COAL rORMATIOHS 01 THB WORLD. Tho proportions of tlio superficial coal Areas of llio principal con) producing countries of Europo and Amcricn, may b? stated thus: United Stales, 133,132 squares miles; BritishAmerica, 18,000squaremiles; Great Britain and Ireland, 11,SOD square miles; Spain, 3,-108 square miles; France, 1,719 ^ square miles; IMgiuui, 517 square miles.: Thus it will bo seen, that the United] Stales has a superficial coal area more than J throe times as great as all the countries of Europe. And it should be romembcied, too, that tlio coal basins of tlio United Slnlnn uvn .. .....1 1 1 Ml V |?i?l fciiiljjr VJAJJIUIVJU uuu uu fined. In regard lo production, liowover, the contrast is altogether in favor of Kurope, | thus: Great 11 ritain and Ireland produce 31,500,000 tons; lk-lgmm, -1,000,000; l'rauce, 4,141,017; Prussia, 3,500,000; Austria, 7,00; while the United Stales, with a coal area more than there three times the extent of all Europe, actually produces but 4,400,000 tons. Pennsylvania lias a coal area of 437 squares miles, and yet in a single year, that of 1847, she produced 3*000,000 tons? furnishing cargoes for 11,430 vessels, which cleared from the?itiglc port of Philadelphia that year. In 1825 a few tons of an unknown com bustible were brought to Philadelphia, where its qualities were to l?o tested and ita value ascertained, in 1828 tho first cargoes readied Philadelphia ami Baltimore. Since then, the Pennsylvania, coal fields have produced an aggregate of 19,000,000 tons of coal. Pennsylvania, as above slated, hn.> a coal area of -13'7 miles, which in a single year (1817,) produced 3,000,000 tons of coal, affording cargoes for 11,430 vessels. Our seaport friends, should remember this. North Carolina, probably, will be fuiind to possess a much larger coal area. From the northeastern extrememity of the Deep Ilivc*r Pasin to the Pee l>ee is not less than sixty miles in length, and if it should be j found to average ten miles in width, we ! have a coal area of 000 square miles, or ! nearly one-fifth larger than Pennsylvania. I It should be remobercd. too. (bat the lVtiti- I sylvania. coal is anthracite, but medium value, while the North Carolina coal is bituminous, and ranks as a gas coal, equal to the finest, and will command the highest price in all the markets of the Atlantic coast. Mr. McLanc, in his pamphlet referred to 011 a former occasion, says that at Egypt, one ton per minute can be delivered, 1,000 feet from the coal pit, at 00 conts per ton. That the capacity of the Deep Hives Slack Water Navigation is limited to llie delivery at Wilmington or SmithviJlc of but 7*20 tons per week. Then, according to this authority, a single shaft working ten hours per day, can deliver upon the surface weekly, 3,000 tons, or about five times as much ' as can be passed down the Cape Fear river, j But when a dozen shafts are delivering their! 8,GOO tons per week, it wil be seen the ' Cape Fear can aflbrd no adequate outlet fnr IrlM.~ iv! - t / i ikivk |/ivuuv/kidii9? 11*11'II US OI Uie j Cheraw and Coal Fields Railroad need haveno misgivings as to the supply. We really are at a loss to say what the capacity of the Road would be, but think 000 tons might be transported over it per day. If j 60, then, Charleston would receive 107,200 tons of the finest coal in the world annually. I "With such a prospect to induce the construction of the Cheraw and Coal Fields Road, can any one iuterested in the welfare of our beloved Queen City hesitate to invest to the extent of his ability? The recent survey of the line has shown that it is but G7 miles from Cheraw (o Egypt, and that the line of road would, from that point, traverse the coal basin some twenty miles in this direction. If the capacity of the road be equal to the above j nuu suouiu cost $l,'Ji)0,000, its j incotnc from coal alone would be $068,000 per annum, or equal to one-halt' its cost. I We know tliat we are not making state ments with mathematical precision, but we j do know that we approximate the truth, J and that our statements, if erroneous, as 1 probably they are, may be set aright by thoso having more j recise data before them. And we beg that every friend of the Road, who can elucidate its value, do bo at onco. Many, wo know, are in possession of facts which would vastly subserve tho cause, if they were given to the public. We hope, therefore, to hear soon from many who have heretofore remaiued silent.? Ckcrato Gazette. What Unclc Sam has Done.?Tho following contrast is felicitously noted by tho Brooklyn Eagle: Uncle Sam, after carrying on business for the past eighty years, having- three wars, buying territory from France and Mexico, building railroads, speckling in a bank, and trading with all creatiott^'?coine& out with-a snug little balance on hand twenty-two millions, enough to sot op several uiillionaries, and which makes Sam a roillonnre among nations. Since our revolution England has quadrupled her national debt, and -otheii nations of Europe have *uir up a score neirly in proportion, while jpfttm:, pa'id off his debts, bou^htrenl : Wfate, and has money laid by for a rainy al?oya put it uff tiU the iw5 day." rOUEJOIt COMMKKCK OF T1IE BOUTlt. Tho indispoiisjiblcttws of ii foreign eotninerco from llio slave holding Stale*, far ui<no extensive than tint which now exist*, W self-ovidcut to every man why has considered for a moment, the interests aiul resources of the South ; and it cauuot be too ofteu or too strenuously urged upon tho Southern people, mtixaus, professional men, merchants, farmer.