tion--a good maxwell educated--with
superior business talents; large practical
knowledge and industrious business habits ;
and, with all, is a gentleman. All this is
true. But it is equally true of the candi-
date presented by Northumberland nor
does it, being true, change the character
OF the question at issue between the two
counties.
Northumberland and Schuylkill together
form the congressional district. Schuylkill
had the first representative. Usage, JUS
tice, and common courtesy lay at the foun-
dation Of the claim urged by Northumber-
land, and superadded TO these is the fact,
with most thinking men a weighty and
controlling consideration that the faith of
Schnylkill county stands pledged to North
umberland. Will she forfeit her faith !
we hope better things.
We say nothing against either Of the
gentlemen presented by Schuylkill county.
We are urging the claims of no particular
candidate at this time; and could with ear
nestness and pleasure support either Of the
gentlemen named; he being the nominee
of the party, nominated justly, and accord
ing TO usage. We are simply contending
that our own county has right to be
heard and respected That she is entitled
TO the nomination, if upon no other con-
sideration, upon the recognized principle
that turn about is fair play.

BY the time the coal has reached the
place OF consumption its average price is
increased, say, two dollars per ton. Who
receivesit, similar examination will show
It nearly all goes 10 the farmer. The
working and construction OF the railway
and canal, the vessels all representing a
large amount Of consuming, as well as pro-
ductive labor. Say that, during the pres
ent year there will be sent from all the
Anthracite fields in Pennsylvania six mil.
lions of tons of coal, worth twenty-four mil
lions OF dollars, and assuming, as we may
safely do, that nineteen millions goesto the
farmer, and il follows that the home mar
ket, thus directly opened by the Anthra-
cite coal trade 10 the farmer, is greater
than the average entire exports of food TO
all the world.
But the above by no means exhibits all
the benefits accruing TO farmers from the
Anthracite coal trade. Let him look at
the numerous furnaces, boundaries, and
machine shops which have sprung into ex-
istence as result Of this trade. The mills
and factories which have been erected
where no water power exists, and all the
train OF consequences which we cannot
now pause to enumerate, and he will not
fail TO see that every ion of coal mined
tends to increase the price OF his principle
product food, while increasing the facilities
for clearing and culivating his better soils,
and diminishing the price Of spades, ploughs,
clothing and all other articles required for
his use and consumption. Thus he will
perceive that the indirect gain 10 him from
this trade is even more than that realized
from the direct supply Of food, sc. TO those
Immediately engaged at and about the
mines.
But, we are extending our article be-
yond reasonable limits. Leaving much
unsaid, therefore, which could be urged, !,
we will, in conclusion, simply remark that
farmers cannot live alone, producers cam
not thrive in a world without consul
mers. The secret Of prosperity is the divi-
sion OF labor, the allotment of industry into
all IFS manifold departments and branches !;
by which population is reared upon the
spot to consume all the that can be raised
there. Hence in purely agricultural
district, remote from towns, the best farm
land is worth only from $40 to $50 per
acre, while in the neighborohood of large
towns and thriving Populous districts, they
are worth often from one TO three and
even FIVE hundred dollars the acre. 1t is
the interest of the farmer therefore, to en-
courage improvements, the construction OF
Railroads. the opening Of mines; the
building OF furnaces, factories, villages and
towns.

PENNSYLVANIA MINERS AND FARMERS.
1t is TO be presumed that every reader
understands the general idea Of the connec-
zion of interest between The Miner and
Farmer, since the chief cost Of coal is form
ed in the labor Of mining it, and transport
ing it TO market and the chief expense of
that labor is, of course, the food which has
10 be bought Of the farmer. There are,
however, many other elements in the cost,
which 60 in similar manner, in the form
Of profits 10 the cultivator. 1t has been es-
timated, and may be safely regarded as a
fact, that fve-sixths OF all the money re.
ceived in Pennsylvania for the Anthracite
mined and sold, goes directly into the
pockets of Pennsylvania farmers. The
immense importance OF this Anthracite
trade to them, is, therefore, worthy of their
most serious consideration, at this juno
ture, especially, when the vast, and IN rich
ness and quality, unsurpassed, coal fields
Of Northumberland, usually known and
spoken OF under the general term of the
Shamokin coal fields ; but, comprehending
within their proper boundaries, several
extensive tracts or estates the property Of
enterprising individuals, or energetic in
corporations, (of which, in future articles
we shall take occasion 10 speak more at
large) are, a, length, after many years Of
active effort or the part ot those untiring
and public spirited gentlemen, (who, appre-
ciating their importance, as source of
wealth, TO the county, not only, but to the
state at large have labored with continued
industry for this end, about TO be remuner-
atingly developed, by means of ample out
let's to the Atlantic seaboard. Agricultural
readers in this good old county, should be
peculiarly interested in understanding,
first, the vast sums OF money, which the
Anthracite trade has brought, and is still
bringing TO the state and, secondly, the
proportion Of it which has gone, and is still
going into the pockets of the farmers.
In making our estimates we must, OF
course, be governed by the operations Of
other regions, in great degree, the mines
of Northumberland county, being even now
only finding an avenue to market. We
will estimate the entire aggregate OF An
thraci,e sen, 10 market from Pennsylvania
mines, from 1910 to 1884, at 35,OO0,00O
of tons, an estimate certainly within the
figure. Say that, at the place Of consump-
ton, this coal has been worth no more than
the average price oI 81 per ton, or the
prodigious total sum of $4,000, 0,000.-
Now the question important to be answer
ed is, how has this money been divided
Let us examine the matter. Say that, al
the mines coal has been worth an average
price of Two dollars per ton. OF thi:
amount one portion goes to the men who
opened the mines and prepared them fol
being worked second portion 10 those

