NEW JERSEY IRON TRADE.—The iron trade of
New Jersey is more important than has been generally
supposed. A recent report shows that in 1864 the number
of men employed in that State in extracting ores was 1,614,
and the amount obtained 318,500 tons. Ten thousand tons
of zinc and Franklinite ores were obtained. The iron ores
imported from New Jersey into Pennsylvania are used al-
most exclusively in the Lehigh Valley for. admixture with
the local brown hematites. The market for New Jersey
ores, in quantity, is bounded on the west by the Lehigh
Valley; only very small lots penetrate west of the Lehigh,
where, too, small lots of Lake Superior ores are occasion-
ally used. The furnaces of Pennsylvania are mainly sup-
plied with ores from their own vicinage. The quantity of
iron ore smelted in Pennsylvania in 1861 was about two
millions of tons, of which aggregate about 10 per cent.
consisted of New Jersey ores, imported into the Lehigh
Valley.
A MANUFACTURING PEOPLE.—The Western
States have at length entered fully into the policy of en-
couraging domestic industry, and the West is now not
less anxious for protection than any other section of the
country. The vast copper, iron, and lead resources of
Michigan, Illinois, and Missouri have led to the establish-
ment of industrial works in those regions to use the ores
dug from these mines. So, too, the enormous demand for
woollen goods during the war caused a great icrase in
woollen mills at the West, as the Kentucky tobacco trade
has induced the establishment of flourishing tobacco fac-
tories In all the Western cities. What manufactures have
done for Now England and the Middle States in former
years they are in process of doing for the West; and the
western agriculturists, fully appreciating the value of the

upon the pile of human limbs. Then they laid him
gently upon his couch. He woke from his stupor and
missed his arm. With his loft hand he lifted the cloth,
and there was nothing but the gory stump. " Where's
my arm 2" he cried ; " get my arm, I want to see it once
more—my strong right arm." They brought it to him.
He took hold of the cold, clammy fingers, andlooking stead-
fastly at the poor, dead member, thus addressed it with
tearful earnestness ; " Good-by, old arm. We have been
a long time together. We must part now. Good-by, old
arm. You'll never fire another carbine nor swing another
sabre for the Government," and the tears rolled down
his cheek. He then said to those standing by :—" Under-
stand, I don't regret its loss. It has been torn from my
body that not one State should be torn from this glorious
Union."

recently their slaves, and many of the negroes feel, and
adroit- that such is a fact,", proceeds to say that the
planters are, for the most part, reconciled to the altered
condition of affairs, and concludes thus: —" Let Northern
Radicals hold their tongues and forego all interference
with what does not concern them, and let the negroes of
the South be remitted to the management of the white
men of the South, who thoroughly understand their
natures and necessities, and we sincerely believe that both
races will work harmoniously together for the good of
both, and for the common interest of the whole country."
There is a rumour that Maximilian's agents are
sounding about with a view of placing .a loan upon the
American market. Perhaps he is anxious to test his popu-
