American Railroad Iron.-The Phila-
delphia American says that there will be
sixty thousand tons of Railroad Iron man.
ufactured in this country during the present
year, which will be equal in quality 10 any
imported iron. The value of this quantity
at present selling prices will be upwards
OF four millions of dollars. The American
adds that Pennsylvania furnishes one half
of the Pig. and more than one half of the
Railroad Irou made in The United States.
- This imporlan, branch Of manufacture
is rapidly extending, as it is evident to
every one who has noticed the increase Of
rolling mills in various parts Of The country
especially in Pennsylvania. sg
d Following The Prescription.-Major
Freas. of the Germantown Telegraph, (by
the way. capital paper.) tells the follow
ing anecdoie, The moral Of which he SAYS,
is that people should never be encouraged
10 commit suicide.
ga very respectable German, of Phila-
delphia. some time ago, twice look lauda-
mum, at short intervals, apparently. with
the design 10 destroy his life but on both
occasions his. stomach was pumped out and
the man restored. The second time the
physician was called in he demonstrated
with the pretended suicide on the folly Of
of his conduct, and told him he did il only
to worry his poor wife. But that if he
really wanted to kill himself, he could do
it most effectually by blowing his brains
out with we'll charged pistol.-Thcre
would be no after.claps.
=. The surprise and modification of the
Doctor, however. were great, when about
two weeks after The wife again made her
appearance at the Office, excaiming,
Z. ''Well, Toclor, he's tone it-Joke's tone
IT."
"Done what 7" hastily inquired the
Doctor.
Ivy, he's tone shuss as you tolt him
{ he plow, his 'praines out mid pistol shus
now. and he's kilt dis ,ime!'' ,.&a

OPINION OF SIArEsNHS uroS rHs WAR Ours.
rios The all.impoItsat subject in the next
Congress will be Mexico aud the obtinuance o:
the war This will be made the issue. between
parties. Several great statesmen in and out of
Congress have already expressed their opinion
upon the subject. and the views OF others are
anxiously expected. A correspondent of the
Baltimore SUM- writing from Washington. com.
pares Mr.. Cslhoun's opinion with Mr.. Cl.y's.
he says:
The Calhoun men are coming here to propose
and advocate with great earnestness their pro.
jeet 10 define and defend boundary line. and
limit the operations Of the war TO the defence Of
that hue They would however. relinqnish
that policy for the sake Of adopting Mr. Clay's
project, provided it can be carried. Mr.. Clay is
no, in favor Of taking any territory, but that Of
Texas, and that is, in fact, the substance OF Mr.
Cslhorn's famous resolutions Of the last session.
against the father increase of non slavehold lding
territory.
do not see that there is any essential differ
encr Of views between Mr. Clay and Mr. Cal.
! honn. Mr.. Calhoun was opposed 10 the acqu
sition Of any territory except that to be embra.
ced in the Texas boundaries, and so is Mr.. Clay.
The only difference is, that Mr.. Calhoun goes TO
the RIO Granie, aud Nr Clay stops short al the
Nueces; that Mr.. Ca'honn would defend a
boundary line that would give MS California
tthough he deprecated :he annexation OF any free
terri,ory,) and Mr. Clay will not continue III.
war solitary hour for that object.
Abiding to the report that Mr.. Adam. intends
to advocate the annexation OF Mexico. he says
The opinions Of Mr. John @. Adams in regar'
TO the annexation of Texas are Of no great con
sequence. MIR. Adams will 60 for an exstion &
embarrass the administration, not to help it, an
will seareely take a. elevated . ground as tn
abolitionists generally. He Will merely try "
great constitutional point."to the amusement Q
the House and the delay ofpublie business
