The ceremonies ol the laying ol the
corner stone of this institution took place
on Wednesday last. Besides the regular
7 o'clock train an extra train of cars left
misplace at nail past J. 1 tie cars were
more than filled, they were jammed.
Shamokin was crowded with strangers and
visitors, and the hotels were doing a smash
ing business. When we arrived on the
ground Trolessor Sch mucker was delivering
an excellent address. He was followed by
David Taggart, Esq., of Northumberland,
in a brief but eloquent address, which was
well received. The concluding ceremo
nies of laying the corner stone took place
shortly after, for which ve did not remain,
finding it necessary to seek something more
substantial than mental provender, and
which tin; Hotels furnished in good style
and abundance.
Governor Bigler was not in attendance.
Judge Pollock was detained at home by

MR. MOSTCUMEIIY tfc Till! LIQUOR LAW.
When the Maine liquor law was before
the legislature, Mr. Cook, one of the tuo&t
ultra-Temperance men in the House offered
an amendment to the prohibitory liqvior
law, requiring a Justice ol the Peace, on
the oath of two citizens to issue a warrant
to the Sheriff, Marshall or Constable to
search the premises described, wherein it
is suspected spirituous liquors arc kept or
deposited for sale. The liquors seized are
to be sold, and if they cannot be sold they
are to be destroyed, if not legally kept.
This amendment was agreed to, Teas 55f
Nays 3S Mr. Montgomery voting in its
favor, as can be seen by referring to the
Daily Legislative Union, middle column of
page 11)'.), and on the same column it will
be seen he voted four times in favor of the
bill. Who is willing to have his house
searched by the Sheriff or Constable? Such
as are will no doubt vote for Montgomery.

MINERAL RESOI RCMOr THIS COCNTV
IROM AND COAL.
A true vein of thTcerbonale of iron,
at places measuring three feet, but aver
aging eighteen inch, t, has just been discov
ered on the property of the Carbon Run
Improvement Company, near Shamokin,
in this county. An examination of speci
mens, repressing the average character
of the bed, shows the ore to be exceedingly
rich, yielding about 43 per cent, of pure
iron.
The presence of an inexhaustible supply
of this ore is regarded, by practical men,
as a matter beyond doubt. The vein was
first struck by sinking a shaft 15 or 20
feet below the surface. Afterward, it
was satisfactorily proved by driving a
gangway a considerable distance from the
first development. Both experiments hav
ing been attended with like gratifying re
sults, the regularity of the vein is sufli"
ciently well established to wairant the
largest expectations. The vein is now
being worked by Henry Loncienecker,
Esq., who proposes, we understand, supply
ing his furnaces, at Shamokin, with the
ore.
We look upon this discovery as a mat
ter of great importance to the middle An
thracite Region, but more particularly so to
the fortunate estate on which the ore is
found.
An abundance ol iron ore, ol the rich
ness of the vein in question, reposing in
the same bed with Anthracite coal ol a
superior quality, which is peculiarly
adapted to generating steam and manufac
turing iron, will doubtless attract thither
establishments lor the manufacture of iron
in all its various branches. It is easily
foreseen that where the iron and coal are
found together, ns is the case on the Car
bon Run Company's estate, that Merc is the
place where iron will be manufactured-
Thus it is in England and Scotland,
countries whose production of coal and
iron stand unrivalled, and thus should it be
with us. The principal ore for the manu
facture of iron in those countries is the car
bonate of iron ol the coal measures, the
same as that we claim for the Carbon Run
Company, though not as good in quality,
yielding but 33 per cent, of iron. In Eng
land, the coal regions containing deposits
of this carbonate of iron, have been, and
art! the seats of the large iron-making es
tablishments. The operations have ac
cordingly been carried on with the great
est economy and profit, while our people
have paid, and are now paying, more
money tor the transportation of the raw
Materials to distant manufacturing points,
and then, in a manufactured statp, with the
accumulated cost attending such transpor
tation, returned to be sold in tho places
from which both the iron and coal were
transported, than the entire difference of
labor between this country and England.
With iron ore in our Anthracite regions,
such as has been discovered, there is no
reason why, il what has just been stated be
true, we should not anticipate the erection
of blast furnaces by the side of the coal
mines, and the manufacture of the higher
and finest description of iron in our midst
instead of having it wrought into various
forms and shapes where the fuel is dearest.
In the event of this state of things, we
would be placed in a position that would
enable us, at all limes, to compete still
more successfully with our traus-atlantic
friends.

