The recent rise in the prices of Iron and the prefent flattering prospects of the mar ket have already become subjects of general interest and comment with the press of this country. We have 'before 'alluded to them and cautioned our readers against the fatal, consequences that must inevitably follow this specious delusion of the English capitalists, and as surelferush those of our countrymen, who thoughtlessly embark in the trade, with. out any safer guarantee of its future prospe rity, than the present accidental inflation of the market. The Philadelphia Neirs, discussing this subject and predicting the fatal result of the present state of things, recalls the history of the trade, several years ago, as thcingh 'to re fresh the memory - ol its readers,. that they may profit by past- experienCe, and also to show that it is but natural, under the circum stances, that a favorable re-action should take .• • place in the trade. The writer says : " But a few Months ego our iron markets were overstocked with Pig Iron, and those who could dispose of theirs at $2O a ton were glad to pocket that and go their way rejoicing for being sosortun ate. Foreign competition; under the operations 9f 'the Tariff of 1846, had glutted the market with tor sign Iron at prices at which it was impossible for American manufacturers to sell theirs, and save themselves from bankruptcy. They were wear flingly compelled to blow out their furnaces, .dis charge their workmen, and surrender their proper ty to satisfy the judgments which had accumulated against thim. „Thus one furnace after another fell under the hammer of the Sheriff. imtdalmost entire counties in the western part of this State had been sold outby him, and thousands upon thou-ands of dollars of property had been. sacrificed by these forcea sales. As an • illustration of the truth of our statement, we need but to refer to a :able of statistics, which :was published about a year since by the Pittsburg Commercsal Jortrzull, showing that there were IS furnaces in Mercer County, capable of producing 24,950 tons of Pig Iron;• and furnishing employ ment for 1800 men. Of-these all were blown out, under the Operation of the Tariff of 1846, but 3, which employ about 230 men. Thus. it will he perceived, the ruinous competition of British Iron manufacturers under the present ad enlorem sys tem,closecl fifteen establishments in one countv,and threw out of employment some fifteen huridred men, whose families were dependent upon them for a livelihood. Disaster and ruin stalked over the the whole county, and distress and destitutiou were the inevitable consequences. And why this sacri fice? Simply because Robert I. Walker thought proper to fasten upon this country a Tariff which he dubbed Democratic, and had therefore to be ad- tiered to and be sustained by the-so-called Democra tic party. The British Iron Manufacturers, with millions of capital at their command, and who are never governed by the cost of productidn in belling their commodity, saw the door open 'to them to overstock our markets with their Iron, undersell our manufacturers, and crush our infant establish ments. They avail themselves of the opportunity, and the result of the experiment is before us." This is the true, legitimate result of the op erations of the Tariff of '46. and the present sudden rise in the prices of Iron must either be attributed to the design of cunning politi ciang, an accidental demand on the Continent for tharticle or the natural tendency of the 'trade/(now that the present Tariff has ac . . complished - its work, in crushing American enterprise and throwing the business almost. exclusively into the hands of English manu facturers) to revert to its original conditions. But waving this question, fur the present, touching to which of these three causes the Iron men are indebted for their present " streak of luck," one thing is certain, they do not owe it to the Tariff of '46; for his noto rious that it has heretofore utterly 'faded in all the essential elements of success predic ted for it by its famous - authdr. The price of Pig , lron is now almost as high as it was before the enactment of the present Tariff, and it may, possibly,-be still higher,--we hope it will. It is a source of gratification to every American io see auyisr title go up in the market, in whose produc. 