The Whee1ing Reglster.

Under this head new paper, from the
old Office of the Press, made its appearance
yesterday morning. The editor is Mr..
Lewis Baker, of Ohio, formerly, we learn,
the proprietor of the Guernsey Je9tr,onian,
aud gentleman of experience in the news
paper business.
The Register is well printed and well
filed paper, and presents very creditable
appearance, Politically it principles are
as follows:
Politically, We shall keep on a correct
and direct line. combating error in what
ever party found, and while lRboring to
saUs The nation, We shall at the same time
labor to save the people, that when wars
alarms and horrors are over, We may be able
to return to the arts of peace, with our in
diTidual rights secured, with the freedom
of conscience, the press, and the voice,
still preserved, with which ourselves and
our children may re-raiss the shattered
structure of the present, TO a still greater
glory and pre-eminence.
We trust that it will be our privilege to
find ourselves laboring tremendously in
the same cause with the Register.

What tho r ebeIs Propose to Do with
Our Coal hitneS. ls-.s --a
Prom the Richmond WING, July 2.

| 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 conuec-
tions, and thus put Il stop to the transport
| alton OF fuel. His next will be to destroy
the most costly and not easily replaced
| machinery 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, aud leave the
heart of Pennsylvania on fire. never to be
quenched until river is turned into the
| pits, or the vast supply of coal is reduced
TO ashes.
The anthracite coal is found in large
quantities in no other part of the world
but Pennsylvania. Enormous quantities
are used in the United States Navy, the
countless workshops aud manufactures of
the North, in the river boats, and even
upon locomotives. It cannot well be re-
placed py any other fuel. The bituminous
coal which is found near Pittsburg would
not answer the purpose, even If it would
bear the cost of transportation. Our
troops already hold the railroads and ca
nails leading from the Cumberland coal
fields. All that is needed is to seize the
anthracite fields, destroy the roads and
the machinery of the pits, set FIRE to the
mines and leave them. Northern industry
will thus be paralyzed at single blow.
These views may have induced Gen. Lee
to move upon Harrisburg, We DOUBT
whether he would fire the mines, but the
destruction of tho Manch Chunk railroads
and pit implements would be as legitimate
as blowing up tunnels aud acqueducts or
burning bridges. OF one thing we may be
sure, that whatever is best to be done will
be done by Gen. Lee, and if he thinks fit
to destroy the Pennsylvania mines they
will certainly be destroyed. Should be
leave them untouched it will be for the
best of reasons. Bat is impossible not to
indulge the hope that he will avail himself
of the tremendous power which the pos
session of the coal fields, even temporarily,
would confer.
