There are multiple torches in the crafting table because the first torch listed in the crafting table is crafted from regular coal (the one you mine underground) and the other torch is crafted from CHARcoal, which is made from smelting wood blocks. I don't know why they made two of those torches in the crafting menu, considering that its the same thing.
