editor’s remarks, that the principal pom t »I'o
offence is, that we prcsnmed to tut'nUon the c y.
of Erie in the same day with CleTeland Keep,
vour temper, Mr. Ptenital'r, wo hare not ha f ;
done with yon yet. As to the city
we have naught against it. We too been there
often, and like the place; and rejoice in its pros ,
- perity. We should doubtless like you, too, if
we had the honor of your acquaintance. But
your furious language towards the pcop
Erie, we do not-like. It was neither just nor
decent. Suppose we should call the people of
Ohio City “idiots, or lunatics,"and beg the whole
world nfter to leave a cent in Ohio City, what
'would the PlaindcaUr say of us? We ehonld
expect a rebuke, nod deserve it.
;■ We knew exactly what we were writing about
when we wrote tho article that givee offence.
‘And tho abusive language of th =
Dmocrat, a few days ago, shows that what .
Plaint says of Erie, some Cleveland editors,,
and Ohio railroad directors, would say of Penn
sylvania generally. Now wo would not be very :j
alarmed at such hostile demonstrations ;
but we see neither “Justice nor decency in at
tempting to foster hostile feelings between the,
people of two State! whose interests arose,
■blended; whose people are so mutually frxeodly,
and such near neighbors. Wo *re satisfied,
however, that the people of Ohio will be very
little inanenced by snob altempte to arouse en
mity and hostility, where no cause exists.
CONGRESSIONAL AFFAIRS.
Mr. Gwiu same days since introduced m ft.
Senate a bill to protide for the establishment of
a lino of steamers from San Francisco to
Shanghai, China, tia the Sandwich Islands.
' A hill has passed the Senate providing that
the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury shall be
appointed by the President, by and with the ad-
Tice and consent or the Sonato. This is proba
bly aimed at the present Assistant Treasurer.
Three' different resolutions hate been intro- ;
duced in tho House in favor of the construction
of' a Pacific railroad by tho government across
tho territories, and each and all have been
« tailed” by sach decided majorities as show be
yond a doubt that the present Congress will
give no onoonragomont to the undertaking as a
government work.
A bill to establish an Agricultural Bureau was
introduced in the Houbo and referred to tho
Committee on Agriculture, of which Mr Daw

• THE WHEELING BRIDGE CASE,
The Qaiette thinks thero is something wrong
about the Wheeling bridge case .in the Supreme
Court at Washington. The litdttgacer *tales
that the case was called, and no counsel .or the
complainants appearing, -the case was dismissed.
We presume the counsel in the case can give the
reason for this result, if this information is cor
rect If it is so. tbo costs must bo provided for
by tho next Legislature.

Wo would invito attention to tho communica
tion of Mr. Woo», published in our paper of to
day, ini relation tothoEenton process of manu
facturing iron direct from the ore. The nails
which ho sends ub wo can't “ publishhat we
| oau safely say that “ there is nothing tho mat
ter with them” that wo can see. They arc
l, vory good.” . .. ..
If the Benton process can accomplish all it
promises, it will certainly prove a great.public
benefit. It mnst reduce tho price of manufac
tured iron; enable persons with limited means
to on-rage in its manufacture; and, it is said, it
will produce better iron than by tho old process.
Wo, howover, are not judges of the matter, and
of course venture no opinion. The parties who
have engaged in it in this county ore certainly
not men easily deceived in such, matters.

