I,s Superiority i Quality am! Keonouty of Manufacture. 31 r. George T. Lew is, of Tennessee, urns w ritten a letter in regard to Use iron resources of Tennessee, Georgia anrl Alabama. V. r e extract as much for rhe Express as we have room fur, as the letter refers to our imme diate vicinity. We regret we have not space for the whale le*ter. Says Mr. Lewis i Having been directly interested in end connected with the iron and coal Interest of Tennessee for forty years, and having made myself thoroughly acquainted by frequent personal ex aminations of the coal and iron loca tions in Alabama and Georgia, -and Pemisj lvania, Ohio, Indiana, Nlieiii gan and other States, and having a Knowledge of the iron and coals of Europe, 1 concluded to pen :i few thoughts upon these great interests, and endeavor to show that Tennessee, (ieorgin and Alabama have better fa cilities for making iron, and ran make it td lower cost and in greater quantity than any other portion of the world known to the business, hoping to aid you, gentlemen, in stimulating our people to intelligent, zealous, prompt and efficient action in the use of means necessary to a proper representation of the minerals of these States at the Centennial next year. I stated in a letter, which has been extensively published, address ed to rt. 1). Morgan, Esq., of Nash ville, in September, 1869, that these States, Tennessee, Georgia and Ala bama, would in time become TIIE WALES‘OI 1 ’ AMERICA in the manufacture of iron, in conse quence of its low cost of production, and estimated that it- could be made in these States then at sixteen dol lars and ninety cents (>16.90) a ton. That statement has been verified, what was then an estimated cost is new a reality. Iron has been, and is now, made in tui these States at less cost than sixteen dollars ($18.00) a ton, and will be made here and de livered in the Valley of the uiiio at a cost, all told, of sixteen dollars and thirty-three cents ($10.83) a ton. I know, gentlemen, whereof 1 Ypeak, having made estimates, lately,With great care for a company,/ of the cost of erecting four furnaces, with all modern improvements, in Alabama, and estimates of costs of iron ore, coke, limestone, superintendence, la bor, etc., I could itemize the cost, as I did in my estimates, down to the wear and tear of harness lbr mules, but that would make this letter too long. A REITERATED FACT. And gentlemen, I now repeat with emphasis what J. said in a letter to tlie representatives in Congress from Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Ken tucky and Virginia, in January, 1874, These Southern iron States can make and transport iron to the principal markets of the North and East, and sell it at the cost of production there and realize a fair profit, and J reiter ate, too, what 1 have stated through tiie press before, that Pennsylvania, Uic great iron producing State of the Union, whose manufacturers have been nursed, and petted, and foster ed, by the people for several decades, cannot now produce pig iron at less than double the cost of production in these States, and for the same reason that Pennsylvania transports to her coal iron ore from Missouri, Michi gan, New Jersey and Canada, at a cost of from eight to twelve dollars a ton, while these States have within their borders four hundred miles of iron ore, coal and limestone, contin uous and persistent, and forests of timber unequalled in extent. The cod of iron here is less Ihau the cost of the ore in a lon,of iron there. THE IRON PRESENT AND FUTURE. ! The iron interest now is depressed, I it sympathizes and sutlers, with the I commercial prostration ot the times, ! but this great commercial blight ! must pass away. The business of thi ; country will right itself ere ! long. Wi en it does, the iron busi | ness will be developed in these :■ ..As. and dispense its blessings j through the land if we arc true to our interests. That we may have a proper conception of the value of the iron trade, it is only necessary to take a retrospective view to know what is iii store for us in future. Thirty years ago the world’s an . nual production of pig iron was three millions (3,000,000) tons. Then the annual product of Great Britain was : one million five hundred thousand ! (1,500,000) tons, nowit is six millions eight hundred and fifty thousand | (0,850,000). tons Then the annual product of the United States was two ; hundred and eighty-five thousand (385,000) tons, now it is two million eight hundred and fifty thousand (2,850,000) tons. Thirty years hence, the ratio of increased demand being the same ns the p-i.-t thirty years, of course it will be much greater ; the annual nig i:on product of the world will be sixty-three millions (03,000,- 000) tons, of which Great Britain’s portion will bo twenty-three million nine hundred and seventy-five thou sand ; 2 V,975,000) tons, and that of the United States twenty-eight millions , five hundred thousand (28,500,000) r lJ \V'uh the ffnmense demand that will sue ’ be upon us for iron, and the fact, for it is a fact that cannot be j controverted, that these States can produce cheaper iron than any por tion of the world, is it not a duty, the great responsibility of which our people should not shirk, to show to i the world at the great Exhibition of 1876 the minerals of these States in ; such a way as will prove that we are l entitled to all we claim as iron-pro ducing State? The Monthly Gazette of the National Association of Iron Manufacturers, published in Philadelphia, copies of the letter of George T. Lewis, Esq., to the licinner , of I’ebruary, in its April issue and adds: “The state ments are startling, as to cost, but are reliable and deserve the attention of every American manufacturer.” * ’ .* -c * * * * The statement of cost alluded to as startling, but reliable, were as fol lows: Eastern I'cnre-vlvania per ton Central Pennsvlrani 29 05 per ton Pittsburgh, i’emi.'vlvania 29 oO per ton shenaugo, Pennsylvania. 3J 5s per ton Youugstowo.

