Every one poising through this the black appearahco of the hous CITARBERSBURG, PA.; WED immense clouds of smoke always hanging (her the city, remarks, that this must be a great place for coal. So it is; the country. all round is full of the best:quality of bitu minous coal, and nine-tenths of all the coal used along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers are taken from this market. Lately a great deal of trouble has been made' by the dig ger, hytheir periodical strikes. Last week they demanded five cents per bushel for dig ging and it 'vas given. They are about to, strike again for six cents. The action ,of theso'diggers, if the owners of banks are not more. watchful, will destroy the coal inter ests of this section of the country:: Discove ries and enterprise will open up , new fields in other quarters, so as to obtain a cheaper article, and if owners and Manufacturers will continue to allow aTevery strike, an advance, they will find the bad effects of it in the end. A coal digger in ti bituminous bank will put' out over one hundred bushels per day ; so coal digging at five cents per bushel, is eer-, tainly a paying trade. - No. one, three years ago, - Would ever have supposed that in so short a time, coal Would be fifteen centsper btishel at the mouth of these banks. • Alt through the country Wherever I have been, I hear of only one. person spoken orfor President, that is' Abraham Lincoln.

A Spiry' Debate in / the Sennte—Senatortt Champneys and Clymer on n Rampage —The Bill Allowing ,Soldiers to VoW -- -The 'Apportfoutoent-p-Gov--47wettn. Correspondence of tho Franklin Itepository. . But little of interest has transpired here (luring the past week. The Senate preserves 'its deadlock sacredly; and nothing'short of a Senatorial funeral could it the present aspect of things until the sue essor of Major Whitt , is chosen. The Senate is not, how ever,, as monotonous ns might be supposed. Eachl session is compelled tO get up some sort_ of a Sensation to put in the time, and - once in a white the proceedings become thrilling in inierest. t ' Last week Senators Clymer and • Champneys 'changed the performance by the fiercest debate that the Senate has witnessed for some years. In 'the course of a speech Senator champneys declared that had the Democrats triumphed at the last election, it was given out by their leaders that the troops 'would be' withdrawn from the army to their respective States by the Democratic Exectt tive.s,: and ho intimated that Senator Clymer had given the same pledge to the people. Mr. Clymet, usually philosophical, lost his temper and of course his Wits went with it, and he hurled the falsehood ,diresat the von erable Senator from ..Lancasttfr and had it retorted back upon hint ith a zest uncom mon to a man of nearly four-score years. Explantitions 'follOwed, and the silver lining of the Senatorial cloud brightened into the fulness of suisshi no again. .° The House instructed the Judiciary:cam 'friittee to report a bill providing for taking the vote of the soldiers, and the bill is now before the House. The vote instructing the committee was nearly unanimous; but when the decisive , vote comes, there will be .the fiercest opposition manifested by the Demo.: cratie leaders. They proft›s to. be for the pros4ution of the war, but oppose every measure necessary to give it success ; and th.ly profeSs to be in favor of allowing the soldiers to :vete, but will oppose every necessary measure to enable them to cast their ballots. They will do it by cowardly quibbles,. and endeavor to engraft such amendments upon the bill as would defeat measurabley or wholly the right of s.-ffrage in the army. The Apportionment of the State into legis lative districts is the absorbing question just now. A few of the Union mon insist upon sueltmonstrosities as the association of York 1 1 and Lancaster; Westmoreland and Somerset; Franklin Fulton and Huntingdon, &c; but a fair - bill will be matured and passed, giving the Union strength full juitice and attempt's -ing nothing 'more. Franklin and, Adams will probably be 'formed into a Senatorial district, and each county 'given a member: They 'have been so long associated Senator ially that they should not now be separated, and especially as, they are, and for' nearly half a century have been, joined in the-con gressional 'district._ - :Bedford, Fulton and SoMerset will probablY' form one Assembly district and elect two members, and Cumber land and Perry will each have ono member._ Gov.
