The Cincinna,ians are having a great
time over the arrival of the Irish patriot,
John Mitchell. The City Council passed a
resolution. extending him the hospitali,ies of
the city and formal welcome. The press,
we believe unanimously, came oat in strong
terms against this proceeding, and seemed to
speak the voice of the citizens generally
They were tired of man-worship; had got
sickened BY the Kossuth reception and the
Council disputing the bills which followed;
didn't like Mitchell's conduct in this country.
but accorded him all honor for his labors in
Ireland. An Indignation meeting was cali
ed. 1t was very large and enthusiastic, and
was truly an indignation meeting against
the Couaci, both in its spe eches and resols-
tons. Several members ofthe CouHcil who
had voted for the reception, made speeches
and backed out. One made speech giving
the meeting thunder and sticking to hs po-
sition. He closed in a general muss. In
the mean time Mitchell arrived. He was
first welcomed by the Mayor, ana after that
was all over, the coun cil committee attacked
him with speeches, in which they welcomed
him formally, bat limited he hadn't exactly
behaved himself in this country. they were
evidently trying TO honor him and at the
same time soften an indignant constituency
Mitchell in his reply signified he had under.
stood this was free country, and he iatend-
ed to do in il just as he pleased.
This may be a very serious matter 70 the
Icitizens Of Cincinnati, but il is rather laugh
able, tahe il altogether to people up trees
abroad When Mitchell retired frsm his pa.
per. he said he was going to retise strictly te
private life. With this understa Rding, he
has no claims upon "public receptions" from
cities. n appears to US he has been leading
a more public life since his "retirement''
than when he was editing paper. He has
been travelling around, delivering lectures.
receiving the visits of military companions,
orders and associations, and having happy
time of it generally, and just as he. has a
right to do, doing as he pleases. But the
Cincinnatians are becoming like the New
Workers. No distinguished person can well
escape the bore of a d:uaes, and he is lucky
if he don't suffer public reception from the
city. They ere rather fond of rendering
man worship, and it is abou, time the whole
business were stopped, and distinguished Wis.,
itors rende ed comfortable and happy, inste ad
L
ners, receptions and speeches.

The Bodsnm MInes-CoaI Found.
We noticed yesterday the progress Of sink
ing the shaft in search Of workable vein OF
coal, by Mr.. WIN. Kersteman, at the above
named mines, one mile below this city. We
had fixed the time for reaching the Vein
which the miners were approo ching, accord.
ing to the Information we received upon the
ground, at about two weeks distant. But the
developments Of yesterday morning proved
that all hands were mistaken. About o.
clock yesterday morning blast by the miners
below, revealed TIE gratifying fact that the
coal had actually been reached, and the lit
tie settlement which has already been made
about the works, were awakened and thrown
into commotion by the continued screams OF
huge whistle attached to the engine en-
ployed in sinking the shaft. Mr. Kersteman
himsel If was aroused. bad frightened, think
ing of nothing else but that some sad disas-
ter had befallcn his works or his men. He
was soon assured, however, that the cause
Of the unusual excitement was one OF re-
jocing rather than danger or misfortune
The discovery Of the vein, which was sup.
posed to be some Is feet deeper, was as
much a source Of Publication among the
hard king miners, as it was gratifying TO
Mr. K himself.
The announcement in town, in the morn
ing, that Mr.. h. had realized his highest ex.
pecta,ions in finding Coal, drew large
crowd OF visitors 10 the mines. Congratula-
tons were freely exchanged, all seemed to
share in Que appreciation Of so valuable an
acquisition to our city, and every one wish
ed Mr.. X. a rich reward for his enterprising
efforts. The quality # the Coal found, was
tested by the blacksmith en- the GROUND, who
pronounced it superior in many respects, to
the coal generally found on the Ohio river.
We have SO often spoken CT the advantages
to our City, TO be drived from the success oil
this enterprise that we TO not feel disposed
/ to diate upon that subject now; suffice il then
| to say that zoe hare TIE Coal, with all the nd
vantages that gre to be derived from boun'
tiful supply OF superior quality. In day
or two the vein will be passed and its thick
ness and properties more correctly tested
when We will give our readers the benefit Of
such further investigation.

We call attention to the communication
published in to-day's paper relative to Libra
ries. Reading Rooms, &c. While we entiEc-
ly agree with our correspondents ideas and
wishes, we respectfully aecline aeceding to
his invitation, that tce shall take up the sab
ject-because, in the first place, it is in very
good hands so long as he is engaged in dis
cussing it; and secondly, because we have
worn ourselves out on that subject several
times, and without affecting more than to
arouse some few, and secure partial organi.
zaticn for good. At one time we even went
so far as to offer les OF the best American
papers and periodicals for a Reading Room,
free OF cost, and keep the room for nothing
asking only that citizens should procure the
necessary rooms and furniture. This proves
that we had at least the proper zeal, in our
endeavors. That offer is net before the
community now. Our correspondent is
right in pointing out the example of other
places and the necessity existing here, f.
the establishing of such enterprises. We
hope be and others will avail themselves OF
the Journal columns to discuss the subject
thoroughly.

Ifw know anything of the character of
Col Drew, he has too much 6rmness and
independence to be inundated or infiu-
cnced by such threats. He will, we doubt
not, so far as the election of U. S. Sena-
tor is concerned, fearlessly pursue such
course as his own conscience and judgment
may dictate, regardless of any threats from
the Fusionists or Know Nothings.
Warrick Dem.
We certainly do hope Col. Drew will
not be inundated by any threats from the
performance of what he may consider his
duty, and the desires of his constituency.
BY permitting himself to be thus inAu-
enced. he would prove very emphatically
the majority in Posey and vanderburgh
had placed their confidence in the wrong
man. But when we tell him, and tell the
editor of the Warrick Democrat, who is
not constituent of Col. Drew's, that the
people of these counties are not disposed to
see minority in the Legislature defeat
the will of the majority, and thus defeat
the will Of the majority of the People OF
Indiana, through their chosen Representa-
tives, by using cowardly advantage-we
speak what we believe to be a fact, and not
threat. No organ of the Democratic
party, in OF out of this Senatorial District,
has right to say that the voters who
elected Col. Drew, desire that he shall
take such action in the Legislature, as will
assist in giving Indiana the next two years
only one Senator in Congress, while every
other State in the Union, even to the least
has two Senatorial Representatives We
deny that such is the disposition Of Col
Drew's supporters here as a mass. We
deny. that in electing man to represent
them, they elected him to represent any
such rascally principle as is contained il
the above policy. We deny, that in voting
for man who was running as popular
sovereignty" candidate, they intended tina
from any motive, he should in the Legisla
ture offer by his vote and action refuta
ton 10 the very foundation Of all popular
sovereignty, that the majority shall rule
No threats have been made to induce Col
Drew to act contrary TO his own inclina
tons, be they right or wrong. But he
has been told that he will be held to q
strict accountability for Lis votes. and es
pecially for his action in this matter. HI
has voted topostpone the consideration of o
s. Senator till the 22d ofFebruary. That j
at least so far right, that he will have tn
opportunity in the intervening time to lear
more definitely the will of his constituent
on this subject. Let him use the timet
advantage. in consulting with the Peopl
of his District-not with the miserabl
brokeh-down hacks in this city, who OIL
every occasion assume to speak the voic
of those who most heartily despise them