December 19,1853. J
Messrs. Editors Haring noticed in your pa
per of the 17th inst . a communication from a
Wheeling correspondent, whom yon endorse ns
a theoretical and practical- iron manufacturer;
and thinking it rather personal, I consider it my
privilege to notice it.
Your friend pronounces the Ronton process for
manufacturing wrought iron, direct from tho ore,
a patent humbug, got up to speculate on the un-
W Tlo assorts, « you do not sec any largo mils
turning out this cheap and good iron, but a fur
nace built in so t ne out of the way corner, to run
a little occasionally toosell rights by, and that
the iron was rotten," &c. In answer to which
I would beg leave to inform your friend, hat in
l lie city of Newark, N. X, within eight miles by
Railroad of tho city, of New York, is one of these
out of the way corners, at which place two of
these patent humbng furnaocs ore in operation,
and have been constantly for tho part year.
Some of the iron made there I havo rolled into
thin aheotß, and produced an article that will
e l in any market, for at least fifty per cen
more money than any sheet iron ever produced
in the greni city or Wheeling. The next out of
tho way pUco, whero I saw an experimental fur
nace on the Renton plan, was m the city of Cin
cfnnati where iron was produced, the quality of
whkh wlv fully tested by some of the Urgr-J
logman,: far turers of that city, and pronounced
by them fully equal to the best quality of pud
died or boiled iron. T ~ .
The next out of the way corner that I thin*
necessary to notice, is my , own works at. this
place. Romo four months Bincc, when ulb
c'nnati, I purchased of the inventor he right to
build two furnaces, one of which
operation tho most of that timo,,but owing to
the low stage of .water hnvo been nnable to pro
ven outlie,cut supply of oar.
In the presence of some of our faryrit 1
bureh manufacturers, (whom 1 think as fol y
competent to ]n<iga of ‘ be ull ,ty J"? wheemp
hi 11 tv of the process, as your learned w heeling
friend 1 I have rnado from onr common Western
Pennsylvania ores, blooms— fully as fast and
equal in quality ns those made by the boilmS
or puddling process, from pig mctsl. It is truo
t can not claim that McKeesport is as public a
etnaic' as Newark, or Cincinnati-, tat .• mow on
an equality with Wheeling; and not so much ou
Tf tho way but that it wns found by a torgr

This affair -which has resulted in the death of
twonersons and mnch excitement in Ac vicinity
Of the scene and elsewhere, Thurs
day last, between two ana three o bjockyu the
afternoon, at the great excavation and embank
meet at the south oiul of t>e r th*3 lUv
nois Central Railroad across the lllmoismer, at
Lasalle.' At this point there is an embankment
of over CO feot.jmd' an excavation, about one
mile from tho bridge, of 70 and 80 feet. Here
were collected four hundred laborers employed
by Messrs. Storey, Talmadge & ConkliD, con-,
tractors for the heavy work near the bridge.
Among these workmen there have been various
disturbances since the commencement-of- tho
work, and the ring leaders of tho late not were
tho same who murdered Thorn, last summer, and
WC rt° the difficulty on Thursday
•row principally out Of an agreement made a
short time since between alt the contractors to,
pay $1 instead of $1,25 per day.. The land aof
Storey & Co., were notified that they might e
celve $1 and continue upon tho work, or receive
I $1,26 for what time they had worked and leoyo
Hie grounds. AccoruinglyvJlr. Storey and his
I olerks commenced paying olf at the
I office upon the bluffs near tho works. The room.
| was arranged so.tbat none of tho t, , !11,d3 c °^ d
enter and the settlements were made at a win
-1 dew prepared for that purpose After proceed
ing a short time on error was discovered m the
account, when Mr. Story cpenedtbodooroud
informed the melt oftho error and told them that
" master would commence ««»
in an hour or two, or somctbiog. vo that Utect,
when one who kept-a boarding houso fordhe
hands crowded into the room, swearing that he
would have the pay if it was there, at the same
time etrikib* Mr. Storey in the faco and endea

