge, and succeeded in making a
temporary break in our centre, commanded
by Wagner. With characteristic impetuosi
ty, the soldiers composing Cheatham's corps
dashed into the breastworks, co-operating
with the attacking party on their left, and
attempted to envelope and destroy our right.
In the nick of time, the troops of Wagner
were rallied, and throwing their whole force
upon the rebel column, drove back the
storming party in great disorder, capturing
several hundred prisoners. Four times af
ter, the rebels charged iu three lines but
were repulsed as often, with great slaughter.
The rebels numbered at least two to our
one, as nearly half of the 4th and 23d corps
were in the reserve. Our breastworks were
only knee high, and the rebel loss in killed
is three times our own, while their wounded
is at least six times more than ours, most of
our men being wounded in the head, arms,
and body. The artillery fire of the enemy
was made with great precision, but their
amunition consisted chiefly of shot and shell,
while for two hours immense quantities of
more murderous missiles were hurled with
fearful fury into the rebel lines. All at
tempts of the rebels to gain a permanent
advance were frustrated, and at dark the
Federal position was unchanged, while the
rebels retired uuder cover of the woods
south of the Columbia pike.
The rebel loss, as before stated, is fully
6. 000, including 1,000 prLsonsers, anunusu
ly large number of whom are officers. Our
loss reached a total of about 1,000.
Our forces als3 captured thirty stand of
colors, which is a fair index of the extent of
the victory over I Food's rebel troops.
An artillery duel was kept up till near
midnight when our troops commenced -crossing
Ilarpcth River, bringing all our trains
and paraphanelia over in safety before day
light. The army then retired to within
four miles of this city, at wliich point our
front line confronts the enemy. The falling
back of the army is in accordance with the
programme, ami the battle at Franklin, was
an impromptu affair and was braught about
owinsr to the necessity to check the rebel ad
vance and insure the safe crossing of the
river by our troops.
Prom Grant's Army.
Between three and four o'clock, A. 31., on
Thursday, December 1st, Gen. Gregg start
ed on a raid to Stony creek station on the
Weldyn railroad. Col. Smiths brigade was
left at the bridge over Rowanty creek, to pre
vent the rebels from getting in his rear, af
ter which he continued his advar.ee upon
Stony creek station. The station is situated
in a narrow valley, and is commanded by
two forts, in which were 300 rebels. Our
boys advanced gallantly on a charge, across
the open space in front and crossed the
stream, and soon the fortifications, the can
non, and rebels were ours. Hay, grain,
and provisions and subsistance of all kinds,
sufficient to feed Lee's army a considerable
time, were burnt together with manufac
turies of cotton goods, engine boilers, and
steam and flouring mills, etc. At Duval's
station a train of wagons was captured and
brought off, and a train of cars burnt. Our
loss in this gallant affair was twenty-eight 3
killed, 24 wounded, and 1 missing.
Latest from Tennessee.
The forces of Gen. Thomas are entrenched
in a semi-circle in front, and about three
miles distant from Nashville. Hood's army
is in sight of the city, and it is expected
that he will make an attack on our works.
Skirmishing had taken place on the 4th,
and a general engagement is likely to occur
at any moment. The rebel General S. D.
Lee, has issued an address to his soldiers
promising them the spoils of Nashville
but it is confidently asserted, that Thomas
can defeud the city successfully against any
rebel force that may be brought against it.
Attorney General Bates has ended his
official labors, after a period Of distinguished
and important service in which his high in
tegrity and ability have been recognized by
by the nation. Ho leaves the office, which
he did not seek;for the retirement which his
declining years have long sought, and car
ries with him the praise and good wishes of
his ccuritrymen. Press.
Volunteers for the State Guard.
