/, ports an abundant supply Of coal for
the lower cities. awaiting water for
sb;pmept down the Ohio river. -Four
million bushels are now reported in the
pools OF the Monongshels above Pitts
burg, besides other large amounts in
the neighborhood Of the city.
The amount is not as large as usually
accumulates during the same length of
time. But tbis is owing to the fact
that diggers are scarce. and because
merchants we're not able to procure
barges in which to float it to the market.
After The 1000. 600 bushels go down.
and fbe barges are returned, then The
amount necessary to meet the demand
can 60 forward regularly. Owing to
the difficulty of transportation. on as.5
couA of the low stage Of water, the
price has advanced to 10 cents per
busbel in Gallipolis. This may be
considered by some as rather digging"
but dealers can lat,e afford, under ex-
isting circumstances, to sell at less
figure.

VoLuHrEERISa.-We invite attention
to the advertisement Of Capt. JoHE H.
EvAss. of the 56th Regim giment o. v. l.
The gallant Captain has unfuried his
flag, inscribed with Fort Gibson. Cham
pion Hills. Vicksburg. and Jackson.
and invites the aid Of one hundred able
bodied men to join bis Regiment.
II is desirable that sufficient number
OF men be obtained now to Gil up the
old Regiments. so that the war can be
speedily closed up. The rebellion is
weakened in numbers, and curtailed in
territory vastly in the last few months,
but still the leaders manifest very little
disposition to give up, and therefore
they must still be wsrred against until
they are satisfied to give up and obey
the constitution and the laws. We
therefore commend The opportunity pre-
sented by Capt. EVANS.

gathers the waters OF the Himalaya
Mountains, the hottest in the world, is,
at 800 miles from its mouth, only
about 800 feet above the level Of the
sea, and TO fall these 800 feet in its
long course, the water requires more
than month. The great river Mag
