Lafayette and Consolidation.

The citizens of Lafayette have voted AL for
Consolidation 81 against it. We hope some Of
our contemporaries will now discover that the
people of Lafayette have some desire for Con-
soldaton, Their very decisive vote in favor Of it
would Indicate as much.
We believe it is conceded, without dispute,
that to bring in Lafayette is desirable, 1t is
merely (and very vaguely argued that she
should be kept out to propitiate certain unex-
planned political and sectional feelings Con-
solidation should be had in II fair, honest and
kindly spirit. We do not believe that any ''po-
htical and sectional feelings would defeat Con-
solidation, with Lafayette in the plan; and we
believe the union of Lafayette important if not
essential, to the success of any plan of Con-
solidation. We should be sorry to see the first
step to Consolidation one of such uncompromis-
ing bigotry and prejudice as the exclusion of
Lafayette from the . political and sectional
feelings spoken of by the Delta.

Mobile We inclined to be patient but it is exceed
ingly difficult. We suppose however that things all

The Northern mail again failed from all points beyond
Richmond yesterday, in consequence. learn from the
Richmond Dispatch of Monday, of the steamboat Pow
hatan having Saturday been found to have been
completely disabled by her hard service of two weeks past
that her trip had to be suspended for few days until she
could be repaired which it expected would have
done in time to have enabled her to make the trip ycser
day to Richmond; therefore it is not probable that we
shall have any mails north of that place until tomorrow
The Dispatch says that the Powhatn has proved herself
capital ice boat For two weeks has she continued
cut her through ice Jess than six inches thick
Saturday her paddles broken and damaged indie
pendent of other injuries that she could travel longer
without repairs. The Potomac is said to be full of

EARLY llisToRY OF CoAL-When coal was first intro
uccd into England the prejudice against it was so strong
that the Commons pcttoned the crown prohibit the
"noxious fuel A royal proclamation having failed to
abatc the growing nuisance commission was issued to
ascertain who burned coal within the city its neigh
borhood and to punish them with fine for the first offence
and by demolition of their furnaces if they persisted in
transgrcsSion law was at length passed making it
capital offence to burn coal in the city of London and
only permitting it to be used in the orges in the vicinity
Among the records in the Tower Mr. Astc found locu-
mcnt importing that in the time Edward T. man had
been tried convicted and executed for the crime burn
ing coal in london 1t took three centuries entirely
