A Great Subterranean CONFEDERATION in
Pennsylvania.
From the Louisville Cou7icr journal.


We learn from parties, In whom we believe
we may place the most implicit confidence, that
great confagration is now at the height of its
progress in the celebrated Millar Coal mines
on the Monongahela river, at the mouth of the
Ioughiogheny, fifteen miles southeast of Pitts
burg. Tie fire began some time since, and
great efforts have been made to extinguish it.
but to no purpose An attempt to check its
fierce career was made by the erection of mud
walls and the pumping in of large quantities of
water, and by this means the fire was partially
smothered; but the heat became so intense, and
the pressure of gas so great that the walls were
burst, and the flames are now sweeping onward
with greater force than ever. The fire is spread
ing through the Old mines at the rate Of sixty
yards per day, and It is feared the entire field
may be destroyed. So much progress has been
made by the flames that the cost of extinguish-
ing them before they have spread over a thou
sand acres will not be less than Sl50,000
Twenty-Five loaded wagons and all the tools of
the miners have been lost thus far. The Millar
mines are carried on by A. Mill. & Co., of
which firm Mr.. Charles Millar of this CITY was
formerly member. The coafeld over which
this great subterranean deluge of fire is sweep.
ing, is one of the most valuable on the Monon-
gahela, and extends distance of some eight or
ten miles 1t is difficult to say what will be the
result of this underground confagration If it Is
not checked very soon. Wherever vein of
coal extends the fire must follow it, and the
whole Pittsburg coal region may yet be endan-
gered. Let some great lake Of Pennsylvania oil
be touched by the resistless stream Of fire; let
the underground gases be turned on; let the
vast beds of coal throw out their strength, and
the old Keystone State, or at least large por-
ton of it, will form the vent Of a subterranean
hell inferior only to those which In other quar-
tiers of the globe break out In blazing volcanoes
from the surface of the earth.

The Ellsworth American says as Mr. Lewis
Springer Of Hancock, and a neighbor were
blowing late last fall, piece Of greensward, the
pillow turned up a number Of snakes It was
remarked that if the earth was turned up still
deeper more of them would be found, so hoe
was procured, and the earth dug up as deep as
two feet, and more than three hundred snakes
were thrown from their bed and killed. The
most singular part of the story is says Mr.
Springer, that there were some Of all the kinds
he has ever seen in this locality in the nest
1t was kind of happy family gathered there
to winter Those nearest the top were quite
dull, but as they dug down, those in the lower
tiers were brisk and lively.

A man in East Hartford, Ct, disliked the or

We lind the above alioat in tie papers. We
doubt, as II matter of law, whether the author
tiles have any such right as is claimed above
When land is taken for making street or
road, the pubc acquire nothing save the right
of way. Everything not inconsistent with the
public easement belongs to the AUDITING pro.
prietor. Thus in cities the owners of build
ings exercise this right il constructing arches
under the streets for storage and other pur-
poses. And in rural places the grass, trees and
other things, the growing or removal Of which
do not effect the right OF way, are the property
and under control OF the person from whom
the laud was taken. The man could have
spiked the authorities with legal proceeding

A Specimen Radical.

The periodical outbreaks and quarrels Of the
radicals over the distribution of public plum
der are very amusing. Like pack Of wolves,
they are very harmonious in running down the
game, but snar and snap heir jaws over the
carcass On these occasions we arc gratifed
with some grains Of truth that doubtless come
from the bottom of their hearts. Thus the sue
cess of EX-Gov. Fenton in getting into the de-
sirabe position of United States Senator from
New York, moves the Commercial Advertiser,
of that State, to free its mind on the subject
Of Fcnton's fitness for the position. As spec
linen of radical brotherly love we copy it be-
low.
TRIUMPH OF FRAUD The great political
fraud Of the age has trumphed. Reuben E.
Fenton has been nominated by the Republican
members of the Legislature of this State for
United States Senator. This disgraceful re-
suit was produced by men who had full knowl-
edge of the true character of the man and the
scandaous history Of his administration. 1t is a
sad commentary on the condition of public sem
tment and public ri1tue. That man WHOSE
CHARACTER is BLACK WITH VICES THAT MAKE
HIM LOATHsoME, who is without a merit or a
virtue that should entitle him to the eminent
position occupied and aspired to by the ablest
statesmen Of the country, achieves such tri-
umph, is sorry indication Of the demoralized
state OF political society 1t is history again
repeating itself, that in the delirium of fanati-
clsm and venality, bad men rise to the surface.
In the face OF the charges publicly made
against Fenton's administration, and dehantly
Invited into court to afford an opportunity to
prove them, this man is selected to be the rep
reSentative of this great State for the next six
years, to be the peer Of Fessenden, Trumbull,
Sumner, Sherman, Conklng, W ilson, Morton,

A NEWLY PROJECTED RAILROAD. Our Han
cock County neighbors are really waking up on
the subject of railroad communication with the
rest OF the world. Ellsworth, which is prepar-
ing to put on the haoilments of city, will be
the point of starting-but the direction Of the
road is not quite so certain. The Bangor peo-
| pie are inviting a road to that city, there to
connect with the Central ard European and
North American Road. This road would be,
| say SO miles long. Another project is in the
direction Of Castinc, some 80 miles, where a
splendid harbor would be reached. The favor
ite and most feasible plan is for road to Bucks
port 20 miles. whore it would reach the Port
land and Boston steamers, and connect with
the road that will some day be built from Ban
gor, through Belfast TO Rockland. Our friends
east Of the penobscot are really in earnest about
this matter, and determined not to be left be-
hind by the spirit of progress that is now ami
mating the people Of the State. We wish them
all success.
The New Hampshire State Convention, held
at Concord, on the 20th, was large and enthu-
siastic gathering. Ira A. Eastman, of Con-

N. I. Donahoe, for Railroad Commissioner.

Gen Bedel is a soldier of unsullied reputa-
ton. He was an officer of the famous Ninth
Regiment in the Mexican war, commanded by
Col. Ransom. He served all through the late
rebellion, entering the service as Major, and
earning the promotion TO Brisader General.
He was in many engagements, was taken pris-
oner at Fort Wagner, and was in confinement