'Lion lalhor,the' bone and sinew,' of our country enters largely. ,But what wit! be the effect? Let us answer in the pertinent and forcible language of the .Netri: "-Hundreds of inexperienced men, who cannot see the bun in the way, will rush into the business, building furnaces and rolling pulls acting upon the belief that the present condition of the market is to be permanent. It will take about two years to build. stock, and fairly start new works. :Meanwhile those now in the business, and who have hail capital enough to stem the adverse ebb, tide of the last three years, will 'reap a harvest. Al the enthof the next two years both old and new will start fairly together:British Iron finding a greater competition here than' ever, tied the supply now beinggreater than the demand, the ebb tide will -Set in again. as strong as ever, for another three yearn, creating dis aster and ruin among the new e.tab ishments, ma king, as last year, fine business for the Sheriff; and affording another practical illustration of the beau ties of the ad valorem system, ridi , ulously called Free-Trade." I Our only fear is that the p7/du re is but too truthfully drawn. We cannot see how it can be otherwise, where there is no permanent basis of security to the trade, tS build upon. -All eyes will be turned to the next Congress, for its action on this subject. The Democrats will' then have things 84 their own way, the officious Whigs, :bey so often complain of, °will no longer be in their road, and it the country suffers for want of proper legislation, it will be easy to know at whose door to lay the blame. _ AMERICAN IRON' It is a matter of national importance to all engaged in the Iron trade, both in the manu lacture and Use of the article, to know the comparative value of the English and Amer ican manufactures. The following from the American R. R. Journal—goiad authority on the subject— gives the decided preference to the American article : The testimony of, the celebrated metallurgist, Dr. Mushat, of Scotland, is decisive. He says that scotch bars do not contain more than 00 per cent. of pure metal; whereas American Iron contains 99 per cent. But we...have evidence on this score stronger than an opinion founded on chemical anal ysis. Late experiments at the Washin s gtoit Navy Yard demonstrated, that English chain cable, of a certain thickness of diameter, was ruptured by a . breaking strain of 716 pounds less than 'was requi. , red to rupture American chain cable of the- same diameter. During the experiments at the Washington NaVy Yard,the strength of a chain of French manufacture was also tried. It yielded at a breaking strain of 1081 pounds. while an American chain of the same thickness only yielded at a strain .611277 pounds. Similar results followed after over two hundred tests. With re-ar,, to Scotch and domestic iron, it is shows that the tenacity of the latter • was more than double that of the former! These are impor tant considerations, but they seeem to be gener ally overlooked by congress, or are entirely un healed. su Life is daily jeoparded on our railroads. The bursting of a-wheel, or the breaking of an axle, may entail death and rni.ery upon hundreds.. What pro. teetion have we against such casualties. while we persist in the use of foreign iron? About a year since a wheel burst upon the Reading railroad, by which, a number of coal cars were precipitated oter a itee_p embankurtnt. To 81 appearances the wheel had been sound. But at closer inspection brought oat the fact that it had been cast out of iron of only 88 per cent. purity. We do not charge that deliberate fmudi arc perpetrated by the Bra. ish iron master; butbrands which he sells at £6 811. per ton, are changed to brands that bring in the market XS per ton, and the domestic importer is the first to palm off the imposition. Congress cannot enact a law to prevent these outrages, but it can pass a law imposing heavy duties on Iron, and the consequence will be, that American iron wilt come into general use and the foreign arti cle be partially excluded by the superiority of the former. ri"Rtsrztrrom.r DECLINED.—TheSchI Whigs have .concluded, "after mature de liberation," not to leave for Salt River.— Most of the business men of the Region be long to tbe party and, if they should leave, the remainder, it is feared, would starve.— So, out of partly philanthropic motives to. ward oar ,neiglibete, we decline the voyage Out glum TUE SHCPL 3141.171.0AT103 COMPANY. We copy the followitig interesting and important article from the Philadelphia North l Anierican, in relation to the affairs, trade, /cc., of the above named Company. The Editors having every facility for becoming thoroughly acquainted with the resources and business,of the Company; the snick cannot fail to enlist a' general interest, on the part of all connected with the trade: No one of the great coal carrying companies is more exclusively Philadelphian than the &he,* kill Navigation. Its original stock and its snouts. sive mans have been contributed almost entirely by Philadelphia capitalists. It was at one time uni versally considered the safest and most aubstantiel investment that :he city afforded, and a very large amount of its original contributiowt came from those comparatively retired from :antral:coined— trustees of charitable institutions, the guardians of minors, private families, and others living on rents, and requiring secure and steady incomes. Yet, no one of these companies has experienced such wild fluctations of fortune. Believing, oNwe do, that the company hss at. length settled down upon so:nen:mg like a permanent basks,. we propose to give its affairs a careful and somewhat extended examination, with a view to the fdrmation of some definite coining/la as to its actual condition and value. • The company . during thePresentyear has under gone an organic change, of the full bearings of which the public generally seem not to be aware. Before proceeding, however, to explain the nature Wad extent es this change, we will give a brief el.