The Coal supply.

The unusually and unseasonably cold
weather has been the cause of very heavy
drafts upon our coal yards. Some time
siuc4 in referring TO the subject Of fuel We
remarked that the yards we're well sup
Piled. So they were. But no one eX-
nectsd such protracted cold weather so
early IN the season These unexpected
1rafts upon the yards could not have been
fully ANTICIPATED, even though it had been
kpo&u. it is an extraordinary event
in this latitude for a season Of unInter-
rupfed and almost pinching cold to VISIT
us before the rise in the Upper Cumber-
land. This unforeseen stateof the case has
produced heavy demand for coal which
has been met until the yards are consid-
ernl;lv depleted Of what Was thought to have
been IA superintendent supply siI weeks
ago. No appTehensions need exist how
ever. as to any serious deprivation IN this
reg,rd. Though the demand upon the
wards still continues and the supplies are
somewhat limited the selling rates, 1t
is thought will not be advanced beyond
| the present reasonable prices. Hundreds
| Of tons are ready TO be brought here, and
| the river already rising, will, no doubt,
soon reach a navigable tide that viii float
the barges. In case If emergencies, a
supply could be prorured on short notice

RIVER AND WEATHER.


The river at this point yesterday rose
upward of two feet, and up to dark was
still rising with three and half feet re-
ported on Harpeth Shoals. Weather change
able-cold and cloudy IN the morning,

Capt. John Cartwright has turned up

The Cape Girardeau Democracy reneyS
the grave charges which CPt. Washington
has devoted days to disproyiz;y, and offers
to substantiate them by large number Of
respectable witnesses who were at or near
the wreck when Capt. Wsshiraton's boat
passed. If the Captain Is iIpocent he viii
not hesitate to extend the Investigation as
the Democracy suggests. The Democracy
says: The examination Of Capt. j. i.
Washington, of the Submarine No. Is, for
passing the steamer Stonewall while burn
ing without offering any assistance, is go
ing on in st. Louis al the present time
For the benefit of the examining committee
and the public at large, We haze a few
words to say. Capt. Washington states
that he did not know that it was the
Stonewal when he passed the burn
ing wreck; this, in the face Of i'm
parting the first information to our citi-
zens to the effect that it was the Stonewan
He also states that the boat was burned tC
the waters edge when he passed. Now
we can prove by fourteen citizens o
Neeley's Landing, who are ready to make
. oath at any time they may be called upon
that the Submarine No. Is did pass the
Stonewall while burning, and when tn
passengers and crew we're in the waite
J struggling for their lives. We are alsC
ready to furnish living witness that calle'
with all his might to the Submarine for as
; sistance, and who will also swear that the
waves caused by the Submarines passing
drowned some of the unfortunate being
who were on the iil-fated Stonewall. L
the committee want the facts in the case
let them come to the immediate neigbbor
hood of the disaster, and they can gel
them.

The door-knob of Messrs.- Hugh Doug

wrapped in Grape yesterday, caused by the
death of Mrs. Douglas, which sad event oc-
Cured near the hour of l o'clock yester-
day morning. Mrs. D. had been quite Ill
for some days previous, but was not CON

night she was considered much better. In
the night she was attacked with something
like congestion, which lasted for some time
With painful severity, and finally termina-
ted in her death near the hour indica-
ted. She leaves a large circle of friends
and relatives and sadly bereaved family

source Of Divine consolation inspire the
stricken family with the sublime faith that

hand Of death, may be relinked in heaven,

facture. Ham planted and raised the corn
in Edgefeld, and made the broom with his