*, and, indeed, all who have any interests in ibis section, so blessed by natural advantages of every description, whether they pertain to climate, surface^ soil, agriculture, commerce, or mauufacturcs. Tho North is making millions by foreign commerce, a very large proportion of the freight and tavel being supplied by the South ; whereas the people of the Southern States, instead of advancing their owu in. 'p j tcrests by a direct trade with Europe, are i thus contribing to the treasury of the I enemy. It is true we have sailing ships | traversing almost every sea, but there is no established line of steamers to any of the most important ports of the world. And as long as this is ?>, il is impossible that the reourees of the South can be fully developed or appreciated. Our products cmbrace a vast virility af luxuries as well as uoccssries; we have waters unsurpassed, if not unrivalled. Our manufacturing facilities are truly great. And it is actually an anomaly in the laws of commerce, that we have not an extensive foreign commerce.? The people arc aware thai this is indeed ; and they should, as we believe they will, encourage the enterprising spirit which is now actually at work for the establishment of one or more lines of the larges* steamers between this country and Europe. The action of the Convention at ]}ristol gives ; evidence of a determination on the part of the practical, intelligent and patrotic gentlemen who were engaged in its deliberations, to push forward, as fast as possible, the scheme for direct trade. Portland appears to be the only competitor of Norfolk for the terminus of the route on which the (ireat Eastern is sunn a...i ^I.V-T J:\iju j every cftbrt consilient with fairness will, of course, be made by the people of that section, to indii'jc those interested in the success of this inaininoth steamer, to give precedence to that port. It will be an important trade, and the South should look to it with anxiety. Wherever the "(ireat Eastern" goes, there will tho attention of the projectors of other other European lines of steamers be attracted. Norfolk holds out inducements to a direct trade not presented by any other city in the lTniou. With a harbor, capacious, sale from storms, deep, and within a vorv short distance of the sea, it is unexceptionable in point of local adaption to the purposes of an entrepot for Southern commerce. And occupying a position which is designed hy n attire as the point of convergence for the trade of an immense empire, extending through thousands of miles of the richest country, there is nothing needed but the finishing tench to the leading lines of internal im1 provement in Virginia to prepare Norfolk | for a successful competition with any city in the Union for a foreign trade. It is I O I to be hoped Mr. Preston's mission will be I as successful, as his own ability and the j merits of his cause would encourage us to expect. I Let the owners of the " Great Eastern" and all others interested in her voyages, : be convinced of the tremendous trade in j I the South only awaiting an outlet, and we cannot think they will prefer Portland to Norfolk.?Richmond Enquirer. The Manners of Young America.?A correspondent of the Tribune, who was | j present at the sumptuous dinn.-.r -? I --- - ? "b St. Louis lo the railroad excursion party, thus comments upon the manners of cerXew York sprigs at the table: " At the dinner?which was not a railroad dinner at all, but an ample provisiou for four or five hundred more than partook of all the delicacies of the season?ono thing was observed, which it would be unfair to mention were it an isolated case, but which illustrates a frequently observed characteristic of young New York, not greatly to its credit. One or two parties of youths, who arc * in society,' began their dinner by emptingall the strawberry dishes witl.in reach into their own saucers, and putting all tlio bottles of wine they could lay hands upon, after filling their own tumblers, under the table to keep for future use. During the residue of the dinner they Conducted themselves on a similar principle?the principle that obtains among animals who are not 'in society.' It is at Fifth avenue midnight supper table that SUell mnnno.? ~ ? ' ' ...wuiivio am luarncci i" These are the fast and fashionable young follows who, at social parlies, rush in like fools " where angels fear to trendwho monopolize the best wines and the best viands at supper; tread on everybody's toes in the crowd, with thenonchalent air of the jaetews dancing among the chickens; and who think it the height of good breeding to get as " tight as bricks" whenever they can get hold of the O. P. (Other Peoples) brand of wine. They smoke in, omnibuses, stare inodest -women out of countenance, and make themselves disgusting generally. But so long as they can boast of rich "Gov* ernors" to pay their bills, " society'' tolerates, tailo#8, trust, sod fools flatter them.? \New York Mirror^ > Facta aro to the mind^be same thing as food toO>e ^ 1M0. \Yu ihink there i? reason enough fori hope to induce every lover of liberty and tln> Union, North ami South, to enlist cheerfully in the campaign which \>ill coui* ineuce early, to l>e closed by a decisive victory on one bido or the oilier in 1800. Southern men of all parties ait) as true to llio institution of slavery as was ever kuiglit to his huly, or mother to her child. And we trust that the dauber of divisiou iu our ranks needs no farther exemplification to induce the South, at the next 1'residential election, to eeutre all her strength upon h single candidate. To the Democracy of the North, wo look, a? Napoleon looked for Grouchy at Waterloo; not so vainly, however, wo hope. They were almost overpowered in the last onset, lint here and there, in Pennsylvania and New Jerse}*, in Illinois and Indiana, they won the day. And backed by an almost ; unanimous South, a signal victory was achieved, and the Uniou saved for four years more. And it is to those same j bravo bands of indomitable Democrats, j who were driven before the enemy like j leaves before the hurricane, throughout the North, except in those States to which we have alluded; it is to that broken host of heroes and patriots, we say, we look an anxious eye in anticipation of the next contest for the mastery of the Government, lieaten, but not dismayed in November, the)- liavo rallied again, and are already winning victories over ' enemy, who bo recently routed them. The I >emocracy of those Staie*, which wero overrun l?y abolition in November, claiming to be, as thev arc, an honored portion of tlie great national party now in power, were solaced in their own local defeat, of last fall, by the victory for which they, as well as wo, so earnestly fought.? And, in remembrance of both, they arc encouraged to rally again with renovated ! vigor. | There arc favorable indications of a partial, if not a radical revolution in the North within the next four years, and victory then will secure the South forever.?Richmond I Unquirer. A Touching Incident.?The saddest story that we ever read was that of a little child ! ? C?S 1 ' * * * hi owiizcnnnu, a pot uov, just .as yours is, reader, whom his mother one bright morning rigged out in a beautiful jacket all shining with gilt and buttons, and gay as a mother'* love could make it, and then permitted him to go out to play, lie had scarcely stepped from the door of the " Swiss Cottage," when an enormous eagle scoopcd him from the earth and bore him to his nest high up among the mountains and yet within sight of the house of which he had been the joy. There he was killed and devoured, the eyrio being at a point which was literally inaccessible to man, so that no relief could be afforded. In tearing the child to pieces, the eagle so placed his gay jacket in the nest that it became a fixture there, and whenever the wind blew it would lluttcr, and the sun would shine upon its lovely trimmings and ornaments. For years it was visible from the lowlands, lone: after the ca"le had abandoned the nncl .vl.nl n U 1 1 > I I.V.IK , II una u oi^ilt lb U1UOL 1JIHU DCCIl IU II1C parents of tlio victim. A Novel Mode of Reaching Assets.?Tho ITrb.una Citizen tells the following story, which we must believe, and yet it is vory hard of deglutition : A man went into a field to work and hung his coat on the fence. A pet sheep in his flock abstracted his wallet from his pocket, broke the leather string and cat up fourteen dollars in bank notes and two promissoiy notes. On returng to his coat and finding his wallet on the ground and its valuables gone, the Squire immediately suspected the pet sheep as the thief, arrested and dispatchod him, (though a great favorite of tho family) and in his paunch actually found the bauk bills in a tolcrablo stato of preservation. The bills were all of I a small denomition, tho largest being a three, and yet strange to say, but two of the ones were so badly injured as to be unfit for uso. This, we believe, is tho first in-, stance we ever heard of a sheep stealing money, and it forfeited its life for its tem| erity. Fashion and Dcsease.?The Paris cor. respondent of the Boston Traveler says :? " The doctors have declared that the present extraordinary invasion of colds, grippes and peritonital inflammation, (which proves unusually fatal,) are entirely owing to the bell petticoats, which expose the whole female person, from the waist down to the feet, to the weather." Was there ever any fashion which was not denounced as tho cause of disease? Medical men And it much easier to explain the origin of the disease in that way, than to discover the real sources of derangament to health. Burninq the Dead.?The Paris Academy ?r 1 a . ,1 ui lucuwiuu iiMBci me papers to writing and the people to thinking earnestly return to tho practice of burning .the clead.