BLossBURo, Pa.; October, 1866.
Leaving the New. York and Erie Rail
road
at Corning, after ii -twelve hours'
ride from New York, we take the e Tiogra
Railroad for -Bleesburge which is the
center or starting point of the coal mines.
The scenery of Tioga County is not un
like the hilly roughness of other por
tions,efePennsylvania'; but at this sea
'.eon of the Year, it'is especially pleasing
W and attractive. The snail-like laziness
of the cars on the Tioga Railroad gives
:one an opportunity to enjoy the cool air
which courses through 'the' valley, the
cloudy crests of the hill, the fading
freshness of the foliage,' and the gray
blue - beauty of the Autumn sky. There
is nothing to me more beautiful than
the changing verdure
_el, these .woody
ineSeptember. From, the .bright
green )of the young pine to the somber
grayness of the elm whose leaves are
already fading from its 'scraggy limbs,.
- we have all the tints of green, y_ello - ev::
and red which An artist can employ.—
The bright - saffron of the poplar leaves,
which even in death shake as with the
ague, the 'varied shades of the maple
which is now just in the hight of its
beauty, with all the hues from the palest
pink to the, deepest scarlet; and there
are. sumacs whose leaves are a bright
magenta, beside evergreens whose leaves
resemble huge distaffs wound with erne-,
raid woof. .
In the , limileS from Corning to Bless
butt., there islittle.variety in the scene
ry. The range of hills is almost unbro
ken in.the whole distance, and the nu
in.erOns _little ,villages in, the -country
peem to lie like eggs in a ,bird's nest,
with no..inlet or. outlet except from
above: -
- The running time on - the - road is said
tobefifteen miles an hour, but it often'
takes three hours and a half to run the
distance.' The pas-eager and, freight
business is' limited—thera never being

;strata from one to free feet thick. In
Maryland, veins - have been foynd,of the
thickness of eight feet. The Maryland
seal-is e-ood-, a little harder than the

less heat. There are six veins of strata,
tvhirlr are here called the Bitumineus,
group, fine of which are of sufficient
, thicknees to pay for mining. The fourth
stratum is the one , now being worked

The smoke of the powder used -in
blasting the coal from the slate -at the
roof, with that of the lamps and pipes
of the - miners, - and the breaths of the
miners, driyers and_ mules, combine to
make. the, air in a mine
,except where
ventilation is - tossible, nauseous the
extreme: - •" " •
In:ventilating a mine, an air passage
off, the gangway .is cut: ordinarily ten
yards in length, running at right angles
with the gangway, to the end of which
passage - a shaft' throtigh the mountain
is stmk,'and a chimney built. A - fire is
then „made, and kept burning,,: to in
crease the draft. ,The air passage is then
continued
.parallel' with the gangway,
and communication between the two is
kept up by air passages every ten rods;
doors being hung in the- previous pas
sage as,another is completed,. The tem
perature of the alines I should ,judge to
be between 40° and 50° Farenheit.
The coal is taken from the mines in
trains of several of the little cars I have
alluded ,to, each train being ; drawn by
ones ninle, driven by a boy of perhaps
10 or 12 years,,who is "as black 'as the
coal he hauls. % The cars run on rails
which do-not present more than half an.
inch. surface, .and the friction being
alight, the mules can draw a very heavy
load with" apparent eaae." The boys, rag
ged and begrimed beyond description,
are the jolliest , and most reckless to be
found, anywhere. .Lying flat on their
faces on a load of coal, they, drive their
mules upon a run in and '
out: oi l the
drifts, - and seem to 'care little whether
the cars are empty 6r full, or if the track
is clear. ,It is surprising what a mutual
Understanding they and the - mules hav'e
arrived at. It is almost intuitive, and
the love they bear each other, and either
neglects his work, for both seem , sadly
cared for. Yet both•are as happy as it
is possible for them to be.
The mules ordinarily{ haul the coal to
the shoots; where the'ears are uncoupled
and dumped. At one of the Fall Brook
mines, however, I noticed that on an_
inclined plane the loaded, cars going
down hauled the empty ones' up by
means of ropes and pulleys.

to offset the effex uv whisky, :with, v.

and Jefferson entered. "Earl von
Toombs," "Sir Joseph E. Johnston,"
"Markis de Eouregard" and so forth.
Noticin that the titles I bed heard
wuz mostly tacked to Southern men, I
asked Giddy Welles, who wuz standin

Northerners wuzn't reely fit for it. We.

,They wuz given to tourna

He, for instance, hed charge uv the

and Tharlow Weed wuz Keeper uv the
King's revenue., and wuz a doin very

By this time the Company assembled.
His Highness wuz in a merry mood and
unbended himself. Ther wuz a knot uv

after a earnest interview uv a, minnet,
Count Von Cowan advanced to the foot