two or three times, severely wounding one, wli

of Chicago, 1 y o and child:* While he
was 6 gone 6 were forced from the
room and the door rafastened, when ho crowd
commenced with axes, picks, and to
Xm.it itnwn the door One succeeded in enter-,
inc When Storey asked his olerks whether it was
best to shoot They said " no, we had better be
quiet ” Mrf Storey r.ot knowing that Maynard
had gone to take care of Mrs. Storey and ehfhl
went liy tho hack wny to the house. iindl ®P
his wif<fgone, ho started for the etablo to obtain
a horse on which to leave tho place. The men
seeing 6 him. rushed toward the stable shouting
‘h kiU ls i brt,’taUy k^ old murdered
and tiemlish yell, some shouting “now were
“coLMuvand, who lmd been threatened, offer
saving Mrs. Storey and child, hastened across
the river to Lasalle, spread-the alarm, and tele
graphed to Ottawa, where the yourt was in ses
sion. which many of the merchants and others
of Lasalle wero attending, if hereupon the
fourt immediately adjourned, and the bhcrilt,
accompanied by Capt. I'isher's military company,
and others, started for the scene of the uiatiu-b
-nnoe and arrived by tho cars m a short time.
Before their arrival, the c.tixens of Lasalle
armed themselves, took possession of all the
river crossings, and thirty-five or forty went over
I, ,ho works, when the rioters separated, and
h i among the ohanties. The works were nop
surrounded, and the hands driven up to he
office where each one was made to pass the
coord while the foreman identified those engn
ce l in the riot, whom tho Sheriff arrested and
had examined upon the spot hy Justice Mar
grave- The number thus taken was twenly
■Xt Three others were afterwards arrested,
1 and all cnnvcvcd to the Ottawa jail. Before tho
! partv from across the river had reached the
I shanties, several of the princtpal rioters cscap.d,
1 but were pursued by the ciliacns of Lnsall-.t in
I all directions, hut up to Saturday noon no fur
-1 thcr arrests bad been maao.
1 Vr Mhert Smrev, the murdered man, was r.
' native of Massachusetts, an ohl railroad con
1 tractor and n tempomiy resident of Chicago.
1 His remains were buried at LaSalle id Saturday
j 'The name of the man who first struck Story
i was John Ryan. Tho names of those arrested
cannot bo ascertained. ... ..
I Tftcr the arrests were made, quiet was entire
| ly restored, and it is probable that no further
disturbance will occur. It was Mated however,
that the hands were determined to work no more
this month, ns they had money eoought to sup
nnrt idleness for that time.
P During the affray several incidents occurred
I which are not uninteresting. Betarc all of tho
I rioters could he taken and examined by the ma
i gffilrate. several shots had to he fired by the sur
rounding partv, more to frighten than to kit,
i yet it is probably certain that had not the mil,-
tary been pre'ert 'bo whole twenty-cmhtf, ret

took place, at one of the shanties a fellow was
found ascending a ladder; when he was ordered
down bn refused, whereupon somo one tried
what virtue there was 10 , ( h . oyD , ! ? C *
very anon began to cry, “ don t shoot, don t
shoot,” and speedily came down, evidently cx
necting“n disagrceablo shot.’
P In another shanty a stout customer was found
in a very small hole, made under tho floor, and
entered by a trap-door. The p ace was hardly
large enough to hold a man, and was nsed for a
sort of cellar. When asked what.he was doing
there, he, with remarkable simplicity and oppa

that such a thing could be done, waei/witnessed
in a Broadway omnibus a few days Since. . ,
[The day was rainy, and everybody out of doors
in bad humor, of course—particularly such as
after waiting under a dilapidated awning, or in
a dripping doorway, for half an hour, rush ou|
into the mad and run the risk of-their-litres, to
-get a ’bus, and bo told by twelve inside that its
•‘all fail." As a.general thing, persons thus
hluir d off cyplier their way back to the pavement
the best way they can, and wait for another
chance. But thcro are some who will not stand
it- and force their way into the vehicle, no matr
ter how many objeot. .
One of these won’t be refused persons paid
liberally for his boorishucss, as the story Will
show. An omnibus fiUed with its complement
of twelve, was bailed by a big man in a wet
shaggy coat, and carrying a largo carpet-bag.
The driver stopped, of course. . Who ever.heard
of a driver fancying Bis stage full.- J
“AU 'fall 1” “ do. on, driver ?” “ There sno
room here, sir!” . ' ~ _
- And a dozen other exclamations came from
the insiders; but tbe'driver sot still on Mb box,
and tbo dripping stranger pulled away at the
door, which a man was holding together by the
strap The outsider was too strong for the in
aides, ’ however, and. pulling the door open,
i'ammed in, and passed roughly alopg over boots
and gaiters, to the front of the Btage; .Here ho
deposited his carpet-bag upon the feet of triad?
Doesenger, and crowded about one-third of his
huge person upon the bit of spare space on the
opposite seat, and “faced the audience. .
it A pretty idee, to keep aman standing out in
the rain and mud, wasn’t it!” exclaimed the
anery intruder. . , , ,
The ladles looked at eaoh other and emiled,
whilo the men laughed outright. '
“ Maybe I’ve been among civilized people
somt time in my lire,” said' the
“riled” stranger, “even ef they didn t have
painted stages and paioted.people in em. _
This drew a deprecating glance from the la
dice, while the gentlemen looked bb if they
wouldn’t mind pitching the fellow out.
u IFee-f-e-e V s came from ibe carpet-bag.
“ Hello! what’s thatasked a little man
with big hair and a thin voice.
“ A pig in a carpet bag!” shouted another.

