Social Condition of the Coal
Mines,


The N. Y. Commercial has an inter
esting article on "Coal and Goal Mining"
from which We CLEAN some particulars
which show how the miners live. The
quarters in the villages inhabited by them
are described as being "simply wretched,
decidedly shabby, unsurpassed for mean
ness" On the property of the Delaware
l. Hudson Canal Company, outside the
borough Of Carbonate, the men are al
lowed to squat pretty much wherever they
please, and take in with the sites Of their
cabins a quarter or half an acre for cult.

Again we have rumors that important
changes are sOon to take place in the Cabi.
net. 1t is currently reported that Gene.
raj Mcclellan has been requested to re.
turn home to take the position of Secretary
of War. General Butler is also named
as the Radical candidate for the same posi-
ton. Thomas B. Florence is named fol
Secretary of Navy, and Montgomery Blail
IS mentioned in connection with the Posi-
office Department.
If the rumor that Gen'l Mcclellan is tc
take Stauton,s place in the Cabinet, should
prove true, it would send a thrill Of Joy
throughout the laud. His appointment
would give unbOunded satisfaction, aad
would secure for President johnson the
earnest support aud confidence ofthe true
friends of the Constitution and Union.

s.rife m the church.


Under this head the Piasburg Post oil
Monday contains q sensible and truthful
article in relation 10 the action Of the
Philadelphia Episcopal Convention ;
The leading Republican and Abolition
organs throughout the country are just
now prodigiously exercised because Of
the refusal Of the Episcopal Convention
to incorporate in its resolutions Of thanks,
giving to God for the restoration Of the
Union andPeace a clause of ~thanksgiv'
ing for the destruction of slavery. To
originate and keep up feelings Of enmity,
Jealousy and strife between the people of
the two sections, seems to be the special
mission of thu Radical spirits of the Re,
publican party, and they let no opportu-
nifty pass unimproved to carry out their
fendish ideas. Agitation and strife ap.
pear to be necessary to tho existence Of
these wolves in Sleeps clothing /; while
to create heart-burnings, bitterness and
dissensions among those who should and
would rather live in peace and harmony
with their fellow men, is their especial
delight. This Convention, which assem-
bled in Philadelphia in the true, genuine
spirit Of Christian charity, to restore the
unity Of its church and to promote the
harmony and feeling of brotherly love,
which should characterize all true Chris
tians every where, very properly rebuked
this spirit of political tanaticism, intro.
duced by Mr.. Horace Binney, Jr., in re-
fusing by q very decided majority. to
consider the proposition at all; bonce,
the indignant aud vindictiye howl of the
Abolition organs. These paper and
their peculiar admirers care nothing about
the sanctity of Religion or the sacredness
Of the Church, in comparison with their
love Of party. No denunciation or cen.
sure is too strong for them to employ
when speaking of the action of a body
of men who refuse to insult and endeavor
to humiliate a large portion Of their
brethren who, by the calamity Of war,
had been separated from them for four
years, and whom all good men were SO
anxious should once more he restored to
the fold. The introduction of this FIRE.
brand into the Episcopal Convention was
most inopportune, OF course having q di,
rect tendency to widen the breach which
the real, devoted men Of the church were
trying to heal aud the very decided ma
jority by which it was laid upon the ia
BILE is a source of oongratulation to al
true Christians who recognize love anC
charity as the grand principles Of all re
ligiou-pure, undefled and uncontamiua
ted by political fanaticism.

SYMPTOMS.

The symptoms Of Catarrh as they generally
appear are at first very slight. Persons ind
they have a cold, that thew have frequent at
tacks, and are more sensitive to the changes
Of temperature. In this condition, the nose
may be dry, or a slight discharge, thin and
acrid, afterwards becoming thick and adhe-
sive. AS the disease becomes chronic, the
discharges are increased in quantity and
changed in quality they are now thick and
heavy, and are hawked or coughed of. The
secretions are offensive, causing a bad breath;
the voice is thick and nasal the eyes are
weak the sense of the smell is lessened or
destroyed; deafness frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom Of
Catarrh is, that the person is obliged to clear
his throatin the morning of q tbisk or Shiny
mucus which has fallen down from the head
during the night. When this takes place tho
person may be sure that his disease is on its
way to the lungs, and should lose no time In
arresting it.
Tile above are but .tew Of the many Ca.
tIrrh Symptoms.
