COPPERREGION.
Lake Superior Copper Minks The
InTFREST OF PITTSBURGH IX THAT RE
GION Canal at Sault St. Marie
Copper Smelting and Manufacturing
in Pittsburgh. Unless one is conver
sant with what is passing outdoors, and
the undercurrent of business, he is apt to
be ignorant of many of the most import
ant enterprises of the day. . No one who
has witnessed and heard and felt the in
tense excitement among our citizens, du
ring the past month would have suspect
ed that 3 movement was progressing un
derneath it, calculated to have an import
ant influence upon the city, unless he
had kbeen made acquainted wtth it by
tome of those interested. The encoura
ging accounts which we have lately pub
lished concerning the Copper region and
more especially the unexampled and un
expected success of the Pittsburgh com
panies, have excited a very strong spirit
of enterprise among our capitalists.
We have taken pains to inquire into
the extent of the intcerst of Pittsburg in
Copper Mining Companies. The result
is, we have ascertained that several hun
dreds of our citizens are directly interest
ed, and that they have leases from Gov
ernment of at least Fifty square miles,
on Lake Superior. The number of com
panies we have not learned. Besides
about fifty locations which cover the above
extent of territory, a large number also
own more or less stock in other eastern
cumpanies. These facts will serve to
show the extent of the interest of our citi
zens in Lake Superior.
At the head, not only of these, but all
other companies in the Copper Region,
the Pittsburgh company now unquestion
ably stands first, The richness of the
veins they have opened and up to this
period successfully worked, is unparal
leled by ony other than those of Mexi
co and South America. We are well
aware that doubts are expressed as to
their extent and many are the predictions
that they will fail. Perhaps it is well
that it si so. But so far as science can for
see no such result is to be expected. All
the other locations by Pittsburghers so
far as they have been worked promise
well, and even should the silver fail, the
richness of the copper ore must yield a
very large return. Some of that taken
out at Copper Harbor y ields no less than
80 yer cent of pure copper.
From these brief remarks it will readi
ly be seen that the interest of our own
and Eastern Companies, on Lake Supe
rior, has bee ame vrey large. It is also
well known that owing to the obstruc
tions in the river at Sault st. Marie, ves
sels and steamboats cannot pass or repass
that point. There is a portage separa
ting Lake Huron and Lake Superior
about one quarter of a mile across. The
vessels now on the latter Lake were haul
ed over this portage and launched on Lake
Superior. 'Phis is the only obstruction
between Buffalo, Eric or Cleveland, and
the copper country. The ground has
been examincdjby experienced engineers,
end pronounced perfectly practicable for
a ship canal, at an expense of about
$300,000. It could be made this corn
ins: summer and would unlock the im
mensc country, bordering on that great
inland sea. If this canal was completed,
vessels could load with ore at the Mines,
and convev it without breaking bulk to
Cleveland or Erie. The great import
ance of this canal, and the small out-lay
necessary to make it, are so obvious, the
utmost exertions should be made to in
duce Congress to make an appropriation
and cause it to 1e constructed forthwith.
No time to is be lost. We call the atten
tion of our indefatigable representative,
Hon. C. Darrah, tothe matter and urge
those interested, to get np petitions to
Congress with the least possible delay.
Every Pittsburgcr is interested in it as we
will proceed, to show.
We arc pleased to find that so many
of our best men have already realized
large sums from comparatively trifling in
vestments. We are gratified because
they are Pittsburgers, and feel deeply in
terested in her welfare; and beeause they
are so, we arc satisfied every dollar they
gain will be brought directly or indirectly
to swell the wealth of our city, and con
tribute to the developcmcnt of her resour
ce. While therefore we cannot demur
to ihcir making themselves safe bv.hav
ing disposed of stock at prices which cc-
! cure to them handsome .(sums, we hope
j those who now. hold tftock in locations
j Avhichliavc luriietfbWwell, wilPhold to
j it. We arc among those who believe
that the richness of ore in copper and sil
ver will not fail, and we wish to sec the
wealth realised from the mines secured to
our own citizens. Some who have sold
and received large sums for part their
stock, certainly have no inducement to
sell now when the prospects are far more
flattering than they ever were.
We have several times alluded to the
project "of building Furnaces for smelting
the ores, and mills for manufacturing the
copper in this city. The great advanta
ges which we possess in every respect
ought certainly to induce our copper stock
holders to do this. Look at our location.
