Wigton of Huntingdon and ottiers, lorruing the Glamorgan Iron Co n pany, purchased Lewistown Furnace and the ore backs appurtenant, from Ettitig, Gratl & Co. The iurnace had been s ver a I years out of blast and required a com plete overhauling and repairing. This important duty was entrusted to the Super intendent, Mr. George W. Enney, late Superintendent of the St. Charles Furnace, Columbia, and lias been executed by him with masterly energy and skill. The inside of the s tack, except six feet of the inwali, was taken down and rebuilt, the old boilers were fitted on new and more elevated foundations and a new boiler added, the gas apparatus was greatly changed with entire satisfaction, a new and larger steam cylinder was put up, heavy iron segments were bolted to the fly wheel to maintain and steady the power of the engine, the pumps were repaire , a new foundation was Cut it for the engine, the wha'f was enlarged and repaired and the feeder was deepened, two new < re wash ing machines were erected, the McGirk hematite bank and the Wakefield and Ort fossil banks were put in working order and every preparation made for blowing the furnace in. In these arduous labors Mr. Enney was ably supported by the energetic and intelligent President of the company, Mr. li. 13. Wigton, and in many of the minor details by Mr. Jones, the gentle manly clerk, and Mr. Tippery, a most sue cessful and skillful founder. The height of the furnace is 40 feet, width at the boshes 11 feet, hearth 3} feet. On the 9th of September last the fur nace blew in and has continued to work since that time very satisfactorily, yielding seventy five tons of good iron per week; although her capacity is ninety tons per week-—it was considered injudicious to push the furnace at the start. She is somewhat short of fossil ore and uses there fore two thirds hematite and one third fos sil, but. will no doubt soon reverse this proportion, for long experience, particularly at Freedom Iron Works, (whose iron is so justly celebrated,) clearly demonstrates that with two thirds fossil and one-third heiua tite, thoroughly cleaned, the very best iron of Central Pennsylvania is made. The perfect success of Glamorgan Fur nace e.-tablishes, beyond contradiction, that Rroad Top coke, the fuel used by this iuitiaee, is the strongest and purest coke in tlie State; it will b'-or u more powerfn! blast am/ has less sulphur than ay co/ce in Ptunsiflvania ; and it establishes another fact, that the manufacture of iron at this point requires only skill, common sense and capital. An enormous amount of ig norance and its constant companion, pre sumption, has attempted this business in tliis region and failed ignominiously, and will foiever fail, even in the immediate presence of exhaustless deposits of ore, cheap fuel and cheap transportation, but, managed by intelligence and its invariable companion courage, Glamorgan has thus far succeeded and is destined to an eminent and perm inent success. The gentlemen composing the Glamor gau Iron Company have a very large capi tal and great experience in business and j will, we trust and believe, follow their good fortune in Glamorgan and enlarge their works. This is an admirable point for the manufacture of iron; our hills are teeming with the rich oxides and the blueish grey Carbonates of iron in immense lorce, as well as the fossiliferous ores, both soft and compact; a rich magnesian limestone lies close to the Mifflin and Centre County Railroad, which passes through our town and connects with the Pennsylvania Central Railroad directly across the Juniata. We have also the canal, and the rich semi-an thrueite coal field of Rroad Top is within sixty miles. He need nothing but capital The way is now clear, the problem id' the perfect adaptation of Broad Top coal to the iron ores ot tins extensive region is settled, a new era is dawing upon us, the minerals which lie side by side and winch were thus placed for the benefit ot man by the all wise and beneficent Creator, are about to be developed by skill, courage and science OR R SOLDIERS.—The following is ;I list of Killed and wounded in the 49th at the battle of Winchester, as given by Sergt.

Lewistown has S over, Horry even. tQu There was a slim attendance at a Chicago platform meeting in the Town Hall on Thursday evening last, which was addressed by E. Banks and 11. Fry singer, on the nigger theme. Singularly enough the bills calling the meeting were headed Friends of the Soldiers attend, and yet one certainly and perhaps both of the speakers voted against the soldiers having a right to vote ! Friends of the Soldiers, indeed I —A grand mass meeting wii Ihe held at Beiiefonte to-morrow, 6th instant. —II J. Walters, Esq., wasyesterdav elected Cashier of ttie Mifflin Count\ Bank, in place of Mr. Williams, re signed. —A soldier says the statement in the Huntingdon Monitor that the 205 th cheered for McClellan before the Pres ident is tiilse. —We are authorized and requested to say that the statement iu the Dem ocrat that the Union County Commit tee had issued a secret circular " telling that the democrats are now ahead," &c., is a falsehood from beginning to end. —Messrs. Walters and Christy have issued an address to the people of this Senatorial district, in which "spades" are evidently trump, for they appeal to j their record and ask support, not as j purtizans hut as patriots." A discus sion is going on just now as to Mr. Walters' record, and the Ilollidavsburg Register gives Christy's latest as fol lows; "He," (Dr Christy) " hoped to see the time when the North would get down on its knees to Jeff. Davis and the South!" —Do the copperheads at home pray ' for the success or defeat of our armies? : The sneaks admit that the fall of At- : lanta, our successes at Mobile, and I Sheridan's defeat of Early, have dam- j aged McClellan; and if so, is it not a singular thing that McClellan prospects are brightest when rebel prospects are j the same, and that McClellan stock ! depreciates when the Union arms are triumphant! Union men, call your- j selves by what party name you may, i come out from a concern where blue ligiits are so apparent. Belmont, chairman of the patent democratic national committee, is a foreign Jew, who rides about in a §15,000 carriage, with white lacqueys dressed fn European fashion. Benja min, Jet Davis's Secretary of Slate, is a Jew also! Patent democracy must be hard run for leaders when it puts itself into the hands of Jew gold gamblers and speculators, lor not ton out of a hundred of the ten tribes has ever been a benefit to any people*OT any community. ' —G. B. M'Clellan has drawn the pay of a Major General for two years, §6OOO a year, and is now drawing half pay. without rendering a day'sserviee in return for such remuneration. He is now the nominee of a professedly great party —whose success he consid ers beyond the perad venture of a doubt. Why does he not exhibit his confidence in his friends by resigning? —The Chicago Platform claims that the Democratic party, in the past, firmly adhered to the Union and the Constitution. The falsity of this claim is shown by the fact that in every slave State which left the Union to set up an independent Government and inaugurate u bloody civil war, the Item oeratir paYfy was in power. lit L MARKETS.
