THE cLoYER HILL COAL COMPANYs

The Richmond Dispatch publishes the fol-
lowing interesting article describing the con-
dition and prospects of the Glover Hill Coal
Company. 1t will be ofikterest here, not only
as an indication of what can be accomplished
by Southern skill and enterprise, but also be-
cause the president of the company Is gal
liant young Charlestonian, who, at the close OF
the war, If we remember Alright, was the
Youngest brigader general in the Confederate
Army:
The prosperous condition OF affairs OF the
Clover Hill coal pits will be noted with pleas
ure by all who are Interested in the develop
ment of the material resources of our state.
The Clover Hill mines are situated IN Chester
field County. about twenty-seven miles from
Richmond. and the coal Is conveyed thence by
rail to Osborne's Landing, on the James RIVER.
about fifteen miles below Richmond, and only
twenty-five from the pits, their proximity TO
water navigation being one Oh treir many aa aa-
yantages. The mine Is worked by q corpora
ton chartered as the Glover Hill Railroad Com
nany. The president, General T. N. Logan, Is,
TO use the popular phrase, "a live man, pos
scssed of good Judgment, untiring energy, and
fine business habits; the surface manager, Mr-'
Elliott Lacy, Is young man also nlgnly'es-
teemed for his executive ability, and the un,-

to be the possessor of unusual qua lhcatlons lCr
that position. Under such management IL Is
not surprising that the prospects OF the COM
pany are encouraging.
There are now four shafts open. at the Mines
The Raccoon pit has just been successfully de-
yeloped. and the miners think they have struck
vein of coal which will give them work Tor
twenty years to come. The product Is btu
minous coal of fne quality, valued for many
purposes, and particularly for the manufacture
OF gas. Being in excellent repute, It IS dls-
tributed all over the country BY daily snip
ments to points on the coast from worcester,
Mass, to Savannah, Ga.
The company has acted wisely, we may ADD,
In the management of their profits since the
war Instead of declaring dividends they

developing the mines, and otherwise increas--
inc their facilities, until now the yield Is only
limited by the demand; and, notwithstanding
the large outlay referred to, a dividend OF four
per cent. has recently been declared. Another
effect of good management is seen IN the fact
that the coal is now sold at dollar per load
less than it brought last year, aId Two douars'
pcr load less than in 1868.
Both General Logan and Mr.. Lacy are gen.
tlemen of liberal education and accomplished
engineers, who have made mining speciality.
We cannot close this hastily written sketch
without congratulating the company upon
having secured their services, and the state
upon having such men engaged In this lmpor-
tant branch Of industry.

An Arranged Affair OF Honor.
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, of su

The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, of Sun
day, says:
On last Friday party of gentlemen passed
through this city on their way TO Demorcsps
Ferry, situated some distance below here on
the Savannah River, where, upon the South
Carolina side OF the stream, they propose to
indulge in little social recreation III the shape
Of duel
The affair has been kept exceedingly dark,
but from what we have been able to learn iC
appears that the difficulty had its origin at the
tournament ball which was given in Waynes-
boro', Burke County, on last Thursday night.
During the evening, Mr.. Perry DeLeon, of St-
vannah, and Mr. Randolph Ridgely, of Burke
County, became engaged in an alteration
with regard to the ownership OF q ''place" In
one of the quadrilles which was being danced.
The quarrel resulted in Mr.. DeLcon sending u
challenge to Mr.. Ridgely, which was promptly
accepted by the latter. The place chosen for
the meeting was the South Carolina side Of
Dcmorests Ferry, tour own fayorite fighting
field of Sandbar Ferry being, for some rea-
son, sighted by the com6atants,) and the
weapons Colts navy revolvcrs.
The distance between the parties was to be
twelve PAGES, and the manner OF conducting
the little affair to be as follows: The parties
to br placed with their backs to each other, to
wheel and fire when the word should bc given,
anu then 10 auFllce anu iiFe uHtil lhc Wctt-
pons were cmptcd, or until they should no
longer be needed.
AS we have before stated, the principals and
their seconds passed through this city OH Fri
day, on their way to the place appointed for
the meeting, which was to have taken place at
II o'clock yesterday. Mr.. r. II. Milledge, Of
Burke County, was the second of Mr.. DeLeon,
but we were unable to learn who ofiiciatcd in
this capacity for the other party.
lin IN the time of pOin.r to press nothing had
sull of the meeting will probably be known
here this morning. All ofthe parties engaged
in the affair are well known in this city, and

DISSOLVED IN CONFUSION.


The President then announced that Hon. ~.
Wright, having received majority OF the whole
number Of votes given, was duly elected as asso.
ciate justice of the Supreme Court for the un-
finished term ending Both July, A. D. lS70.o The
friends of Wright Immediately commenced to ap-
plaud him, but ceased when the President called
the House to order, and announced that the joint
assembly could proceed TO the election rfrd rOce
for an associate justice OF the Supreme Court for
the term OF six years, commencing 30th July, 4.
d. 1870. AS soon rs this announcement was
made, there was scene OF great disorder, which
the repeated rappings OF the Presidents gavel
failed to subdue. Motions to dissolve the joint
assembly were made and numerous points Of
order raised, during which the President declared
the joint assembly dissolved.
1t Il not probable that the senator's will agree
to 20 into an election for associate justice for tile
full term, however much the members may de.
sire them to do so. learn that Wright has re-
ceived his commission and will take his scat TO-
morrow morning.
HOW THE DEMOCRATS VOTED.
1t will be seen, by reference to the votes cast,
that with few exceptions the Democrats voted
for Wright. Beatty voted for Whipper; keitt,
Wilson and Waller for Ex-Governor Orr, and
Doyle for Thompson. 1t was asccrtained that
they could nol defeat the election OF either
candidate by consolidating their vote; and as
Wright was, OF the two candidates, much better
fitted for the place, they voted for him. 1t is un
derstood that Wright's friends promised the
Democrats to aid them in electing Conservative
to fill the vacancy in the fifth judicial circuit oc-
casoned by the death OF Judge Boozer, if thoy
would vote for Wright. Perhaps this had consid.
cradle influence upon them in casting their votes
to-day.
JUICE OF TIE FIFTH CIRCUIT.
In the Senate, to-day, lIayne stated that as the
Court OF Common Pleas and General Sessions of
the Fifth Judicial Circuit would meet in Columbia

ing concurrent resolution:
