NORTH CAROLINA COAL FIELDS.
Tin Cheraw Gw -Its i? Ubvrinx rtriitwlly to induce
Charlevtou to engage liucrally in the construction
of a railroad from that oily so as to connect
with the co.il firMa of North Carolina, and nukes
estimates showing th it aha would he a gainer in five
yaurs, by tne savin# in fuel entering into the consumption
of Iter citizens, of ul) nliiuant suHi.-irnt to
build and stock such a r<?ud. Our purpoac is not to
go mto :b? calculation* of the Gazette, but rather
to present ill brief the capacity of the voul iniaes to
supply contiguous, and perhaps remote, Southern
poiuti, with this indispensable article of domestic
economy.
Mr. VVm. Me Lute, formerly of Pennsylvania, in
relcrciiea to the supply of bituminous cool on Deep
iliver, in a report to the company, says:
"1 co -nneticed boring about si* months ago, on
your estate culled Kgypt, nud nt 361 leet I have
penetrated u live foot veiu of bitoroiuoti* coal, and
tupertor to any in Iheat Hrilatn; and I am corroborate
by Professor Kuiiiium in the opinion,
that about 40 feel beloiv this vein lie* (mother fully
ten feet thick. These veins would give to the acre
129,400 toils, or to the square mile 18,816,'HK) toils.
Already 43 square miles of coal haain has been
traced out, winch would yield 809,088,000 tons."
In this connection we will add. that the above only
embraces the basin inn portion of Chatham and
.Moore counties. And thatfrotn examinations mode
by scientific men, the out-crops have becu found
well developed in the southeastern section of Montgonierv,
mid the northeastern section of Richmond
counties, indicating a cowl basin, or rather a cootinu
alion of the Deep River basin, to nn extent nearly
its great as that of the hitter. Iictwecn the develop
ments in Chatham and Moore, mid Montgomery <
an I Kioliniond count as. a sand diilt passes down
from Uaiidolph to the Cape Fcitr. 'J lie depth ul
this a in J bed has not been ascertained. It may be, n

.... iviok, ?> inn com u are cuniimuia !
under tin* mind, at a distance not too erml to be j
worked to advantage. We think ?o have shown f
that the supply in ample for alini-st nil time to come.
The OoM <>f milling and transportation are the next
considerations, and on this |>oitit we shall call to
our aid the same important report. On page 5, o
Mr. McLaine stiys: i;
"The cost of tinning n ton of coa! can he con tracicd
for, deliverable into b<>ais (a distance of
l,tKH) feet,) at sixty i ?nts per ton." A'td to rtns i
freight* from the coal pits to Charleston, say 800 r
mdes, a ii cents per ton, and we have the coal in
Charleston at $-1 CO per ton, leaving to come up to
our estimates a margin of $t .49 profits to dealers, '
or in oilier words, coal can be delivered to the con- "
sumrr at #4 fiO I
The on sh ih nn* in operation nt Kgypt can de- v
liver ft ton of eoal per in nute upon the surface.
There i* already one near Carthage, soma fifteen c
miles nearer to Charleston, lieing sunk, and as the
prospect increases of an outlet bv the railroad, otli- ^
ers will be Mink along tin- line, >icldmg an tiitlim ted

Ilia, A iigusta. Savannah, the West liul a Islands, all
the (liilf steamers, mid perba|m for sonic of the
Nortliei li cities. "
I'nuuMLniu Klkctiom ?The Democrats ol '
Ph.ladelpli a succeeded quite recently in carrying J
their ticket for city officers. At the chacof the elec- t
