PRNSyLvANIA Coal TRADE.-The, Potts
vile journal says the coal trade is very duh
and prices as low now as at any time within
the last.tcn years. 1t adds, however:
"Bnt we now put it on record that coal
cannot and never will be sold again. As A
BUSINESS, at less than present prices. II will
advance in price from 10 to 20 cents per ton
on board at the shipping points in July and
August, and from 10 to 20 cents more at these
points in October, if not sooner. These are
the promulgated ratcs-and all the companies
will adhere to thcm-cxcept so far as a further
advance is conccrncd-they will not BE- lowered
under any circumstances because if they
sell for less they are bound by their terms to
make a reduction on the whole supply for the
year. That will not be done this year"

UTAH. 1t appears that Governor for
the Mormon country has at last been
found in the person Of Col Cummings,
who is now Superintendent of Indian aft
airs in Utah.
From all appearances there is likely
to be warm work out there. Brigham
Young, SO far from having himself fed,
has driven away all who are not Nor
mons, including the officers Of the Cen
eral Government
If Gen. Harvey is sent out there
with only 1000 troops the probability is
they will drive him away in a rougher
manner valiant soldier as he is. How
shall that handful withstand C0,000
drilled Mormons land all the Rocky Noun
tain lnGiansa
All the Mormons Of all the Earth
seem to have been summoned in haste
to Utah. Ship loads are arriving from
Europc-foreigncrs who hate this coun-
try-these are hurrying ont; while from
all parts Of this country ianatieal recruits
are urging their way to that villainous
land. Over 500 passed by railroad
through here this week; $500 have star
ted thence from Chicago and many other
western towns have sent their hundreds
1t seems to us there is likely to be much
trouble there, and we would much rather
see ten thousand than two thousand of
an army under march to subject Brig
ham to the authority be has so dagrantly
set at defiance.

ELKTON, JUNE 6, 1857.
in our columns ref

Elsewhere in our columns refer
ence is made to the riot at the Washing
ton election on Moeday. The locofoco
press, as usual, charge the crime of it
upon the American party; the extracts
we give take different view of the mat
ter and, Judging from the experience OF
the past, We are inclined to look at it in
the same light.
We have had some experience in ot-
serving this pattern Notwithstanding
sainied democracy, which SO often is
found whining and smiling over the
wrongs perpetrated upon its innocence
by some rowdy or rascal Of the OPPOSE
ton. We have ourselves seen, even at
the polls in this county, many Of its
lan,b-like manifestations, and hence have
pretty good idea of the merits of its
complaints.
On every occasion of disturbance at
an election, 50 far as we remember, the
locofoco papers and the locofoco crowd,
with singular unanimity, charged the
sin upon-the Wings formerly, and now
upon the Americans; and almost as uni
versally, when the case came to be en-
ouired into, the facts showed that this
auiable democracy commenced the out
rage. We appeal to the memories Of
those Old line ,ohigs who are now acting
with their former enemies; and the read
ers of this paper, generally, will remem-
Der instances, from time to time, in near
Is, or quite, every district of the county.
And they will, as well, remember the
attempts to fix the blame Of the Bal:i-
more rows on the American party, when,
on the proof, it turned out that they
originated with the locofocos and their
foreign allies.
So it is that we incline to believe those
accounts of the riots az Washington,
which charge the origin Of it to locofo-
coism--an s'isln" which has been the
fruitful cause of more outrages, and riots,
and rowdyism at elections, tcntold, than
all other causes and accidents put to-
gether.
