supper Vein.
The Coal, Iron ore and Fire Clay |
found in tho above veins ] consider OF
superior quality.
Extensive veins OF coal and iron orc
were found within the last few years
upon the waters of Sinnemahoning
Creek, in consequence of which com
pany was organized and are now
erecting furnace at Wistar, two
miles above Kcating station.
That coal and iron ore, along the
line of the contemplated railroad Is
inexhaustible there can be no doubt
and as soon as q railroad is construct
ed, these vast sources OF wealth that
have been lying dormant in the bowels
of the earth will soon bo developed
capitalists will direct their attention
to these mines Of wealth and in a few
years Furnaces, Sawmills, Forgos, etc,
will spring up; the resources along
the line of the road be more fully de-
veloped, and the West branch Of the
Susquehanna teem with industry and
prosperity. 1a

Its contents in metallic iron are Al 25.
In comparing tho ores Of Kcating with
the Scottish ores, from the best of
which the above analysis was made,
we find that we can produce at least
as good, and doubtless better, an arti-
clio of iron In its crude state as can be
found in Europe, and in incalculablo
quantities. Hence it will clearly be
perceived that Keating township is
immensely wealthy in ores that will
some day employ hundreds Of work
men and millions of capital in its de-
velopment and manufacture into iron.
One seam Of iron ore in the Keating
Goa! basin will yield from 80 to As per
cent, and lays on the top of vein Of
coal. 1t can frequently be taken
down after tho coal has been mined
from under it, in which case the cost
Of mining would bc greatly reduced.
There are also immense bodies of kid
ney ore that will yield at least so per
cent. through the furnace.
In writing on this subject, DR.. Ure
says: "The profusion Of excellent coal
and its association in this and other
localities with iron stone, have pro-
cured hitherto for our country a
marked superiority over all others in
the iron trade" The facilities for
making iron where all the materials
are on the same ground cannot
be over estimated. Here coal, iron
ore and lime for fuxing are found
in abundance in close proximity. No
transportation will be required to get
the raw material to tho furnace, while
there are good facilities for shipping
the manufactured iron. The Danvillc
iron masters are obliged to bring some
Of their ores from the Lake Superior
mines, at cost of from $40 TO sl2
per ton, but in Keating township there
would be no such necessity, as all tho
different grades and qualities of ore
required are found together in one
vast field. This section of our county
will somo day bo a thickly populated
district, tho inhabitants of which will
bo engaged in or dependent on the
iron business. The sooner tho mines
are opened and the work begun, the
sooner will this result be brought
about.
Having given pretty thorough
showing Of the minerals contained on
the Karthaus property, ] will now
take up several other tracts lying on
the line of the Philadelphia and Erie
railroad in this township. The Wis
tar Coal Company have a very valua-
bic tract of land containing at tho least
calculation ono hundred and twenty
five million tons of the best bitumin-
GUS coal, suitable for tho manufacture
ofiron, either in its raw state or cokcd.
Tho iron stone on this tract will
amount to about three hundred and
seventy-fve million tons. Limestone
also Is fonnd in abundance, as on the
Karthaus property. Adjoining are the
lands Of d. Satterloe 4 Bro, tho three
valuable veins of coal and iron stone
extending through IL, which yield In
both the samo proportion as other
tracts described. The tract Of O. @.
McClelland lies in close proximity, un-
derlaid with the same rich veins. All
of these tracts afford excellent sites
for the location Of works Of oil kinds
necessary 70 carry on the manufacturs
Of iron.

BILE extent before the manufacture OF
iron is fully under way in this country
--and it will be one progressive step
toward the contamination of my ex-
pectations. There is now demand
for our ores, and If owners can realize
even fifty cents per ton at the railroad,
there is no better investment to be
had. Thorc can be-, with a sufficient
force, five hundred tons taken out Of
the mines daily, which would give an
income of $3.50 por day, or s75 900 for
one year 600 days) What better in
vestment can be wished for? This is
comparatively small calculation for
mining operations. Thousands Of tons
can be mined daily if market can be
found for it, and though the iron bust
ness has had a severe check during
the recent panic, it will soon spring
up again and be prosecuted with more
vigor than ever, and there is no doubt
that an immense quantity Of our ore
win within the next year or two find
a ready market.
Regarding our coal supply, we have
as good quality and as large quan-
tity of bituminous coal as Bossburg,
Tioga, Arnot, Morris Run and Fall
Brook, (Tioga county, each of which
places turns out from 1000 TO 1900
tons per day. The coal business can
be prosecuted as well and as profita-
bly, in Clinton as in Tioga county, and
if men of enterprise and capital would
open up and develop our mineral lands,
their reward would be speedily forth
coming
All the coal ores are classed as the car
Donate of iron, or slate ores. OF these
ores all the iron produced by England,
Scotland and Wales is manufactured
all mined from the coal measures.
They yield from 80 TO 35 and 55 per
cent. Of metallic iron, and have been
thoroughly tested by eminent scien-
lists in several elaborate analyses.--

