This is one of the most eloquent and
instructive pages. of history ever written
bright with the record of honest labor
and gigantic enterprise, and their reward.
The most significant of all the facts
contained in the foregoing figures, is the
ran;Il.- -------.--
yearly amounts increase, and the prophe-
cies of the future which they contain.
During the last three years as much Coal
was produced as in the first &c years; and
with the same ratio of increase, what ANA
zing results will be witnessed in less than
30 years from the present time
The elements Of England's greatness
arc to be found in the Coal and Iron
which God has given to her, and in her
ability to use them, as well as his other
gifts, to good purpose. But Great Brit
ain, with an area of Coal deposits amount
ing to only 1859 square miles, and a
population of about 30,000,000, raises
now 66, 6,64O, 4oV tons. Then, why shal.
not the United States with her 1873, l32
square miles of Coal, produce within the
next 20 years an equal amount, when We
have at the present time population Of
10000, 200, and in the next 20 years
will have at least 50,000,000? Why
will no. the same elements make us great

1t is evident that protective tariff is
needed, in order to enable America to
compete fairly with the wealth and the
other superior advantages which England
has over her in the coal business. Her
years and her money are too much for
our youth, our inexperience, and our
comparative poverty.

A Trip to Amador

After an absence of four or FIVE DAYS at
jackson, the county seat of Amador. where
we were called to attend the Court of that
county, we have again returned to our edito-
rial chair.
Amador is very dourishing county, and
Its county seat is one Of the most lively aud
prosperous towns in the State. When we
heard of the amount of gold the miners are
taking out in every portion of the county
we could not help asking ourselves why SO
many were going to Frazer river. When
men can meke Sl0 Sl5 and $25 per day. we
n'timaglne why they should seek for better
diggings. We hope they may find them;
but we very much fear they will not.
The town Of Jackson is situated in small
valley, and is surrounded with high and ro-
mautic hills; several good, substantial brick
houses have already been built, aud more will
be erected during the summer. From the
life and hustle Of the town, we should iudg
the business Of the place was in good aud
healthy condition The people are contented
aud a more whoIe-soued aud hospitable set it
has never been our good fortune to meet, and
for the many acts OF courtesy and kindness
extended to us, and the many fattering com
pliments paid to our paper, We are under
everlasting obligations To our cotempora-
ry, Springer, of the Ledger, we are under
particular obligations The Ledger is one Of
the abest and parcSt Democratic papers n
the State, and we were right glad to find it
so well patronized. Above all things, we
were particularly gratifed to learn that the
true Democracy had no opposition in that
county and Caayeras Indeed, the opposi-
ton to our party is "caving in" so rapidly all
over the State that we feel some little alarm.
for we cannot survive unless we have some
thing to contend against.
We stopped at the Q ranch on our return
home. 1t is situated in lone valley, which
is by far the richest body Of land we have
seen in the State There are growing now
on the Q ranch 100 acres Of as fine looking
corn as we ever saw on the richest Missouri
bottoms. We are indebted to Maj. Barbours
kindness and hospitality, and for his atten-
ton. lie took much trouble to show us
through his orchard and vineyard. He has
a most splendid selection Of apple, pear, nee
tarlne and plum trees, and vineyard, which
is perfectly loaded down with the most ele-
CANT grapes. The orchard contains altogeth-
or about % acres, and the Major expects to
realize from its present crop the handsome
sum Of $25,00O. This valley contains about
1000 acres, and is capable OF producing all
sorts of grain and fruits in the greatest abun-
dance Sacramento Mercury June 26M.
1t is gratifying to know that our friend
Mr. Lone was pleased with his soourn in
Amador, and we hope that he may have
business to call him or make it convenient to
visit us frequently.
