Genuine vs. Bogus.---In Philadel
phia, NeVv York, Boston, and it may be
in this city, there are large speculative
operations in copper and gold mining
stockii. Quite a number of gold mining
companies have been established in New
York, either-for working the ores or for
dealing in the credit of the ores of Cola
radp • and is's the reports of mining ope
ratiorlein that Territory come forward,
proVing, as`tlfey continue tp do, the re
ality and the immensity of its mineral
wealth, there must necessarily he an in
crease in the number of the imaginative
conipanies, and a rise in the value of the
solid ones. In Philadelphia there is also
daily more attention directed to the coal
oil region in the Northwestern part of
the State, and the development of values
there has brought several large compa
nies into existence, and others, we un
derstand, are in progress of formation.
One or two really productive companies,
at is fair to prvrume, will start about an
equal number ,of tipriiaginative sort, so
that chum watching will be pecessary to
determine the genuine from the bogus.

' A 20-Inoh Ilodnian Gun.
h the politeness of Capt. Knap,
we were permitted to be present yester
day, at the casting, at the Fort Pitt Can
non Foundry, of a 20-Inch Gun of the
Rodman pattern,
which was successfully
accomplished at the extensive works of
Charles Knap in the Fifth ward. This
is the largest gun ever cast in the United
States, or in the world, we believe, and
is a triumph of which Pittsburgh, and
her manufacturers and mechanics, may
well feel proud. The metal used in this
casting was eighty-eight tons, which was
melted in three furnaces, and conveyed
in troughs to the mould, which stood up
right in an excavation some thirty feet
deep in the earth. The gun in its rough
state will weigh eighty-three tons, and
when finished about fifty-six tons. Its
length is twenty feet three inches. It
will throw a spherical shot of half a ton
weight, a solid ball of one ton weight,
and will require the enormous amount of
eighty pounds powder for a single charge.
The time intervening fron t he first drop
of the molten metal touching the bottom '
of the mould, until it reached the top,
was just twenty-two minutes.
A large number of spectators were
present, who evinced a deep interest in
the operation. Among the number we
may mention Major Rodman, the inven
tor of the principle now so successfully
tested ; Lieut. Col. Dyer, of Ordnance
Department,and Commandant at Spring
field Arsenal ; Capt. R. Attila., Assist
ant Chief of the Ordnance Beaurea ;
Captain S. M. Berrian, Inspector of Or
dnance U. S. Navy; Cart. Bennet, Chief
Inspector of Ordnance ; Capt. Edie,
Chief of Ordnance on Gen Meade's
staff ; Capt Hays, Chief of Ordnance of
Gen. Pleasanton's corps . Lieut Rock
well, Ordnance officer U. S. Arsenal, at
Lawrenceville ; Gen. Copeland, Com
mandant at Camp Copeland ; Ma Toni::
De Bascourt, of the Italian army ; Capt.
Goodenough, of the English Navy ;
Maj. Butler, of the Allegheny Arsenal, ;
together with many of our own proud-
neat citizens. There were also present a ;
number of ladies, who seemed greatly
interested in what they saw.

Butchers' Meeting .
A meeting of butchers and drovers, to
the number of some two hundred, as
sembled at the old cattle yards, in Alle
gheny, on Monday last, to take action
as to whether their business should con
tinue to be carried on at their old stand
or removed to the new stand at East Lib
erty. The secretaries were ordered to
have the proceedings published in the
city papers, but not having received a
copy, we, at this late day, give the gist of
their action.
Mr. N. Carr was chosen chairman.
After some discussion a resolution was
ofrerod that the busihess be epptinued
as heretofore at the Allegheny yards,
butchers and drovers being unwilling to
lose the time and spend the money which
would be required in the removal. Up
on a vote being taken on the resolution
it was adopted unanimously,those voting
pledging themselves not to buy in- sell
stock at any yards which have lately
been or may be established in this vicin
ity, and that they would continue to buy
of pr selt, for all those who may see fit to
bring stock to this market.
The impression having gone abroad
that the Allegheny yards had been
abandoned, on motion a committee of five
was appointed to draft resolutions.
which, with the secretary's report of the
discussion, were qrdered tt be published
n the city papers, and also in 'Western
papers, in order to counteract an influ
ence considered detrimental to the best
interests, of butchers 4,10:1 drovers.
_ .
The following are the resolutions rc
ported and adopted :
1. That the contemplated moving of the
.droa e
yards from Allegheny to Last Liberty to contra
ry to the interests and wishes of droi era and
butchers.
ITlat the retail yards will be retained and
conducted irs tetore to Allegheny City.
3. That tp7 brtrs4on at" the atcry eta tgla int teb
ers, addireh at itnneatine, he puhltshed
own and all 1148 Wpittein papers, 141ov - tying ohttta
'tattlers' of the datetintnalloit of the above named
parties to continue to buy and sell as in.usl at
these cards.
4. 'flat the drov era and butchers feel that !no
nopogeg, whether gotten up by indi, idultht or
coMpardes. ate Injurious to the majority
6. That we berteve the urw y4 - ch; at Last Lit.
erty have been gotten up to benefit a few, espeu
ally the Pennsylvania Railroad; contrary to the
Iniapeit vitt wishes of our business men gen
erally.
Coroner's Inquest.—Cor. 3h Flung
yesterday morning, held an inquest on
the body , of a woman named Mary Ph
yla, who died suddenly about eleven
()clock la,t night, at her residence on
Cherry alley. The testimony went to
show that the deceased had of late led
a very dissolute life, and 13 - 2 s much given
to the use of strong drink. A. verdict
was rendered that her death was the
result of intemperance. The`, decreased

rollment fill amendment to draftnper
sons of African descent to coustittte a
part of the national forces, Was discnSs
ed, involving the question of compeosa
; lion to loyal owners. 'Miring the debate'
Fernando Wood said the Confederate
Congress was now debating propositions
of peace, while we are legislating in vio
lation of the constitution.
I Mr. Cox favored peace propositions,
and believed if Fernando Wood were
sent on a mission to Richmond, peace
would be restored in sixty days.
Mr. Smith, of Ry., said he was the last
man to treat with rebels who must lay
down their arms and yield to the Gov
ment unconditionally.
The pending amendment on the en
rollment bill was that of Mr. Stevens, of
Pa., that all able-bodied ipale persons of
African descent between the years of 20
and 45, whether citizens or not, resident
in the United States, shall he enrolled
arcordin‘ to the provisions of the act to
which this bill Is a supplement, and form
a part of tile national forces; and when a
slave is drlifted and mustered into the
s wive his master shall receive a certiq
cze., thereof for pfte, and the draftee
inn shall be free; provided that slaves of
hiyal men only shall be paid for
r. Davis, of Indiana, made a sugges
, lion that the $BOO feature in the above
he omitted, to which Mr. Stevens
as
sented.
Mr. Davis also offered an amendment
to the above amendment, as follows :
The, Secretary of War shall appoint a

a Ward a.just compensation, not exceed-
ing the sum of POO, to each loyal owner
of any slave who may volunteer into
the• service of the United States, payable
out of the commutation money upon the
master freeing the slave
Mr. Baldwin (Mass.) moved to shilie
from the amendment the words : the
owner of any slave — and to substitute
the words '• persons to whom the i.alor
cd volunteer owes service
3lr. Bahlra - in', amendment Wll9 agreed
