PHILADELPHIA, April %, 1861.
A BRIEF RRrRospEcrioN.

1t 10 with mingled feelings Of joy and sadness,
the writer Of these few lines looks over the history
of the ANTI-SLAvERY BUoLE, now for time sus-
pended. Its Editor has borne himself true to
the right, "withou: concealmeut,. without compro.
mise" For years has be advocated the glorious,
motto full of salvation to the North, "No Union
with Stakeholder" And now, that those gigantic
pirates and mah-;bieyes have taken il into their
heads to do, what the North flor a h~eayen-wide
different %reason,) long since oughs to have done.
and are rushing ~headlong to their own place, like
the Son Of Perdition, be is accused of inconsistent
cy, and murderous feelings are entertained against
him because he don's 60 it blind to force the
bloody cut-throats back again u Consistency
thou art q jewel and If that jewel don't shine
with respondent brightness 10 the editors future
crown Of rejoicing, then shall effect cease 10 fol-
low cause, and future rewards prove q fallacy.
Il is painful to reflect that a paper, so pure and
elevated in its tone, one SO faithful to the suffering
slave, and the momentous interests Of the North.
should be so poorly sustained. But SO i, has been
in every age. The result can be graduated BY q
mathematical scale, tina. the more firm and un-
~hinching a journal is to duty, the less it is accep-
ted by the masses. All papers of high reforma-
tory character have to struggle with poverty and
receive but a meagro pittance. They have to drive
the plough-share deep with labo.ous effort, and
break up the fallow ground for the seed Of truth,
whilst another generation reaps the golden bar
vest. "Be thou faithful unto death aud | will give
thee a crown Of life" is the voice of inspiration.
That glorious promise shall gladden. the heart,
and cheer the pathway of him who now retires
for a season from the editorial chair Of the Bugle.

FORT MONROE.

Fort Monroe, Virginia, is one of the stronges;
forts in the United States, and constitutes the

the spot which is known as Old Point Comfort is
a favorite resort for bathers. The fort itself is
sery large. The walls are more than a mile in
circuit, very thick and high, surrounded by q

A DELICATE QUESTION.

WAsnINoroN, April 29.-Some excitement ha'
been caused in diplomatic circles, ia consequence
Of the Presidents proclamation directing u block
ade Of the Southern ports.
It appears thai a blockade, to be respected by
foreign powers, must not only be effected, bul
that due notice must be given of such intention tc
their representatives with Brazil and all Soult
American governments. A notice of ninety day
is required ancsr treaty. bu. this has cot beer

SUBSCRIBERS AND DONATIONS.

The Executive Committee of the Western
Anti-Slavery Society acting on the principle
of "Never giving up the ship" have con-
tinued the publication of the Bugle until all
the funds in hand are exhausted, and a debt
of between Two and Three Hundred Dollars
incurred.
We wish to impress on the minds of all
whose pledges remain unpaid, the Importance
of promptly renting the amount. Of their
Pledges, land as much more as they see pro-
PERI, as soon as it is possible for them to
do so.
All the friends of the Society will at once
see the necessity of having its debts paid at
the earliest period practicable, not only be-
cause the Editor, and Printer, and Publish
ing Agent need the money they have earned,
but in order that no debt shall cucumber our
operations, if circumstances should transpire
making it desirable and practicable to resume
the publication of the Bugle. ,
All remittances should be directed to the
Treasurer, ]. M'MILLAN, who will promptly
acknowledge their reception.
Persons whose term of subscription to the
Bugle has not expired, will see by the follow
ing resolutions passed at the last meeting of
the Executive Committee, what disposition
is to be made of them.
ResOlred, That the Subscription List Of
the Anti-Slavery Bugle be transferred to
the publishers ofthe Anti Slavery Standard.
ReSOlved, That MARIUs R. ROBINSON
and JOEL M'MILLAN, be q Committee to ar
range with the publishers of the Anti Sla-
very Standard to supply the subscribers to
the Bugle with that paper to the extent to
which their subscriptions have been paid.

COTTON.

Whatever turn affairs may take in the seeded
States-whotber they return to the obedience Of
the General Government, or be allowed q separate
Confederacy-one point is certain to be gained to
The growing civilization OF the world, and that IS
a more extended culture of cotton, for nothing is
more clear than that success must attend the eff
forts Of The millionaires of the world to obtain
cotton supplies from free lAbor.-The London
Times says
"The men who devised and directed tho great
plot oil secession believed themselves indispensable
10 the world. They conceived that The manufac-
turers of Europe, and Of this country especially.
depended absolutely on the products Of their soil.
They were the cotton growers of the world, and
as the world could not do without cotton, it could
not do without them. There was considerable
warrant for this presumption but what is the
turn which events have actually taken Instead
of being frightened into acquienscence and APP
proval, instead Of closing with any terms for the
CONTINUED supply Of cotton from Charleston, Eu-
rope has decided rather on looking about for fresh
markets. The measures which have been taken
and the propositions which have been made on
this point, since the beginning of the rupture,
constitute one cfhe most extraordinary phenomena
.of tie present age. There has been a positive
scramble for tho place which the Southern States
of the Union were supposed to be v~acating. The
Office Of producing raw material for British cotton
mills is eagerly and DANGEROUSLY sought after.
ln Asia, in Africa, in America, and in Austria,
people are ready and anxious to undertake the
duty. Egypt, Ethiopia, Abbeokuta, India, New
Granada, and q dUz n other countries besides, are
competing for our orders"

THE BLooKADING QUESTION.

