New ENGLAND CoAL.-The Blackstone Coal
Company are prosecuting their mining enterprise
at Valley Falls, X. |. They raise about 60 tons

drawing the coal out of the mine at the rate of
fifty or sixty tons day, by means Of an inclined

much greater distance. The principal vein now
being worked is Is feet in diameter, at average

The TROPHIES OF Waffle PItlsburg volun-
teeis (Duquesne Greys) brought home with them
young Mexican girl. She had distinguished her
sell, says the Ptlsburg Journal, by her unceasng
devotion TO The wants of the sick and wounded
among men; and had she been left behind, she
ed by her counymen, for her humanity to our
people. 1t was thought advisable To bring her on
home with them. They all appear very much at
tached to her; she is treated with the utmost re-
spect, and we doubt not home will be provided
tor her by her brave friends. She is about IL
years OF age.
Another of the Pennsylvania companies, Capt.
Nagle's) brought with them three Mexican boys,
between the ages OF 10 and IL years. The young
sters attached themselves to, and We're taken
charge of, by the corps in the neghborhood of the
city of Mexico, and wherever the company
marched the boys followed, and finally became so
attached to their new friends, that it was found
impossible TO get rid of them without a resort to
harsh means, which no one was inclined to use.
The little fellows are said to be active and quite
intelligent.

Mr.. Clay Nominated. ..-TaylOr
thrown overheard.

In another column will be found a short
sketch Of the proceedings Of an immense
Clay Wing meeting in New York city
This meeting was called to give an ex-
preston of opinion in relation to Mr..
Clay's nomination by the wing State con-
vention, which was to meet on the 18th
inst. Since the proceedings of that meet
ing were received, we have learned that
Mr.. Clay, in connection with Fillmore,
has been formally nominated by the State
convention above alluded to. A resolu-
ton to appoint committee to inform him
of his nomination was voted down almost
UNANIMOUSLY, amidst unbounded enthusi-
asm, the wings declaring with one voice
that they were determined to vote for him,
in any event. A Clay electoral ticket
was accordingly formed.
Thus has the effort to seize upon savail-
ability" thrown the wing party into most
deplorable state of anarchy and confusion.
The movement will take in other States
like wildfire, and the old Clay wings all
over the Union will ignite at the first men
ton Of a name that was sacrificed for an
imaginary enthusiasm which has turned
out ashes to the touch of the whig party
worse than the baseless fabric Of a
dream. In letter written in view of this
movement, John M. Bolts declares that
Iaylor's prospects are worse than hope
less, and the whig who cannot see it is
blind to the circumstances which surround
him. We now look with confidence to see
the vote Of New York cast for Cass and
Butler.
Whether an electoral ticket will be
formed in this State for Clay, we know not.
Certain it is that he has many warm friends
here, who are determined not to vote
for Taylor, and who think that the only
way to prevent the absorption of the wing
party here and elsewhere, into the aboli-
ton or Free Soil party, is to unite upon
Clay, and that at once.
Thus has Gen. Taylor,by trucking to the
enemies of his country in war in which
he had gloriously distinguished himself,
dug with his own hands a sshos pitable
grave" for his well earned reputation
Who will say now that old lack was I'M
wise in refusing to resign his post in the
army for such a prospect?

THE DEMocRAT1c TELEGRApH.-This
is the name of a new wing paper just
started at Dubuque by small faction of
the wing party opposed to the Tribune.
1t is edited by w. w. CoR1EIL, floats the
names Of Taylor and Fillmore from the
masthead, and talks very rabid of things
whereof the editor is not willully ignorant,
but dishonesty partial. He is decidedly
behind the intelligence of the age, who
starts new Taylor paper at this late day.
As it is, our friends at Dubuque will see
regular set fight between this Tom-cat
and Madam Puss of the Tribune. The
former promise to do large portion of his
mewing in high dutch, for the greater
amusement of the audience. Go it, We
cripples. "

Webster upon Free Soil.

As the Hawkeye has published gar
bled and very unfair account of Webster's
Marshfield speech, we shall next week
publish some extracts defining his true
position, which is far different from what
tits represented by the wing press of this
State. If, after reading these extracts,
any wing can swallow it as Taylor
speech, and say, as said the Hawkeye, that
"Mr. Webster comes out naantully in sup
port of Gen. Taylor then we give it up,
that's all.
Below we give short extract, giving
Mr.. Webster's position upon the Free
Soil movement of the wings, in very
different light from what the wing press
of Iowa represent him as occupying. The
truth is, Mr.. Webster has sufficient sa-
gacity to see that passing events indicate
the absorption of the remanents of the late
wing party into the Free Soil party. He
says:
81 have read, gentlemen, the Buffalo
platform, and although there are some rot
ten parts about it, can stand on it pretty
well. 1t is not wholly new nor original.
What there is valuable about it is not new,
and what is not new is not valuable. If.
my friends, the term ':Free Soip' party.
or Gree Soil'' men, is meant to designate
one who has been fixed, unalterable, to
day, yesterday, and for some time past
IN opposition to slavery extention, then |
may claim to be, and may hold myself as
good ''Free Soil' man as any member
of that Buffalo Convention. / pray to
know where is there soil freer than that
on which have stood? I pray to know
what words they can use, or can dictate
to me, freer than those which have dwelt
on my lips? l pray to know, with what
feelings they can inspire my breast, more
resolute and fixed in resistance to slavery
extension or ercroachment, than have in
habited my bosom since the first time l
opened my mouth in public life?"
