Death of an Editor.

Mr. HENRY b. RHoNE son of Samuel
Rho"e, Esq, of Benton township, in this
county, and at the time of his death, the
Editor of the Unionville (Missouri) Argus,
died at Unionville, on the 18th of January
1861, in the 25th year of his life. Mr..
Rhone learned the Art of Printing in
Bloomsbury, where he was universally
respected and esteemed by all who enjoyed
his acquaintance. In Missouri, where he
had resided several years, and conducted
an interesting Democratic Journal, he was
held in the highest esteem, by the citizens
generally, without reference to party
considerations, as will be seen by the
subjoined notice and proceedings of the
citizens of Unionville -

of Jesus.

course of citizens, there to remain until the
last trump shall sound, calling sleeping
generations to hear their final doom.

Illinois coal for fuel in locomotives has al
ready received the attention of many of OUT
railroad managers throughout the Northwest,
aud its gradual adoption fully warrants the
belief that it is destined to take the rlace Of
wood, which is now so extensively used not
only from necessity but as matter of econo-
my. The annual consumption Of several hun
drcd thousand cords Of wood By the locomo-
tires Of numerous railroads in Illinois, must
Of necessity greatly increase the price Of The
same, especially in State like ours, where
timber is so scarce. If coal can be made to
compete successfully with wood at present
pric es it is reasonable to conclude that it will
continue so to do under the inexhaustible SUE
ply Of the former, with which this State
abounds. The yearly statement for 1860 Of
Samuel J. Hayes, Superintendent Of Ma
chinery On the Illinois Central Railroad, fur
nishes many interesting facts relating to tue
pracicabIlity of using Illinois coal for fuel,
which arc worthy the attention Of all who con-
template its use, or those who may be Dreju-
diced against it. The average cost Per mile
for locomotives using wood was S2G60, while
for those using coal it was only $17.81, a diff
ference in favor Of coal Of over $500 per mile.
| The total number Of miles run BY To-
comotives On this road the last year
was 437 So, and at saving Of cents 4 mile,
their profit last year would have been
hns had in the use Of coal, and the improve
ments he has made, have successfully combat
ted with the difficulties arising from the i'm
puriGcs Of Illinois coal, which for a time
seemed to defy its use. The benefit Of adopt
ing coal for fuel has become so apparent that
Mr. Hayes is pushing forward the work of al
teriDg the locomotives for its use on the Hi
noIs Central Railroad rs Fast as practicable.
Nine were arranged to burn coal during last
year, and scyeral are now being so arranged.
The Company now have thirty-two locomo-
tiyes using Illinois coal With satisfactory re-
saIts. Many other roads have adopted its use,
among gh ich are the G. B. & O., the C., A s.
St. l., and the G. Il r. [, all Of which find a
saving Of at least rs PEE cent, which will in-
sure speedy and general adoption Of coal for
fuel, to the no small degree Of profit and sat-
isfactioa to all concerned, if We may judge
from the rnling prices Of wood for the past
winter T.

bematical Of the struggles Of our noble ancestry,

Coal OIL In ChtcaEo.

EQ1t0f6 t13CAEu Al1ouAo.N
noticed, day Or two since, complaint Of
some peraon IN regard to the overnoW sr or COZ,
tile efdnVia arising from 1t as being very or
fensiye, and your remark that as soon as the
traps to tho sewers were put in order there
would no ef1uyia arise
It Is strange that people in Chicago will
pump into the sewers almost identically the
same mnterlal that others are pumping out Of
the earth, at great expense, in Pennsylvania
and Ohio, and who find 1t to pay to send it
four thousand miles aWsy, for see by the pa
1ers Tint shipments Of the natural coal oil
have been made to England.
The writer was engaged for a numGer Of
years In distilling oils for illuminating pur-
poses, aud knows TINT the CONDENSED gas made
from coal is nothing more nor less than coal
oil in crude state, and worth at least twenty
five cents per genon to distl and refine into
kerosene, and If some person would undertake
the business, money cou:d be made By pur-
chasing it at that price and distilling It.
One thing more, Messra. Editors: While the
people Of Pennsylvania and Ohio are pumping
up oil and selling it to Chicago and other
cities, Chicago has q reservoir Of oil Of the
aame Kind in her midst, right at her feet. But
Isuppose people think it cheaper to import
the article than to pump 1t out Of the earth at
their own doors. The stone qlaTties at ute
sccsteTn limit Of The city lie in or o.. rcscruoir Of
The same kind Of oil. What quantity there is
there Of course no one can tel, but it would
cost but little to bore down and try it.. That
the oil taken out of those quarrlcs ia Of the
sane character and quality as the Pennsylra-
mia oils the writer knows, having compared
them. Respectfully yours. N.
REMAnKs.-We have supposed that only
small portion Of the liquid pumped out
Of the gas pipes is similar to the coal oil.
As we have no definite information on the
subject, however, we commend the matter
to the careful consideration Of The EN-.
ployees Of the Gas Company.
As to the reservoir Of oil under our city,
we fancy our correspondent is the only one
who has the news; and be does not inform
US of the source Of his knowledge We
| believe the idea most prevalent among
those best informed on such subjects, as to
| the bitumen and small quantities Of oil
found in the limestone which comes to tue
surface in the prairie near the north-wes-
tern corner Of our city, is that they came
from formation which formerly overlaid
this stratum, and which was swept away
by great convu1sion which preceded the
present geological condition of thingE
This stratum seems to dip pretty rapidly
towards the east and south. The Galena
Railroad Company struck it at depth oI
Of ninety feet, while boring for water fol
their shops, at the corner Of Halstead and
Kinzie streets, in the West Division. We
never heard Of their finding any oil, and
we fear the "reseryoir" Of that substance
was upset and emptied long ago.
