THE IRON MOUNTAIN OF mlssouni Pew persUns who have not visited the far west are aware of the untold wealth of the mineral re gions of Missouri.. Her too untsine of iron, cities of lead, and mines of copper are supposed to be of sufficient magnitude, to supply the world far the next 5,000 years. There is a tradition con nected with the discovery of the iron mountain, religiously adhered to by the inhabitants about Potosi and Caledonia,' towns in its immediate vicinity. It is, that the first man who attempted to ride a shod horse over the mountain found hint self suddenly "brought up standing" by the mag netic influence With which the metal wee charged. He eraw in a dilemma, and, in looking about for assistance,- encountered a blacksmith, who, in at tempting to lift the animal's foot. found it firmly fixed- in what he sappesed was a rock. The son of Vulcan proceeded to unclinch the nails', and, after a severe flagellation upon the innocent brute, ennavultkin, najazitimouhl TJAtP. until recently, remained untouched, and not until during the lest year was a single furnace erected to bring it into requisition. A number of inma tes have since gone - into operation, and large quantities are now daily manufactured for Wens nortatiori. We notice that experiments have recently been made, in England, which prove the superior quality of the metal. A large quantity of the pig-iron made at the iron mountain was recently sent to 'Messrs. Rodgers & Sin, of Shef field, England: by wheel it was manufactured into steeLand then converted into articles of cutlery, - consisting of razors, pen and table knives, &e. The St. Louis Republican, alluding to the success which attended these experiments, rematks :— "The manufacturers= . end their names are a sufficient guarantee of their judgment—pronountm the iron.to be of a superior quality ; and believe that for the manufacture of steel, it will prove equal,, if not superior, to .any now used. The cutlery made from it bears the highest polish, and carries a fine edge. If upon trial it should be. found to equal the present appearances, it will prove worth more than any gold or silver mines.— [Cincinnati Signed. MANUFACTURE OF NEEDLES. Needles go through a number of operations be fore they are complete. Some commence with steel wire hardened, others - harden it afterwards. The wire is first reeled into a coil, which is cut apart in two places with shears. and then drawn a second time, after Which it is cut into lengths rne na.ltne n nelph ni.zon -bundle of them together upon bara auvfambeing afterwards sharpened upon a revolving grindstone, The pieces are now cut iri two at the middle, the, blunt ends flattened by a hammer, preparatory for the eye,which is afterward , pierced by mschln ery. They are then polished by plunging them into a bath of melted metal, and immediately' after into cold wafer; then thrown intu.a wat. bler—a'barrel rapidly resolving upon an axis not placed in Ahe centre—with emory and a putty made of the oxide of tin, by which they are burn ished. They are then taken out and geperited by a winnowing apparatus, and put up in papers for sale; the quantity not being courvedbut reg ulated by Weight. The eye was formerly pierced by Children, who beeama7so expert that with one blow era punch they would frequently pierco a hole, through which they would thread a hair from the bead, and hand it to their visitors. There are but three mehufectoiies in thilcoun try, and one of these imports them from Europe in a hail finished state, and then finishes. them, the European labor being less expensive. THE FORESTS OF OREGON. It is more especially in the forest that the grind, the picturesque, the sublime, the beautiful, form the Most singular and fantastic combinations.— From the loftiest giants of the forest down to the humblest shruba, all excite the spectator's as tonishment. The parasites form a characteristic feature of these woodlands. They cling toi the tree, climb it to a certain height, end then, letting Weir tops fall to the earth, again take root—again shoot up—path from branch to branch—from', tree ' to tree, in every direction—until tangled, twisted, and knotted in every - possible form, they festoon the whole forest with drapery, in which a groiands work of the richest verdere is diversified with; gars lands of the most varied and many-colored now era. In ascending the Columbia, we meet, from time to - time, with bays of eoraHerable extent, interspersed.with handsome little islands, which, thrown, as it were, like, grdips of flowers and ver dure, present a charming spectacle. Here the , painter should go to study his art—here would be find the loveliest scenery, the most varied and brilliant coloring. At every step the . scene be cornea more ravishing ; the perspective more noble , and majestic. In no other part of the world is nature so great a coquette an here. MAKING PAPER HANGINGS =9 The Despatch Manufacturing COMpany et Neitrark; N. J., have been fairly in operation but a few weeks, during which they have turned out some 62,000 rolls of paper hangings, and advan— terl about 000 ff yards.of oil cloth in the different 'stages toward completion—the whole being or dered b) customers' in advance. The processes are interesting: the paper in x raw state, id first sized and grounded in the fourth story, and then polished by machinery to give it the satin surface preparatory to printing with the colors, which is done below by machines capable of doing the work of sixteen men by the simple