was a soutod of revelry by night.”
Tho moon was shining brightly upon the pol
ished musket and gorgeous equipments of a sen
tinel in the scarlet uniform of the Buffs—tho
crack regiment of the day—as he traversed his
•brief round at:the garden gate of Greenwich st.,
behind the residence of Sir Henry Clinton, tho
: cominander-iu*chicf of the British forces in
America.
HiS stalwart. figure and high grenadier cap
made' his Bhadow appear gigantic beneath the
: rays of our full and .glorious orb—tho Western
moon. . Occasionally ho would pause-as if listen
ing to the rich music which over and anon swelled
forth from the residence of Sir Henry, and his
thoughts turned upon the youth and beauty
mingling in the dance within. Once or twioo ho
passed the hack of hia hand across his eyes,' as
if to.stay a truant tear that was stealing from its
fountain. His memory rushed to tho dayaof his
early home in “ merry England ”
“By St. George!” ho muttered, half aloud,
er I-did not think I could bo ohildish! The sound
of Ihe.tuno has put mo iu tniud of homo and old
Devonshire. ” -
Saying this, ho broke nut into the military
song of General Wolfe, whmh, ns tradition goes,
he sung while pacing up the Bt. Lawrence, the
night before ho fell on the plains of Abraham ♦
“Whv. Kildiur?, why,

Hi!, voice, naturally sweet, sounded perfectly
. . melodious, as, unconsciously, ho forgot his du
ties ns a sentinel, and gave to the song the foil
compass of his manly tones. Atalittlcdistancc,
oonoealed from tho sentinel by the shrobbery,
wns on ofiicer, upon whose arm leaned a beauti
ful girl—absentees from tho ballroom-
As the after fate of thiß brave officer forms a
memorable -pago in onr country’s history, my
readers, may perhaps like a.description of liis
person. He was rather under the middle height, i
of a handsome, .well-made figure, and erect mili
tary carriage. His face was oTal, and tho fea
lures decidedly handsomo. The main expression
of his countenance displayed frankness and sin
cerity. Ilisngeseemed about thirty. Ilisscar
. let coat. was faced with buff, and buff breeches,
. with "white silk Btockingß, adorned the lower part
of his person. Snch was the ball room costumo
of nn officer of that period.
. “Youscorn melancholy to-night, Major An
dre,” said his fair companion. "On such a night
- as thiß you should be otherwiso ”
“ And in sncli company, you shnnld havo ad
ded, Miss Beckman. Pardon me for this appa
rent quietness. The thought that this may be
the last night, that I shall ever spend in New
-York, is enough to make ono feel melancholy,
is it not, fair lady?”
“ Leave New Vork, Major Andrei” said the
young lady, with some surprise. Are you going i
■ south with Lord Cornwallis?”
“ A soldier. Miss Beckman, must inform no
eno of his destination, nnd particularly one like
yourself, with a touch of the robe! fooling to
wards your countrymen. This much I will an
ewer—l am going south.”
. v “Some new plan of Sir Henry’s, I'll bo bound ”
said the.laughing girl. “I do love Washington,
and that is tho truth. My father, it is certain,
remains firm m his allegiance to King George ;
but X. I go witli our republican George—the sol
dier from Virginia.”
“Ic innot say that I think less of you for such
feeling. Miss Beckman," paid Andre ; it is natu
ral we should love our country- Washington is
a bravo soldier, and from all i hear, a good man
Be that as it tnay, however, ho has no right to
take up arum against his lawful king, and when
he is taken, ns he must be, he will end his davs
on a gibbet.”
“ I’ll wager yon this rose,” said tho merry
hearted girl, in a laughing tone, taking one from
hor hair, “ against (ha first new novel you. re
ceive by the London packet, that you will suffer
such punishment first—and that, yon know is
impossible. Major; for my countrymen treat the
king’s officers with the highest respect when
prisoners. Spies only'aro King, nnd neither
Washington nor yourself are likely to undertake
that profession.”
It seemed ns if a spasm passed through tho
framo of tbo officer, for be trembled for an in
Btant liko a loaf, an incident which was long af
ter remembered l.v his fair companion when
mentioning his melancholy fate "
“kou are ill, Major. Let ns go in ”
“No, no,” said he, faintly: “it was but a
• momentary nervous affection, and has now
passed.” ' '
; “There are at times. Miss Beckman, presen
timents of evil in the human mind, that come
without real cause, anil trouble ns wo know not
Why. I cannot say but that my physical health
is ns good as ever it was. The night is beauti
ful, and the scene within Sir Henry’s mansion
enchanting, but still there is a heaviness nbout
my spirits that I cannot shake off. I see a dan
ger before mo, yet know not where to guard
against, or bow to meet. Though shodowy,
it appears palpable and distinct. Ah t that
song.”
At this moment the stiver tones of the sent!
pel’s voice rang sweetly upon the oar with tho
words of the bong wo have mentioned Whilst
. Ming engaged, the Major and his fair companion
suddenly appeared before him. In an instan
bis voice was bushed, nnd bis musket brough'
suddenly to “present arms.” os he stood mo
lionless in trne military position, before his su
perior.

