Of attraction to pleasure seekers and the

tourned to meet again at 8 O'Clock on Tues

The public mind is NOW thoroughly aroused
upon the fuel monopoly, and at this juncture
any Information upon the subject will be
seized upon with ayidity by the fuel consum-
ers. It Is in this view Of tho case that WI call
attention of housckeepers mud others to the
following which We clip from M exchange:
We notice In some Of our papers tho tacl
question being discussed, and dealers being
charged with d combination to keep up prices.
Now we hare word to say about this. which
ie, encourage home products by using Illinois
coal and tic timo will soon conc when this
periodical scarcity Of fuel, and consequent
high price, will be avoided.
The prejudice which has been felt In regard
to Illinois coal is list passing away, and It is
now being used by all classes Of CONSUMERS.
and for MI purposes, with great satisfaction.

and arc, with great lihcraltty, selling thulr

are selling at about S5 per ton, we believe.
when tlNy could just as readily get 81 II
supply to meet the demands Of tho public,
they may be obliged to stand considerable
adYance IT. freight and attendant expenses, aud
consequently be compelled to advances the
price of their coal during the fall and winter,
is high perhaps as so; but we arc satisfied,
In tho enterprise, that they will keep the. price
as low as they can iu lustico to themselves.
and that 1t will be far less In price than other
coal no better iu quality.
We think such a company should be sus-
tanned to the fullest extent, and although, this
seseon, they cannot fully supply the extraor. ;1.

ALBANY. March IA.
FRIEND WILLARD The past week has been
an eVentful one ut the Capital of the Empire
State. The question of the State detences has
been settled, IN effect and next comes OF the
militia bill. The question whether or not it
would b. advisable to f1rtify New York harbor,
and our Northern frontier, excited u GOOD deal
of debate, and it was not until Speaker RAYMOND
in speech of two hours in length, fully laid
open the sophstry that had been used to advo-
cate the measure, that it was allowed to rest
The ground now taken here is, that the State
OF New York has not the right independently of
the United States Government, to make such
deences-unless in case of invasion, or imminent
danger of invasion.
The Militia, which comes up as special order
for to-day, provides for an entire reorganization
of the State Militia. The Adjutant General, in
his annual report, presented Il plan for such re-
organization, drawn up by the Judge Advocate
General, and upon this plan the Committee on
Militia and Public Defense, have prepared a
length bill 10 reorganze the Militia. SO much
of the hundred days allowed for the Session has
already been consumed, that it seems quite
doubtful whether the fate of this bill may not
be like that of similar bill introduced in the
Vermont Legislature last Fall. An amount OF
business is now pressing, of IL public nature,
that should occnpy the remaining days of the
Session and what is to become Of the many
private interests that are seeking a hearing is
not difficult to ioresee The hundred days does
not seem enough, and is net enough, TO consider
go many bills and settle questions of real i'm
portance that have to be left from year to year,
or decided upon without due examination. The
Militia bill then must be hastily considered, and
will DO disposed of as soon as possible by mem
hers whose constituents are urging them to pns'>
through some local measure. 1t is not imp. pi-
able that s lect Committee will take this mat.
ter in hand, and leave the Assembly, at least,
/ 10 attend to other, and though less important,
yet mere pressing business.
The glorious news from Manassas a as received
here with cheer upon cheer, that made the Hall
ring again.
