Au Apology.
Our apology for the lack of editorial in
this week's paper is,—we have as good
right to enjoy the 4th as other people.—
Besides, it is a ' , little rough" setting up,
and scratching down ideas, with a 2.40
headache, and thermometer at 90 in the
shade. Whoever doesn't believe it, had
better "try it on." We'll be all right next
week.
Foreign News.
Several steamer; have arrived from Eu
rope since our last issue, but the news by
them is unimportant. Affairs about Sevas•
topol remain almost unchanged. French
accounts indicate slight advantages for the
allies, but whether they be correct or not,
we are unable to say. A very severe bat
tle had taken place, recently, in which the
French lost some 00 men. The Czar
has refused negotiating any further with
the Western Powers.
The 4th of July.
Wake up, ye everlasting Yankees, and
fotch out the spirit of '76. Crow, crow,
ye immortal Shanghais, and make the wel
kin ring agatn with your glad notes of
Yankee doodle do. Shout with triumphant
voice, the praises of •the day we celebrate.'
So long as we inherit a single drop of
'The blood that flowed at Lexington
And crimsoned Lake Champlain,"
let us with united voice, sing anthems of
glory to the •'patriots of the revolution."
_Be palsied the arm of the craven who does
not join with us in celebrating this day of
days. Yell, jump around, break things;
if you can't do no better, do as the little
boy dtd in Vermont, take a b 4 chew of to•
bucco. Let every thought that is turned
into words, and goes up through your free
and "independent throats" be
.'lly country, my country forever,
Hum for the red, white and blue."
Let the 9th of July be kept a holy day ;
as the great Sabbath of the year. Lay a•
side all manner of work. Let every A
merican heart beat in unison, and may the
voices of all American patriots unite 'llB
one man," hi praise to the Great God who
has 'Veen us a name among ost;ons."
Columbia, the gem of the Ocean,
The home of the brave and the free,
The land of midi pattiot's devotion,
The world offers homage to thee.
• Thy mandates make beroesassenable,
When liberty's formstands in view,
And thy Minn., make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the Red, White and Blue.
The wine cups, the eine cups, bring hither,
And fill then, up to the britn,
May r.e wreath she has won never wither,
Nsr , Ite stars of her glory be dim
May the surface united not serer,
But hold to her garlands so true—
Our Army and Navy forever,
Three cheers for the Red, White rind Blue.
With her garlands of victory o'er her,
As so proudly she bore her brave crew,
And her flag proudly wavingbefore her.

