We are and have been opposed, to the charterrng a

advocates of separating the Government iron MI Banks.
The policy of the two parties here, upon these tnhda-

GOV. PORTER.

The Keystone in enumera,ng the democratic
papers who have already hoisted the name OF
David r. Porter to the mast Lead" committed an
error in placing The Milton Ledger in that list.
The mistake however. is natural, aud of l.tle i'm
portsncc. The Ledger had placed the name OF
Gov. Porter at the h, al of its columns pr, vious to
tic election and has since Acknowledged that it
was done for the purpose OF aiding the election OF
Ie,se G. Horton. Thus verifying what we assert =
ed during the election campaign "th,t the Lcdger''
and some of its kindred prints, we c secretly op-
posed to Gov Porter and W. driven into his sup
or, by The establishment Of this press. The haul
ing down of its colors after the election is most
conclusive proof of the truth of what we asserted,
and affords some striking eyid,ncc of the populari-
" Of Gov. Porter.

ANTHRACITE IRON WORKS.

A few days since we visited the magnificent An
thrnoi,c Iron Works, now erecikg near D,nv,lle,
by Chambers, Bdjle aud Go. The two furnaces,
which are now near completion, are Of the larges,
class, and wil it is supposed; yield about 80 tons
each, per week. The works aic constructed in the
mos, durable manner. No expense appears to have
been spared to render every thing perfect pos
sibe. A rail road is graded leading from the " ore
be" about quarter of mile in cxtc II, to the top
of the stacks In fact, nothing seems Ia be wanting
TO reader il one Of the hest AID perfect works
of this kind, tha, can be found in this probably
any other county the abundance of Coal aud Iron,
and that too; of superior quality, lying contiguous
TO each oh,r is defined at no distant ~, to
der the valley of the Susquehanna, at least thai
portion of it abounding in Coal aud Iron, one of
the most wealthy, populous and enterprising Sec
tionS of the Union. In addition to the above we
should not neglect to notice the two Anthracite
Furnaces now silently progressing to completion in
the Shamokn Coal region. These furnaces are
b., ing constructed by the Shamokin Coal Company.
and are located at the eastern end OF that portion of
the ID lnve and Potisville railroad, leading from
Shamokn to Sunbury. These furnaces also
of the largest class, and will be pu, in operation
mex, Spring. A valuable bed of iron ore has been
Jiscuv, rod underlying the Gal strata Thus these
furnaces can be supplied with coal and iron ore
from the pis mouth. These are important adyun'
tagcs aud uro beginning to be appreciated.
