Editor* North-Ea-t Georgian:
Dear Sir : In my perambulations in
he West, I have at last turned up in
the coal regions of Illinois, and after
sufficiently admiring the truly wonder
ful agricultural advantages ot this
section, 1 concluded to visit the under
side through the medium ot a dark, deep
hole, parti ionedoil s> as to present two
openings, and measuring at the top six
by twelve feet and two hundred fact
deep. 1 found, on looking down these
places, that it would l*c no joke to ue-
cideutaliystep into, and in fact it looked
like any thing but a safe place to be
standing around ; causing, as ii. did, tin:
cold chills to creep up my spinal col
umn in a most jieculiarly imiHeasant
manner. Protending to have jio fears
about tlie do cant, I managed carelessIv
to drop a hint or two in regard to
safety of tlie dtscent, and the reliability
of the ouo inch wir.-rope, Ac., Ac., do
ing mv best to appear perfectly in-
diilerent, a- regarded my saf< tv, to the
gentlemanly supointemlant, Mr. J.
Jjoek.ov. 1 tut alter doing niy best, 1
»i‘ : had to bela vo that he either did, or
il.onglit he did, detect just the slightest
bitoi loo voiisjiess somewhere about
me, from the manner he endeavored

<.d by fading in orironi tlie fall of a few
hundred tons of real or slate upon
them, but it is always through their
own carelessness. Even the man who
was blown up a few da vs ago "did it
thri ugh hi- o.vu <ar !essn-‘ss. Ali-r
this ami some similar conversation we
stepped upon the movable platform,
the signal was given, ami in an incred
ible short time we recived a very
Midden shock, and we wore i.u a place
black ns Erebus, filled with a lot of men,
boys and mules, who might very easily
be taken for demons by one ust dropped
down among them with his nerves at
a tolerable high pitch, and nearly de
prived of sight. Each one of the men
anil boys had a flaming lamp hooked
to his cap. All seemed very busy, and
were rushing about in all directions.
As i>oou as 1 could sec, I found a num
ber of conveying railways leading out
to ibe different parts of the mine where
thi coal was being taken from. Mr.
J. Ixvckley showed us the room or
cavern in which a miner worked who
was perfectly blind, and who dug more
coal tluui any other employee of the
mice. While we walked down these
<lark subterranean railways, we would
be constantly passed by little boys
coming out into the main entries from
the ramifying caverns on small ears of
■coal, drawn by mules at a very rapid
rate. These mules, we were informed,
had been under term firma for
something over nine years. They have
their stables down there, and nearly
every convenience wh'ch they ha-1 in
the upper world ; hut 1 have no doubt
their mule.-h ps long and sigh for the
grassy meadows which they were wont
to graze ujion. These mules arc
turned loree every iSntunlay night to
romp over these solitary caverns at
iilKTtv. The coal vein is, on an average,
about seven feet high, of pure coal.
* . Above and below the ciy.il is a variety
of strata of slate, fire clay, and others
of like chaineter. The coal is’dng out
with sharp jwintctl picks, but it fre
quently becomes necessary to blast in
- order to get more coal at onre. This
"ia operation is performed by first digging
under or undermining so as to loosen
the cool, and 4iK!ii a latte eight feet in
!«ktplh is limit'd, mala charge of powder
■v, is then put in two feet in length, is
regularly tamped, just is quarrymen do
in blasting rock, and instead of a fuse
they insert a short straw filled with
powder, am! when th : outer end was
lighted it would shoot its flame into the
charge, end cause the explosion. In
this manner tons of coal arc blown off
at a time. These mines are ventilated
by two deep square holes, two hundred
and twenty feet deep. The fresh air
conies iu the one and purifies the many
dark pnssages, and goes out at the
other, and to make the ventilation
more speedy a large furnace is kept hot
in rear the end where the air goes out.
