METALLIC RESOURCES OF THE UNITED
STATEs.-lron is the most abundint metallic
mineral our county affords. It's value is ten
times the value oflhe gold and silver, and
one half The value of all the metals produced
in the United States. Iron is found in su-
cry State in the Union-(a fact which think
is not generally known.)
The most valuable mine is one in Sails.
bury, Conn.,, which yields 5000 tons annu-
ally. The mines in Duchess and Columbia
counties, in this State, produce annually
10000 tons of ore: Essex Co., 1900 tons;
Clinton 5000; Franklin 600; ST.. Lawrence
1000; amounting in value to mora than
E50O,O00. The value ofthe Iron produced
III the United States in 1885 Was S5,0O0,-
900, in 1887 $7,700,00O. In Ohio 1900
square miles are undarland with iron. A
region explored in 1898 would furnish iron,
81 miles long, and i niles wide; sqeare
mile would yield 100000 tons Of pig iron
so that this district would contain l,050, ,000,.
600 tons. BY taking from this 400, 900 an
nually, {, larger quantity than Eng land pro-
duced previous TO 1922 it would last 270C
years! as long distance, certainly, as any
man looks ahead. The States of Kentucky
Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland and
Virginia, possess inexhaustble quantities o
iron ore. In Tennessee 100000 tons are
annually Manufactured. Notwithstanding
our great iron resources, more than on,
half Of our cutlery, hardware, railroad iron
g., is still imported from Great Britain.
1t is supposed by geologists that the week
ly supply Of gold from our mines will b.
equal TO the demand, and that our mines
will yet be more profitable than the mines Of
Brazil or Columbia.
The most extensive lead mines in the
world are in Missouri, where the lead region
is 70 miles long by 50 wide. These mines
in 1928 produced 100000 tons, and the
whole produce Of the United States was g.
332, los tons.
Ii has been estimated that the quantity Of
iron required in England for railroads, g.,
for the cnrren. year, will he about 1885,
700 ions, which it is supposed will be equal
10 all that country will produce.
The quantity Of lead manufactured in .he
Uni'ed States in 1873, was l2,3ll,7 ,730 lbs.

roRrreN PArrR.--The Ohio State Journ.

FOREIGN PApER.--The Ohio State Journ-
a says "the crusade against the Banking
system Of this state will give us a currency
composed Of the Bank paper of the surround
ing States over which we have no control,
and as 10 H. soundness of which we have no
guarantee. All Bank paper out of the
State is readily enough admitted 10 be un-
sound, though the system Of banking and the
character Of bankers in other states is no viii,
worse than in Ohio, but il is convenient TO
speak truth of the bank trish Of other states.
But we ask ihs business men in this section
of country what proportion ol Ohio paper
is now circulltin, among us? Is it less
scarce or less irresponsible than il was
before Kellry's monster law came into ex-
;stcnce? II would not be- difficult to persuade
our people, holding ,wa-thirds of their circu-
la,ing medium in foreign pa per, that the Ohio
banks send oirtheir bills and exchange them
for paper Of banks Of other states to prevent
demand by the holders for specie. This
. ,hs truth absut the operation Of the sys-
ism.

TIE AsuBuRroN rREATY.-Mr. Webster
devoted Two days in the Senate 10 all elab-
orale defence Of the treaty, commonly called
the Ashburon, by which he procured ces-
son cf an extensive portion of the territory
of Maine TO the rapacous demands of Eng
land. The time is coming when this treaty
and the means by which its ratification was
procured will bo understood, and it will then
win for its protector the retributive indigna-
lion of a betrayed people. Webster is charg.
ed by Mr.. Ingersoll with practices, so
venal aud disgraceful, that if proved
against him should shut him ont from all ho-
nor and respect among his counirymen. Ii
appears doubtful, however, whether if Mr.
Webster was shown to be guilty of the infa-
nous conduct charged, there is any means
of reaching him. 1t would only be another
addition TO The ascertained corruption Of the
Of jain Tyler!

AUsrRA.-AS our commercial rslitlons
with this country arc becoming more and
more important. some accounts of lis presen
commercial state my b, interesting to those
engaged in foreign trade. Austria is yearly
exlendingis foreign trdda and lis commerce
with the United States, though small, is an
nually increasing. The Austrian Govern
ment is evidently disposed to encourage for
eign commerce, as may be inferred from the
fact that Trieste, her only seaport of any
importance, is free to all goods destined for
its consumption, and that of the adjoining
territory. Merchandise destined for the in
terror is subject TO the duties Of the Austrian
tariff; but the duties are very moderate
Shipping charges are also extremely reason
able. Great efforts are making, by means
of railroads, macadamized roads, and i'm
provemen,s in the navigation Of the rivers Of
the empire to develope the resources of ,hr
country, and increase its dnmesiic and for
eign commerce. A railroad from Trieste
10 liie Dtnub, is contemplated, thus shor-
lening the route from the Atlantic to iha
B ,ck Sea- The value of our exports TO
Trieste in lS42 WAS $sS4, ,795; and the
trade has been gradually increasing since
Our imports from that port during the same
year were $4l3,3l0.
An American writer Of great judgment
and ability, now in Vienna, speaks very en-
couragngly of internal and extornal com
melce of Austria, and of IFS growing trade with
the United States. He tn nks the prospec,
for an increasing denim for American pro-
ductions very encouraging to our merchants
and cotton planters. The principal articles
of export are grains, silks, wines, iurs, quick
silver, cinnabar, iron, lead, copper, brass,
li,harge, alum, &c. The articles of impor,
are. sugar, coffee, dye-sluffs, cotton goods,
cotton yarn, fish, and host of other artic-
les. Tine mernal commerce is very fou,-
shing; and when its extensive projected
railroad system, a p,rt of which is already
finished, is compesd, j, must not only be
greatly augmented, bu, also its foreign trade.

Jobs wealth, he desired the reader TO pause,