We are precisely at that point from
whence wc can supply the entire South
West, West, North West, and North at
the lowest rates with the manufactured
article. We not only have access to all
th.'ce sections, but freights, as every busi
ness man knows, are a mere trifle, because
we can ship to any point at the most fa
vorable time. The facility forgetting the
ore is also great. It can be brought to
this city from Erie or Cleveland at very
low rales, much lower than it can be sent
to Boston. Look at the price of coal
any quantity at $1 per ton, and even less
and that of the v ery best quality. Then
there is the difference in the freight from
Boston. The copper now sold here and
in the West is brought from that city;
but an article manufactured here, would
at once take possession of the entire mark
ets enumerated above just as our Cot
ton nulls have excluded erstcrn yarns
from the western market. It is impossi
ble to specify the great advantage of
smelting-our own ores and manufacturing
our own copper, in so brief an article as
this. We arc pleased to know, however,
that one of our citizens, who, when he
undertakes a work, never fails to carry it
through, has the matter in hand, and se
riously contemplates prosecuting it. lie
is a genuine Pittsburgher; and will do his
best to multiply her sources of wealth.
We have thus rapidly sketched "this
new and inviting field in which our city
is now much interested. We have strong
hopes that those of our citizens individu
ally interested will endeavor to make our
own city the great scat of- copper manu
facturing in the West. It is so obviously
their interest to do it, we think the sub
ject needs only to be brought to their
consideration to lead to a decision. But
seme one must take the lead. The furna
ces and mills must be built, whether by
the gentleman we have taken the liberty
to allude tc, or a company. If by the
latter, and a charter is necessary, the pre
sent sessien of the Lcgistature is as favor
able a period as and to procure it. The
cost will be but little to get it, and the
work can be prosecuted at leisure. In a
few months the veins worked by the
Pittsburgh companies will have yielded
some thousands of tons of ore, and if the
furnaces were erected this summer a
stock of ore sufficient to keep them in
operation during the winter could easily
be brought from the Lakes this summer.
The small Pittsburgh companies will
want to sell their ore or have it smelted;
and it would be to their interest to bring
it home if a smelting establisement were
in operation here.
These are the principal points which
will attract attention. The action of
Congress in relation to the Canal at the
Sault, must be invoked immediately, if
the' work is to be done this summer, and
as as it would return hundreds per cent
to the Treasury, we think no diffi
culty will be experienced in inducing
Government to
Gazette.

Tragic Romance i:i Ileal Ufe.
The Winchester Virginian says. A
young woman, named Hoover arrived in
our town, by the cars on Saturday week
last, and from her needy circumstances,
claimed, and received the aid of some be
nevolent citizens. With her was an el
derly lady, her friend who accompanied
her from Lafayette, Ohio. On ther way
fromWheeling and Cumberland, the stage
in which they were, was upset in cross
ing a creek, and a small basket contain
ing some clothing and all the money they
had, was swept down with the stream.
The morning after her arrival, the young
lady hurried on to Cedar Creek, in this
county, anxious to see her parents, who
had left her seven vears ago in the fami
of a friend, being compelled themselves
by sickness to leave Ohio and return to
Virginia in pursuit of health. Her dis
appointment may be conceived, when she
found, on reaching her home, that her
father, anxious about her return, having
collected his little dues and sold some of
his property, had just started for the
West! - But deeper grief awaits her still.
A letter received by our Postmaster, com
municated the sad tidings that her affec
tionate parent on his return home, on
foot, was shot by a man named Martin,
who threw himself into his company
nnder the guise of friendship, and mur
dered him for his little money. The letter
enclosed a part of the old man's shroud.
The murderer was arrested. Imagination
can hardly weave a more tragic tale.
i FOOT TREVTS OX ROCKS.
The St. Louis Rupublican calls to our
remembrance a singular phenomenon
which attracted much attention about
thirty years since, and we glean the fol
lowing description from its columns.
At the early settlement of St. Louis on
the river bank then properly speaking
now, the wharf near what was at that
time extreme low water mark, was to be
seen, in hard limestone rock, the impres
sion of two" feet, so perfect that art
could add nothing to their faultless pro
portions. The road lay along and under
an abrupt ledge of rocks, and the foot
prints were so far to the east as to be un
touched for years. For a considerable
portion of every year they were, of
course, covered by the water, but the at
trition the constant working of the cur
rent and the sand; seemed to make no im
pression upon the smooth and beautiful
slab of rock. A gentleman caused this
stone to be quarried and removed to his
place of business, in 1816 or 1817. It
was taken out in one piece, about eight
feet long, three feet six inches wide and
one foot thick. The feet indicated the
position of a man with his face up the
river. On the face of this stone was a
mark, which, the "gentleman thinks, es
caped the observation of many persons.
