Xenon I We - base derived great pleas ure in reading the l , snide on Fannie,* in' your .pa per, and cannot help expressing our satisfae,tion, that the press has taken this matter in band: voting its 'Herald , voice' to the noble purpose of promulgating" useful knowledge, and the intelli gence of common interests, mein elevate a paper in the estimation of the good and intelligent. A. the introduction of cast iron rails cannot fail to ex; err, a beneficial influence on the wealth of our state, by bringing its vast Mineral resources into plafi . and therefore ought to concern thousands of Pennsylvanians, we think it a commendable step thattlie author of your article signed 'an amateur has addressed himself to the public through your valuable paper, instead of making the whole dis quisition a strictly scieotiGic matter to be carried on in the closet. Many men ,Of practical experi ence and intimate acquaintance with the nature of cast iron, will thus be enabled to give their opin ion end contribute their share•of valuable informa tion. I remember the time, when cast iron nuts. as used by Mr. William Norris in,hislocomotive Engines, were deemed unsafe, and when the Eng lish rnechantes.and their AmeriOan followers rais ed the cry twinst this prat tice, maintaining that the lives of railroad travellers were thereby endan gered. Experiments made in the very presence of English Engineers, proved to their astonishment the-fate tthat cast iron' nuts, wore not waker than wrought iron-pnes, but so strong, that in forcing a serewbolt throbgh them, the thread of the screw was torn off, whilst the spiral windings of the nut remained uninjured. The English builders of Engines made great of spinet the profuse employment of cast iron in our locomotives, and up to this day, English orders for American En- gines, enjoin the sparing use of this metal. Are we therefore to infer that our builders use it tun profusely, or that it ought not to he employed at .111 No, our people know better, and we hope will know baler Mao with regard to cast iron rit.l4 As an anecdotei giveyou, that when Mr. Wil liam Norris spoke about cast iron wheels for Loco-. motive Engines .to Mr. litincure. RabinsprOite distinguihed Engineer of the Pottsville and Platl ailvlphia railroad, one of the best located in the world; this gentleman exclaimed, 'what! cast iron wheels! I will sooner put the engine updn glass wheels.' Yet we have cast iron truck wheels; what is still more wonderful, we have cast iron driving wheels l Of cogrde this little story can but be an ;anecdote. We are perfectly aware that English rolled iron raPs evrn of a belie kind than have been common ly imported into the United States, may 'be had now at $4O per ton, shipment included. (Those coating $27 per ton at the iron works in Wales are of too inferior a kind, to deserve being men tioned here.) Paying the dot es imposed by our tariff, amounting to $25 per ton front the 3d of MarchlB43, these latter ones can be _obtained by our seaboard railroada at aboutss2 per'ton. But with the interi ir, with the far west standing actu ally in want of railroad iron, it is quite il.f erent. and there the price will vary from $7O to $9O per ton. The measure of admitting foreign rails ditty free ever since 183.1, necessary and advantageous as it was when our iron works were still in their infancy, has to the great content of 'English iron. inasters ruined in latter year. our iron wilt*, as many of the English rails, old or new, were void Jar the purpose oaf being converted info bar iron, the duly upon whirl: constwilly amorist/id to 30' per'cent. Most of our rallwaysibeing'finished vt present, it was high time to put a stop to this vac like of legal smuggling. ' We all know that rails worth $35 per toll in England, and casting us here, Thut merely on the seaboard) $5O per ton, will fetch fromsl2 to $2B per ton, or $2O on on average, when sold 'as old' iron after their thorough use on railroads. Many and most of these, however, are worth nothing,_ and find no buyers in the market at say price, the' iron being of such a bail quality. Nevertheless ea will stick- to the high medium price of $2,0 per ton. It is another fact that these rails, when they ere to be converted into new ones, they must be repuddled in most cases, and thee moiled. The expenses of this - process are about $l4 to $lB per :on, when puddling required, and from $lO t i $l5 when the simple-process of retelling them suf fices, including alms of -12 to 45 per cent, or a bout $2,00 to $3,00 per ton. ' The redder we think will be also aware that e it i i . the price of pig i t ' is'fron $24 to $32, averaging therefore $2B p ; that li tons of pig are re quired to make lon of rolled iron--the value of the material contained in 1 ton, therefore amount. ing.to $28X28-2, $42, and that the expenses of the whole process of convening the raw material into rolled iron mill, amounts to from $l4 to $lB Per ton, thee making 42X16—558, the real price per ton of rails manufactured in this country. For the cost of retelling rails after their thorough use we will-put down $l3 per ion int a medium price including the loss end create of material, and will also hold to the low price of $5O per ton, for home manufactured rails. Another fact the public is certainly conversant with, is that in order to convert pig iron into cast hags, If tons are required; the value of metal therefore 'contained in I ton of cost 'iron will amount to $28X28-4—535, and the expenses at tending it $7, which raises the cost of 1 ton of cast iron to $35X7—542 per ton. Finally it ts'a well known - fact,'that the piiceol cold east iron of the quality fetching $42 per top, is Bloat $3O, and that expense's of regaining it. Including the loss of material, will amount to • $8 per ton. Let us suppose now for thenke of establish ing a comparison, two railroads of equattength of, the 6.1010 gradients, with rails Isid open a contin.' uous bearing,worked by the dame kind of Engines that perform the same number of tripe, end do the sane amount of business. The railroad 'F, is to have &rolled rail of SD lbs. to the yard. The railroad G, on the contrary a east iron rail of 70 lbs., giving a surplus "strength of 5 lbs. per yard over its riiquisite weight of 65 lbs.,`(as pre-' witted by Tredgold, the eelebrated writer on the strength of materials) for the purpose of making' our esit- iron rill equally stiff egainsCdeflections, as the wrought iron rail of the'afoiessid weight. 'Lit us isuppose furthermore, that both railroads; after the lapse of 20 years, will require new rails; although from what we have seen with our own eyes hen,' itrEngiand and Belgium ( where the rails arerolled 7 - times) we are inelineti to think, that wrought iron railtkof the given weight will not average in their duration more than-15 years. as the' probable since of time, whin'in - amount of 6 million!' ef tone load will' hen' travelled over them in our country. - I - ''-- : • • 1 7 - ..
