THE. AMERICAN IRON WORKS

NEIVD IS:01"ER IN .If-4 A - UFA C T I'll I R
Iron and steam are the great powers which
keep the world in motion. The varied and
multifarious purposes to which iron is applied
are the chief sources of p:ogress and civiliza
tion. The railroad, the steamer—those ponder
ous machines upon which commerce depends
and the wealth of nations is increased—the
machinery which manufactures the cotton
and the wool into the tesile fabrics which
clothe humanity : the implements of agricul
ture, which produces our food ; the tools cf
the mechanic ; all the appliances of science
and mechanic art to purposes of usefulness—
all depend in a greater es Ices degree upon
the product of the rolling mill. Although
we do not make our lion into money, as the
Spartans did, a large prop-rtion of the poptia
lation of Pennsylvania make their money oat
of it,, directly or indirectly. In ito production
and in its uses, iron feeds and clothes more of
the people of Pennsylvania then any other of
the resources of life which Providence oilers
Here, where the manufarlu:e o f iron is so
large a part of our businase, we have become
so accustomed to look at it as a matter of
course that we do not properly regard our
large iron establishments. They are in tact
the great source of the material wealth and
prosperity of our people. They furnish cm..
ployment for labor, a market for the husband
men, and attract and distribute ( apital
throughout every business and avocation
in which men are seeking to gain wealth.
It is estimated that the various iron works
in and around our city employ an invested
capital of from twelve to fifteen millions of
dollars and give well remunerated employ"
ment to many thousands of people, The
facilities for manufacturing which are presented
here, have caused the business to increase
mast wonderfully within the last twenty years.
The single establishment of Messrs Jones A.
Lauth—one of the largest iron -works in
Pennsylvania, is capable of turning out a
greater product of manufactured iron, then
our whole city produced twenty years ego.
As a specimen of what a tiret class Fitts
burgh iroFt.manufactory is, we propose to give
a short description of
Tii E AMERICAN IRON
The rolling mill of Messrs. Jones k Lauth
is located on the southern bank of the Dionon%•
gahela, near the lit.° of the Borough of East
Birmingham. The entire works with the
buildings attached, occupy an area of ten
acres, having a fine river front with a wharf
for loading and unloading metal and other
freight. The mill is directly back of the
wharf, and, with its 'necessary buildiUguis
placed upon a fine level spot of ground adini
rably adapted for improvements. The works
are fenced in for purposes of safety and con
venience. Around the building arc located
forty two fine tenements—most of them sub.
stantially built two story brick houses—eccuo
pied by the workmen.
THE NACHINERY
Of the mill is all of the best quality, and
adopts all of the modern improvements.
There are eight trains of rolls, twenty prid,
dling and ten heating furnaces, and twenty•
five nail and spike machines in the mill. Be
sides these, there are a large number of other
necessary machines of different descriptions,
such as heavy shears, turning lathes, k - c.,
worked by steam. One of the most powerful
and curious of these is an immense machine
called a squeeze-, for making blooms, which
does the work perfectly, and as fast as three
men can feed it. It is capable of making
two blooms a minute. The mass of metal is
taken from the furnace, made into a bloom,
and rolled into a bar of iron at a single heat.
The process of rolling iron and making nails
is the same everywhere. We need not des
scribe it. The whole of this powerful ma
chinery is kept in motion by three steam en
gines, driven by four torts-four inch boilers
thirty feet in length, which ate in a separate
building. The stack, or chimney, w.iich ape
pears to be of admirable construction, and
draws like old Boreas himself, is six feet in
diameter inside, and abmit one hundred and
forty in height. In this department every
thing is neat and complete, and plenty of
working room is given to each machine and
set of rolls. The rolls are turned in the mill.

