| REPORT UPON CoAL.-Pro!e5sor Johnson, who
was appointed, under resolution OF Congress, 10
examine and report upon the character and value OF
the Goals OF this country, has made hisreport. Ii s
very Interesting document. Forty five varieties OF
coal ware subjected TO examination and experiment.
| He establishes, by the most conclusive experiments,
| that the sample of coal furnished by Atkinson &
| Iempeman from their Cumberland tald.) mines,
il the best FOR purposes of steam navigation, having
greater evaporatve power, under given bulk Than
any otter. The following are the remarks OF Pro-
ftssor Johnson on this points
"For the purposes oil steam navlgation the rank
most important TO be considered is the fifth in which
| the Goals stand in the order Of their evdporative
\ power under given bulks.
"rhis is obviously true, since, if other things be
equal, the length of voyage must depend upon the
| amount Of evaporative power afforded by the fuel
| which can be slowed in the bunkers of steamer,
always OF limited capacity. At the head Of the fifth
! rank stands Atkinson & Templemans Cumberland
| coal on the right of which is 1862, the number of
pounds Of steam produced by one cubic foot of the
| coal"
| In considering the value OF equal ;reights of the
several Goals, ii is hardly necessary 10 mention that
different order OF samples and different relative
| values will be found. Bait. Pat.

lOOsa (Ala.) State journal, speaking of the ex-

"A statute similar to that OF South Carolina, Of
which Massachusetts complains, is now Of force in
Alabama; aad il may soon become our iurn to meet
like effort tamper with the slave interest. With
| all their philanthropy The ci;izens OF Massachu-
sets, generally, very chary OF their dollers-snd
perhaps ii would be we'll for legislature 20 enact
| Law al its present session imposing heavy pen

hart; labor in the State Penitenary until the pen
atty be met on sny agent, attorney, or other person
