ITbese shipments do not include the local

L
consumption, which is very large. The in
habitants along the Kanawha and New
river have discontinued the use OF wood,
and now burn in their CRATES altogether
coal. Besides, large amount OF coal Is
consumed by the Kanawha Salt, Bromide,
other manufactures.
It will be observed from this statement
that the larger percentage OF increase
during 1876 occurs in east-bound shipments
from the James river wharTes, attesting the
growing favor with which the New river
and Kanawha Goals are received in the east
ern markets, and especially the camel,
splint, and gas Goals. This trade is assum-
ing still larger proportions under the man
agement of the Chesapeake and Ohio Coal
Agency recently established in New York
city, their orders now exceeding the present
ability Of the mines to ship, from want Of
labor, (which, however, is coming in from
the other coal districts.
The coal measures OF West Virginia are
well known to the readers OF this Journal,
both from Its own correspondence and from
official reports. 1t will be pertinent, how
ever, to state that the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad trayerses these deposits for over;
one hundred miles with an immense coal
acreage on either sideextending to the limits
OF this formation In Kentucky westward
and to the foothills Of the Allegheny Noun
itains eastward. The deep valleys OF the.
New and Kanawha rivers (along which the
road is pcated) pass obliquefy across these;
fields in their greatest width, and expose.
therichest varieties OF their Goals. Together.
with those OF the tributary streams, these.
valleys afford unusual facilities for access
and for. mining and drainage. In no
mineral region Of the United States are
coal-mines opened at less first cost, and In
few can coal be 80 cheaply mined. s3sss s.s
. The coal measures OF this district are
locally known under Two main subs
divisions viz, the bitnmi nous and smith
Goals OF New river, and the eannels, gas,
spIint, and locomotive steam Goals ot the
Kanawha. The New river Goals comprise:
the q lower measures, q described In M. 7.

(The writer here gives detailed account
Of the mines at present operated along the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway, upon New
and Kanawha rivers. They are twenty in
number. We, state their names and dis
tance from Richmond Quinnemont, 297
miles; New-Riyer Coal Company, aos miles;
Longdale Coal and Iron Company, 3l2

straughan mine, 344; the Upper Creek Com
pany, a45; Paint-Cree mines, S48; Ka-
nawha Semi Camel Company, 34s; Blacks

Company, 355; Coalmont mine, 356; Lewis
ton Company, Lewiston station; and Pey-
ton mine, Coal river. '"'
The writer publishes tables OF chemical
analyses Of the Goals Of Kanawha, which
show their extraordinary richness. They
are too technical for general readers.]
The Kanawha field is fortunate in having
an outlet by water rs well as rail, and
large part OF its production goes to market
| by the Kanawha and Ohio rivers. In the
wear 1875 the amount which was thus ship
bed was about 100000 tons. Our returns
| for 1876 are not yet in, but the increased
output of the region has been prlnclpaliy
on the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio raul
road, and has gone over that route to marker.
Though the amount of this coal coming
East is yet comparatively small (nearly q
fourth of million tons), its rapid increase,
while the production of nearly all other
coal-felds has been diminishing their out
put, is, when taken in connection with the
great distance these Goals have to come, the
very highest evidence Of their excellent
quality and growing popularity. That the
liberal policy Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad, though probably not Immediately
profitable, will ultimately build UP trade
that will add largely te the revenues OF the
road, cannot be questioned in the face OF
the above facts.

The articles that have appeared in the
Dispatch lately upon the Eastern question
and relative subjects have been deeply in
teresting to me, as, indeed, everything is
upon this subject. Russia will not only take
Constantinople for the purpose OF having
an outlet to the "great sea" for her COM
merce, as stated by s'Geography," which
would be iustifable to most minds.
but because it is one OF the most
strategic points. in Z her reach with a
view to carving out her great destiny
az a people, which is to conquer Europe.
The possession of Constantinople would be
kew to both east and west. Her ships OF
war could then have full scopeln the Medl-
erranean-could close the outlets OF the
west bordering on the sea, and take posses
sion of and close the Straits OF Gibralter ;
so preventing her antagonists from getting
into her rear while she, by forming an alll-
ance with France could defantly and sue
cessfully conquer the Powers OF Europe.
This will be done when France gets ready
to strike Pussia, and win back her lost ter
ritory, prestige, power, and glory as a
nation. Not only conquering Prussia

and seers of the earth centuries ago, die

The return OF the IsraeIite to his own ma
tive, God-covenanted land is involved in this
same question, and Engand is to be in the
future, as in the past, the friend OF the Jew
and his objects; and in order to perform
this duty she IS bound to take possession OF
Syria, which cannot be done by aiding, but
by opposing Russia; which will eventuate
in a compromise, giving to England what
she wants, both for the advantage OF her
rich friend the Jew and her empire in the
East.
