Science and Literature.

This Institution has reputation for thor
oughness in these Departments. They are
conducted by teachers of experience, whose
aim is not to fill the mind with indigested
facts, but to discipline it, to teach it HOW rC
THINK.
The course of study is thorough, and in
cludes those branches which are best adapted
to fit woman for that exalted sphere allotted
to her by the Creator.

and expenditure of the postal telegraphs,
not for the fiscal year, but for the four
teen months ending March 81, 1871,
and an accompanying report to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
by Mr.. Frank Ives Scudamore,
Secretary to the Post-othee;
and both these documents tell very
different story from the one with which
Mr.. Creswell favors US. 1t appears
from Mr.. Chetwypd's report that the
gross receipts of the fourteen months
were fl,068, ,585, from which must be
deducted f27O605 paid to submarine
telegraph companies in respect OF col
lections on their behalf, and allowed to
postmasters and others for delivery of
messages and refunded message-money.
This is evidently the item ol payments
out" which Mr.. Creswell committed
the extraordinary blunder OF supposiug
to be the gross expenditure; and the
residuary f79S, $50 represents not the
net profit, but the gross revenue! Mr..
Creswell, in short, has not got at the
measure at all.
What the cost Of working the lines
has been is not clear from the British
reports. The whole outlay, exclusive
of payments to the companies whose
lines were purchased, amounted to no
less than FL ,397, ,3S9, but a part Of this
is fairly chargeable to capital account;
Mr.. Chetwynd estimates the actual
working expenses at f47O,495, and
charges the remainder, f926, 1874. to cap.
ital expenditure. But this is deceptive
classification. Under capital expendi-
ture he places not only the cost OF ex-
tensions, amounting, as well as we can
make out, to fl6S,933, but all manner
of outlay upon the plant (such as the
very important item OF mainte.
nance and repair for which the
Western Union Company in America
spends q million dollars Year,, $l7,-
O94 for Engineering salaries. wages,
travelling and other expenses" which
we should certainly charge to current
expenditure, and the money spent for
preliminary instruction" and bonus
to learners" If we refer these and
various other items to the heads under
which they really belong, we shall find
the expense Of the British Postal Tele-
graph system during fourteen months
to be Gl ,2lS,456, and the income 979S,-
$50, leaving a deficiency of f4l9.S76.
That would be equivalent to loss OF

The Chicot Riet-steamss sunk.

NnPRIs, December 22.-Governor
Hadley, OF Arkansas, has as yet taken
no action in the Chicot riot, saying that
he will await report from his Adju.
tant General. About three hundred
negroes, variously armed with sYringes,
shotguns, pistols. &C., part Of whom
came from Arkansas by the ferryboat,
left here tonight on the evening boat
for Helena, ostensibly destined for that
point, but it is almost certainly known
that they are gong to Chicot to assist
their brethren. As yet there is no fur
ther intelligence from that point. The
negroes still hold the town.
Information has just been received
by Major Jno. Adams, that the steamer
Rose, . stern wheel boat, owned by the
Memphis and Arkansas River Packet
company, and plying in the New Orleans
and Arkansas river trade, struck hid
den obstruction on Wednesday, in the
Arkansas river, thirty miles above its
mouth, and sunk in four feet OF water.
She was valued at $4,000 and insured
in Pittsburgh offices for $4,000. Her
cargo, consisting Of 1000 bales Of cot.
ton for New Orleans, will be nearly all
saved, and it is expected that the boat
will be raised without great difficulty.

etors. Itdoes not 70 into the profits Of
mining, but the great advance ID owing
to the value of the coal in tie land, and
prices are based, really, on the present
and prospective value Of coal as an in
vestment.
Says the writer:
"The demand has doubled prices, and
yet the supply has not responded suffi-
ciently TO check the rising rate, and we
may ask, when the demand doubles will
prices again be multiplied Can we ex-
pect the next ten years will show differ
eut results from the last? Demand
(consumption) is population. Popula-
ton doubles by natural laws will dou-
BILE again in q given time, and continue
to double by operation of the same Law.
To keep pace, then, with the demand,
we must double the supply and con-
tinue the multiplication. Can our pres
ent supply fields Pittsburgh meet this
quick, increasing demand without
advancing prices2 They cannot.
They should be stimulated by higher
prices to produce largely; but if asked
to double within ten years, would Ger.
tainly double prices, and would fail to
meet the demand in the following ten
years at any price. They have not the
stock on hand; all the section bearing
first-class coal, known as 'Youghio-
gneny and No. Pittsburgh has been
worked over, or is now worked; large
inroads have been advanced within
thirty years from fifty TO one thousand
dollars per acre; the fixed stock already
enters largely into all the calculations
of manufacturing operations, and the
word unlimited DO longer applies to
this coal supply"
This being the case, he argues, the
people of the Ohio and Mississippi Val.
lev must look elsewhere for fuel, and
the Kanawha Valley will provide it for
them. There, says he, we find the best
coal in the world for all purposes, and
we may say in unlimited quantities;
coal for gas, steam, domestic use, man
uiacturing iron (without coking), splint
coal and camel; and Of the latter Pro
iessor Charles NJ. Cresson, OF Philadel'
phia, writes: ut is the best l have
ever examined, excepting only the
Boghead." The aggregate thickness
of the seams above river level is forty
feet. Emigration has passed over this
country; speculation had not found it.
An acre of Kanswna land contains
one million seven hundred and fifty
thousand (l,75O,OOO) bushels of Goa.
and is valued at less than one hundred
dollars per acre. An acre of Pittsburgh
coal contains one hundred and seventy
three thousand bushels, and is held at
one thousand dollars per acre. A cal
culation will show the present relative
value of coal in each section. 49,
By the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
and Ohio river, Kanswha mines can
deliver coal in this market at nine cents
per bushel. Pittsburgh claims fourteen
cents as only a fair and profitable price.

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH.

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
Mr.. Creswell, in his argument for the
consolidation OF the telegraph system
with the postoffice, relies chiefly upon
the experience Of Great Britain, where,
if his statements are correct, the Gov
ernment has derived from its telegraphs'
in the first year of the new system, a
net revenue Of more than three millions
OF dollars. II that were true, it would
be no rule for US. Great Britain is a
compact little manufacturing Island,
where the lines are short and the ratio
of messages to the whole population is
very high. The British figures quoted
by Mr.. Creswell represent An annual
transmission of about 100000 mes
sages, exclusive of the voluminous news
dispatches to the press; while in the
United States two years ago, with q
population nearly one-third greater than
that of the United Kingdom, the whole
number OF messages was about the same.
Considering the enormous length Of our
lines, and the vast area of agricultural
country in which there can not be q
very general popular use Of the tele-
graph, it is evident that the system
would befar more expensive in America
than it is in Europe.
But Mr.. CreswelTs statement Of the
pecuuiary result Of the consolidation in
England is not correct. He quotes
from the official report of Honorable
The is not an honorable George
Chetwynd, Receiver and Accountant
General Of the British Office" to show
the receipts and expenditures for the
fiscal year ending March 81, 1871, and
gives the following figures: Gross re
