SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION OF BrrUMr-
NOUS COAL.-A list OF one hundred aud
ninety-six disasters to sea going vessels from
fire in coal bunkers or In cargoes OF bttumi-
nous coal has been published as occurring
between October, 1869, and December. 1873.
All of the vessels were damaged aud many
OF them destroyed. Appended TO the list
was record from Lloyds of sixty q We sail
ing vessels and four steamers, loaded with
coal, which were reported missing" be-
tween July /, 1873, and February I, 1876.
Although the manner in which bituminous
coal stored in vessels becomes ignitei is still
a subject of discussion, 1t seems TO have been
demonstrated that combustion may be set
up I'm heaps of some kinds of bituminous
coal by chemical action, and that the cause
OF such combustion, whatever IL may be, is
at present beyond mans control. IL was as
serted some time ago that ''spontaneous COM
bustion" took place only in certain English
Goals dug from mines OF great depth. The
list published in the Herald shows that
almost every vessel burned or missing was
loaded with English coals-not more than
BALI a-dozen OF the vessels sailing from
American ports. The great loss In property
and I'm lives occasioned by these spontaneous
hres makes the question OF their origin one
Of great importance.

Letter from Mecklenburs County.

GAINESVILLE, February IL, 1876.
This Is one OF the most important interior
tobacco markets Of the State, and from its re.
mote location and inaccessibility is bat little
known and appreciated. The town issttu.
ated at the confluence of the Dan and Staun-
ton rivers, where the Roanoke Is formed,
and is thirty miles from any railroad. It Is
naturally the business centre of an extensive
aud fertile section ofcopntry, whose products
find here ready and remunerative market.
have been furnished with some statistics
In regard to the tobacco market here which
have Deyer before been published. For the
year 1875, at Webb's, Public, and River
warehouses, the receipts of loose tobacco
amounted to ], 233, 12t pounds, or equivalentto
about 1000 bogsheads of tobacco. This is q
good exhibit. The character Of the tobacco
sold here comprises variety of grades-the
dark, rich, and heavy shipping, the fine and
sweet manufacturing, the bright smoking,
the golden yellow wrapper, and pr1n.ings.
OF this latter class the sable sens OF Ham
seem to have an exhaustless supply. 4 -
There are here three well'constructed and
commodious warehouses, with sufficient
light, ventilation, and security for receiving,
handling, and selling. The buyers are not
numerous, but the bidding is spirited, and
prices are satisfactory to planters. There
are no manufactures here, but the loose
tobacco is reassorted, ordered, and priced for
SHIPMENT to other markets! The facilities for
freipht.transportatio are by batteaux up the
Dan to South Boston, on the Richmond and
DanyiIle railroad, and the charge from here
to Richmond is only fifty cents per one
hundred pounds. The merchandise ior
merchants here comes by the same route.
There are here twenty stores, and all ap'
parently conducting safe and lucrative busl'.
ness. The business-me are progressive
and enlightened. Numerous improvements
are In process of construction. The popua.
