WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 18C9.

Coal and Iron Greene and Monroe Counties. From actual survey and scientific research, it has been demonstrated that all the iron ore, and four-fifths of the coal in Greene county, lies ou

the east, or Monroe county side of

White River. We have inexhaustible beds of iron, and the block coal to smelt it, in Van Buren townshi p, and the t".nie will soon come

when the iires of the iron furnr.ee j

will illumine our beantilui ci;v, if capitalists can be brought to t;ee their own interests. The following, with reference to Greene county, applies to our o-.vn county of Monroe, for wc have the timber, the iron and coal, with a young city waiting to welcome energetic men of capital : THE TIMBER. Monroe and Greene counties abound in titaber. The country is rolling, and covered with forests. In'the bottoms, walnut is extensively fonnd, while on the hills, oak, poplar, ash, and other varieties abound. The walnut will be very -valuable to cabinet and furniture

dealers, and already the agents of

prominent houses are traveling through the country buying it. The timber oa a great many fa 'ras will more than pay for them. This timber interest, if properly nurtured, can be made very profitable to our city. THE COAL. Greene is one of the largest counties in the State, and will sooner or later be one of the best. It contains 540 square miles of territory. Its soil is fertile, but seems to have been no index to the character of the minerals beneath it. Although known to abound in iron ore, it is but recently that it was supposed to contain extensive beds -of coal, and even now the extent and character of the deposits are wholly undefined. Enough is known, however, to prove that there is not only coal there but plenty of it, and that of the best qualities, from the poorest to the best. The river, running almost north and south, divides the county, and the railroad passing through t he west side. In the middle of the river, a few inche3 below water mark

have been found the outcre ppings of

a vein of coal. I hen at various distances from the river, nearly to ihe Knox county line, six other distinct veins of coal are met with, iaa being six feet and the other seven feet in thickness. The third these veins is the block coal, so valuable for smelting iron. As yet none of these rich veins hav3 been examined thoroughly, by either practical of scientific men. Nothing has been seen of them except the outcropping in the bluffs and hiTs, and although banks have been worked to some extent, they have never been penetrated far enough to er.able the extent of the veins to be certainly determined. Coal has

bten found though, in almost; every j js.rt of the western side of Greene j county. On the eastern sic e it Is ;

not met with so frequently, nor in such extensive quantities, but still there is a great deal of it. Several

banks have been opened witl in two.

or three ima of Bloomfield, which have supplied a number of citizens. Wood, however, is so cheap that coal is but little used. The examination of the country has been 30 slight and 110 practical ta,t ever having been applied, it is impassible to forna any definite idea of the coal deposits of Greene count v. bat

surface indications go to show that !

in no other place does the groat coal belt which sweeps through the western portion of ihe Stafcj attain freater magnitude. The people ave not yet begun to appreciate the value of coal, but so soon as the railroad furnishes a market, we may expect them to awaken and take some measures to develope their resources. THE IKON ORE. But if the people of Greene county were not aware of the exigence of coal under them, they have for year.j known that the CDunty, especially the ea:it side, abounded in iron ore. It is met with everywhere ; every hill is full of it, and in every valley and gulch it crops out. It is of various kinds, chiefly, however, the hematite, Mbich is found in great quantities ; there are also, kidney, pipe and o.her ore3, virying in richness from wenty-five to sixty per cent. More :": an twenty years ago a blast u rnace vas put up on liiY-land meek, a mjle or two east of IHoomfield. This was opiated for a number of yeara, and turned out an excellent qaality of mi l iron. During a great part of the time it was in operation, Messrs. Chauncoy Rose and E. J, Peck, of Torre Haute, and Indianapolis, owned it. Tvie pig iron was floated down the

creek to the Wabash and Erie ("anal, a mile distant, and when the canal went down, about ten years 11 go, there being no means of transportation, Mr. Rose and Peck were compelled to suspend operations. The effect was disastrous to Bloomfield, and the county generally, tor quite u village had sprung up about the furnace, which was immediately deserted, and has since been torn down. The furnace was worked entirely with charcoal, it then being thought impossible to make iron with raw coal, even if its existence there had been known. In using Lake Superior or Missouri ores, it is necessary to mix with them the hematite ore, which is an oxide of iron. To do this, these ores have

'frequently to be conveyed a long distance, which involves heavy expense. But here, in Greene county, :he iron manufacturer can find his oxides and carbonates right together,

and there is no necessity fr.r mixing with ore brought from a distance of a thousand miles. What is stranger still, it is claimed that the use of the kidney :re does away wi:h the necessity of limestone for fluxing. Whether this is true, or not, we will not undertake to say, but even if not, there is plenty of limestone within a short distance. The furnace near Bloomfield "the Richland" it was called demonstrated beyond a doubt ti e value of the ore and the ease with which it could be worked. It yielded from forty to sixty otT cent. Such facilities for making iron are not often enjoyed by any district. Everything is there, the ores, limestone for fluxing and coal for smelting. There is no reason why the best iron should not be made in Greene county, or at Blocmington, cheaper than in any other place on the contiuent.

