A FATAL MIsTAKE.-The leprous
and thrice accursed scoundrels who,
when the brave and chivalrous Con-
federates laid down their arms, tlocked
to the South and used the stupid and
credulous negro to rob the Southern
people of what little was left them, are
always ready at the jump to escape to
the North with their plumber, and, no
doubt, dream of years Of peace and
luxury in the enjoyment of their
thieveries. But they make n fatal
mistake-when the reaction and res
toration of the popular reason arrives,
the North will be quite as unwhole-
some to these goddess villains as the
South-indeed, no locality or spot on
the whole "boundless continentn will
afford them shelter. Their sins against
God and treason against their race
as we'll as against human society, and
their cowardly robberies of the widows
and children of those who fell in a
civil war inaugurated by themselves,
place these carpet-bag miscreants be-
You'd the pale of human mercy, and we
give them fair warning that even their
prayers to the rocks aud mountains to
fall on and hide them from the popular
retribution will be in vain.-fN. Y.

A Coal PIT ON FIRE FOR HUNDRED
HEARs.-0ne of the most curious
phenomena in connection with coal
mining is exhibited at the Bank colliery,
near Rotterdam, the property of Earl
Fitzwilliam. The pit caught fire one
hundred years ago, and all etfarts of
the workmen at the time and subse-
quently have been quite Intellectual to
extinguish it. A short time ago it was
ascertained that the flames were APP
preaching the bottom of the shaft, aad
it was then resolved, if possible, to stay
their progress, so that they might not
extend to other parts of the workings.
At length the superintendent of col
herles, Mr.. t. Cooper, conceived the
idea of building wall to shut in the
fire, and IN order to ascertain the best
site for this wall several of the officials
crept OH their hands and knees through
the dense, sitting smoke as far as pos
sible into the workings. Their efforts
Were successful, and the wall is now
completed nearly 1000 yards in length,
and varying from nine inches to five
feet in thickness. At a distance vary
Ing from thirty to fifty yards metal
pipes have been inserted in this wall,
which are securely plugged at the. end,
SO that at any time, by removing the
Plugs, the state of the air on the side
OF the Ere, and even the position of the
nre itself, can be ascertained. So in
tense is the heat arising from this fire
mat people possessing gardens above
the colliery declare that the growth of
plants is materially affected, and that
they are enabled to obtain two and
s,iree crops every year. London

COMING TO THE PoINT.--A gentle
man once wrote to a lady whom he had
offended by his dilatoriness, and who
for long time had refused to speak to
him. His letter was earnest in suppli-
cations for forgiveness. 1t concluded
thus
"One word from your lips will make
me happy. When and where will you
speak it?'
Her laconic answer was
"Next Wednesday, at the alter"
TO which, he sent the following equal
ly laconic reply

CoTToN CROP OF 1S69.-The value of
the cotton crop of 1869, as compared
with tile great yield of 1859, enforces
this lesson of self-dependence and
equilibrium of rural production. In
1859, 2,l54 800, 800 pounds at IL cents
realized S237 ,030, 2s8; in 1869, 1885,
100000 pounds at % cents realized
$780,, 100000. Adopting these figures
as sufficiently accurate for the pur-
poses of this comparison, the crop of
ten years ago brought $65, $780, 12 less
than the present one, though the guam
tity was ia ,s2O,sO0 pounds greater
Suppose the next crop Ie7U should
reach 3,500,000 bales of AGO pounds
worth Is cents per pound, the total
value would be S24l 800, OOO-a loss of
S6l 100, 900, upon an increase of half q
million bales. To this sum of $751;
100000, an additional Gloss" would be
added for purchases of supplies abroad
which might have been grown at home.
The cotton interest has already at
tanned It's maximum of value aud profit
for the present, and the cotton supply
of the world has nearly reached the
limit of normal consumption at
lower price somewhat larger con-
sumption might result; a largely in
creased supply would occasion disaster
and huctuation in production, disad-
vantageous alike to planter and manu-
facturer.-[A Agricultural Report, 1869.
NoTE.-The loss is greater than cal
culated-S6l, 100000. This was based
on crop of $500, 900 instead of 4,OO0,-
900, which it was. Based upon 4,000,-
900 bales the loss would be over $780,
100000.
