The Glamorgan Furnace of Lewistown
In March last, the Messrs. Roberts, R
Jj. Wood and Lewis T. Watson, of Phi la
delphia, R 13. 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

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.

YX7OLF'S celebrated Hanover Gloves, just ;
ft received by R.F.ELLIS. j
U. S. 7-30 Loan.
jhHE Secretary of the Treasury gives notice that
will bo received for Coupon Treasu
ry Notes, payable three years from August 15th. 1804,
with semi annual interest at the rate of stven and
toreo-tenths per cent, per annum—principal and in
terest both to be paid in lawful money.
1 hose notes will be convertible at the option of the
holder at maturity, into six per cent, gold bearing
bonds, payable net less than five nor more than twen
j ty years from their date, as the government may elect.
They will be issued in denominations of SSO. SIOO, S6OO
SIOOO and SSOOO, and all subscriptions must be for fifty
dollars or some multiple of fifty dollars.
The notes will be transmitted to the owners free of
transportation charges as soon after the receipt of
the origtnal Certificates of Deposit as they can be pre
pared.
As the notes draw interest front August 15. persons
i making deposits subsequent to that date must pay
| the interest accrued from date of note to date of ue-
I posit.
J'ariies depositing twenty-five thousand dollars and
upwards for these notes at any one time, w ill be al
lowed a commission of one quarter of one per cent.,
which will be paid by the Treasury Department upon
the receipt of a bill for the amount, certified to by the
officer with whom tlie deposit was made. No deduc
tions for commissions must be made from the de
posits.
SPECIAL ADVANTAGES OF THIS LOAN.
IT IS A NATIONAL SAVINGS BANK, offering a higher rate
of interest that? any other, and the best security. Auy
savings batik-which pays its depositors in U. 8. notes,
considers that it is paying in the best circulating me
dium in the country, and it cannot pay in anything
better, for its own assets are either in government
securities or in notes or bonds payable in government
paper.
It is equally convenient as a temporary or jiertna
nent investment. The notes can always be sold for
within a fraction of their face and accumulated inter
est, and are the best security with banks as collaterals
for discounts.
Convertible into a 6 per rent. 5-20 Bond.
In addition to the very liberal interest on the notes
for three years, this privilege of conversion is now
worth about three per cent, per annum, for the cur
rent rate for 5-20 Bonds is not less than nine per cent,
premium, and before the war the premium on six per
cent. U. S. stocks was over twenty pier cent. It will
be seen that the actual profit ou this loan, at the pres
ent market rate, is not less than ten per ceut. per an
num.
lis Exemption from State or Municipal Tnx
ation.
But aside from all the advantages we have enumer
ated, a special Act of Congress exempts at-' bonds and
Treasury notes from local taxation. On the average,
this exemption is worth about two per cent, per an
num, according to the rate of taxation in various parts
of the country.
It is believed that no securities offer so great in
ducements to lenders as those issued by the govern
ment. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith
or ability of private parties, or stock conipianies, Or
separate communities, only, is pledged for payment,
while the whole property of the country is held to se
cure the discharge of all the obligations of the United
States.
While the government offers tlio most liberal terms
for its loar.s, it believes that the very strongest appeal
will be to the loyalty and patriotism of the people.
Duplicate certificates will be issued for all deposits.
The party depositing must endorse upon the origbw.l
certificate the denomination of the notes required,
and whether they are to be issued in blank or paya
! ble to order. When so endorsed it must be left with
| the officer receiving the deposit, to be forwarded to
| the Treasury Department.
SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL BE RECEIVED by the Treasurer pf
the United States, at Washington, the several Assist
ant Treasurers and designated Depositories, and by the
J First National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa.
Second National Bank of Philadelphia. Pa.
Third National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa.
First National Bank of Altoona, Pa.
First National Bank of Carlisle, Pa.
and by ail National Banks which are depositaries of
puhlie money, and
ALL RESPECTABLE BANKS AND BANKERS
throughout the country will give further information &