THE BROAD TOP RAILROAD.
PLIII.ADELPHIA, June Bth, MI
L. P. Wabon, Esq., President H. et B. T. RB.
Dear Sir:—At your request 1 give you my
opinion of the general character of the Broad
Top Coal region, its facilities for mining, and
the quantity of its coal. . . .
Being a small, compact group of basins, in
the midst of a very large manutacturing region
(the country of middle Pennsylvania drained
by the Juniata, with innumerable iron lama.
cos, forges, steam saw and grist wills, and
large towns, and traversed by the main trunk
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, opening to a
trade of a million of tons made upon it, will
task all the energy and capital put to work
within its limits.
The Broad Top Coal is nearly altogether
free front sulphur, and resembles most nearly
in its different varieties, the George's Creek
and other beat varieties of the Cumberland
Coal, Maryland, the regions being in the same
line, and the beds being identical and similar
ly situated. It in neither a gas coal nor an
anthracite, but the finest steam coal in the
world.
Philadelphia, therefore, must also become
a great market fir it, and I think the Oman
steamers will run on Broad Top nod Cumber
land coal. Without referring to the caper
ence of the Welsh and English factories and
steamers, and the experiments on thin aide the
water, the report of the late trial ttip of the
Ericsson, with its new steam engines, give
this Cumb3rland and Broad Top variety of
coal a preference over the Anthracite they
uthd (variety nut stated) in the rates of 94 to
74.
There are eight or ten beds in the series re
maining in the Broad Top basins, three being
large beds, averaging six and seven feet, the
rest rouging between one foot and four or
five.
The lowest large bed on which fine openings
Lave been made tor some years past, at the
Biddlesburg and Old Hopewell banks, the Ev•
ans and Hamilton bank, the Crawford and the
Barnett banks, yields on an average nix feet of
coal, but swells sometimes to ten and twelve;
has a regular top and an irregular bottom; sel•
dom dila more deeply than ten degrees either
way ; keeps above water level chiefly in the
wattt basin, and meet content in all two thou
sand millions of tone. It is the - second bed
above the millstone grist or conglomerate, No.
Xll,and rides over it up and down in the five
or six narrow parallel through which together
from the Broad Top Coal basin; exposing its
outcrop to attack at water level each time on
each side of each of the three transverse val
leys or ravines which trench the mountain to
its base. The coal of this bed is usually very
good. The Barnett opening has yielded cope.
rior coal, equal to any sernibitutui,tous coal in
the country. Tits Crawford opening in this
bed on the Railroad Company's lands, as well
as the Barnett opening, is admirably situated
for mining this bed northward in the two west•
ernmost troughs.
The second large bed is the seventh or eighth
in the series, ascending, and takes the place of
the former at water level at the headwaters,
and in the deepest and middle iroughs. An
upper conglornorate, rolling over it and all the
coals below it, in a great wave, forms the high
vault•shaped central axis of the Broad Top
Plateru, and has protected this coal bed from
denudation to such an extent that it must con
tain at least twelve hundred millions of tons.
Where this "top rock" ends to the northward,
underneath its broken down outcrop along
Slioup's run, the coal bed has been attacked in
several gangways, new and old. Here in the
well known old Cook corning, and a new oneopposite,
opposite, showing the bed - finely, averaging
eight feet, and yielding excellent coal, with a
dip not exceeding 2 or 3 deg. and a very ex•
teusive breastage.
A third bed, of large size, overlies the top
rock, with a much smaller area and quantum
of coal.

gerous a game this will prove to the parties
who undertake to play it. They will doubtless

Know Nothing Council recently held in Phila.

The delegates are to be from each State, equal
in number to its representation in both bran.

by the State Councils, two being from the State
at large, and one from each congressional dis.
trlet.
A NECATIVA CONTROVERMALIST.--TllO To
ronto Vatriot, devotes a column and a half to
the refutation and ridicule of the alleged no
gumption by the reople of the United States,
that Lieutenant-General Seorr "is the greatest
General living." The question is one. says the
New York Courier, that does not call for ergo.
meat, the intelligent reader has already made
up his mind with reference to it; he has not
failed to compare the campaign in the valley
of Mexico with that before Sevastopol; and we
have only to inquire, if General Scorr is not
"the greatest General living," will the .li7l riot
be good enough to tell us who is?
EX-GOVERNOR W. F. JOHNBTON.—Tbe New
York Tribune says :
We have received from Gov. Johnston of
Pennsylvania mote warmly denying that at
the Know Nothing Council he voted fur the
Pro• Slavery Plattorm there adopted. He says:
. ,
'I did not vote for said Platform and do riot
'intend to do no hereafter. I opposed it in con
vention, spoke against its adoption in the Con.
volition, protested against it, and ref used all
cooperation with any National 'Organization
that recognized or adopted it. I also now

