COPPER MINING ON THE ScHUYLkHL.-We stated a
few days ago that company of English gentlemen were
the Schuylki opposite Valley Forge We learn that ii
is company of American gentlemen, who are mining
only the copper ore of that vicinity. The location, is
new undertaking was Col Edward F. Gay OF West Phil
adelphia Mr.. R. p Remington, of Philadelphia, is the
present efficient Of the mines and large
ratve miners are principally English The ores are ship
ped Schuylk canal &C., to Baltimore, to be smelted
The mine in the full tide of successful experiment is
new one about 500 yards of this village, the
Perkiomen creek, mile above its junction with the
Schuylki river, and is known the Perkiomen Mining
Association. This institution, unlike most others now
a-days organized for similar Objects TO have been
established for mining, not speculative purposes merely
Real capital practical experience, business TACT and per-
have been brought into requison, and the ju
dcious and systematic application of such elements enti
ties them to success.-PhH. Ledger.

REPEAL THE TARIFF or 1S46.-We perceive that pc

calling upon the coming session OF Congress to repeal the
tariff of 1916 The Pottsville Miners Journal announces
that It wlpreaoe and print petitions for IFS immediate
vicinity and argues length upon the propriey of set

1t is very certain from all these movements, that our
opponents have their fears about the course which

WIRE AND HEMP RoPE-THEIR COMPARATIVE STRENGTH
An experiment was recently tried in England, at the
Woowich dockyard to ascertain the comparative strength
of wire and hemp ropes. A wire rope, three inches
round, and hemp rope OF three strands, hawser laid
common make inches round were spliced togeh-
err and placed in the setting machine, and the hydrau
ic power being applied the hemp rope broke in the mid
die on the strain reaching ia tons-the wire rope
naming apparently strong when the experiment
commenced A wire rope, 81 inches round, then
splced with eght-nch hemp shroud rope, and the
power being applied again the hemp rope broke in the
middle, with strain of 10 is TONS the wire rope
tinung apparently unnjured This is considered very
satisfactory experiment

From Bermuda and the WestIndies

The British Mail steamer Forth, at
New York on Sunday, from Bermuda
and the West India Islands, brings ad.
vices from Jamaica TO the 22d Of Octo.
Der, and from Bermuda to the 9th in
slant.
1t is said that many acts Of oppression
have been inflicted on British and other
foreign merchants. The house of the
American consul had been entered and
searched without any apparent cause.
The passengers from Porto Rico gave
a dreadful account of the state of the
Island. A revolt of the slaves was ex-
pected every moment. A general mas
sacre Of the whites was expected to be
one result Of the insnrreclion. The
Spaniards fear that the slaves will re-
ceive aid from Hayti, as the Haytians
have threatened 10 make decent upon
Porto Rico.
A BATTLE IN VENEzUELA.-The New
Orleans papers, Of the 9Th inst, have
advices two days later from jamaica,
to,the 24lh ut.
We copy the news below, from the
Picayune:
News had arrived in Kingston that
a bloody battle had been fought at Gas.
sicoro (Venezuela) on the 2lst Of Sep
tember, between Gen. Paez's forces,
under Col. Andrade, and those OF Pres
ident Monagas, in which Monagas's
forces wefe defeated, with great loss
in killed and prisoners. On the 25th,
the squadron Of Gen. Paez, consisting of
twelve sail and steamer, was off Mar
acaibo. Gen. Paez seems to meet with
success in all his battles. The city of
Maracaibo had not been attacked in
consequence of threat from Monagas
that he would put the inhabitants, men,
women and children, 10 the sword, if
any assault was made. He will be
starved into surrender as the troops
were pinched for provisions.

The folIies of mankind might incline a
cool observer to laugh, but their con-
sequences are too serious forlevity.-
The well known fact that our petty
borcughs Of one hundred and twenty

sin in the management Of their funds,
for paving and other internal improve.

remarkable. Wodld to Heaven, that
Illinois and Ohio, and every other
State, could see in their true light, the
gross folly and rank injustice Of accu-
mulating immense public debts, and
thereby loading psster!y with burdens
not its own! Nothing but stern, mex
orable necessity can justify or even

The Right Spirit.

The following, which we clip from
the Pennsylvania, is not only in the
right spirit, but is the right kind oftalk.
The principles Of The democracy OF
this union are firm seated, and though
once 10 a while they are apparently
beaten down, yet the moment differ
ent policy is proposed, the party in
power begin to scatter into fragments.
The principles OF the democracy are
the principles ofequol rights, equal laws,
and equal justice, and he who would
attempt to mould the opinions Of the
masses, and give public opinion a new
direction, and bring them in opposition
to these principles, which have made
this, in truth, the model republic OF the
earth, will he fool for his pains. 20.
Statesman.
"The democratic party will survive
this defeat as surely as that federalism
and its associates will eventually be
crushed by the very weight of their vic
tory. 1t is emphatically the party of
the country. All its measures are bold.
ly set forth, and fearlessly advocated.
Sometimes its reforms alarm the timid,
and give material 10 the demagogue 10
work out its temporary overthrow.
Time, however, vindicates its policy,
and proves its essential importance TO
the substantial welfare Of the people. II
it cannot originate good for the people
during the mex, four years, it will al
least prevent much evil. Unsubdued
by defeat, and calm in the midst of the
roar Of federal rejoicing, it awaits the
return of that inevitable hour when the
dark days Of the republic, days Of trib.
ulotion in store for US as the result Of the
late election, will again demand its en-
ergies to save the people from the evils
Of wicked legislation, and the designs
Of wicked men. We would rather fall
with this noble patty, than rise with
any other, carried into power by an un-
thinking hurrah. We would rather be
one of the defeated, than bear the re-
Election that our voice or pen had con.
lributed to the success of a monstrous
deception. Let the democracy keep
up their organization! A few months
more, and their energies may be need
ed to save the country from the excess
es of the very men who will reach the
high places Of the government only by
frauds upon the truth. Let US keep the
old flag freely flying, and be ready at a
moment TO march under its tattered,
but sacred folds, to the redemption Of
our beloved union"

probably received the vote OF Is states,
