Ol'K IRON INTKRKSTS.
We puhlislv hi auothcr column a most
encouraging view of the iron interest* of
this country which, is from the United
States Economist. We call the attention
of our iron masters to the article with
pleasure because we think it is an en
couraging outlook for them, and its re
sults will end very greatly, we trust, in
the rebuilding of the material prosperity
of this section. The iron interests around
Rome have suffered so seriously from the
effects of the panic of 187ft, that every
indication of future success is doubtless
hailed by those directly iutcrcsted in
them with great delight, and the viow
taken of the subject by tho Economist,
good authority upon such topics, will
give them fresh encouragement.
There is no reason why the iron trade
of Rome may not become of vast propor
tions and profit upon a revival of the fi
nancial condition of the countiy. With
the very best ore in the world and all tho
facilities for reducing it into pig metal,
at cheap rates, there is no reason why
the experiment already made of export-
jug to England may not lead to the most
satisfactory results. For ordnance nnd
all smith purposes tho iron of this section
is not surpassed as has been decided by a
a test made under the auspicies of the
Naval Department of the General Gov
ernment.
To succeed well our iron companies
should he formed with nn eye to the
greatest economy as to the management.
If we are correctly informed, we have
had too many salaried officers, who have
absorbed too much of the profits of such
onterpris*.s. Too much of President and
too much of superintendent and assistant
superintendents, with a retinue of useless
officers, will kill out any enterprise, es
pecially when the men who fill these of
ficers have no practical knowledge of
making iron. Their names, therefore,
afford mere ornaments to be affixed to
letter and bill heads without any benefi
cial results to tho enterprises which are
taxed for the useless luxury of official
display.
Let our iron companies organize with
practical men as their officers and with
as few of them os it is possible to ge 1
along with. None but trained and hon
est men, men of intelligence who under
stand their business, are fit to muuage en
terprises of the sort. If our iron inter
ests can only he well managed by sensi
ble, practical men, it will be found, we
think, that they will all eventually pros
per and build up this couiitry.
NORTH AND SOUTH RAILROAD.
ft soldiery as ever took up arms for
the right.
We would not commemorate fhe day
to keep alive tho passions of the war;
but reverently turning from tho busy
walks of life,, ive should visit the graves
of the silent martys of a cause that was
holy to every Southern heart. These
sons of tho “Lost Cause” gave up their
lives for what they believed to be a liv
ing principle. As mothers and wives
sent their husbands and sons to battle,
it was promised they should never he
forgotten, and that, if they fell, their
memories should be enshrined in a
cause no less sacred than dear to us
all. The purple tide of Hood flowed
for freedom, but the Southern Cross
went down in disaster bathed with the
blood of our people; but tho dust of
those who bore it lie smouldering ih
the grave, and it is all appropiate that
we should annually visit these sacred
spots and bestrew them with Spring’s
earliest and freshest flowers, to decorate
them with those tokens of our love and
affection
iran masters for some time past that
ir.,n .m' was destined to become an
nut article of commerce bc-
tiyeeu tho United States and Great
Britian.
This view was based on the
superior mineral wealth of this coun
try, and also on the character of the
ores, which requires comparatively lit
tle mining. Rut the shipments from
Rome, On., indicate that tho time lias
conic a little sooner, and in a somewhat
different shape than was expected. It
will he found on examination, however,
that the shipments are from the short
est or most direct line from tho area of
production. At present transporta
tion from the Pennsylvania iron
fields is too much in the hands
of monopolists, and is too costly to
permit it to be seriously thought of.
The remarks of the Economist upon
the important results foreshadowed
by this initial movement, are so apt
and just that we transcribe them en
tire :
The shipments already made consist
of pig iron from Alabama and Georgia,
constituting a portion of what is prob
ably the cheapest and richest mineral
deposits in the world. From Tennes
see to Alabama iron ore may be obtain
ed with comparatively little labor and
The Greenville Vindicator is second
ed by the Columbus Enquirer in the
desire to deflect and continue the North
and South Railroad via Greenville to
Atlanta, where it would become a feed
er of the State Road. The Enquirer
suggests that the counties of Muscogee,
Harris and Meriwether jointly buy the
