The Citizen has excited the indigna- ton of it's cultivated neighbor, and called forth from him an editorial in which an attempt is made to whistle up courage, and behind clustering as scrtions, hide the tottering basis upon which he stands. The TWO DOLLARS PER ANNuM is the burden of his cry, and in the great philanthropy of his soul he tells the people he will make pecuniary sacrifices for their benefit. It is very evident that with him ''the times have communicated a new value to cents,' and with this increase of value comes the demand for that which his last move was designed to accom- plish. However much wisdom our "neighboring concern" may possess, its present. necessities have driven it to the commission of most ogregious blunder We certainly have no ob- iection to their conducting business upon their own plan, so long as con- sisteney marks their course but, in this instance, 'puerility' surely belongs to them. That their inconsistency may Dc readily seen, we quote from their own pages:
 eWe shall resort to no inge- nious coup d'etat for the purpose of extending our circulation, at an immense pecuniary sacrifice. If we were to reduce our subscrip- tion below S4 % per annum there would be room for suspicion that our paper would be short-liyed If others place low estimate on the products of their toil, we shall inter pose no objection, and il is quite natural that lenccting minds should accept the valuation as correct"
 Thus it will be seen that their own words condemn them; that graduated in the scale by them established, they will be found in the throes of newspa- perial death. However much boyish- ness may characterize our editorials, we have never been guilty of such gross inconsistency. It is unfortunate for our toe pinched neighbor that he took those fanciful flights to first class positions, ill which he exhausted so much English last winter. He estab- lished his own premises, built his own platform, and if it is not broad enough, the consequence of its assertion must rest upon his own shoulders. There arc but two motives that could possi- bly, influence newspaper to reduce it's price at this time; one is the establish- ment of a basis upon present means for future income, the other created by present necessities. The first the Cres cent disavows, and upon the face of this disavowal is the admission of the latter. Again we tell the people we have no promises to make; the Citizen by its consistent course and devotion 10 individual interest has established its pcrmancncy, and will be the peo- ple's paper when the sprophetic con- cern" rests in the grave forgotten.

There has been some complaint of apparent preferences in the orders and regulations of the Board of Mayor and Councilmen but we arc inclined to think that this grew out of some mistaken rumors or nasty conclusions.

PRENTICE ON THE KENTUCKY ELEc- TIoN.-With the Kentucky vote we send glad tidings 10 the Northern De- mocracy. We have fully redeemed all our promises to them. We stand proudly beside them. We behold them struggling in a minority, but it is no hopeless struggle. We see them gain ing upon their opponents, making brave headway against them, and a confident belief take possession of our minds that their triumph is not far of. The people of the South see, in the re- suit of our elections, the best evidence that we are resolved to vindicate and sustain their cause to the extent of our utmost power. We condemn all the atrocieus wrongs practised toward the South by Congress, end will right them if ever God shall give us the strength and opportunity to achieve so holy Il purpose.

H'hS news from Alabama, Georgia. Mississippi, Louisiana. and the other States east of the Mississippi. is very encouraging. They have had fine sea- sons and the crops arc doing well. In southern Arkansas the prospect for corn is good; wheat looks well, but we can learn very little about cotton. In this section the rain has interfcred materially with the working of crops, and in many places bad stands are complained of. The prospects, how ever, arc much better than they ewere a few weeks back, and planters yet hope for an average yield.

He and the other parties implicated have turned over, internationally, all their pri- yate property to the government, and 1t IS not anticipated that the government will lose any great amount. The government deposits in the New Orleans national banks are less in amount than their seeu- rites held by the government. Therefore there can be no loss from any of these in- stitutions.

EXHAUSTION OF CoAL.--Otr known coal area is estimated at 206.030 square miles, of which only about 470 square miles is anthracite. vet of 22,0O0,000 tuas mined in 1864, 100000 were an- thracite. When it is considered that the amount mined represented only the current demand, or rather that which was produced for the market, and not comprise that wasted, lost in pillars, etc., it may excite some inquiry ill re- gard to the ultimate exhaustion of our anthracite beds. The population of the entire cast, portion of the south and northwest, over l2000,000. draw their supplies from the Pennsylvania anthra- cite fields. and large quantities are ex- ported to Canada and shipped to other countries. The natural increase of the anthracite coal trade is over two and half per cent. per annum, so in lSI0the demand will not be less than l5,000,- GOO tuns. probably much more. Esti- mating an average ofsiXty vertical feet in thickness, our anthracite fields con tain lS,000Oo0.000 tons, which. at the present rate of increase in demand. would entirely exhaust them in 600 years. But about one-half of this is lost and wasted by our present system of mining and should the anthracite trade ever approach the dimensions of the English coal trade, our supply would melt away in about lS0 years.- I Atlanta New Era.
