Amt-vlcnn Iron.
Since the beginning of the present
century, the manufacture of Iron in
this country has been constantly in
creasing, and will, with the fosterin'-'
care which ought to be bestowed upon
enterprises of such importance, at no
distant day supercede the imported ar
ticle.
In quality, the American Iron is ac
knowledged to be superior to the En
lish. The iron made in Sweden, is,
however, still preferred for certain qual
ities it uniformly possesses.
The iron-furnaces of Sweden being
under the care of the Government, are
operated under certain fixed rules and
regulations ; the whole subject of iron
manufacture having been sounded to
its lowest depths, and all the light that
science, experience, art and invention
could bestow has been concentrated to
develope the best results. And the
principles once ascertained, the working
of a system once in operation, goes on
without interruption ; the same blast is
always blowing, the same charge al
ways heating, and the same iron al
ways runniug.
But Sweden must at no distant day
prepare to relinquish her tarde with
America; for the strife for supremacy ,
*in the iron market has already begun;
the blooms are now heating even in
Georgia, which will, w'hen subjected to i.
the rolling process, roll the scales from S,
the eyes of many a blacksmith and ma- I,
Cbinist, and they will indeed see that |
American iron must rule the American
market.
Nothing ever gives us more pleasure
than to report progress in the direction
* of the developemcnt of the resources of
this country. Our mineral wealth is J
peerless in extent, unapproachable in
richness, easy of acqusition and open to
all. In this direction lays the Philoso
pher’s stone, and the alchemy which
can turn it all into gold, is latent in tin
enterprise of the people.
We rant about Congressional corrup
tion, about Kansas, as if the existence
of the one, or the complexion of the
other, effected our personal prosperity.
But the real wealth-abiding, humanity
serving, luxury-extending industrial
enterprises of the age are left to strug .
gle on unappreciated in their exertions,
unrewarded for their sacrifices.
Nature has so arranged it that where
iron is found, coal is not usually far dis
tant. In Upper Georgia there i$ an
abundance of ore of a superior quali
ty ; coal of various kinds is also found,
and of just the right kind to assist in
smelting the ore.
The improvements in the machinery
and processes of making iron at Etowah,
have recently been carried to such an
extent that the quality of the iron is
now superior. Hr. Hicks, the Secretary
of the Company, is indefatigable in his
exertions for improvement, and with the
great business talent and energies of
Maj. Cooper, the Etowah Iron will soon
reach the position it already deserves in
the confidence of the mechanical world.
Our Legislature, free in its munifi
cence toward Railroads, Colleges and os
tensible objects of internal improve
ment, has been singularly oblivious as
to the ivou and coal of the
State, and we commend the people of
Georgia to a policy dictated by the most
obvious regard for her prosperity.

Method!*! Publication House.
The Methodist are about to open in
the city of New Orleans, a large hook
depot for their Nashville publications.
The establishment at Nashville has al
ready published large editions of more
than four hundred works, requiring an
outlay of over $450,000. These works
are published in a style of typography
that will compare favorably with the
best work of publishing houses North.
New Orleans offers a fine point for the
distribution of these works, throughout
the entire South, and the ability of the
Methodist alone to set on foot a publi
cation house of such resources, and ca
pable of suppiping such a field, is a
source of hearty congratulation to the
friends of Southern progress.
It is to be hoped that a movement
will be made toward establishing a
Southern School Book Publication House,
by some organization—since private en
terprise is likely to accomplish very lit
tle iu that direction. Cannot our ap
proaching Commercial Convention set
ou foot a stock company for such a pur
pose?
Strength of the Powers.
In view of the probability of the gen
eralwarin Europe, resulting from the
present complications, we deem the fol
lowing statement of the financial re
sources and military and naval strength
of the great powers, of especial inter

Texas Bounty bands.
All persons who served in the Texas
► Revolution and the heirs of such as
have died, says the Montgomery Oonfed
eralion, are entited to bounty lands, but
the Legislature of Texas has limited the
- time for application to be made, which
time has nearly expired, and when it
1 does expire, the claimants who have not
1 then applied will be barred forever and
lose their rights.

