A MINER DISCOVERS A COPPER WHISTLE
EMBEDDED IN AVEIN OF Coal One HUNDRED
FEtT BENEATH THE EARTH's SURFACE.-[From
the Scranton Republican, On Saturday af-
ternoon miner named Martin Loue hery,
working in No. 10 mine of the Pennsylvania
Coal Company's works, at PittstOn, while in
the act OF breaking massive piece OF co Il,
which he had dislodged, discoveries embed
ded in the centre Of it what appeared to be
a small wooden box Of an oklong shape.
Upon touching the box it crnmblcd into
dust like fungus, aud disclosed n copper
whistle having q flint mouth piece. and ia
other respects shaped like our ordinary tin
whistles. The miner frightened it UP, OPP
piled 1t to his mouth, and made it sound,
doubtless for the first time in centuries.
The spot where it lay is about one hum
dred feet beneath the surface of the earth.
How many seasons have been swept over The
terrestrial sphere by the neyerceasing tide
of time since this memento was laid care
lessIy aside by some hand OF former age is
a question to form food for the reflective
mind. The voice that was wont to charm
the single pipe into music must have been
hushed in the age of long ago. Yet the cop
per whistle remains to attest in favor Of the
science of geology. 1t should be preserved
10 some of our museums, or BY some histori-
cal society, together with 8 specimen OF the
structure in which it has slept for ages.
Who shall say 10 the face Of such a fact chat
our country has not known civilization
anterior to that imported here By Columbus,
or that race Of enlightened huma.n beings

Tng FUNDING BILL.-Tne Wing has again
opened its batteries upon the funding "bill.'
1t discusses 4 case now pending in the Su.
prenc Count of Appeals, and seems to exult
because, as it enormously suppose, that
bish tribunal is in "dilcmma.' We dis
sent from this conclusion, as we have from
all the teachings of the Wing concerning that
bill. We hold that the court may decide
either for or against tie plaintiffs i'll the case
reported by the Wing without being forced
to pronounce the funding bill unconsti!u'
tional; and we await the decision with per-
feet confidence that it will be right in itself
and consonant with law, with reason, and
with Justice.

The work of clearing out the channel of
the river has for some time been mainly de-
voted 10 the removal of the rocks opposite
and just below Rockets. Meantime the
lower bar has not been growing better. But
measures for its reduction are to be now
more vigorously prosecuted. The work that

city. We hear of 4 shipment Of 80. 900 bushels
from St. Louis to one Of the mills OF Rich

The terms. of course, are such as to justify
the transaction.
This instance and others that could be
named are the small beginn;ngs-the little
streams that will grow into rivers and make
a commerce in a few years that will exceed
the expectations Of very ardent persons.
The cost of transporting wheat from st.

Huntington, and rail- thence to Richmond, Is
about the same with the estimates of the
late JOSEPH G. CABELL for transportation by
water when the canal should be completed !!

following is condensed from letter of Gen
er,l G. n. BEAuREGARp, who is president OF
the New Orleans and Carro!Iton Railroad
Company. 10 IL gentleman in New York:
1.-THE firele>s locomotives have now been
in use TWO months on u portion Of that road
of about three miles. They have resulted
in 4 gain over horses Of twenty minutes to
the round trip. They are more manageable
than horses, being more readily stopped and
started. and give the driver opportunity to
make change and attend to the passengers.
They start with 125 pounds pressure, make
the round trip Of six miles, and get back to
the starting-point with 40 10 80 pounds. One
dummy is equal to nine mules. A calcula-
ton for twenty years makes the running
expenses of a road with these engines one
fourth of that of equal conveyance with
mules" .

The work OF organizing tax unions
is going on in good earnest oil over the
State. We have noticed. particularly,
the meetings which have recently been
held with this view in Charleston
County, Barnweli, Marion, Kershaw,
Orangeburg, Sumter, Fairfield and
Edgefeld, besides those of IN earlier
date. The people know what they
are about. They are, from sense Of
duty. overcoming their repugnance to
associations. This repugnance is na-
tural, under the circumstances. But
they recognize, now, that the indi.
vidual has not the same power and
independence that he once enjoyed. I.
He must cooperate with his neigh.
bors. Ho must learn that in union is
strength. There will be great use for
these unions. Issues ore before the
country which will require Us to work
as one man, We must strive to attain
harmony and unity, and be ready for
events which time is rapidly ripening.
We trust that Richland con tains q re-
speotable remnant of men who have not
bowed the knee to Baal or relinqnished
all sense OF their just rights. Let them
organize tomorrow, as their friends
have done IN other Counties, and get
ready to do their part in the coming
drama.

sources Of the Savacnah River by i'm
provement OF it's navigation. making
it naYigable to its head waters. It ia
estimated chat it would in short time
quadrupis the wealth Of the section
thus to be more effectualIy drained
A preliminary survey OF the upper
river is proposed. Upon this, when
properly made, and upon the vast ad.
vantages oeing exhibited. it is thought
shat it will not be difficult 10 get a
handsome appropriation by the Gene.

amount to 5.082, 331 acres. OF nearly
5000 square miles. It yielded in 1870
8, 3,543,7l1 bushels of corn. and 100. 345
bales of cotton, besides wheat, rye,
oats. potatoes. &c. It is a magnificent
territory in extent, being eqnal to that
OF Connecticut. Delaware and Rhode
Island, in produotiveness. Ths scheme
for Its improvement should not be
lost sight Of. Tho Counties in this
State bordering upon the river contain
more than half the whole area to be
benefited, and more than half the
crops to be moved. It is matter oi
deep interest to the people of these
Counties, and they will, we trust. not
be backward in advancing the scheme
OF improvement.
