A CHANGE OF PROGRAMME
,
But a few - Weeks since our Deinoaratic
friends had a beautiful scheme laid fq the
displacement of the horrid Abolitionists, lhe
restoration of the old Democratic piirti to
power, and, of course, as an end and conse
quence of these measures, tji(!?,
vii Lion of the Country. Their plan of 'oper
ations was certainly one worthy of the as-'
tillerless of the men who conceived it, and
will ensure their reputations through all coin
ing time. It was nothing less than an ap
propriation of President. Johnson to them
selyes. This accomplished they would have
every thing tosuithhoir purposes: , It wouLdbe
a m agn Open t.,,aglil6.yetn tint, it blood leas v ic
to ry; a national triumph obtained without
even the effort usually necessary to elect a
Congressman: They attempted to accom
plish by a simple strategic movement what
they most signally failed to do last fall by a
most furious Campaign. Once . conceived
the !dim was pressed most vigorously. The
jourmds and orators that had Most persist
ently villi fled, ridiculed and abused '' An
drew Joh n=on •' suddenly discovered thc- most
sterling qualities or a ruler in the new Pres
ident 1111(1 /dl Went if/ wed( to give thorn the
publicity. Mr. Johnson's record was
now proniameed entirely satisfactory. Ile
had always been a Democrat. and wits eollSe
quently free from all possible taint of Abo
litionism. lie had voted for Breckinridge
for f 'resident in ISW and for this undesign
ed compliment to a disguised traitor the
leaders of that wing of the party were in
stinctively grateful. lie had said somewhere
that •f Northern fanatics and Southern fire
eaters should he hung together - and " that
South Carolina and Masstiehuset ts arc both
guilty alike of the troubles of the Country,"
and that is about all .the political cittechism
that any Democrat is ever expected to learn.
True he had accept° 1 office under the " tyrant
Lincoln" but then acceptingi.iffice under any
body wasn't a very flagrant sin in the eyes
of the Democracy. Certainly his aggregate
political transgressions c ould h e overlooked
considering his rerlller Service. , : and even his
limier qualities might receive some commen
dation now that pteitiell wit such its
corder hits rt powerful alit or 11 dallgerteH
('lmirrithil

This admiration of thii t President for his
per,unal good qualities soon ripened into a
qualified support of hi, administration. A
Intinlp•r of State Clonvention- of the Democ
racy Openly resolved to , upport Mr. John

tile and it is now quit' time that those who
run the machine for the Democracy should
change their place ofoperations. Mr. John

Democratic politicians and is but little intiu

should g.overn Linn. Military Court, are
hi-t itutod for the trial of those who are prop

and ev•cution follows a conviction of the
guilty it. Tite if all their howling, about
th , infringements of the rights of citizens.
Military arrests are still made and military
(wenpation and government of those dis
tricts where the spirit of rebellion is not yet
extinguished, is still resorted to wherever
the Executive eems it indispensible. The
utmost persuasion and strongest arguments
of the Democracy have failed to convince
ND. Johnswt that it is his duty to allow
criminals to escape justice or rebels to inau
gurate a new rebellion merely because the
process of the civil law is, under some circum
stances, inimtib;ient to punish or prevent
crime. In their expectation of preferment
our friends of the other side are equally un
fortunate. Cabinets are not changed at their
mere s tt .;ge,tion nor even when their demands
become importunate. Abolitionists are still
the counsellors of the. President while model
statesmen of the Democratic school are un
comfortably out of employment. Seward,
Stanton, Harlan and theregt occupy the pla
ces resigned them by Mr. Lincoln whilst
Bigler,. Black, Cushing and Pendleton are in
the üb,curity they have so richly merited.—
The minor offices M the gift of the Govern
ment are bestowed with jut as little discrim
ination. PoStmasters, 'Collector's, District
Attorneys and all other Governniont officials
are selected from the, Abolition ranks with
just as little reference to ,the Democracy us
though it didn't exlstciVen nominally. So
the entire strategy of the Democratic poli
ticians has been as bifrren 'of any - good

