SATURDAY ... DEC. 4, 1875. OUR COAL RESOURCES Recent discoveries, or re-discoveries, of coal deposits in our neighboring mountains have brought this subject into prominent notice. The importance of a rich deposit of coal is exceedingly great. Our great want for manufacturing and heating purposes is an abundant supply of good coal. Wood is scarce and expensive, and it will be many years before the groves of eucalyptus and other trees will reach a maturity which will materially lessen the price of this needful commodity. Every once in a while some one comes down from the mountains with specimens of coal, and imagines he has indeed found a bonanza. This repetition of discovery has gone on for about thirteen years, and yet we have no coal mine developed. These coal veins crop out along the Santiago Mountains, and it is supposed exist a long distance toward San Diego. Some of the thickest veins appear near the coast below the San Joaquin Rancho. The Lomas de Santiago Rancho covers nearly all the out-croppings already discovered. Yet there is no doubt coal appears in regions outside of this rancho. One of the objects the present owners had in purchasing this rancho was the probable advantage of a supply of coal. We understand that this company took an expert through these coal regions, but his report was not favorable, and the company did not do anything toward development. It is possible, however, that by the expenditure of money in digging down, the veins, which at the top do not seem to promise well, would give THE LOCAL PRESS AS AN ELEMENT OF PROSPERITY IN A COMMUNITY. Judicious advertising is now-a-day understood to be an essential to business success. The advertising is only a kind of self-laudation. It is supposed and ought to be founded and built up in truth. Lies in advertisements are as soon discovered as lies in one's goods. We have seldom spoken of ourselves and cannot be said to be much given to self-puffing. Nor do we propose to enter upon any course of self-praise, as so many publishers do. We would hope to attain a better end by a wiser course, and submit some thoughts on the above topic for the consideration of our business men, and for those who are interested in the development of county and State. What we may apply to all papers in their own locality. We prefer, as journalists, to stand on the highest principles and not to make a narrow code for our circumstances, but to abide by and follow the gathered wisdom of experience, in seeking to do that which is not only best for us, but which is the wisest for all. There are very many men who never suppose the paper published in their own village, or near them, has anything to do with the prosperity of their town or of themselves, and they treat it as coldly as they would a package of wrapping paper. To be sure, the business of conducting a printing office and publishing a paper must belong to some one, and by it he must make a living. But a local paper should be the pride and boast of every man within the radius of its circulation. That is, men ought to stand up for it, take it, urge the new-comers to support it, provide for its local items and make it interest their own, so far as they can consistently with other names, and shall have trust duty. Then copy of this issue and when new neighbors call a paper, and show that region. The editors of any law and often at least satisfy merchants have a right to edit of the region they ing to develop a small part to alice Send on your la your matured them and public them subscriptions, and gather and try to the whole region and enlarge that the success of which interests are intima. JAMES FINCH, Garml, Illinois, is curious of great evolution—a Mason Lady Washington Finch, great-grand Finch, was a captainary War, underton, and at the clock him a present o him that Lady W herself. Capt. Joe old when he died. to his son, Hon. G Senator of Possey of the understanding in the family. A G.W.Finch died and in obedience to left the apron to him. The apron is made trimmed in greenblems of the Mason 1, Virginia Lodge years old, and is at preservation. Last Wednesday purchased a turk doubt coal appears in regions outside of this rancho. One of the objects the present owners had in purchasing this rancho was the probable advantage of a supply of coal. We understand that this company took an expert through these coal regions, but his report was not favorable, and the company did not do anything toward development. It is possible, however, that by the expenditure of money in digging down, the veins which at the top do not seem to promise well, would give more encouraging signs. The coal already found is of the soft variety and is suitable for blacksmithing and furnace uses. It is, however, mixed with a good deal of slate stone. Those who are proposing to develop the discoveries they have made, need to bear one thing in mind, before they expend too much capital. The coal deposits upon any existing grant belongs to it. If on Government land, the land must be bought as mineral land and must be surveyed by the Government, and paid for at seven or twelve dollars an acre. The indications of coal are quite abundant. If a paying mine can be opened it would add vastly to the wealth of this county. By the aid of such a supply of fuel, the magnificent water power of the Santa Ana river could be utilized, and we could manufacture our own wool and paper, and if the experiment of cotton raising proves a success, can make our own