road Company frombonsummating the con?
tract for the lease of the Erie Railroad. The
reasons upon whioh itwas based work: First,
that it was not within the corporate power of
thecompanies to make inch a contract; sec
ond, that its terms were io violation of the
•Inking-'Tand provision of the oonstitation;
and thud, that the bonds proposed to he sold
aud'porehased .are not secured by the first
lien on-the railroad, hat that there is a prior
of $7)000,000 not'legally satisfied,
and that if thecontracts be consummated, the

Western Armory std Foundry.
Xcasts. EbuoiS I wrote yosterday, “We
bring to Pittsburgh the ores of Canada, Mich
igan, Lake Superior and Missodri, and make
them into iron cheaper than it is made at the
mines. 1 ’ Tour type makes me say pirns, in-,
stead of iron. Also, for “Col. Bruford,” read
-Bomford, and for a “bloomer” read bloomery.
- Thirty-five years ago,' tbe Commissioners
named in my letter of yesterday, one of whom
was at the time Superintendent of the Spring
field Ambry, said in this Report:
“It is evident that the important advantage
of extending the operations of an Armory,
and at a short notice, to the production of any
; given number ef arms, can only bo obtained
by locating it in the vicinity of a place pos
sessing capital, and the command of extensive
water or steam power. It is certainly unne
cessary to give a detailed account of the man
ufacturing resources of Pittsburgh for the
purpose of comparing them, at this time, with
those of any other town in the western coun-
try. It may he proper to mention, however,
that there are fourteen steam engines, from 20 to
80 horse power each, now in operation, either
In the town or its immediate neighborhood
two of whioh were erected daring the last sea
son. Four of these are employed ia forging,
rolling and slitting iron. There are also two
manttfaetoriee qf steam engines, besides several
establishments that are more or less exten-
sively engaged in working np iron and other
metals into various articles of commerce. *
e • « « The great facility it (steam) af-'
fords to individual skill and industry must be
considered as assuring most unlimited re
sources to such an'sstabtishment in the neigh
borhood of Pittsburgh, where iron and fuel
are cheaper than at any other place in the
western country. * * * , * •
The healthiness of the country around
Pittsburgh and its constant comttaudlof all
the material and labor that are either perma
nently or occasionally required at an Armory,
leave no room for unfavorable anticipations in
those respects. * • *, But
its mdsY essential advantage is in its manu
facturing establishments, and other resourooa,
which would secure to tho Government, in
case of emergencyV the means of extending the
operations of the Armory to the production of
any required number of arms.. By a compari
son of tho coat of materials and fad used in
the manufacture of the muakot at Springfield,
Massachusetts, and the probable cost at Pitts
burgh, it may be manufactured at the latter
place* more than fifty cents less than at Spring
field, in the cheapest year.”
•Ono of the items in making up the proba
ble cost at Pittsbnrgh seems oddooough. It
reads/ “ Jfeight of articles which mint- be
transported across the mountains to Pittsburgh,
annually, vir: steel, brass, sine, emery, files,
oil', buff and'band leather, glue and sand-pa
per; total, 47,600 lbs., at 3 cents per pound,
$1,428 00.” Every .item except emery and
sine Is made as cheaply ia Pittsburgh as any
where, now-a-days add the rate of transport
tation across the mountains seems to brquite
fabulous.
If, from the quotations made, you strike out :
“14 steam engines,” and say three hundred—
strike/ out “4 forges and rolling mills,” and
say ticentu-Jwe —for “2 engine manufactories
and machine shops,” read forty-Jive engine
and machine shops—and instead of “besides
several other establishments engaged,” Ac.,
you -read several Aundmfo—4he-argument of
the Commissioners is applicable to tho Pitts--
burgh of to-day. It seemed absurd to these
gentlemen to think of comparing the foeitities
for the manufacture of iron of any Western
city to tboso of Pittsburgh when they* wrote.
And to-day, no city, probably, in the United
States, except Chicago, would think of institut
ing a comparison with any hope of advantage.