Ebis. asi> PorutAß. Retbidution.—Wo sug
gcatoj tho other day that travelers through Erie
should lay in a stock of provisions brfort starting,
and so savo the expense of a meal at Erie. We
are glad to learn tho hint is being generally act
ed on. T '
l Tho conductor informs us that yesterday (the
14th) out of five cars full of passengers only four
persons took dinner at Erie. All tho others had
brought eatables along with them, and quenched
their appetites till their arrival at Dunkirk,
whero a capital dinner teas provided.
W e hope this excellent plan will be universally'
practised. Again we say—don’t leave a cent in
Erie — l'lain dealer.
We go for free trade in railroads, until we find
that Ohio and New York would take advantage
of such liberal polioy to break down a Pennsyl
vania city, in order to build up a Now York
village.
Tbo above extract from Iho Cleveland Plain*
dealer, shows plainly enough, that Ohio and New
York interests have evidently combined to de
stroy Erie, for the benefit of Cleveland, Dunkirk
nnd Buffalo.
Wc now 6ay to the members of tbe next Penn
sylvania Legislature, that they have yet some
thing to do in this motter. If the Lake Shoro
road needs any farther legislation, as it assured
ly doeß, let them bavo it, with a view meantime,
to Pennsylvania interests. Gladly will we con
tinue to ndvoento froo trado in railroads; but
when Ohio and New York editors and railroad
proprietors descend to the meanneßs of urging
all travelers to eaTry a lunch in their pockets to
eat at Erie, in Pennsylvania, and then tnko din
ner at Dunkirk, in New York, wo think liberali
ty should bn carefully considered beforo it is
freely accorded.
“ Don't leave a eer.t in Erie ; ” qoath tho Plain
dealer, of loth insL Aye, leave all y o qr pen
n.cs, Mr. Tublic, in Cleveland or Dunkirk Dnn
k.rk, a ullage of a thousand or bo inhabitants;
While Erie is an incorporated city, of eome six or
Bevcn thousand inhabitants. “ Don't leave a een<
in Erie , the Erians are idiots "
Such is the language of the Phindraltr An*
from the above extract, we loam that this np
pr=.il to the public his been pretty successful
But the name appeal by numerous agents and
editors is applied against our whole State
11 Don’t loaro n cent in Pennsylvania; givo ai

Pennsylvania Central road: patronize tho Lake
Shore road, owned by Ohio and New York. Don’t
B 1 to Pittsburgh nnd Philadelphia: go to Cleve
land and Now York. Toko a Innch along to eat
at Eric; and buy a dinner at Dunkirk, in tho
State of New York.”
Such is the policy openly nnnounoed by our
New York and Ohio neighbors. Well, tbo old
Keystone State Imsnlwoys been nblo to take care
of herself heretofore, and will yet. Our Central