The Orslnl Demonstration In New
York.
An enthusiastic demonstration in be
half of Oesini, riERBi and Planori, the
conspirators against Natoleox, was held
in New York, on Thurday night. The
Sun says:
There were, at least, three thousand j
persons in the procession, composed of
almost every nation in continental Eu-;
rope. The catafalque was proceeded by
a large band composed of Italians with
scarfs, and a very gentlemanly repre
sentation of Italians with torches,
scarfs and black kid gloves, acted as
pall bearers. There were but two other
bands, beside the one proceeding the
catafalque. •
The following are the societies that
took part in the procession : Itifle Com
pany of New York Turnvereins, in cit
izens’ dress, without arms; Williams
burgh Turvereins, Bloomimlale Turnve
reins, New York Turnvereins, and rep
resentatives of other nations. There
were Prussian, Austrian, French, Ital
ians and American flags, and hundreds ,
of torches, paper lanterns and only one
transparency, on which was inscribed ,
“The Martyrs of Liberty.’’
Resolutions of sympathy for the; <
“martyrs in a most holy cause” were. *
adopted, and speeches were made in the. ,
Italian, French, German, Polish and \ ]
[English language. The whole proceed-;
jings were orderly, though it is cstima-j
[ tod that ten thousand persons lined the [ j
| streets through which the procession s
passed. | j
Such an exhibition of rampant red!,
republicanism, while it is a sad common- j ;
tary on the incendiary elements which [ I
constitute the population of New York, [ ‘
jis a notable illustration of the tolerant! ]
i and stable character of our institutions. ! •
Speaking of this carnival of assassins, 11
the Express cautions the police to watch [
those who figure in it, becanse we may
be sure that he who has murder on hisj
lips, has it in his heart—and that an
assassin in principle is just as carefully [
to be watched as an assassin in fact.
THIKTY.FIFTH CONGRESS. i
Washington, April 22, 1858. (
SENATE. <
The only business of interest tranac- ]
ted during the morning hour was '
the presentation by Mr. Seward of ;
the reply made by the American Tele-1
graph Company in refutation of the al- I
legations contained in the recent me
morials of Amos Kendall and the Morse
telegraphic interest. The document
was referred to the same committee — j
that of the judiciary—and ordered to
he printed
Mr. Mason’s resolution respecting the:
difficulty with Paraguay was taken up j
and discussed till the expiration of the |
morning hour, when the Deficiency bill
was taken up.
Mr. Collamer opposed it on the ground(
that it is unconstitutional to authorize!
the President to resort to force, and 1
urged that pacific measures only shall!
be used by the Executive.
Mr. Mason urged the necessity of em- j
powering the President to use force, in
case pacific measures shall he insufficient!
and contended that there is no violation
of the constitution involved.
A communication was received from
the Secretary of the Navy, in answer to
a resolution inquiring as to the condi
tion of the Susquehannah, on her arri
val at Jamaica. The statement is con
firmatory of what has already been
published in the newspapers of the
day.
The deficiency hill was taken up and
discussed.
HOUSE.
i The House proceeded to the conside
i ration of the bill presented by Mr. Mor
| rill, donating lands to tile several States
| for the benefit of agricultural and me
chanic arts.
The House refused to table to tlie bill
j —yeas 84, nays 100.
Mr. Cobb made a speech against the
(bill, when it was passed—yeaslo4, nays!
101.
| [The money derived from the sales of j
the lands to he invested as a perman-'
jentfund, and the interest applied to
the support of colleges for the agricul
! lure and the mechanic arts.]
The House, in committeof the Whole
|on the state of the Union, considered
jthe bill granting pensions to the officers
(and soldiers of the War with Great Bri
tain of 1812, and those engaged in the
(Indian war during that period.
* *o*
Lfah and the President.
( It is believed here by many that the
(project of sending Peace Commissioners
,to Utah did not result from any studied
! policy on the part of the President and
( his advisers, but rather from the sug
gestions of the Utah delegate, Mr(
Bernhisel. This gentleman has been
| minutely familiar with the feeling of
| the Government and the nation, and
with ail the preparations that have
! been going on for conducting warlike
