Steel Important Di$cor6ry.--In
the town Of Duane, Franklin county. n.
York, is Il vein of magnetic oxide, distn
gushed from other minerals Of that region
by It's capacity Of yielding, directly from
the process Of smelling, substance pos
Scsing ali the physical and chemical prop
critics Of manufactured steel. From this
analysis, it appears thatthe steel properties
of the substance resulting from the srnelt-
ing Of this mineral are inherent, and not
the result Of any new or peculiar process
of assay. However little the world may
be prepared to give credence TO the exist
ence Of such a mineral in the state Of an
oxide, the fact is now too we'll established TO
admit of skepticism, and no one who will
examine the edge tools and cutlery Of all
kinds that have, during the past season,
been cast from this mineral and sent out
INTO most OF the cities for samples, can do
so great violence to his own senses as 10
doubt any longer the existence of natural
STEEL from which, by the simple mode Of
moulding and casting, razor blades, pen
knives, shears, plane irons, gouges, axes
of all sizes and descriptions, and every va
riety OF tools of the machnist and carpen-
ter's shop, are at one produced, having all
the properties and best qualities of the pu-
rest steel.
We have actually seen some samples of
articles cast out of this newly discovered
ore which have been brought TO this city,
and are INTENDED, we believe, to be presen-
ted 10 the National Institution

Temperance in Ireland In Mrs. Halls
Book on Ireland, occurs the following pas
sage, which person will hardly read
without emotion:
s. We entered one day cottage in the
suburb ct Cork, woman was knitting
stockings at the door. 1t was as neat and
comfortable as any in the most prosperous
district of England. We tell her brief
story in her own words, as nearly as we
can recall them.
"My husband is a wheelright, and al
ways earned his guinea a week, he was
good workman, ard neither bad man nor
bad husband, but the love for the drink
was strong in him, and it wasn't often he
brought NE home more than five shillings
out Of his one pound one on Saturday
night, and Il broke my heart to see the
po3r children too ragged TO send to school.
TO say nothing Of the starved look they had
out of the little ! could give them. Well,
God be praised, he took The pledge, and
the next Saturday he had twenty-one shil-
lings upon the chair YOU, sit upon. Q!
didn't give thanks upon my Bonded knees
that night? Still | was fearful it wouldn't
last. rnd | spent no more than the five
shillings was used to, saying to myself
maybe the money will be moro wanted
than it is now. Well the next week he
brought me the same, and the next, and
the next, until eigh: weeks passed, and
glory be to God! there was no change for
the bad in my husband, and all the while
lie never asked me why there was nothing
better for him out of his lard earnings; SO
| felt there was no fear for him; and the
ninth week when he came home 10 me,
had this table bought and these six chairs,
one for myself, four for the children, and
one for himself. And I was dressed in q
new gown, and the children all had new
clothes and shoes and stockings, and upon
his own chair I put bran new suit; and
upon his plate | put the bill aud rcsate for
them adjust the eight sixteen shllings
they cost that I'd saved out Of his wages,
not knowing what might happen, and that
always before went for drink. And he
cried, good lady and gentleman, he cried
like a baby-it was with thanks to God,
and now where's the healthier man than
my husband in the county Of Cork, or a
happier wife than myself, or dacenter or
better fed children than our children.

MILWAUKEE AND Rock RIVER CAYAI-The

not without cause, that the company did not intend

recent act of the legislature wisely regulates the f-
ture action Of the company in the expenditure OF the
prospective loan, and il will not be left entirely dis

Newspaper Postage.-A resolution has been intro
duced III Congress, by MIR. Pierce, of New Hamp-
ihlre, to change The rates of postage newspapers
sent to any post Office within thirty miles of their
publication shall be delivered free of postage -
iherc are number of prominent. reasons why a
measure OF Tins. kind should be adopted. The pre-
sent system OF newspaper Postage has neither the
merit OF equality or Justice. By the present law,
the amount of postage on papers is not regulated
according to distance. news paper brought drought
through the mail 10 this Territory from Boston or
New Orleans, is subject TO no greater postore Than
newspaper printed at Chicago, and sent 10 one of
orr post offices. newspaper sent to any portion
of the United States pays but one and a half cep,s
postage; and however Short the distance it PAYS the
same postage, provided il cross the line from one
state into another.
he present system Of newspaper postooe i coI
cula'ed 10 foster and encourage newspaper mono
poly. This monopoly has already exhibited ;,self
in our principal Atlantic cities in the production of
mammoth presses, which, by the concentration of
capital and influence are enabled TO food The coun.
try with newspaper reading cheaper than can be af-
forded by country presses. Our mails are crowded
with these ponderous sheets which the law ne rmi,s
10 he carried to any part of the United States with
the same charge 10 which the small country news
papers are frequently subjected in travelling len or
twenty miles. This inequality is working serious
injury TO the country and unless sometime is done
10 equaIze The rates of postage it is not difficult TO
foresee some of The consequences which will follow.
1t is universal adage that the press is power and
who does not see The danger of throwing the power
of the press into our large cities! Iflhe CITY press
enabled by the facilities which the present system
holds out to supplant in measure the country ,ress
the virtual tendency is. TO take from the cepn,rv

And can there be those, who sec nothing u-ro,,c in

Should the measure be adopted OF exemp ping all
newspapers from postage, sent TO any Off &c within

McLEOD.-The case of this individual continues
to occupy large space IN the public mind, among
the exciting topics Of the day. The Grand Jury of
Niagara county, during its present session a, Lock-
port found a bill of Indictment against Mcleod for
the crime of murder. This places the whole mlIler
in serious attitude: and if Mcleod shall be found
guilty when put upon trial and made to suaer he
penalty of The law, il is diTicnl how hosics
can be avoided between the. United States aud Great
Britain; especially if the position which Mr. Fox has
assumed, be sustained by the British government.
Ii was doubt the sincere wish of every good cil~
zen in this country. that Mel cod mcl' be found in
nocent of the crime alleged against him. for none
but reckless spirits desire hostiles between us
and Englltd. But if Mcleod be proved guilty of
the crime for which he now stands in'lct cd there
doubtless will be but opinion Nth respect 10 his
