THE OLD KEYSTONE.—Some good citizen of the Old Keystone State has thrown together a lot of statistics which are abundantly cheering. It appears that Pennsylvania now produces annually 15,000,000 bushels of wheat and 46,000,000 bushels of other grain, and is capable of increasing the amount four-fold; that she will send to market this year 1,000,000 tons of anthracite coal, yielding a return to the State, of $7,000,000; that she manufactures three-fourths of the iron made in the Union, and has the means of supplying the consumption of the world; that she has a bituminous coal field, through which the main line passes for one hundred and thirty miles, containing 1,000 square miles, or 6,400,000 acres, when all Europe contains only 2,000 square miles of bituminous coal land.
