A DOC. MS PUT E.—Two specimens of the canine race
says the Albany Citizen,—one a full blooded mastiff,
with green eyes And white teeth, and the other a most
villanous cur, who had lost the , nd of his tail in one
fight and the two-thirds of Ids ears in another—fell
into a fierce dispute yesterday, in the font of our of
fice. The cause of the quarrel was a miserable bone
—a well picked affair, that no dog of good character
woold hare touched on any account. The bone laid
midway between thehungry claimants. The slightest
motion on the part of either towards picking it up,
was resented and repelled. Thus matters stood a few
minutes, when the disputants proceeded from barks to
blows, and fought as earnestly as if the thermometer
was st 50 instead of 0) degrees. In the midst of the
tussel, a large, mild eyed, good natured, but determin
ed dog of the noble Newfoundland species, walked
quietly out into the street, picked ap the bone, carried
it into a shady place nn the sidewalk hard by, and
laying it downhy his side, placed his huge paws upon
it, and patiently awaiting the result of the fight. It
was of a short duration. The mastiff whipped the
cur, and sent him down street, yell ing with pain and
rage. The victor, with triumph flashing in his eyes,
turned proaily round to bear off the spoils of his vic
tory, but the hone bad dkappeared! The conquers
tall fell, his ears flopped wildly, he flew from place to
place, scented the earth in every ditection, and finally,
to his astunisment, no doubt, espied the prize he had
fairly wan, in the possession of our Newioundland
friend. In the first exultant flush of victory, he had
dashed towards him, but n display of two rows of
glistening ivory and an ominous growl took the starch
all out of his courage. He saw at a glance that the
coveted bone was out of his reach, and the wiry -hair•
ed creature put off up street, in high but impotent
dudgeon.
[7 . , ;-P A gentlemnn who has had opportunities to gnin
some information 4,n this subject, informs us that the
Iron Mountain of Missouri is 000 of the greatest hum
bugs of Ow day, and that its "rich metallic resources"
can never be turned to any useful purpose
[Pittsburgh Morning Poet
If the gentleman's opportunities were as represented
he must either have let them pass unimproved, or have
deliberately imposed upon the editor of the Post. It
is true that the vast iron mines ira Missouri have never
been worked, but that fact is ascribed to causes wholly
disconnected with the quality of the ore. Our State
is newly settled, when compared with Pennsylvania;
our population scattered over an immense extent of
territory, agriculture is the prevailing putsnit of our
people; and we have but little floating ca pit alto invest
in mining and manufacturing. With the increase of
our wealth will come the increase of manufactures.—
We have water power in abundance, rice mines o r
coal, iron, lend, copper, and other valuable minerals
and boundless agricultural resources. As our State'
fills up, and agriculture becomes less profitable, many
persons a ill engage in other pursuits, and capital seek
different investments. Already many of the farmers of
western Pennsylvania are leaving its less productive
sail and founding large settlements in Alissouri. In a
newly settled State, where the population has flowed
in from natural causes, or pursuant to what seems the
current of population in this country, agriculture first
engrosses public attention. Men of large capital set.
dorn leave the older States to settle in the now, unless
to provide for their children, or toembark in profitable
speculations. But citizens of small means, attracted
by the low price of land, and its fertility, are generally
our pioneers. Suit has been in Missouri. Now, how
ever, a new order of things is about to occur; and the
first movement of importance in the working of the
ore found in exhaustless quantities, and easy of acess,
at the Iron Mountain in St Francis county. and similar
mountain's in the adjoining county.
. .
The quality of that ore has Jeen tested in eastern
cities and in Europe, and it not only yields a greater
per cent of metal than any Pennsylvania ore, but the
iron has been proved by the most complete tests, tobe
more malleable tenacious, and easily converted into
steel. So well satisfied have capitalists become of its
value, that they have been employed to commence ope.
rat ions, and if the best judges have not been greatly de
ceived, Missouri will 6004 send low ibe market,
best iron manufactered in this Union, and equal to any
that is imported. &vetel of our Southern counties
*fetich in minerals, and the working of the iron mines
lead to the more extensive working of the lead
and copper fairies. Our mineral resoarces have not
yet been explored, years must elapse before they are
fully developed. The iron interests of Pennsylvania
will 'find a formidable competitor in hltssouri. Pitts
burgh will have a rival in some town not yet marked
out in the southern part of our State.
Bet our mines are notconfined to southern Missouri.
In the county adjoining St. Louis some of the richest
mines in the world have recently been discovered.—
On the Merrimack, Gasconade and Osage, there are as
rich bedsof iron as are known in the Union, if not the
world. Capital alone is wanting, to make them great
sources of wealth, and that will soon flow in. The
flippant paragraphs of editors at a distance, who lend
willing ear, it may be, to ignorant or interested trav
ellers, cannot plevent the future manufacturing impor
tance ofthis State, and they might as well look to the
facts and act accordingly. Eastern capntalists and en.
ters were long incredulous as to thequantity and quali
ty of the ore at the iron mountain, and even now do not
appreciate its immense value. In a few years, when
the iron manufactured from that ore shall be sent to
eastern markets for sale, they will reahze its impor
lance, and wonder that so profitable an investment was
overlooked by them.
The company which has embarked in this enter
prise, has proceeded very quietly thus lar, to make all
suitable arrangements, wishing to send the manufac
tured article into the market and to rely upon it for
favorable sales, rather than on the previous statements
or prPdietions of the public press. The preparations
for the commencement of the work or, a large scale
are nearly completed, and we doubt not the result.
