beautiful ornaments are formed front this woader-

glad to see many of the families of our most re
spectable citizens present. Every one was inter
cited in watching the manufacture of the different
articles to be given away at the clone of the exhi

on the 18th of April, 1861, in response to the first
proelamotion of President Lincoln for troops to
meet the swift on-coming surges of armed tieitson,
an 1 of the manner In which that little force assis
ted for ten days thereafter to hold Washington at a
most trying and critical period, is familiar to you,
especially to Hon. St SION CAMERON, who, as Sec

those troops, and IS :Mitre of the. service they ren,

It has becu suggested-that Congress might prop
erly take cognizance of that serviee beyond the
resolution of thanks adopted in July, 1861, by the
presentation to each man who participated In that
movement of a testimonial which he can wear
with honor duriughlti lifetlmr, and. at his death,
hand down with pride to I& children, to be kept ,
in the family as on helr-loom.
On behalf of those COlltratilE6, now` partially or

A rorrebpondent saps:— Dr. Win. Fields, of
Wilmington, Del., ha, patented his great pro
cesies for making Iron an 3 steel in puddling and
bolliN furnaces from any kind of pig iron. • It
mutters not what kind of coal Is used to make pig
iron as this process removes all the impurities
from the iron by decarbonising, d estdpiturizin g a nd
dephosphorizing, and reearbonizes the metal for
steel. This steel is suitable for nil purposes, in
cluding rails, cutlery, etc. As the Doctor has
patents with the most complete specifications he
forewarns persons from infringing on his patents.
Helms one patent on furnaces and the second Is
expected daily from Washington, with whlelt h •
elaitus he can mat e five tons of east steel In front
twenty to twenty.five minutes direct front the iron
