The Coal Fields Of Pennsylv ania.

IF it be true that the Confederate forces
occupy Harrisburg, the attention of the
Commanding General will no doubt be di
rected to the coal fields, which lie within
forty or fifty miles of that city. His first
aim will be to cut all the railroad connec-
tons, and thus put stop to the transporta.
ton Of fuel His next will be to destroy
the most costly and not easily replaced ma
chinery Of the pits Whether he would
stop at this is questionable. He might set
FIRE TO the pits, withdraw the forces sent out
on this special duty, and leave the. heartsof
Pennsylvania on fire, never to be quenched
un til river is turned into the pits of the
vastssurply Of coal is reduced to aches
The Anthracite coal is found in large GUAM
titles in no other part Of the world but Penn
sylvania. Enormous quantities are used in
the United States Navy. in the countless
workshops and manufactures of the North,
in the river boats. and even upon locomo-
tives It cannot well be replaced by any
other fuel The hituuinous coal which is
found near Pittshnrg. would not answer the
purpose, even ii it could bear the cost Of
trans portation Our troops already hold
I the railroad and canal leading from the Cum
berland coal fields. All that is needed i.
to seize the anthracite fields, destroy the
roads and the machinery Of the pits, set fire
to the various mines and leave them =
Northern industry will thus be paralyzed a
single blow.
/ These views may have induced Genera
Lee to move upon Harrisburg We doub
whether he would fire the mines, but the
destruction of the Mauch Chunk Railroad
and pit-implements would be as lcgitimat,
as blowing up tunnels and aqueducts o.
burning bridges. OF one thing we may :.
sure-that whatever is best to be done viii
be done by General Lee, and if ne think
ft to destroy the Pennsylvania mines, the,
will certainly be destroyed Should he leav,
them untouched, it will be for the best o
reasons But it is possible not to indulg,
the hope that he will avail himself Of Ii,

The Internal Revenue.

The falling off in revenue from exercise,
from the estimates made by Commissioner
BOUTWELL,, upon data at the time correct
and justified by the statistics of the coun-
try, has been frightfully great, and it is
still diminishing. The cause of this is the
very general neglect to comply with many
of the requirements of the Revenue Act
in regard to the use of stamps, and the
prodigious extent to which stamps once
used are fraudulently detached from the
instruments to which they were affixed,
and used again. The business of collect
ing stamps, even cancelled postage stamps,
is organized in all great cities, and their
sale for use is a commerce of large pro-
portions. Commissioner LEWIS is actively
exploring this new villainy, and maturing
plans that shall at once punish it's authors
and effectually protect the revenue.
