dred ferocious animals of a coleoptric form, which
bite and tsar each other with continued fury. It
is easy to comprehend the potato disease when
such an intestino warfare is raging.

Among the rich cool fields of Southern Illinois
is a coal bed of some 23,000 acres, not far from
Chester, on the Mississippi River, and about sixty
miles below St. Louis. Over 18,000 acres of this
bed explorations have been made to Buch an ex?
tent as will show that tho greater part, if not the
whole of it, is underlaid with three strata of coal,
the upper one of which is thirty-six feet beneath
the surfacp ?md six feet thick, but with a good
limestone ro. % the next beneath it, seventy-seven
feet doep, and four and a half feet thick, and the
lowermost one hundred and nineteen feet deep aud
six feet thick. The coal found in this bed is of
remarkable excellence.
The Mormon leaders are inclined to exaggerate
their numbers, and set down the population of
Salt Lake City at 25,800; but the Gentiles, pointing
to the census of 1860, which gave but 40,295 in all
Utah, say there cannot be over 75,000 now in the
entire Territory. A gentleman who has investi?
gated the matter somewhat fully this season, be?
lieves the true population is about 100,000 f ouls
for the Territory, abd 15,00$ or 16,000 for tho city.
Yet, because an ordinary sized houso, wide** at the

We learn from the Newport Hoosier Slate that
?ha well at Lodi, Fountain County, was bored, last
week, some thirty-three and a half feet deeper, of
?which twenty-five feet was through gray sand?
stone, with a thin strata of hmestoue. The la3t
.ight feet and six inches was white compact crvB
talline limestone, or marble, hard enough to mark
glass. Thowell before was discharging from two
thousand to three thousand barrels of white sul?
phur water. This deepening increased the flow
wonderfully, and it is estimated that tho water dis?
charged would amount to from two hundred thou?
sand to two hundred and fifty thousand gallons
per day, thus more than doubling the discharge
of the famous "Granette" well at the Hotel des
Invalides in Paris. Tho temperature of the well
has increased ono degree Fahrenheit for every
fifty-five feofc pasead in going down. Tho present
temperature of artesian water is seventy degrees

