Election,
We speak now of the manufacture of Iron ; and
would commence by saying that, since thee com
pletion of the Philadelphia and Pottsville Anil
Road, this region 'hos _become a beuer 'thte for the
mcnufieture of iron than any other in the country.
This is neither speculative theory, or wild im.
agining, but send sober truth.. and now for the
fact's.—The experience of other cenntrieS has
proven that the proximity to fuel is the first piing •
to be moldered in the location of a Furnoce, and
the consequence has been that in England and
'Wales they have' built their stacks in the imme
&ate vicinity of their k Coal pits.' The necessity jai'
this will be better understood when we_ spak of
the 'manufacture in its v:arious branches, all of
which require an increasing quantity of fuel to
work the original weight dr, ore: The experience
of our own region has c.stablished licylind a doubt
the fact tha ; (it is:Cheaper to bring the ore to the
coal thou the coal tor,the ore,
,_suPposing that they
remained at any considerable distance apart. But
however, is not the case.- We have ore in
'this..immediate vicinity, in sufficient quantities to
ifipply as many furnaces as may be erected, with-
Cut the necernt4 , of goingalsewhere for it, and we
would here note this as one of the most important
•
'advantages to be decived frorn llocation,in this
!egion, forrit holds out .t-otl.o manufacturer. great
and
,chelp facilitiei foro9ting on his operations.
A Furnace intho coal:iegion would require but a
comparatively small ouyay of capital to carry on
as operations. Since the completion of the Read
tog Rail Road, the advantages have been so in.
, rea.sed art to render a large amount of ready' cash
. tumeceasary. It givei to this region facilities ouch
is no - other location in the St4te canhops to enjoy.
- into opportunity of a safe and speedy method of
trarAortation for the manufactured iron, will
blo the operator here to avail himself at any time
of the situation.of the markettelow, and. will dn..
r eequently obviate to him the necessity of havinl
productivo capital dead on his hands i;the shape
iof pig or manufactured -metal.
Added to this; when otirreaders rellember that
'the Furnace may.Tbe built at . the Mduth of the
Kline, and that the ore and coal can both be pro
..
lamed at the foot of the Stack, drawn froni tho same
• vein; they will perceive how great the advantage
;is ovor any other district. This fact also would
yprorothat but little capital is requisite to carry on
the manufacture here, as it would be only notes=
'Mary to take the ore and coal, from the mines as
fast it was wanted or used at the furnace.
Another 'item of impo , :tance, to considered in
favour Of this reion as ,a location, is the great
`cheapness of fuel for Steam generating purposes.
The fine refuse coal, such as has passed through
the finest screen, has been used hitherto success.
for that purpose : coal can be'easilsed by
moans of a fan, and four actual experience its sub- ,
• stitution for more exiensive fuel has:, been estima
ted as cheapening the manufacture to at feast
$1 75 per ton. r
. • Even in the Simple manufacture of pig metal,
• this region possesseS increased advantages over
- any other; but When we consider the further man
. ttfacture of-the article, the superior_ facilities of a
j situation lathe coal field become too obvious to
' admit of a doubt. It requires . three tons of
coal 6: the manufacture of one ton of pig iron,
and from thence through all the different processes
nothing but fuel -and labor is wanted. It would
take four tow • of coal to convert one ton of pig
metal into bar iron, so it will be perceived that, in
dependent of the saving in mannfacturing Ilia for
mer', the advantages in favor of establishing rolling
mills here arc immense. •• • '
' • Enough in regard to the fueL-t-Now' some per:'•
sans may object that there is not a.sufficient quan
of ore here to make the establishment of furnaces
. justifiable and profitable. This, experience has
proven to be untrue, for immediately after the es
,tablishment of the Anthracite Furnace at this
place, search:was instituted -and new veins of ore
were discovered,daily, of sufficient richness,Undin
. quantities sufficient to supply any number of fur
naces. The reins discovered, vary in thickness,
some being 3 - fact and others nett 'more than six
Inches. The average richness of the ore is about
95 per cent ; some of the specimen's which were
analyzed by Professor Rodgers, the State Geolo
gist, were from 35 to - -33 per cent., In relation tab
the quantity contained in, this region it was re
marked by the celebrated founder, Benjamin Perry,
that one mine alone could supply five fumaCes for

