NEW CALLED IN VIRGINIA.

A new coal.bed has recently boon discovered
in the vicinity of the South Fork Of Hughes
river in Richie county. From such xamina
tons as have been made. this bed is supposed
to be i~nexhaustable. This coal IS something
new and peculiar. The crystals are small and
fat and easily separated; the specimen which
we have seen is much softer than Anthracite
coal. and is found to be very rich in oil and
gas. This new coal is said to be the best yet
discovered for the use Of the steam engine
and especially for ocean steamers. A natural
spring Of Petroleum is found near the same
coal bed, in which it doubtless originates.
A large area Of the coal.6eld belongs to the
Commonwealth, having been forfeited thirty
years ago. Already the land spectators arc
entering on it The public spirited citizens OF
the vicinity are very anxious that this treasure
shall not be allowed to slip through the fingers
of the State.

Some might object to Inc last proposition
under the plea that it would be forming en-
tangling alliances. Bu' VAS not our treaty

Of transit over the Ramona Rail Road. an en-.
tangling alliance:
The Clayton Bulwer Treaty was a miserable
entangling alliance. In other words it has
proved exceedingly entanclins, without settling
or accomplishing anything useful whateTcr.
and ought to be abroggscd. But before Con,
gress %annuls it, let them authorize the Presi-
dent TO propose TO mect England. France and
Spain in Convention, al Washington, or else
where, and if we cannot IN that convention Sc
! cure the full recognition Of our rights on this
Continent, let US then prepare for war, and
maintain them at every hazard.
In the mean time, let " look to Our rceour-
ces in time. and endeayor to be prepared for any
event that may occur.
Let us exhaust all honorable efforts TO main.

~tilities.
Since writing tie foregoing, our attention
has been drawn to the following extract in the
Washington letter of the Journal of Commerce.
which shows that negotiations have been for
some time in progress with England, with
hopes Of a favorable termination. The letter is
dated December llth:
1.-The Executive Governea, had reason - cNpc::
that. ppcn the commencement of this session, ],
would 30 able 20 communicate 20 Congress irtOrng-
ton of the satisfactory adjustment o. tac long pend

America. Though that adjustment ias ucen delay

Of tho present, session, the negotiation now pending.
will, il is believed, result in an arrangement. based
upon our own Interpretation Of the Contra! American
Treaty. The interference o: Congress IN t;e niat;er
