The ENQUIRER ON Feud..

Our neighbor Of the Enquirer is most sim
to sustain the VIGOROUSLY false statements
which he makes, against eight and knowl-
edge" in reference to Wing politics in New
York. The "Inklings" selected from the
Tribune failedto prove anything because they
were, in the connection used, so utterly in
consistent upon their face. They are, there
fore, dropped, AMI the statement renewed up
on the authority of ga distinguished Wing of
this city, who resided portion of the past
summer in New York." who informed our
neighbor that the feud between the "Silver
Greys" and sWoolies' was as warm as that
between the "Hards" and "Softs."
Now, the Enquirer knows better than to
believe, or to publish, expecting that an in.
telligent community will believe, a word it
says, upon any such authority. The only
distinguished characteristic we can perceive
is either the Enquirer or its Wing informant,
is the distinguished ignorance of New York
politics, displayed in the making and publish.
ing any such state nents. The history of the
campaign just closed shows their fallacy.-
The Locofoco factions, have INDUCED in the
bittere.t quarrels, and the most scurrilous in
vective throughout the entire canvass. The
Wings, on the contrary, nominated their can
didates with the utmost harmony and elected
them triumphantly. fsrlr 80 7-l
The ticket made, consisted of seven "SiI.
yer Grays" and three "Wooies" only. The
defeat Of the two candidates for Judges Of
| Appeals, leaves the number of "Silver Greys'
elected, five. The three co-cailed 'sWoolies'
are also elected. This is what our neighbol
is pleused to call Seward triumph! go. a'
Former difference were not known in the
contest. The Enqnirer's Wing exchanges
from Now York, don't show that any such
feud existed, as described by that paper AM
its distinguished Wing informant The En-
quirer may not, bat the Journal does know
what it states in regard TO the political char.
acter of the Wings elected, t. be true. Il
knows it not from summers residence, but
from an intimate acquaintance Of brief life
time with New York politics, and also will

On several occasions, we have alluded to
the immense quantities Of excellent coal, on
the line of the Wabash and Erie Canal, which
will be opened to this market by the compile
ton Of this structure. There are immense
coal fields at points not far distant from Ev'
ansville, directly on the canal, and one, two
and three miles, from its banks. We recoi-
lect the late Mr.. Burbank, owner OF Foun'
dry here, telling US he had tried coal brought
from some fifteen or twenty miles up the CO.
nal, which he pronounced as good as the
Pittsburgh coal for his use. It's known to
the generality of Our readers, that the coal
found ON the banks of the river between this
place and Louisville, cannot be used to adj
vantage by foundres, although some of it is
excellent coal for steamboats, and family con-
sumption. Mr.. B. had his foundry on the
canal, and arrangements made before his
death, for the convenient reception Of coal
by canal. He made the remark to Us once,
that he never expected to use pound Of
Pittsburg coal again, after the opening OF the
canal, as better coal could be got here to sell
by the quantity atfive or six cents per bushel,
highest rate. ii7.
Lately, we have heard of the discovery of
more coal farther up the canal. Mr.. o. H.
Cannon,a young man of New Albany, brought
us evening before last, some specimens Of
coal found on some property he has lately
purchased, on the canal, about mile above
Dongola, and forty-five miles. from Evans.
vile. lie says an old coal man has tested it,
and pronounced it equal if not superior to the
Pittsburgh coal. A large bank of it lies i'm
mediately on the canal, and can almost be
thrown by the shovel into boats, from where
it lies. The bank runs. horizontal with the
canal short distance, then laps off into the
country. The specimens shown us, looked
very much like the Pittsburgh article. In
mailing the canal embankment, nearly all
the dirt has been taken from the top of the
layer of coal, and it is therefore accessible
without trouble. In thot region, there is a
we have yet heard of in that vicinity, right on
the canal. There are valuable mines mi lie
from the canal, near Dongola. Further'up
there are yet more mines. BY next winter,
we anticipate Evansville will receive her
principle supplies of coal, for manufacture
ing and family purposes, by canal, and at a
price half that which has generally been paid
here for. Pittsburgh coal. say six or seven
cents. This will prove ono of the great adj
vantagesEvansville possesses for manufactur
ing. There are large quantities of excellent
iron ore on or near the canal, some Of which
has at intervals for years past. been brought
to this city by White River steamboats, , ant
sold here to advantage, and even shipped te
Cincin natl. This canal will open immense
mineral wealth to this city, and of that we
shall hereafter speak fully. .e s-f svt .