Philadclphiadaims to bo the greatest man
ufacturing city in America, atid tho total of.
all her productive industry justifies tho as
sumption. Our present business, however, Is
with the iron and steel alone. For manu
factures in these articles, her nearness to tho
great Anthrieite mines and to tho iron regions
fives Philadelphia remarkable advantages,
n 1856 the total iron product ofthe United
States was 782.958 tons. Of this, Penpsyl
vania furnished44B.sls tons.. Thosameyear
there were •in Eastern Pennsylvania 116
forges or bloomories and 63 rolling mills.
Freedly, in his excellent work on Pbila
dclphla and its -manufactures, lays down as
axioms: “ Ist. That but few places in' any
pnontry are well adapted for general manu
factures. 2ndly. That tho best possible lo
cality in the United States for general manu
facturing is an attractive and suitable centre
of wealth, popalation and intelligence, situa
ted t*t a populous district, abounding in well de- '
veloped macs of coal and iron, and possessing
established and superior facilities vf intercom
municatioa with all parts of ouf own country.
3dly. If there be two or more such
localities, the one possessing advantages in
the highest degrtt of perfection, and
the one having already the greatest number of
- targe and well-managed manufacturing estab
lishments, must be (Ac best market in which to
buy the eommodiliee manufactured there, and
eventually ~te\U be the chief ecat of manufacture*
in the United State*,” The correctnesi of theec
positions will hardly be denied, and if appli
cable to general manufactures, it is clear they
aro still more so .to particular branches, and
especially to Iren and Steel. „In the year
1858, the value of all the manufactures of
iron and steel produced in the city of Phila
delphia, was $12,852,150, and the number of
hands employed in producing it was 10,410.
These aggregates include all the manufactures
of iron and steel, from a locomotivo to a pair
of The value of the iron manufac
tures of Pittsburgh in 1857, as given in detail
in .Mr. Thurston’s b ok, published in that
year, was $16,042,304. - The number of,hauds
'working in iron, 12,000. Prom theso figures
no one can escape the conclusion that Pitts
burgh hgs already by far the greatest number
of large and well-managed iron working es
tablishments of .-any city in the Union, and
mast always be the chief iron manufacturing
city in America. In selecting; a place in
which to-begin any branch of business, a sin
gle individual may err; but if bU enterprise
is followed by numbers of others, it must be
oh account of his'succest. Where numbers
congregate to engage in a branch of manu
facturing, the place must seem to them to be
best for the purpose, and self interest alone
being The guiding motive, their judgment may
be trusted. The Government will be only
vise in establishing its iron works where it
finds the most iron workers.
Our fast Chicago friends in their
al” Betting forth the advantages of that city
as a site for a National Armory and Foun
dry," say (page ll)~under'the bead of isos:
“ IFt'fAouf fear of comparison, it may be said
that no city on ffc* continent posseaaes equal ad
vantage* with Chicago a* a point for the Iron
ilany/actori**.” They then enumerate: Ist.
i -Lake Superior iron; 2d. ~Hi**ouri; 3d. Penn
ayltania and New York} 4th . Tennnettee, and
so on to Scotch pig . The only wonder is that
they did not oontinue the enumeration, in or
der, through &icerfuA-Ausfrafci>< and Japanese,
and conclude with “the valuable ores lately
discovered by Dr. Livingston iu South Afri
ca;" After the close of the enumeration of
these irons, they say; "The cost and tuppty
of steel and wrought iron aro proportioned to
those of cast iron;t< will no the nett*sary to go in
todttaU on tkUsmlfect.’i The eream of this joke
is, that any detail on the subject would ex
pose the fact, that,tho iron and stool comes
from Pittsburgh.- 7
Yesterday, I mado tho statement that more
Lake Superior ore is smelted in and about
Pittsburgh tbau on the shores of Lake Supe
rior. To-day lam able to put this more def
initely by saying, on the authority of one of
our most experienced motal dealers, that there
aro four blast furnaces at tho mines; and in
the vicinity of Marquette, now in operation;
There are ticatty blast furnaces, in and about
IHttsburgb, engaged in making iron, in whole
or. in part, from ..Lake Superior ore. It is far
within bounds, to say that there is three times
as much Lake Superior ore smelted by means
of the cheap fuel and tabor in this vicinity,
as is smelted on tho shores of the lake. Tho
1 iron made -by the four furnaoes, hear Mat
i quette, finds its market in Pittsburgh, Cleve
land and Detroit, The quantity sold in Chi
cago, ft any, is hardly appreciable.. Yet our
Chicago friends would have Congress establish
a National. Foundry there,on account of the
great nearness to the mines of Lake Superiorl
I fear this .is a somewhat rambling letter.
