VERY IMPORTANT CAsE-The public do not
seem to be aware that one of the most important
cases ever brought up for adjudication by the Su-
preme Court is now being tried before that august
tribunal, No. 81, Drea Scott plaintiff in an error e.
John F. A. Sanford. Mr.. Montgomery Blair for the
plaintiff in error, and the Hon. Messrs Geyer, and
Revcrdy johnson for the defendant in error. Tho
points particularly in issue are, first the right of
citizens of slaveholdng States to carry their slaves
into non-slaveholdng States, for temporary So
iourn there out of the loss Of their right of proper
ty in such slaves and next the constutionality Of
the Missouri compromise, as involved in the ques-
ton of right of Congress to legsate with reference
to the slavery in the United States Territories.

MORE CoAL-We learn that the Egypt Company,
in prosecuting their works, passed through II feet
of slate, below the A feet seam of Coal heretofore
mentioned, and then came to another seam of Coal,
20 inches thick, making in all feet inches of
Coal
We learn further, from a reliable source, that the
manchinery OF the Company can bring to the surface
a ton of coal a minute. Such was its operation
whilst gentleman timed it by his watch.
Before the sinking of the shaft, the company, had
ascertained by the auger that there is another seam
of the coal about 20 feet below these two which
already opened and that it is at least six feet thick
So that the Companys land, (and doubtless vast
extent besides has than twelve fee: of coal at
a depth of only 400 to 450 feet below the surface.
Wecongratulate every friend of North Carolina
on the facts disclosed within the last two or three
weeks We have mine of wealth inexhaustibe,
capable of making this part of the State-indeed the
the whole State-what Pennsylvania is; for she has
rushed forward in the Of prosperity-of pop.
uation and wealth,-in consequence of her coal and
iron We have both, of the best quality and in ex-
haustless quantity within 40 miles of this town, Of
navigahle water, and within l40 miles of the ocean,
A lively feeling of satisfaction has been produced
here by the discoveries. We did not previously
doubt that our rail road to the Coal Fields would be
built But it was hard struggle. Now we think
the way is cleared of much Of the difficulty. The
work will be done more easily and more speedily.

possible description of the social political and COM

asserting that the inhabitants are fast retrograding
into African barbarisnl. A contemporary fortifies
the letter by showing the decline in Haytien exports
in sugar, coffee and cotton since 1889, when the is
land was French dependency. Some of these
statistics we quote. For example, while the export
of sugar, in 1889, 90, 573, 900 lbs in 1850
it had totally ceased. The export of coffee had
falen in the same period, from rs 1856 219 lbs, to

free, had terminated fifty years ago. In like man
ner indigo and tobacco, which had formerly been

appeared on the list of exports. In short while
the exports of the island, as colony, had risen
high as two hundred and five millions of francs
they had been gradually falling since Haytien indie.

been accumulated. We are now told that he has
been endorsing, deeper and deeper, for great
Clock making establishment at Bridgeport, CT, and
that the concern has failed, leaving scarcely the
shadow of assets to meet its liabilities Of half mil
lion of dollars. The whole falls on Mr.. Barnum
who is thus made the victim Of q trade somewhat
sharper than his own, and among the people around
his own birth-pl is proved to be by means the

capable.
As for Barnum, nobody need spend sigh on him.

Thus we have the sum of $41O,95O
contained in the present estimate which was not in
tended to be estimated for in the first.
The extraordinary rise in the price of iron since
the first estimate, could only have been seen with
prophetic eye. Of the twenty three thousand tons
bought for this Road, 5000 tons were purchased
before the RISE and 900 tons SINCE at an enhanced
price of at least $22 per ton, making the cost for
iron at least $s9e, 900 more than was anticipated
Add this sum to the foregoing sum of $410 $50, and
we have the sum of $500, $50, which being deduct
ed from the present estimate 2S5, $780, leaves g.
42S $780, Deduct from this the first estimate of S.

crepancy as to the cost of the Roadway, between
the first estimate made before the first shovel of
earth was removed, and the second estimate now
made, when most of the work Is executed. And
here let it be remarked the price Of labor and pro-
visions have nearly doubled since the irst estimate
was made"

that change was made in the location near High
Point after the publication of the estimate, which
involved on expenditure OF $4,000, compensated
