and we have some elemen ts of the coal
problem which must Interfere to prevent
the solution being as favorable as might
be desired. But this is not all. The
constantly increasing price in coal causes
corresponding increase in other articles;
gas, for instance, which will be charged
for at the rate Of three dollars per thou
sand cubic feet, instead f two dollars ard
fifty cents, as heretofore. Whether this
high price of coal will be maintained all
through the season or not, is something
that remains to be seen.

Seventy-fve Thousand Tors of Human
Blood

A writer in the Jefferson county On. W
Int0n, who has been making calculations
relative to the number of men killed thus.
far in this war, gives tue following start
ling results
There has been enough already slain to
encircle cur State, if their dead bodies
were laid in one continuous line.
lfthey were place in collins and corded,
they would count thirty nine thousand
cords. ~
Iflaid in wall twenty-five feet thick
and thirty feet high, it would be over one
and one-fourth miles in length.
If five feet thick and ten feet high, the
pile would reach across the State. .
II piled upon ten acre lot, they would
be nearly two hundred feet high.
And if laid upon the ground, they
would cover every foot of soil in Jefferson
county. .'.....
Seventy five thousand tons of human
blood have been split in Dixie's soil
enough to turn every spindle in Lowell,
and if the tears were added to the flood,
it would turn the machinery Of the ronti-
nent and the uuyaiing signs would fill
every ocean sail,
The one-half has not yet been told
The millions of wounded and MANNED for
life must be taken into account i'll SUM-
ming up the grand total OF evils incident
to this bloody and fanatical war.
And the end is not yet.

ESCAPE OF PRrsoNERs.-On Sunday morning
last two prisoners escaped from the county Jail.
These men had been indicted for HOUSEKEEPING
and robbery, and consequently, if convicted,
their punishment would have been severe. Their
names are Charles Bond and Martin Haley. One
Of them is said TO be an old offender, and the
other may he so, for aught we know. The Sher-
if has, we are informed, used every exertion to
recapture them, but up to this time his efforts
have proved fruitless

&5. Missouri is in sad state. The
guerllas are doing just as they please, and
large portions of the State militia called
out to fight them, go bodily over to them
The Federal commanders are in such
straits that they are issuing proclamations
calling out the citizens, but they do not
respond. So far AS the destruction of
property goes, the Federal guerllas do
quite as much of it as the sueriIlas on the
other side.

COAL AND ITS PR1cE.-The exceed
ing high price of coal is causing consider.
abb CONSERVATION among housekeepers ev-
erywhere. On this subject the Philadel-
phia Inquirer remarks:
The reason given for the present exor-
bitant prices are that some of the coal
miners, who work by the piece, not labor
ing hard, earn from 500 to $500 month,
which is $4,000 or $4,000 year and
the car-pushers, their work requiring phys
zeal force, but no skill, study OF capital,
have Sc day. Then the railroads that
carry coal have combined to make large
dividends, and the mine owners have done
the same to secure large profits and the
middle men and other dealers have not
forgotten their interests. The govern
ment is an immense consumer in its war
steamers, and the FORCES, founderies and
factories engaged in government work
must use great quantities of coal.
Take all these things together, aud
throw in the advance il gold aud in arti-
Giles of produce and general consumption,

CONDITION OF THE JAIL.
TERM, 1864.

To the Honorable JOIN II. PRICE,
Judge Of the Circuit Court for Hartford
county.
The Grand Jury of August Term, 1864,
respectfully report TO your Honor that we
visited the Jail Of the county, on the 9th
instant; and we think the inmates are as
comfortably cared for as the keeper can
have them, the building being contracted
and badly arranged for such purpose.
The building is in a rather dilapidated
condition, and unsafe for the purpose of
safe-keeping of prisoners, and we recon-
mend the building of a new Jail, entire.
We find confined at this time seventeen
persons, for the following offences:
Five white men for robbery, 9 for as
sault and battery, for murder, 3 insane;
/ white woman for larceny; l colored
man insane, for assault with intent to
kill, for larceny, for arson, and one
woman for larceny.