- tom of its previous embarrassment. The Schuylkill Navigation Company. like near ly all similar institutions that have undertaken to le pioneer. in commercial enter Pris e, has sunk large amount of capital. What we mean foamy is thi.. Could the proprietors now begin the work anew, with Cash in hand, and with the knowledge of the. business that an experience of thirty-fire years ha. given them, they might, without doubt, erect, for six or seven millions ofidollars, a work which has. in fact, cost them more than ten mil haw. This, bolsterer, with rare exceptions, lathe history of every new business, large or small. The Schuylkill Navigation Company was incor porated Marsh 8, 1815, with a capital of only half a million. In an address of the Managers, in 1817, among other item. of productiveness in the work then under way, they mention the probability that coal might one day be carried along the Schuylkill to the amount of ten thousand tons per annum . ! So little idea had the most sagacious capitalists of that sday of the enormous .growth of the Pennsylvania coal trade, which has- already swelled to nearly live millions of tons per annum, and which is stea dily' doubling itself every five or, six rears. The works originally constructed were, of course, in accordance with the supposed wants of the trade. The whole line of navigation was completed of suffiCient capacity to pass boati of 28 to 30„tons heathen. Increase of business obliged the managers after wards to extend their plans. The canals and the slackwater pools were - deepened from time to time, the locks originally constructed were replaced by huger ones, and an eat ire double set was made, so that boats of 801ons'could pass freely through the whole tine. This was i.ubstantially the condition of the works as early as 1832. ' The single item of coal tonnage had then increased to over 200,000 tons, and the annual receipts of the Company to over $250,000. For the next ten years, from 1632 to 1842, the affairs of the institution were in the full tide of proa- - perity. The - business gradually swelled to over .500,000 tons, and receipts to tour, five, and some times more than six hundred thousand dollars:Am ple - dividends were made, loans were obtained, when needed, at 4; and 5 per cent ; and shaves, which cost originally 650, were sold as high as $1 75, and even $lBO. The construction of the Readinol.ailroad along 'the line of the Schuylkill,introduclad a new ele ment into. the freighting business of this region, es— pecially in-that which had come to be its main item—the coal trade. The railroad found itself able to carry coal at prices greatly below those formerly charged upon the canal. An active, and indeed bitterly hostile competition followed, in re gard to the merits of which, as a question of com mercial ethics, it is not our intention to speak.— One fact is now clear to all parties. The enor mous sacrifices made in the general scramble for the coal trade, were altogether gratuitous. The trade has already grown to such gigantic &men slobs. that all the great coat-tarrying companies are likely.to have quite as- much to do as their works will allow, and pretty much at their own prices. But it was difficult to realize, indeed "it would have been thought madness, to imagine, iu 1842, the extent of the coal trade in 1652. The Managers of the Schuylkill Navigation Company, in view of the dangerous rivalry with whin they were threatened, and of the constant increase and importance of the coal trade, felt it to be necessary to devise some means by which coal couldbe brought to market, through their works, at a less expense than it had heretofore been done. It was believed that it cost just about its touch bring down a boat laden with SO tons as it would to bring down one laden with 180, or even 200 tons. • A' still further and greater enlargement of the canatettierefore, was determined on in the win ter of 1845. This enlargement occupied the whole of the boating session of 1840. During its pro gress, the Compary were, of course, without re ceipts fmin - freights, suffering thereby a loss of some 5250,000. Their investments were, at the same time, increased from 53.400.000 to $6 : 300,- 000, and about 81,500,000 of this was in the shape of a dangerous floating debt. The income of 1847, at the low rate to which the competition still kept the tolls, proved to be not sufficient to pay the interest on the loans, and at the close of that year the company suspended payment. In the final settlement with its creditors which followed, the floating debt was liquidated by an issue of certificate+ of loan, at a discount of 50 per cent., and the total investment was swelled to abraft . $5.400,000. 