cotton cloth. What is needed is that some men with capital shall make a careful examination of the matter, and decide the question, for if there is coal we want it got out. If there is no coal we want the fever allayed, and an opportunity left to turn attention to the development of other resources. It is said that there is an abundance of good slate and of fine marble in the Santiago Mountains. This also should be tested; so that we may know what we possess as natural elements of wealth. As men in a neighborhood combine to bore an artesian well, for a test, in like manner why may not a few of our citizens, or even the county, make arrangements to test this coal matter under the plan of a full reimbursement, if success crowns the effort. The wet weather has now continued for three weeks, says the Alta, and has brought about eight inches of rain, making this the wettest November since 1840. There have been, however, only two days of heavy rain, and except at a few places the rivers have not washed away all their weight. It as coldly as they would a package of wrapping paper. To be sure, the business of conducting a printing office and publishing a paper must belong to some one, and by it he must make a living. But a local paper should be the pride and boast of every man within the radius of its circulation. That is, men ought to stand up for it, take it, urge the new-comers to support it, provide for its local items and make it interest their own, so far as they can consistently with other duties. But some say, "What! must I stand up and work for a paper and send it articles, when it is so much below metropolitan journals?" If a paper lacks freshness and vigor, is wanting in quality and quantity of matter, let it be remembered that the fault is not always with its publishers. A rough proverb says, "money makes the mare go," so money is needed to make a paper first-class. Those superior journals, with which croakers are forever comparing their local press, cost vastly more than the villified issue, and the cost is only met by a huge circulation. Could any country paper obtain 30,000 daily subscribers, it could be made equal to any paper in the United States. But this is impossible. A limited circulation is the best that can be expected, and as a consequence the income is small. Editorial time associated press reports, telegraph dispatches, the type work, the press work and the capital invested in the material and machinery to make a first-class issue is absolutely immense. Geo. P. Rowell & Co. inform the public that $8,000,000 have been swamped in defunct papers during the past year. The struggles of the press in New York to reach a paying basis would make a thrilling narrative of business exigencies and trials. All this forces to the conclusion that, where the resources from circulation for a few years, must necessarily be small, there should be an effort on the part of every one deeply interested in his locality, to aid the editors and publishers in their trying and risky work. This can be done by our honest recognition of good qualities, by fair words of praise for real work—by contribution of matter of local or public interest, especially of those which are incident to the season of early growth and of poverty. The local press should be the center of a wide interest. If any one has a thought on local, social, national, political or any other topic, which is valuable, he ought to ventilate it in his home in the family.

There have been, however, only two days of heavy rain, and except at a few places the rivers have not reached ordinary flood height. The entire State has been soaked, and never at this season within the memory of old residents has the prospects been better than now for pasture and agriculture on the Southern Coast, where the hills are green with luxuriant verdure. As the weather has not been "set fair" since the storm commenced, and the north wind has not prevailed for more than a few hours at a time, there has been no frost or cold to check the growth of vegetation. The supply of snow on the Sierra Nevada is already large, considerably above that ever observed before in November. The mining ditches have more water than they can carry, and the Carson River has risen so that many of the stamps, idle during the Summer and early Fall, have again commenced their rattling work. Among the drawbacks of the rain are the loss of grapes, many of which, not having been gathered, burst on the vines, and the soaking of adobe sols, so that they will not be in a condition to work for weeks, perhaps not for months. A rustic couple from Berkshire County Mass., called upon a Hartford clergyman on Thursday and were married, and after the ceremony the bride-groom inquired the charge. The clergyman jokingly answered that "a cent a pound would be about right," whereupon a mental calculation was made by the groom, who then handed out $3 with the satisfied comment, "cheap enough." Now, what can be done? Let every man see that his particular locality is well represented in the current publications. Don't wait for some one else to tell the editor, but if anything of public interest or importance occurs, let the public-spirited man transcribe it as once as consciously as possible and send it on. If a down report comes, no matter. The editor will select the best one, and if it does not happen to be yours, you will be thanked all the BY TELEGRAPH. Market Report. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.