THE LOWER CALIFORNIA EXPEDITION.

We take the following from the Washington
Sentinel Of the 25th:
President WALKER NOT OvERCoME-The last &C
counts from Lower California recevedby the North
ern Light are much more favorable to the success OF
the expedition commanded by Captain, or Colonel,
or President Walker, than those Immediately pre-
cediuq them Indeed, it was the general belief,
that Walker and his band after achieving remarka-
BILE but temporary successes had been entirely
"crushed out" by a superior Mexican force 1t
was supposed that considerable portion of them
had been cut off in detail and that the balance, after
a siege of few days, had been overcome and ia
ken.
out the news brought by the Northern Light,
and published in paper Of to-day, represents the
tiIhbusters as having been eminently successful
After having met with some reverses, they were
besieged by about one hundred MeXicans and In
,lians in an adobe house. from which they made sew
,.ral sales. which resulted in no considerable sue
cess to the one or damage to the other. Finally
they availed themselves of cold and rainy night,
(the 14th,) and made successful attack on their
besiegers, who were benumbed with cold. The lat
ter fed, leaving arms, horses, brass held-pece,
and all their camp equipage
1t Is also said that another hand of two hundred
and fifty, who went out in the barque Anita to JON
Walker have made landing, and in all probablll-
ty have formed a junction with Walkers force by
which he will in all likelihood be enabled to man
tain his supremacy. We have already expressed
our opinion as to the character Of this expedition
and it is needless say anything more on that sub.
iect We refer our readers to the news which Will

TgE DRFAIcArIoN AT NEW ORLEANs-It has
already been stated that f. f. ALLISON. Of the firm
of ALLISON g. Co., Cotton brokers, at New Orleans,
has disappeared, leaving some Of his creditors minus
The New Orleans correspondent of the Charleston
Courier says:
A day or SO before lie left, he purchased lot of
cotton from Pickett Perkins & Co., for cash, to be
paid when his bills for the amount should be nego-
tiated The bills he sold to of our bankers and
received $4,000, which was not paid over to T., T.,
a. Co By a similar transaction, am informed that
he rased $4,000 from another party, and with these
sol 900, and considerable sum additional which
he had realised from other quarters he left us with
a fair provision for the future.
One firm, the purchases from which amounted to
about p 600 seemed to have feared that some
thing was going wrong and caused Allison to be
followed up until all or nearly all the amount had
been paid.
Mr. Allison is from Scotland, where his family
continued to reside while he was doing business
here lie visited his native country few months
since, aud it is said that while there he made ar
rangements to send his family to Australia. 1t is
presumed that he also IS now on his way to that
mart of the world with the ayas of his SpecuLdtOnS
among US.
The standing ofMr. Allison in our community has
been rather high and he has deceived none to a
greater degree than he has his own countrymen,
whose shrewdness is proverbal. Ills manners
were very agreeable and his social qualities so sat
isfactory among those interested that he was eIe-
waited to the dignity of president OF the st. An
drews Society OF this city.

. Mr. SoULE--The Washington Union, id the
course of lengthy article upon the recent events
at Madrid puts in defense Of the conduct Of our
Minister: FAFsTtIVF
If Ambassadors must necessarily be cravtens,
towards and poltroons, vile to abandon tn air
nearest and dearest female relatives to the impert
nent sneers of a European coterie, we can have no
American Ambassadors. No American would or
could, or should degrade himself from his manhood
to position so base. No American lady could or
dare trust herself abroad. No American, of what
rank soever should or could be permitted into the
society of these valiant Europeans. And as to the
suggestion that any officer Of the United States by
accepting an Office in the service of the American
people cedes to any power above him here, or any
supercious fop abroad, his right as man, father,
husband, or son, so monstrous proposition could
only come from those whose ignorance of reserved
rights is proyerbial and whose system of conduct
consists of unmanly attack and indecent allusion.-
We trust the day will never arrive when an Ameri-
can lady will be beyond the pale of American pro-
lection, or when the American Government can en-
ploy as its representative, and the protector Of the
national dignity, man unfit to protect woman
protect his own personal honor and hers. r..
