"And God avid let th'e'eariti hring turtb grant,
the herb yielding teed; and the fruit tree yielding
fruit after bit kind."
'Like gulliver, the hero in Swift's
Wondrous tale, who lost himself in a
gigantic corn fleld,.where the corn grew
up tall as the trees of the forest—so we
have wandered down the vale of years,
until finally, far away in the mighty
ptospect, where the mist of the unmea
sured centuries hangs dark and heayy,
we stand on the level savann.ts of the
carboniferous world,—lost in a forestl' of
gigantic ferns and palms. In every
reeking marsh, grow the rank Calamite
and the somber Sigillaria ; 'Lott there' is
no flower to enliven the funereal depths
Of those silent glades, or song of I,irdi to
break the mighty, solitude. , -No quad
ruped•eontes forth, `by day •or night,ito
seek its prey, fur, the atmosphere- is
charged with deadly carbon. Oily
cloud's of insects darken the Or, like
swarms of mosquitoes in - some bosky
dell, at the close of a summer day. All
is silent in those green and Ink - t-hint
woods, and we wen) to see, "in the
multitude of trunks darkeoed atioVe by
:clouds.of foliage, the slim columns of
an elder Alhambra,"
But those graceful columns—the Sig-
Blade and the Leptdodendron—whose
green branehes untetled the earth in
that age long gone by, liaveheen extinct
for untold 'center les4 : -We may enter
the gloomy galleries - which the miner )
.has dug in the rock-ribbed mountains,
ant i se e their eltarred and carbonized
trunks, lying. nil' they fell ; or feel that
we are treading over the imprisoned
sunbeams iviiieli warmed the' into
life; but, like the tumuli of the Mound-
Builders, which dot the prairies of the
Far West, no spirit comes forth •to tell 1
,
us of their history.- We only know that
they grew on - a lesiel continent, having
a very warm and moist climate, and but
little 'elevated-above (hb sea. The Le
pidodendron was a very large tree, some
what resembling the modern tree-ferns
of the tropics, and the common ground
pines of our own section. But while
the tree-fern - earth's a height of Only
four or live feet, and the ground-pine as
many inches, the Lepidodentiron raised
its hirsute branelies nearly a hundred
feet over the soil, and along with conif
erous trees allied to the pines of Nor-
folk Island, are supposed to have cover
ed the drier
,plains. The Calainite re
sembled the common horse-tall (Equi
setum Fluviatile) of our swamps; but
unlike this humble plant, it attained to
a height of thirty feet. The ;Valeria
—an associate of the Calaroite in the
marshes—often reached a height of sev
enty feet; and such was their abund
ance, that there are large seams of mil
which are composed principally of their
remains. Beneath these palm-like trees,
there was a dense undergrowth of ferns,
whose . fronds - are now spread out be
tween the layers of shale in the most
perfect state of preservation. ' Over 300
species have been found in the Coal
Measures, while there are no more than
sixty indigenous species found in the
whole of Europe at the preSent day.
It is now believed by all geologists of
any note, that coal is of vegetable
because it consists of vegetable tis- '
ori
gin,sues, while the accompanying shake
contain numerous roots, leaves, and.
trunks of trees, The peculiar conditions
under which it wasreduced, were
doubtless similar to th se existing in '
.)
the peat bogs of our owt times, only on
a much grander scale. In those anClent
and widely extended Marshes. just as
la the Great Dismal Swamp of Virgin
ia at the present day, vegetation flour
ished and decayed until a deposit of car
bonaceous matter, sufficient to form a
coal bed, had accumulated, when the
.land subsided beneath the waters, and
strata - of Sand and - clay were thrown
down. This process was continued thro'
a long period of time, until all the veins
of coal had been produced. The coal
beds mark the eras when the surface
'remained stationary ; while the sand
stones point to Limes of subsidence.—
Bituntinous and Anthracite coal were
both formed in the same manner, sand
belong to the same age, only the latter
has been subjected to a greater amount
of heat and pressure. Allowing for re
duction in bulk by compression, decom
position, and the lose of carbon, it
would require eight feet in - depth of
vegetable matter to-make one foot of bi
tuminous coal, and twelve feet to make
one of anthracite. - For, a bed of anthra
cite thirty feet thick,like that at Wilkes
barre, the vegetable debris must have
been over 300 feet thick ; and for a bed
gLbituminous coal six feet thick, like
at at Morris Run, it must have been
nearlylifty feet in thickness. ft is sup
posed that all the forests of the United
- f , dtates at the present day, 'would not
make a bed of coal equal in extent to
the great Pittsburg seam.
Coal may be justly considered as one
of the mainsprings of modern civiliza
tion and progress. Wherever this min-
eral exists, there you will flud the ele- '
month of wealth and power. England,
the mast powerful nation of Europe, c k e,-
copies only a, small group of islands ;
yet the 100,000,000 tons of coal which '
she annually produces, has epabred her
to extend,her -power over the entire
globe; an it is bier - boast that the sun
never sets on her possessions. Together
with iron, it likewise forms the Kraft
and Stoll of our attainments. Dining
the past year, the anthracite and bitu
minous mines of Pennsylvania pro-,
duced more than 25,000,000 tons of coal„
5,000,0000 of which were devoted to the
development of motive . power,.which
was equal to' the labor of 28,000,000 of
men. The amount of anthracite' coal
yet .in Pennsylvania, is 13,171,828,500
tons, which will give us an annual sup
ply of 20,000,000 tons for 000 years, But
vast as is.this undeveloped treasure, it
is quits Insignificant when compared to
the bituminous coal deposits in the wes
tern half of our State, These deposits
are so stdpendotte, i
that could their val
ue be realized at once, t would
national debt nearly sixtypay our
times. Such
facts indicate to, the observing mind
where the seat of empire will be in fu
ture ages. They 'compel us to believe
that Providence has designed this to be
a country where mind Mardi make Migh.
ty strides on 'the - 'high --road to perfec
tion ; that here a republic shall be es
tablished, which shall bs)a terror to ty
rants, and the, glory of which shall hest