A Festive Cuss Attends the Alumni Supper His ImpressionsVictuals, Beauty and Other Tidings. The following letter, picked up on the sidewalk, is deemed worthy of publication ; and, after suppressing matters of a personal character, we give it a. place in our columns : Bloomington, Ind., July 1, 1EGS. Dear G. The morning is wet and misty, but the bees are busy among the catalpa blossoms, and the little drops that cling to the houghs of the cedars, are trembling with fear at the approach of the sun. Last night was "the merriest,inaddest nigat' &c, for was it not the night cf the Alumni Supper? If I meet a friend, this morning, and he replies ':No," when asked if he was there, he will fall at least fifty per cent, in my estimation, whether he be conscious of his own insignificance or not. "See ."Naples, and die;" eat supper with the Alumni of the University, and eat no more. The new theory of hygiene is, that there is more danger in eating too li ttle than in eating too much, consequently, we are ill veil at our house, this morning. But yon will want to know something about the ladies, and how they were dressed. If I could only find an old copy of the X.Y. Herald, containing one of those famous letters of its Jenkins, describing receptions in Washington City, just to get at the names of things, you know, I could linger a long time on this captivating subject. As it is, I am almost dumb, and must coniiue myself to "glittering generalities." The Court of the First Napoleon, was said, by Las Casas, to be the most splendid the world ever saw, but that was sixty years ago, and mankind not only grows weaker and wiser every year, but also wittier, and the fairer half of it prettier for that reason, although comparisons are odious, it is tolerably certain that the aforesaid Court would have been rusticity itself, in comparison with the display at the College Chapel last night. Probably the science of the toilet has also made some little advance, but it is not likely that lovely creatures, for whom nature has clone so much, would resort to art for anything to heighten their charmft. Lace from Marsailles, pearls from the Orient, gold from California, and diamonds from Bra;;il,are all the proper thing, but I allude to rouge, palpi &c. As to the supper, I will dispatch that quicker than I did last night. "The drinkin' wasn't much, but the atin' was heavenly." The sight of a lady eating, used to fill Lord Byroa with disgust. What would the poor follow have done last night ? Had he lived through the disgust, he would have had proper cause for dying from sympathy. Then the celerity and devotion of the Seniors, and other waiters, .must have honorable mention. Nc giggling, no chaffering, no clashing, no favoritism, nothing but rigid faces and a i-tern and inflexible adherence to duty. Such proficiency can only be attained by long and arduous drill. One would have supposed them waiters to the manor born. Everything passed off pleasantly, with no more mishs.p than are common to such occasions. In promenading, some skill was required to avoici the trails, and one lady, who

had walked down the long center aisle, found herself brought to a sudden stand s:ill, by a pntleman at the other end, who had, inadvertantly, stepped :n her trail. It took the gentleman some time to realize the situation, and, worst of all, the distance was too great for a verbal apology, and he had to rosovt. to pantomime. All who attended the Supper, felt that it was good 1:0 be -here, and many did nos reach thr homes until long after the clock had chimed the midnight hour. But this letter is long enough, so, for the present, I subscribe myself Your festive friend, T.

CoNS'JITUTJONAf, AME SDMEST.The entire number of States is now thirty-seven, and the ratification by three-fourths of these States of the amendment, f;s necessary' to its becoming a fixed portion of the Constitution, and an absolute law. Florida having ratified, and being only the twenty-fifth Stat:? that has done so, the votes of three more States are required .0 give it force, as the requisite two-thirds, of the whole number ara twenty-eight. These three are already practically secured by the terms of the last Reconstruction act, which has received the approval of rae President, and under which Texas, Virginia and Mississippi are compelled to accept the amendment prior to their perfect ro -establishment as members of lYn Union. There arc also some oilier States

which, upon the re-assembling of

their Legislatures, will ratify the act, making more t.ian the essential two-thirds. So that by the time another session of Congress is- held, universal suffrage will, it is hoped, be declared the law of the; land, and all male citizens of the United States, over the age of twenty-one years, will Le entitled to vote,

without regard to the accidents of

race or color.

