BlTUMISovs CoaL.-Ihc last Roman Citizen
states that Lyman X. Potter, of the town OF Au-
gusta, in the 5 w. pert Of Oneida county, in sink
ING a we'll on his farm, on the highest summit OF
land in the town, after descending over 20 feet,
struck a bed of Jitamtnous coal He had not yet
asceriained the extent OF the vein; butthe specimens
obtained equal in quality to the Liverpool coal,
or the Blossburgh 1t is added that Mr.. Porter
ha. been offered large sum-the Rome Sentinel
SAWS $50 600 by an Eastern capitalist, for the mine


This statement j. doubtless made in good faith,
and We sincerely hope it will not prove illusory,
a.. hitherto, have proved to be ali the coal mines
in this State Of which, first and last, in one quar-
ter and another. not few have been supposed TO
be discovered


If n yertabe and extensive coal deposite does
exist as stated. it will soon become source OF
great wealth; for the situation is convenient OF
access and for the distribution of its treasures.-
Augusta is Just south of Vernon, and some II or
IL miles from the Erie. Canal. It's westerly side
!, drained by the Oneida Greek and It's tributaries
running to the North while 1t. easerly side Is
drained by the Oriskany and IL tributaries ard
the Chenango Canal crosses the southeast corner
of the town. An abundant coal nine, accessible
from the last named work, would give 1t flowing
revenue to say nothing of the rich additions II
would make to the business and income OF the
Erie Canal In short, a mine like the one allcdges
TO have been found would be a magnificent acqui-
siiion 10 the resources OF the State.