The officers of the relief fund in this city, in an address, say that there are almost daily calls made on the relief committee for additional aid for the people in Virginia City. The severity of the winter weather, together with the terrible winds that have visited them since the great fire, render additional and immediate relief necessary. The people of Virginia are grateful for the favors they have already received; but, as San Francisco has been greatly benefited by the development of that mineral district, the unfortunates naturally look to this great and wealthy city with confidence for further aid. Jonathan Flattery, who claims to be a physician, was arrested yesterday on the complaint of his daughter, who charges him with assault and battery. Gambling is increasing in this city very fast. A dozen faro games are running constantly and 300 million gamblers. The Constitution of Chesapeake is dangerously ill. On the authority of information it is stated that the Crown Prince never contemplated a visit to the United States, notwithstanding all reported to that effect. If the Berlin criminal court does not put off the execution of the sentence imposed on Von Arnim, and if the Count does not return of his own accord, the Swiss Government will probably be asked to extradite him. London, Nov. 29. A dispatch from Alexandria states that news has been received there of a terrible massacre of Egyptian troops in Abyainia. The Egyptian forces occupying one of the districts lately taken were surprised by a large body of Abyainians, and twelve hundred Egyptian soldiers murdered, including a number of officers.

Bemis and J. Hellman, no evidence in the family. A few days since Hon. G. W. Finch died in Poseyville, Ind., and in obedience to his father's request, left the apron to his son, James Finch. The apron is made of white satin, trimmed in green, and bears the emblems of the Masonic order, and "No. 1, Virginia Lodge." It is now 104 years old, and is still in a good state of preservation. Last Wednesday a Sacramento man purchased a turkey for his Thanksgiving dinner, and when his wife came to dress it she found in the crop, besides a goodly quantity of grain, an old thimble, a five cent piece, a marble and a piece of stone about an inch long. He evidently had been having a meal of "substantials." Secretary Bristow's next raid will be on the New York Custom House and swindling merchants. The steamer Sunny Side, lost on the Hudson yesterday, was six years old, three hundred feet long, and had a capacity of carrying 800 passengers. An unknown man was found frozen to death in a store near the New York city line yesterday morning. John Scannel, the murderer of Donahue, was brought before Judge Barrett in New York yesterday morning and sent to the insane asylum. The fight for Speaker of the House of Representatives at Washington is between Kerr and Randall. The latter is said to be friendly to the Texas Pacific scheme and has many Southern supporters. The President's message will contain 18,000 words, and will be delivered next Tuesday. The Virginia Legislature assembled yesterday, and the Governor's message recommended a tax on church property. Pacific Coast Brevities. Eureka county, Nevada, owes only $17,000. The snow has disappeared from the sides of Mount Davidson, except the northern slopes. The Storey County papers now estimate the total loss by the Virginia fire at $10,000,000; insured for $2,500,000. This is largely in excess of the first estimate. Hay is worth seven cents per pound at Lake City, Colorado, and is scarce at that price. The woman suffrage bill introduced in the Washington Territory Legislature failed of passage. A man pounded up two and a half pounds of quartz from Mormon Basin, Idaho, and got $50 in gold. The yield of hops this year in the Puyallup Valley, Washington Territory, it is reported, fooths up about 300,000 pounds. In the garden of Mr. Bugbee, at Stockton, there are grape vines in blossom. Flour is reported to be selling in celved; but, as San Francisco has been greatly benefited by the development of that mineral district, the unfortunates naturally look to this great and wealthy city with confidence for further aid. Jonathan Flattery, who claims to be a physician, was arrested yesterday on the complaint of his daughter, who charges him with assault and battery. Gambling is increasing in this city very fast. A dozen faro games are running constantly, and 300'gambling and lottery games are going on in China town all the time. No efforts are made to suppress the games. Not a night new passes without somebody being stopped and robbed, but the police insist that there is no more than the ordinary amount of crime. NEW YORK, Nov. 29. Private information from Louisville represents that the session of the National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry is anything but harmonious, with a prospect of the session breaking up in a row. Charles O'Connor, the well-known lawyer, is lying dangerously ill at his residence, Fort Washington, a few miles from here, and his recovery is extremely doubtful. Prayers for his recovery were offered in the principal Catholic Churches yesterday. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. It will be remembered that in February last the Pacific Mail Steamship Company entered a suit at law, by their attorneys, Messrs. Bell, Bartlett, Wilson and Riddle, against the following persons, to recover certain sums, alleged to have been paid to them, as follows: By K. B. Irwin, to secure services in aid of securing Congressional subsidy, Charles Abert,$7,-000; J. F. Barrett,$10,000; E. H. Cormack,$5,000; A. B. Corvine$3,600; H. G. Fout,$12,000; J. H. Hersey,$11,-000; Don Platt,$5,000; W. B. Shaw$15,000 and John Boyd,$4,000. The writs in the cases of Abert, Cormack and Corrvine were returned not found, and the others appeared in person or by attorneys. Most of the cases were on the calendar of the present November term of the Circulis Court for trial. The plaintiff's attorneys have discontinued the cases against Messrs. Piatt, Shaw and Henry and it is understood the same course will be taken as to other cases. The State Department has received official news that the Government of Italy has concluded to participate in the Centennial. The Postoffice Department to-day issued a circular to postmasters incelved; but, as San Francisco has been greatly benefited by the development of that mineral district, the unfortunates naturally look to this great and wealthy city with confidence for further aid.