V These celebrated mines arc owned by
Mr. Joseph Girt ide, an Englishman,
who come to Am rica twenty years ago
and worked for his daily wages as
miner. He r.o.v owns a number of
mines in the State of Illinois, and i-
taid to be worth eight nwlijous of
dollars. r . .. ,.
-Mr. Buckley, thegentlemauly super*
p, intend an t of lh,>e mines, is probably
oqe. of the l>est practical miners in
Ainenira, and the great success of these
mines arc no doubt owing to his man
pgement. Mr. Dan Gart-ide, nephew
‘ : of t-iic proprietor, is a geiitlejnan of the
. first order, end a noble specimen of the
' i\nglo Baxou race. After feasting my
notorious curiosity to its utmost capaci
ty, I stepped on tlie elevator, and in an
instant was ushered into light,
felt considerably relieved, and walked
off wil loquumg to myself thnt if this

Editors North-East Georgian:
I have read with pleasure the com
munications in your valuable paper on
tlie propriety, or rather necessity, of
some law to protect game and fish in
our State. This is a question that has
too long escaped the attention of our
law makers, and the people at largo,
j for should the present wholesale
slai ghtcr of the denizens of our forests
and streams continue but a few years
longer, game and fish will be as rare
with us as they are in the great desert
of Sahara. This subject has an im
mediate and vital interest to till, not
only to those who share the spirit of
the “gentle sportsman,” but to every
one who feels an interest in tlie pre
servation of our game, and the perpet
uation of the noble art of gaming.
Our country piesonts to the world a
peculiarity in this respect, striking
and auo ulous. Nowhere else is the
sporting so general, or the supply of
game naturally so abundant.
Our forest once abounded with deef,
wild turkeys, and grouse or pheasants,
but they have disappeared before the
cruel and unnatural war that was wa
ged upon them by the lirst settlers,
llad a wiser and more humane policy
been pursued, and the natural laws of
gaming been respected, all these noble
varieties of game would still roam over
j our fields and forests.
The deer is not naturally more shy
than the fox or the rabbit, yet while
the latter still abound the former lias
become extinct.
Instead of being protected liecause
they were the noblest game of all, ev
ery means was resorted to in their de
struction, and tlie sportsman who
would now enjoy a venison steak, must
travel hundreds of miles to soeae wild
mountain region where tlie pleasure of
tlie sport is more than counterbalanced
by the diilieultics and privations lie
lias to encounter. The same can be
said of the turkey and grouse. Though
wilder than the partridge, if the proper
care had been taken, they would now
be as plentiful ns of yore. Hunting,
when followed in a legitimate way and
in the proper season, will never destroy,
or ever materially diminish the quan
tity of game. In England, where the
law is very rigid in protecting game ol
ail kinds, though the country is much
more densely populated than ours, all
of the native birds are still abundant,
and by caro and attention other foreign
birds have been introduced, and aro
now as plentiful as those peculiar 1’5
(freat Britian. The pheasant, for ex
ample, was many years ago brought
from the shores of the Black Sea, and
is now more common in England than
any other kind of game birds. The
unmanly and unsportsmanlike practice
of killing birds while the process of in
cubation isgoingon, or after the young
are hatched, and before they aro old
enough to use the means of escape na
ture has given them, will effectually
exterminate any species of game.
Strange to say, however, this prac
tice. has prevailed and still prevails to
an extent that bids fair if followed for
a few years longer to extirpate the few
remaining birds that have escaped the
cruel hands of these pot hunters. Not I
long since a mail was boasting that he ]
had killed nearly forty of the male
partridges during the whistling season.
At a very moderate estimate this
pseudo sportsman cut off at least four
hundred birds. Is there no remedy
for this wholesale destruction of game ?
In every other State except Georgia, if
I mistake not, the law forbids hunting
during particular seasons, and I think
it is time that we had some such law.
