The Coal Region.

MINING NEws--The work on the various
new openings ofmines, in the Frostburg Coal
region, along the Georges Greek Valley, and
within reaching distance Of the Cumber-
land and Pennsylvania Railroad, is progress
ing rapidly towards com pletion. The Miller
Annapolis, the Midland and other new COM
panies expect to be in readiness to ship the
products Of their valuable oollieries, now In
process of development, to market in the ear
ly spring. All the necessary fixtures and
appliances for this purpose are in q forward
state of completion. They will give 40 ad-
ditiopal impetus 20 the coal trade.
CANAL.--A total suspension OF Canal
navigation occurred on Friday last, owing
to the breaking of one Of the gates, at the
three locks, eight miles below this city, on
Thursday night last Energetic measures
we're at once adopted to expedite the repairs
by Mr.. Lowe, Superintendent of the Cum
berland division, and by Monday navigation
was restored. A large number of boats were
concentrated at that point, but they have
gone on their way rejoicing. This accident
has somewhat curtai!ed the Coal Shipments
by this channel for the week. 10 all other
particulars the Canal appears to bein good
state of repair.
Mr.. SAVAGE ROLLING MILLs.--This extern
sive establishment still continues in active
operation, turning out vast number OF
Railroad bars daily. They are of superior
quality, said to be unequalled for toughness
and durability by any other iron of either
foreign or domestic manufacture.
If Railroad companies, now sending to
Europe for supplies of iron we're to purchase
here, they would act far more wisely. as the
latter has been proven to be far more econom-
cal 10 the end The old adage seems to be
true that, I'VE never learn wisdom but by
experience" - umG. Cir.

A VENERABLE PAIR.-We saw, the other day,
at Bates Ranch, an old Indian and his squaw,
who said they had seen seventy SHOWS. The man
is tall unbent and patrarchal looking, and he
seemed to look on bis venerable spouse with more
respect and affection than is usually betrayed by
Indians. They were going to funeral the man
carried frebrand, bow and arrows, and the wo-
man the inevitable travelling basket with the
family valuables. Both made speeches historical
Of their nations ancient prosperity and power !;
but now, said the old man, the whites have
come and our people must go OUT The patri-
arch's speech was grave, oratorical like, and ac-
compaDied by impressive and forcible gestures.
A gentleman, acquainted with the Indian jargon,
told us that it was uncommonly forcble, for Dig
ger eloquence In places of extraordinary in
terest the old woman would put in to assist her
husband in the clearer expression of his ideas !;
talking with great volubility and spirit, just as
the old grand-dame in civilization comes to the
relief Of her companion when the paraly ysis of age

ABOUT A CHILD Who READ A YELLOW Co,on
ED PUBLICATION years ago we knew
beautiful little girl, who was residing with bo,
parents in San Francisco. She was then thirtesn
years of age-with a face fresh, bright and npro
as the budding rosa form graceful, and nsiinc
with innocent life-hair luxurant, and golden ~
the sunlight Little Mary was beloved by ,T
who knew her--the sweetest flower in the thriyina
nursery of Mr.. and Mrs -. Every facility -
education was afforded her, and she dsplayed
extraordinary capacity. No touch upon the nj.
ano sounded so delicate as hers no voice IN
pleasant in the simple melodies in which she de
lighted; and no expression seemed so sweet a.
hers when she looked up trustingly and confdipp.
ly in our face, and smiled or wept as we told her
stories of good works accomplished and terrib.
sufferings endured by brave and good people
Well, we loved little Mary but one day her h
ther failed, and she was taken away, and Nc
heard no more of her during four years-thougi
we often thought of the child, and wondered
whether we should ever know her again as We
used to know her. The other evening we heard
of ber. We were sitting in our room, and b,
chance thinking of the little girl, when nOte
was brought to us-a note directed in O light
trembling hand, as though the writer was under
the influence of some strong emotion or settled
misery. We opened it; it was blotted with tears
and the scrawl was irregular and almost illegbe
follows:
My DEAR FRIEND.--I may call you dear, yet
though am lost and sunken, now. Lost and
sunken-d -degraded-Ob Stretched on a bed
from which feel / shall never rise again. OH
my dear, dear friend, You used to love little Ma.
ry when her eye was bright and her face fair;
you will not desert her now, though she Is with.
cred and worn-brought down very low by dis
honor and shame. Come to n1e--the bearer will
accompany you. Prepare to be shLcked-I can't
write any more. MARY -.
On that Monday night we went to wretchel
room on one of the streets of San Francisco, and
there we found little Mary--hew altered, how
penitent, cannot tell; that and the story sht
told us, must remain a secret to all but one whC
is in another land. But this we must say, in
tone of solemn warning to hundreds of dca
children and loving parents-that her ruin wa
brought about by one yelow-colored publication
This she sad-this she charged us to proclaim
She is buried now G0lden Era.

