Every day opens some new vein of wealth to llu eye of the industrious examiner into the resources of Pennsylvania. Mr.'Strong.in the Buisness Con vention, recently held at Harrisburg, spread before ihat body amass of interesting fuels, in relation to the immense value of this Commonwealth. Our rich wheat lands, cultivated with proverbial industry, are justly estimated by all. Dut the time has arived, when every mountain and hill of iton or coal, or both, will have their mineral wealth fully explored. Tho ancient chemists spent years in search of the Philosopher's Stone, by which thry were to trans mute the baser mctuls into gold. We have, howi ver discovered the secret. A pound of iron can, by the skill of the mechanic, bo made more valuable than a pound of gold. Besides, it calls into operation so much industry, in the ptogrrss of its multifarious changes. Employment is ntedful to keip ihe hu man mind in a proper state of activity. Pennsyl vania, with her iron, and with her anthracite und bituminous coal, will bo the great manufacturing State of this Union. Her coal will drive machinery to any extent, and her agricultural products will feed an immense population. The immense importation of iron here must and will cease. Foreign naliuns will not drain Iiom us our specie, in payment fur there iron. Our iron and coal mountains are the inexhausliblc silver and gold mines of Pennsylvania; and the day has anived when we must woik them effectively and indus trioukly. We have the lights of science in eur hands, to guide us in the pulli way of certain success. V. S. Gazette. driving t'ie machinery of manufactories. This is Ihe true poliry which Pennsylvania, must imit ite; a huge portion of her coal nnd imn must both be consulted in propelling her own machinery, ami driving her own cotton, woollen anil iron factories. The quantity of p'g iron annually manufactured in Pennsylvania is estimated at 110,000 tons, or one-third of all that is made in the United Slates. It may be incrersed so as to meet tho demand of the whole Union, though a yet tho annual vulue is estimated at only ?.),00fl,000. Tho amount of pig iron made at.nually in great Britain is valued at f 28,000,000, while the valu given to it by manufacturing part of it into Sir iron, hardware and cul!ery, is estimated at 00,(100.000 mn-c. Pennsylvania sends iron to tlio North Slates, and onc-fif It of it is returned to her in manufactured aiticles; she sends ihem coul and Hour, und re ceives in return cotton fabrics and articles that she ought to make herself. The Census returns show that there were raised in Pennsylvania in I. SMS, 13,029,756 bushels of wheat, ouc-sixth of oil that is raise, I in the Union ; the annual value, when made into ll ti', may be estimated at $13 029.7GG. England, S.olland Wales contain 513,833,330 ucres of land, of which 31,005 COO acres aro a i able, 20,403,100 pasturage, S,'.I35,000 forests and gentlemen's parks, nnd 12, IS85.330 ineapablo of cultivation. Pennsylvania contains 3(1,000,000 of acicsff lurid, not more 3 -000,000 w hich are incapable of being converted into tillage and pasturage. And yet great Britaian which in 1 700, w hen her population was mainly agricultural, produced only 11,000 bushels ol wheat , in 1830, under the stimulus of her manufaclun s, increased the amount to one huudicd and thirty millions neatly twice as much as is raised in the wholo United States. Thus it will be seen that the value of the great staples of Pennsylvania is annually of Coal ,f 5,000,000 ; of Iron, $5,000, 000; and of W'heet,?13,000,000 making an ag gregate of $23,000,1100. X .