j operations against the Mormons.
| He has sense enough to know that if
(we once open the war, the utter exter
| urination of his people must he the in
jevitable consequences. He has seen
j enough to be convinced that, whatever
| obstacles and difficulties may tempora
rily intervene, the whole power of the
(United States, will, if necessary, he put
(into operation to produce submission or
(crush out the rebels entirely.
| As I have told you before, this hoary
| old patriarch is no fool. Tnat he has
(been and is in constant correspondence
with Brigham Young, there cannot be
j the least doubt. My impression is that i
jhe has lately advised him of the mad-j
ness of defying the General Government
(and that in order to let themselves
(down from their defiant attitude, with-j
( out wounding their pride or sacrificing!
( their assumed supremacy, this project of
| a peaceful conference has been proposed. |
j However this may be, the temporizing
| policy of the Administration cannot bej
j too severely deprecated. Andrew Jack-!
son would have ended these Utah diffi-|
(culties months ago.
Important Decision.
> In the District Court of Alleghany
5 county, Pa., held at Pittsburg, on a writ
of habeas carpus, Mrs. Margaretta Hamil
ton sought to recover the guardianship
1 of three of her children, aged, respectiv
■ ely, 13,11 and 9 years, who, by their
, father’s will, had been taken from her
protection and confided to relatives of
tiie father, to be brought up in the Pro
testant faith. The Court decided that
the father had a right to “devise the
custody of any minor child during his
or her minority,” to any person whatso
ever. and as it was not shown that tire
children were in any way restrained of
their liberty, the mother's application
was not allowed, hut the children were
remanded to the custody of their uncle.
Natural Curiosity.
A recent traveler in Northern Texas
mentions, as a natural curiosity, in the
I valley, at thefootof theCanadianMoun
! tain, “a large bed of natural brick,
[ which are about three times the size of
ordinary brick, and are as perfect as
though they had been manufactured in
the best-arranged brick kiln in the coun
try.” We must infer from this, that
these large bricks are a natural product,
created as rocks.
Lola Moxtez a>d Mrs. Cunningham.—
It is rumored that Lola Montez is about
buying a house iu New York, for the
purpose of making it her permanent
residence, and adds that recently she
paid a visit to Mrs. Cunningham, of !
Bnrdell notoriety, and had a conversa
tion with her of several hours, which
' resulted in a conviction that she did not
commit tire murder efDr. Bnrdell. She
thought there was devil enough in her
eye to have done it, but says she is en
tirely too weak a woman tohavo planned i
or executed it. It is rumored that Mrs. .
Cunningham is reduced to extreme pov
erty, and that to make a living she 1
employs her daughters for the basest
purposes.
j
Business lii IVew York.
Money increases in abundance, and '
rates tend steadily downward. At Bank
six months paper has been passed to-day f
at five per cent. A leading banking |
house has retired its paper due in May .
at par, and to a large extent. All 1
sound paper passes at low prices, and 1
for the moment the owners of capital (
are obliged to content themselves with
rates per annum no greater than were
paid per month in October. In other
words, in the mouth of October, 1857, .
capitalists through panic, were able to
i buy tlie best names of the city at 4 per <
j cent, per month discount. In April,
18-58, the activity of trade is so much
i diminished, that those who buy paper
| can do nothing better than take it at 4
| per cent, per annum. At both periods
the rates are alike unnatural, Trade re
vives so slowly that the rate of interest
must go still lower from the accumula
tion of money at the great centres. Sil
ver is now a burden to its owners, and
can be had at 1-4 a 1-2 per cent, dis
count. Gold is also burdensome to the
banks, which have now a dead weight
in coin quite too large for profit to
shareholders.
The Dry Goods Trade, is improving.
. j Second orders for Spring goods are com
jing from the West and South, which
, | looks well. Orders are going out more
t freely for foreign goods to arrive in the
- fall. There are symptoms of an ineveas
j ed importation, then. Many buyers
went to Europe by the Persia—the first
a large flight for a very long time past.

