thinner, till, in Iowa, the producture or
coal bearing strata, are only about one hun
bred feet Of thickness, and embrace but o
single coal bed Of workable character.
There are valuable deposits Of coal in
Kansas and Nebraska, and also in Arkan-
sas, which form part Of that great carbon
ferrous field, which beyond any question
Of doubt was once continuous and unbro-
ken from the Atlantic sea-board to Kansas,
and the Rio Grsnde, and from the St.
Lawrence to the mouth Of the Missippi
The Goals Of Arkansas approach the an
thracites % Pennsylvania in character
burning with an intense heat and little
fame. The strata exist in undulated 6ex-
lures, the followings being more gentle
than in the eastern portions Of the Penn
sylvania deposits.
The Goals of the Central and Western
basin are, az q general rule, inferior in
quality to those of the Allegheny field.
Most of the beds are impregnatcd with
sulphur to such an extent as to unfit them
for use in the furnace in q raw state, or
even after the action of coking. As house
fuels they rank high, but even for such
uses they are far inferior to many Of the
Goals Of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Vir-
ginia, and they can bear no comparison To
the dry burning bituminous Goals of the
lower measures of the Allegheny field, the
rich coking varietyof the Pittsburgh seam,
or the magnificent deposits Of the semibi.
luminous Goals Of Maryland, and the Bloss-
burg and Broad top region Of Pennsylva-
MIA.
There is a coal deposit in Michigan,
which lies in the centre of that State, be-
tween Lakes Superior and Huron, and in
cludes about 6, 900 to 10000 square miles
The coal measures are quite thin, and
there are but two workable beds in the re-
gion Of from three TO four feet in thick
pess. The Goals are highly bituminous in
character, burning with bright, strong
flame As yet little has been done in the
development Of this region-only few
mines being opened up in all.
coal fields enumerated above, far surpass
in extent anything in the world besides
The greatest coal deposits Of any nation OF
Europe do not exceed 20, 200 square miles
those of England scarcely reach 1000
while the total area of the coal rock Of the
Allegheny field, the Central field and the
Western field, aggregate the enormous
amount Of one hundred and fifty thousand
square miles, and they are located in the
richest and fairest portion of Gods earth.
The country in which these mineral re-
sources are found is capable Of supporting
half the present population Of the globe.
Coal is power. America is the future
workshop of the world, and the future
ruler Of the earth. A bountiful Provi-
dence has placed within our borders the
embodiment of power in the disposition
Of theee black diamonds which was never

LABORS' EXPERIENCE.

1t is an old and trite saying, that Zone
half the world don't know how the other
half lives" We we're forcibly reminded
of the truth Of this statement while listen
ing to the experience Of the delegates at
tending the recent session Of the Miners
National Association. 1t has been as
serted, time and again, that where no
organization exists, labor is Just as well
rewarded as in localities where unionism
holds its sway that it is far better recon-
pensed in the United States than m Great
Britain, and that but for the interfer-
ence of demagogues, peace would reign
In Warsaw, and the rights of the en-
ployed be fully recognized by the EN-
ployer How far these statements are
borne out by the following testimony,
given by men whose veracity is unimpeach-
able, who in the past, through force of
circumstances, have been compelled to
depend on such magnanimity, our readers
must judge for themselves. II eviction,
starvation, and the Wholesale employment

The Origin of Coal-No. 8.
nv ANDREW ROY.

The Great Central coal field lies within
the States OF illinois, Indiana aud western
Kentucky, and embraces fifty thousand
square miles, Of which thirty-tive thousand
are in the State Of Illinois, ten thousand
in Indiana and five thousand in Kentucky,
The Illinois deposits extend from Rock Is
land to Co.conda, and stretch across the
entire State from east to west The de-
posits Of indiana are continuation of the
Illinois field, the States being divided by
the Wabash River, and the Kentucky dis
trict, which is the southern limit of the
field, is divided from the Indiana deposits
by the Ohio river
The aggregate thickness Of the coal
measures of Illinois is about nine hundred
feet; but they are, in some places, capped
by the newer strata of the Tartary forma-
ton, and the drift, for thickness of three
hundred and fifty feet more. In the Ken
lucky portion of the field, the measures
are much thicker, owing to the dip of the
basin being in that line of direction.
The workable seams of coal in the Illi-
nois field do not exceed six in number, and
correspond to those Of the lower measures
Of the Allegheny coal field but in Ken
lucky, where the full thickness Of the coal
rock is nearly two thousand feet, the num-
Der of coal beds correspond to those of the
Ohio river, in the central portion of the
Allegheny field aud number from ten to
twelve Of mineral character In Indiana
there are six workable Goals with total
thickness Of thirty-three feet, but in many
of the regions of this, and other coal
fields, the seams are not continuous. being
often wanting where they are due nor ia
it possible to locate with any great degree
OF precision, the proper number and thick
ness OF beds whose faces, except on local
districts, have never yet been exposed to
the miners pick.
The Great Western coal field of Missou-
ri and Iowa is separated from the Central
or Illinois field by the Mississippi river.
This field contains forty thousand square
miles it reaches from the Mississippi riv-
err on the east to the Missouri on the west.
and is nearly three hundred miles long
The total thickness Of the coal measures
do not exceed six hundred and fifty feet.
and the number Of coal beds, all told, are
nine, Of which only three are considered
workable. Towards the northern portion

The approaching close Of another year

thanksgiving and acknowledgment 70 the
Almighty Ruler Of the universe Of the IN

among the rewards Of industry With lo-
cal exceptions health has been among the
blessings enjoyed. Tranquility at home
and peace with other nations have prevail
ed. Frugal industry is regainIng its mer-
tied rewards Gradually, but under the
Providence Of God, surely, as we trust, the
nation is recovering from the lingering re-
suits Of q dreadful civil strife. For these
and all the other mercies vOuchsafed, II
becomes US as q people 20 return heartfelt
and greatful acknowledgement, and with
our thanksgiving we may unite prayers for
the cessation of local and temporary suf-
fering. | therefore recommend, that on
Thursday, the 9th day Of November next,
the people meet in their respective places
uf worship to make their Acknowledgements
70 Almighty God for His bountles and His
protection, and to offer to Him prayers for
their continuance.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal Of the United
