MoKONOAIIELA IIoi'KB,
II 1BUUHU, AUgUSl 10U0. I
This city, which is truly callod the Iron
City, is one vast collection of manufactories,
mostly connected with the iron trade. The
favorable location of the city, bounded on
one side by the Monongahela, and on the
other by the Allegheny rivers, gives
many commercial advantages, and its fleet
of fine river steamers, from thirty to forty of
which I counted moored along the shoro of
tbe Monongahela in tbo space of thrco or
four squares, shows the extent of the com
merce of the place, to say nothing of the
immense traffic of the Pennsylvania and
other railroads, centering hero. But what
has done more to build up the workshops
ana manufactories of Pittsburg, than any
thing else, is the immense deposites of bitu
ruinous coal in the hills, on the opposite side
of the monongahela, almost within a stones
tlirow of the city. Cheap fnol is the great
motor which drives the conntlcss engines
of the numerous factories, and covers the
whole city with a dense cloud of sooty
smoke. This naturally and necessarily rcn
ders the city dark, diogy and dusky, but
not necessarily as dirty, as it really is, with
an abundance of water at hand. Besides
the thirty-three rolling mills there are nu
merous furnaces, foundries, steel works, nail
works, glass works, and in fact almost every
kind of manufacture. One avenue, along
the Allegheny, for five miles is dotted with
these manufactories, sending op immense
columns of dark and heavy smoke. In this
avenue, within the city limits, is the celebrated
Fort Pitt Foundry, in which those immense
guns, the wonder of the world, are cast and
finished.
We saw a number of tlicso enormous can'
non, some of them finished, and others in
various stages of progress varying in size
from ten to fifteen inches in the bore, in
tended to carry solid shot weighing from
200 to 600 pounds each. Most of these
were for foreign governments.

we saw the great gun recently cast for tbe
new iron clad vessel, tbo "Puritan." This
enormous piece of orduanco weighs, in the
rough, thirty-six tons, tr 72,000 pounds. It
was in a lathe, and they were tuking off
about two inches of the metal outside, re
ducing its weight perhaps six tons. Yet
such is the power of the human intellect,
and the perfection of mechanical science
that one man alone was performing and
directing this operation. Another large and
interesting establishment, in the same neigh
borhood, is Shocnberger's Nail Works. In
a building, about S00 feet long, were ninety
six machines, close side by side, cutting nails
and heading them, from three penny to twenty
penny, at the rate of from 100 to nearly 800
per minute, on each machine, according to
size. The product is about 000 kegs
daily. The bars are about 12 inches long and
brought to a red heat, and a fagot of about
twenty are placed beforo the operators.
mostly boys, who seize each piece with a
clamp fixed to a wooden handle, and with
great skill reverse tho bar at each cut so
rapidly that you can hardly keep count.
The bars are reduced to a black heat before
they are cut. But I have no time or room
to describe all where there is so much.
On Tuesday night the Itepublicaus opened
tho political campaign in tbe city Hall, a
magnificent room over 200 feet leng, which
has becu rented until after the election, and
which, on this occasion, without any pre
vious notice, was crowded. The speakers
were Hon. J. K. Moorhcad, Hon. Thomas
B. Williams, Mr. Carnigan aud Tom Mar
shall. The great speech was that of Mr
AVilliams, one of the ablest ir.cn iu Congress,
who deals only in facts and logic. Mr. Wil
liams informed us the day following that he
did not know one single Republican wh0
was a Johnson man in his district, and that
Allegheny was good for a majority of 8,000
or 10,000 for the Republican ticket
J3F"IIcistcr Clymer is by no means popu.
lur among the Democratic party leaders in
the eastern portion portion of tbe State.
Indeed, prominent Democrats of Pbiladeh
have but little respect for tbo Berks county
politician, and are not slow in thus express
ing themselves. They are too loyorto their
party to openly oppose him, and satisfy
their consciences by keeping themselves
entirely out of the political ring. It is also
true that a great many of tbe Keystone Club
of that city sccrct'y desire tbe defeat of
Clymer, and are urging uprn the Johnson
Cowan clique the necessity of forcing biui
from the field by nominating some other
candidate. Every day Geary's chances of
success grow much better, and if present
appearances are to be taken as an index for
coming events, tbe soldier candidate will be
elected by a majority even much larger than
bis warmest friends anticipate.
Delegates at Large to the Soutiierk
Vmonist Convkstiox. Cot Frank Jordan,
Chairman of the Republican Union BteU
Central Committee, has sppointed Gov.
Andrew G. Curtsn, Maj. Gen. John W. Geary,
Hon. Simon Cameron, and John W. Forney,
delegates at large to represent Pennsylvania
in the Southern Unionist Convention to as
semble at Philadelphia on tbe 3d of Septem
ber next. - .
3rFollowing the spirited example of
the Irishmen of Chicago, Mr. President Ro
berts has again frankly declared in favor of
impartial liberty in ' America as one great
moral step toward securing the sympathy of
the world in the efforts for Irish freedom.
It was too much to expert that the intelli
gent body of the sincere friends of Ireland
would refrain from condemning a national
policy which ignored them as cool y as it did
tho loyal men in tho South, or hesitate to
make common Cause with the friends of im
partial freedom every where. Irishmen from
this day forth promise to show an indepen
dence in politics which we heartily approve
and welcome.! The, leadership of the race
in this country must be given to the men of
foremost ideas and honesty, without whom
their cause cannot speak unashamed to tho
sympathy of the world. Be it said to the
honor of the Fenians their recent open stand
for impartial irecdom is their own voluntary
doing.