A correspondent of the Pittsburg Eevieic, a worker in iron, and a citi zen of Pittsburg, here all his inter ests are, said in a letter from Chatta nooga, 13th June. J 870: t “The wonderful deposits of the richest iron ore, coal, limestone, etc., throughout the greater portion of Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia, warrant the prediction that the South I will very soon manufacture all the j iron there, and will, ere long, he j shipping it to parts of the country j less favored by nature in this re j speet.” “ The iron ore of these States I is not surpassed in quality by any in the world," The Selma, Home and Dalton ; Railroad passes through vast beds of i valuable minerals, underlying a j country that is always pleasing, and | often very lovely. Jfi the counties of liibh, Shelby, Talladega and Calhoun are immense beds of ore and coal. The Nashville anti Decatur Railroad runs through the “Red Moualnin ore regions.” ' “The Tennessee and Alabama iron regions during the war furnished ma lt rials for guns that were never sur passed in quality, in all that consti tutes value for that purpose. Tiie iron oi these States has brought in Philadelphia >63 a ton, and gave char acter and lone to the high-priced North ern iron , that of itself did not possessr’ The salubrity and mildness of the climate offers great inducements to all seeking permanent homes. All this region is favored with springs and streams, and an abundance of water power which does not dry up in summer, or freeze up in winter. * Timber, coal and iron ore exists in any quantity, the soil yields bountifully, the best quality of char coal iron is made in Alabama at sl6 to 817 a ton. * At the rolling mill here I saw Tennessee and Ala bama pig-iron made into wrought iron by no other “physic” than tiie puddler’s brawn and brain; and' which, if broken and passed to the makers of “Lowmoqr” and ■‘iSweeds,” would have had the finger of preference laid on it. “I have seen forgo iron, with no especial pains in re-rolling, bent over, doubled down and crushed flat, only to exhibit long, hickofy-like fibres. a practical Englishman's ob servations. J. S. Deans, of Darlington, Eng land, said in an address lately: “One of the greatest difficulties in the way of development -of the American iron trade is the general absence of a proximate coal-field t. the ironstone measures. In some eases, the coal has to be brought a distance of many hundred miles to be smelted on the spot where iron stone is found; and, in other cases, the ironstone is brought a long dis tance to the coal.” This statement does not apply to Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, where, in many localities, the iron ore, stone coal and limestone are in the same mountain, the ore being sandwiched between tlie coal above and the limestone below, but it does not apply with great significance to Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, where the ores are transported to the coals from six hundred to twelve hundred miles by water and rail, with frequent handling, and to Mis souri, where coke is carried from Tennessee and Pennsylvania to meet the ores of that State. air. Dean continues: “Taken as a whole, however, it may fearlessly be maintained that America lacks none of the essential elements of manufac turing greatness, while her ultimate resources surpass those in Europe bv as much as a mountain surpasses a mole-hole”—that is, when the re sources of these States are developed. As I quote Mr. J. Lovvthian Bell, late President of the British Iron and Steel Institute. • FURTHER ENGLISH TESTIMONY. I append an editorial from the Practical Magazine, England, Feb ruary, 1875: Said Mr. Bell in his address before the institute upon his return from the United States: “So far, I am taking no account of the comparatively undeveloped re sources of Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, which will, as I have al ready indicated, prove a match for any part of the world in the produc tion. of iron. * * There scorns every reason of believing that pig iron can now be laid down in the Southern SbUes mentioned above at little ablove one-half the cost of that made in the North.” And lurther said ho: “In the State of Alabama, there are outlying portions of the mam coal field, known as the Black