Tlic Journal and Uie Smote Comnmcr.
Tbo City Councils haro made the first move
towards having the SmokeConsomer tested pub
licly on tbo Water Works, aDd wo havo little
doubt now that the matter will be fairly tried
That is oil we want iu regard to it. From infor-
•nation received from tho inventor and hie ngem
and from tbo perfect confidence they express in
regard to tho result, we cannot bnt entertain
strong hopes that the much desired remedy for
tbo smoke nuisance is found. Wbat degree of
saving in fuel it will accomplish we do not know,
bat can wait patiently till that matter is settled
by experiment.
The course of the. Journal on this subject ig q
little peculiar. It refused to gay a word on tho
subject until Friday morning, when, in a com
munication in an obsenro corner, an attempt at
ridicule was manifested, in a Tory small nnd
harmless way. But after the Councils had actu
ally moved in the matter, the editor of tho Jour
nal felt bound to say something; and ho ridicules i
the idea that any saving of fuel can bo obtained I
by tho uso of the apparatus. So ho ridioulod
tho idea that thoro would bo war in Europe, and
offered to ,bet fifty dollars to fivo cents there
would not bo. But ridicule and dignified con
servatism will yield to on notual tost, nnd that
we shall probably have-
kopo it Trill provo a self-paying Improve*
mont, IF no there will be no grumbling aboui
iU application. Bat, even should it odd o mode
rate item to the “ general construction account,’ 1
so it abatoC'.tho naisanoe, tho public benefit will
ten-foM over balance tho cost
That some increase of heat can bo obtained by
using tho apparatus seems reasonable, Tho
smoko and soot are oombnstibio portions of the
coal. If they can bo all consumed with tho coal
some increase of heat must be obtained; and it
is no trilling item either.
Wo would coll attention to a communi
cation of Professor Mapes, published In onr pa
per of to-day, in rolation to the Ronton process
of molcing iron direct from the ore.
We nre requested to Btate that the specimen
of -nails sent us by onr Wheeling correspondent
were made by the Dickerson process, before the
! Kenton improvement was applied to tho furnace.
Our Wheeling correspondent’s communication
wos not particularly examined, or we should
luiro delayed it till arguments more oxplioit
; were furnished, instead of oharges of humbug, i
I The Renton prooess of making iron will bo a
| very Important improvement, if successful; and
wo certainly will notdenounoo os humbug what
y?e don’t know to be BUch. We hope the Benton
process of manufacturing iron will prove itself
a sure thing, well aware that it will bo a most
valuable improvement when generally under
stood, : approved and adopted.

to tho wagon of Mr. Jacob Kutz, of North Mid.
dletoa township, wbioh had boon left by tho
drivor standing in front of Hitnor’s Btore, became
frightened, and every efTort to restrain them
proved abortive. They rushed towards tho loco
motive, andthe two front ones, a maro and horse
were so horribly mutilated that they hnd to bo
instantly killed. They were valued by their
owner at $3OO Thi ß is ono of the beauties of
permiting railroads to pass through tho heart of
a oity or town, as tho lives not only of Valuablo

of oitizens, particularly children, are constantly
endangered. Wo hope to see tho day when rail

Mil. CURTIS’ EECTUOE.
The lecture of George W. Curtis, Esq;, at Ma
sonic Hall, on Saturday evening, was well at
tended-better, by far, than tho disagreeable
weather led many to suppose it would be Tho
subject of tho lecture was “ The Age of Steam; ”
and, though tho wonderful achievements of tho
material article were beautifully and effectively
adverted to by the lecturer, tho principal part
of his discourse was dpvoted to describing the
influenco exerted upon society, literature and
politics, by that spiritual stealn (hetter known
as go-aheadativeness or Young Americanism)
which is so distinguishing a characteristic of tho
modern 1 ankeo. Tho progress of our country
is no now subject, yet Mr. Curtis treated it with
originality and freshness. Ilia lecture was cbor
octeriied by wit and sarcasm, where such effec
tive weapons were required ; but there was per;
coptiblo throughout it such a spirit of good fellow
ship and Sincerity, that not one of the audience,
we venture to soy, liked tho speaker a whit tbo
leas for his freedom in discoursing of the errors
as well ns tbo glories of this age or steam
We rfg et that Mr. Curtis cannot deliver more
than ono lecture in tho city at present: hiß en
gagements are such that he cannot. His promtso
is given, however, to return to Pittsburgh in tho
spring., .
SANTA ANNA.
This worthy has been declared Dictator of
Mexico for leu years, hnd duly installed with
imposing ceremonies
Ho presume it is hut a step towards his nlii
mato design of being installed Emperor for life,
a la Louis Napoleon. If he is not tho nephew
of his uncle, ho has other antecedents, and a
fame, achieved by his own energy and talents,
that will probably enable him to accomplish h'S
design, mid bo Emperor in namo, but not in pow
er. Tho people of Mexico are a chaotic mare,
unconnected by political ties or social Influence-,
and so thoroughly disorganized that an onerge*-
io government ennnot bo sustained and enforced.
Wo suppose Santa Anna's first effort will bo to
drive out “governor ” Walker and his marauders
from Lower California