road with reference to such am exten
sion. Tho financial condition of the
former county is especially favorable.
Atlanta would gladly welcome tho en
terprise.
This is a project about which Rome
should have something to say. That
Road, if completed, would be one of the
great Briarian arms of our city’s future
progress, and which we cannot safely
see diverted in another direction. La-
Grange, Carrollton and Franklin are no
less interested in this m titter. The
people along the line have vested rights
in the enterprise which they should
not allow to pass out of their hands
without a great effort to utilize them
But, unfortunately, Romo is in no
condition to do anything to avert the
proposed diversion if seriously enter
tained with any prospect of cosumma-
• ting it. Had it not been for the panic
of 1873, we doubt not the North anil
South Railroad would, by this time
have been in a fair way to completion.
The Constitution says Gov. Bard has
not resigned the Atlanta postmastership
and will not. That paper thinks the tel
egram purporting to have come from the
P. M, G, is more fishy than otherwise.
Maybe Bard will hang on to Grant’s
picture yet. If he is unanimously a good
P. M. we don’t see why he should be dis
placed. We are for Bard yet. He is a
good, companionable man, and we like
him.
Palmetto, Ga., has voted the second
time within a year on the prohibitory
question—the last time on Tuesday.
The vote stoodjrestriction 28, against it,
17. We don’t think if the whole town
were to get on a general drunk there
would be much damage done.
We now receive the Commonwealth
about ouce a week. The date of the
20tli reached here on tho 27tli. If that
is a daily paper, it is a mighty long time
between days in the “Gate City.”
We hope there will he a generulturn-. capital, nnd the only wonder is that
out of the people of Rome on the 10th the attention of capitalists had not long
inBt., to decorate the graves of those Uince been directod to it. But the
country was almost scaled up to enter
prise before the war, and it is only
sinco the recoverry of produce that its
importance has been fully demonstra
ted. m ay not be generally known
that during the last few years large
amounts of Northern capital, and the
largest proportion from this city, have
been invested in Southwestern mines.
In this connection we may mention the
names of Moses Taylor, \Vm, B. Astor,
John Jacob Astor, Thomas Dickson,
anil Leroy Cannon among the heaviest
investors. Probably still larger invest
ments have been made on account of
English capitalists.
The merchants and capitalists who
invested their money in these under
takings did not intend that it should
be idle, and it is not improbable that
the shipments of iron above alluded to
may be the fruits of tho far greater tide
that is to come. Once establish tho
fact that raw iron can be produced in
this country as cheaply as it can be
produced in England, and we shall see
the mineral regions of the Southwest
converted into the centres of indus
try.
But, apart, even from all considera
tions of rivalry with England, we still
have in the mineral resources of the
Southwest, the bases of most flourishing
industries, anil of a mighty commerce.
On the Kanawha mountains, on the line
of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
the iron ore may he detached by crow
bars, and placed on the railroad cars for
transportation. It i3 nearly the same in
the long mineral belt, extending through
Tennessee beyond Chattanooga mountains
to the southern spur of the Alleghnuies.
The supply seems well-nigh inexhnusti-
bl •. It will be hundreds of years before
it will become necessary to resort to tho
deep mining the same as in England
With such advantages the United States
should become the chief iron producing
country in the world. All that is requir
ed to accomplish this destiny is the re
moval of the burdens on labor which
render this the dearest produaing coun
try in the world. With a moderately
liberal commercial polioy on the part of
Congress, we should soon recover the
markets in South and Central America,
nnd also in the West Indies.
It only remains to notice tho famil
ies for transportation between the
Southwestern coal and iron fields and
the seaboard. The Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad will bo completed to
Norfolk within a short time, thus af
fording a magnificent outlet for the
mineral resources of tho Virginias. In
Tennessee, and the States further south
the existing facilities are ample, and
will becomo still more so on tho com
pletion of Capt. Eudes’ jetty improve
ments at the mouth of the Mississippi.
In this view Charleston, Savannah,
New Orleans, and even St. Louis will
become, if there is any truth in the al
leged economic relations between pro
ducers and consumers, the Southwest
seems destined, at no distant period
to resound to the hum of important
industries.

