Washington Speculations

The Washington correspondents discuss tie
probability Of impeding changes and coalitions
in regard to the contest for the Speakershp. The
Herads correspondent writes:
Tho Americans will not attempt to concentrate
their votes upon any Democrat until Mr. CLARK, Of
Mo, withdraws his resolution. and the compro-
mise one is substituted for il and Mr.. Gilmer's-

Whenever the obstacles 10 a coalition between
the Democrats and South A americans are apparent
ly removed, the candidate will be required to an-
swer certain interrogations before receiving se,e

Virginia Enterprise-Granitc GuErriesH wear
Richmond.

On Friday evening last, in company with
several gentlemen, we visited the granite quar-
ry Of II. l.. Gallahcr, Esq, about four miles
above this city, and Immediately on the canal.
We had formed TO just conception of the CHAR
ac,er of this quarry till wc visited ii. There
is probably no place in this Union where stone
of superior quality can be obtained. Mr.. Gal
laher, who, by the way, is one Of the most en-
rcrpriSing men in the State, has purchased ~
acres Of James River bluffs, MI formed o! solid
granite, and is now furnishing the hewn stone
fer Fort Calhoun, in the mouth Of Chesapeake
BAY. under u contract with the War Depart
mcnt. The broken stone and rubbish from
the quarry arc delivered to this city for paving
and other purposes, 10 the amount Of about 3+o
tons per week. The number Of hands employ
ca in the quarry and at the yard where the
stone is beautifully cut and finished, ready to
70 into the walls Of the fort, ranges from 10
to l2J. \ fine steam engine does the work of
hosting the rude blocks from the pit and put
ting them upon cars which convey them to the
bank of the canal, where they arc cut IL exact
conformity with furnished specifications, and
then transported by water to their ultimate
destination.
Whilst there. we witnessed probably the
largest blast ever made in Virginia. The fol-
lowing figures, although they seem almost ill.,
credible, arc the result Of 4 measurement made
a, the time. 4 hole had been drilled l3 feet
deep. Into this, = charge Of 12t pounds OF
powder was placed and fired without apparently
loosening the rock. y second charge was then
put in of % pounds, which cracked the I'M
mcnsc HAAS: and finally, a charge Of 81
hounds of Hazards best fine powder was used,
which, finding its way into the cracks already
made, aSved from its foundation where it had
lain for untold ages, Il solid mass 80 feet long,
IS wide, and 90 deep, and an adjoining loose
block Of 5000 cubic feet, making altogether
Si.2S4 cubic feet, weighing 1c5 pounds 10 the
foot, or IL, 9lG, SEQ pounds in all. Some idea OF
the force employed may he formed when we
consider that, in addition to the actual weight
moved, over 5000 tons, the power of cohesion
on 4 surface Of about 2,00e superficial feet,
had 10 DC overcome. We can likeni it Ia nothing
less than q small earthquake.
There is untold wealth in those hills above
Richmond, and if we had = few moro enter
prising men like Mr.. Gallahcr TO quarry it ont,
Richmond would he as solid in its buildings
and It's wealth As Montreal. the stone city of
the North.
