POTOMAC COAL.
thK EDITOR op THE ALEXANDRIA O A BETTE.
The paragraph in your paper of the 19th inst
ectin* the Coal beds of the Potomac, seems
r'\P attracted some attention. With a desire
h vr the extent of the riches of the upper Po
10 c in this remarkable article, I send you lor
Ration, an extract from the documents ac
‘ U anvin'g Mr. Mercer’s report to the House
^Representatives, April 17, 1834: being a letter
0 Alfred Cruger, accompanying “ a Report
‘ gstiinate for a navigable feeder up the North
B unch from Cumberland, to the mouth of Sa
vage River”
,\.:ll take the liberty to add, that, though th*
rt including the documents) has been er
2vely circulated, yet, from its voluminous
' Mracter, I am inclined to think it has been but
c even in our own town, which has so
, an interest in the matters therein con
VlaH. perhaps, occasionally, give you further
•nets from this interesting public document,
CX. whole of which is woithy an attentive pe
^l_ all(j none can rise from the examination
t #lthout admiration of the great research,
^. ring industry, and extended views of its au
, r w{,0 will, in future time, be acknowledged
Vthe benefactor of the upper regions of the Po
tomac. and, indeed, of the country at large.^
•Coal, which constitutes the great source of
’ itbo’f this region, may be said to be mex
k ubie. The vast and increasing importance
i‘t .is mineral, as a necessary article of fuel, as
0 , H from its peculiar application to manu
renders its use indispensable, and
*a it desirable that every facility should be
.,ven to its distribution.
5 -Bvan inspection of the accompanying maps,
„ •* || d*‘ perceived that Savage river, forcing a
" 'e through Savage mountain, unites itself
V i tie North Branch; after having formed
t.s junction, and receiving George’s creek, they
collectively force their way through Dan’s
m •mitain." It is where these disruptions of the
mountains have occurred, that coal is observa
b^on their faces. With the mouth of Savage
j> a centre, and a radius of 5 or 6 miles, a cir
cicould be described, comprising whaf may be
termed the heart of the coal district. The sides
of the mountain, in several instances, present a
declivity so abrupt, that coal may, by the in
termed .at** use of a slide, be thrown directly
from the bed, into the boats lying in the canal
or river.
•from the base, to the summit of these moon
tains, l distinct and separate veins of coal are
observable, of 2 feet 10 inches, 3 feet, 6 feet, and
from 10 to 11 feet respectively, increasing in
thickness as they ascend; the highest is 950 feet
above the mouth of Savage, and 1,272 above
Cumberland. This upper vein has been open
ed in several instances on the different moun
tains, and discovers itself in numerous others,
where torrents have removed the superstratum
of earth; these various indications on theoppo
ster^lges, prove that the vein is on one and the
same level. The coal is pure, lustrous, and rich,
and, fioin the peculiar advantages attending its
situation, can be furnished for £ to 1 cent, per
bushel, at the bed.* The large vein is supposed
to be the same as that opened near Frostburg,
and it is thought by those who are conversant
with its formation, to increase in depth as it pro
gresses southwardly. In addition to coal, iron
o • is found in quantities. Timber for ordinary
purposes, with valuable ship timber, abounds
throughout this district; white pine for masts
and spars, it is said, exists in large quantities.—
The surrounding country, including the glades,
isbetter adapted to raising sheep, than perhaps
any portion of (he United States.
•Note.—The present charge or toll to the pro
prietor ofthe mine, is one cent. But four mines
have been worked at all in this district. T wen
tjror thirty yards (running horizontally) in the
hill being the greatest depth. From these mines it
issaul a man can pick, shovel and wheel, 100 to
130 bushels per day. The demand is now very
United. When the business shall be extensively
carried on, it is highly probable the toll, to the
owner of the mine, will be reduced, and the
quantity per man he much increased; so that
the whole cost, delivered at the mouth of the
mine, will not exceed one, or one and a half
cents per bushel.

THE NEW YORK ELECTIONS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.
If there is any thing which can affortf strong
proof that the cause of Jacksonism is indeed at
a low ebb, it is the continued vauntings which
we have heard from the affiliated presses in re
lation to the New York elections. Has Jack
sonism, then, sunk so low, that it is content with
holding its own? Are its fortunes so desperate,
that the circumstance of its not having met with
total defeat every where is the subject of gratu
lation and triumph? For my part, if it needed
any more conclusive proof to show' to me the
forlorn and hopeless condition of the late domi
nant party in this country, that proof is furnish
ed by the conduct of the organs of that party in
regard to the elections which I have just men
tioned.