led, is pronounced by Prof. Ri.akk, ol Bos-
ton, who has analysed samples of the coal,
to be unsurpassed in value by any coal of
lhe same class with which he is acquaint
ed, partiluiarly for the manufacture of iron
and for household purposes. According to
the Professor, this coal was found to be

Il is well known lint purity in the luel
is a ni05t important element ol economy in
Ihe process of iron smelting. A difference
of only 5 or 7 per cent, in lhe (juautity of
earthy matter in two coals, is considered
by Prof. Rogers, the source of serious dif
ference in the final cost which they in.

and manufacturing prosperity is formed. It
ii from their use and employment that
England has stood so high on the roll of
nations, ft if true- that both are of little
value until the hands of labor, skill and
capital, fit them to the wants of civilized
life but it is because they require so much
labor that they build up so rapidly our
flourishing cities and towns. Every com
plete iron works capable of producing
10,000 tons of bar or railroad iron per an
num, supports 6,000 people, and makes a
market for the farmers, in its neighborhood,
to the extent of 300,000. Every 100,000
tons of coal mined employs one hundred
and twenty-five families at Ihe mines alone,
to say nothing of others engaged in the
preparation of coal, and also those who are
indirectly connected with the trade.
The Carbon Run Improvement Conpa
ny's estate, on which the coal and iron we
have spoken of abound, embraces 2,000
acres the whole of which, save 250 acrest
is underlaid with coal. It is of the Ilazle
ton and Beaver Meadow range. Th
mammoth vein, the jugular, and all the
other veins of the region ; varying from
five to twenty-two feet in thickness, and
ten in number, have been proven on Ihe
land, and contain millions of tons above
water level. It is estimated Ihrt there are
at least 75 feet of solid marketable coal on
Ihe property. As before remarked, a great
portion of this estate lies on the northern
slope of the Locust mountain, where the
mountain has a perpendicular height!) ol
nearly S00 feet, the gradual slope of which
to the top is 5,695 feet, thus presenting an
incomparably fine breast of coal of easy
working. Not the least remarkable feature
of this invaluable estate, is the fact that the
veins have a run of upwards ol three miles.
It is proper to say here that the Carbon
Run Improvement Company, without the
knowledge of the existence of iron ore on
the land, was organized eighteen months
ago, with a view onty of operating in coal,
and that to conduct the business on a scale
commensurate with the growing importance
of the trade, and the capacity of their mines ' ery and the other members who did not
to supply any given quantity ol coal the oppose it, did not vote into their own pock
demand of an active market might require, ets the sum of Five thousand one hundred

The engineer, Edward Hixfrnstkin, Esq.,

the coal from thiscollieiy to Suubury for
the susquehanna maiket, and is abundanliy
prepared lo send down any amount that
mcy be needed, bul lhe scarcity of boats
at present rttards the shipments.
This operation is local, d in Carbon Run,
wet of bhamokiu about two miles. Other
openings etpially Hxlensive can be made,
with great ease, at (learhart's Run, on the
Company's land. Indeed, Col. Evans lhe
eflieienl presiding ofTleer of lhe Company,
says that the estate, wilh further develop
ment, is capable of yielding one million
tons annually. Any one acquainted wilh
(he immense capacity and productiveness
of ihe mines, will not deem Ihis out of the
way.
In addition I lhe revenue lhat will be