—both of these works manufacturing anthracite

As e v idence of Geri. IrVin's private wertb, we
will relate : the follow i ng' l tinectiotes, whiCh have
coins to us frem a source ;Whose authentitity can
not be denied; He had,, iii the course of huninesi,
sold a Furnace and tract Ofland to a gentleman at
a price, which circumstances after the ire, rea•
dered ahave, its actual Value. The payments were
to have been made at certain stated - periods, and
the Purchaser found Itimic i f f unable to meet them.
The Genetal, understa:ading the emharraised situ
ation of his debtor, arid knowing that the price a
greed Upon was now' (although such wan not the
case when the sale was Made) beyond the intrin
sic v'siqe of the land, resOlved upon the following
ielicate method of telie.ying, him. • Meeting lthe
purchaser one day, he acosted him with an Offer
to buy a number of acres of weedier helonging,
to said tract, and finally Closed i the purchase at so
enormous a price that it enabled the iiiirOases to
make all the requisite payrnerits,and left hind With
'ready money in hand , for', carrying on his opera
tions. , At the same time the General had himself
a rival Furnace in the same neighborhood. :
The other, instance, was as follows: Gen. Irrin's
father was very wealthy,and before hip death bad,
maden will in which
, heleft Is large portion of his
property to the GeneraVentirely cutting 'pff a mar.
rigid daughter. The ,cause of this was 4 law suit
in which he had been engaged with her husband
some time previous, and Which had embittered the
old man so that heWaa determined not; to 'leave
his daughter one cent. After the Will;was'exe
cuted, and some tithe before the death of • the tes
tator, the General inquired of his father whether
he had yet made his Will. He answered in the
affirmative, and, upon the General's remicst to see
it, directed him where t. 4 find it. Uponlexamina
tion, the General found the paper as we have de-
scribed it, and imniediately 'turning to his 'father,-
he desired him to alter it by substituting his sis
ter in place of himself. After some hesitation the'
old gentleman told him'to arrange the whole mat
ter to suit himself, and the General - wrote out ano
ther Will in which he give himself one dollar, and
divided.the estate equally among the other heirs,
which Will his father With Considerable reluctance
finally signed.. 1

1780, affords unquestionable evidence that Mrs.
Arnold was not privy to; the treason of her hus
band: 1 • -
.1 . .
[ " Arnold heitring of the plot being detected, im
mediately fled lo the enemy. I went in pursuit
of laim i ,' but was much too late, and, could hardly I
regret the disappointment. when, on , my return, I
saw an amiable woman frantic with distress for
the less of at-husband she tenderly loved—a trail
for to his country and to his fame—a: disgrace to
his connections: ft was the most allecting scene I
ever was witness to., She for a considerable time
entirely lost herself The General (Washington)
went up to see her, and she upbraided-him with
being in a plot to murder her child. One moment
ehe rayed, *another. she incited into tears. Some
*nes she pressed her infant to her bosom, and la
mented its fate, occasioned by the imprudence of
its father, in ,a manner that would have pier fed in : .
Sensibility itself. All the sweetness of beauty- 7 ,
all the loveliness of innocence—all the tenderness
"Ora wife—and all the fondness of a mother, show
ed themselves in her appearance and conduct.
We have every reason to believe that pho was.en
eirely 'unacquainted with the plan; that the first
knowledge of it was when Arnold went to tell her
he mist banish himself from his country and ftoni
her forever. She immediately fell into a coniml
sion, and he left her 'in that condition. This
morning ehe is more composed. 'I paid her a visit
and endeavored to soothe her by every method in
my power, though you may imagine she is not
easily to be consoled, Added to her other distress
esi. she is very apprehensive the resentment of her
