IMPORTANT IMpRovEMEkr.-We lave re-

IMPORTANT lMPR0YEMENT.-We Fave re
ceived the following letter from Mr.. JOB ATKINS,
the intelligent and enterprising Superintendent OF
the "Back Heath Pits,' in Chesterfield county,
which we lay before our readers, and sincerely
hops that he may succeed in pertecting his expert
ment and that it may prove even more advantage
than he hopes for. The subject is certainly of
great interest to miners and the public ct large. The
sThe repeated calamities which have SO frequent.
y occurred in this mining district by the explosion of
carbonic hydrogen gas, and the great loss of life
which has attained those fearful visitations when
compared with the limited extent of the mining op.
eatons have induced me to offer few observations
on the probability of improving the present system
ofventilatlon in Coal Mines, and particularly in those
where the generation of this fearful element con.
ut has occurred to me- that the a plicatiop of a
et of steam in the upcast shaft, would give mate
rial aid to the ventatng current in mines, and
der them much safer than where furnace 10 used at
the bottom of the upcast shaft ary in stua-
tions where the goat" or old workings, are ap-
preaching the shaft, and where it may be supposed
that large quantities of gas will necessarily accumu
late, aud thereby render the use of furnace ventila-
tion unwarrantable.
"Being Impressed with these consideration. and
others of still greater import, have been induced
to apply this system of power to ventate the Black
Heath mines. By which find that can obtain dou-
bis the quantity OF air By the imperfect experiments
which have made, over the system previously in
use. am now preparing an apparatus, on more
sx ended scale and have not the least doubt thai All
the desired advantage will be attained by it. and that
it will prove a valuable auxiliary in mining econ
omy
this system of power by some of the most talented
coie1y engineers in the North of England and the
favorable results thereby arrived at give conclusive
evidence of its merits, surpss the most "a n
guine expectations of its friends
After applying the new apparatus, shall write
plication
We shall await with some anxiety the promised
description by Mr.. Atkins knowing as we do the
vast Importance OF some discovery by which the eep
pits of Chesterfield may be rendered lees dangerous

The Chippewa Chiefs from Washins ston.

Major Herman, Agent of the Chippewas.
and Mr.. Warren, Interpreter for the tribe, arri-
we'd yesterday in the Luella. They are accom-
panied by the Chippewa chiefs who have just
been to Washington concluding treaty for
the cession Of their lands on the Upper Msss-
sippi. These lords of the forest and swamps
are none the worse for their trip; indeed they
look little less savage than before their inroad
into the heart of civilizations precincts They
are satisfied with the bargain they have made
with Uncle Sam; and we'll they may be. Esh-
ke-6oj je-kodj, or Flat Mouth. so called from the
peculiar catfish form of his mouth, looks no
older than he did twenty years ago; and he was
called old Flat Mouth then. He is smart old
fellow; but considerably scampish. He is the
principal man among the Pillager band of Ojib
was. The others of this band are Pe-zhee-ke,
or the Buffalo, JMce-gahzce. or the Eagle NAH
jee-gah-6ooh, which is said to be untranslatable,
but the whites call him ".Major Cab" though
he is anything but a gabber, Kah-bee nah 6ee
or Standing in Row." and .Nay-5un-ay-
ash, or Sailing Sideways" sort of crab, we
suppose.
The Indians of the Mississippi and Red Lake
bands are K,ce-,cee-shan-ish, or the " Bad
Boy" though he is probably no worse than his
fellows; Lash-on-e-ke-zhig, or Crossing Sky.''
Kah-gahje,ce-gun, or I" Crow Feather;' .Mah-
jee-,cay-tce-dush, or "Sound Starter" .Nah-
dee-nah, or Little Hill," don't confound this
with Seho-gah-nick, the "Little Hill" of the
Winnebagos) Kay k,coy dash, or the Attempt
err" that is. he is ready for anything: .Nah-mo-
min-e-koy-s shin, or the " Rice Maker" (Gov.
German ought to be opposed to him, Tor doubt
less his Excellency thinks there is too much of
Rice about already,) Shah-6ash-kung, or the
Dandy" and another called Pe-dud; which
is untranslatable.
Last, but not least, is Hole.in-the-day, the
principal Chief of the Mississippi bands of Chip
pewas. He arrived about week ago by the
stage route. His name during his fathers life
was simply KtOe-,oe-sayns, or " The Boys" but
now he is usually known as Hole-in. the-day
II, or Po-go-nay- ge-shik, more correctly rem
dered Hole-in-the-sky." His father wes a
very able Indian; and the son has inherited
considerable portion OF his sire's talents. He is
more conversant, likewise, with white peoples
ways, and understands English; though with
tt at shame-facedness common to all Indians be
will seldom speak it.

TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 10, 1855
Tie Foreign News.

In our columns this morning q will be found
'ccurate details Of the European news brought
by the Atlantic and Asia.
| 1t would seem from the tone of the manifesto
OF Alexander II upon assuming his position as
head of the Russian Empire, that he endorses
The national policy ofhis ilustrious father with
an energetic zeal and determined WILL The
Western Powers at last accounts were led to
believe they have gained nothing, so far OF
least as change in Russian policy is con-
cerned, by the death of the late Gear. What
they will gain by the change Of the n,atured
and thoroughly experienced mind of the old,
long tried statesman and soldier, who stood
opposed to them, to that of comparatively
young and consequently inexperienced ruler
time must determine The young Gear, how
ever, is spoken of as being man largely pos
sessed of his fathers talents and characteristics
generally ; and with the oil confidential advi-
scrs of Nicholas about him, it is not probable
the cause Of the Empire will suffer any mater-
al detriment through its change of rulers at
the present crisis. The orderly and quiet mar
ner with which the son stepped into the father s
place, and the enthusiasm with which the heart
of the nation hailed his advent to the throne
SO unlike the strormy scenes that surrounded
the father on the Gay of his assumption of the
scepter-is very fair guaranty that such will
be the result.
Kossuth's opinion is, that the war will 90 on
more vigorously on the part of Russia than
ever. He gives good reasons for his views, and
thinks further, that the day of peace is far dis
tant.
The tidngs Of the death of the greatest man
who has ruled the destinies of an European
State since the days of the elder Napoleon.
were received with marked decorum and due
respect by all the continental courts-even Of
France. The English, on the contrary, appear
ed to allow their feelings to get the better Of
their sense of propriety. AS far as we can see.
no extraordinary respect was paid to the mem
ory of the illustrous dead in Palace or Parlia-
ment. AT the opera house and theatres of
London, the event was announced on the eve
ming after its occurrence, from the stage, and
received by the audiences assembled, with the
clapping of hands, the waving of hats and
handkerchefs, accompanied by loud hazzas.-
The manager OF the opera stepped upon the
stage. and announced he was happy to i'm
part the information that the Gear was dead
Such acts are neither creditable to John Bulls
refinement of feeling, or his taste in matters of
decency and common courtesy. The English
papers excuse these bursts of over-feelng on
the ground that the people supposed the death
Of Nicholas would prove sure harbinger of
peace They intended no disrepect to the men,
ory Of the dead, say the papers.
The remainder of the news is not important
The Conference at Vienna has done nothing
definite towards concluding peace.