Jay Cooke, the Subscription Agent.
3/Ir. Jay Cooke, an enterprising and suC4i.
eesSful Philadelphia banker, has always been,
one of themiest; effictent,liegotiaLorkef pub;:
lie securitlgs. Four 'years ego;:Wheri Penn ,
sylvaniattite stocks were down te,Bs, he
worked , and brought them up to pUr;"and at
that rate.liii , ebtained'.7oree
for the State raising and equipping her troops.
When the Secretary' of the Treasury gave
various bankers throughout the county com
missions to negotiate his first loans, Mr.
Cooke 55115 always among the most success
ful. Ito infused a portion of riis own great
energy into his soh-agents, and seemed to
bit Und6BAtarid he* to present the claims
of - the-Government to the peophi. - 12711en'
the 5,20 loan was authorized, it was befor4i
the public many months without attracting
any attention, and the total sales by .the
Government were only about. eighteen mil
lions. The war ex eases were so vast that
hanks and bankers were no longer able to
Supply money in sufficient amounts, an the
Secretary of the Treasury was compelled to
adipt some plan for appealing directly to
the people to supply the moans for sustain
ing the government. ' , Popular loans bad
never been tried, and their nature was not
generally Under:dried. Capital is always
sensitive, and capitalists, large and small,
were not only to be that there was a 5.20
loan on the market, but were to be convin
ced that it was the best as well as the most.
patriotic investment. Mr. Cooke's high char
actor and previous successes induced the
Secretary to appoint him General Subscrip
tion Agent. The press end the telegraph
were immediately put ill motion. A large
sum was spent in advertising, the distribu
tion or a great variety cif circulars and
&c., the employment of travelers, and
in establishing sub-agencies throughout the
loyal States. It has always been Mr. Cooke's
policy to have our loans taken at home, anh
lo• has novel- solicited subscriptions abroad,
believing that our own people should have
the advantage of the interest. The result of
Mr. Cooke's efforts for the 5.20 s is well
knoWII. Under his agency, dating about
Feb, Ist, 1803, and closing Jan. 22, 181;4,
the ham was sold up to $514,780,500.
As great success always occasions jealousy,
emu iisluts of favoritism towards Mr. Cooke
I'.• !wide against the 'Treasury Depart
ment, which a special report to Congress
proved I. 1. without the slightest funds-
About this time the National Banking
System was established, and it was a part of
the 1.12111 that the National Banks should be
the tinaneial agents of the Governor nt.
While publicly expressingthe warmest grat
itude to Mr. Cooke for his past great and
ticc.-2 , 11til efforts, the Secretary of the Treas
ury determined to try the experiment of
sellingthe 10.43 loan through t eir agency.
In f.air months but eighty millions were sold.
On July 25th, 18114, the First Series of
tea,. ttiforo , l through the same channel, imt,
op to Fob. Ist, 18t1. - 2, a period of six months,
the -ale, am! payments to soldiers amounted
1. , only about one hundred and twenty mil
lion,. This rate of subscription not being
to meet the public wants, it was
determined to return to the agency of Mr.
under whose management the sales

Iwo million, a day. Durintr the first tl'ity

the sash of Nlareh, when the sale of the Sec
ond Series of t;iree hundred millions was be
gun rrhi. S er i es sold on the 13th of
May. deducting Sundays and holidays, in
the wonderfully short tiptlCO of thirty-six
working days—making an average of eight

the Third Series then coinnu need, but, ow-

to say nothing of his earlier undertakings,
or the large amounts of bonds taken by his
firm nL the lettings to the highest bidder.—
Although other causes than imperfect agen
cies retarded the subscriptions in the sum
mer and autumn of 18(34, it caimot budenied
that their subsequent success was chiefly from
21r. Cooke's energetic direction. His of brts
have certainly been as unceasing and his wis
dom, skill and energy have certainly , been
taxed as much as those of any commander

which we have not yet seen noticed by any
of our cotemporaries, is that the men who
are most clamorous to be re-invested with all
the blessings of citize4ip, are those who
were most boisterous for tlib precipitation of
the rebellioa. For instance, in South Card

