ail Cettgraplj. HARRISBURG, PA. Monday Afternoon, March 11, 1861 ONE EFFECT OF THE INAUGURAL.- Business men, since the inauguration of the President and the publication of his address, feel decidedly better. There were appearances of trouble at Washing ton, which; it was feared, might lead di. reetly to serious trouble throughout the country. These no longer prevail. It was also thought that the inaugural might indicate a policy that would precipitate evened. Apprehensions upon this point have been removed. The address has given general satisfaction in financial and commercial circles. It is regarded as an indication that the President will pursue the course best calculated to promote the interests of the whole country, and that under his administration we shall have a government tat will be respected at home and abroad. The need of this change at Washington had been felt extensively; for it is a fact that the vacillating policy of Mr. Buchanan in the first stages of the outbreak did more than anything else to destroy public confidence. Next to gen eral anarchy there is no evil that business men so much deplore as an unstable and im becile government. As wisdom, patriotism and firmness are likely to mark the come of the new Administration, people feel that they will now soon be able to see the course that.theaffairs•of the.country will be likely to take, and thus they expect to be released from that state of suspense under which, for four months past, trade has been comparatively stagnant. INTERESTING TO IRON MANIIPAOTUR ERR —We find, in the London Enquirer an account of a process purely mechani cal, through which the tensile strength of a bar of common malleable iron may, without the aid of heat, be increased fifty per cent. The principle is the same as that. by which wire is stronger per square inch of section than the bar from which it was originally drawn. liars of common merchant iron are passsed cold between grooved rollers until the requisite degree of compression is attained. An instance is mentioned, in which a bar, tWo* and one-eighth inches diameter, and .fifteen feet long, was rolled down to two inches in ten minutes—with practice this time could be reduced one-half. The one-eighth of an inch is not lost—as in turning a shaft in a lathe, the bar is lengthened about one and one-half inch to the foot. The bar came out quite polished and parrallel enough for shafting, but not quite straight. It was straightened by hand by two men in half an hour, and might be done by machinery in a few minutes. According to Mr. Fairbairn, the effect of the consoli dation was to increase the strength of the bar in the ratio of ton to fifteen, in the experiments made by him. AMALGAMATION PROHIBITED IN CALI FORNIA.-A bill introduced into the low er House of the California Legislature on the 30th of January, to prevent 'the amal gamation of different races of men, pro. vides that any white person who shall hereafter be convicted of marrying, or otherwise cohabiting with a negro, mulat to, Chinese or Indian, shall be punished by fine and imprisonment, or both; and that a person who beds, boards, cohabits or intermarries with an individual of any of said races, shall be prima facia evidence that such a person is not a white citizen, and shall subject him to all constitutional disabilities imposed on persons of color. A CAPITAL REBUKE.—When Captain Ingraham returned, a few days since, from the command of the Richmond steam-sloorin the Mediterranean, a cer tain Senator from Louisiana, though born and raised in New York city, and late a member of the Naval Committee of the • Senate, aid to him substantially as fol lows : "Sir, why did you not retain your command and bring your ship into New Orleans, or some other SouthCrn port when the State seceded?" To which Captain Ingraham replied, "Sir, you are mistaken in your man, and in Southern na val officers, if you ?suppose they, or I, could forget our oaths of office, and become traitore s or be guilty of a contenpiele MO! ! When South Carolina calls for he h sons to leave the General Government, and return to the bosom of the parent State, she expects them to do so withhonors untarnished, and reputations with out the slightest spot on their escutcheons ; thieves and traitors she will never acknow ledge." Tan 'Charleston Mercury has concluded since Lincoln's inauguration that the time for South Carolina to shed the valu able blood of her own citizens in taking Fort Sumter has passed, and if the job is to be done or attempted, it devolves on President Jeff. Davis, and the troops of the Confederacy I Just so, ':,There will be 'in) trifling now, at Washington, as the traitors will guess. The Senate of the 37th Congress.

THE LAST OF THE PEMBERTON MILLS OALAMITY.—The Committee appointed to disburse the contributions of the peo ple for the relief of the sufferers from the great Lawrence accident have finally ap propriated the last dollar of the 5um— 565,824. The total number of deaths has been 88. The Committee have had under their care during their ministra tions 117 famlies and persons. For two persons incurably injured, life annuities have been purchased of $350 and $4OO each. "WHILE YET THE LAMP HOLDS OUT TO. BURN," &o.—A Washington corres pondent, after approving of Mr. 13uchan an's late course, and commending his patriotism, says In the midst of this great excitement and threatened danger here, he has said : "I shall ride beside Mr. Lincoln from the White House to the Capitol, eyen if it rains bullets. ' I shall then go to Lancaster, pass my days in retire ment, and seek to find consolation and religion in the 'church. Bitter sorrow has taught me that happiness can be found nowhere else."— Mr. Buchanan, therefore, purposes at once upon his return to his old