TUESDAY MOANING, FEBBUABY 5, 18*7.
SOUTHERN RELIEF.
Some days ago a number ol' benevolent gontle
mon in the city of New York, appalled and dis?
tressed at the great destitution of a great part of
the South, resolved to deviso means for aa allevia?
tion of this distress. A meeting was called, and
took place at tho Cooper Institute on Friday night,
ihe 25th ult. Thoro were many persons present;
and among them we noto tho dluminaii ot Gotham
in ?very walk of lifo. Mr. PETER COOPEE, the
Chairman, stated thc object of tho meeting in a
few appropriate remarks. He was followed by a
Mr. BRIGHT, ::a Southern gentleman," who enter?
ed into some particulars in regard to tho scarcity
of breadstuffs in certain parts of the South. Roso
lutious wore next submitted and adopted, urging
tho appointment of a Southorn Belief Commission.
Rev. HENEY WARD BEECHES then addressed the
audience, and with that happy faculty, so charac?
teristic of tho man, ho at one? plunged in medias
res, and before Ms admirers h;d well had time to
recover from the enthusiastic greeting they gave
him on his appearance, he had tkem all in the
middle of the Fugitive Slave Lr.w. Tho reverend
gentleman makes religion his trade, why not
charity ? He must have a quid pro quo for all that
passes through his hands. He is willing to accord
relief to the suffering aud starving ex-rebels,-bat
he does it under a protest. Ho gives them a
lecture along with tho loaf. With a delicacy of
taste, which we cannot but admire, and a most
Christian unostentatiousnoas, be takes this occa?
sion to remind tlieso samo starving Southerners,
that they once had the uppor band, but now it was
otherwise. "Now, we, tho Yankees, are the top
rail, and you, Southern aristocrats, must como to
us and beg for tho crumbs that fall from our ta?
blea." These are not Mr. BEJ -at's words, but
this is certaiidy tho sum and substance of bis re?
marks, if wo understand the meaning of words,
and aro to draw the inferences they ua'urally bear.
He spoke of tho groat changes effected within the
past few years; "changes," bc says, "effected by
reason, by thc deep moral instrumoutality that
touched the very vitals of life." Now, we do not
believo a word of this. Wo do not bebovo reason
bad anything to do with it, but passion and pre?
judice a great deal, assisted not a Utile by envy,
mabco, hatred, and all uncharitableness. He next
told the audience that ono of tho changes produced
by this bato political convulsion, is the fact now
everywhere acknowledged, that one man is as good
as another. Mr. BEECHER hardly ?tatod thia pro?
position with sufficient empbat?s. Todo full jus?
tice to bis party, bo should have said, that if the
"one man" was a black man, and tho "other" a
Southern white man, then one mau is oven better
than another.
He thon proceeded to speak of tbe sin of slavery.
Mr. BEECHER bas HO long descanted on this bis
special bobby, that be cannot readily adapt him?
self to the changed condition of the times, and
still eontiuuea to prate about the sin of Blavory.
But Mr. BEECHER means well; At least we hops so.
Ho says : "We want tl.e moral and social element
of reconstruction. The nation is never going to j
be reconstructed by an edict. Sympathy, couti- j
dence, affection, tho interplay of interests, mutual j
respect, at last reopening ofter a long, long inter?
mission, into intermutual life." This is all true;
but we do not see bow it is to bo accomplish ed.
Certainly not by making speeches like this of Mr.
BEECHER'S. PerbapB, be is disposed only to regard
the colored populaci?n of the South, tb? "loyal?
ists," as entitled to sympathy; and thinks the pre?
sent generation of Southern whites are not sus?
ceptible of social and poUtisal regeneration. If
this ia bis belief, we caa understand bim. Thus,
I for instance, be says :
Massachusetts wa? a plucky old State-[ap?
plause]-and though tho very bael, beao of Puri?
tanism was supposed to run through that State,
and though ber soldiers perished at Belle Isle and
in other prisons, she bad built tchools near those
very points where five hundred or one thousand
boys, the children of those vho carried the knife
ana pistol, wore educated, and in thia way sba bod
revenged herself ou thou- children.
Wbose cbildron are these, now se tenderly ?aught
and taken care of by Massachusetts school-marms?
They are tbe freedmen, the nation's young words.
Why mention them in this connection ? No one
doubted the fact of their recoiving full caro and
attention at tho bands of tho negrophilists.
Tho Reverend gentleman then wound up with
some coarse humor, which tickled his audience.
HOSACB GREELEY followed, and administorod i
a well-merited rebuke to tho Rev. HENEY WARD.
He said
That be did not doom it advisable to bring in
the subject of pobtics in o question which was
simply one of human suffering, lest it might bo
supposed a self-righteousness and bitterness wore
blended in with what ought to be a mere kind?
ness. [Take that, Mr. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.]
There was a quarter of a milbon of widows in the
South who were not accustomed to earn a bvo
lihood, and there was a quarter of o nrlbon"
more of maimed soldiers who could not work,
and who bad families depondinsr on then: ex?
ertions. These were now in destitution and re?
quired all the assistance that could be given
them. Our soldiers bad pensions which mitigated
the sufferings ef their families;, we had great chari?
table funds during the war; but these wer J more
scanty in the Sonth, and they bad nothing to re?
present our pensions. Then the war passed over
the homes of the South. It made a great differ?
ence whether war trampled down your fields er
the fields of those a thousand miles away. All the
movements of armies and their requirements,
camp fires, &c, greatly destroyed and kept away
tho material of a country. In this case there was
unusual desolation in the South. All tho factories
and foundries were contributing to the support of
these people, and these wero burned as a means of
weakening tho South. Cotton, too, was burned,
and when not burned was stolon-[laughWrl-in
some woy or other. Besides, the South stood oui
so long against bone that nearly every fo"t of the
country was trodden by hostile annies except
Texas. The possibibty of largely producing food
was destroyed in tho South after tho war was over,
and mil?ons ef dollars were lest hist year because
the seed they planted was so old it would not
grow. Had they bod fresh seed alone, much ef
the destitution of the boutb would have been
avoided.
He said a good deal moro, all true, and all in
Sood spirit; and was listened to witb the most in?
tense interest. That touching allusion to cotton
iteoling carno home and seemed to take particular?
ly well. Who will a-ain say our Northern brethren
sanuot bear to bear the truth ?
Rev. Dr. KENDRICK also made some remarks
mitable to tho occasion. We are sorry to find that
ie 'Joes not yet consider himself siUficiontly strong
n tbe confidence of bis Northern friends, and
leemed it necessary to toll them that be "differs
'rom bis many warm friends m the South on many'
joints." His many friends in Charleston will be
lurprisod to learn this. HORACE made n groat
nisfcake when be said that they who go beyond
he soas change their skies but not their minda.
Cven "coastwise navigation" can produce a
k-onderful chango of opinion. Wo bavo had ro?
tated instances of this within the last few years.

ANOTHER MURDER I*| TENNESSEE."
This caption wc find to a paragraph in a recent
inmber of tho New York Evening Post. Wo have
lotbing to say about the truth of the report;
mowing nothing about it beyond what we bave'
ead in tbe said paragraph. We have no doubt
here are murders in Tonnessee as there aro in
?titer States, and especially so in East Tennessee,
rbere wa learn tbe lives of ox-Confedcrate soldiers
re bold very che.ip; justice hoing there- odminis
ered by juries and judges so very loyal thal the
hooting of rebele is considered a vsry venial of
once iudeed.
Still, we hold it unfair for a respectable paper
'ke the Post to minister io the bad passions of
ta radical readers by manufacturing such bead
sgs for their paragraphs. Aro tho len commund
Qonts bettor observed in Now York? Are thev
tevcr violated in Massachusetts, or iu Obi?, or in
Jalifornia? If s0, why is such fact not sinii ?arl v
nnouncedaathis? "Another Murder in Massac?
husetts," or "another Robbery in New York,"
nd "another Divorce in Chicago!" Why not?
?ur confreres cf tho Post are such good Christians