"The individual who made these foot
prints stood facing, or looking up the
shore, and while in that position, it ap
pears as if he had reached forward, and,
with a small stick, or with his finger had
made n irregular or oval mark near his
toes. The impression of the oval mark
was about the same depth all round as
that of the foot prints: and in laying off
the stone for cutting out, I brought the- in
ner side of the oval mark to about the
centre of the stone, thereby preserving
the whole entire. It is added, that those
who were quarrying had seen" other foot
prints, and the prints of hands .of chil
dren near them.
This gentleman had the stone in his
possession for some years. What was
then regarded as extravagant sums of
money, were offered for it, although
Gov. Clarke, he says, had proffered a
Frenchman two dollars to quarry out the
rock, and it was declined. It was sold
to Frederick Rapp, of , Harmony, Indi
ana, for $150. The stone was after
wards used, it is said, as a platform to a
church in Harmony, it is now understood
to be preserved in Dr. Owen's museum
of objects of Natural history, at that
place. i;
Tlie existence of these remarkable im
pressions in the rock, is known to nichy.
But, how were they formed? . Were
they the work, of art? And if so, with
what implement were they made? The
race of red men, once the denizens of
this vast territory, had not, so far as
known, the implements necessary to the
execution of so faultless apiece of work,
nor are they known to have exercised
themselves in this way. If not done by
them, how were such impressions made?
If a petrifaction, would not the constant
washing of the water and sand have ob
literated the prints, even while undergo
ing the process of formation? These are
questions upon which casuists may hang
theories, as they have done upon the
mounds, and the prairies, and the extra
ordinary geological formations, confound
ing the wisdom of the wise, the specula
tions of the learned, and the traditions of
the people. Pitts. American."
15 ow England obtained Ireland
The venerable John Quincy Adams, in
his able speech in the House of Repre
sentatives, on Monday of last, weck,while
urging the validity of our title to Oregon
said:
"The Pope was in the custom of. giv
ing away not only all barbarousjeountrics,
with all their inhabitants, .but at timcs,civ
llized countries too. He dethroned sov
creignsdaid their kingdoms under an in
terdict, and excommunicated them; and
all this was submitted to. And the Gov
ernment of Great Britain at this day holds
Ireland by no other title. Three huiv4
dred years before the grant to Ferninnd
and Isabella, Pope Adrian gave Ireland to
Ilentry II. of England; and England holds
the Island under that title now, unless,
indeed she sets up another title by con
quest; but Ireland, if in form conquered,
has been in . almost perpetual rebellion
ever since. England has been obliged to
reconquer her some half dozen times, and
if she means to do it again now she must
begin soon. The question has been
raised whether Ireland shall be independ
ent, and if we get into war with England
it will be a pretty serious matter for her
to maintain her title." "
CRANBERRIES.

THE YEAR 1S4S.
Since the pending Oregon debate be
gun a very open suspicion has been re
peatedly expressed on the floor of Con
gress, as our readers have seen, and is
quite widely entertained by the observant
part of the Public, that no little of the
movements and a great part of the vio
lence of the speeches is to be referred to
certain aspirations that belong the year of
Grace which we had placed at the head of
this article.
Our neighbor of the Democratic gov
ernment paper evidently likes not these
signs of competition, and thinks that
there are somewhere Republican, say
Democratic, spirits more aspiring than
prudent or modest; and he therefore aJ
monisheth them of late as follows:
"Wc are free to say, too, that it will
operate against rather than in favor of any
man, whose friends should prematurely
and unnecessarily precipitate him upon
the country as their favorite candidate.
It cannot be too. earnestly, too distinctly,
impressed upon every man that it is of
no advantage to any one tolje brought
forward at this time to scheme for his
election to shape measures for his suc
cess; It is rather a serious disadvantage
to any aspirant. It will disgust the peo
ple. It will raise rival interests up a
gainsthira. As in the sports of the turf,
let any man run ahead at first, all the oth
er horses will run agaiust him, and try to
run him down. Let no man, then, pre
tend to suspect us of adhesion, of prefer-
ence to any one of even
dreaming of
any man's election. We would
gravel v
spurn such a supposition, if it were not
almost too ridiculous for serious rebuke
or a moment's consideration."
Let no man be advised enough, th n,
to imagine that the people have, or can be
by war-speeches made to have, any spe
cial favor for him. Should he try it,
there shall be a "run" at him, and the
country's love shall be turned to hate.
And, above all thinga, let nobody - delude
himself with the idea that the "c7Ho,"
means this time to "sink or swim with
Mr. Van Buren," or with any body else,
until after he shall be elected. Attend,
then, all ye that are in a hurry to be great
without leave! Wait till all is ready!
