New Discovery OF Coal NEAR la SALLE.--
We learn that the vein OF coal recently dis
covered near La Sale. of which we gave
some account yesterday, is near the lands
Of the Little Rock Mining Company. on the
south side Of the Illinois River. The vein
is seven feet thick at the extreme outcrop,
and those experienced in such matters think
that it will show eight fee; of workable coal
when under good cover on the above Com
pany's lands. 1t lies about sixty feet below
the upper vein. y friend writes us respect
ing its quality as follows: g Its quality is
superior 20 any yet discovered, resembling
the old Briar Hill Coal OF Ohio IN ITS irac
,ure. and j. entirely free from sulphur and
infiltra,:ons of lime. 1t promises 10 be a
coal that will bear transportation well, and
surpasses all other coal for blacksrnithing,
locomotive and gas purposes, in fac: all pur-
poses for which coal is used. We may re-
gard :. as an introduction of a new era in
the coal business of La Sale, as ] under
stand arrangements will soon he made to
meet any competition that may present it
self in the market Of Chicago and the north
vest Chi. Press

PIous PROM A SENSE OF DurY.-There are
great many incentives to piety fully as
strong as grog. On board the steamship
Cunard the church service is read every
Sunday morning. The muster roll of the
crew is called to attend divine service.
A gentleman one day said to one of the
sailors:
"Are you obliged to attend the public
service? ?"
"No-oo, not exactly obliged, We know,
sir; but We should loose our grog If We did
not"

CHAPLAIN OF THE ILIiSoIs CENTRAL RAIL
RoAp.-Thcre was something said few
months ago about the appointment Of a
chaplain on the Illinois Central Railroad,
but ever, body thinks it a hoax. 1t seems,
however. that there is really such an Office,
faithfully filled by the Rev. j. W. Osborn
At recent ministerial meeting ne gave a
sketch Of the results Of his labors along
that line Of road. Schools have been esta-
blished at all the stations. and are in a flour
ishing condition, and the means Of much
good. Bible classes arc large and numerous
Seine Of the children walk several miles to
the schools. So far as the road is conccrn-
ed, il is a wise business operation by which
the prosperity Of the settlements along the
road is advanced, and the lands Of the COM
pany rendered moro attractive to the mos,
desirable class Of settlers.

MORE CAMELs.-A project is on foot to
introduce q large number of camels into
Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, at private
venture. Lieut.. Beale's experiment with
these animals in constructing his wagon
road has proved their superiority over mules,
which are now used mainly for the trans.
portation of passengers and merchandise
across the sterile plains toward California.
At no distant day caravans are looked to be
established between the mines Of Tubac and
San Diego, on the Pacific, and between 9th.

RENARKABLE IF TRuE-The New York
Economist has an article on 1" Commercial
Soundness,' which, sustained it is by tables
apparently reasonable and rclia BILE, it is a
curious commentary on the extravagant
statements and suggestions that have exis-
ted with regard to that subject. The con-
clusion Of the paper is, that the late panic,
instead of general bankruptcy, has only re-
suited in the loss Of about two per cent. on
the average amount Of mercantile business
transacted in the country. II says:
Thus far. there has been every indca-
ton that the losses will be even less than
the above estimate. What is called over
tradi. generally does not appear TO have
existed; that IS 10 say, although the con-
sumption of merchandise has been large,
and corresponding activity of trade very
great, the production OF equivalents has been
equally great. The farmers, who are the
chief consumers OF manufactures, have pro
duced more than an equivalent Of raw pro-
ducts, and prices fall heavily, with good sup
Plies. Specie, both gold and silver, were
never more abundant than now the banks
are quite oyercharsed with it, and many
tender silver in preference to paying out
small bills, when the latter are asked for
All the fears that were expressed in relation
TO premature resumption turn out to have
been idle and groundless, and credit slowly
REEVES from a disgraceful panic"

STORY OF THE GRAssHopPER MIGRATION
Among other speculations in some of the
4 s1o Of thA
grasshoppers in this territory, the idea is
shadowed forth in the New York Evening
Post, tina, this grasshopper, or this species
OF the insect, is native OF Utah and Mi ne
sota-and thus allow the inference to be ar
obetacele the to settlement Of such country.
This brought out COMMUNICATION fiom
Minnesota Resident in the section Of coun-
try on the Upper Mississippi, where the de-
structon was greatest the two past seasons.
The writer advancts the theory that this
species # the grasshopper migrates from
West to East annually, and sustains this
theory from the aledged fact, that the in
sect left the Pacific shore some five years
| ago, and left Utah and the valleys near the
| sou ces Of the Missouri River, three years
ago. He believes they viii continue their
| annual migration till they reach the Atlantic
States Their habit has been TO fly from
two to five hundred miles each season, de-
stroying a large part Of the crops of the sea
son in which they light down, deposit their
eggs, and the following spring hatch and ma
use about the middle or last OF July, destroy
ne nearly all the crops Of the season before
! they fly East.
