1S» IT lUEt US Uli M'K AAOTIIKK. We commend the following-, lVoin the Indianapolis Journal, to the care fill consideration of our readers. Jt will bo observed that the hopes en -i laineil for the future of Indiana are based upon facts concerning superior mtural facilities which are Lecoming sirongcr with every new examination The proximity of the citizens of Montgomery county to these rich coal beds makes the question of their do velopmont one of great local import ance. We copy that portion of the article which is of general inteiest: "The State Geologist, Prof. E. T. Cox, lias just returned home after quite an extended investigation in 'he eomtios of Given, Clay, Vigo and Tarke. A report of the results of his viait is found in our city columns this morning. He found large deposits of coal and considerable iron ore in all these counties, and traced the belt of block eoai from the south-wo-tern portion of Owen county up iiUo the extreme northern corner of Parke, while it is his belief—and some little surface investigation has supported the idea—that the block coal extends as for north as Fountain. Day by day the wonderful deposits of this peculiar species of coal in our State is being brought to light, and it is safe to affirm that what we now know of it, is hut the initial chapter of a rich volume.
The presence of this coal renders the future wealth and importance of Indiana assured but the question -ve wished to ask of our people just now is: Shall it be for us, or shall it be for another'? Professor Cox found, wherever he went, Eastern speculators and capitalists prospecting the ground and preparing for ventures in this new field. It is majority of the furnaces now in operation in Clay county, are owned principally by men outside of the State, while on the pioposed new line between this city and Terre Haute, Eastern men are investing largely in coal banks, and in lands for the erection of blast furnaces. Silently, but surely, the experienced iron workers of Ohio and Pennsylvania tire coming here, and pre-empting all the eligible lands and seams so that iu a short time there will be but limited opportunity for the invest jnent of a dollar of our domestic capital in these furnaces, from which, it is hardly too much to say, money •will .fairly run in molten streams. It is time our people should awaken to this fact. We are too sleepy and stilish. Opportunities are let slip daily, for the simple reason that our rich men cannot be induced to part •with a dollar of their wealth. It has been true of some cities, that progress has been virtually estopped until there have been a number of iirstclass iuuerais, and the public press oi St. Louis is now clamoring for the sudden taking oh'of a half hundred old men who mount the shoulders of their progress, like the old man ol the sea clung to Sinbad, the Sailor who will not let go voluntarily, and whose grip is too tight to be shaken off by anything less powerful than death.
There is plenty of room for outsiders. We seek to exclude no one only urge that our own citizens share the golden gains which others seek to reap. Like Uftcle Sam, Indiana is beginning to feel rich enough to give every one a farm her doors are wide open for the reception of every man, every dollar, and every mechanic, who come to add to the wealth, the industry and future of our Commonwealth. To this end the Journal is laboring in the dissemination of facts with reference to the manufacturing advantages of the ''coal section," and we urge upon our wealthy citizens, and our city and State authorities, that they second

VlCHINCi "MOKES" l»0(!iETN.".-
A WHITE man picked a negro youth's pocket of a two-dollar bill yesterday morning, and, on being accused, admitted the theft, but refused to give up the money. He offered to treat the bankrupted moke out of the ill-gotten gains, but the offer beingrefused, he coolly walked oil' with his booty.—Itul. Sentinel.
Our cotemporary, it seems front the above, thinks robbing a moke is no great crime. In this case the moke is superior to the specimen of the advocates of "a white man's Government." The Sentinel raises a question Is it a, crime for a white man to pick a negro man's pocket in Indianapolis?—Madison Courier.
In this city after picking a "moke's" pocket the}' don't even oiier to Lreatj the '•bankrupted," but coolly walk off with their booty, as though it was Christian act.
OUK COAL FI.KLOS.
The Indianapolis Journal publishes the results of a tour of inspection recently made by Prof. Cox, State Geologist, in Clay, Owen, Vigo and Parke counties. lie reports a belt of coal beds about six miles in width and from three to live feet in thick ness extending through the counties named. .The survey is to be extended through Montgomery, Fountain and Warren counties, when it is to be hoped facts will be developed to justify the predictions in reference to the future importance of the western portion of the State. Prof. Cox predicts for the whole of this portion of the State what we understand Gen. Manson has already predicted of Clay county, that it will be the seat of manufactories and furnaces second to none in the United States.
KAIL BOA ITEMS.
Highland township, Fountain county, has voted to appropriate 840,000, or two per cent of the taxable prop-
Haute & Chicago Railroad, or the extension of the Evansville & Crawfordsville line, through Perryville.
A vote on the proposition to aid the same road was taken in Parke county last Saturday. Two townships voted for it and one against it.
AT
a recent meeting of the parties interested, a consolidation of the Indianapolis, Crawfordsville & Danville Railroad with the Danville, Urbana, Bloomington & Pekin Railroad was effected, the new line taking the name of "Indianapolis, .Bloomington fc Western Railroad." We have previously reported the work considerably advanced in Illinois, west of Danville, so that it will not probably be long, under this consolidation of interests, before the line is open from Indianapolis to the Mississippi River.

have voted to locate that institution within two and a half miles of the LaFaycttc Court House. This virtually locates it on the high ground opposite the city, on the west bank of the Wabash.

State from the Atlantic States and Europe but, while giving preference to people of our own race, holds inoffensive emigrants of China entitled to the full protection of the law opposes China suffrage in any form and any change ofthe naturalization laws ofthe United States.
Fourth.—Recognizes the power of the General Government to restrict or prevent Chinese emigration by terminating our commercial relations with China, but believes that the closing of our ports at present against the Chinese would be injurious to the material interests of the coast, a reproach upon the intelligence ol the American people, and contrary to the spirit of the age.
Fifth—Approves I he eight,-hour law. Sixth —Indorses"" the action of Congress iu rejecting the Alabama I treaty, and considers it the duty of the General Government to demand full reparation for the injuries inflicted by the English Government and people upon our commerce during the late rebellion.