1545, the competition between the canal com panies was kept up at the same ruinous rates, and in the tutumn of that year the Schuylkill company was again obliged not only to suspend payment on its loans, but also to effect a new settlement, and at increased sacrifices, with other, creditors besides the loan-holders. In 1649, tat rival companies begun to learn the lesion which the extraordinary growth of the coal bikhness should hare earlier taught them. Varier these new views, an arrangement was made which had for its object an equitable division of the trade, and on terms renumerative to all parties. On this basis, the Schuylkill company. during 1849 and 1850, began to rally from an apparently hopeless condition. The payment of interest on its loans was resumed, and large arrears of Interests were liquidated, and there was a reasonable prospect of being able not only to pay the current interest, but• also gradually, in the course of. a year or two, to pay oil all the arrears, without increasing still fur ther its permanent debt. .In this posture of affairs a new disaster occur red. In July, 1850, a heavy freshet took place, which injured materially the canal at points which had not been sufficiently protected. The effect of these injuries was to require an expenditure of about 880,000 at a time when the Company could ill afford to spare it, besidess interrupting the na vigation for several weektrin the very heat "of the season. The repairs were Willy completed, and the Company were in the midst of paying the quar terly interests on their loans, when the great flood of September, 1850, came. It found them in the worst possible condition—without cash, credit, or revenue ; and obliged them, in the face of all this, to make an immediate additional expenditure of not less than $275,000 in repairs, or go into final insolvency. By strenuous exertions and fresh sacrifices the work was at length repaired, and with such im provements as the latest experience both here and elsewhere suggested. But in 1851, owing chiefly to the movements of the coal compsinies located in New York, the coal trade again becarne,the subject of fierce and ruinous competition. The result, f to the Schuylkill, was renewed embariassment.With a greatly increased business, the receipts were yet not sufficient to meet their necessities. Arrears of interest had been accumulating to the, amount of nearly a million of dollars, on some of their loans, since July, 1849, and on the rest since June, 18.50. The creditors of the Company were becoming cla morous. Some brought suits, others threatened to do so. A crisis was evidently athand. The Com pany must either make a general assignment, or some new legislation must be invoked, by which its affairs might be placed 'on a better defined and more secure basis. The latter part of this alterna tive was ,adopted. The object of the legislation of April 7th, 18:4, will be apparent from the following exhibit of the condition of the Company on the lst of January: $1,760,650 00 Capital Stock, Certificates of Stock, issued for in terest, -• Loans prior to 1845, being old Mort gage Loans, Loan of 1845, - Contractor_ improvement debt, Convertible Loan, 1847, Secured Loan of 1848, Loan.of 1815 for Boats and Cars, Loan of 1850 for Boats, Debts contracted for the repairs of the damage's by ereshets of 185(1, ,222,099 72 Iniceeit due on Permanent Loans,, • including the Certificates issue for interest, '811,463 25 Interest due on Mortgage Loans, ,154,719 68 Intetest due ot. Secured Loan, 894 04 Interest due on Boat Loan, 026 23 Copan! dividends, - 591 40 Notes and Bills payable, 52,341 77 Bills payable on account of Beata; 28,797 33 Bonds payable, 128,887 32 Due to sundry Loans, - 3,043 96 The various iteins of indebtedness were payable at different limes, with varying priorities, and under various and complicated securities. The amounts ; past due were naturally those moat pressing, while at the sum time they were least secured, es being the latest incurred. By looking over the table, it will be seen at a glance that there was something leis than 52,000,000, including the early mortgage loans, perfectly immured, even in cue of the ulti mate'faildre of the Compaq, but liable to occa sional interruptions in The payment of interest. The rest of the loans and floating debt, amounting to lit tle over 64,000,000, were all on nearly arouunon basis, as far as the noisy of the cue was concern ad, and Were 'resonant well secured, provided an arrangement might he made by which, in case of any temporary casualty, the Compaq could be saved (Mal being again driven to the wall. It was suppssec_i that the Company might, in every pouf bin edautipmey,find.withottt danger of utterrup• tion, pay the interest on the angina? mortgage lams, awl on, at least, twodhirds of the remaining debt. Ir was proposed, therefore, to the common creditors Ire in all about $0,000,000 of the debt) that each ' should divide his claim two two