WARRINGTON, March IL. 2
Mr., Pickering, late Senator from the State OF
Massachusetts, has commenced series of let.
tiers addressed to the people of the u. the OBJ
ject of which, as far as we can judge from the
three first numbers, appears to be to destroy the
character of Jefferson and Madison, particular
ly the former. 1t is humiliating to witness the
spectacle of Senator of the u. S degrading
himself to the level of political gladiator, exhi-
biting his prowess for the qualification of viii
ated public taste Tor vitiated must be the taste
which relishes such productions. 1t is the more
TO be regretted when, in the ervor of his zeal 10
sing sight of discretion, he betrays the irritable
feelings ola disappointed man by the use of the
most Incorporate language. AS for the rest,
we apprehend no effect will flow from Mr.. P's
productions, greater than has been produced by
similar effusions of James Elliot nay, not as
CREATOR, Mr.. Elliot having once been consider
ed member of the Republican family, his pro-
auctions from that circumstance received more
attention than will probably be bestowed on
those of one, whose rooted enmity to Republi-
cansm and its supporters has never been Ques.
toned
Jdnes Eiliof, whose career a member of
Congress may not be forgotten, and who like
MI. Pickering, attempted to write down the adj
mnistration, but whose courage failed him be-
fore he had well commenced the task, has late
iy edited weekly federal paper in Worcester
IN Massachusetts,, but has relinquished it after
few months experiment. His success as an
editor, and the value of h. federal patronage,
may be estimated by the following extract from
fare well address. published in the Kgis, well
conducted Republican paper printed in the same
Gown:
:" Anxious to close the career Of injury to
which am doomed in this county, I shall lose
no time in retiring from it. As It respects ma
ny of the leading federalists," it were better
for man of honorable feelings and elevated
mind, to dwell amid the solitudes of the Alps,
or even amid those of Lapland. There one would
meet men in the garb of brutes, but not 6rgtes
an the garb Of gentlemen There one might meet
men of rude minds and ruder manners, but not
men suho oaile cent more than their country, and
adore a dollar more thun the Deity"
There are almost daily proofs of the continu-
ed outrsges OF the British commanders of ships
by impressment ana hsldHg in bondage the ma
tive and regular citizens of the u. s. From a
recent and indisputahle source, we are informed
by letter from one of our seamen, dated from

The coal bank, which we spoke of in our
last, on further examination, seems to promise a
discovery Of consider able Importance to this
country. 1t is about seven miles from ST. Lou
IS, on the east side of the Mississippi, and in
the bluff which bounds the American Bottom.
The vein discovered by the washing Of a
spring branch il runs into a hill in horizontal
direction, INCREASING in size as it is followed-
The stratum at present appears to be about 6
feet in thickness, OF good coal the rest slaty
aDd rotten. The appearance is much like the
coal bank at Pittsburg, and the quality is not in
6rior. There is every reason TO conclude, that
the whole bluff from the Illinois 10 the Ksskas-
Ria abounds with this mineral About three
miles below the bank which has been opened
and is now working, there is also the appear
ance OF coal 1t was discovered by the firing of
the woods, when hre was communicated to it
by the root Of tree. The bank Continued 10 burn
for a twelve month, and at length was smother
ed by the falling in of the soil. From the rich.
ness of those veins there is a great probability
that coal may be met with in extensive bodies
1t seems as if nature had resolved that no.
thing should be wanting to render the Ameri.
can Bottom one of the most beautiful spots on
earth. 1t has been an objection to this Rne tract
of land that although it's soil was as rich az il
was possible for it to be, yet the want of timber
would prevent much of It from being settl ed ;
the discovery Of coal will in part obViate this
deficiency
To 81. Louis it will be matter Of great impor.
lance The price of wood is high, being brought
foug or five miles from town. To steam mill.
or any steam engines, and to manufactures, for
all of which, this country is admirably situated
such discovery is Of great moment. Ms an ar
tjcle of trade, also, il will in time become an
object worthy of consideration. 1t seems TO be
-the lowest point on the Mississippi, where coal
d found.
