New DISCOVERIES IN the Coal REoIoN.--
We learn from our friend DIR. Charles Chal-
mers. that the out-crop of Coal has been dis
covered seven miles North of West from
Carthage. II is highly bitominous, and the
fire clay accompanies il. The sand stone
aud fossils are the same as on Deep River.
This point is about z or miles west OF Foo.
shee's. which is the extreme point at which
any actual discovery Of coal has here tofore
been made: The extent Of the coal region.
therefore, which Emmons LAYS down as GER
tain for about so miles, is thus shown TO be
about So miles. with the probability, as he
says. of its extending 10 the Pee Dee river.
Professor Johnson, who travelled over that
country. expresses the opinion that il extends
TO the Montgomery line.
We received sope weeks ago from DR..
Chalmers. several samples ofvegetable fossils
discovered BY him in the course Of a DAYS
labor in the woods some or 9 miles South
East Of the line Of outcrop Of the coal. One
Of these specimens HIS considerable resem.
blance TO the fern leaves of which Professor
Emmons gives plate in his late Report.
Others are evidently shells and petrified
twigs ~ trees. q . qoi,e probable. from all
the indications. that herr may be found the
suuth Eastern outcrop 81 The Coal basin.
Professor Emmons will doubtless give his
attention to Il Ga his neat visit.
