Terrible Fright of the Iron Men—Conspire 1 .
Englishmen to Control- Mr. Buchanan's Cabi
net—Eight
Anzerieens in the plot—Look to
• the Senate—The Bogus Fraud—British Gold
end American Iron.
I have just been informed of one of the most
gigantic and far •reaching schemes of public
spoliation and plunder which has yet been con
ceived even by the lobby of the Thirty-fourth
. Congress. It was by the merest accident that
lam enabled to sketch its main features. The
parties to it are said to be men of Character and
position, wielding a power which will make it
self felt, for good or for evil. The discoveries
made go to implicate certain British manufac
turers, if not the 'British government, in a con
spiracy against the integrity of Mr. Buchanan's
administration, which for boldness and origin
ality, is perhaps without a parallel in the his
tory of the world.
It appears that the British iron masters, be
coming thoroughly alarmed at the recent devel
opment of the iron industry of this country,
have combined to " crush it out" by securing
the appointment of a Secretary of the Treasy
to the incoming administration who is in fa 'orl
of the immediate reduction, if not the total a o
lition, of import duties on iron . ; and with t is
view, have despatched agents to this count y,
with a plentiful supply of gold, it is said, with
the control of a contingent fund of $1,000,000,
to be exngnded in the corruption of our politi
cians. These modern Ilarpaluses are now in
our midst, and have almost or quite succeeded
in organizing a vast secret movement against
one of the most important industrial interests
of this country. 'rho American accomplices to
this gigantic plot aro said to be among the
Southern democratic leaders, and the represen
tatives of the great railroad interests of the
North, who are so clamorous for the reduction
of duties on railroad iron, and who are now be
seeching Congress to accomplish that oltject.—
Tho proper successor, I understand, of the pres
ent Secretary of the Tieasury, is already pro
vided, and the opelators but await his official
action in the premises, and the passage of the
Pacific Railroad bill, now before Congress, to
strike the decisive blow, the suddenness add vi
olence of which, it is confidently predielgd-b - 1
these foreign emissaries, will finally chge every
ftylnagat Americain leterthan'if twelve month,
and thus precipitate a financial crisis upon the
country which must shake our industrial and
commercial systons to their foundation.
This startling scheme, it will be perceived,
has not been organized without a due reference
to the elements of permanent success. It is said
to have been conceived by an Englishman who
has recently obtained much celebrity by the
holdpess, originality and success of his commer
cial projects. The free trade movement in Bel
gium, which is getting up such a tremendous
excitement in that country, is but an adjunct of
the one I have just unfolded, and is also the pro
duction- of the same brain. The American
branch of this British conspiracy against the
commercial policy or independence of surround
ing governments, has hitherto been veiled in
the most impenetrable mystery, and has not
bean imparted to any except to those deemed
absolutely essential to its success. The num
ber of Americans engaged in it is not as yet, I
um informed, a half dozen all told ; but they
are the virtual representatives of the interests
which naturally ally themselves with ale pro
posed measures, and in various ways are pre
paring the public mind for the denouement..
The anti-tariff resolutions introduced in the
Sutilliern Commercial Convention was but the I
fore-shadowing of coming events.
The Senate Post Office Committee bill, re
cently reported, is also supposed to be one of
the feelers thrown out byThe arch conspirators.
This bill empowers the Postmaster General to
enter into contracts with railroads now or here
after to be-completed, the contractors to have
the privilege to import iron free of duty. It is
not expected that this bill will pass, bat it will
accomplish its object. It conclusively shows a
combination of the railroad interests with the
free trade politicians against one of tile most
important branches of Northern iniltistry.
The facts which establish the foregoing rev
elations, shall in due -time be given to the Her
ald, and they must iin?licate high public func
tionaries, both in this country and England
TIM GREAT IRON STRAMER.—The following
are some of the main particulars of the enor
mous iron steamship now in course of construe.'
tion on the Thames. Her whole length is 681
feet ; b:eadth of beam 86 feet ; diameter of pad
dle wheel's 121 feet ; depth of hold 70 feet ; depth
of paddle wheel 58 fret ; diameter of screw 41
feet. There will be five — flinnels and seven
masts, two of the latter being square rigged.
The nominal horse power will be 2,600, but it
will work up from 6,000 to 10,000. Her mea
surement will be 23,640 tons. It is expected
that, her crew will number from 750 to 800
men, including twelve chief officers. She will
have accommodations for 20,000 persons, in
cluding -1.000 first class passengers : or, if used
as a transport, she cnn carry 15.000 troops
and 5,000 horses. She is expected to run at
the rate of sixteen miles an hour. Surely this
is ono of the wonders of mechanic power its the
nineteenth century.
fa; ov YESSEI.S.—But few people, excepting
those accustomed to the sea have any adequate
idea of the difficulties encountered by naviga
telt on reaching our coast in the Winter season.
The brig Andrew Peters, of Ellsworth, which
arrived at Now York, on Saturday, from Cien
fuegoes, was so covered with ice on the 9th
inst., that she settled by the head fifteen in
ches, requiring all hands since that time to
clear her, in doing which Capt. McFarland
estimates that ho throw overboard one hundred
lons of ice.
