Important Discovery in the Iron Manutac-
ture.-We learn this morning by note from
the agent of the New Jersey Iron Company,
at Boonton, morris Coz that the efforts of
the company have been completely successful
in pudding iron with anthracite coal-a
thing never before accomplished, though va
rious attempts have been made. Up to this
successful experiment bitu,ninous coal alone
has been USED in the process.-This discove.
ny will materially reduce the expense of ma
king iron, and at the same time largely in
crease the market for the exhaustless stores
of anthracite coal on our boarders. Taken
in connection with the recent discovery of the
method of'making iron from the ore with the
hot blast and anthracite, this last named i'm
provementwiil, it is believed ,,enable our iron
manufacturers to supersede the foreign ar,i-
cles, and su'ply the market at greatly reduc-
ed prices. We may also remark, in this con-
nection, thai the enterprise Of the iron COM
pany at Staaa5pe. which is also on the Nor
ris Canal, is steadily progressing. and that at
least one furnace on the improved plan will
be put in blast this season. These improve
ments cannot fail to give new impulse to
the business of the rich mineral region on the
line of the canal.

Poetry.

ODE FOR A LOG CAPyN RAISING.
We're coming, we're coming, the fearless
and free,
Like the winds of the desert, the waves of
the sea;
True sons of brave sires who battled of yore,
When England's red Lion ram wild on our
shore.
We're coming, we're coming, from mountain
and glen,
With hands to do battle for freedom again;
And tyranny trembles; it trembled before,
When the hands of our fathers were drenched
in its gore.
We're coming. we're coming, with banners
unfurled
Our motto is freedom. our Country the world
Our watchword, Columbia, let tyrants be-
ware,
For the Ides OF November will bring them
despair.
We're coming, we're coming, were coming
once more,
Our standard we nail to the Log Cabin door:
On the outer wall hang it, in triumph to wave,
A trophy of conquest, or shroud for the brave.
Then arouse! ye brave hearts, to the rescue
come on.
IT'S hero that leads you who always has
won;
Who fought for your Cabins, and never would
yield;
Nor will his last battle be lost in the field.
Then arouse We! arouse We! the fearless and
free,
Like the winds of the desert, the waves of
the sea;
Let the North, South, and West, to the sea
beaten shore,
Resonnd with the triumph of freedom once
more.

Trade ,oiM Western Merico.-The n. York
Express has the fol LOWING paragraph
@Witti-. lew days INGREDIENTS Frea,- So.
Louis, purchased in Boston, twenty-five hun
dred bales of domestic goods, chartered aves-
sci and sent them round Cape Horn, for Cal
itornia. This is an enterprise which emana-
ted at Santa Fe, and Upper Mexico. The
trade of that country has been generally car
ried on by land, in caravans, through a long
list of formidable tribes of Indians, very haz-
ardous and exceedingly difficult. This is the
first enterprise Of this kind that has'ever come
to our knowledge, and is worthy Of Inucl, re-
Election. The distance from St. Louis TO Bos-
ton, and from thence round Cape Horn to the
Coast of California, and from thence to the
interior, is a voyage altogether of a most en-
traordinary character-and there are but very
few individuals of any country, except Yam
KEGS, who would ever undertake an enter
prise of the kind. The parties who have I'M
dertaken it deserve, and we trust will be ann
ply paid for the labor, hazard and capital en-
gagged. There is, however, fact connected
with this that deserves notice, The goods
are purchased in Boston, and we are told that
many, very many, ofthe Western merchants
have this year purchased their goods in Bos-
ton. Our city has, until this year, enjoyed
this trade, and if it should lose any consider
able portion of it, it would be serious loss.