After this, and of scarcely less impor
tance, would he a statute imposing a
per rapUa tax on dogs. By this
means we would rid the country of the
thousands of worthless curs and mon
grels that now infest it like the locust
of Egypt, and not only protect young
game of all kinds, but cut off a serious
drain on our material resources. No
one would object to paying a tax on a
if he gained either pleasure or
profit bv keeping him, while the mul
titude of dogs that are useless and
consequently worthless would no lon
ger prowl wolf like over the country, if
ucli a law were enacted. It is a mat
ter of wonder that we have not more
cases of hydrophobia when we consider
the uumlicrof ilogs that wander about j
with no visible means of support, and
against whom tlie hands of every man
seems to lie turned. I hope every
citizen who feels an interest in the pre
servation of our fish and game—and
who does not? will think seriously of
this oiatter and demand from our Leg
islature the passage of some law that
will again replenish our streams, and
'ause our woods once more to echo with
the merry “Bob White” of the part
ridge and the sharp whirr of the
pheasant’s wing. Oglethorpe.

“Senator West to-day received tlie fol
lowing dispatch from the Mayor of
Shreveport: “Sickness is on tlie increase.
Do all you can for us. There is no mon
ey in tlie citj- treasury. The poor arc
on our hands and for lack of funds we
find difficulty in burying them.”
The General Superintendent ot the
Western Union Telegraph Company at
Louisville sent the following dispatch to
President Ortou this evening:
When the fever made its appearance at
Shreveport we had tlie-rc two operators
b"sides a manager. One lelt immediately.
George J. Kac, manager, anil Thomas M.
Jackson, operatoi, remained at their
posts till stricken down. Mr. Jackson
died cm Saturday and Mr. liau on yes
terday. Operator lluclmnun, ofMeridian,
tendered his services and reached Shreve
port on Wednesday, but whi n Mr. Rae
was taken sick, on Thursday, Mr. Buch
anan returned home and is now ill there.
Operator 11. C. Davis cauu* from Ni w Or .
leans on Sunday, ami is now alone on
duty in the Shreveport office. Our re
pairer has the fever, but will probably
recover. Alfred Saville, although imae-I
climated, has gone to help Davies, and i
will probably reach Shreveport to-night, j
Kao and Jackson are supposed to have ■
been the main supports of their respec
tive families. line's father is an invalid
and Jackson's mother is a widow. Our
banker, Mr. George A. Pike, and opera
tor Davis did all they could lor the relief
of Mr. Rae. Jackson died before Davis
reached there, but he received kind at
tention from Mr. Pike. Nearly all who
were able to leave the town have left,
but there are fully six hundred cases of
fever there now, and the number of peo
ple who are well is not sufficient to take
care of the sick. The lever is unusually
fatal, and it is believed by many to be
the Mexican vomito, and to have been
introduced by employees of the trans-
Atlantic circus. It attacked persons who
had yellow fever in Shreveport in 1807.
Contributions arc coming in slowly from
all parts of the country. Physicians and
nurses are badly needed. The condition
of the town is simply heartrending,
and tiie suffering is something fearful to
contemplate.'’
New York, September 15.—The Su
perintendent of the Western Union Tele
graph Company at New Orleans tele- I
gaph* to the company here, under date
of to-day, as follows:
No telegraph transfer proper can lie
made .with Shreveport, us manager Rae
is' dying, and the operator who went from
here has no money for that purpose. I
have transferred money, however, t hrougli
banking house without cost, and can
I transfer whatever may be offered, unless
the banking house at Shrevepoit should
be closed by sickness. The last messen
ger at Shreveport lay down sick this
morning. No report of the affliction can
possibly exaggeiate the actual condition
of the town.
Memfuis, September 15. Wild rumors
are afloat in regard to tlie yellow lever.
The trains are crowded with people Hying
from the scenes of the scourge. Details
arc unobtainable, and it is oojtaiu it i.s
spreading in the city. Two undertakers
report twelve interments litre from yellow
fever.
The latest information from Shreveport
says the lever is unabated. Five or six
men in the telegraph office have liml the
fever, two ot whom are dead. From thir
ty to forty people die daily.