ONr. or THE HURRICANES.—We often hear of
events so startling that our wonder temains ex
cited for in long period. Among other bless
logs that abound in the West, they frequently
have quite "a respectable hurricane." The
Cape May County (Mo.) Gazelle reports the
whims of their latest visitor of thatkind. Hear
it :—Grent numbers of birds, rabbits, Ice., were
found torn to pieces in its course, and we
are informed that the poultry of Mr. Young,
whibh were not killed, were stripped as naked
I as iphey had been scalded and picked for the
frying pan." This statement would make is
readable addenda to tho Arabian Nights.
THE I,MIOEST BROOK THOUT:-TllO Buffalo
I?.press says'the following is a true story : A
friend who has recently made a trip over the
New York and Erie Railroad informs us of les,
ing seen at sow of the stations somewhere in
the mountainous region of the southern tier, a
brook trout, caught its a mountain stream, that
weighed six pounds and live ounces! The lad
who caught it sold it for sevonty•five cents—iind
it was sold to a third party for two dollars,—
and whets our friend saw the same, and admi•
red its beautiful and liberal proportions, he of•
fered ten dollars fur the speckled whale of the
hills of southern New York. But it was no go.
The remarkable specimen of the finny tribe had
found an admirer whose affection had resolved
to pursue it to the fork's cud."
HMS to DANCER.—The Nowburyporl, Herald'
soya :—"We learn that Mr. Joseph Hiss, lute
representative of Boston, came near suffering
serious injury if not death, atthe Ocean House,
on Wednesday night. Mr. H. was in town,
preparatory to lecturing upon the doings of the
Legislature, stopping at the Ocean House, and
retired at night with a spirit lamp burning,
with the wick well up. In the scorning the
room was all of smoke, and Mr. hiss himself
the color of a coalman. He was awakened
with extreme difficulty, but not until the condi.
Lion of the room had even caused the blood to

a desperado with a rifle, the ball striking withiu
a few inches of him. The following is the
guess of the journal as to the cause of this act.
Since his discharge from the Miles jury, he has
been acting as bailiff in the Court room, and
has been more recently employed as inside
watchman at the jail, His vigilance has been
a source of great annoyance to the prisoners,
allowing them to hold conversation with no one
except in his presence, and adopting other pre.
cautions that would effectually prevent the ar

A mail recently arrived at Sr. LOIIiA, from
.Fort Laramie and Fort Kearney. The tool.
ing of the Sioux Indiana is said to be decidedly
hostile to the United States. A letter from
Fort Laramie, dated May 9th, says:
The Snake Indians were not concerned in
the recent robberies at the Platte Bridge. It
is known that the Mineeajoux Sill'ux are guilty
of all the Into robberies. This week they stele
four of Major Johnson's escort mules, not far
from the fort, on the Salt Lake side. Some
squaws have brought in a report that two war
parties, one hundred strong each, areiroming
down on Laramie to steal. All the traders
agree that the government ought to whip the
Sioux—in fact, that it is absolutely screws
Indian murderers of Capt Gunnison
and his party, were sentenced to six years ins•

Another letter of the 18th says :
The Indians are stealing horses and mules
at the Platte Bridge and the Devil's Gate.—
Jelin Reichard Las lost eighty head, and Ac.
ehambault all he had. From all that I can see
and hear. 1 apprehend that there will be no war
with the Sioux. It is astonishing that the Go.

committed repeatedly, and vot take no steps to
protect the people. We, who are in the midst
of these occurrences, and know the Indians,
have good cause at complaint, that the Govern.

them.
A letter from Platen Bridge, doted April
27th, sup "Only eight days ago, Sioux Indi•
sue came here and stole seventr.five head of
horses. They have robbed traders who have
lived with them for years. They look for war
with the whites, and say they art: ready for it."
From Fort Kearney, in a letter of the 27th

Iron Prospects.
Au arrival last week front Europe, brought
1 the gratifying intelligence of a material rise in
I the price of irou, and we were led to hope that
• the turning point had now been reached: bat
in the news brought by the St. Louis this week,

mortifying fact that England thus controls our
iron market, as well as the other products of
our industry. We hope to see the time when
America will become sufficiently Americanized
to stand Liu her own 13,ttom, ab,olved from the
controlling influence of British monopolies.

A Minister Prezohing Mob Law,
A. few years ago the political papers rang
with denunciations. of the pulpit fur interfering
with 4roat questions or morals in teaching the
sin of oppression. Wo suspect that the same
class of pipets will hardly think it worth while
to reprove the Rev. ill. Shannon who has lately
distinguished himself by preaching the new
gospel of mob law to a public meeting in Boone
county, Missouri. This Mr. Shannon, is free•
ident of the State University; and has charge
of the moral and intellectual culture of the
young chivalry of that region. No wonder
that the fathers prefer to send their children
north to be trained when such instructors are
the only ones provided at the south. Mr. Shan