aid of one man .and a boy. Another cylindrical ,machine r rtamps pa per with four colors at once, rind rolls out complete paper almost as fast as a men can walk. A largo number of girls are employed on the first fioor stamping in the usual way. The machinery 'for making oil cloth is also much improved, and taco . pable of making strips twenty-five feet Width. The machinery of the building is driven by a' • twelve horse steam engine in the basement, where also is stored chamicala &e., for making colors. LARGE PLATE OP IRON. By. far the largest plate of iron ever mutter remedial this district, was rolled on' the sth inst. at the Commit Iron Works, Shutly Bridge. I t weighs 2503 lb., or 1 ton 2 cwt. 1 qr. 11 lb., and is 14 feet 3 inches long. The enormous m e . s of iron necessary to produce this plate had a wort imposing appesrance, when passing through the finishing mills;increasing in length and decreasing in thickness; at every passage through the rolls. When completed, it was- found to be is' Perfect specimen of sound workmanship. The ditlichl tits auending the manufacture of plates of such ' , unordinary dimensions can only be' fully un derstood by patties conversant with iron making. Our readers, however;'will he able to form some ides, when they learn that the weight Of an ordi nary or average sized plate is 2 cwt., end that this monster plate is 11 times that weight..—[ Wilmer 4. Smith's European Timm BIDING IN CARS. A gentleman lately suggested that it was much MOM 11ealtbilli to take the forward part of the car, when there is ifire in it and many titillate, as by the current created by the ref:llion or the csivall the carbonic acid is speedily conveyed to the beck end of the car. The Stientific, American thinks here is considerable in the suggeotion, as any one will perceive, who will take the trouble to pass from ace end of a bested ear to the other, that there is meciteet difference in the atmosphere. • IRON AND STEEL. '• To distinguiA iron from steel by chemical pro cess. take pure nitric acid, dilute it with so much' water tht it will only feebly un tbe blade of a common a table knife. If a ct orop po .isf the acid thus diluted be suffered to fall* upon steel, - and lowed to remain upon it for a fati minutes. and then washed off.with water, it erillleawilebirid a black'spot. -Bet-if a drop of this 'acid be suf fered to set upon iron in the same mariner, the I spot will not be black, but of a whitish grey calor. The black stain is owing to the conversion of the carbon of the steel into 'charcoal; which thus be comes predoreinint, and iron being nearly free from carbon, can produce only a - grey stain. The utility of thistest is not confined to finish ed articles mantifac‘u'red of steeLbut its application enables the workmen in iron and steel to ascertain also the quality and uniformity of texture of; un finished articles.--IScienlific American. 01 00 43 00 500 800 3 00 SEWING The Boston Traveller gives an account of a nets invention whichit, thinks is destined to make a- great change in — nne of the most !ailerons de. partmen , s of female industry.

At Harlem, near New York. there is in India Rubber manufactory where about 150 women and 60 males are - employed, and where military erluirs; meats are made in no small quantities. \ The raw rubber is first cleanly washed, and after being dried, is ground between two large cylinders, un der an immense pressure, heated by steam and so hot that the rubber, looks as though it were bur ning. While it is grinding, a preparation of tur pentine is mined with it to dissolve the rubber. The rubber comes from the roller a black mass. which is transferred to rollers of still heavier pres sure, where it is ground again under a strong heat; thence it goes lo a third roller to be heated ready to be pet upon the cloth i.thisis done by a powerful set of rollers. - The rubber thus prepa red, is put upon the rollers and distributes itself evenly at any thicknerwdesired ; the cloth is then undar tea MbW: " Zilllrer, i tgO l g i reBilllC 7 4llC, iS Forced in to and through the!eloth; no matter whethqr silk or the stoutest sailduck, it-goes through. A cpat is pht on the other aide in the same way, and no power can separate the mass after that. The cloth is then taken to the room where it is made into an infinite variety of goods, to which it' is adapted. The goods aro cut out by patterns, cud after the edges are covered by rubber cement they are folded:together and rubbeddown closely, sod soon becoine so firmly filed that any part will separate before the seams ; there is iii fact no mina, all is rubber, without a particle of other fastening. After they are all fastened, the whole article is covered with powdered sulphur, and ta ken to be cured; this is done by placing them upon an ironroad that passes into a large cyl inder, where they aro subjected to the action of steam eta high temperature, which cures them and completes an article that is affected by no temperature, and which will outwear iron itself. The goods taken out of the heater are boiled in strong potnshi iye and then lambed, which leaves them ready for sale. The sulphate of lead ariA' sulphuric gales are also used to cure or vulcanize ,the rubber. The r goods made by this machinery are elegant, and the operation of making thetrila very simple and yet complete. The invention is Yankee, and no nation can approablo us in this kind of work yet. , • POTTSVILLE. 5.9 T tr. 11.0.9 ~M OR XING. AMY Oth, 15 M The letiel• of C. M.