Farmers are behind the average bust
ness man in keeping themselves informed
what others in the same line are doing.
If any man would keep up with the age
he must not seclude himself entirely with
in the boundary of his own premises. 1t
is moral duty of the farmer, to. himself
and family, to keep breast of the
improvements and to inform himself what
others are about. Much, very much, can
be learned from the agricultural press,
but it is necessary to see with ones own
eyes. A farmer may read about improve
ments in cattle until his eyes grow dim
with age, and it will not effect his mind
with half the force that it will to see a
collection of animals that illustrate such
improvements. Seeing carries conviction.
1t is so with all other matter of farming,
crops of grain, dairy products and ma
chinery and implements. A comparison
with his own products of the same class
or his own implements and methods tells
him whether he is behind the age. The
very best and cheapest way in which the
farmer can let new light into his benight-
ed soul, is to go to good Fair-a real
agricultural exhibition-not horse trot,
with few cattle, sheep and pigs annexed,
and where the trials of speed overshadow
everything else, but Fair where each
department is kept in its proper and le-
climate place. 1t is not excepted that
farmers can spend the whole fall in run
ming after Fairs; but they can attend one
good one, and more, if convenient. We
think the rest and change of air and
scenery, with little rubbing against The
world, will prove sufficient equivalent
for the expenditure of money and time,
and the farmer who cannot learn some
ching of value to himself must be dull ill.,
deed. Many of the agricultural Fairs
held in this country are not what they
should be in all respects. We must learn
to overlook differences of opinion as to the
best way to conduct such things, and to
profit by what is good. If the Fairs are not
right in all respects it is, to some extent,
the fault of the farmers why stay away
and leave them to be managed by amateurs
or jockeys. 1t does not look well for the
farmer to complain when he leaves all the
care and expense to be borne by others.

A Case for Lynching.
From the Meridian Mercury.

Day before yesterday, mulatto,
named Perry Greenlea, was on trial be-
fore Adam Calvert, Justice of the Peace,
in Kemper county, for an attempt to
commit rape upon daughter of George
ed the girls bed room at night Her
screens aroused her father, who shot at
him as he ran off. Greenlea was employ
ed by Mr.. George Calvert as a laborer
A watch was set for him, and some time
during the night he returned to his
sleeping apartment to get his clothes and
was captured. He was held to give bail
in $500, and failing to find suretes, was
to be brought here to be jailed.
LATER! LYNCH LAW ENFORCED.
Extracts from letter to the Mercury.
The people of the neighborhood where
the offence was committed, in the mean
time, had become aroused and excited
and had collected together, both black
and white. About 80 had collected,
and the excitement increasing, they start
ed towards DeKalb in body, with an
evident determination of hanging the
prisoner. The posse was Immediately
overpowered and the prisoner taken
charge of by the determined people,
every man intent upon executing sum-
mary justice on him then and there.
He was taken to white oak tree having
a limb to suit the executioners' purpose
lie was asker if he hand anything to say.
He said he was the same man Mr.. Calvert
had shot at the night before as he escaped
from the house where he had made the
attempt for which he was about to suffer,
and asked Mr.. Calvert to forgive him.
He said that he had killed one man in
Alabama, which had caused him great
trouble. He said he had been taken up
in Meridian not long ago, and kept sever
al days in prison and turned loose He
cautioned the people of his own race who
were there participating in his execution,
to take warning by his fate. He was put
on a horse with his hands tied behind
him, the intention being to give him a
drop off the horse, but he fell off before
the complete preparation could be made
He enquired as he regained his feet from
the fall, if "they saw any fun in that %
To make short work of it, the rope was
thrown over limb, and, with one end
about his neck, and the olher in the |
hands of many men, they hauled say
and pulled him up, literally choking him
to death.
The negroes on the ground said that
such men as Greenlea were the cause of |
their race getting into difficulties and |
troubles with the whites, and they were
for hanging all such.

