The Richmond Wing attempts to
trace the late insurrectionary move
ments TO the issues madcby the Dem

vass. Instead Of attributing these
unsuccessful efforts at revolt TO the
poisonous influence Of abolition jour

simple fact that suchaa man as Ere

palpable Issue OF arresting the pro,

chooses to stigmatize The Democratic

seems, he has been so arsuccessful as to
have deceived the Washington correspon-

midnight associates merely because they
Scan probably be of no further service TO

again being a candidate. He knows that
III he did run he would be defeated, and
like GINNING gamester, he will make no
risks with the chances against him. His
present official term closes his public ca
reer, Mt least in. this country. and we wish
him a safe coneealment in the shades OF
an obliyious retirement.

tIeeman informs us that at Washington, this
letter Of Mr.. Garlic is considered one of
those receptions so Characteristic Of his
party. That the object Of it's TO tempt
some Democrat to become candidate
against our regular nominee, and thus
create 4 division in our ranks that will
enable him TO slip in between the two fires.

WASHINGTON, Jan. It'll. The Pres.

in reply to resolution, a letter from
| the New York, Newfoundland and
| London Telegraph Co., in which the
President is informed that contracts
have been made for the manufacture
Of submarine cables to connect the
continents Of Europe and America,
and it is expected to have the line be-
tween New York and London open
for business on the 18th Of. judy next.
The Company will enter into a con,
tract with the Government of the
United States I'm the same terms as
with the British Government.
Such contracts they suppose will
fall within the provisions Of the Con-
stitntion ip<fegard to postal arrange
mcnts. ofwhich this is only new
and improved form. 80
Her Maiesty's Government engage
to furnish aid by ships to lay the ca
bic, and it is suggested that our re-
Gently finished war steamers, are the
very best to assist i'll this business.
To avoid failure in laying the cable,
the Company request the President
to make such, recommendations to
Congress as will secure this end.
The President makes no recon-
mendation, but merely submits the
above and the proposition of the
Lords Commissioners. 49,, IA

| We have frequently called public
attention to the immense coal seams
which line the Konawha river for
very many miles, and which will, sat
| no distant day, yield untold wealth to
those who are SO fortunate rs to. be
their owners. The quality ofthe coal
! il, the very best-varying froman ex-
ccllent .'Splent,' lsimilar to the eel
febrated Scotch "Splent, y to the best
Cannel coal, and the quantity is OF
unreasonable extent.
There are no such deposits Of coal
whether we consider the width of
seams or the excellence Of quantity
anywhere in the great Ohio Valley.
The coal seams OF the mines Of Pitts
burg. do not exceed four feet; yet the
coal lands sell there at $500 tc 81 900
per acre. The seams on the kanaw-
ha are numerous, amountingto thirty
different veins in the hill thanking the
river, and one Of those veins is eleven
feet in thickness; yet the coal lands
I here sell at less than ouf farming lands
in Eastern Virginia. The veins run
horizontally into the hills. and from
| that troublesome ehemy ofthe miner,
acates, and from that more dangerous
one, the explosive gases which ilifest
the mines that are far underground.
| Z Why is IT. tho reader will ask, that
these mines have not been successful
IL workedR The answer is, that the
navigation Of tile Kanawha is SO OBJ
structed that the coal cannot be trans
ported by the Ohio. A scheme for
its improvement passed the Legisla-
ture, and this t Is hoped will in q
short timebe carried outand the mines
,be put in active operation.
The dcmandior the coal from the
Kanawha mines will always be equal
Ito the supply. Ii is preferable to any
other and must command a reader
sale ut better prices. Besides, the re-
cent discovery by which from Camel
coal q, valuable oil is manufactured,
opens a new source Of demand and
profit to the miners. The vast expor-
tation from p ittsburg in 1858 furnish
PES some idea Of the demand for coal
ON the Ohio. It reached the amount
of S6, los, 92t bushels.
