There are decidedly too many young men who

Thoy stny a tew months at one place, and a Tew
months nt another, and os olerks, or something
of that kind, may perhaps manage to defray
their personal expenses for the time being, but
as to providing for the coming Ihture or laying
up something for a rainy day, it is absolutely out
i't the question. II these young men were only
expert mechanics, their services would not only
be very desirable In this community, hut the
knowledge they possessed of their trade, what
ever It might he, would not only delray their

acquire, gradually though surely, wealth and po-
altion. A good trade is, in fact, an estate, and
the mechanic who earns his tweuty-flve dollars
per week, is just as well ofl as a man worth
twenty thousand dollars, who has to live upon
the interest of his money. Parents should by all
meana give their children trades.
Texas for the Freedmen.—Tlie New
York Commercial, (Thurlow Weed’s) suggests
giving Texas to the Freedmen. It says :
There, with ample room and verge enough
they could establish a Government ol their own.
And there, with a genial climate and a teeming
soil, they could be as prosperous and happy, as
they proved Industrious and virtuous. There,
Frederick Douglass and other able and cnler-
j prising men ot color, could exert and employ
their talents nnd time in really impraving and
i elevating their race. And there, too, Senator
! Sumner, Wendell Phillips, Mr. Tilton, &c., dis-
j gusted with their own peopln and Government,
might find congenial associations. And there,
] mo, a field would open tor the Rochester Ex
pect*, Utica Herald, New York Tribune, and
other “manhood” journals.
* *•* Wo hear that Gov. Fenton (not openly,
of course) is opposed to Fred. Douglass. And
even the Tribune, though boldly "On to Ricb-
I mond," so far as “Impartial" nnd “manhood"
principles concern the Southern States, is omi-
Inously silent upon this question. There must
I he no “cowardice,” no “white feathers" concern-
ling Roderick Douglass. It is a test question.
I The Radical journals nnd the Radical spirit call
I Douglass Irom the “Grampian HUIb. The
* IVibune must bow its head.
Fokt Buford.— 1 There i9 reason to tear that
klie reported massacre at Fort Buford, which lias
(been contradicted, will yet turn out to be true,
[This iort is located on the Yellowstone river, in
Jukotah Territory, far in advance of clvlfiza-
kion, and isolated from ail other forts and from
khe support of other garrisons. It is in the very
leart of a tract of country over which hostile
pudians ronm at will, and in great numbers. It
i known that many of these hostile bands ltavc
Combined their forces for the purpose of exter
minating the whites on the border, nnd Colonel
rtankin had begged his superior officers, weeks
efor the alleged massacre, in view of the tlireat-
fcuiDg aspect of the Indians, either to strengthen
Ids command or permit him to fall buck upon
f»ther troops. His representations were unhecd-
sd and his requests refused, and there is but too
Juuch reason to fear that the first report will be
Iverified
The‘Leagues.—The Nashville Union it Dit-
:lch says- Tito radicals arc unusually active in
|humming up recruits for the leagues. These
ecrct organizations impose upon their subjccls
|m oath to stand by n particular party, and al
ways vote tho radical ticket. 3’liey are thus
[.lacing the negroes in a condition ol political
llavery wholly inconsistent with tho rights of
freedmen. It may work smoothly for a brief
|spacc, but wo predict that it will not only lead
i bickerings and strife among themselves, hut
Ito the injury of the members. The negroes
(should shun these leagues as they would the
lvileBt and mo9t dangerous thing on earth.
From tho Richmond Enquirer.
The Virginia Coal Explosion.
Most ot our roaders are familiar with the coal
dug from the Coal Hill pits in Chesterfield coun
ty, about twenty-two miles from Richmond by
road, and thirty-one by rail. These mines, which
have beon worked lor many years, consist at pre
sent of three pits, known respectively as tho
Bright Hope, Raccoon and Hall’s pits, nnd from
theso pits wero raised last year about 900,000
bushels of coal.
The Bright Hope mine was the'seene of a ter
rific explosion on Wednesday last, which, with
out a moment’s wnmlng, hurled nearly a hun
dred human beings into eternity I What was
the cause of tho disaster must ever remain an Im
penetrable secret, for tho lips of nil who might
have explained tho mystery, are closed by the
doath which spared none to tell tho taio. It is

assure him that friends were near. The shout
reverberated in hollow echoes through the reces
ses of the dark nbyss, but no answering signal
was homo to their straining ears, and Blowly nnd
sadly they sought the upper air.
The next morning another party, consisting of
Titos. Marshall, Jr., Lowis Cox and Richard
Berry, descended again, hut found only a dead
mule at the foot of tho shaft, aud, being uuable to
proceed auy distance, returned aud reported that
the coal was on fire; und tho oldest miuere agree
ing that not a human being could have survived
the explosion moro titan a few moments, and that
overy one in the mine must be beyond the reach
of human nid, it wus decid'd to close the pit,
nnd, allliough Mr. James H. C.,a offered a reward
of $000 for the extinguishment of tho.flre r it was
thought that, with the men and meana at his

ordered to bo closed.

