The Sooth to 4tocom« th» Great Iren
. ... ‘ Hart of the World*
Commenting on the xeoent shipments
to England of Alabama .and Georgia
pig iron, adverted to in these columns
over a week ago, the United States
Economist savs it has been the opinion
of American iron masters for some time
past that iron ore was destined to be
come an important article of commerce
between the United States and Great
Britain. This view was based on the
superior mineral wealth of this country,
and also on the surface character of the
ores, which requires comparatively lit
tle mining. But the shipment* from
Borne, Ga., indicate that the time has
come a little sooner, and in a somewhat
different shape than was expected. It
will be found on examination, however,
that the shipments are from the short
eat or most direct line from the area of
production. At present transp rtatian
from the Pennsylvania iron field' is too
much in the hands of monopolists, and
is too oostly to permit it to be seriously
thought of. The remarks of the Econ
omist upon the important results fore
shadowed by this initial movement,'are
so apt and just that we transcribe them
entire:
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 Tennessee
to Alabama iron ore may be obtained
With comparatively little labor an I cap
ital, and the only wonder is that the
attention of capitalists had not long
since been directed to it. Bat the
country was almost sealed up to enter-
8 rise before the war, and it is only since
ie recovery of produce that its import
ance has been folly demonstrated. It
may not be generally known that dar
ing the last few years large amounts of
northern capital, and the largest pro
portion from this city have been invested
in southwestern mines. In this con
nection we may mention the names of
Moses Taylor, Wm. B. Astor, John
Jacob Astor, Thomas Dickson, and Le
roy Gannon among the heaviest invest
ors. Probably still larger investments
have been made on account of English
capitalists
The merchants and capitalists who
invested their money in these nndertak
ings did not intend that it should be
idle, and it is not improbable that the
shipments of iron above alluded to may
be the first fruits of the far greater tide
that is to come. Onoe establish the
fact that raw iron can be produced in
this country as cheaply as it can be pro
dneed in England, and we shall see the
mineral regions of the southwest con
verted into the centres of industry.
But, apart even from all considera
tions of rivalry with England, we still
have in the mineral resonrees of the
southwest the bases of most flourishing
industries, and of a mighty commerce.
On the Kanawha mountains, on the line
of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
the iron may be detached by crowbars,
and placed on the railroad cars for
transportation. It is nearly the same
in the long mineral belt extending
through Tennessee beyond Ohattanooga
mountains to the southern spur of the
Alleghaniee. The supply seems well-
nigh inexhaustible. It will be hundreds
of years before it will become necessary
to resort to the deep mining the same
as in England. With such advantages
the United States should become the
ohief iron producing country in the
world. All that is required to accom-
J lish this destiny is the removal of the
urdens on labor which renders this
the dearest produoing country in the
world. With a moderately liberal com
mercial policy on the part of congress,
should soon recover the markets in
South and Oentral America, and also in
the West Indies.
It only remains to notice the facilities
for transportation between the south
western coal aud iron fields and the
Mormon MArrUges.

apart for the plebeians, aud Wednesdays
for the aristocracy. As early as half-
past six o’clock in the morning are seen
women and men—elastic youth and tot
tering age—all heading toward this
Mecca of Mormonism, each carrying a
little half-concealed parcel; this con
tains their t ndowment clothes, which,
of coarse, they mast put on before they
can receive their endowment blessings
or get married. This endowment suit
proper is what might be called a shirt
and pants made into one garment, some
thing like what we used to wear when
we were wicked little boys, excepting
that these are not buttoned up at all.
This straight jacket is made of cheap or
coarse material, arc <rding to the pover
ty of the sinner. Emblems of the cross
are worked over the heart and right,
knee. A large flowirg robe of white
mnalin is thrown over the endowmenter,
and then he is pnt through the mill of
Zion. But if he also wishes to marry,
he must, before putting on his attenu
ated pants and night shirt, take a bath
and be anointed with olive oil, a bottle
of which every intended Benedict brings
with him. Formerly the celestial mar
riage occupied several hours, and was
very ceremonious; but since so much
marrying is being done, it is rushed
through in a more practical and busi
ness-like manner, thus affording an op
portunity to marry oftener.
CELESTIAL MARRIAGES.
I have been given an account of the
“ celestial marriage,” which I send you
for what it is worth. I am loth to be
lieve that the ceremonies are eo revolt
ing as they are pictured by my inform
ant, and indeed I place little reliance
on the story. Still it is valuable as
showing how the people here look upon
the peouliar institution,
After being properly bathed—which
typioally washes away the sins of the
world—the victims are anointed from
head to foot with olive oil, which the
bjride and groom must furnish. This
oil is poured over them from a small
horn, called the horn of plenty. Thev
then don their endowment clothes and
ascension robes, and are led into a typ
ical garden of Eden, in the center of
whioh is a shrubbery tree about three
feet high, from the green boughs of
whioh are suspended bunches of grapes;
no apples are in sight. Reclining at
the foot of this tree is his Satanic maj
esty, or the serpent, as the case may be,
clad in blaok cloth tights. Tl is char
acter is generally assumed by Councilor
Wells, because of his peculiar fitness
for that role—possessing a reddish and
sharp face and large, hooked nose, re
sembling the “make-up” of “Zamiel”
in the Blaok Crook. This character-
serpent immediately commences a flir
tation conversation with “Eve.” At
first she slowly shakes her head ; finally
she hesitates, and then, of coarse, Bhe
is lost—typically. The ‘ 1 Savior” (Brig
ham Young) appears, and a “scene”
occurs. Several have happened in fam
ilies since. Their robes are-taken off
by a servant in waiting, (an extra char
acter rung in,) and aprons of genuine
fig leaves are given them, which they
rat on, and are driven from the garden
>y the “ Savior” (Brigham Young) into
an ante-room, where they are married.