the furnace, their fuel has cost them but three
cents a bushel, which is from one and a half
to two cents cheaper than the wholesale
market price of this commodity—or, in other
words, it costs about three•tifths of the cue..
tomary contract price for supplies of coal in
this market. When it is considered that the
works consume about thirty thoui.and tons a
year, or from two to three thousand bushels a
day, the importance of this saving will be ap
parent.
'l'he metal and blooms which this establish
ment consumes come from all parts of the
country—from the anthracite coal region—
from Ohio -from up the Allegheny and
Youghiogheny rivers- in fact from every point
whore they can purchase it che4pest and best.
Lake Champlain and Lake Sup !riot ores end
fire clay are kept constantly on hand for lining
the furnaces. and al around are suitable
buildings for the safe keeping of all kinds of
supplies.
The capacity of this large establishment is
about tern thousand tons per annum, and con
sists of all sor.s and sizes of merchantable
iron, all descriptions of which ran': " A No.
1" in the market. Besides every description
of bar and rolled iron, and nails, they manu
facture large quantities of a very superior
quality of sheet iron, which is highly finished
and annealed by a peculiar process, so as to
be perfectly pliable.
MAY 13, 1655
As might be supposed, it has required both
a practical and scientific knowledge of the
iron business, as well as capital and ereat
business talent, to build up and manage Buell
an establishment as this. Mr. B. lAuth, one
of the proprietors, is himself a practical work
man, and has recently perfected an invention
of the most important character to iron con
sumers, and especially to those requiring
shafting for machinery. He has perfectly suc
ceeded in manufacturine common iron into
malleable steel by a simple and cheap process,
and is turning out shafting of all sizes, of the
most perfect kind, at a cost about onc.half as
great as can be afforded by the old method of
manufacturing.
The bare of metal are made perfectly cylin
drical, with a brilliant enamelled surface, much
more highly polished than can possibly be
done by turning and the usual method cf
finishing, by means of Mr. Lauth's discovery.
Persons accustomed to the uses of shaft'ng
in machinery will at once perceive the advan
tages and vast importance of this inventiore
The iron is rolled cold—a matter which has
heretofore been deemed an impossibility, owing,
to the nature of the machinery used. The fibre
of the metal is thus compressed, it is rendered
more tenacious and stronger, and undergoes A
change by which it acquires the ring, the 11:x
-ibility and general properties of steel. The
shalt is turned out highly polished, and capn
ble of withstanding fifty per cent. more later
al pressure than iron of the same siz prepared
in the common way. The cost of turning adds
largely to the price of shafting, and the coup.,
ling boxes are also an additions) cost, as they
are, like the shafting, sold at ten cents per
pound. By Mr. Lauth's process, shafts of any
length thirty feet, if required—in a single
piece, perfectly true and smooth, and with a
polish like the finest table cutlery, can be
turned out in less time than we have been det
scribing it. The importance of this invention
to those who use machinery cannot be over
estimated. It will reduce the cost of shaft
ing at least one hundred per cent., and can
and will be applied to an almost infinite vari.
ety of useful purposes—such , for instance, as
railroad axles, cotton and woolen machinery,
and all purposes where a fine finish is required
Messrs. Jones & Lauth have already shipped
several lots of this malleable steel to Philadel
phia, and are now putting up the machinery
to manufacture it in any quantity that may
be desired.
A patent has been applied for, and he groper
caveats filed by Mr. Lauth for his inventics,
which would doubtless ere this have teen
granted were it not for the fact that he has
also applied for patents in Europe, and it is
the custom in such cases that the patents
shall hear even date in the two countries, in
order more successfully to prevent infringes
meats. At present Messrs. Jones L Leath
are selling shafting of any size from one and a
half to three inches in diameter at six cents
per pound, and other sizes in proportion. The
most scientific and best practical judges of
iron in our city have pronounced this inven'.
tion a most excellent one. The product
speaks for itself, and parties interested can
have every opportunity of examining and
testing it. A better article in all respects is
produced, and can be sold at about one half
the cost of that manufactured by the oid
method. The details of the process of manu
facturing this medicable steel we have seen,
and there can be no doubt of its perfect sues
cess. But we must defer any further remarks
respecting Mr. Lauth's invention until another
time, but before closing this article we wish
to say something of
In all the departments of their establieh
mont, Mdsers. Jowls & Lauth emyloy about
three hundred and fifty men. Many of these
are workmen of the highest degree of 'ski],
and all are cheerful and happy, for they are
industrious and well paid. There are many
workmen in cur rolling mills who aro worth
five, ten, and some of them twenty thousand
dollars. At the American Works, each roan
seems to work for the general good, a-d the
most perfect confidence appears to Le main
tained between employers and employed.
It is but one of many such establisiucni:,
of which our city can boast, and which con
tribute Eo largely to the wealth, happiness and
prosperity of our hard workiLa population.

