' This coat is adapted to all the purposes, for which the bi' ominous coals are spec "wi ly employed. Thus, for the manufacture of t ! p'irhii toil hvilntirpn. fur liohtinrr streets and houses, there is no coar supe rior In . it. It will require less expense tor lurnishing; because, it contains so little sulphur, from which sulphuretted dydrogen is formed. So. also, in the grate, it will be far less ort'ensive, for the same reason. But. as it is rich in bitu men, it will furnish a large amount of gas. and that which is, comparatively, pure. This advantage is one ofgreat importance. It should, olso. be stateil that it I or niches an excellent coke, which may be used -for manufacturing purposes, and as it is left very porous, it is in a condition to- absorb a large quantity of the. solution of cyanide to the work of reducing the metals. scarrelv necessary to adl. that it is ad mirably adapted to steamings, iriamucl) as its flame is free and durable. For forge use, it is not surjiassed by any coal in market; and for pailor grates, it is both pleasant, economical, and free from dirt. If a chimney has a poor draft, it is liable to the objection coiiimnn to all coals of this kind, the escape of soot into the room. . The qualities of the Deep River coal are of that character, then, which will "ive it the highest place in the market. The localities which have been, best ex plored, and whore coal of a decided char, acter has been attained, are at ilornels ville and Farmville, both in the same neighborhood. The Taylor mine, the Gulf or Ilorton, and the Murchison mines, all furnish a bituminous coal, which may vary in some minor points, yet is quite similar as a whole. The Horton mine has-been used the longest. It was known ir. ?Ue revolution, and a report made to Corgress. respecting it, is still extant, flail the propositions or views been car ried out, which were expressed in that report, we can scarcely tell wlut the results would have been, not only upon the population of Deep Iliver, but also, upon the enterprise of the State.; It must lie noticed, that Deep Itiver. is. central. i?d, in the 'nterior of a country, abound ing in iron j that it is navigable, by a-l of certa'wi improvements, that it enmnv-nica-tes with the ocean, and finds a market abroad, for surplus of the products of manufactures anil agriculture; that a use of natural advantages, to a partial extent onlv, makes a home, market. But the 1 time hm not come lor improving the resources of this district. They, are, therefore, reserved entire for the. present, and thev cannot be neglected longer, un less a suicidal. State policy is pursued. But however fine and excellent a roa! n-av be, it is necessary ' that it should torm extensive neus. in order to nave a commercial value. 94 The next question, then, of inter- est to the community is, inr tne com inunity is interested as much as the owner,) will it bear mining, and the expenditure of ihe necessary capital, (o.take it to mar ket. To answer this question, it is neces sary to make some .calculations, by which we may form some just view of its quantity? In doing this, we may venture to assume, on a geological basis," that the coal seams, which uutcropfrom beneath the sandstones, extend beneath them, and for what appears to the contrary, the slates; with, their coal bedsi. are" coextensive with the under and overlying sandstones 'This formation is known to form a belt of rocks, from 12 to 14 miles wide. The. line of outcrop of the slates, upon which coal h is been raised, is about 0 miles But the line of outcrop of the unexplored state, which embrace the coal, is at least 60 milea within the State, on a line running aouth. of west. ,We juay assume the following, data, viz : iFiat the COal bed m'wtnA (rnik ttiir'ivm'rtii:( fern ootcrnn: three nuLa rwneth k tMi l;" tone J whkh. it. -about one. thirl their natoral extent ; abl that Nhe line of oot crop;port which caiV nnd will be founds U thirty milcsir IT 'like -tlhcket team of coal M worked, which ba thkltne9 pf 6 feef, eitcloaive of a thin band df l ate, 1t. will Rtre for everj;tq,uar yard of irfaee, two anroare yard of coaLrT Ayire acfe ha 4,900 superficial yartta ; ITence, ther? will be 9.800Bquire yard of coal, in each acre, at)!' as qureyard, of foul wwiM 'm ton, "tnere will be- For e?ery acre. 9." 800 ton of coal A thousand!' acre will give b a vt a tT.000 ton. . Thi.i coat field ij is know n the Uif ry itfei )n the direction ftf jntferon, arid to be. workable, for a breadth Hf three miles. We ma v. from this dita. calcolate how much accessible coal we may expect to find, in this quite limited field. . If the field covers only 43 square mile 9, the powesl estimate to be taken, we may ealeurate it value, by the following mole ; ll one hinrred tons of coat are faler out daily, thirty thousand tons would be removed annually, reckoning three hun dred working ilay totie year. It would, at this rate, require over three hundred years, to remove the coal from a thousand acres, or, over t-v hundred year, to re move that which underlies a square mile, or, eight thousand six hundred years, to remove the coal of forty-three square miles. If in estimating the ' value of this coal field, we base our calculations upon time, they, should satisfy us ; or, if we base them upon quantity, they will war rant the investment of capital. In these calculation", we have both time and quan tity, and the State, in encouraging im provetoents. as well as individuals, mav look forward with confidence, on the per manency anil safety, in investments, in this kind ot property. The wants oT the world are with the populationindeed, they keep ahead id' simple increase of in dividuals. The quantityto be removed annually may be increased, and have the time sufficiently long, to satisfy the invest ment of capital ; or ihe time may be in creased, by diminishing the quantity, and til t the annual profits of the investment should satisfy the capitalist. But while population . increases , at a rapid rate, the resources of the forest for fuel are dimin ishing at a greater ratio, than the simple increase of population; therefore, there is no way in which capitat can be so safely If the loregningfcalcufations are correct, they justify the- work, which has been un dertaken to improve the navigation of Deep River. It is prudence, to be cautious in scheme of this kind, but in this case, the amount of property beneath the surface or in the rocks, upnti this river, is enormous it should be dug out ; and what it costs to do this, will be turning materials and labor into money. If the whole enter prize is begun, and carried on in a proper spirit, every nook and corner of the State. from Currituck to Buncombe, will feel an invigorating influence. But the calculation, as to the cruanlitv of coal, will probably far exceed, than fall short of the estimates. In the fintt place, dnly a part of the area is taken into the calculation, and then, in assuming thn thickness of the principal beds, as only six feet, it may be regarded as only the mini mum thickness. It will rather increase than diminish ; this view of the matter is suppirted by observation. For as the slopes have been cairied along the dip, there has been a perceptible increse al ready. It is also to be considered, that at the outcrop, when vegetable matter form ing the coal is only upon the outer vein, it should be twice that at a distance from outcrop; for we may suppose, that, in the inujille only, of a coal basin, do we obtain the maximum thickness. Thus, oae of the coal seams in the Richmond basin is forty feet thick. The Deep River beds, not having been broken up, or not having suflered an uplift throuirh the middle of its trougu or basin, exhibits no where near the surface, an outcrop of coal, except xtp on the rim, or outer edge of the basin. .As we penetrate into it, we have grounds which justify the view, that the seams will increase steadily in thickness, as the slope penetrates into the basin, towards the ren tre, and theu the eains which now appear only upon the outer riia, will thicken, and perhaps unite and form one distinct heavy seam towards the middle of the basin or trough. The foregoing views as to quantify are founded'upon data derived from observa tion, the phenomena of coal fields, and theory, which is well sutained. respecting the manner in which successive seams ot coal have been formed. The calculations as to the quantity of coal in the Deep River coal field are based upon what i known, and without reference to what we may possibly find by explora tion hereafter. These calculations must be regarded as satisfactory. anI such a will justify the hopes and expectations of the owners, and those who are interested in the "improvements of the day. Carkawav AuaesTRD.