* They say that in the summer time tho Parisian hospitals are crowded with the victims of pestilence engendered by thd foul air.of the grave yards in the neighborhood, llio vicinity of the cemeteries ia a constant sourco of mortality. Their putrid emanations filling the aij and-the poison they emit impregnating the water, are held chargeable for the many new and*frightful disease of thelong* which bafflo all medical ekill. ' ' ?!

If litis practice bo continued ' ouce or twice daily, with regularity, paring ' the surface of the wart occasionally, when 1 it gets hard and dry, the wart may bo soon ' effectually cured. To Take Grease out of Carpets.?Scrape i and |>ound together in equal proportions^ j magnesia in tho lump, and fullers' earth ; having mixed theBe substances, pour on them a suftieiont quantity of boiling water to make into a pasto; lay this paste as | hot as possible upon the grease spots in the | carpet and lot it dry. Next day, when the ; composition is quite dry, brush it oil', and the grease spots will have disappeared. To Preserve Eygs.?Put into a tub or pan one bushel of quick lime, two pounds | ami a half of salt, and a pound of cream of tarter. Mix the same together with as much water as will reduce tho composition to that consistence as to causo an egg to swim with its top just above the liquid. ! Then put and keep the eggs therein, which will preserve them perfectly sound at least two years. To Remove (ft case from the Collar of a I Coat.?Obtain a little spirits of ammonia, I mix it in a pint of cold water ; then well [ sponge tho collar or other parts until tho i grease disappears, which it will quickly do. j Or, dip a 6oft flannel in spirits of turpentine, and rub the greasy part with it. To Remove Moles from the Skin.? Lemmon juicc rubbed on the moles will often greatly diminish, if not ontiroly efface them. Orchard.?Xothing is more detrimenlal to a young orchard than to sow in small ! grain of any kind, particularly oats. The > best crop to be grown in an orchard is po- j tatoes; u>, for a rotrtion, corn, buckwheat or vines. When the orchard is eight or ten years old, sow ciover, and mulch around the trees. Tho mass of our fruit trees lean northeast. Wncn the trees are small and set, guard against this by setting stakes and I fastening the trees, leaning them to the southwest; a rope of oak straw is good to tie them with.?Prairie Farmer. Looking G'uilty.?Nothing can be more absurd than the idea that 44 looking guilty" proves guilt. An honest man charged with crime is much more likely to blush at the accusation than the real offender, who is generally prepared for tho event, and has his face " ready made" for the occasion.? Tho very thought of being suspected of anything criminal will bring tho blood to an innocent man's cheek in nine cases out of ten. The most "guilty looking" person we ever saw was a man arrested for etoalitig a horse, which turned out to bo his own property.?Boston Post. It is a glorious sight to soo two old people, who have weathered tho storms and basked in the sunshine of life together, go hand in hand lovingly and thoughtfully together down the gentle declivity of time, with no anger, nor jealousy, nor hatred, garnered up against each other, and looking with hope and joy to the everlasting youth of hearen, where they two shall bo one forever. That is a true luarriago, for it is a marriago of spirit with spirit. Their love is woven into a woof of gold, that neither time, nor death, nor eternity can sever. There is just as much intemperance in drinking physic as drinking anything else. It is a great pity there is no Maino Liquor Law for medicine 1 The first time a quack ioeis your pulse may bo an accident, but tho second time should be a repulso. No man ruins his health without bringing the consequences down upon himself Like Samson, ho destroys the temple, and buries himself in tho ruins. v The grand error of life is, wo look too far ; wo scale the heavens?wo dig down to tho centre of the earth for systems?and wo forget ourselves. Truth lies before us; it is in the highway path, and the ploughman treads on it with clouted shoes. Tho heart is a cup which is empty till it overflows.