that negro suffrage is now a fact in the Southern
neglect of a drunken gas-man to discharge the
duties of his offico, which ure to examine, with
one of Davy's safety lamps, the condition of the
nir, and attend to the proper ventilation of the
pits, this ventilation being kept up by meaus of
doors opening into various portions of the pit,
the purification of the air in this being addition
ally secured by a powerful wind-fun driven by
tho pit engine.
There are, however, rnauy other causes which
may produce an explosion in the mines, one ol
these being a tumble, or (as it is technically
termed by the miners,) a full, which occurs when
a portion of tho roof falling in, aduiit9 into the
pit the impute gases which may have accumula
ted above, nnd which, taking fire from the lights
used by the workmen, is sometimes the cause of
an explosion.
The pit has two shafts (used respectively for
ascendipg and descending) running 850 feet be
neath the surface of the earth; but so powerful
was the explosion that the overseers on the plat
form at the entrance to the shaft were greatly
jarred, and so terrific the heat of burning gas
tlmt the rope to the bucket in which two or three
poor fellows were at the time ascending to light
and life, was instantaneously severed us though
by a knife, and the unhappy men with lightning-
like rapidity were hurled back to an awful, hut
happily, a speedy death.
. The number ol operatives in the employ of,
the Clover Hill Company is nearly two hundred, j
and a little village, with a population of about i
one thousand, has sprung op in the vicinity of
the pits; and when the tidings of the disaster, I
which lmd killed some Bovenly men, spread
through the village, the excitement, suspense
aud gloomy agony were intense.
The month ol the pit was soon surrounded by
some hundreds oC persons, and theahrieks, moati3
and lamentations ot the female friends of the
victims were indeed harrowing. Stern men,
who had faced the horrors of many a battle field, j
were unablo to bear tho heartrending scene, and, And
weeping like children, turned away 1 utterly un- ; " 8e

The following letter, which was received on
yesterday, will enable our readers faintly to im
agine the extent of tho horrors of the catas

Clover Hill, April 4.
D. S. Wooldridge, Esq. :
Dear Sir—When the pit bottom was reached
last evening, it was ascertained tlmt the .lumber
house in the pit, winch contained some powder,
was on fire. 1 endeavored to get the men to put
it out, which, no doubt, could have been done
but the men feared the danger of another explo
sion, aud were unwilling to work. The pit has
been again examined this morning, nnd the fire
is so small tlmt it could he managed if the men
were willing to risk Die danger.. Under all the
circumstances, I have determined to save the pit
by closing both shafts. We are now engaged in
this work.
All of tho men, about seventy in number, and
all the mules tlmt were in the pit, are, of course,
lost. The bodies cannot be recovered until tho
fire is extinguished and the (lit is re-opened.
Very respectfully, ,1. II. Cox.
Of the victims of the explosion, some twenty
or twenty-five wero whites, the renmlnder being
negroes later rAimv....™.
The Richmond Enquirer ol the Oth contains
the narrative of one who visited the sceno of dis
aster, trom which we make the following ex
tracts, containing later and more reliable inhu
mation regarding this terrible affair:
At four o’clock on the morning ot the 3d,
Thomas Marshall, Jr., a gasman, descended the
shalt to examine the pit • nt the usual hour the
hands went to work, and at 11 o'clock Mr. John
Weale, gasman, went down to relieve Marshall,
who announced tlmt all was right. It is the duty
of the relief to go down an hour or two before |
the time of the other gasman expires, in order
that he may be made thoroughly acquainted with ,
tlie condition of tiflairs. If the examination he
thorough, so perfect is the system of ventilation, !
tlmt no danger can possibly result, as the safety j
lamp would warn the bearer of a danger, which |
an old miner can almost detect by the smell, and I
when tho presence of sucli gas is detected, it is |
the duty of the gasman to warn, and, il neces
sary, to withdraw the hands from the dangerous |
locality. . . . . '
No alarm had been lately giveu in regard to
any part ot the pit. But a lew days prior to the
accideut, a door, or "stopping,” which, when ;
closed, drove a current of air into "upshots 8
apd 9, situated on the main northern level, about
halt a mile from the sbaff, had been removed,
but Mr. Marshall, Sr., on being apprised ol the
fact, ordered .It to be replaced, alleging that til- |
though those upshots might be ventilated while
the fan was running during the day, there might
be an accumulation of gaa at night. (These ‘ up
shots” are inclined planes in the mine where the
vein of coal is being dug out from below.)
Thomas Marshall, Jr., acknowledges that lie .
did not, on the morning of the 3d, visit, as was | whlch we ofter low PRICES, for cash,
bis duty, these upshots, and it is probable that
Weale, relying upon Marshall's statement, also j
omitted to do so. At all events, the hands who j
lett the mines concur in the avowal that the air
current in the main passages was almost strong
enough to blow out their fights, and one ot them i
lmd just parted Irom Weale, who was on the 1
way to the shaft to get Ids dinner, and who, on
being asked "lmw's timesV” replied "all right.