portions. One. of then Portion* NIX 63 zo:Leni. of the whole, should be put of a New Mrtpp low, th e ein of which' wot 4 he well secured, while the remaining 35 pee cent. Would constitute a PrefteredStock, on which Wire might, or might, not, be dividends, according to the varyner contingswies of particular seszons. Such, is an outline of the plan contemplated by the Managers of the Compay in obtaining from the "the Act dAprd 7th, 1852. provisions Th e of the Act were necessarily very complex, in consequence of the complexity ot the allays of the Company to which it was to be applied: But they were suificiedly comp:then :are, and they have worked out a very predict:l vault. Under the operation of ibis law, the debts of the Company, from some twelve or fit - different classes, and falling due at as many different periods, have all been reduced to two classes, viz.: the Old Mortgage Loans, with the time extended uniformly to 1872, ands New Mort gage Loan, all bearing even date, and reimbursible in 1882. Omitting unimportant fractions, the con dittos:- of the Company, at the present ume, may be represented substantially as follows: Old Mortgage Loans, 81,800,000 New Mortgage Loans, 4,000,000 Preferred Stock, 2,500,000 Old Stock, 2,000,000 Total, - $10,300,000 Besides the above, there are special loans of a 'moderate amount, made to secure the .axistruction of cars and boats. These, however, are run! se cured by the boats and cars themselves, and are not to be considered as forming any put of, the per manent liabilities. The Company, therefore, isnow tree from all Boating debt, and has its works well equipped; and In complete repair, while its main busiort4 has assumed such a shape is to warrant a reasonable expectation of a continuance of the pre sent amicable -elation* of all the great coal carry ing interests. The question, then, for the capitalist is, can the company, after paying the interest on its debt as above adjusted, make any dividend on its stock, end when?

The only candidates for the Colonelcv as far aiwe know, are Lieut. Colonel Wetherill and Adjutant E. McDonald ; for the sec ond office, Lt. Thomas Johnson, —W. Reifsnyder. A meeting of the officers of the Companies of the Regiment, was called on Monday Evening last, to formally nominate candidates for the vacant offices. Capt. Lefever Womelsdorf was called to the chair; Frank Poll appointed Secretary, and the object of The meeting stated, when the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Resolved; That in consideration of there not be ing a full representation of Commissioned officers of Companies present, we deem it inexpedient to nominate at this time any person for the vacant office of Colonel and,Lieut Colonel.

Alf,* have voyaged the wkile length of Salt Rivarctip to the." head of sloop nevi. gallon." we ate quite desirous that our rea ,tkrs should know what a time we had, and how we are satisfied with our new " loca tion'e ''. 1 - W smiled in the grand_old steamer Con oecticut, Captain St4dy-Habits commander, with the rest of the large Whig fleet, on the evening of the second of November, on our course up the 'stream. As we entered the bay into which that famous river discharges its waters, there was a universal, expression of grief throughout the whole fleet. The first ebullition being over, we had then an opportunity, " quiet, though sad," to mark the rapid progress of our voyage, and the in teresting objects before ue. As we passed up the bay, there loomed up before us the low sandy point of Cope Harbor Improve ment; we gave its obstructions a wide berth, and sighed as we silently bade it adieu for years. The wrecks of steamers were strew ed all along its yellow sands. Cope Protec tion then showed its headland. The long break-water, erected in 1812 against the dashing waves of the broad ocean, which rolled its billows from far England upon it, had been taken down and washed away; and foolishly, on, the landward side of the point, another barrier had been built in '46, which only checked the current of the inland river. As we passed it, it was enveloped in fog, which had seided in gloomy wreathes on the sides of Mount Anierican System, that rose behind it. "Farewell," we said, " old land mark ! Thou wilt guide our fleet to victo ry no more ! . Thy whole stupendous mass is to tie carted off and deposited in the deep 1 ocean of Free Trade! He who once' stood proudly otr thy top to cheer us on to the con test, Sleeps the last long sleep of death, and his system has penshed with him. It is, marked on the tomb -stone, as the 'fruitless labor of one who would have established his country's prosperity; had factions permitted. Soon after we approached the hidden rocks of Slavery Extension. Here a great debate sprung up in the different vessels of the fleet as to which aide of the rocks ,ve should pass. The contest grew exciting, when old Captain Consideration settled the difficulty by remark ing that it made no difference when we were going up tie river. • The old rocky shore of Point Ncitional Bank next presented itself. But the regular action, of the current and tide had so fretted off the projecting rocks, that it was no loa ger dangerous. Here we passed the large Demociatic fleets, coming down the bay,with streamers and pennonb and flags flying, with ban 6:l music playing, and the passengers ffrof Nuic sho g the highest glee. What was rat strap e, in all cases' the British flag was flying above the American, and . the shouts of 4. burro for England's interests" rent the air, while the bands played "God Save the King." The New. Hampshire, an old-fashioned, slow-sailing craft, led the van, looking as if her, model was a century old.