AN INDELIBLE BLEMIsH.-Nothng will re !,
store the skin of the head to its original Hlir-
ness, after it has been turned of copper color

The adulteration Of food has heen attended
with results SO fatal, and been SO alarmingly
ON the increase, that France and many other
countries have enacted laws making it a GRIM
inal offence. In the absence of such whole
some laws it behooves the heads of families TO
know what enters into the family diet. Gold
Medal Saleratus is warranted not only pure
and health-giving, but economical. 1t makes
one-third more bread, cakes, &c, from the
same quantity of flour than when other sale
ratus or soda is used.

The coal field on the West slope of the AL
leghanies. extending from the Monongahela to
the Big Sandy rivers, is by far the largest, the
richest, and ia destined to become the most
valuable in the world. In Europe nearly all
the coal deposits lie far beneath the general
surface, and far below water level. Deep
shafts are sunk at immense cost, to reach
them; the mines are then ventilated and drain
ed as they are being worked, only after the
most astonishing outlays On the Kanawha
and collateral valleys, the coal crops out of the
hill sides in veins from to IL feet thick, far
above water level, and can be dumped into the
cars by the force of gravity, for merely nomi-
nal cost, and carried thence to wherever it is
needed. A few miles eastward of this i'm
mense store of coal, on the eastern slope of the
Alleghanies, are found inexhaustible deposits
o. iron ores of the best qualities The Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad, now 10 course of
construction from the navigable waters of the
James River to the river navigation of the
Mississippi Valley, the greater part of which
is already in operation, crosses both the iron
fields and the coal fields and unites them to
the seaboard on the one hand and the Great
West on the other. Nearly 1000 men are
employed upon this great work. and it will
not be many months before the cars will
travel continuously from Memphis, st. Louis
or Chicago, to and from these great iron and
coal deposits, and if need be, on to the naviga-
ton of the Atlantic at Richmond
These natural advantages, together with the
encouraging rush of immigration now finding
its way to Virginia and West Virginia, will
give TO those States vast wealth and industry
The completion Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad itself will set free wonderful
amount of latent power, and is TO rank as one
of the most important works of improvement
now in progress.
The loan OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
road Company, which is announced elsewhere
in our columns, by the iwell known Banking
firm, Fisk s, Hatch, of New York, it will be
seen is being steadily absorbed for invest
ments. These Bonds have several features Of
convenience and security not hitherto found
combined. To all persons contemplating in
vestments of capital, or the exchange of Sc
curities, their remarks will be Of special in
terest. ap26d&5w1t.