I will not promise yop any other sort on this
satybet, and when either of us got tired, we
will stop printing or writing.

The Philadelphia Election Contest.
■.The contest in the matter of the election of i
Messrs. Ewing and LawrenoO, the former for j
Sheriff, and tits latter for Clerk of the Orphans j
Court, 'has commenced in earnest in the Phil- {
ad'elphia Common Pleas. The petition in the j
ease of Stevenson vs. Lawronce seta out *rlth
an allegation that the act of assembly author
ising soldiers to vote ia unconstitutional, and
that if the votes so cast had been rqoctod,
as they ought to have been, William C.
Stevenson would have-had a clear legal ma
jority over Albert Lslwrenee of at least 876
votes. Second, that there were received and
eounted a large number of v0te5,(2098,) “none
of -whieh rotes should have been taken and
counted, because they were cast
whb.were not qualified electors and citizons of
this Commonwealth, In actual military ser
vice, in conformity with taw, nnder the au
thority of the Governor of this Common
wealth, on the requisition of the President of
the United States.”
The arguments were quite lengthy, aud no
decision will be arrived at for woeks—nr per
haps months.
The War Among tbe Boys.
Tbe juvenile battles in Allegheny have as
sumed such a serious'aspect that the police
hare been compelled to interfere. The latest
skirmish was between the CathOlio lads of the
Fourth ward school, and the Protestant boys,
who met in hostile array on the East Common.
One little fellow was “laid out” with a blow
on the head from a stone, and others were in
jured to a loss extent. Four of tho combat
ants wore seised by the police, (one Catholio
and three Protestants) and conveyed to the
lock-up. Only one of these admitted having
thrown stones, and he cutely Insisted that he
had been “impressed into the service” under
threats of a .“good ticking,” and after he
throw two or throe stonos ho “deserted,”
andwms making for homo,when arrested !
Mayor Drum is determined to pat a stop to
these squabbles, and ho will fine every boy
who is caught mixing in thorn. The lads
were finod one dollar eaoh r with costs, which
of course had to be paid by thoir parents.

land, Capt. arrived here last night,
from St. Thomas, Nov. 27th. Capt. Rowland
states that tbo Captain of tho Iroquois is en

Sumter, and on tho night of the 23d, ho made
signals that she was leaving the harbor, but
no notice was taken by the Captain of the
Iroauois. His First Lieutenant tried to per
suade him to gire chaso, which could easily
hare. been done, and tho pirate captufed, as
she draws a foot more of water than the Iro
quois, but he would not.to hear to.it, saying
Tt would bo vory unpleasant for him to cap
ture her, as he and Semmes had been school
mates, and Semtnes bod been bis former su
perior officer. Also, that he did not want to
>reak the neutrality laws. The moremouts
of the Sumter were plainly seen from tpc dock
of the Iroquois—the former taking a south
erly course. The Captain of the Iroquois
thon gave order* to proceed to Bt. Thomas, not
making the least effort to capture the pirate,
after having been lying off tho port several
days for that solo purpose. On those
facts becoming known at St. Thomas, the
greatest indignation prevailed among Ameri
cans in port, and othors friendly to tho Unitcd
States. -