WEAVE VILE:
SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 3, 1858

HARD HANDS, AND BRAINS ACUTE--We are /
pleased with the Golden Era's remarks on the
Intelligence of California Labor We might
look, in vain, in any other part of the world for
intelligence among working people equal to that
existing here, where side by side with the unlet-
tered, the man of refinement and education plies
the pick and shovel with an arm snewy and
strong, Looking among the busy crowd with
their grey shirts, clouched hats and unshaven
faces, the visitor would hardly imagine that en-
lghtenment from celebrated institutions of learn
ing is hidden under SO rough externals. In its
development, California has the advantage of
continual immigration of the enterprising and
strong hearted from EeasterH States, and Of the
active minded and freedom-lovin of the old
world. They have come to build up fortunes, in
spite of perverse distiny. In intellectual vigor
this conglomerate people have no superiors, and
the man who talks of the Ignorant miners Of
California, has never been among them, or is a
fool
In mechanism and invention our State has
made unexampled progress specimens of the
finest workmanship are in jewellers and
mechanics shops, from the elegantly wrought FL
igree to the ponderous steam engine, and litcra-
ture and painting have become the pursuits Of
persons who were numbered with rougher work
men, and who, failing in more refined pursuits,
return again to the gold mines. Genius and tai
ent are erratic, discontented and adventurous !;
they may be, for time, the servants of inferior
minds mnistering to baser natures, circum-
vented by the designing, and embarrassed by i'm
providence, until becoming impatient of human
companonship, they seek adventure on the out
skirts of civilization. And here the quck-think-
ing nomads of the abor-feld and work shops of
the world, are collected, and are in fierce strife
over the buried treasures, which once possessed,
are to give them power, and force the world to
recognise their identity.
Enlightenment in farming communities in the
valley, is bad criterion by which to form an
estimate Of California intelligence The settlers
are different people they have not the same
adventurous and explosive minds, nor the same
independence of existence. They have no place
where they are secure from the androbber, no
place where perjury and fraud may not unroof
their cabins and pointing to the opening among
the trees say there lies your way He has no
security, certain tenure of his home, and but
slight protection the ight of his own arm
Under circumstances like these, he has no heart
to work, no ambition to improve his lands, and
but little disposition or ability to improve his |
own intellectual being or that Of his Children
Not SO with the mining people independent and
sure of their limited possessions, their leisure
hours are devoted to restless, exploring thought;
and as community of mind, they are capable of
comprehending the sublimest reason of meta
physician, or the highest refinement Of our liter
ature.

MAY THEY NOT FAIL Certain publishers
threaten to precipitate on u.s. from the Atlantic
side, nay even from Europe, whole cohorts Of
distinguished newspaper writer's. May they not
fail to interest this peculiar people Success does
not always follow experience here, and laurels
transplanted sometimes wither and fall about the
brow in corroding dust. We have known prac-
titoners in law and medicine, expounders of the
scriptures, and dabblers in literature, who, com
ing here with distinction achieved in their native
villages, fell into the great whirlpool and were
put out. Each believed that bis appearance in
the uncultivated West weuld be like the sudden
unveiling of a brilliant planet. But it was de-
lasion. None put their hands to their eyes, pain
ed by the unwonted radiance.
In the world of the universe some stars that
for ages sparkled in the brow of night, have fol-
lowed their recedng orbits until they have been
lost in regions of space unexplored save by the
reaching vision OF Deity, while from c.agd-ce
a nameless light appears burning with a sudden
intensity, and Frightening as it goes, until cross
ing the range of the astronomers lens it is named
and assigned place in a constellation.

THE Union Democrat says we have put it on the
wrong side of the Lecompton matter. We copied
the classification from the Yreka Jnion-authOr-
ity which we never learned to question. We had
not read the political articles in the Democrat,
and regret the mistake which gives our cotem-
porary annoyance. He, however, talks very alb
surdy in supposing that we had political pur-
pose to subserve the Democrats course, as well
as that of the entire press is, to us, matter of
profound indifference. We have carefully avoid
ed discussing this subject, or any political one,
but if the Democrat, or any one else, desires to
fish for politics in the JOURNAL, it is of no conse-
gueDce to us what he may catch.