Warrior, Cahawba and Coosa. The physical configuration of these districts has an important bearing on the future pros pects of their iron manufacture, which, in all probability, is destined to become an important feature in the industrial enterprises of the Southern States. The circumstance of this detached position renders ac eessible other geological formations, which, abounding with certain quali ties of ore as well as flux, present ad vantageous conditions for the eco nomical productions of tlie metal, rarely met with even in Great Britain,” CONCLUSIONS. From the foregoing it is clear that these States can produce cheaper iron, of better quality and in greater quantity, than any other section of the world. With this elaborate array of facts nml t\±x ixjh_ua 7 fiom aom<Kio of tfrer Hi j—H - est authority, so authentic that they cannot be disputed, it is manifest that these States, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, will soon become the Wales of America in reality if our people will make Such an exhibition uf mineral resources at the Centen nial as will convince the most skep tical that this is the goodly land, “whose stoues arc iron, and out of whose hills thou may est dig brass.” W .en this great source of wealth and extensive deposits of zinc, cop per, lead, byrata, marble, kaolin and fire clay, and unparalled water pow er, which does not dry up in sum mer nor freeze in winter, scattered so abundantly over the land, shall be made known and properly ap preciated, capital will How into our borders from the North and East and the Old World until this South-land, so richly dowered by na ture with prolific soil, producing the 4 oliveu’-d the vine,” cotton to clothe the world, corn, wheat, rice, sugar and tobacco to supply its wants, and iron to checker it with railroads, shall become Eye richest known to man. With all these treasures, all these elements of wealth and power, what can prevent our people from becoming prosperous, contented and happy. Yours, truly, Geo. T. Lewis. M. I). Conway has anew definition of genius. Tie says there is nothing like genius in tire common accepta tion of the term. It is simply a mind polished until it shines; pol ished until it catches every color in the air: polished until it catches up and keens on it rays of light even in the darkness, like a marble sphere in the night. CARTERS VILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2, 1575. SOUTHER# RIVERS. Tlw Baltimore Sun and thf Coo-.a Canal From the Mobile Register. The Baltimore San comment* upon the resolutions of the recent Rome ! Convention. It says: We have lie fore referred to a con vention which lately assembled at Pome, Ga., for the purpose of reconi* mending Congress and the Legisla tures of Tennessee, Georgia and Ala bama to pass measures to aid in the connection of the Alabama and Ten nessee river- . or in other v. ords to a.-k Congress to takeout of tlu> pub lic'treasury some hundreds of thous ands of dollars to add to the numer ous water routes of the Southwest. The convention ran into the further extravagance of endorsing “the four great water routes proposed by the Windnui Committee.” Many pea ple§in the West as welt as the South .scorn to think that the gene at gov ernment should come to the aid of Uteir increasing commercial or social requirements. Another great rail road to the Pacific and lines of steam- j ships to Brazil are talked about'as | absolutely necessary, the public ) means of course being relied on. If j they are necessary, we are glad to ! hear of it, and the capitalists seeking j investments will find it to their in-; terests to undertake them. We must protest, however, against the genera! government embarking in any more j such enterprises. It may be well in gay that the J Rome Convention, while endorsing: the internal improvement? schemes j mentioned in the Windom report as necessary to secure cheap transporta tion for Wes;torn grain to the sea board, did not endorse the report it self. It was content to demand of the general government such aid for tiiose scheme s, as well as for the Mo bile anti Tennessee water line, as can be eonstituU mally given. That Con gress jus the power to vote aid to wards the improvement of navigable rivers Is unquestioned. The govern ment has appropriated hundreds of