Dear Sire—My 'Opinions have been recently so often misconceived and misrepresented, that I deem it due to myself, if not to my friends, to make a brief exposiion of them, upon the topics to which you have called my attention. I have consented to the use of my name as a candidate for the' Presidency. I have' frankly avowed my own distrust of my fitness for that high station 1 but ,having, at the solicitation of many of my countrymen; take's' my position as a candidate, I do not feel at liberty to surrender that position until my friends manifest a wish that I should retire from it. 'I will then most gladly tto I h a ve no private purposes to accomplish, no party projects to build up, no enemies to pus,iish— nothing to serve but my country. I have been very often addressed by letter, end my opinions have been asked upon almost every question that might occur to tie Writers' as effect ing the interests of their country or their party,— I have not always responded to these inquiries for various reasons. I confess, Whilst I have great cardinal principles which will regulate my political life,' I am not sufficiently familiar with all the minute details of political legislation, to, give eolomn pledges to exert my influence, if I were ,President, to carry oat ttlia, or defeat that measure. I have. no con cealment. I hold no opinion w hich I would not readily proclaitn to my assembled country Men ; but crude impressions upon mattets'of policy, which may be right to-day and wrong to-morrow, are perbaps not the best teat of fitness for office. One'who cannot be trusted without pledgee can not bo confided in merely on account of them. I will proceed, however, now to respond to your inquiries. First.a-I reiterate what I have often said—l am a Whig, but not an ultra Whig. If elected I would not be a mere President of a party. I would endeavor to act independent of patty dom ination. I should feel(bound to- it minter the Government untrammelled by party hemes. li _ • Second— The veto po\tver. The ower given by the constitution to the Execntive to interpose his veto, is B high coniervatire power; but in my opinion should never be exercised except in cases of clear violation of the Constitution, or manifest baste and want of consideration by ,Congrres.— Indeed, I have thought that, for many years peat, the known opinions and wishes of the Executive have exercised undue and injurious influence upon the legislative department yf the Government ; end for this cause I have thought ourmertem was in danger of undergoing a great change from us true theory. The personal opinions of the indi vidual who may happen to occupy the Executive chair, ought not to control the action of Congress upon questions of domestic policy ; nor ought his objections to be interposed vrhere'questions of constitutional power have been settled by the ver. ions - departments of Government and acquiesced re i n n bT c y y h , tirh i de h e P e i —Up o no m p p l e r v t h e m e ' L i l l t o e t f oourr t he be great th hi g hways, i irll h ie wy c a ur s, rivers, lakes and harbors, the will of the people, as expressed through their iepresentatioes in Con. greet, ought to be respected and carried out by the Executive.

LEAD REGION AND LEAD TRADE OF TEE UPPER AUSSISSIPPL. „ From the Jo:series° Mining .Initrnst.] _ • - • A very thteresting and well written article on this subject uppers in tbe.last number of Hunt's Merchantel Magazine. From item glean the following facts. The existence of lead ore in `,the country of the Upper Mississippi has Icing beecitnbeln- Traces of it were pointed out to theesily:French v o oyagers 4 and traders by the In dians, who finding.that they could make it an ar ticle of tragic. began to dig for it and convert it into metal. Their mode of reducing the ore was ty throw ing it, when a small quantity bad been collected; on to-large fires, which were then permitted to burn ont, i wtten; in the ashes, or in smell holes previously dug for the purpose, the melted lead would be found in shapeless piecee. Their, were sold in a trallei. Some •of the .old 'lndian dig ging,” that..hrre been found and 'proved up," have turned out to be very :traliable. The most productive lode (Gilead, as it is celled by thpmi nem of that region) yet found, was an Indian dis covery, end is known aloha .buck lead:: It is witbiwe mile of the present city of Galena. .On ihe west side of the Missiisippi river, in the then .. Louisiana terntoiy(now Missouri,) discoveries ot lead ore were made about the same piriod as those on the east side. Attempts were made by the. governor of the colony, then subject to France, to work I ,the mines, but owing to difficulties with the Indians, and the confusion into which its of fairs loon after fell, without any considerable suc cess. They were then granted by the French king to Anthony Crozet, who attar five • yeah of toil and expenditure, withoin any corresponding return, • relinquished his patent to . the ,famous Mississippi company. It is ;opposed that this company succeeded in finding'. lane quantities of ON; but in 1720, three .years after their relin quishment, the "Mississippi bubble," as it was called,, burst, and from that tim for a tong period the mines were pretty m Abandoned. In 1788, Julien Dubuque,, - _ eralogist, who had iti ? seine years previously set 1 among the Sac and Fox Indiana on the Upper Mississippi, ?ear the aite:of the present town of Dubuque,received from the lattir a grant of a certain mine, and the pri vilege of . sesiching end working