Messrs. j. B. Lippincott s Co.,
Publishers, Philadelphia, have placed
us under obligations for copy of the
Life and Times of Sargent Smith
Prentiss, the crippled Yankee boy
who came to Mississippi seeking
home and fellowship like Robert j.
Walker,John Anthony Quitman, Chas.
Clarke, and many others; and whose
merit was at once recognized by
generous and appreciative people,
who took him by the hand and led
him onward and upward until on the
wings ofhis God-like genius he passed
to the head of the column, personify-
ing and typifying Mississippi in her
every pulse-beat and aspiration, while
her enthused and enchanted people
followed him with plaudits and bless
ings till his Respondent sun went
down.
By strange coincidence, just as
the solemn bells were tolIing for the
funeral of his opponent in the great
contested election case of As years
ago-1S37-while the stores were
closing in order that the people of
Aberdeen should be able to attend
en-. mdSse the funeral of Gen. Samuel
j, Gholson, who had full of years and
honors at last succumbed to the
gavel of the Great -Silencer, this
book came to us through the post
office, and we looked into ''the eyes
that spabe again''from its frontispiece,
of the eagle orator who met him at
the pearly gates.
Mr.. w. F. Tanning, of Natchez,
Miss, is the General Agent for Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana for this book,
which should grace every library in
our State.

BarginS Coal 10 Mobile.

Before the era OF railroads in the
South, Mobile and other points in
central and southern Alabama receiv
Ell coal by barges. These barge
were made near the coal fields and
iioated down the Warrior. Il is pro
posed to revive the industry. not
withstnnding the fact that railroads
are beginning to penetrate the Goa
fields, and promise in q short while
to transport at cheap rates all the
coal the cities and towns of Alabama
can consume.
Gen. j. W. Burke of Mobile, who
is well informed on the subject, gave
a Register reporter the other day an
interesting account of the coal fields
OF Walker county and tie traffic
down the river before the war. He
thinks the barge business will be re.
sumed.- Columbus Mden.
We have often written upon this
subject urging that steps be taken
by the capitalists Of Mobile to make
that city the great coaling station of
the South Atlantic coast.
1t is impossible for Mobile ever
again to achieve prominence as a
cotton centre, and in fact there is
little of prominence to be hoped for
or achieved in the handling ofstaples
and supremacy are only to
be sought in their manufacture.
With cheap coal and iron Mobile
would soon become one of the lead
leading manufacturing cities in the
Union, for she possesses facilities for
manufacturing unequaled by any
other sea-board town in America.

For many months he has stood at the

We go to press too soon after the
sad event to be able to more than
announce it. He will be buried from

that hour in honor of his memory.

| THE National Bankers at their
meeting in LouisNille few days ago,
united in the regulation howl of the
fraternity for the repeal of the COM
pulsory silver coinage act but they
will howl in vain. The silver dollar
has proven great blessing to the
people; it made resumption possible
and it to-day ties the hands of the
gold rings that prior to 1878 con-
trolled the finances of the country,
creating stringency or redundancy at
will, regardless of public necessities
and only looking to their own oppor-
tunities for gain.
BY virtue of the silver dollars the
interior markets of the South and
West are now abundantly supplied
with funds for moving their crops,
whereas few years ago nothing but
large bills could be found at harvest
time in market towns, and farmers
were forced to trade in order to secure
pay forproduce,or else carry home GER
titled checks in lieu of money. De-
pend upon it, the 18th Congress like
its predecessors will laugh at the
maudlin complaints Of Treasury Off
Gals of lack Of storage room for silver,
when it can be shown that the silver
in store is absolutely circulating in
the shape of currency Certificates"
and stand by the miners who are
digging the ore from the bowels of |
the earth; and stand by the farmers
who are enabled through its media |
to move their crops; and stand by !
the country that asks that the barrier
between the people and the rapaeity of
Wall street spectators and National
Bankers shall not be disturbed.

To assure a cheap coal supply it
will never do for a place to be de-
pendent upon long rail road hauls,
and the progress of every city in the
Union that is making great strides
in manufacturing is due to contigui.
ty to the coal fields or the fact that
coal is delivered at the wharves in,
stead of the railroad depots, and
mainly from fiat boats and barges.
Coal in transit to great port will
never cross navigable river, but
will be as inevitably dumped into
barges from the cars as that the
crossing in reached, if the distance
to be traversed is a great one,
The building of the Columbus and
Fayette Court House road, ought to
result in making the former town
great 'coal dump" for Mobile, de-
livering the black diamonds to the
barges at the wharf of that town at
such low rates as to make it exceed
ingly cheap at the Gulf entrepot,and
defy the competition of the Warrior
barges thai must encounter the noted
"Squaw shoals" in their journey to
the sea.
But while the wants of Mobile may
be supplied from the dump at Co.
umbus and the barges on the War;
rior, it must not be forgotten that
the Columbus supply will be con
trolled by the Georgia Pacific Com
pany, combination necessarily aus
tagonistic to the NJ. e O. r r. The |
odd Reliable has line of five hun
bred miles of coal consuming terri
lory tributary to it, that does not
upply bushel of coal from its own
mines, and it must, it seems to us,
arrange in the early future to con
troll the coal supply and delivery for
its own territory and constituency
This can be easily and cheaply done
by extending it's Aberdeen Branch to
the Alabama coal fields, and we have
very reason to believe that an in-
5xhaustible supply can be obtained
within forty miles of this city. The
extension cnn be as cheaply made as
my piece of railroad anywhere, and
I constructed, the aailroad could
lot only put in Barge line here to |
compete with the Georgia Pacific in
water delivery at port, but would be