Not in "he Bill. A performance came off at Anbury University, last week, which was not in the published programme. A number of studcnts,it seems, wrrs anxious to celebrate tue close of the Collegiate year, in a manner not quite so staid, as the regular stereotyped performances. In accordance with this idea, they proceeded on Wednesday night to hunt up a heavy road wagon, which they hauled to the College Campus, anil after reducing it to its original parts, proceeded with much difficulty and labor, to elevate it, piecv by piece, to the roof of the build ng, in the rear of the enpola, whpre it was put together again, with the exception of one wheel, whijL escaped and jumped from the rcof to the ground, vher3 it alighted with an amazing "thud." Our larks then proceeded to descend, preexled by a

certain "Mack." Loir ng to the head of the stairway, "."Slack" cautiously thrust his head th 'ough the door and lighted a match to see if the wav was clear. Imair nine that

he heard some one bioathing, he exclaimed "Who in the h 1 is there." "One that has the righ;: to be here," was the answer, in Prsident Bowman's well-known voice. Then there was scampering in hot haste. This way, and that way, they went tumbling, ard it is said that "Mack" jumped fariher than the wheel did. Some escaped by climbing down the lightning rod, while others attempted to hide in the building. One ay one Dr. Bowman drew them from their hiding places, administering a fathprly rebuke as he did so. Finding young I) in the Library, he said "Why, D , I ara surprised to find you here." "Well, Doctor, I am a great deal more surprised to find you here," was the reply. Next day the culprits were required to appear at sharp four o'clock in the afternoon, aid restore the wagon to terra jinna in the presence of the assembled Faculty and students, which they did, with much toil and not a little sweat. They were tdso required to reimburse the owner of the wagon for his loss of time, and for the damage done the wagon, which they cheerfully did. Jim Spurgiu photographed the scene. Grmicv.dk Bunner. The Coryclon Demoeral gives the particulars of a distressing and heartrending aflair, which occurred near Cold Friday, in Scott township, Harrison county, on Saturday night. The dwelling house of Mr. James Wilmot, was burned to the ground, with four of his children. It appears that the parent 4 went to church on Saturday night, a short distance from home, leaving their children, four in number, asleep, and before leaving locked the door to make everything safe. When they returned they found their house enveloped in flames, and their jwor, helpless, innocent children, burned to ashes. The charred remains were found Sunday morning, and taken out by the neighbors. The child rcn were'all between one and seven years of age.

Communicatee). When those who arc specially set to guard the peace and to execute the laws, are found to disturb the public peace and to break the laws of the land, who shall bring them to justice? A scandalous violation of the Sabbath, and an insult to the religious feelings of the whole eomm unity, was perpetrated on last Sabbath evening, by our City Marsh&J, who, after hitching up his wagon and team and taking in a good supply of Lager Beer, gathered

up a few members of the Brass Band and went banging and braying, tooting anel blowing .to the wood ; anel then when "well-filled"

and the leader at least top-heavy wit-a sour lager, they came back and perambulated our streets in the

same rude and noisv wav to the

surprise and chagrin of all good

citizens. And they approached the Methodist Church, just as our Sabbath School was tlismisscd and just as public worship began with our colored people, and our estimable

pastor, Kev. Henry iNavlor.

Bro. Naylor had of course to

cea:ie the service until the din and

noise had passed, while all, preacher

and people auk.-, were perplexed with the silent inquiry, "What can all this mean ?" Of course wc were all surprised anel began to inquire, who is the author of this strange disturbance of our usually quiet village? And as the noisy pageant passed us, we were both pained anel surprised to find twei civil officers, the erne holding the reins and guiding the tei:m

at one end of the wagon, and the

other bunging lustily on a big drum at the o:her end. Tf the religion of Jesus is tit all

recsgnized by the statute book, if

the right to a quiet Sabbath and to

the undisturbed worship of Al

mighty God on that holy day is secured to us by law, let us sec the

law enforced.

Very many witnessed the oecurance besides Mulky, Judah, Howe,

Campbell, Jones, iish, Harbison and the entire body of the M. E. Sabbath School, both children and teachers. One of Them.
