A writer i'll the HillsbOro NeUS, in
speaking of the importance OF complet-
ing the old Hillsboro road to Jackson,
says;
"Not only has this line, when at Jack
son, fairly penetrated the Coal region
known as the Jackson Coal field, but
in its progress east to Gallipolis to con-
meet at that point with the Chesapeake
aud Ohio II, r., it passes through the
Coal and Iron field most of, if not the
entire distance, and generally below
workable Coal seams and Iron ore beds
Prof Mather, former State Geologist,
in a.carefully prepared statement for
publication in June, 1853, says: "The
Jackson Coal bed, from the vicinity of
Jackson alone, would be competent to
furnish Cincinnati 100 tons of Coal an
nually for 100 years; that this Coal is
the nearest to Cincinnati of any worka-
bic Coal, Qhe seams varying from 80
to 48 inches in thickness) its qualities
for manufacturing purposes, for raising
steam in steam engines, for blacksmith
ing, tor smelling Iron, and for parlor
and domestic use, are unsurpassed
This Coal, Camel Coal and Iron ore
beds of workable seams, above the lev
el of the valleys, are found in the same
hills from Jackson eastward, aud at Lit
tie Raccoon, few miles east, beds of
Camel Coal, said to be from 10 to 10
feet in thickness, are found in connec-
ton with very rich Iron ore and heavy
seams of Limestone Coal, Qrom to 6
feet in thickness,")

fully equal to the Scotch Camel, or the
best of the Coal River Va. Camel 1t
underlies at least goo square miles of
Jackson Co., aud would probably yield
$500, 900 bushels to the square mile
The Iron ore from near Jackson and on
the line east, would yield from 5000 to
10000 tons per acre and the Limestone
Coal 100000 bushels per acre.
The Coal and Iron trade on this line.
if completed only to Jackson, would,
according TO the experience of other
almost purely Coal roads, make it pay
ing investment on the small amount of
capital required to complete it, When
you add the extension through the Coal
and Iron region 20 or 80 miles to Gal
lpolis, the connection at Jackson with
the Portsmouth and Ironton lines,
which pass through the Coal and Iron
region, a possible connection from Guy
andotte, the business of a rich agricul-
tural region along the greater part of
the line, together with its share of

Cincinnati over this and the Chesapeake
& Ohio II, r., and full share of the
return trade and travel-it can hardly
be conceived that it may not become
one of the most important lines ofroad
from Cincinnati to the sea-board, as it
certainly will be to Cincinnati her best

Candidate for Congress.

The call for convention to nominate
a candidate for Congress in thi s district
will fix the time on the 18th of
August, one week after the State con-
vention. 1t is time to be talking shout
candidates. There will no doubt be
plenty of candidates. but we think it is
not yet safe to be trying experiments
with new or untried men. The great
iron interests of this district require a
man of ability and experience, until the
tariff question shall be settled. That
question is now just coming before
Congress and the country.
We believe there is no man in the
district who is more suitable for the po-
sition than II. S. Bundy, of Jackson
county. Mr.. Bundy was elected in
1864, and served two years, with the
entire appreciation of his constituents.
1t is now conceded that his advanced
position upon the questions arising out
of the war, were right.
In 1866 Mr.. Bundy declined to he
candidate, for reasons not necessary
now to mention. Capt. Wilson was
nominated and elected. In 1868 there
was again strong desire that Mr.. Bun
dy should be the candidate. He said
that if Mr. Wilson desired second
term, he (Buudy), would not come in
his way. Mr.. Wilson also said that if
Mr.. Bundy desired the nomination, he
(Wilson), would not be a candidate.
The people thought that it was due to
Mr. Wilson that he should be returned.
Mr., Wilson has now been in office
continuously since 1868, having been
in the Ohio Senate from 1868 to March
4, 1867, and in Congress ever since
that time.
1t appears to be the earnest desire of
large majority of the Republicans in
this district, and also of many Demo
Gratis, that Mr.. Bundy should represent
us. lie is the representative man Of the
district. The question of protection to
our great iron interests will be the real
question in this district, whatever it
may be in other localities. On this
question Mr.. Bundy can carry the dis
trict by 5000 majority,
We have seen and talked with Mr..
Bundy on the subject of being a candi-
date. He will enter into no scramble
for the nomination. lie says he has
no claims for Office, but if the people of
the district think he is the proper man
to represent them, he does not feel at
liberty to refuse. This being the state
of the case, his friends will urge his
nomination with earnestness, and con-
fidence of success.

Denth of Charles Dickens.

On last Thursday, at six O'Clock,
Charles Dickens died ofparalysis, at his
residence, near Gad's Hill, England.
He was IS years of age Mr.. Dickens
was the greatest novelist of this, ,.or per-
haps any age. We commenced reading
his works in lS40, and have read them
as they appeared, ever since. We have
two editions, of his works, comprising
IA volumes. One is the beautiful Dia
mond edition, illustrated. He was
writing another novel, called the Mys-
terry of Edwin brood. This was being
published in Every Saturday. We
have read all the chapters published,
1t is unfinished
We have been an ardent admirer of
the writings of Charles Dickens Diff
ferent persons admire different ones OF
his works. We think Little Dorrit the
best.
In reading the works of Dickens, the
reader can see the persons, or things he
describes, as if they were actually be-
fore him. Did you ever walk out Of an
evening and see anything like thisl
'It was one of those summer eve
nings when there is no greater darkness
than long twilight. The vista of
street and bridge was plain to see, and
the sky was serene and beautiful. Peo-
pie stood and sat at their doors, playing
with children and enjoying the evening;
numbers were walking for air; the wor-
ry Of the day had almost worried itself
out, and few but themselves were hur-
ried. AS they crossed the bridge, the
clear steeples Of the many churches
looked as if they had advanced out of
the murk that usually enshrouded them
and como much nearer. The smoke
that rose into the sky had lost its dingy
hue and taken a brightness upon it.
The beauties of the sunset had not faded
from the long light films of cloud that
lay at peace in the horizon. From a
radiant centre over the whole length
and breadth of the tranquil armament,
great shoots Of light streamed among
the early stars, like signs ofthe blessed
later covenant of peace and hope that
changed thecrown ofthorns into glory"
Some bigoted critics find fault with
Mr.. Dickens religious opinions, as gath
cred from his writings. He painted
Little Dorrit as all.that was pure and
good, and he puts into her mouth the
following words, which is a good
enough creed for US:
$50, Mrs. Clennam, Mrs. Clennam,'
said Little Dorrit, 'angry feelings and
unforgiving deeds are no comfort and
no guide to you and me. My life has
been passed in this poor prison, and my
teaching has been very DETECTIVES but,
let me implore you to remember later
and better days. Be guided only by
the healer of the sick, the raiser of the
dead, the friend of all who were afflict-
ed and fOrlorn, the patient Master who
shed tears of compassion for our infrm-
tiles. We cannot but be right if we
put all the rest away, and do every
thing in remembrance of Him. There
is no vengeance and no iuAiction ofsuf-
fering in His life, ] am sure. There can
be no confusion in following HIM, and
seeking no other footsteps, am GER
tain!"
