FoRT MoNRoE.-The secessionists of Vr-
ginia have fixed their eyes upon Fort Mon
roe, and have determined to have 1t at all
hazards. A Richmond paper says:
Fort Monroe is one of the most powerful
deienses on the continent. Il is we'll sup.
piled with armament and munitions of war,
and can readily be reinforced. II is one Of
the places that can laugh siege to scorn.'
IL will require all the money and y good
portion of ell the military of Virginia to
Wrest that fortress from the Federal Gov.
ernment. Yet 1t must be done. or attempted
as soon as Virginia secedes. Governor Wise
declared this ia one of his war speeches last
week: "Virginia will have that fort if it
cost the lives of ten thousand Of her sons to
get It." But ut the same time Governor
Wise admitted that the States of Maryland,
Pennsylvania aud New York are deeply In
t0rested 10 It's retention as a national fort;
because It Is master of The commerce of the
Chesapeake and the Susquehanna river, the
latter rising near the Zip Of the lake" in
New York, aud sweeping through that
State, Pennsylvania aud Maryland, aud
bearing the products Of all three past the
fr0wning front Of Monroe. But the site of
the fort is In Virginia, and the Old Domin.
ion must have II or perish in the attempt to
take IL. This is the decree.

THE ENGLISH Coal MINES.-During The
recent debates in the BriIish Parliament on
the commercial treaty with France, ques-
tion was raised about the coal supplies Of
England. SOme persons took "a very gl0o-
my view Of the subject, aud succeeded In
frightening The weak-nerved portion OF the
British public IntO the belief that at no
very distant period they would have to seek
some substitute for cual.
This discussion was not withOutits results.
a. Mr.. Hull, competent authority, has
Investigated the facts and published for the
general enlightenment a work on "The
Coal Fields OF Great Britain" Mr.. Hull rs
conclusions are Of an encouraging nature.
He does not aver that the coal mines are
quite inexhansLible, but he allays immediate
apprehensiOns by showing ''that for many
generations 10 come the mineral resources
Of England are capable OF bearing any
drain to which they eau possibly be subject
ed, either for home or foreign cOnsump.
tion.H The miners cannot now work as
low In the earth as the coal lies. on account
Of the temperature, which increases pro-
gressivaly from the surface downwards.
The limit TO deep mining is conveutionally
fixed at four thousand feet, yet some OF the
coal strata are ten thousand feet in thick
ness, and thus a measurless store Of fuel
lies beyond present reach. But the aid OF
science may help to accomplish what, at
this date, looks impracticable, and it must
not be forgotten that the commonest ap-
pliances of to-day were the impossibilitees
Of the past.
