Mr.. Claws PRospEcTs. We invite
the attention Of our readers to the able
and well written article from the N. Y.
Evening Journal, on subject of the
highest interest at this time to the people
of the United States. The facts there
stated as to the great unanimity Of MIR.
CLAWS friends, on the propriety Of con-
tinung to him consistent and detcrmin-
ed support, have been amply confirmed
to us Fl ON a variety of sources. 1t was
the opinion, we understand, Of the best
informed citizens from every part of the
Union, who had the opportunity Of con-
ferring during the sitting Of the Con-
vention, that course of this character
was demanded Of the National Re2ubli-
can party, no less by regard for the
highest interests Of the country than by
proper attention to its own sell-respect.
We are glad to find, that in a case of
this nature, as in all other instances,
the path Of honor is found to be the path
Of good policy also.

Something new. a Jackson paper has
lately been established in Kingston, un-
der the paternal care and guidance we
learn, Of the Hon. Elisha II. Potter-as-
sisted by his right hand man, Wilkins
Updike, Esq. Gen. Jackson should feel
himself under very great obligations to
the Hon. gentleman for this manifesto
ton of attachment to his cause. The
printer, Mr.. James J. Brenton, is very
clever fellow, but like many other poor
devils of the type, we opine he will have
a "hard row to hoe" if he hangs his
hopes upon the skirts of these famous Po-
litical gamblers.

FueL-The price of all kinds of fuel continues
to be enormously high, though it has been in some
instances exaggerated. We were led into an En-
ror about week since, in stating that the price
Of good Liverpool coal was Sl9 per chaldron. -
Sl7 was asked at some yards, but it is now sell
ling at S16. This is the price asked for small
quantity, which arrived yesterday in the ship
Manchester. And the same price is demanded
from some anthricite. Yesterday morning the
Schuykill was selling at SIS. and yesterday af-
ternoon SIG was exacted. Hickory wood is sell
linz tor 81 a cartman's load, equal to 10 cord
Oak % shllings, or 10 90 a cord. AS to the
coal. the community are, for month or so, at
least, in the power of the companies and dealers
in the article. Those who can afford il have the
staff in their own hands, in great measure; for
they can refuse to pay any preposterous prices.

Should the weather moderate as it is hopedit will,
there will be good supply Of wood. and it will
be unnecessary to pay exhorbitant prices, unless
people please to do so. 1t is cut and piled on
the docks along the North River, in large quant-
ties, waiting for transportation to the city. 1t
will also be brought from Long Island and New
Jersey, saould the coal dealers ask unfair prices.
The folowingi is from the Mercantile Advertiser
of this morning. from which paper we copy the
report of the proceedings in the Board of Alder
men. with which it is cOnuected-
Whea Alderman Dibblee offered resolution
in the board last night on the subject of Coal
to take into consideration the pr0priety of apply
ing to Congress for repeal Of the duty on the
importation thereof, and to cause an enquiry to
be made as to the quantity of all kinds of fuel
now III the city; Alderman Strong said that he
had drawn out a similar resolution; bnt on con-
sulting some of his colleagues he had concluded
not to offer it, as it might have tendency TO pre-
vent supplies arriving. Aid. Strong added, that
in 1919, when the panic on the subject of fuel
was even greater than it is now. MIR. Golden. the
then Mayor, directed the assistance of the Board
of Health, to ascertain the quantity Of all kinds
tor sale, the quantity in possession of Steamboat
Companies, Breweries, &C. and it was found that
the supply was equal to about five months con
sumption.
On this subject also, the PRESIDENT Aid Stevens)
said, that he had directed enquiries to be made as
to the quantity Of Anthracite coal weighed in the
city, and also the probable quantity ON HAND, from
