VALUABLE COAL DIscovRRY.-Another Coal
mine has recently been discovered near lone City,
in Amador county. The Calaveras Chronicle says
that the stratum is thirteen feet thick, and equal in
hardness and quality to the Peacock coal Of Penn
sylvania. Several tons have been tested and found
to be good and cheap substitute for wood, and fit
to be used for making steam. 1t burns beautifully,
with brilliant fame, and leaves but little ashes.
1t is thought thicker stratum of more bituminous
quality, can be found by sinking deep enough.

must proceed a step further and obtain
the consent of the powerful naval ma
lions, that merchant vessels shall not
be bloekaded in port, bnt be suffered
to pass the blOekading squadron and GO
out to sea. If these should remain