people are now impatiently demanding a re

Coal, and. the Coal Fields . of Schuyl
' kill county.
- • ICoNetuDEo.I
- - JraEmowr,-July 20th 1865.
In 1810, coal was found in the vicinity of
Pottsville, and a number of sanguine
viand's identified themselves .with the dis
co Very. The blacksmiths of .'the neighbor
hood were induced to experiment with it,
and happily with coMplete success. It was
now certain that the coal would or could be
made burn. It was found to contain the
most extraordinary heating power. No lit
tle interest was manifested by the discovery
of coal in Schuylkill county, and Col. Geo.
Shoemaker, who had made openings in his
lands near Pottsville, was persuaded to send
a lot of it to Philadelphia. In 1817, ho Toad
.ed eight-. or. ten .wagons, and sot out at the
head of his teams, full of hope nd confidence.
The preViouS failure with the Lehigh coal
was still fresh in the it emories of many, and
he was received with positive coolness. Tie
assured them; however, that the " stones"
would burn, and began to enlist somepur-
Chasers. Several tons were sold to the Fair
mount Nail Works, a few tons went to Del
aware,county, while the balance was sold out
to blacksmiths and private consumers.—
Those who purchased became very indignant,
because they did not succeed in ignit ng it.
—lnstead of commisseration, their friends
laughed at them for their verdancy in being
made the dupes of a ''Dutch swindle." A ,
storm suddenly gathered, and hegan to rage
with such fury about the Celoners bead,
that he had barely time to make his escape;
and he only evaded the officers of the law,
by making a circuit of some fifteen miles on
his way home. An incident, however, oc
curred which placed the Colonel and his
coal in a favorable position. The propnetor
of the Fairinount Nail Works, with someof
his men, in vain tried, during the whole
morning, to lire up a furnace with some of
the coal. The.: - stirred it, raked it, nuked
it, and plowed upon it tremendously with
blowers. At length the signal for dinner
was given, when disgusted with further ex
periments, they shut fast the furnace door,
and proceeded to their meal. Returning at
the usual time, imagine their surprise at
seeing the furnace door red hot, and the fire
within roaring and seething like a temp st.
Never before had such a fire been seen; and
from that'moment the secret of burning an
thracite coal became known—if /10,1,0i1y fn
be let alone.'
The coal trade of the Schuylkill commenc
ed in 1822, when fifteen hundred tens were
shipped to Philadelphia over the Schuylkill
canal. Ir. 1825, the trade reached 6500 tons,
and the following year nearly 1740. In
1827, the production was again doubb d. Its
future destiny, as a find, at once became ap
parent. The public mind was more than
aroused—it became intensely excited. The
valleys and mountains of the Schuylki'l were
explored, and when it was ascertained that
the county abounded in an almost inexhaus
table supply, the speculative spirit which
burst forth, knew no hounds. Lands, which
scarcely realized the tuxes, became of extra
ordinary value. Towns were laid out, ca
nals and railroads were projected. coal anises
were opened—all was conceived in the spirit
of speculation and completed under the im
pulse of its excitements. Pottsy'lle btaianie
the great centre hive, where all swarmed
like so many hoes. They had only to go
there to be transformed into millionaires.—
WI thin a period of five months, nearly tie
millions of dollars had been invested in coal
lands. Lands, which were purchased in
1827 for five hundred dollars, Were sold in
18.:0 for sixteen thousand dollars. Every
thing proceeded cheerfully until 1830, when
the market became suddenly overstocked.
The increased production had been astonish
ing-o,i 00 tons over the previous year.
The market could not bear it, and a panic
followed. 'Tools were sold at a sac. flue fer
cash, and many of the operatives lea'Vor a
country which anrded safer protection tr. lin
imprisonment tor debt, than the laws of
Pennsylvania then did, But theintrodue
tion of railways, and improvements in min
ing, revived toe trade, and in 1832 the ship
ments were more than 2,0,0J0 tons. In
1861, the production wits 1,036.270 tons ; in
1862, 3,243,034 tons; in 1863, 4,. , 31,847
tons, and in 1861, they reached 4,39, , ,932
tons, exclusive of what was sold in the coun
try, which was 748,744 tons. We now co : e
to speak of mining operations, as we saw it
conducted at the " Good Spring Colliery,"
of Eckert & Co., under tin, supesiniendenee
of Mr. Jonathan Eckert.
There are several kinds of ruining, known
as .• Drift Level'• and "Slope. - A•• drift—
is situated upon the side or a dm base or the
mountain. As it is extended, the sides and
roofare supported by wooden props, placed
about three feet apart, and covered with
slabs 'and sticks of wood, to prevent the
overhanging coal and rock from falling in.
A railway is put down in the mine, over
which the coal is drawn out by mules. The
drift extends a distance of seven hundred
yards, with several gang ways leading to dif
ferent other veins. Along the sides of the
tunnel are "shutes," where the miners work
in what is called a " breast." Two millers
work in a breast, which is usually about ten
feet in length, by five to six in width, and
extends upwards of a distance of forty-live
to fifty yards, to the top of the vein. Pil
lars of coal are left standing as supports.—
The shutes are closed below, and the millers
continue their work in the breast until the
shute is filled, when ears are draw., below,
the shute opened, and the coal run into the
ears. Two men will thus mine about eight
tons a day. The cars, after being pulled,
aro drawn to the ..Breaktr," which is al ways
the 'most conspicuous object at every mine.
The coal is hero broken and screened into
the different sizes required by the consumers.
The coal breaker ix operated by steam. The
cars are taken to the top and dumped, when
the coal passes over the shute to the landing,
where men are stationed with picks to break
the large lumps, which then pass, through
an openirg in the platform, into the hopper
below, where it is broken between revolving
rollers. As it falls from the rollers, it passes
into the screen, which is divided into four
sections, and being in a slightly inclined po
sition, receives the coal at its Ow ated end.
The first section of the screen produces the
smallest size coal, called upon" ; the second
furnishes a size larger, known as "egg"; the
third is knoWfiiis "stove coal" ; the fourth
furnishes " broken coal," while the remain
der, being too large to pass through th , l
screen, passes oUt at the end, and furnishes
what is known as " lump coal." As it falls
froM the screen,' boys use stationed in the
shutes to pick out the slate, and it is surpris
ing to see how they seize the intruders. 'The
Autos will hold several hundred tons, and
the shipments continue daily. Pennsylva
nia has a greater area of coal than all Eng
-land, Scotland, Ireland, WOOS, Franpo and
Belgium united. It is only exceeded 'by the
British Provinces, whose coal is the termi
nus of our own formation. They contain
an 'i r irea of 18,0m0 square miles. while Penn
sylvania has a surface of 14,000, or nearly
one-third of its, : whole area. Some of the
other States exceed it, but they have not the
number of distinct veins or aggregate_thick
nese of coal. It is estimated that we hav_e,
in all4he States of the Union, upwards of
160,000 square miles; but Pennsylvania is
the only State which has all the diferent
varieties,,as red, gray, and white ash-anth
recite, and semi-lattiminous:'bituminotui and