SALE OF NEGROES.-A sale of negroes, rang
ing in ago from 10 to 70 years, was made in
Liberty, Bedford Co., Va., on New Year's day,
for the aggregate sum of $7,037. "Tll-3 highest
price obtained was $1,225 ; tho lowest sl3o—
$763,70. This is doing pretty well,
considering the almost superannuated condi
tion of several of the negroes. At Charlottes
ville, Va., on January court day, a hundred
negroo changed hands at $lOOO to $l3OO for
men, and $BOO to $OOO for women.
NEW Cc:llNm*.Ea.—A new .counterfeit $lO
on the Harrisburg Bank, is in circulation. It
has portraits of Washington and, Rittenhouse in
the centre—canal boat on one end, and male and
female on the other—with a. train of cars at the
bottom of the note. The genuine 810 has the
e ilfato Capital in the centre, with the Goddess
of Liberty in the foreground, seated. The vig
nettes on the end are both alike—two females.
0:7-The greatest objection to smart children
is, that when they commence having whiskers,
they' leave off having brains. Boys that aro
philosophers at six years of ago, arc generally
blockhead* at twenty one. By forcing children
along, you get so much in them heads that they,
become•cracked in order to hold it.
NEW YORK SIXTT•EIGDT YEARS Aco.—Qover• 'LEHIGH VALLEY RAILROAD,
nor Page, of Virginia, in a letter from the city
of New York to his son, dated March 16, 1789,
ayB •
" This Td
phia, nor in any manner to he compi7 — erfci
for beauty and elegance.. .Philadelphia, lam
well assured, has more inhabitants than Bos
ton and New York together. The streets here
aro badly paved, very dirty and narrow, as well
as crooked, and filled up with a strange variety
of Wooden, stone, and brick buildings, and full
of hogs and mud. The college, St. Paul's
church, and the hospital aro elegaat buildings.
The Federal Hall, also, in which Congress is to
sit, is elegant. What is very remarkable hero
is that there is but one well of water which
furnishes the inhabitants with drink, so that
water is bought here by every cue that drinks
it, except the owner of this well. Four carts
are continually.going about selling it at three
gallons for a copper—that is, a penny for every
three gallons of water. The other wells and
pumps serve for washing, and nothing else. I
have not time to say more about thk:place• and
the other towns through which liiiksed, but
will by some other opportunity write you what
ever maybe worth your knowledge."
A Nom.x FELLow.—On the morning of Dec.
Ist, four little boys broke through the ice on
the lake near their school house, in Waterville,
Wis. The villagers hastened to the spot, but
the ice was so thin, that none dared venture to
their aid. At this moment, just as the boys
were sinking, a young man, eighteen years of
age, named John Adams, sprang forward, seized
a fishing spear, and 12aving.most of his clothes
on the bank plunged into the lake and saved
two of the boys. Ire then made another dash,
and saved the third. Adams was now almost
exhausted, but the mother of the fourth boy
was standing near, in horrible agony, and Ad
ams said to her, "I will save your boy or die."•
Tying a rope around his waist, lie told those
on shore to pull him in if he sank, and cried
out " Stand by the rope, I am going to him."
He then plunged in, swam out some ten rods,
breaking the ice with his hands, seized the boy
who was sinking for the third time, carried
him ashore, and restored him to his mother's ,
s.
THIP. Two NAVIES.—The tonnage of the Brit
ish Navy is not far from 650.000—that of our
own little Navy about 85,000. They mount
about 16,000 guns afloat—and wo about 1,500.
If we abolish privateering we must change our
policy, and largely increase our Navy, or be
most ingloriously defeated at sea in the event
of a naval war.
A SLtan•r rxetts,tss.—Eight years ago, Chas.
C. Van located live hundred acres south of Port
l)es Moines, not far from the city. It cost
61.25 an acre, or $625. He has recently been
offered $220 an acre, or $100,00.0 for the tract.
REASON AND COMMON SENSE
Our readers may remember we have on several tie
eil,lllllS spokes in very eulogistic terms of a prepara
tion which Dr. SI:111 F. lIANCH, Or 108 Baltimore
street, Baltimore. Md., has discovered fur the cure of
Epileptic Fits. sow, in doing so. we bare been ac
tuated by the very best motives, viz the allevintion
of human suffering. From vireo instances Iliad' have
lately come to our knowledge, we fear there is 0 cer
tain class of persons who are not disposed to try this
remedy in a common sense manner. We allude to
the fart of selecting n particular case in n town where
perhaps there are six or eight eases, and trying it on
one ease. Now. perhaps the easy selected might be
only the totem' the whole number that it would not eure.
This is neither doing themselves nor the medicine
justice. It a dozen persons were striken down with
endern in One town or neighborhood, would they nll
send for II physician, or would only one employ him,
and wait nod see if lie cored the first patiLnt? That
plan of procedure would he most absurd. So in the ,
ease of Dr. Boner's remedy, every ono who hits Fits
should try it for a reasonable length of time. It will !
not mire in 0 day or week; nothing worth doing cam i
be neeomplished at once. Whitt it easily done, is as
easily undone. TI e growth of lime is enduring.—
From the most respectable testimony we have exa
mined, we feel assur,Nl that by a proper perseverance
in this remedy. aloe eases of Epilepsy out of tell may
be ,ured. The Pills aro sent by mail free of postage