“Weo-o-o-et" , . , „ ,
“ The deuce there ain't,” from the little man.
“Pitch him out, with livepork.”
“Let 'em try it!”,roared the shaggy man.
“Who’s agoin to do it?”
11 Wce-e-e-c !-ooh-ooh-wee-e-e 1”
“ Gentlemen, we can’t stand this any longer
go oat with yoar hog, you brute!"- cried the
little man, assuming immense indignation.
“Stop the stage and let mo out!” cried one of
tho ladieß. , „
“ I tell yon I nint got no pig m thnt bag,
growled tho shaggy man—“ I’ll bet ten dollars
on it. The critter is somewhere else—in come
of tho seats maybe.”
“ Wec^e-o-e!" , .
Here the alarm of tho ladies began to bo in
tense. Several insisted on getting oat, and one |
improvised a very good feint at a faint.
“ Sit still,”- said tho little man—"l II go out
and see the driver.' Ttiis nuisance Is not to be
borne any loDger.”
Tho etago was stopped, and the little man
got cut, and di i see the driver —enough, st ony
rate, to hand up hie sixpence—and then walked
straight into Stoyvcsaut Institute, bestowing, as
he eutered the door, rather a quixxical look at
the people in the stage.
“ Who is that fellow!" growled tho shaggy
•oat. “ I’ve o mind to get out and thrash hitm

Sewako OCT AS Acsocati'Catou.— The prop

Death OF a Vetera* Pennsylvanian.— Mr.
John Book, sr., died on the 17th inst., at Shrews
bury, l’a., where he had resided aver fifty years.
Ho voted at every Presidential election since the
adoption of the Constitution or tho United States,
and was tho oldest citizen in that section of York
oonnty. !To had, at tbo time of his death, thirteen
childron, sixty-four grand children, one hundred
and sixty great-grand-children, and five great
great grand-children, twohnndred and forty-two
descendantsin nil, two hundred and six of whom
survivod him, viz: six children, fifty grand-chil
dren, one hundred and forty-five great-grand-chil
dren, and three great-great-grand-childrcn. At
tbo time of his dcoease there were five generations
living in Bhrewsbnry.
Tnt. Ai.t-Eor.n Odtbaoe of the Codas Au-
TnoiuTiEs. Some of the passengers in tho
steamship Crescent City, nt New Orleans, from
Havana, have prepared a “ manifesto ” against
the Cuban Government for overhauling her there,
and keeping her over night. It is said to bo a
fierce paper, and breathes war. A correspon
dent or tho Now York Express, who was a pas
senger on the Cresoent City, rather unceremoni
ously pricks this bubble. It is well known that
bv a regulation of tho port of Havana, no vessel
can pnss the Moro after sunset. It seems that
tho Crescent City got under weigh and attempted
to pass the Moro after theflaghad been lowered,
and was of course compelled to heave to, and go
back to tho anchorage.
ggy The Duke of Alba, who got into trouble
with young Mr. Sonle, for some disparaging re
marks upon the dress of Mrs. Soule, at a ball in
Mildred, has apologized for the offence. At
first the Duke refused to consent to give redraßS
in either way, upon tho plausible pretext that
his adversary wns in reality urging on a politi
cal quarrel. But tho story is now that public
opinion having deoiared itself unanimously
against him, aB is not astonishing in a oountry
renowed for tho chivalrous respeot whiohut has
always paid to beauty, the Duke settTed_the
matter by giving the apology demanded. — Phil.

Outrage on as American Consul.— A letter,
dated Paitn, November I, says that a party of
twenty-five men, whose leader had made himself |
offensive to the Peruvian government by publish
ing certain footsie Limanewspapers, sought the.
protection of the United States Consul, 8. J.
Oakford, Esq., at Tombez, which was granted.
Tho National Guard surrounded the house and
fired into it, killing one man, wounding twO ( oth
ers, and endangering the lives .of the consul and
his family. The refugees were forcibly earned
nwoj, and the consul threatened with arrest.