that I establish my position by showing that the

the platform there established, Mr. Buchanan was

The Phihery question was suspended, and the ore
dent:c,l of :dr. Rice were presented as Senator from
Mir - Ines )te.
As soon as they were prn;ented and read, Mr.. Har
lan presented charges from the people of Minnesota
charging Mr. Bloc with corruption in land sales.
Mr. Brown objected to the credentials being re
ceived, not becnuso the charges wore made, bat be
cause Minnesota was no State when she elected
Messrs. Rice and Shields. The whole thing is
wrong.
A debate ensued.
One of the charges made is that Mr. Rice sold land
at ono dollar and a half per acre, and gave receipts
for one dollar and a quarter per acre.
Mr. Seward, of New York, thou'ht Mr. Brown
more metaphysical than practical. The action of
Minnesota was taken when she was passing from ter
ritorial existence into the maturity of a State. The
election of these gentlemen was conditional that the
result should be effective from the period of its be•
cunizg a State.
Mr. Stuart, of Michigan, condemned the course of
Mr. Harlan. He spoke in the highest terms of the
Senators eicet.
'r. Harlan said he did not know personally the
new Senators, 'out he folt it his duty to present the
petitions of his constitutuents and the facts of the
case.
Mr. Berjamin, of Louisiana, explained how the
charge originated in the report that Mr. Rice made
to the War Departmeat. He stated how this occur
red, but no advantage was taken as
_intimated, nor
was anything wrong in the ease.
Mr. Bright, of Indiana, defended the new Senator
from the imputations. Ho believed that he would
satisfactorily explain to the country the matter at
issue.
Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, sustained Mr. Harlanin
presenting those papers of charges.
Mr. Rico was then sworn in, and ho immediately
addressed the Senate. Ho said that this was his first
appearance in this body, and ho felt that he was
placed in an embarrassing position. He had never
received any intimation of these charges. If the
gentleman from lowa had examined the papers on
file in the War Department, he would have found
that thorn was not one word of truth in the charges
made. Re should demand an investigation, and if
one single word impugned his motives as a govern..
merit officer, he would resign his position as a Sen
ator.
Mr. Harlan offered a resolution' for a Committee of
Investigation to examine the charges, with power to
send for persons and pnpers, which was laid over.
Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, presented the ore.
dentials of Gan. Shields, who was also sworn in as
Senator from Minnesota.
The Senate then adjourned.

WAPIIINGTON CITY, May 12.—The Committee on
Naval Affairs of the Senate and Hones held a joint
meeting this morning. The sentiment was favorable
to an increase of compensation to naval officers of
all grades. The chairman of each committee was re
quested to submit a bill for that purpose, and then,
if approved, press its pasgage, if not at this, at the
next session of Congress.
It is stated on good authority that nothing has
been elicited by the Investigation Committee to show
that the Secretary of War was in any way concerned
in complicity or collusion in the purchaso of Willett's
Point for fortification purposes.
It appears frJna the official report sent to the Senate
to-day in reply to Mr. Broderick's resolution, that

Senate.—A communication Tr a a received from the
Secretary of War, relating to the proposed purchase
(..f a. site fur the fortification of the harbor of San
Francisco.
Mr, Broderick, of California, declared the whole
rancho pr..po.ied to be purchased not worth more than
soren thousand dollars.
Mr. Fessenden, of Maine, objected to the price do
mended, two hundred thousand dollars, and thought
the necessity was Oct so urgent :hat Congress should
submit to such an enormous imposition.
Mr. Gwin, cf California, said that the site was in•
dispensable for the protection of the harbor, and
hence ho should net hesitate about the price.
The subject was referred to the Committee on Mil.
itary Affairs.
The consideration of the bill for the repeal of the
fishing bounties was resumed.
Mr. WI!coo, of Massachusetts, said that Massa.
ehusetts owned one-hall the fishery vessels of the
country, and has for . over two hundred and thirty
years been a source of interest to her people. At
the beginning of the seventeenth century, Massachu
setts exported to the value of four millions from the
fisheries. The possession of the fisheries was an
element in the Revolution, and thoit encouragement
has ever been the settled policy of the Government.
Mr. Wilson quoted es authorities, Ames, Geary,
Washinington and Jefferson, in proof, and also that
they were regarded as the nursery for seamen.
House.—The House proceeded to the oonsideration
of the business relating to the Territories, it being
the special order.

A gentleman living in Philadelphia says :
" In passing through Pittsburgh, some months
since, I purchased a bottle of Ba7rhave's Holland
Bitters. It relieved me so much, that on returning
home I bought two more bottles from Dr. Dyott,
which completely cured mo of Neuralgia. I have
recommended the article to many of my friends, and
four or five ef the umber say it cured teem. I
think my recommenditiontas done more for its sale
is Philadelphia than pour advertising."

GRNAT BLESSING To TEE AFFLICTIIIb—Dr.
MlLane, the inventor of the celebrated Liver Pills, prepared
by :Fleming Brorr , Pittsburgh, Pa., used there Fills for sev
eral }ears in his practice, before he coWd be induced to offer
them to th., 'midi., in such a manner as to make them know u
throughout the country. This learned physician felt the
same repugnance the all high minded men of science fed
in ebtering Ihe hits against those unscrupulous inipirl:a
who obtruds their useless nostrums upon the public, and
rely neon a system of puffing to sustain them. Convinced,
however, of the real value of the Liver Pills, and Influenced
by the plain dictates of duty, the Doctor finally authorized
Fleming Eros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., who are now theaolo pro
prietors, to manufacture and place them before tho public.
This great medicine has not disappointed the expectations
of his friends, the medical faculty, at whose instance he was
induced to place them before the public in their present
popular form. From every quarter do wo hear the most
gratifying accounts of their wonderful curative effects—the
East and the West, the North and the South, are alike laden
with "tidings of great joy " from the afflicted. These won
derlul Pills have completely conquered
,that great scourge
of Amerce, the Liver Complaint.

CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, manufactured by FLEMING