— She was the flag ship, ,and bore aloft on her mizzen a flag, with the inscription " Vit., giltia Resolutions of '98." Franklin Pierce stood at her prow, smiling as the morning sun, his eye fixed steadily on the distant view of the White House. The rest of the fleet seemed vexed at the little progress which was made under the "'9B" flag. The squadron of the West, under the command of Rear Admiral Douglas, were evidently de termined to sail faster, as soon as the bay widened. Douglas had showed his cunning by so constructing his ensign that the side which turned toward the flag ship presented the mond of "the Virginia Resolutions," while on the other was faintly written " Riv er and Harbor Improvement." He declared to his men that as soon as therelvaa. room enough to pass the Commodore, he should lead off himself, tisul down the Virginia flag, and up with the black flag of piracy, with its skull and cross bones. 5 2 281 sti 22 165 1 15 2993 5520 2642 1733 338 28 24 2 996 29 107 14 611 279 22 .rxl 3 514 79 5 1 78 769- 160 4 16 4 626 1148 325 10 104 28 , 215 59 79 204 2 243 370 20 21 119 19 11 3 We passed very rapidly up the river, for the - Tide was setting strong in that direction. lien. Scorn examined with much curiosity battrbanks of the river as we sailed on. It way the - very first tints that 1w had been on Me stream. and-everything was new to him. "I am not disheartened, ' said the old veteran, " I have troops of friends 'around me, who have fallen with me. My life has be en de voted to the Republic, and f bow to its de- cisions now. This vote cannot blot out the record of my services from my country's his tory. Posterity will do me Justice. As we neared the extremity of the stream we passed many beautiful country residences. At one of the finest, in .his large cabbage garden, stood Martin Van Buren. Ile had not yekrecovered from his grief at seeing the Democratic fleet sail by without taking him on board. " The buckwheai cake was in his mouth, The tear was in his eye." We inquired for the Prince, and found that he had' followed the fleet in a small skiff, and there were many fears entertained for hostilely. A little further up was Buchanan. Poor man ! he looked haggard. The Democratic garment with which he had covered up his principles so long, was growing Thin, and the old Federal ; lining showed through in many places. On the next turn of the river ne found Cass, wringing his hands in agony at the de sertion of his friends. With his coat and hat oft he was exclaiming amid " the noise and'confusson" of the surf around him, in the words . of the Captive Knight: ' .“ They are gone ! they have all pissed by ! They in whose wars I,had borne a part, 'flol that I lured with a brother's heart, ;They have left me here to die ! Sound again, clarion! Clarion, pour thy blast ! &land ! for the President Sid dream of hope is past" Soon after we came to the place where the whole Free Soil party were disembark ing. John P. Hale, in a very good natured frame of mind, was making preparations for a permanent residence, as he bad no idea that four years would carry him down the stream again. Many of them were seated oa the rocks, with long black poles, stirring up the mud of the stream, whilecertain inky looking fellows were calling upon them to " agitate, agitate !" Most of the Massachus etts members were sitting in their boats, ex pecting that the Democrats would charter the old steamboat Coalition and come up after 'them, next week. 'We found our new residence a convenient one, and we are, upon the whole, " as well as could e expected." The air is salubri ous and 'invigorating, if we may judge by the hungry looks of the Democrats, as they passed us. The soil is fruitful, and produces a fine crop of regrets and unavailing resolu tions, but we are determined not to cultivate despair. Soon alter our arrival, a large public meet ing was called, which assembled near Cape Turn Again. Hon. Stay-at-home Grumbler was appointed Chairman, and Job Doo-Lit tle, Esq., Secretary. Hon. Mr. Facing both ways made some lacrymose remarks, which were promptly biased down when Mr. Stick-to-the right Great-heart offered the fol lowing resolutions, which were unanimous ly passed: Resolved, (I) That after mature deliberation, we come to the conclusion that we ars rowed up Salt River. • Resolved (2) That we ate alarmed !
