Texas CoAL.-We have occasionally
noticed the fact that we have abundance OF
good coal in Texas, but we have, not had
reliable evidence to place before our, read,
ers. We are now indebted 10 Mr.. Tyson,
Of Port Sullivan, for more satisfactory in.
formation on this important subject. Mr..
Tyson has just arrived, in, this city, and
and has show ed US sample Of coal from
the banks of the Brazos river, in Milan
county, (which be says the supply is in.
exhaustable- this sample more resem.
bles anthracite coal than any other kind.
It is a jet black, quite hard, and presents
. smooth and CLASSY surface where it
breaks. Mr.. Tyson considers i superior
to any, other coal for generating steam.
It burns very readily, but with less smoke
than the Pittsburg or bituminous coal. !;
8. The bed from which this sample was
taken; is about eight miles above Port Sui
Ivan, and extends up and down the river
about half . mile on each side. the river
running through the strata. Mr.. Tyson,
is well satisfied that this coal. may be
brought to our coast very probably, to be
used ,as fuel for OUT steamers and other
purposes whenever the Brazos river affords
navigation 20 that point. q So well convin-
ced was he Of this thst he loaded . fatboat
in May last, with ths. coal, for the purpose
|ofcommsnciag the trade, but the river fell
before he was able to start, and has been
unusually low ever since until very recnt-
ly.s This bed Of coal lies from five to ten
feet below the surface ofthe earth, and the
s.raium Of good coal is, about five feet in

The TEREDo OR SHIP WoRM.-The
United States Nautical Magazine publishes
a paper read before the National Institute,
at Washington, by James Jarvis, ESQ,
who has been engaged since ls49 in a
series Of experiments concerning the
teredo or ship worm, by order Of Commo.
dore Smith, chief Of the Bureau Of Yards
and Docks. In order to ascertain the hes,
composition for resisting the attacks ofthe
leredo upon wood, he painted number ol
blocks and boxes with various compounds
Some he left unprepared, and some part
Iy painted-and sunk them in Elizabeth
river in the month of April. "About the
18th Of June the blocks and boxes were
generally lifted and examined, but he
never was able to discover any Of the ami
malculR young teredo) until about the
Goth Of June. At this period Of the year
he generally discovered minute holes in
the wood BY the use Of a magnifying glass
Afler this, the creature daily grows ahead,
for It has no power Of locomotion it grows
like an oyster, and has calcareous or
shelly sheathing, which adheres to the
surface Of its b,uow. "29.'ilR .F'i"
In Norfolk harbor, Virginia, they grow
from six to twelve inches in length, and
from three-eighths to half an inch in d.
ameter. The wood excavated by one
twelve inches long, in season, amounted
to more than cubic inch, il ia solid
piece. No signs Of the teredo were dis
covered by him in wood deposited after.
Mr.. Jarvis supposes that the teredo com,
mence. to develops about the 1st Of July,
and continues until cold weather arrives /;
in Charleston, s. c., and further South,
they develope during the whole year,
whereas in the colder blasts, such as in the
harbors Of New England, they do but little
injury, because the worm is feeble there,
being like fine thread it is believed to
be ! native Of the torrid seas. The teredo
Is not so destructive on piles sunk under
water at New York city docks Is those on
the opposite side Of the river, on the Jersey
and Long Island shores this is owing.
Mr.. Jarvis thinks, to the amount Of 6lth
carried down in the city severe. So
much for the good Offices of dirt. In
Boston and Portmouth, N. H., harbor
piles viii stand twenty five years. One
open nail hole il = sheet Of copper upon =
vessels bottom, will allow tho worm
access to pursue its work Of destruction.
All kinds Of wood used in shipbuilding are
attacked BY IT, To secure the bottoms d
ships from the salt water worm, aud from
coral deposits, Mr.. Jarvis recommends
putting three coats Of white zinc paint on
the dry bottom Of tho vessel then copper
them s and TO- make, the, whole invulne-
rable, put three more coats of'white, zinc
paint upon the onler surface Of the copper.
To preserve piles. drive, them with the
bark on.7 There is no danger while the
bark remains. The, barnacls on piles
does no injury. Charriug Is excellent,
provided The issures are well filled with
hot coal tar Or zinc paint which will be
found excellent to keep the shell fish from
the wood where piles may have the bark
broken of before being driven. d,ss

IMPORTANT TO PosrMAsrERs.-The Washing
ton Tnion says Our attention has been call
ed to the fact that some postmaSters are in the
habit of sending back to the mailing Office let
ters reaching them for delivery, because they
were not prepaid by stamps, but by money
This is wrong, and arises from a misamrehen-
sion of the law. In no case, indeed, should q
letter, after it has reached the Office of delivery
be returned for postage, much less should it be
returned because the postage was not paid by
stamps. 1t is the general duty of postmasters
to see that letters are prepaid by stamps, but
when (having been prepaid in cash, either
through ignorance of the law, or inadvertencc,
or want of stamps on the part of the mailing
postmaster they reach their destination, it is
the duty of the postmaster to deliver them the
same as though pre- paid by stamps.
1t will necessarily happen, in the introduc-
ton of the stamp-prepayment system, that sup
plies of stamps will fail to reach some of the
small and remote Offices at the proper time,
and it would be doing violence to the citizens
of those localities to return, and thus delay
their correspondence, because of o circum-
stance SO unavoidable. Entertaining this view
of the subject, the department has instructed
postmasters, not having stamps, to forward
letters as heretofore when prepaid by money.
If an unpaid letter, from any cause, gets into
the mail and reaches its destination, it should
be delivered on payment of postage at prepaid
rates.