millions to the improvement of Northern and Western harbors and rivers, while the great rivers and harbors of the Gulf have been neg lected. If the present Congress should grant a hundred millions to ward Southern water routes, tiie government would be still a debtor to this section of the Union. It would be economy and not an “extravagance,” if the government should open the Coosa and connect her with the Tennessee. The cost of the work would not exceed $2,500,000 —according to the estimates of United States engineers. In the matter of bituminous coal alone, the million tons which are now supplied to the commerce of the Gulf, to Mex ico, to the West Indies and to South America by Nova Scotia and Great Britain, would present a field for traffic which, in a single year, would return to the United States a greater sum than tiie entire cost of the work would be. No newspaper of ordinary intelli gence can be unaware of the facts set out in the Windom report. There are over 300,000,000 bushels of grain annually seeking an outlet from the West and failing to find It. While the present water channels are choked with freights or obstructed half the year by ice, and while the railroad lolls are prohibitory against all points west of Chicago, we find the markets of Europe being supplied with grain from Russia and the Danube at prices which would give a handsome profit to shippers from New Orleans, Darien, Norfolk or Mobile, were the water routes con necting those cities with the West improved and completed. Grant that the cost of ili-e James river and Ktmawah canal, of the Georgia, Western and Atlantic canal, and of thi Mobile, Coosa and Tennessee ca nal, would be one hundred millions. Large as the sum appears, it is small, compared to the $300,000,000 worth of grain which is now locked up in the interior. Let this wealth of the West be transported by a direct and cheap water line to tho seabord, and we will find the United States repaid three-fold for her outlay in a single year. The friends of the Coosa route, however, do not depend upon the justice which the South has the right to expect from Congress. They look for the success of their scheme to those ordinary grants which no member of Congress can refuse to en dorse. Already the appropriation is sufficient to overcome the obstruc tions at Muscle Shoals and to let steamers pass to the Upper Tennessee. Already, through the sagacity and ability of General Pierce Young, the upper Coosa lias keen placed upon the appropriation list of Congress, and navigation pushed one hundred miles above Rome, to a point within a few miles of the navigable waters of the upper Tennessee. Already our own indefatigable member of Congress, Sir. Bromberg, has secured a survey of the Alabama, the prelim inary step towards placing that river and her continuation, the Coosa, upon the -next appropriation bill. Here, then, we may .say, we have t.n almost unimpeded water way from the mountains of Southwest Vir ginia direct to the Bay of Mobile, with Congress giving us liberal aid ip t on firry tmtj vriHr n oihlng fui" :her to be done except the cutting of a canal of ten nodes and building twelve locks and dams. Certainly there is nothing formidable in the work itself, mid nothing to arouse the alarm or derision of the Sun. Benjamin Franklin’s Thrift. —The Rev. I)r. Hawks, of New York, as historian, of the Protestant Episcopal Church in America, has discoEered some documents which ought to be of interest in Philadel phia about the one hundredth anni versary of American independence. The documents referred to are the private documents of Bishop White, of (Pennsylvania, who relates in one place a conversation that he over heard between two gentlemen at a tavern in a remote country parish. The speakers were a fattier and son, one of whom had been a Tory during the revolutionary war and the other a Patriot. E tch had deeded all his property to the other, and, as the war was now closed, the son, who had been the Tory, wished to'have Ids share back. The father, who seemed to have been a thrifty soul, refused to part with anything*in his possession. The next day the bishop asked che landlord who were the oc cupants of the room from which the conversation had proceeded, aud was informed that they were Benjamin Franklin and his son.