While Andrew Johnson is decapitating
every office-holder who will not betray his
principles, his Southern orgars'are iuciting
rebel mobs to hang Union men. Tbe Mem-
phis Atalanclte, not satisfied with tbe brutal
massacre of the freed men it provoked last
spring, advises that radicals should be tbe
victims of tho next uprising. It says :
If again wo are called upon to defend our
selves and our rights from such invasion as
the Radicals are striving to bring upon us
through the social and political equality of
tne negro, let us not torgct, in the moment
or our passion, that tbo negro is not the
chief worker in this scheme of villainy. He
is but tho tool, the dupe, the catspaw to the
wily, vicious, cunning monkey. Next time

The London Timet, of August has the
following account of the discovery of gun
powder in the Houses of Parliament the
first news of which was received by the cable
but was discredited by some of tbe city pa
pers: "At three o'clock on Monday morning a
somewhat startling discovery was made by
the police on duty at tho Houses of Parlia
ment A brown paper parcel was found,
and what is called a alow match attached to
it On examination tbe parcel was. found
to contain five pounds of fine gunpowder,
done up in nine smaller parcels. A piece of
string was tied several times round tbe par
cel and round the match, and it is supposed
that the whole was thrown over the wall
with the fuse lighted. , The string hsd been
itself used as a fuse, and was burnt to tbe
point at tbe edge of tbe parcel.
"Tbe exact spot at which the powder was
thrown is about fifteen paces from tbe Little
Abingdon side of tbe Victoria Tower. At
this spot the wall is nine feet high, and it is
supposed that the person who committed
this foolish and mischievous trick must have
stood upon tbe steps of a publio house at
tbe extreme end of tbe wall. Tbe powder.

nere Was the warrant which tbe Rebels
had sought for butchering tbe detected radi
cals. Andrew Johnson assumes to decide on
tho legality of a State Convention which
was that day to assemble, and to place the
Federal troops under the control of its dead
ly enemy, with directions to suppress it as
an inegai or uniawiui assembly. lie had
first tried to pick a quarrel with Gov. Wells,
assuming that he bad called it. and that the
whole State was not to be represented in the
Convention. . Gov. Wells replied that he had
not called it and that the whole Stato trtMto
be represented he having issued a procla
mation ordering new election in every dis
trict not fully represented at present Fail
ing in that tack, the President coolly ignores
the legally chosen Chief Magistrate of Lou
isiana, (her only State officer who was not a
Rebel,) and invests her Rebel Attorney-General
with power to wield the Military in
support of tbe Rebel programme. Gen.
Baird had telegraphed that he would not
permit the Convention to be broken up
without express orders from Washington.
Such orders were thereupon sent to Herron ;
and the crushing out of the Convention, the
butchery of one hundred Union men, the
maiming of many more, and tbe complete
subjugation of Louisiana to Rebel rule, were
the natural results.

