FANNINs BArrLE-G RoUND.-We recently passed
the battle ground where The brave Fannin and his
valiant men fearlessly fought their treacherous
ana overpowering foes. AS we approached within
a few hundred yards of the spot observed pile
of something which at first supposed to be the
cargo of some broken down wagon But
ing the place. We were surprised 10 find loose pile
of stone about six feet high. There rocks
nearer the spot than Menahua, distance OF about
seven miles, and of course this little pile hat
marks that place of sad memory, must have been
taken from there.
The pile stands in the centre of the entrenchment,
roughly put up without mortar We know not nor
is 1t known here, who placed it there; but whoever
he is, he has exhibited a noblencss of nature and
national pride that abdes only in the bosom of the
generous and patriotic, and has set example to
Texans that should remind them Of their duty. A
monument should be built there to mark the place
where that brave but i'll fated band SO dauntlessy
fought in defence Of liberty.
Nothing can be more truly national, patriotic and
noble than the erection of this little pile, silently
done-no show-no boasting-a still and silent act,
prompted by generous love Of true valor to mark
the spot where his unfortunate countrymcn so
iiantly fought against such fearful odds.
1t is to be hoped that this testimonial of national
pride will awaken Texans to a solemn duty too long
neglected.

New DISCOVERIES IN THE Coal REGIoN.-We learn
from friend DR.. Charles Chalmers, that the out
crop of Coal has been discovered miles North
of West from Carthage. 1t is highly bitumnous,
and the fire clay accompanies it. The sand stone
and fossils the same Deep River. This
point is about or miles west of Fooshee's which
is the point at which any actual discovery
of coal has heretofore been made The extent of the
coal region. therefore, which Emmons lays down as
certain for about 80 miles, is thus shown to be
about 80 miles, with the probability, as he says Of
its extending to the Pee Dee River. Professor John
son, who travelled that country, expresses the
opinion that it extends to the Montgomery line.
We received some weeks ago from Chalmers, sew
eral samples Of vegetable fossils discovered by him
ia the course of days labor in the woods some 8
or miles South East Of the line of oucrop Of
the coal. One of these specimens has considera-
bic resemblance to the fern leaves If which Profess
sor Emmons gives plate in his late Report. 9th
evidently shells and petrificd twgs of trees
1t quite probable, from all the indications, that
here may be found the South Eastern outcrop of the
Coal basin. Professor Emmons will doubtless give
his attention to it on his next visit. Fay. Obs.
