Iron und SteeL-At a conversational NEE
ting in Newark, New Jersey, the subject Of
iron was introduced. Professor Mapes said
that cast iron examined with the microscope
was found 10 be composed of alternate parti-
Giles OF carbon and iron, and that it may be ca.
silly melted because the heat is carried from
particle to particle with rapidly, but wrought
iron is without the carbon, and no fire on earth
can melt it, though it can be heated to mel
ting heat, and wasted away by it. Cast iron
and cast steel are composed Of similar sub
stances, but they are chemically combined in
steel and naturally in the iron. The peculi-
arity Of maIIeable iron is that it is capable of
bending without breaking, and it may be made
by surrounding cast iron with pre-oxide Of
iron which extracts the carbon. Iron at a red
heat has strong affinity for oxygen, and will
waste away very rapidly, which it shows in
the scales at blacksmith's forge. Iron in a
state of rdst also rusts very rapidly; hence a
piec. Of iron laid on a railroad track will soon
rust when the rail, which is constantly used,
will not. Bars Of iron may be preserved from
rust by frequently knocking them upon the
end. Two pieces cannot be welded together
unless the oxygen is removed, and the surfa-
ces come in contact. In welding axes they nse
borax to clean out the oxyde. Oxydatlon
takes place much more rapidly than is sup
posed, and it was thought that it would hap
pen in the thousandlh part of a second, for ii a
piece of steel be laid over mercary, and then
broken by one blow from hammer, which
drives the broken ends into the mercury at the
same moment, they will not be touched by the
! mercury, showing that they oxyuized the in
slant they were broken; for if the steel be
broken under the mercury. the ends will be
coated with it. The English boiler iron is
never bent at right angles, as with US, bn
they place the edges of two pieces together
and then fas,en them by corner piece and
two rows of rivets. II the least portion Of
sulphur is combined with iron, it becomes in
capable of torsion, and if any phosphorus, il
becomes brittle. Holes in cast iron kettles
are now mended by pouring melted meta
through the hole, the edges Of which become
fused, and finally adhere. Case hardening i:
the conversion of the surface into steel, which
is effected by surrounding it with carbon wher
the surface takes up portion and becomes
steel. A hard spot in iron may be rendered
soft enough 10 cut by covering it with th'
prussite Of potash and heating. membe
stated that sai8ratus would answer the same
purpose.
Professor Mapes stated that the Novelty
Works. in N. York. had commenced making
small boats of iron, which were lighter ant

much less room also. and cannot sink on &C
count of their containing air vessels. The,

Florida Cotton Crop The weather has
been very unpromising the present week
indeed for the last three months--and planters
speak discouragingly of the prospects of the
cotton crop-the others being abundant. No
fears are apprehended of the caterpillar, al
though there are signs of their approach, but
the season is so far advanced that not as much
evil as ordinarily could be inflicted by them
should they now come. The weed is chan
ging its color, and shedding aarmingly. This
is in consequence of the continued rains W hicb
are drenching every section of the State An
intelligent and experienced planter assured us
two days since, that from all he could see and
learn, it was his opinion that the present crop
would fall below that of the last year This
appers to be the general belief. We hear of
little cotton picking in this region. In truth,
this will be out of the question until we have
dry weather. For the last four or five days
there has been nothing but rain, rain, rain,
with very little appearance of clearing up
The weather. wise insist that the September
gale is near upon US, and really there is strong
indication of it, as we have had within a day
or two several severe putfs of wind, which
bring forcibly to mind the destructive blows
of bygone years.

FROM TEXAS.

The steamship Yatch, Captain Crane, arri
we'd yesterday, from Galveston. She brought
US files of papers to the goth ult The prin.
cipal items of news which we find in them
are the following, which we take from the
Austin Democrat of the 21st ult.
Five companies of Col. Hays new regiment
left St. Antonio for Mier on Friday, the 9th
inst. The companies of Capts. Highsmith
and Gillett, are the only ones of the regiment
left on our frontier The former is stationed
for the present at Fredericksburg, and we are
informed that the latter is to be placed at some
point on or near the Neuces, not vet designa-
ted. 1t. Col Bell is now in command of the
remaining frontier forces.
Important neus from the Cdmdaches Mr..
Gooch, of Capt Grumbles company of Ran
gers, arrived in this place yesterday, direct
from fredericksburg He states that Santa
Annals party of Camanches came into Freder-
icksburg on Saturday, the 14th inst and on
Sunday held a talk with Capt Grumbles-
Santa Anna stated that the reason of his leav-
ing his hunting grounds in the manner he did
was fear that the Americans had some de-
sign of a hostile character. He was led to
this belief by the appearance at Fredericks-
burg OF the three companies of Rangers, which
were recently posted in that vicinity. He
knew that the Americans suspected his tribe
of having taken or killed the four men of
Hays party some time since, and thought it
prudent to take off the women land children,
so that they would be safe in case there should
be any troubles with the whites So soon as
he had removed the women and children to a
place of security, he fastened to Fredericks-
burg, in order to explain to Maj. Neighbors,
if he should find him there, the cause of his
sudden departure He regretted very much
that Maj Neighbors had left before his arri-
val, and stated that he would hasten to the
Trading house on the Brazos, where he was
told that Neighbors had gone He informed
Capt. Grumbles that the four men of the sur
veying party were taken, and subsequently
killed by the Wacoes, and that he was pres
emf at distance over their scaIps. He init
mated the great necessity OF some step being
taken by the Americans to put stop to the
deprepations of the Wacoes and avowed his
determination of causing them to he killed by
his own tribe, if the whites should fail to act
in the matter Immediately, inasmuch as the
depredations committed by them were attribu
ted to Camanches. He professed the SINGER
est friendship towards the Americans, and ex
pressed desire TO continue friendly. He ha:
recently been made Head Chief of all the band:
of Cana inches that are in the habit of hunting
on our border, and says he will. as far as pos
sble, preserve peace with our people.

she mean? To some, pleasant dress would