Ye shall all have a chance, if ye do as
ye are bid;" and ye shall all, in due time,
be dealt with as fairly as at the Balti
more Convention.
It is usual and useful, however, after
having ehecked the faithful with the law,
to refresh and encourage their hearts with
prophecy ;accordingly, the "Union," a lit
tle after, permits a dim view of the fu
ture, as follows:
"They(thc peoplc)are not now thinking
of who shall be the successor of Mr.
Polk. The Government belongs to the
people of the several sovereign States.
is theirs to give and theirs to take a-
way tne mgnest onice m their gut; ana
if the President does his duty, as we be
lieve he will, and puts his stamp, by the
success of his measures, on tbe mode of
his selection, it,is for the people to tell a-
gain their most distinguished men to bide
their time, and wait till the people shall
call them into the public service."
Now, this is by no means as clear as it
might be; it strikes us that "the Party,"
the "Cohesives," will comprehend it. If
it means any thing, it means but thus:
"It is the people s to give& the people s
4 to take away or not take Qwa;f the
highest office in their gift; and, Tf the
President does his duty, and puts his
stamp, by the success of his. measures,
4 on the mode of his selection, then the
4 most distinguished men all other can
4 didatcs must abide their time, and salt
4 up their hopes for another season, some
4 four years later than 1848 "
We trust that all other candidates, and
their respective friends, will take heed ac
cordingly. Nat. Intel.
From California.
The Arkansas Gazette says that Mr.
Leavitt has received a large number of
letters with reference to his contempla
ted expedition to California. It is sup
posed that from five hundred to one thou
sand American emigrants will start from
Fort Smith on the first of April, for the
purpose of establishing a colony at San
Diego Bay. That Bay is south of San
Francisco, and situated due west of the
head of Gulf 5f California. It is said
to possess the greatest advantages for com
merce, and to be the most favorable place
in California for a new colony.
The shocks that were felt last Octo
ber in Long Island, Connecticut, and va
rious other places, are explained by late
advices from the East. It appears that
repeated shocks of Earthquakes were felt
at Smyrna, Calcutta, etc. about that time,
occasioning much damage and alarm.
Eight houses fell at Ploumari and forty
more were damaged, as well as some
twenty-five shops and warehouses. On
ly two of the eighty houses at Liskoli
were standing. At Assam there were,
three shocks, two of which were very
violent, accompanied by great noises and
undulations of the earth. At the latest
dates continued shocks were felt at Cal
cutta. "
; From the American Agriculturist.
Tlie prospects of tne Farmers
or tlie L'nited States.
We think wc can discern in the causes
of the present price of products, reasona
bly prosperous condition for the agricul
turists of the United States for some years j
to come. The crops throughout a con- j
siderable portion of Europe have been
seriously diminished during the past sea-'
son, and to . such an extent as to have j
created a large demand for various arti
cles of produce from our own country.
Owing to a bad season, the wheat and oth- ;
er gram crops, not only ol rngtana, oeot
land, and Ireland, but also on the conti
nent, have been somewhat deficient;
while the potatoe rot has cut short this
main article of food from large masses of
the population. The North of Europe,
from which large supplies of grain are
annually draws.Jias partaken to no incon
siderable extent in a deficiency of crop,
while the region of the Black Sea, which
annually exports largely, has at least not
augmented its production. The millions
are to be led abroad, and to no other
country can they look for a full supply of
food but to our own. Added to theunu
sual deficiency of the Eastern hemisphere
a rapidly growing demand has sprung up
in Europe of late years for different items
of American production, such as salted
beef and pork, lard, oil, tallow, hides,
butter, cheese, wool, &c, which has re
lieved our home market of all the surplus
produce at remunerating prices. This
demand is constantly augmenting, and
active, prosperous condition of foreign
manufactures has rendered their continu
al importation a matter of absolute cer
tainty. The operation of our tariff has, on the
other hand.diverted no inconsiderable por
tion of our former agricultural classes
into manufacturers, who have thus shifted
sides & become consumers instead of pro
ducers. So long as this policy shall be
persisted in, a healthy division of the in
dustrial classes of our country will bo
maintained, and the ordinary products of
our farmers will continue to command
fair prices; while the increasing demand
for various articles for their use, hitherto
but little cultivated among us, will gradu
ally induce their production to a large ex
tent, and at profitable prices. Among
these are silk, hemp, flax, indigo, etc.