When a dozen newsboys and boot blacks had collected on the Custom House stairs yesterday, and when each one had grown tired of jaw breakers and popcorn halls, “Little English’* remarked : “Sposen Jim Coco*nut tells us a story.” “Spoaen,” remarked all the others. “Well, gentlemen ” remarked Jim after few digs at his head, “ I will tell you a true slorv about a girl. Her name was Manor, and sho had y;.llcr hair, blue eyes, small feet, and *h w-tr worth a million dollars.” ’*lu stamp* *“ asked Uroas-Kyod Dick. “In clean cash, right iu thesavings bank,” answered Jim. “This girl was an orphan, with no one to boss her around, and if she wanted to be out til! eleven r.’clook at night he could. There were piles of fellers after her to marry her, but she stuck up her nose at the whole tu boodle.” “What fur?” anxiously inquired Firecracker Tom. “What fur? Why, she knew they loved her money instead of herself. She wanted someone to love her earnestly and like gosh. Well, one day when she was going down to the Post. Office to see if there was ary mail, a runaway i,ore oamo along. Marier fainted away and sat down in the road, and she’d have been broken all to pieces if it hadn’t been for a bootblack’bout my size. He pulled her into a shooting gallery, brought her to, and then hired a hull omni bus and took her home.” “And they, fell in love and finally married, ” * remarked Suspender Johnson, “No, my fellow-countrymen,” sad ly replied Jim ; gin him ten cents!” “ And is that all?” exclaimed three or four voices. “All she gave him, and that turn ed out to be a counterfeit!” Thera was e long period of silence, and thou Cocoanut Jim continued • “Which is a lesson to us never to marry a girl worth a million dollars.” “And we never shall I” they sol emnly replied. Conflicting Reports of the Cotton Crop- Tiie New York Herald calls atten tion to a matter of supreme impor tance io all growers, dealers In and manufacturers of cotton the ap parently irreconcilable difference be tween the reports of the National Cotton Exchange and those oi the Agriculturpl Burea at Washington and gives the annexed table, com prising the estimates of the crop of the United States, based on October and November reports from those sources, as showing the inconsisten cies and contradictions complained of: Cotton Agricultural Average. Exchange, Bureau, bales. bales. bales. October 3,876,000 4,222,000 4.049.000 November... 4,197,000 3,853,000 4,025,000 Averages ...4,038,000 4,037,000 4,037,000 In New York, the impression seems to prevail that the report of the National Cotton Exchange for October was manipulated in the in terest of the bull party to the specu lation which was then in progress; and it is also believed that the con struction which has been put upon the November report of the bureau is forced and unnatural—ignoring, perhaps, the increased acreage, and the fact that the increased percent ages of yield take place in sections where the greater proportion of the crop is usually grown, and the de creased percentages in sections where the growth of cotton is at the best not large. Should the November estimate of the Agricultural Bureau prove correct, the receipts at the ports must henceforth show a falling off. A Political Ishmaelite’s Career. The failure of Mark M. Pomeroy, better known as “Brick,” is an nounced in New York. The career of this man furnishes matter for an extraordinary chapter in the history of American journalism. He first gained notoriety in LaCrosse, Wis., through his paper, the Democrat, at a time when the politics of the coun try were in a very chaotic state. Possessing some little wit and a su perb command of Billingsgate, he assaulted the Republicans in his ne culiar manner, and, although he did the Democratic party but little good, he succeeded in running the circula tion of his paper up to a very respec table total. Puffed up by success, he removed to New York and started a two cent daily, with very disastrous results. The money he made in Wisconsin melted away like snow before the sun, and after a time he was compelled to suspend Lis new enterprise. With the hope of repair ing his broken fortunes ho threw all his strength into the weekly Demo crat. People were tired of the inde cency and blackguardism with which it was tilled, and his subscribers fell a wax’ by thousands, while the sale of the paper through the newsdealers stopped altogether. For the last two or three years he has been a journal istic outlaw, barely succeeding in keenitm (l '° t~>*moerat alive, and the new's of his failure will occasion no s u prise. His liabilities are $140,000, and his assets nothing. —Louisville Ledger. Biennial Session. —The Hon. John \V. Wofford, in his letter to his constituents, giving his reasons for resigning his seat in the State Senate takes occasion to give his views in regaid to the frequent ses sions of the Legislature under the present law. The Senator is in favor of biennial sessions, and gives brief but pertinent reasons for his position. We have heretofore, on more than one occasion, advocated such a change in our organic law, as will allow us to hold biennial sessions only, and time only strengthens us in this conviction.— JVeicnan Herald. George A. Merriarn, the managing editor of Henry Ward Beecher’s journal, the Christian Union, has re signed. The Christian Union has been losing botii circulation and ad vertising patronage so rapidly since, the close of the scandal trial, that the publishers were constrained to reduce expenses. Oliver Johnson will re tire from the paper en the Ist of January. His contract, which was for three years at 85,000 a year, ex pires on that date, and he lias not been requested *o remain. The maddest finan in Wisconsin is Leigh, of Oconto. He was a candi date for member of Assembly, and being a conscientious man, voted for his opponent, who was elected by just one majority. —-*#*- "The American girls,” says Yon Bulqw, “put more soul into their playing than the English girls do.” He says that in America, Professional Cards.