(IT Wistar’s Balsam of

The greater the value of any discovery the high

much iu proportion is that public liable to be

Now that this preparation is well known to be
a more certain cure for tbe incipient CONSUMP
TION, ASTHMA, LIVER COMPLAINT, COUGHS,
BRONCHITIS, and all similar affections, than any
other remedy known, there are found these vil
lainously wicked as to concoct a spurious, and

HIT O x y g e Mated Bitters.—
The annexed statement of Prof. A. A. Hayes, M.
I)., State Assaycr, is ample testimony of the
scientific manner in which this medicine is com
pounded, and recommends it to professional
men :
An opinio”, having been asked for of me, in
consequence of the formula for preparing Oxy
genated, Bitters being known to me, I express
the following in form :
The composition of these Bitters includes those
medicinal substances which experienced physi
cians have long resorted to for special action on
the system, when deranged by Fevers, Dys
pepsia, Agues and General Debility, resulting
from exposure or climate influence.
These are rendered permanent, and remain
active iu this preparation, as a consequence of
the scientific manner in which thy are combined.
It was a well founded inference that the pre
paration used in smaller or larger doses, would
prove a valuable General Medicine, which ex
perience has demonstrated.
In this medicine no metallic salts cun be found
by the most delicate chemical trials.
Respectfully, A. A. HAYES, M. D.,
Assayer to the Slate of Massachusetts.
No.l Pine-street, Boston, Dec. 10, 1852.
6ST I)r. Sanford’s Liver In
vlgorntor is the name of a medicine invalu
able to invalids or those troubled with Liver
Complaint, Jaundice or General Debility, with
derangement of the system or loss of appetite.
It has one peculiarly, not common to mosi
medicines, that is, the Dbctor only recommends
it for the cure of Liver Complaint, or such dis
eases as arise from a disordered Liver, and how
well it bears the recommendations given is
known to all who use it. We never have known
a medicine of any kind to perform such a-tonish
ing cures as has been by the INVIGORATOR. II
seems to strengthen and invigorate the whole
body, increasing the vital energy, and giving s
flow of health to many whose ills were consul
ered incurable. We can recommend it know
iugly as a family medicine, for it has been oui
best friend in many an hour of sickness. Wc
wish all to try this remedy and satisfy them

j Several persons have been under the impres
sion that by registering in the city they were
relieved from State tax upon their polls. Such
is not the case. All persons citizens of the
United States, between the ages of twenty-one
' and sixty who reside hero are at least subject
j to poll tax, and all persons are required by law
to come forward and give in. By so doing, you
will save yourselves from being returned as de
faulter and double-taxed, and me from the dis
agreeable duty of having to do it.

CERTIFICATE:
We have careful 1* examined the Gins and F.x- j
hausting Apparatus of l)r. H. G. Dayton, intend- j
ed for the preservation of Fruits, Vegetables, >
Eggs, Butter, &c., Ac., and find them construct
ed upon philosophical principles, and admirably
adapted by tfieir simplicity and cheapness for
common domestic use. The valvural arrange
ment, effected liy a bit of oil silk, laid over an |
orifice in the Tin Disc covering the jar, and j
woich allows a free escape of the contained air ;
into the chamber of the Exhauster, and instantly
and eff ctuahy closes by the re-admission of at
nmsphere by the removal of the gum elastic
ball cover, lias long been in use, and is highly
approved by Mr E. T, Ritchie, Philosophical In
strument-maker, in 80-ton, and h s been sue
cessfully employed by ourselves in controlling!
the action of Chamberlain’s pow< rful I.ever Ai -1

adaptation ol Mr. Dayton’s improvements will j
deservedly recommend them to popular favor.