Our favorite East Mississippi contribu-
tor, =" William" in his letter to-day ex-
presses himself with his usual candor
upon public questions. He deprecates
the excitement tending to violence, prev
alent in Alabama directly on the borders
of Mississippi. Without discussing the
causes of this condition of society in
Alabama, We would cite it as warning
to the people of all parties in our own
State. At this moment there are not
twenty-five federal soldiers in the State.
1t is the pride of her people that they
can be, and are, law of peace and
order unto themselves.
The example of our sister States that
have worked out their deliverance from
misrule and corrupt administration is re-
plete with wholesome instruction to Mis-
sissippians. 1t is but little while since
Missouri, Tennessee, North Carolina,
Georgia, Texas and Arkansas were in a
condition almost, if not quite, as wretched
as THAT of Louisiana. Now they have as
complete control of their State and local
governments as New \ ork or Ohio. They
worked out their redemption with pa
thence and forbearance. They watched
the opportunity and improved it. None
Of them waded to the desired goal in
blood; and yet they reached it, some of
them, sooner than theyanticipated. Let
US not despair of Mississippi.

HmPoreame aGovememf I'm Louis
lana.

In Terrebonne parish, the whites and
blacks-the capitalists and the laborers-
have agreed to dismiss their personal and
race quarrels, and to recognize that they
are citizens of the same commonwealth,
with interests sointertwined and mutually
dependent that neither can prosper with
out the other-and to unite in the support
of ticket or the basis Of equal repre-
sentation and reciprocal recognition of
each others rights. We have copied
below the details of this adjustment from
the New Orleans Picayune, with its en-
spicuous white line paper in Louisiana.
The Picayune suggestively asks sis it not
9 probable that Terrebonne has struck
q out the course which shall lead US from
= the wilderness ?" The answer depends
upon whether it is pursued with patience
and constancy. A spasmodie movement,
to be followed by "apostolic blows" will
not solve the problem. Something must
be accomplished by firmness and forbear-
ance, and by the good physician, Time,
which often brings healing on its wings,
when every other restorer fails. After
all, peace has its victories no less renown-
ed than war; and this Terrebonne move
m ent may be one of them:

The Stale University.

In our last issue, We copied with APP
prevail a recommendation of Gen A. p.
Stewart for the Chancellorship of the
University of Mississippi We have re-
CURED to the subject to say that if the
Trustees of the institution wish to dispel
the mists which have lowered around it
and obscured its prospects, let them call
to the position, the ablest and most sue
cessful educator our State has ever boast
ed, THOMAS S. GATHRIGHT. The an
nouncement of his selection would be the
herald of bright day for an institution
whose fame is still dear to the hearts of
Mississippians.

THE ELECTIONS Next rEAR.

The Enterprise Courier in no captious
spirit, asks US what we would do to re-
claim the State from misrule. The ques-
ton is easily answered. The perform
ance is more difficult.
Except special elections, there will
be none until elections are held for
members of the Legislature and Con-
gress next fall Our advice to the
friends of reform in the several counties
would be, 10 60 to work when the proper
time arrives, to carry the elections Bring
out as candidates, your strongest and
most available men, having in view the
Jefersonian standard of honesty, capa-
bility and fidelity to the State.
Each county will be more competent to
decide It's plan of canvass, and the issues on
which it can best win the fight than any
other for it. In this mode of canvass
they will not be embarrassed by State
ticket. Clark can choose her own bat
tie ground, Marshall hers, Monroe hers,
and Neshoba hers. There is no occasion
for bed Of Procrustes to which all must
be fitted-either by being cut off shorter
or drawn out longer. The reclamation
Of the State from misrule and oppressive
taxation should be the objective point for
the concentration Of all their energies.
Reason would condemn a course of
action, or party shibboleth, that would
preclude assistance from any quarter.
We would draw no dead Zine" with the
warming, cross over and you will be shot.
If any voter. moved by patriotic desire
to promote the true interests of the State,
seeks utilization with us in the attainment
of that object, God forbid that we should
'1ook into his face to tell the color of his
skin"
We have observed that in Terrebonne
Parish, Louisiana, the white men, and the
colored men, have united in framing
ticket which represents white and black,
capital and labor In some of our coun-
ties, the same plan might be adopted with
good effect. We do not recommend it,
nor oppose it; but cite it to commend the
spirit at the bottom of it, which prefers
a victory for the right to the qualification
of a prejudice. And we cite it as an
example of what the foes of usurpation
and dishonest government are doing in
that State where the whites are as loyal
to their race and commonwealth, and as
valiant in the face of danger as anywhere
else. Our idea is that the s,trest way to
victory is the best; and of this the peo
pie of each locality are the most compe-
tent judges.
With the law-making department of
our State administration in honest and
capable hands, the good ship can be
steered clear of shoals and quicksands
and eventually moored into a safe port.
