8 CoAL.-It is not moro than twenty five
year. since Pennsylvania coal began to be
a recognized article OF production and COM
merce. This year the product Of our an
thracite mines alone will amount to not
les. than six millions of tons. This, as de-
livered at the mines, is worth at least
twelve million of dollars, so that this great
sum may be regarded as the amount Of
solid wealth dug annually, at the presen
time, from the bowels of the State. We
do not here undertake to show the addi-
tiona advantages it gives, in the encour-
agement OF industry and the employment
of hundred OF thousands Of persons in
manufactures and commerce.. We only
wish to Impress upon The minds of our
readers that twelve millions year is low
estimate Of the sum now paid to Pennsyl-
vania for the coal dug from below her soil
Ten years hence, when railroads, canals
mining. manufactures and population shall
have vastly mu!tiplied,our annual produce
ofanthracite coal will probably reach eigh-
teen million OF dollars.
In comparison with the coal crop Of
Pennsylvania all other crops of every.
other State sink into insignfcance.
There is n greater value OF cotton pro-
duced at The South /; but it is at a great
| risk, with much labor, and it depends for
its value solely Oh the foreign demand.
But the coal is part Of the very soil on
| PENNSYLVANIA no irosts' floods or draught
imperial its quantity or impair its quality
1t is subject to no influences from abroad
and to no tricks Of the commercial world
Its market il at homo and the dcmanl, we
may be sure, will always equal the supply,
how yer great the supply may be. Wheat
may be ruined BY flies and yermin,co may
perish from drought, and potatoes from
the rot, but the coal Of Pennsylvania can
suffer no Obstruction of damage. 1t rests
saio and sound 10 tho recesses where Prov
idence has placed it, and asks nothing OF
human industry except that it BE- taken

The NRw BRITlsH CoMMASDER III THE
CaIMEA-Lieut. Gen. Sir William God
rington, is the oldest surviving son Of Ad-
miral Sir Edward Codrntgon, the victor of
Navarino. He entered the Codstream
Guards in the year 1871, and was con-
nected with them for thirty-three years with.
out seeing any war experience, yet he rose
from rank to rank until he became a Major
General, in 1854, just at the commence
ment Of the war with Russia: He went to
the East as an amateur, but on the return
Of the Quartermaster General, Lord De
Ros, on account OF i'll health, Brigadler
General Aircy was appointed to succeed
him, and General Codring;on was appoint
cd yer Airey's brigade.
He figured at Alma, Inkermann, and the
last attack on tho Beden. Ire latter was
commanded by him. IL that be a fair speci-
men s his generalship, the change in the
command of the British forces can scarce
ly be regarded as an improvement.
