NEW CoUNTERFEIT.-The new twenty
dollar counterfeit on the Bank of Ash
land, mentioned in a despatch to this
paper last week, has made its appearance
in this city. A bill Of this denomina-
ton On the Bank of Ashland was pre-
sentsd at the counter of the Crescent
City Bank last Friday and was pro-
nounced counterfeit. A good judge of
money can easily detect it, but by others
it will be readily taken. The signatures
of Hugh Means President, and E. w.
Martin, Cashier, are engraved, but we'll
done. The likeness of Clay, on the right
hand, and the railreai cars in motion. in
the center, are not well done. Its whole
appearance is too dark, and it is wide,
than the genuine.

A TokPEDo EXPLOSION IN CINCINNATI.
The Cincinnati papers cf Saturday con-
tain an account of an attempt made by
some unknown villain in that city, to
kill Mr.. Prior Lee. engineer Of the Gin
cinnati Type FoundrT. The torpedo,
manufactured from piece of gas pipe
eight inches in length. and an inch in
diameter, was found ty Mr.. Lee on the
floor of the engine room, when he came
to work Friday morning. He picked it
up to examine it, when it itexploded, tear
ing his hand to pieces and severely
wounding him in the abdomen. His
hand was afterwards amputated, and his
wounds dressed. Little hope is enter
tanned of his recovery. Who the author
Of the villainy was cannot be conjectur-
ed. The unfortunate man has wif'
and three children dependent upon hin
for support.

CANNELToN CoAL.-We learn that
Newcomb & Co., mined and sold
to steamers from their mines in Camel
ton, during the hast month, 153, 900 bush.
els Of coal, being an average Of 5000
bushels, or $3.50 worth, per day. The
rent paid to the American Camel Coal
Company on this quantity for the month,
was over $1.5O0. An acre of coal land
contains about 100000 bushels Of coal,
and in removing this quantity of coal less
than two acres were undermined. In
1885, this land was considered almost
worthless, and was entered at 81 20 per
acre. The proprietors are Iow deriving
a revenue equivalent to $1,000 per acre,
while the surface is uninjured by the
mining operations, and has risen in value
to $50 per acre. This is the result Of
sagacious investment made twenty-five
years ago. There are opportunities
around us-now unheeded-for the in
vestments ofcapital as advantageous al
most, as were the purchases Of the Amer
lean Coal Company in 1886. The intel
ligence and enterprise of Seth Hunt, who
had scarcely dollar Of his own, brought
all this valuable property into notice and
use. When he talked to the prudent
men Of that day of what would be the
value Of that property before the year
1860, he was pronounced visionary
and enthusiast; and the old man died
without having realized dollar from
the sources of wealth he had opened to
others. In his most extravagant calcu-
lations Of the revenue the mines would
yield, and the mechanical industry and
manufacturing capital they would at
tract around them, he never attained to
more than half the truth.
The people of Cannelton pursue pol
icy that ought to be adopted by our citi
zens. They give their freight and pat
ronage only to the boats who buy Goa
at Cannelton. This condition secures
large amount Of their sales. This cit,
contributes larger quantity Of freight t
steamers than any other city on tn
river, and if it's influence was turned il
favor of our coal mines, their sales nigh
be made to equal those Of the Canneltol
mines, and revenue Of $500 or $40
, per day would be added to the earning
Of the labor in the city, making an on
nual aggregate of S75o,OOO or $1,000
600. Our coal is as good for steam a
the Cannelton coal, and there is no rea
son why our sales should not be as larg
as theirs.

When she had gained point about
five miles from Ste. Genevieve, at 81
o'clock on Friday morning, flames were
discovered issuing from the watchman's
locker, by the engineer on watch, which
soon enveloped the whole boat. The fire
is supposed to have originated from the
accidental combustion of camphene,
which the watchman was using at the
time, probably in filling lamp. The
alarm was given, and the engineer i'm
mediately commenced uncoiling the hose
used for washing decks, &C., for the pur-

through the whole deck and engine room,
and were communicating to the freight

The boat was soon landed and line
made fast, but before the passengers es-
capped 1t parted and the boat drifted out
into the river. In this dilemma the
only chance left the passengers and crew
for escape was to jump overheard from

TERRE HAUTE, March 81, 1858.
Dear Journal:-Last night was the
time set for meeting Of the American
party, and such another outpouring OF
the masses has not been seen for years
some coming tie distance Of near forty
miles to hear Indiana's favorite states
man. Hon. RICHARD w. THOMPSON. Mr..
T. made one of his greatest efforts; in
deed, we think it was his master effort,
continuing for two hours and three quar-,
ters, during which time the very walls
of the Court House trembled with the
vociferous cheers that ever and anon
burst forth, as the orator proceeded
Resolutions were passed unanimously
condemning the Iecompton iniquity,
and renewing their fealty to our glorious
Union. Republicanism and Democrat'sp'
received such an assault that will never
be forgotten as Mr.. 7. entirely used them
up. and to-day some Of them de-
clared themselves Americans; indeed
the American party in this region is daily
increasing in numbers, the campfires ART
being lighted anew, and as its light
spreads political darkness disappears
which is sure indication that American
principles will eventually triumph.
1t will be seen by reference to the res
olutions, that Convention Of the Amer
leans Of Indiana is proposed to be helt
at Indianapolis in July next to take som,
action for the future. We sincerely hop,
that the Americans of Indiana wil
arouse and 60 to work in earnest, Their
is nothing gained by remaining dormant
and lending aid and assistance to ou
common foes; it but urges them on wit
more tenacity. The American party
not dead but liveth, and if we but pusl
on. victory will eventually perch upo
our noble banner. Let US then strik
for our affairs and our fires.
Yours, PRAIRIE CITY.