WAsuINoToN, April 20.
some excitement has been caused 10 diplomatic
circles in consequence of the Presidents Procla-
nation directing o blockade of the southern ports
It oppears, that a blockade, to be respected by
foreign powers, must not only be effected, but that
due notice must be given Of such intention to their
re representatives. With Brazil and all South Amer
lean Governments q notice of ninety days is re-
quired under treaty. but this has not been given
by our government, hence c~ongignmen.s OF coffee
and other material products designed for Southern
ports ale delayed in their transportation to that
portion Of the country, merchants not being salts
fed Of the effects OF an immediate blockade. 1t
has therefore become necessary that specific in.
ouiries be made of the Federal Government in re-
la,ion to this subject, SO that treaty rights and
privileges be not damaged.
The foreign ministers viii! insist that the stipu-
~la,ions shall be respected and observed, othcrwis
naval forces will lie dispatched hi,her as a means
Of foreign protection, The delicacy of the CUES
ton is apparent, and from what is known may in
yolye serious consequences to all concerned; at al
events produce trouble now, as well as in thu
future. I
Among the letters recently received at the Pos
Office Department, was one from o South Caroline
postmaster, couutermandiug orders for stamps
and refusing to make returns, saying he will at
tend to the business as soon as the Post Maste
General shall reach Washington.
Many Of the official letters sent hithcr bear OF
the corner a representation Of the Confederate
Flag.
Gentlemen of Virginia say the ordinance of Sc
csssion will be confirmed by over one hundred
thousand majority.

Depth Of Mines.

THE WORKING OF THE ENGLISH MrNEs.-An En-
glish Journal, after valuing the total product of the
mines of Great Britain at Ell 49l 1872 per annum,
hd computing that England's supply of coal will
Nst at least hundred years longer, at present
rates of consumption, gives the following account
of the depth to which the bowels of the earth have
been pierced in England
"The depth to which we mine for coal is already
great. The pit at Duckenffeld, in Cheshire. is
zoos feet below the surface to the point where it
intersects the Black Mine Coal seam which is
four feet six inches thick and of the best quality
for domestic and manufacturing purposes. From
this point further depth of 500 feet has been
attained by means of an engine plane in the bed of
coal, so that great portion Of the coal is now
raised from the enormous depth Of 2, ,504 feet At
Pendleton, near Manchester coal is daily worked
from depth of 2, l35 feet and the Camel Coal
of Wigan is brought from LIB feet below the
surface Many of the Durham collieries are equal
ly deep, and far extended in their subterra-
mean labyrnths. Some of these, and others in
Cumberland, are worked out from under the bed of
the sea and on both sides of the island we are
rapidly extending our sub-oceanic burrowiug.
81 The Dolcoath tin mine in Cornwall is now
working at 800 feet from the surface, and is
rapidly sinking deeper. The depth of Tresayean,
copper mine, 2, $50 feet. Many other tin and
copper mines approaching these depths and
under the Atlantic waves, in Botallack Levant and
other mines, man is pursuing his labors daily at
half a mile from the shore. To aid the miner in
those severe tasks, gigantic steam engines, with
cylinder one hundred inches in diameter, are en-
ployed in the pumping of water from those vast
depths. Winding engines. which are masterpieces
of mechanical skill, are ever at work raising the
minerals from each dark abyss, and man engines
of consideration ingenuity-so called because they
bring the wearied miner to the light of day, saving
him from the toll of climbing up perpendicular
ladders-are introduced in many Of our most per-
fectly conducted mines.
Our Goals cost US annually one thousand lives
and more than double that number of our metalif-
erous miners perish from accidents in the mines,
or at an unusually early age, thirty-two, from
diseases contracted by the conditions Of their SOILS
By the industry ofour mining population there is
annually added to our national wealth, considera-
bly, more than thirty millions sterling. This,
when elaborated by the process of manufacture, is
increased u value tenfold. While we are thus
drawing upon that boarded treasure, guarded by
dragons white and red which the enehanter Merlin
Is abed to have concealed in the caves of the EARTH
We should not cease to remember, how much of
mental labor and muscular power is expended, and
how large per centsge Of human life is annually
sacrificed in the contest with those hydraheaded
evils which are very truly personifed by the dra-
gons of the legend"