And what great triumph is this which is the
theme of their unbounded applause? What, in
truth, has Jacksonism accomplished in New
York? Why, forsooth, it has not been beaten!—
This constitutes the “ summum bonum.” For,
although it may have succeeded, as I grant it
has succeeded, by a large majority, yet this is
only what it has always done; ami <he mere iso
lated fact that it has achieved a victory, consti
tutes no just criterion whereby to determine
whether those elections furnish to them u suita
ble subject for felicitation and triumph. Has
the cause progressed? has its strength increased?
—and, if so, how much! Do the results demon
strate that popular opinion is flowing to, instead J
of ebbing from, that cause? A response to
these queries would «fibrd a clearer in.-ight in
to the subject. Let facts answer. The Whigs
have gained, and consequently their opponents
have lost, one member. That gain is a trille—a
mere drop in the ocean;—but still it may be in
: structive as to the real state of the affair. Fea
| thers can designate the direction of the wind,
'and any gain, however small, on either the one
I or the otlrer side, might be regarded as some
thing of a prognostic of the course to be taken
by the current of popular sentiment. But al
lowing, for argument sake, that Whiggism has
not gained, still it must be conceded that it
has not lost;—and the whole upshot of the affair,
then, is, that every thing in New York renuyns
in “ statu i/uo.1'—But remember that it remains
thus in New York alone. And this is the boast
ed triumph of Jacksonism? If the outworks of
a castle have been stormed, and the beleaguer
ed garrison has been driven to the last citadel,
as well might they shout paeans of victory be
cause there is still one spot not taken by the ene
my, as for that party to congratulate itself be
cause New York is still their own.
New York is powerful—mighty, if you will;
but still she is only one of twenty-four,—a sin
gle member of a great confederacy: and were
she to be regarded as immeasurably the supe
rior of any other one, singly, I apprehend that
none would venture to assert that she is supe
rior to the rest colltctirelu; and, unfortunately
for her. she has arrayed herself, in the present
struggle, against a combination of States, which
her gigantic strength wiil never be able to over
whelm and subdue. The huge Gulliver was
bound hand and foot by the Lilliputians—and,
if I mistake not, the smaller States of this con
federacy will, by concert and unanimity of ac
tion, neutralize the energies of the great New
York.
It is well for the sinking cause of Jacksonism
to make as much as it can of New York.—It
is the plank in the shipwreck, and drowning
wretches will cling to any support in their last
and dying struggle. That mariner would in
deed suffer from his f >lly who should regard
but one part of the heavens for his observations
on the weather. The politician who is anxious
to trim his canvass to favoring gales should not
confine the scope of his vision to New York
alone, or most egregiously will he be deceived.
Let him glance his eye in different directions all
around him, and he will see that there are other
quarters of the horizon which portend that New
York is not to give the coior to our sky, but
that the days of her tule have passed away, and
are now numbered with the things which have
been arrd are not.
Yes! let Jacksonism console itself as it may,
and as it can, by the tidings from New York.
The Wh igs have numbered their forces, and
feel no whit discouraged by the enumeration.
They have been marshalled; and
“ Their swords are a million—their bosoms
are one.”
Other elections have been held than those in
New York;—other battles have been fought—
other victors have been crowned—and Y\ hig
gism can boast of as many laurels as those who
are arrayed against it. Yes. despite of New
York, the people have pronounced the doom of
die ‘- Political Juggler,” and the Star of the
“ Albany Regency” is fast paling before the
lustre of a dawn as glorious as ever shone in
upon the darkness of a benighted country.—
Who has not heard the voices of hope which
cheer on the Whigs from every other section of
the Union. With few exceptions, the States
south of Mason’s and Dixon’s line have bid us
‘•God speed.” The “Great West” has not
proved recreant to her trust, and has been a
faithful sentinel on the watch-tower of Liberty.
New England, we know, stands firm and fast
as her beds of granite. Why, then, should we
despond because of .New \ ork? Our assurances
of victory are too strong to permit us to de
spair because we have not been victorious eve
ry ,chert. Let us, then, not permit a single
nerve to relax, a single effort to intermit, in the
noble cause of liberty and law in which we are
enlisted; but let us rally our men for each suc
cessive charge, in the same undaunted manner,
and cry them on as cheerily to the onset, as we
have ever done in the days of our recent tri
umphs._MARCO.

TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES.
Mh Editor:—Having for some time been a
member of the Temperance Society, I wish to
make a few remarks, through the medium of
your paper, concerning the benefits resulting
from the cause. I, Sir, was once a confirmed
drunkard, and have, by the will of God, been
brought to see the evil of my ways. I joined
the Alexandria Temperance Society, and feel
myself so bound by its inestimable laws that it
would be an utter impossibility to violate them.
It gives me heartfelt pleasure to see the Tempe
rance cause reviving in this town; and I would
advise the young men of the town to give their
aid in the promotion of the happy cause.