almost inorcdjblo how rapidly somo of them have

PROM PROP. j. J. M APRS
_ : Newark, N. J , Fob. 19, 1852.
James W. QetMUY.Esq Dear Sir ln pur
suance of your,reqnest-I visited the works of
of Mr. James Kenton;, fop the making of
wrought iron direct from the ore, and I take
pleasure in endorsing'the views you have ex
pressed os:td its probable;utility,
i.drou'requestod me, in ray reply, to boas di
daotio'aa;possiblei,and- Iyefiail therefore avail
myself of this permission. ’
Iron, as it exists in ores,-is combined with
oxygen in the form of oxide of iron, and the
whole prooess consisted in the treatment of this
ore, in varions kinds,of furnaces, by heat, so as
to dispel the oxygen and form: the molten mass
: composed .of oarbpn and,, iron, , and-known os.
east troo.; Under this mode of treatment it is
trae that the oxygen may be gotrid of, but so
high a heat is'requtred 'during the deoxydizing
prooess that it can only be maintained by the
presence of a portion of atmospheric air, and
hence the surface of the.molten mass was con
tinually:: .undergmng reoxydization, and this
nowly. formed, oxide combining with the impuri
ties of the oro, onuses much of its quantity to bo
converted into, q stag... It.also entangles: itself
with h.qnantifjr of carbon, and occasionally with
slag and other impurities, I When in its finished
form, imd delivered in pigs as cast iron.iitjwasn
combination oy.mechanical, admixture of iron
and carbon, and knowri under the ’name of pij
iron. To transform this into wrought iron it
was neoesaary to get rid of tho carbon. I This
required a separate furnace, the use of new
quantities of fuel, the wasting of new portions
of iron as oxide, a largo nmount of power, a
great expense for labor, and this second process
for rendering pig iron into wrought iron was
OftUcd puddling ; and in th3s state Mr. Kenton
found the art of iron manufacture.
The idea of so treating the oxido of iron, or
iron ores, as to deoxydizing thorn or separate
from them their oxygen in the absence of at
mospheric air, thus preventing the formation of
new oxideß, is not new. Tbo proposition has
of*en occurred, hut hog novor boen rendered
practically applicable to its manufacture, until
accomplished by the invention of Mr. Ronton.
Tho mode of operation may be thus described :
The oreisrednfced by stamping to a powder,
and after admixture -with2o per cent, of mineral
coal, it is placed.in the top of a chamber, .from
which descends tnbSs, and in which tubes this
raixtnro is suffered .to fall. Tho upper ends of
the tubes ora completely.covered with the mix
ture. Their ontsides nre surrounded with (ire,
or rother the excess heat of two furnaces after
having performed other duties whioh I shall
presently describe. The contents of the tubes
are thus heated to, such a degree os not to cause
any melting of the partieleß of ore, or combina
tion between them and the admixture of carbon.
The oxygen, however, contained in the ore is
found porfectiy to combine with the carbon in
tho form of carbonic ncid gas, which, when
formed, expands five-hundredths part of itsbulk
for each degree of heal added, and thug forces
its way. by such expansion, through the inter
stices of the enpcr-incumbent mass, and esoapes
into the ntmosnhero above. When it has bean
subjected to this treatment for a sufficient length
of time to rid it of its oxygen, bntnot at so high
a heat ns to cause nnd Coalescence between the
oarticlcs of iron nnd the carbon, it is pormitted
to descend into a fnrnaoo approximating to this
chamber. This it does in the powdered form,
bnt at a red heat, and if recived on the hearth
at a whito heat;, this heat is insufficient to
cause a melting of tho particles of iron now
freed from oxide, as in tho furnace formerly in
use. bnt entirely,sufficient to cause a gradual