Hit Excellency Andrew Johnton, Pretident of
the United (State:
I have the honor to make the following
reply to your dispatch of August 4
A very large number of the colored people
marched in procession on Friday mgnt, juiv
27, and were addressed from the steps of the
City Hall by Dr. Dostie, Ex-Governor Hahn
and others. The speech of Dr. Dostie was
intemperate in language and sentiments.
The speeches of tbe others, so far as I can
learn, were characterized by moderation.
I have not given you the words of Dostie's
speech, as the version published was denied,
but from what 1 have learned of tbe man 1
believe thev were intemperate.
The convention assembled at 12 m., on the
80th, the timid members absenting them
selves because the tone of the general public
was ominous of trouble. I think there were
but about twenty-six members present In
front of the Mechanics' Institute, where the
meeting was held, there were assembled
some colored men. women and children,
perhaps eighteen or twenty, and in the in
stitute a number of colored men, probably
150,
Among those outside and inside there
might havo been a pistol in the possession
ot every tenth man. About 1 r. M. a pto-
cession of say from sixty to one nunurcd
- ... i
and thirty colored men marched up Burgun
dy street and across Canal street, towards
the convention, carrying an American flag.
These men had about one pistol to every ten
men, snd canes and clubs in addition.
While crossing Canal street a row occurred
There were many spectators on the streets,
and their manner and tone towards tne pro
cession untriendlv.
A shot was fired, by whom I am not ablo
to state, but believe it to have been by a po
liceman at some colored man in tbe proces
sion. This led to other shots and a rush af
ter the procession. On arrival at tbo front
of the institute, there was some throwing
of brickbats by both sides. Tbe police, who
had been held well in hand, were vigorous
ly marched to the scene of disorder. The
procession entered tho instituto with the
flag, about six or eight remaining outside,
A row occurred between a policeman and
one of the colored men, and a shot was fired
by one of tbe parties which led to an indis
criminate fire on tho building through the
windows bv the polibcmen. This had been
going on for a short time when a white flag
was displayed from tbe windows of the In
stitutc, whereupon the firing ceased and tho
policemen rushed into the building.
From the testimony of the wounded men
and others who were insido tbe building,
the policemen opened an indiscriminate fire
upon tbe audience until they had emptied
their revolvers, when tbcy retired, and those
inside barricated the doors. Tbe doors were
broken in and the firing again commenced,
when many of the colored aud white people
either escaped through the doors or were
passed out by the policemen inside.
But as they came out tbe policemen who
formed the circle nearest the building fired
upon them, and they were again fired upon
by tbe citizens who formed tbe outer circle
Many of those wounded and taken prisoners,
and others who were prisoners and not
wounded, were fired upon by their csptors
and by citizens. The wounded were stabbed
while lying on the ground, and their heads
beaten with brickbats, in the ysrd of the
building, whither some of tbe colored men
escaped and partially secreted themselves.
lucy were nrea upon and killed or wounded
Dy policemen
Some men were killed and ' wounded
several squares from the scene. Members of
the convention were wounded by the police
men while on their bands ss prisoners, some
of them mortally. Tbe immediate cause of
this convention. The remote cause was the
bitter and antagonistic feeling which has
been growing in this community since the
advent of the present Mayor, who in tbe
organization of bis police force settled many
desperate men, and some of them known
murderers.
People of New Orleans were overawed by
want of confidence in the Mayor and the fear
ot tbe Mbuga, msny of whom be bad select
ed for his police force. I have frequently
been spoken to by prominent citizens on
this subject, snd have heard them express
fear and want of confidence in Mayor Mon
roe, ever since the intimation of the last con
vention mobement I must condemn the
course of several of tbe city papers for sup
porting by their articles, the bitter feeling of
Daa men.
As to tbe merciless manner in which the
convention was broken up, I feel obliged to
confess strong repugnance. It is useless to
attempt to disguise the hostility that exists
on tbe part ot a great many here toward
Northern men ; and this unfortunate affair
has so percipitated matters that there is now
a test of what shall be the status of Northern
men : whether they can live here without
being constant dread, or whether they can
be protected in life and property and have
justice in the courts. If this matter is per
mitted to pass over without a thorough and
determined prosecution of those engaged
in it we may iook out for frequent scenes
of the same kind.
No steps have as yet been taken by the
civil authorities to arrest citizens who were
engaged in this massacre, or policemen who
perpetrated such cruelties. The members
of the convention have been indicted by tbe
Grand Jury, and many of them arrested and
beld to bail. As to wbetber tbe civil au
thorities can mete ont ample justice to tbe
guilty parties on both sides, I must say it
is my opinion unequivocally tuat iney can
not - . i i -
Judge Able, whose course I have watched
for nearly a year, I now consider one of the
most dangerous that we have here to the
peace and quiet of the city. The leading
men of lbs convention. King. Cutler. Hahn
sad others, have beea political agitators and
re bad men. I regret to say tbst tbe course
of Uovernor Wells has been vacillating, ana
that during the Ms trouble be has shown
very little of the man.