Potatoes—it is difficult to get over $15 The woman suffrage bill introduced in the Washington Territory Legislature failed of passage. A man pounded up two and a half pounds of quartz from Mormon Basin, Idaho, and got $50 in gold. The yield of hops this year in the Puyallup Valley, Washington Territory, it is reported, foots up about 300,000 pounds. In the garden of Mr. Bugbee, at Stockton, there are grape vines in blossom.

The county road along the Kern Island Canal, the highway to Los Angeles, is to be planted with trees on both sides. The first snow of the season in Downeville fell on Monday last. It is reported four feet deep between Downieville and Sierra Valley. Santa Rosa Grange will celebrate the anniversary of the organization of the Grange movement on the 10th of December next. There will be literary exercises and a festival. Says the Downieville Messenger: At the bottom of a seventy feet shaft in a quarts mine near Forest City, last week, the boys struck a bank of solid gold. That quarts stock is not for sale. There was a lively competition at Sacramento between the Bee and the Record-Union for the city printing the coming year. The Record-Union bid to do it for nothing, but the Bee went its big contemporary one better, by offering a dollar for the privilege, and won the victory. A Detroit citizen of mature years and kindly heart caught a boy in the act of stealing some peanuts off a street stand, and he reproachfully said: "Boy, do you what becomes of thieves?" "Sometimes the parlor catches 'em and sometimes they gits away," replied the lad. "Well, do you know that a boy who steals peanuts will never go to heaven?" "I guess they won't," replied he after a little reflection; "but when I gits hungry after peanuts, they has got to come unless they're spiked down." New York, Nov. 29. From the latest foreign files we The Postoffice Department to-day issued a circular to postmasters informing them and the public that on and after January 1st, 1876, that the single rate of letter postage between the United States and Japan, by direct service, via San Francisco, will be reduced from 15 to 12 cents per half ounce or fraction thereof. Pre-payment obligatory. The State Treasury has suspended monthly gold sales, and it is intended that they will not be resumed again until it shall be absolutely necessary. M. E. E. Tobey, of Boston, informed Secretary Chandler this afternoon that he was obligated to decline the position of Commissioner of Indian Affairs tendered him by the President. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs authorizes Wm. Nicholson, General Agent, associated with the Commissioners of Friends in Indian Affairs, to say that Superintendent Hong has not been removed, and his removal has not been contemplated, and that his only connection with the Pottswaonic matters is that an officer of the Government, he is diligently presenting those who have defended the Indians. The friends of Hong desire him to retire from his present position whenever the Board shall think proper to designate his messenger. Secretary Chandler has invited Commissioner Smith to remain in the Department as his confidential clerk in the immediate charge of the business coming up to the Secretary from the Bureau. NEW YORK, Nov. 29. From the latest foreign files we Pamilleo recently returned from Europe, is full of water at Little Traverse. The schooners Sweet Heart, Mary E. Pocow, Francis Pocow and Granada are ashore at Cheboygan. The Pocow is probably a total loss. The crew of the Pocow had nearly perished until rescued by the citizens. Her deck was under water, and the ice was thirty feet above the deck. WASHINGTON Dec. 1. The appointment of Commissioner of Indian Affairs has been or will be, it is understood, tendered to ex-Representative Wm. H. Upson, of Ohio, who was a member of the Forty-Second Congress. For several days past the executive clerks have been kept busy copying from the rough draft that portion of the President's message that has so far been written, and will finish it in time to be read at the Cabinet meeting to-day. The most important features of the message have been written but will not probably be ready to present to the Cabinet until Friday, and may perhaps be kept over to be considered at a special meeting on Monday morning next. The message will embrace the very latest phase of our Spanish relations, and in the accompanying appendix will be found the correspondence between the two Governments on the question which has given rise to important naval preparations on the part of the United States.

