ing in that case to waive ,he time allowed 1Gr
the Withdrawal Of the balance OF Its troops. and
remove al the troops substantially at one time
This PROPOSITION has not been asSented to, but
it is insisted that it shall commence at once,
and proceed as rapidly as possible. tits hoped
that the whole body Of troops viii be Withdrawn
within three months. In view Of the anarchy
prevalent IN Mexico, our government will be
prepared to protect the JuareZ government
and finally establish it. In consideration OF
this, Lover California and the northern part

Baltimore Radical Rebellion

BALTIMORE, October 23--ro day the city
has been remarkably quiet The proclamation
Of The Governor has been the cause Of much
discussion, but has caused no excitement what
ever.
Tonight meetings arc being held at various
points by the Boys in Blue, Lincoln lnvinci-
bles, and like organizations of the Republicans.
Similar meetings for organizations have also
been held, CT are being held, by the ConScrva-
tiyes and Democrats: but all these meetings
were called before the proclamation was issued,
and therefore cannot be regarded as having any
particular reference TO it.
The opinion prevailing among thoughtful
people is, that even should the Governor de-
eide to remove the Commissioners, and appoint
others to succeed them. there need not be re-
sort to violent measures The case would then,
it is supposed, cone regularly before the court,
il the shape of a mandamus and the whole
question would then have to be settled ny a
formal trial, and most likely it would finally be
taken to the Court Of Appeals. The Police
Commissioners have been notified by the Gov
crnOr that the examination Of witnesses will be
commenced Oh Friday. 1t is believed howcv-
er, that the Commissioners will not be present,
even By counsel, at the examination, as they
have determined not to acknowledge the right
Of the Governor to try the case.

Migrants, which if it could have been enforced,
would have put a stop to much Of the idlcness
that abounds throughout the country and
which is the fruitful source Of theits and COM

it seemed good III the eyes OF General Terry to
enter his protest against the law 50 far as its
operation would effect the colorcd population
upon our statute book. Whether this order of
General Terry is without limit, and is intended
to protect ne gro Migrants for all time to come,
we do not know; but as civil law has been
declared supreme in the land, we think the
question ought to be tested. Unless something

THE LEGISLATURE.

In the Senate, yesterday, the only sub
ject Of interest was the special order, being
the bill to indemnify "loyal citizens for
losses sustained by them in putting down
the rebellion" which had reached the criti-
cal period of the third reading. 1t is
rather hard nut to erack-not that the
'loyal" should not be Unidentified" but
the exact amount Of fraud, perjury and re-
sulting robbery would be swallowed by the
people in relieving the "intolerable suffer.
ings" Of Radical tanners and rebel shoe con.
tractors for their losses, is a question o.
some doubt. 1t is thought in some quar-.
tiers that The General Government is tbs
responsible party in such cases, and thai
the State Treasurer might put his foot in i
by'paying out money on the recommends
ton of the Legislature for any such ques
tionable purpose. So the bill and amend
ments we're referred to a special committee

a The Coal Question.

TO the Editors NashCille Union and Dispatch.
NASHVILLE, Nov. oath 1S66.-Some days
ago, a second article by an anonymous
writer appeared in the Nashville Dispatch
upon the subject of cheap coal. With the
main question discussed, / have nothing to
do, but the writer travels out of the way to
show that Nashville cannot be supplied
from the coal fields in the Cumberland
mountains, and says: 'sThe coal Of the
Sewanee or Tennessee Company is not to
be found in veins but in deposits; it is a
very soft coal, irregular in quantity, thrown
up upon the surface of the mountain, in
irregular mounds or ranges of hills by
volcanic action.p The writer evidently
has not been at the Sewanee mines late
ly. The main entry in the mines, and
which is horizontal, penetrates the
mountains about 1900 feet. From this
main entry there are side entries
on both sides, some of which are
nearly equal in length to the main en-
try, making altogether many thousand
yards of entries which have been driven.
All these entries are through, and show a
regular vein of coal, which greatly improves
in quantity and quality as we penetrate the
mountain. We are now working in coal
between five and six feet thick. 1t is abb
solutely certain that the coal is inexhausti-
Die by the present generation. Some of our
own citizens fully realized this at an early
day, and induced foreign capitalists to
spend over half a million Of dollars to
reach the mines. The main argument be-
ing, %Cheap coal for Nashville, +" which, if
in sufficient quantities, would control the
market and make on the investment good
dividend. Promises in a matter of this
kind amount to but little; but whoever
will take the pains to examine the opera
tons of this company, will see that Nash
vile may confidently hope for much in
the way of cheap coal from this source in a
short time. -t..g
As there seems 70 be some misunder
standing about an allusinn, in Il former
Communication by me on this subject, to
the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, it
is perhaps right that should state that
the officers of that road are afording our
company every possible facility for getting
coal to Nashville. With the continued CO.
operation of that company, and a few
months for building cars, the people of
Nashville shall have a good supply Of cheap
coal 1t is the fixed purpose of that COM
pany to supply Nashville. v,..-y