welding of theso particles with each other, with
out being imbued with carbon—the heat being
insufficient to. cause combination with sllex or
other impurities which may bo present. Ail
j thc3 ?> however, from their specific difference of
gravity and moderate degree of heat, simply be
ing that required to weld tlio particles, oro
separated on this first fnrnace hearth. At a
proper time it is thrown over to heaflh Xo. one
after having (hero been separated from the
mass of useless matter with which it descended
from the tube, itis fnrtherpetrified with tho or
dinary pnddiing manipulations, and hronghtout
to bo placed under the trip hammer, to be
formed into blooms of pure wrought iron. Tho
fires whioh supply theso two furnaces, after per
forming their duty there, are found to bo entire
ly sufficient, by the jndicions application of
their waste heat, to act upon the tabes for the
oeozydhatian of the pnlrerized ore, nnd thus no
separate fire is required for this notion.
Tou will recollect that cast iron is a mechani
cal admixture of carbon and iron; Wronght
iron is the product after tho separation of the
carbon.
The process of Mr. Renton is such as to com
mence with tho oxide of iron, to free it of its
oxygen, not to combino it with the carbon, and
deliver it ns pure wronght iron.
Tho processes before his improvement con
tained material faults. The amount of heat re
quired to melt tho mass for the purpose of get
ting rid of tho oxygen, at tho same time opened
the ultimate pores of the iron, causing it to re
eeire tho carbon, and thus tho product was cast
iron.
In Mr.- Renton's process, the nbsenco of at
mosphere to the deoxydizing tubes renders high
heat unnecessary, and only bo much is required
as will weld tho particles when placed upon the
furnace .carts. Thus he avoids nil difficulties
of the older processes, saves the useless expen
diture of fuel, and produces nt oho operation the
final result, only attainable in tho ordinary way
by two distinct expenditures of fuel. labor io ■
and entirely obviates tho formation of new quan
tities .of oxido during the manipulation of the
mass.
A bar of this iron was bent in my presence
m the cold state, until tho two Cods of tho bar
Indeed the inner surface of tho bend on both
sides for tho whole length, waa brought in abso
lute contact, and stilt the Btriations nt the impor-
I tant point of bending wore scarcely changed in
I color, and had no ovidence of disintccation. It
I bent with tho toughnossof well annealed copper
and gave convincing proofs of its great euperi
ority of quality.
I saw specimens also of hoop iron which had
[ been rolled from it, having n beauty of surface
and gram resembling tho purest of Russia iron.
: _ I cannot doubt that, by the process of Mr
Kenton, a saving of at least $lO per ton may bo
safely relied upon, as compared with the other
known processes.
The peculiar claim of Mr. Ronton’s patent,
when taken in connection with the assigned pat
ents which ho holds from other inventors, is ono
of singular safety, and it is difficult to conceive
of any improvement whioh would not infringe
tho rights of Mr. Renton. ' .
, Whenever the market will guarantee a price
n>r blooms beyond WO, then tho process of Mr.
Kenton may bo used with profit at Newark, and
at a much less prico contiguous to tho mines, a
largo saving being consequent by saving of
freight on ore, lower prioes for fuel, &o.
Iron prepared by this process has peouliar ad
! , va " ( , a e ca for , being made -into steel; it cannot
but form steel of very superior quality, and from
what I saw, I cannot doubt that tho quality of
this product is superior to that usually offered
in tho market ns wrought iron. I can therefore
navo no hesitation in advising you to toko an
notreo part in any business, oonnoction arising
out of this patent. 6
I remain, sir, yours, respectively,
