(Slmuntj Jltspatcj). Mondnv Rvenliip, April 26, 1858. 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 est : Countries. Annual revenue Debt. G. Britain, £70,000.000 £800,000,000 France, 02.000,000 225,000,000 Austria, 25,000.000 180,000.000 Russia, 35.000,000 170.000,000 Prussia, 15.000.000 32,000,000 At Nortlifield, Vt., at 8 o’clock this morning, April, the 22nd it was snow ing, and right inches of snow had fallen during the night. | 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. :> -•©*<-- e The marriage of Miss Toombs to Mr. 1 Du Bose was a splendid affair. The sumptuous character which ladies' cus i tume has of late assumed, lias seldom 3 been so elegantly displayed as in the i ' group of ladies assembled. 1! .

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.

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 selves York Gazette.