It is now clearly understood that all volun
teers for the first five regiments of the Slate
Guard will, if embraced in any future draft
be furloughed by the War Department for
the time they actually remain in the State
service. And when this time in the State
Guard is served out, it will be regarded
as the expiration of this furlough, the man
thereafter to be ordered into the United
States army, there to complete the time for
which he was drafted. All such volunteers
will also be credited on any future drafts
wliich the War Department may make for
their full term of service to the State, thus :
If a volunteer in the State Guaid serves one
year, and he should after the expiration of
his time be -drafted by the United States,
for two or more years, he will receive a credit
on such a draft of the year devoted to the
State. These are important facts, and will
no doubt induce the speedy filling up of the
first five regiments of the State Guard.

Ox Friday evening Nov. 25th, John Ca
rey, in company with several other Irish
men, went to a Confectionary and Lager
Beer Saloon kept by Mrs. Freidel, about a
mile from Lock Haven on the road leading
to Flemington. and while there Carev pur
chosed some candy &e., amounting in all to
ninety-five cents, and started with the rest
of his company out of the saloon without
paj ing for what he h;d purchased. They
all got out but Carey who was prevented
from going out by Mrs. Friedel who closed
the door and held it, protesting against his
leaving until he had paid her the ninety
five cents. Carey then took hold of her and
threw her down upon the floor. She called
to her little boy about twelve or fourteen
years old, for help. The boy took up a
double barreled pistol that was behind the
counter and fired the contents of one barrel
at Care, the load taking effect on the right
side of his head about halfway between his
eye and ear, from the effects of which he
died the next evening. Mrs. Friedel and
her son were both committed to prison.
On a writ of Italian corpus, tried before
Judge Batcheler on Saturday morning, Mrs.
Friedel wa3 released on bail. The boy was
detained in custody.
Death op a Very Old Man. Joseph
Montgomery, of Wayne township, Clinton
county, was found dead in his bed on Wed
nesday morning Nov. 23d. After eating a
hearty meal onTuesday evening, he retired
in his usual health, and Ls supposed to have
died of nightmare. Mr. Montgomery was
93 years of age at the time of his death.
He came to this country with his father in
1792, and has ever since resided near where
he died. He voted for Gen. Wa-shington
at his second election, and attended the
polls on the 8th November and cast his vote
for Abraham Lincoln. He was never mar
ried, but lived among his kindred, who, du
ring his last years of infirmity cared tender
ly for him. Mr. Montgomery was probably,
at the time of his death, the oldest inhabit
ant of Clinton county.
Correspondents in the armies of the Po
tomac and the James give very interesting
accounts of the celebration of Thanksgiving
Day by the soldiers. Unfortunately, the
turkeys and other good things did not reach
some of the cor is in time to be enjoyed on
that day. In the Ninth corps, among other
thanksgiving ceremonies, was the dedication
of a new chapel. Tt is said that since the
news et President Lincoln's reelection has
beconiejgenerally known among the soldiers,
de.ertiens to the Union lines have largely
increased. Those who come over say that
immense numbers of others arc all the time
watchingfor opportunities to escape and that
so general is the demoralization that few
can be trusted on picket by their officers.
A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
Inquirer of Monday says: Information hav
ing reached the War Department that an at
tempt was to be "made to fire simultaneously
the war building and some adjacent ones. the
regiment of the War Department Rifles
was called out and put on special patrol
duty, and the conspiracy was baffled ior the
present. Watchmen and patrols are now
doing duty on all public buildings, and any
one detected in any suspicious conduct will
be summarily dealt with. "No' prisoners
will be taken." So guerrillas had better
beware.
A law case of some interest has been de
cided at Liverpool. The cook of t!i ship
Conflict sued the Captain for his wages, at
$45 per month. The Captain tendered the
money at the rate of 100 per cent, premium
for gold. The court decided that a dollar in
Liverpool was a dollar, and that he must be
paid the whole face of the contract, not in
depricated paper, but in gold. If this rule
is to stand, ship Captains will do well to pay
their hands in advance, or remodel their a
greements, and sailors, of course, will also do
well to get their wages .paid on this side the
water.