San Francisco, Dec. 1. Intelligence has been received of the death of Hajj P. Aveyy, Minister to China, in that country. In the Municipal Court yesterday the twenty-five remaining indictments against Joseph Casey and twenty-four against Newman Morgan, the two poll-tax forger, were dismissed, on motion of District Attorney Furral. Mr. Furral stated that it had been agreed by the attorneys for the presentation and defense that if Casey and Morgan would plead guilty to one indictment for forgery, each of the remaining indictments for the same offence should be dismissed. Mr. Furral's statement was endorsed by Dales Lake, his associate in the presentation. D. J. Murphy, one of the attorneys for the defence, also indicted it. Judge Blake, therefore, being satisfied at the agreement, dismissed the case. J. J. Waddell, Captain of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's new steamer, City of San Francisco, which arrived at this part recently for the purpose of entering the company's line, between San Francisco, Honolulu and Australia, is not permitted to command the vessel on her first voyage, as it would not be safe for the Captain to show himself in Honolulu, as he would probably be arrested, and possibly suffer death. It will be remembered that Captain Waddell commanded the Rebel cruiser Shetlandah, in March, 1865, and while on his mission destroyed the commerce of the Northern States, and cruised around the Island of Punipette, in the North Pacific ocean, in April. The Shenandoah entered the harbor; and, as a ruse, hoisted the American flag. Four vessels lay at anchor closely, and they at once flew the same colors. Captain Waddell immediately lowered his false colors and raised the Confederate flag. NEW ADVERTISING A Word in the Sentence.

BERED that Captain Waddell commanded the Rebel cruiser, Shetandosh, in March, 1865, and while on his mission destroyed the commissaries of the Northern States, and cruised around the Island of Punipette, in the North Pacific ocean, in April. The Shenandoah entered the harbor, and as ruse hoisted the American flag. Four vessels lay at anchor closely, and they at once flew the same colors. Captain Waddell immediately lowered his false colors, and raised the Confederate flag instead, and then opened fire on the four whalers, completely destroying them. One of the vessels, the bark Harvelt, it afterwards transpired, was the property of subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Waddell was proclaimed a pirate by Secretary Seward, and an investigation was afterwards had by the proper officials and Waddell exonerated. The Captain's claim was that if the Harvelt had shown her true colors she would have been spared, and he exceedingly regretted the destruction of the vessel. The Hawaiian government, however, was not satisfied, and until after the two governments come to a proper understanding, it would not be safe for Waddell to enter Honolulu. BUFFALO, Dec. 1. This afternoon the cast bound express, on the New York Central read, that left Buffalo at 1:15, met with a serious disaster when about three miles east of this city, at a point near the Erie Railroad trestle works, at 2:47 this afternoon. The express was nearing this point. A flagman stationed at the freight yard of the Central road signalled to a freight train all ready for the east, to come on, and as the freight train was running from the side on to the main track, the express came along at a high rate of speed, 33 minutes late. The engine plunged into the freight train, upsetting the former, and the smoking car and two first-class passenger cars of the express followed. The second passenger car tipped over on to the flag station-house, injuring a flagman named Brannan, who was to blame for the accident. The fireman of the express train, Mr. Loughlin, in jumping from the engine, received a severe cut on the head. He is likely to recover. Major G. W. Wood, a jeweler of Lima, N. Y., was killed instantly. J. Doty, of Collins, Erie County, N. Y., had his left leg cut off near the thigh, and will not recover.