THE COTTON FACTORY,
As stated in our last, stock to the
amount of 880,000 or 800,000 has been
subscribed already for a cotton factory
in Rome. The shares are put at 8100
each, so ns to give all a chance to aid
in the enterprise. Five dollars per
share will be required to be paid upon
application for stock, and 810 upon al
lotment ; i. e., when the scrip or shares
are handed to tho stockholders. It is
not expected to call for the payment of
more than 810 per share at any time,
and to give tnirty days notice thereof,
so ns to bring it within tho reach of
everybody, whether business men,
workingmen, doctors or others; and
it is more than likely that all the mon
ey will not be called up sooner than
nine or twelve months.
Mr. Stott, who is here to assist in get
ting up the company, we are satisfied
is a gentleman with the ability and
means to do all he promises, bearing
tlie best of credentials as to his charac
ter, etc. He offers to take stock very
liberally, uud desires to have men
amongst us—men of position, men we
can trust, and men of undoubted verac
ity—as directors in the control of the
company, and thinks if we can do so,
we cannot be far wrong.
Let our citizens have a full meeting
at the City Hall to-morrow night and
raise the balance of the 8150,000 and
go to business at once.
If Col. William P. Pierce can do no
better than going around the Ninth

“gold diggings” in his immediate
neighborhood.
If Col. Estes, running against Ben
Hill in the Ninth District for Congress

two stone-front dwellings.
Secretary Delano, indignant at news
paper reports anil insinuations, now de
clares that lie will postpone his resigna
tion indefinitely. He says he always
meant to have resigned about this time.
The good feeling in Arkansas is evi
denced by the fact that the ex-Fedoral

The ladies bethought them of this ex
pedient. President Freias should keep

The Late Tornado.—The Columbus
Enquirer says that the destructive storm
which passed over Georgia last month
and created such devestation in Harris
county, has been t aced from the Wes
tern Gulf region, where it originated, to
the coasts of Virginia, the Carolinas and
Georgia, and the islands in the ocean.
It reached the coast two days after its
inception. The speed of the wind va
ried from sixty-one to eighty-one miles
per hour—pretty fast traveling. It
was an immense cyclone, reaching over
many miles of territory, with its centre
rapidly moving eastward. The officers
of the Signal Corps have mapped out
its progress.
The guana statistics this year are
significant. It is stated that an exami
nation of the imports at Savannah shows
up to the first of April, a decrease of
nearly six million pounds or about
three thousand tons as compared with
the importations of the previous year,
The Savannah Advertiser, which has
been looking into this subject, says
that a similar ratio of decrease is dis
closed by the figures of Charleston and
of this city.
Speaking of the controversy between
the towns of Lexington and Concord as
to which is entitled to the credit of lmvii g
fired the first shot in the Revolutionary
war, the Philadelphia Press says: “Just
for the sake of keeping the two little
towns from going to war about it, we
might agree to speak of that fight as ‘the
battle of Lexicerd.’”
Memorial Day atAuju. ti
The day was observed with unusu
ally imposing cormouies. The corner
stono of tlie Confederate monumen t
was laid. In his speech, Gen. Evan
said:
“Let us do nothing to keep alive (lie
passions of war. To study its lessons
is prudence; to profit by its teachings
is wisdom, but to stir up old animosi
ties is madness. The voice of tho
monument will not be for war but for
peace. It will say to us, tho Confed
eracy has.expired; it great life went out
on the purple tide of blood that flowed
from the hearts of its sons. Wc have
buried it, we do not intend to exhume
its remains. We are utterly defeated,
and we dismiss our resentments. Sad
ly we parted witli our dear old cross of
stars, which wo followed through many
storms of shot and shell. For it, we
take with the true hand of Southern
honor, the staff that holds the flag of
the stars and stripes. I respond with
the truest feeling to-day to tho fratern
al words of Gen. Bartlett, spoken at the
centennial of the first battle of the old
revolution.”
Afterwards tho Ladies’ Memorial As
sociation decorated with flowers the
graves of the Confederate nnd Federal
dead in the Augusta cemetery.
The Philadelphia Times takes a
gloomy view of the Beecher case. Its
eest calculation makes Saturday, August
i, 1875, the day when tho case will be
given to the jury. Tho rebuttal, it is
claimed,will take a month at least, and
the sur-rebuttal another month. Various
side shows will consume two weeks in
addition. The summing up will last
two weeks, and Judge Neilson will re
quire a week to charge the jury. This
calculation is reasonable, when viewed
in the light of the trial’s progress up to
this time.

Crops about Columbus.—Warehouse
men and commission merchants inform
tho Columbus Enquirer that advices
from their farming friends in various
sections of the county warrant tlie opin
ion that the acreage in cotton this year
will be somewhat less than that of last
year, while that of corn will bo about
the same or a little greater. They also
report that tlie sale of fertilizers has
been much less than for previous years.
As regards growing crops, the corn lias
been more or less injured by the cold
snap, and cotton, so far as up, was
killed, but fortunately only a very
small proportion of the great staple had
come up. Hence the damage to cotton
is comparatively light, while that to
corn will in many instances be over
come without replanting. Fruit , is
badly injured.
A Tariff Decision.—The Treasury
Department has decided that where
goods are imported under the act of 1870

duty under the tariff in force at the time

not under an act passed subsequent there
to, but before their arrival at the interior
port. This decision may involve a chan gc
