MOUNT SAVAGE Iron WORKS. Mo
one who visits Cumberland should tail to
see the Mount Savage Iron-works, distant,
by railroad, ten miles. |. is an immense
establishment. was astonlshed to find,
in the very heart OF the wilderness, where
only FIVE years ago, grew alone the noun
tain oak and sugar maple, scene which
almost realized the enchantment of Eas-
tern fable found myself IN the midst of
manufacturing town, containing pop
ulation Of three thousand souls. There
are five houndred hands constantly enga-
ged at these works. Over two hnndred
houses are erected for the accommodation
of them ard their families. The amount
of capital invested is 100000. The
works, as you NAV imagine, are really
stuppndous, and there are about two hun
bred tons of iron manufactured week.
1t is the only American esta bIishmcnt ex.
tpnavely engaged in the manufacture
of heavy railroad fon--now and hereto
fore manufactured in. and imported from,
England. 1t is a fact, which IS no less
Singular than true, that the effort made
last winter TO repeal the duty on railroad
ron, was originated and urged before
Congress by those very eastern tatitf
champions who were so anxious to keep
the duty on all articles in which they had
an interest. A similar effort, and from
the same quarter, will bo made at the en-
suing session of Congress. The Noun;
Savage IRON works are driven by steam /;
the coal and fuel supplied from their own
mines, near the works. The coal is of
the same character as that Of the Mary
land Mining Company, referred to in the
preceding number of these Sketches
They use daily one hundred and fifty tons
Of this coal, and transport one hundred
tons daily to the eastern market, by their
own railroad (ten mles) to Cumberland,
and thence, by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, to tide-vater. Passenger cars
run twice day from Cumberland TO the
works--fare l2s cents. They have also
constructed a turnpike from the works 10
the same place. The president and mana
ger of this extensives establishment is
Colonel VIM. Young, who receives a sal
airy OF $4,000 year! He is assisted
by Mr.. Wells, who obtains a salary OF
$4,000 per annum, the agent and engi-
neer Of the English stockholders. Both
these gentlemen are capable, accommoda.
ting, and efficient men,

yANDALrsm In HIGH PLACES.

The Washington Union has recently en-
deavored 20 make the present Tariff un-
popular by representations cfthe immense
profits Of those who own and manage the
manufactures. lssressonng is tina, these
profits are necessarily obtained by giving
the laborers low wages --ss if It were not
palpably true that the greater the abIlI-
~ OF the manufacturer 10 pay, the higher
will be the wages of labor. II inoreinste
profits are made, competition will inevIta-
bly, lower them TO the proper Standard
But the whole object II the Union is TO
make political favor with the laborIng
classes, and hence the zeal with which u
urges its most fsllscious and dangerous
arguments.
In an article in Tuesdays paper, this
spirit Of appealing to the prejujices OF the
laboIers is carried 80 far, that late strike
for time, by TIE factory girls in Pttsburg
and Allegheny city is openly justified. -
The article is headed IN gIaring capitals,
CAPITAL DEPRESSING LABOR.
THE STRONGER TYRANSizISG OVER THE
WEAKER SEX"
The object Of the movement is 10 ie-
.duce the number OF working hours from
eleven or twelve to ten. The Union has
the boldness, ir country of laws, to
speak Of the unpopular system and the at
tempted remedy in this language;
"This system is not only oppressive
upon other classes, but It ia shamelessy
selfish in regard to the operative females
a spirit of resistance, hoiceuer, has gone
forth. The girls at Piisburg hare struck,
not for higher pages, but more moderate time;
and what generous man does not sympa-
thise wiih their feelings, and cish them
success 7"
1t may be true, that IL hours is too
long for females to work but surely it is
beyond preceden, that journal occupy
ing the important post Of organ TO the ad-
Iainistrstion, should publicly applaud
hoyden march through crowded streets,
and encourage proceeding more likely
than any other to engender social disor.
der and violence.
When tho purpose OF this article is con-
sidered, we may we'll fear that we have
fallen upon times, when men "crook tho
pregnant hinges Of the knee" not indeed
at the foot Of an individual tyrant, but at
every demonstration Of unbridled license

suggestions from time time, both in this country
and in England, that the negotiations between tne
two countries in reference to the Oregon, wouic be
connected with their commercial relations In o'per
