The coal lands of Southern Indiana are
becoming vastly valuable to the holders, as re-
cent sales at Newburgb, Cannelton and 9th
er points on the river. fully demopstrate. A
responsible Company from New Orleans, a:
we are informed, have made conditional
purchase Of the extensive Coal properly on
the lands of Judge Rob erts situated neal
Newburgh, for the immense sum of S75 1000
The Company purpose erecting extensive
manufacturing establis hments as soon as
practicable, and will work the mines as Wig
orously as possible. 1t is only within the last
two years that these mines have attracted
the attention of capitalists, and the quail
ty of the coal been understood and apprecia-
ted by steamboatmen and mechanics whose
business required the consumption OF this
kind Of fuel.
Messrs. Hutchinson e. Williams have also
sold their valuable coal openings, condition
ally to the same Company which lie adjoin-
ing the lands of Judge Roberts. The coal
taken from these mines is of superior quality,
possessing less of the slaty formation pecu-
liar to other mines on the river, and in ex-
tent they are totally inexhaustable.
The increasing demand for this article OF
foel for the use of steamboats, on the river
and Tor shipment to Southern cities, fully
guarantees a ready market for all that can re
mined, at remunerating prices, and affords
ample security to the enterprising capitalists
in their liberal investments.
The great coal resources of Southern In
diana have found the assistance of foreign
capital Necessary to their proper develop
m ent, and it is gratifying to every public
spirited man to witness the success that has
followed these investments at Cannelton Ind.
and at Hawesville, KY. This recent pur-
chase at Newburgh. should it be pursued by
the active working of the mines alrendy
opened, cannot fail to exert favorable
influence upon the "Pocket" generally, al
though Newburgh will Of course, be the
nucleus of its operations and its advantages.
We have the pleasure of an intimate ac-
quaintance with one of the purchasers, and
know him to possess all the requisites that
capital skill and long experience will supply in
conducting the business of coal mining and
coal selling in he Southern markets as well
as on the river. Judge Roberts. and Messrs.
Hutchinson & Williams have made the first
fortunes out of this property, with but litie'ia-
Dor and there no doubt is a much larger one
in store for the new purchasers.

The Wing Admin istratiOn Vim dicatcd.
The whole country, says the Louisville
Journal, knows how fiercely the administra-
tion of Mr.. Fillmore was abused for what was
called its "exiravagance," its ''profusion, " its
"waste of the public money" Facts how
ever have triumphantly INDICATED that ad.
M nissration against the base and lying
charge. The Register of the Treasury has
officially certified the following which we
find in the Washington City and New York
papers. If the Democratic editors can read
il, and then reiterate their accusations of
Wing extravaganza, the Democratic editors
must be as unblushing as Satan himself:
Here is given in tabular form a statement
ment of the amount Of estimates transmitte
by the Secretary of the Treasury. and of the
appropriations made by Congress, for the SER

~ From the report of the Cincinnati
Council proceedings it appears that quite an
Exciting discussion was had upon the question
of paying the IL extra policemen that were
called out by the Mayor to put down the
street preacher Kirkland. Several members
voted for the appropriation who disapproved
the conduct OF the Mayor, believing that he
had made it binding upon the city and it
would eventually have to be paid. majori-
ty however were governed by the almost
unanimous expression of public opinion and
administered meri.ed rebuke to the Mayor
by refusing tc p ay the bill.

From California.

EXECUTION hree men named Acker-
man, Thompson and Stewart, were hung at
Sacramento, April 29th, for the murder oil
Jack Carroll
Business generally was suspended, and the
ail-absorbing topic vas the triple execution.
The day opened rainy, but at 10 O'clock, the
sun came out in all his glory. The streets
were crowded with numerous horsemen as
well as by pedestrians. The rain had not
left the streets in as agreeable a plight as
might be wished for, but all seemed determin-
ed to see despite the mud. =
Thompson was dressed in a blue flannel
shirt, black pants, belt &c. He also Wore a
small black California hat. Stewart was
dressed in an olive green coat, white shirt,
black pants and hat similar to Thompson's
Alderman wore a white shirt, black frock
coat and pants. Stewart and Alderman
smoked cigars from the time they left tie
brig till on the scaffOld.
1t is stated that in Ackerman's cell were
several woodcuts, and among the rest, one re-
presenting an execution, with criminal
about to be hung, ATTENDED by the sheriff and
a clergyman Alderman defaced it and i,h
pencil made the rope appear on the clergy
mans neck! Although the youngest, he was
evidently the most hardened of the three cr-
minals.
We understand that the criminals made a
full confession.
Thompson was twenty-five years old. He
was born in southampton, England land has
parents now living. Stewart was born in
the City Of Philadelphia, was but twenty
years old and has a mother living there now
has been in California about two years
Barney Alderman was l9Years old the day
previous to his sentences; he was born ia
Lancaster county, Pa, but went in his youth
to Oswego county, N. Y, where his parents
now reside; he came from New York City to
California about year since.

I'd at the LIST of oreign appointments which
we published on Saturday. Read that list
carefully, fellow-citizens, and see how the

by this administration. Yes, see how the
Union Democrats are requited for their glo-
rious services in saving the country, which,
but for their devoted efforts, would have been
severed in twain by those who are the admin
istraton's especia favorites.
President Pierce gave two places in the
Cabinet t. Southern Disunionists, but not one
to any Southern Union mar. He gave SUI
preme Judgeship to a Southern Disunionist,
but not Thing of the sort to any Southern Union
man. He has gwen the Spanish mission, and
thu Brazilian mission, to Southern Dsunion-
lists, bat not a solitary mission to a Southern
Uni man. He has given the Brazilian
cha-geship the Sandman chargeship, and the
Denmark charge ship, TO Southern Disunion-
lists, but not solitary chargeship except the
unimportant one at Austria to Southern
Union man. And he has given the Alexa :
dria consulship, the Hawaiian consulship, the
Paris consuship, the Panama consulship, the
RIO Consulship. and the Trieste consulship,
TO Southern Disunionists, but not solitary
consulship, except the very insignificant one
at Melbourne, to u outhern Union man. So

SPEAKING MICHIGAN SHERTFF.-The little
schooner Active, owno d in this place, came
into port on Thursday evening last, having
on board the Sheriff of Grand Traverse Mi
chigaD, together with two of his posse. 1t
seems that this little vessel was lying off the
port of Grand Traverse, trading with Ind.
dams and others of that place, when she was
boarded by the sheriff and four assistants
armed with warrant against Capt. B,
for some real or fancied offence against "the
peace of the people of the State of Michi-
gan"
On being made acquainted with the Off
GERS business. the Captain suggested to him
the propriety of sending his boat with two
of his assistants ashore, and himse IF and the
others remaining on the Active, saying he
would "weigh anchor and run into port
The sheriff complied with The request, aud
the captain weighed anchor, hoisted all sail,
and made for the port of Green Bay. AS
soon as the officer discovered where he was
bound, he jumped upon the pinnacle and
commanded the captain, Sin the name of the
people of Michigan to stop this 'ere schoon-
err" All hands were dead to his commands,
and Capt. b informed him that he had
urgent business at Green Bay, which requir-
ed immediate attention, and that he would
take him and his assistants up and SHOW them
the country, aud that he hadn't doubt but
they would be pleased with it," There was
no resisting the captains polite invitation to
visit our town; SO the sheriff come down and
made himself Sat home," during the passage,