the Philadelphia and Suubury Road lo the

DAVID D. MONTGOMERY AND EXTRA PAY
We understand that David B. Mont
gomery denies that he voted in favor ol
increasing his own pay and raising the
salaries ol the Governor and Judges of the
Supreme Court and some of the district
Judges, although at the same time he voted
against increasing the pay of Judge Jordan
our own Judge. This increased pay
amounts to nearly seven thousand dollars,
viz , for the members of legislature $3,187
and lo the clerks and other offices $1600,
without including the increased pay of the
Judges and the Governor, amounting to
several thousand dollars more. Now if our
readers will refer to page 327 ol the Legis
lative Daily record, they will find when
the 7th section of Ihe general appropriation
bill was before the House Mr. Hiestand
moved lo amend so as to repeal the law of
181-3, which limited the pay of members
alter 100 days. This amendment was
agreed to without a single member oppo
sing it, and the section was then passed
without a single vote against it, as follows:
Section 7. Fur ihe payment of tho ex
penses nl the l.t-uinLiiiire, including ihe pay
uf tneniher!i eleik.t, oflieers nml eonlingent

relates lo ilie pay of mrmbers of the Legisla
ture, when ihe session continues over 100
days, be, and the same is hereby repealed.
Now, upon reading the above section,
will any one say that David B. Montgom-
and eighty seven dollars of the peoples
The yeas and nays were not called by any
one, and if any member sits by and lets
a bill pass, without calling the yeas and
nays, it is taken lor granted that he is in
favor of the bill. In this way many bills
are passed when not more than one or two
persons vote on it. If Mr. Montgomery
was really opposed to the bill, il was not j
only nis rignt, mil His duly to call the yeas
and nnys, and place his name on the record,
showing he was opposed to it. Had he
done Ibis, Ihe bill never could have passed.
Cut he did not wish lo prevent its passage,
.i i , ,, . .
Members, whenever they want a bill to
. .
pass, without letting the people know how
they vote, agree among themselves, not lo
call the yeas ami nays. In the s.-ssion of

themselves lo raise their wages from three

Communications.
For th Sunbury Amcflam.
Ms. Edmor :
!t the (all'd Jade whirr,
Our withers are unwrung.
In the short communication t sent you
last week, nnder Ihe caption of "Our next
Member," I was not aware that what I said,
would be so keenly fell as to call forth such an
elaborate rejoinder as nppars in the last
Gassette over the signature of "Rush." But
il is to be regretted thai all his labor should
have been devured to answerinn the three
question sugtrfaiod by himself, instead of
replying lo Ihe statements I made.
Bui if no great lieht has been sh?d by
this brilliant display of a riisfc candle, which
lexicographers define lo be "a small blinking
taper," it should be perhaps attiibuted as
much to the component msierials of the
lilL-ht, ns to Ihe complex nature of ihe subject
mailer. Thut "Hush" was never "bom in
the woods" is as evident as the Sun at noon
day. The flash and fustian of his style.
stiek out a feel at least, and betray his origin
as plainly ns if Ihe name of ihe great ad
mirer and iinilalnr of Piekwick, had been
vvri'.leu underneath. As I do not intend
lo ocrupy two columns to reply to a few que
lions I shall quote only a few rich sentences
from Rush," and add a few comments
thereon, lie says
'It is universally known throughout Noith
umbeilaud county that there exists in ISnn
bury a paily which atone time (luuii.-died
with a musiitoom exuibernnce, but which,
ns lhat iuteresliii!! plant wither under the
noon-day sun, has since flu link Into insig-
tiitieauce beneath the hot bieuth of public
condemnation "
This paragraph is certainly rich and
strong, rich in thought, expiession and imagi
nation, nllhnngh ihe u tile's ideas of the fact.
seem to be us limited us his idea of univer
sality. Tim next paragiaph we quote is as fol
lows:
Why, next w inter nn United Slntes Senator
will be chosen by the l.eislatuie of this
Suite, and where is Ihe man within the broad
limits nf Pennsylvania who is more willing
lo hold thai office Ihan Simon Cameron, the
baronial occupant nf l.orhiel Castle anil the
prnamntio President of the Middlctown
Bank.
In reply I would say where is Ihe man
who represented Pennsylvania in the United
Stale Senate, more nbly or faithfully than
Simon Cameron ? Il is Hue he was nol born
a nabob, mid inherited nothing fiom his an
cestors but a good iiamtt nn.l the wide world
to make a living in. If, from ihe humble
position of a mechanic, ho has risen by his
talents and his industry, to positions of honor
and weallh, nnd lives, ns he does, on a splen
did farm, with a plain, but a commodious
dwelling, whoso hospitable doors are never
closed, should lhat be the subject of sneering
remaiks by nabobs in wealth, and their sa.
pienl parasites. It is no doubt sometimes
annoying, that Ihe wealth of ore man cannot
be paiamntinl lo all other considerations
nnd that there are i'.iosp who cannot be in-
i nuenced by its use. 1 ak w hat man, or

