Coal TRADE FTHE Omo--It is estimated that
the amount OF coal now annually mined OH the
banks Of the Ohio and the tributaries cannot be
less than hirty.fue millions Of bushels, worth, ut
the points of consumption not less than hoo and a
ho millions Of dollars The rate of yearly increase
is probably not less than 90 and perhaps 25 per
cent. At New Orleans, this rate Of increase is
have reached 3,000,0 900 OF bushels. Twenty years
ago, says the Louisville Journal, the idea Of
using coal as fuel on river steamboats, was re-
garded as preposterous, and now it is question
whether this win not, in few years, be the fuel
exclusively used on boats between Pittsburg and
New Orleans.

There ia a tuneful river
In Erin's Isle,
Where the sunbeams culver
In silvery smile
Where the leaves that fall
Meath the autumn sky,
Grow gem-like all,
And never die
And such is the stream by truth enlightened,
That leaves the breast by wisdom frightened,
Where even the joys that storms discover,
Are turned TO gems that glow forever.
There is darlxing tide
In the Indian cline,
BY whose herbless side
There a sulphury slime
To the flower that il touches
A scorching wave
To the bird that approaches
"A weltering grave.
And such are the waters Of bitterness rising,
la the desert bosom Of dark Disgusting
And the birds Of joy, and the flowers Of feeling,
Must perish where'er that wave is stealing.

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
Under this title will be published, during the
y year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
iustri0us in the service Of the country Every por
ton OF the work will receive the most careful atten
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years cnga Sed, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lcry, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment OF this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished mon. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommen dation His daguerrcotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
OF tho living countcnancc.
The drawings and engravings OF DAvignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those Of the
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The typography win be exc
cuted carefully and in as superb style as the en-
cravings themselves The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 16 by % inches made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names Of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each Of the great de.
partments OF lie will have its representatives Art
and Literature are universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great men OF the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend Of glorious nion, will respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable an
undertaking. that its publication may make an era in
the progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
llnsrous OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly
As no work OF this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most Of our citizens the publish
charging very low price. They have, therefore.