peaceably where ever he' might please.' Under -this; having ob tained possession of a tractor land meths west ern bank -, of the Mississippi, in 1796,.up0n his application. agrant - laf - seven leagues on this bank by a depth of three, was made to him by the gov ernor general of Louisiana.. He retained pos session of this - grant up to the time of his death in 1809,- working and proving his mine thereon. When under the treaty of September 2 16 t, 1832, the Indiana evacuated- that part of OA country, the beirs of Dubuque resumed his grant, end: commenced oil it large improvements.' Moll. States, however, claiming this land bY virtue of. a subsequent purchase from the Indiana,' the'next year forcibly ejected, the settlers by military 00CM'. The claimants; however, undeethe Dubuque grant, still insist upon their tide, but u no court exists haing jurisdiction to determine the . mat ter, they'; have been urging their appeal before. Congress for redress, thus• far without success. The great portion of the upper 4 Mississippi lead region, being in fact the, great lead region of 'North America, flea chiefly - in the presint territo ry of -Wisdonsin. A small part of II& however, lies in lowa, along the'bank of the Mississippi, and embracing most.of the Dubuque claim, and a part also, embracing about ten townships, in the northwest corner of Illinois. 'The whole region contains abOut eighty townships, or 2880 square miles. Its extreme length from= east. to west is 87 miler, and its greatest width, from north to south, 44 miles. Our government, after the purchase of Louisi aniOind the acquisition by treaty with the Indi ana occupying it, of the territory east of the Mis sissippi and between the Illinois and Wisconsin rivers, in the expectation of deriving great profits from the mineral lands embraced Within this newly acquired 'country, passed Mies, reserving them for sale. Authority, however, was given to the pre sident to' lease any lead mine that bed been or -might be hereaftef discoverid, for a term not ex f 8 04151fir;iyIraeo,p1 e i g, a rut were granted till -a.r, espenees at tendant upon it. the United :Aimee derived very little if any benefit from farming wit their mineral lands. In 24 years from the period .of granting the first leases, the whole amount Of rent received was, in lead, $,445,729 pounds, and in money, in lieu of lead, .$5,531 18. Estimating, he rent lead" ts 2 50 ,per hundred, and we have as its value; $139,643 22, ,Add to this the amount of money received in lieu of lead, and the total amount of receipts for rent is $145,174 40, The expenses attendant upon this leasing during the' same period, were $68,454 50, leaving a balance. in favor of the United Stales, of $76,709 90 equivalent to an annual product of $3,196 24, or the interest at 6 per cent. on $53,284. • During the latter part of the period, however, the expert [ sea of this leasing system actually exceeded the receipts by abbot three fourths of their amount. The policy adopted in regard to the mineral lends having resulted in no practical benefits to the government, and many evils and much dissatis faction :teeing grown out of it, at length,iii 1846, after repeated efforts, a law was passed, directing the president to make sale of those that-had been reserved in Illinois,. Wisconsin and lowa., In the spring of 1847; sales were, made, and the titles having now become quieted, and the interests made certain end. permarrient, there would seem no cheek upon the prosperity of this region of country.

PARIS Mons. Vattemare, now in Washington, has re ceived the following letter from his wife in Paris, which glees rattler a different picture of that city from those of the British Tory journals:— Illy Dear Husband :—Peris is very quiet, end we are calmly looking tomfid the Elections.—, Where it not for the present Financial Crisis, nothing would be perceivable; but Money isex tremrlv difficult to preemie, and it is with great difficulty you can get change for a bank note. The deficit left in the public treasury by the late Government is considerable, and, had it been suffered to remain another year under Guizet's ad ministration, France would balm been forced to repudiate her. Debt, tint, happily, God did not per mit it, and we must now hope that with time con fidence will be restored, and then all will be better then ever. The people continue to behave admir able well, and ask nothing but peace. tranquility and work. You see, my dear, that everything is , safe, and, that you have no reasons to torment yourself as you did in the time of the Revolution of July. Remember that Paris is just as you left it, with thp exception that now we are Republi cans,and therefore proud to be more entirely unit ed 'to the Americans. ANTHRACITE FURNACES. %Tile average yield of the Anthracite furnaces which use the rich ore of New Jersey, is as fol lows: Stack 10 feet bosh 93 tons per creek IT 12 • 126 " 18 " 150 11, From this it would seem that a furnace of 12 feet bosh yields in proportion to its size fifteen tons more per week than one of 10 feet bosh; 'while the furnace of 18 feet by the earns rule, yields 17 tons per week less than the 10-feet, If the quantity of fuel and attentiOn ia expensive in the same proportion as the increase of the size of the furnace, it wotild-sppear that a stack of.ebout 15 feet bosh would be thorned profitable. —[Railroad Journal. . , 0-James Sickler, arrested far robbing the mail between Towando end Easton, has' escaped from confinement in the jail at Tunkhannoilt.