j "Rush" thinks Montgomery's promise not
to run again, amounts to nnihinp, and that
'bo Forks are entitled lo ilw member as long
a lhe)' Pl,,ase to claim it. He don't know
1,0 sa'!' lhal Mr- Mo'lmery made such a
. promise, bui if he did, he thinks ii of no im

promise that Montgomery could muke.
There is a disadvantage" says Rush, in
havius lepreseiilalois who possess loo much
sinoilnrsj. They are likely to be impelled
by the loice of their exlraoidluaiy talents lo
ndvociile county snliseripiions to tail roads,
and to make other similar display of ge
nius." This I ron.-ider a most unkind cut al the
course of the editor of Ihe Suubury Gazette,

county subscription ol $mo,OU0, lo the Sus-
piehauiia Raihoad, and his sudden conver

A CARD.
II. B. Masser, Esq.
My Dear Sir : To the endorsed extract
cut from a late number of your paper, Ihe
undersigned sends the following reply.
coining out justice to himself and a sense of
duty lo ihe people could inducehim lo appear
in a newspaper over his own signature, but
silence, he takes it, to a charge of so grave a
character, which is calculated to blast his
reputation forever, would bave been fully
established :
Were Col Straub to be the candidate from
Schuylkill, then, indeed, ii might be a plan
sable preiext, lhat a second lerm was a pro
per compliment lo a faithful representative-
that in one term a member only begun lo
learn : in Ihe second term he might be more
useful, becanse more familiar. These nnd
other arguments such ns these might be urged
in favor of Col. Straub, had nol that gentleman
placed it out of his power lo be a candidate
at this lime, by his own deliberate actiun at
the former convention.
"llnd not that gentleman plaied it out of his
power to be a candidate at this lime, by his own
dclibciate action at the former convention."
This accusation, Ihe undersigned says, in
whole or in pari, is enliiely gratuitous.
He bargained wilh no man for lhal, or any
olher nomination he ever received. Such
conduct is nuwutlby a candidate of a "free
People." It is bul fit for an Arnold or a
Judas, and he challenges evidence to prove
lhat he did S3. The simple fact of his liv
ing at least twenty-five miles distant from
the place where the nomination was made at
the lime, and tho manner in which it was
effected, will, he trusts, satisfy every candid,
honest and unprejudiced man that as he hud
no hand directly in procuring lhe nomination;
he could have made no bargain or sale to
accomplish il. In this connection ho lakes
occasion lo say that ho is not now a candi
date for iiomiinition. It appears that since
his election to Ihe Congress of lhe United
States, il has been discovered for Ihe first
time in the history of this country, by the
few who claim lo ' hold in the palm af their
htmtl" the exclusive power of controlling lhe
Congressional election in the 1 till district,
that "one term" is sufficient lo qualify a
member to fulfil nil the arduous and compli
cated duties attendant upon tho station, and
that the interests of Ihe people nre much
belter subserved by changing the old member
for a new one every term. Theso men must
be wiser than the "wise men of Gotham."
"Truth rruatitnl lit earth will niiie nguiii,
The etcrnn I nir nf Gxl lire hcia;
Whilst error woumteil wrenki in pain,
Ami rliea atni.l her UMrahiprierB."
Before closing this catd, I ho undersigned
avails himself of this occasion to say that
whilst he knows that the charge above indi
cated was made and repealed by some who
know il to be fale nnd unfounded, he takes
pleasure in exonerating tho K lilor of th.i
i-Sunbnry Ameiicau" from being guilty of
nu intentional wrong in charging him with
bartering away the rights an I interests of
the people of bis district, or impugning his
motives in the least. Self defence may
require ilia undersigned to refer to this and
an other subject closely connected wilh it
at some fntniH period. If so, ha will pro
duce some documentary evidence in his pos
session
, which will "put the saddle, on
objects oil the riyht horse."

The undersigned has the honor of being