sometimes by the whole board. Frequently
eight or ten of the parents were at the school
house when -I came. noti y the board
about a week before I make the visit when
thershalHook for me at each school. This
gives parOnts an opportunity or being pres
ent, and me an opportunity of speaking to
them a short time. I teach a few classes in
some sehools,-in others, none. From 15 to.
20 minutes are occupied in addressing the
school, and others present. It is not easy to
decide whether long, or short and rrequcnt,
visits are most beneficial to schools, taking
them us we find them, but when teachers'
literary qualifications are good, I think short
and frequent visits, either by Superintendent,
Directors or parents, are must beneficial.-
1614 miles were travelled, and 222 official
letters iv. itten.
District Institutes.—These were held reg
ularly in all the districts except two, one of
which has only one teacher, and the others,
two. I was not able to attend more than
four. The Institutes were generally well
attended by the teachers, and in some dis
tricts regularly attenditd,by the directors and
citizens. Those attended by directors. and
a few composed of energetic teachers, were
carried on succossfujiy, but ix„t,,,districts where

that Institutes do not accomplish the object

to travel to attend I.llillll. In some instanees,
it is not possible for females to attend, on

Parents should make 1111 ettirt to be c ome ac

children, and treat them aecordin •1 v.
Most of the •• Young .011erlettfls have a
y‘o•youts hump of approbativimess, and cite
be more ea i.y reai•lied by kind wo.ds (not
flattery) than by hard ones. .'loot children
are also emulous or ambitious, and to gain
their confidence and affection, you must ob
serve their progress in till that is commen
dable, and show your approbation of the
same. Children need to be encouraged by
their par, nts in the preparat•on of their les
sons at, home, then when they ere called into
the I eeitation room. before visitors, they feel
and have the assurance within themselves
dial the vi-itors will not lie disappointed.—
This success. before parents and strangers,
stimulate the teacher and the pupils to make
mightier efforts. Children, properly trained
and educated, will be influenced thereby in
all their actions in this life, and will reap
the reward of it happy immortality hereaf
ter. Children receive utmost of their mental
training in the school room ; therefore, pa
rents, make it your business to visit the
school often, to see whether they are being
skilfully disciplined; whether they occupy
an honorable position in their classes, and if
not, why Whether they have the neces

ambitious; if not, how, to apply the stimu

of good. As children need a good deal of
care in their training, go to the school room
yourself—go frequently—observe their pro

the education of the sons and daughters who
are to inherit this government and transmit
it to posterity, your spirits taking flight to
the eternal world to reap -what you have
sown. God grunt that you may take a deep
interest in the present and future welfare of
your children - that you may devote the
same amount of timo in visiting the school
that you do in places of idle amusement, and
that you may manifest at least as much in
terest in the moral and physical training of
your offspring, created a little lower then the
angels, and in the image of God, that you
do in the vanities of life; then, when the
brittle thread of your existence is about to