There is in addition, every probability
of some relaxation in the very stringent
policy of Great Britain, in regard to the
admission of some of our agricultural
staples, such as wheat, flour, and pota
toes, and especially in the most free ad
mission of maize, or Indian corn. Should
this anticipation be realized, we may
confidently rely on a large and perma
nent demand for these staples at such pri
ces as will afford a most satisfactory re
turn to the producer. The exhaustion of
the ordinary supply in Europe, from the
present deficiency, cannot be wholly ob
viated by another season's full crop.
The magazines of grain abroad, which
are providentially filled through successive
years of excess of production, will have
been nearly or quite exhausted before
the next harvest, and the minimum of
price then will not have been rcached,till
several good crops have been secured.
Add to this, population in Europe is rap
idly multiplying under the favoring in
fluences of universal peace, and it has in
many sections already reached that point
when agriculture, in the present state of
its science and practice, is barely suffi
cient to enable production to meet the
demands of the citizens now extensively
engaged in manufactures, commerce, and
the various arts.
To the inhabitants of the Wesf and
Southwestern States of the Union, an ad
ditional cause of renumeration, will be
found in the increasing facilities and di
minished rates for conveying their pro
ducts to market. New and spacious ave
nues arc opening in various directions;
by which their produce will find a direct
and economical transmission to the large
eastern markets. Among these are the
Wabash canal, already navigable some
200 miles, but soon to be completed from
the permanetly navigable waters of that
river to Lake Eric, some 300 miles; the
Miami canal, connecting Cincinnati and
Lake Erie, which, with the former, are
direct highways for western Ohio, and
nearly all of Indiana, Kentucky, and
Tennessee, aud a part of Arkansas and
Alabama; the Illinois canal, to be finished
within the prsent year, and capable of
using similar facilities to Illinois, Iowa,
and Missouri.
Railroads, too, are starting into life m
different directions in the west, and open
ing their iron thoroughfares for the accom
odation of our western farmers, who thus
have facilities for the trasmission of va
rious perishable articles to distant mark
ets, where they can arrive uninjured, and
find a profitable sale, which the hitherto
tardy means of conveyance rendered im
possible. Under all the circumstances of the
prospect before us, we may confidently
say to our fanners, without some material
and adverse policy, in the administration
of our own national affairs, your pros
pects are bright for the immediate future.
Our monetary and industrial system is in
a most healthy condition; reason and
common sense have resumed their reign
throughout the country; the legitimate
avenue of agriculture, foreign aud domes
tic commerce, manufactures, and the
various arts, are all appropriately filled,
and in successful prosecution. It is in
the power of the agriculturists of the coun
try to keep hem where they are. Tho
balance of power is with you. If
true to your own interests, and you right
ly adhere to our present wise system,
along and bright career of prosperity i
before you. Your destiny is in your
hands; and it is for you to watch careful
ly the administration of public affairs, and
sec to it that no false theoretical princi
ples of government, no rampan or unhal
lowed ambition whether national or indi
vidual, be permittedjto thrust disorder into
our present beneficent system, and snatch
from you the legitimate fruits of yonr own
skill and industry lay your plans atoncor
for an increased production in every de
partment of your farming operations, not
by attempting tbe cultivation of moro
acres than you can profitably attend to,
but by enriching, and rendering more'pro
ductivc by careful tillage, what you hava
now under management. Introduce tho
best systems of husbandry into your
practice, the best seeds and the best im
plements; carefully harvest and lay up be
yond the risk of injury or waste, your
surplus crops, and hold them for the best
probable market; avoid running in debt,
and pay such as are already contracted.
With the adoption of such a system rig
idly adhered to, the expiration of the en
suing five years may see you the most
prosperous class within the Union, if
you are not decidedly so at this present
moment.
MELANCHOLY STEAMBOAT AC
CIDENT. fifteen lives lost.
The Steamboat Saladin, from Nash
ville, came in contact, on the night of tho
13th Feb., when near Pilcher's Point,
with the steamboat Congress, going up
the river. Fifteen persons on board the
Congress were killed by tho collision or
subsequently drowned; but their names
are not given. The New Orleans Pica

The cabin of the Congress separated
from the hull and was towed down to
Lake Providence by the Saladin. Tho
hull of the Congrhss immediately sunk.
We learn further that in consequence
of the collisioa the connecting pipes of
the engine of the Congress burst, severe
ly scalding several of her passengers.
The Brunette brought down some of in

and the seam is closer and more uniform
than when sewed by the hand. It will
sew straight or curved seams with equal
facility, and so rapidly that it takes but
two minutes to sew the whole leugth of
the outside seam of a pair of pantaloons.
It sets 400 stitches a minute with perfect
ease, and the proprietor thinks there is no
