work, and have the same kind of scorn of surface men that sailors have of land "lubbers," or that trappers have of civilized folks. They feel that high qualities, that energy, courage and patience are called into play here, and that they are spending strength on strength in the stern labor of cutting their way through living rock. They love the solid darkness of the mine, its perilous descents, the intricate mazes of its drifts and galleries, often steep and slippery, and its utter isolation from the rest of the world. The sailor and the trapper have been told of often enough. Cooper alone has said quite enough of both; but no one has ever taken the pitman, in his grimy dress, hard-handed, swart, and smutted, and made a hero of him. But perhaps his turn may yet come. An English writer, speaking of the dignity of labor, said that when the epic poem of our day is written, it will not be "Arms and the Man." "Tools and the Man" will be our epic, and then will the Pitman be sung.

Then fellows the "black damp" --air from which all the life-sustaining principle is burnt out — and if any escape unhurt from the concussion, they are drowned in the lifeless air. And this work, with all its severe labor and danger, begets a class of men who take in it a strange delight. When Shelley spoke of men "leaner than fleshliness misery, who waste their lives in far down darksome mines," he surely never could have seen the Welsh, Cornish and Newcastle miners. The Chesterfield mines are worked chiefly by these men, and a sturdy set of fellows they are. They prefer the pit to any other work, and have the same kind of scorn of surface men that sailors have of land "lubbers," or that trappers have of civilized folks.

Mining and the miner. In these cold and nipping days, when the good people of Richmond and Petersburg put their toes on the fender and poke their coal fires into blaze, they rarely think where that coal comes from, or of the labor, the courage, the patience and the skill required to bring its cheerfulness and glow to their hearth-stones. The coal measure of Chesterfield are worked at two print rest points. One near Coalfield station, on the Danville road, and the other at Clover Hill. At the latter place the works are quite extensive. The strata of coal outcrop there and dip to the westward, descending at about the angle of twenty-three degrees. These seams or layers of coal — alternating with layers of stone like the cake and jelly of jelly-cake — differ much in thickness. The richest is about twenty-seven feet through. Some are so thin that the working of them would not be productive.--The mines are of two kinds. One kind begin at the outcrop, where the coal comes

Christmas (search for this): article 1
Christmas. It would seem a remorseless piece of irony to extend to our people the usual greeting of "A Merry Christmas." In the midst of a land desolated by the iron foot-prints of war, with half a million of their best and bravest sleeping inChristmas." In the midst of a land desolated by the iron foot-prints of war, with half a million of their best and bravest sleeping in bloody graves, with a funeral pall hanging in every house where the Christmas garlands once were wreathed, with universal poverty in the place of universal plenty, and dark and threatening clouds still brooding over their future, it seems like the utterance of heartless sarcasm to exclaim, "A Merry Christmas." Yet, it was in the moral midnight of the world that the Christmas star first rose. It was upon an altar whose prestige had departed, that its mild lustre first fell, illuminating odern mode of celebrating this great Christian Anniversary may be incongruous and inconsistent in times like these; but Christmas, in its true method of observance, is the very festival for periods of darkness and tribulation. It brings its gold an

national banking companies. It is designed to secure greater uniformity in the books and papers of such institutions. Tax on building stone. By a decision of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, all stones used in the outward structure of buildings, bridges, aqueducts, reservoirs, wharfs, piers, monuments, fences, &c., if thawn or dressed, are subject to a duty of three and three-fifths per cent., as building stone. This decision was made in accordance with the amended act of March 3, 1865. It does not apply to or include rough walls or walls built of roughly-dressed stones. A Suggestion. Secretary McCulloch yesterday received a letter, signed by several prominent colored men, in which they suggest that the land and other property of colored people be subjected to an additional tax, the revenue from which to be appropriated to the benefit of colored persons in destitute circumstances. Mails in Virginia. The Postmaster-General last evening issued the follow

Government, and remain with the President of the Republic, and follow him wherever he may go; thus making an active demonstration to Maximilian of the policy which the Government intends to persist in. It is this that has given offence to the French Minister. A Rumor about Mexico. The Republican this evening created some little sensation by issuing a flaming extra on Mexican affairs. Its information purports to come from London, and it declares that a secret understanding between Napoleon and Maximilian allows the former to withdraw the French troops from Mexico whenever Max's payments should become two months in arrear. The Chilian war. The State Department is in receipt of dispatches from our Minister to Chili. The war between Spain and Chili is still progressing. All the principal ports are blockaded. The commander of the squadron is only waiting instructions from the Spanish Government to commence more active operations. The admiral who is commanding the squa
