AUGUSTA Coal MINEs.-The discovery
of large quantities of valuable anthracite
coal in this county, is circumstance OF
more importance to our saried interests than
any single event that has occurred for many
wears, if ever before. As yet the surface
of the ground only is penetrated, and
consequently the best coal which is always
the deepest, has not been brought to light
The fact that the coal is found so near the
surface greatly increases its value. In one
of the English mines it was first discovered
sixteen hundred feet below the ground, and
it is now worked at seventeen and eighteen
hundred feet. Before many years, 1t is
probable that manufacturing establishments
will spring up in the neighborhood OF our
collieries, which making demand for the
article, coal of superior quality will be brot
up from the earth. By that time there will
no doubt be railroad from Staunton 10 the
mines, but in the mean while, McAdam-
ICED or plank road is very much needed
The saving IN fuel which could be made by
the use of coal instead of wood, independ-
emily of other advantages accruing to the
town, would doubtless amply repay our cit
liens for any amount subscribed by them
for the construction Of such an improve
ment.
For the important discovery alluded to,
the public are indebted chiefly to Maj. J. M
McCuE, whose enterprise in developing the
resources of the County is worthy of the
highest commentator.

WING STATE CONVENTION.

The Manchester Republican, suggest that
some action should be taken for the appoint
ment of Delegates to a State Convention,
to meet not later than February. and sug-
gests Winchester as the place at which il
shall be held. The Republican says, sit is
duty we owe to the Wing party that
prompt measures should be adopted for a
thorough organization. in view of the ap-
preaching Presidential canvass, and the ne
cessity of appointing delegates to Nation
al Convention for the selection of candi-
date"
We cordially concur in the Republican
views as to the propriety of holding CON-
ven:ion and that as soon as prar'fcaoie'-
We are not of those who ale discouraged
by the result of the l-te gubernatorial cleo
ton and prepa,ed to let the great Presiden-
tial contest of 1852 go by default. There
is aothing IN that result calculated to make
the Wing party of Virginia despair of sue
cess liz another action. In 1874 Polk car
ried the State by majority almost as large
as JoHNsoN's under the extended right of
suffrage, and yet in '4S, Gen. TAYLOR re-
duced it to mere triAe. In the late cleo
ton, too, many causes operated against the
election of SUMMERS, that could not be
brought to bear upon Our candidate for the
Presidency, whoever he may be.
All that is necessary to insure the sue
cess of our party is little closer imitation
of the policy of our opponents; and aprom-
inent item in that policy is timely and eff
cient organization. No matter how fright
full the odds against them, we always find
them ready and willing to fight. There is
system IN all their designs, unanimity in all
their movements, combination in allthe'r eff
forts. The old adage that ga rolling stone
gathers no moss" does not hold good in po-
htical matters. Nothing has contributed
more to the success of the Democratic par
ty than the perseverance with which they
have maintained their organization. Even
when success Is hopeless they always have
their candidates in the field. rally upon
them, and stick to each other. AT every
election some are added to their number
and finally the contemplate minority takes
the place of the towering majority. Let us
follow their. example. five organize as
they do, and work as they do without re-
gard to adverse circumstances, except 10
battle the more vigorously, we shall assur-
edly triumph in their stead.

A Challenge from Kossuth TO Capt. Long-1he
Same JVitLdra,cn and an Apology Made.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7, lS52.-AIl the crcum-
stances connected with The alleged difficulties on
board the United States steam frigaie Mississippi,
after she started with Kossulh and his companions
fur this country, as reported under The authority of
an atacle 10 our papers, are spell truths, and are
on record in the Navy Department, and will be
furnished when called for officially by Congress.
The thing went 50 far that Kossuth challenged
Captain Long, but subsequently Withdrew the
challenge and apoogised. This apology sealed
Capt. Longs ips-for, among men of honor, re-
traction and apology close the lips of both parties.
Still the facts occurred, although suppressed for The
time. 1t was series Of petty insults and vexa'
tions continued frum day IL day,

Our Calumniafors.

Il is not possible TO contradict in detail
the falaehoods whereof TIE Tribune is the SUBJ
ect, intended orpolitice effect, but now and then
one may be selected as a specimen of the rest:
The Opposition Primary Elections in this City
are to be held on the Doth of Augvst, but one of
our City Reporters misook the call as for the Goth
of Jaly, and on that day wrote general descrip-
ton Of those Meetings, founded on his own per-
sonal acquaintance with former affairs of the kind
which he caused to be inserted in the City News
of next mornings Tribune. The Editor was not
then in town, being on his way home from the Lun-
dy's Lane Convention and the paragraph crept in
without being seen by any responsible Associate.
1t was one of those blunders which might hap
pen in any extensive newspaper office, where no
single person can possibly see beforehand erery-
hing that is inserted; and any person of decent
intelligence connected with daily journal would
understand that it was blunder at once, and give
fair guess at the manner gifts origin. But The
EceHiRg Post at once bounced upon it as an evil
dence of The T'ribuaeS mendacity and party ma

NORTH CAROLINA,

Up to thi, present IL p. Nj. Of Friday,
we have bat few returns from the North
Carolina Election, but those few are UNI
eXpectedly favorable. The line of Tele-
graph runs mainly through Opposition
s'rongholds, the Wing strength being
mainly considerably West of it lin Gull
ford, hedell, Wilkes. Stanly, &c.) or
SOUTHEAST lin Beaufort, Camden, Tyrrell,
&c.) The vote appears TO be increased
from that of 1850, which was the largest
ever pOlled in the State-Gov. Reds vote
of that year being the highest ever given
to any candidate in North Carolina. His
majority on that vote was 2,774; of which
he now seems to have lost 315 in the only
four Counties from which we have heard
fully These are large Counties, and
like result throughout the State
would give the rival candidates for Cover
nor about an even vote; but. since the vote
is obviously increased Reid should nj least
have held his own in three such strong
holds of his party as Wake, Camberlard

THE DEMOCRACY WHO MEAN 1T.

A personal friend OF long standing at
Rochester, who has always hitherto acted
with the self-styled Democracy but who
writes us that he shall this time vote for
ScoTT and GRAHAM, gives the following
incidental glimpse of the prospect in
Western New York:
"TO-day SCoTr is the same as elected Presi-
dent for four years fron the It'll of March next.
That's a foregone conclusion ! and the Democ-
rocy might as well las some Of them dol take
something warm 20 to bed and sleep till the
polls are closed in November, and then get up to
see the Wing bonfres and listen to the Kilograms
from the four winds of heaven procaiming the
triumph of Scott.
81 understand all the clustering lying and bet
ting on the head Of that forlorn bunker and foe
to all true Democracy, Frank Pierce but mark
me the Democracy here Of both stripes, is
hollow as a stove-ppe. One-hqC of the Van
Buren, wing will vote for Scott and Graham; one
fourth for the Pittsburgh nominee and the bal
once for Pierce, Impelled by faint hopes of keep
ing IN the line of promotion to office when the
party shall triumph again. The Cass men will
divide in the same proportion, except the Pitts
burgh quarter, Who will save shoe-bother on the
day OF election by staying at home. j.. g."
