INDEPENDENT PREACHING.

Are American Ministers Faithful TO Cenvic-
tion s-Are Their circumstance Favorable
to Independence OF Thought and Uttergncef e
The Methodist preachers yesterday spent an hour
discussing the circumstances OF ministerial inde-
pendence in this country. Rev. Mr. STRATroN led
the discussion, taking the ground tnat neither In
Europe nor in America are the circumstances OF the
ministry wholly such as TO encourage the most in
dependent thought and reest utteiance in the pull
pit sill there Is more faithful and independent
preaching tnan In any other part OF the world.
Rev. Dr. Foss thought the circumstances here
highly favorable to ministerial Independence ana
that there Is more OF 1t in America than elsewhere.
He knew rom experience that when q minister
the truth against any and every sin earlessy
END faithfully he Will be amply sustained by the
people. And there are no men more ready to hear
dcDuncations against particular SINS than those who
Rev. L. TAYLOR stated four propositions, which
affect the ministry In every land. These are their
cond,t,ons and surroundings. The iirst he Thought
bg.anced itself as between monarciical and demo-
CRITIC institutions, though III every country
where reform movement has taken place
the ministers invariably turn toward the people
for support The second Is more favorable here
than elsewhere. SO also ts the third anu without
intelligence he did believe there could be
dependent ministry But with the fourth or spiritual
freedom IN man, he Is bold and independent under
any and all circumstances. And the American
Church demands a higher tone OF Spirituality than
any other, and as consequence It's ministers are
tie most independent.
Rev. Mr.. BUCKLEY believed that the tyranny OF
democratic governments was as great in It's way as
that OF monarchies, and IN proof he instanced the
stopping OF the mouths OF ministers OF the
Methodist Church on the slavery question before
aud during part of the war, and the passage
by General Conference OF resolutions Of cen
sure upon Its members who should attend
abolition conventions lie also cited Instances With
In his own knowledge wnere ministers hal been
gagged in regard 10 intemperance. to dancing and
other evils as enectuay 6y political or secret socle
ties OF Masons and Odd Fellows as they could be
In monarcnIcal countries Nevertheless, In
point OF style, language earaestness, &c,
he believed that no class OF men
in the world are more faithful to conviction and
utterancc OF truth than the American ministry.
The subject continued, and MISS Randall, bv

[From the Philadelphia Ledger, jan 81
We have not full detaed report OF the coal pro
that the anthracite production will DO some
i6 600 600 tons, little less, perhapsan increase OF
she previous year. The total tonnage Of all kinds Of
coal will rather exceed tnan fall short OF 900 900

Notwithstanding this long suspension the
Reading Railroad shows Its wonderful capa-
fact that. In spite Of this interruption, it carried
some, 100000 TONS and but for the strike at the
mines would have touched 5000. coo tons. The Le-
high Valley Railroad, which Is next to the Reading
IN capacity, mate coal tonnage during the year or
uninterrupted business OF 3,622,433 tons, and an
increase ON Its tonnage oil the previous year OF
l,29I 0z6 tons. The production OF bituminous coal
for the past year Is DO 900 tons less Than the
previous year, Notwithstanding that the large duty
on foreign coal Is still retained The suspension
will be general we suppose, alter today, but there
is reason TO believe IL VIII be OF short duration.
The negotiations between the representatives Oh the
operators and those Of the worKingmen are believed
to be little other than guys, to make time
and use up any surplus OF coal that there
may be. The consumptiye demand for coal In 1871,
IL Is estimated, viii exceed by O10 tons that OF
$780, and there is both mining and carrying capacity
for all this within the year. From The last weekly
