Ncssrs Good S Moore gives notice through the Jacksonville Republican that they have now in complete operation a full set of Iron Works. The Mobile Her. ald, in noticing this improvement ol home industry says ''the Mills and ma chinery are on scale sufficient extensive to enable them to i'll promptly all orders for bar iron, hollowware, mill-irons, stoves,&c. It is said the bar-iron made at these works is of the best quality, and is sold at 5 cents per ID. where lot oi 100 lbs or more is taken. The hollow warathey cast is also of superior quality, and finish, and in regard to other dcscrip- lions of work, we may mention that some months since we saw from their foundery among other mill irons shipping to Texas, Hotchkiss' vertical water-wheel, which in every respect was equal to sinilar cas- tings from the oldest and best founderies in the country.
 "This enterprise is the more worthy of notice from the fact that it is located in a section of the state comparatively new. Benton county is portion of the ierrito- y acquired from the Creek Indians, in which but few ''settlcments" were formed prior to 1885, and it was at q much later period before any thing was thought of beyond planting operations. Other es- tablishments of the kind will 10 doubt ra. pidly succeed, as the county is rich in iron ore and other minerals, and affords an abundant supply of water power.
 ''ln other sections also. on the Coosa river and its tributaries, large capital will in a few years invested in iron works and manufactorics. The whole region, in fact, on the upper waters of the Talla- poosa and Coosa is admirably adapted to mining manufacturing, &c., and will at no distant day be occupied by an nduatri- ous and enterprising population. Farther west, on the Cahawba and Warrior riv- CTS, equal or superior facilities exist, and already number of forges-on rather a small scale it is true-are at work and turn out iron ot an excellent quality. A company, we understand, is now forming to commence extensive operations on the former stream. An exploration was recently made by a gentleman of high scientific attainmenfs, and bed of iron ore found of surpassing richness, convent ent to water power and large flat boat navigation. The gentlemen brought home with him specimens of the ore and wrought iron which prove the bed to be immensely valuable.
 "A report, we learn, will soon be ready forthe press, in which full and satisiacto- " details will be given of the extent and productiveness of the ore, water power, agricultural resources ot the region, health, &c.
 TIE LATE MR. 7. ANDREWS We learn that the fate of this unfortunate gentleman was aseertained yesterday The body ofa white man in far advan- ced state of decomposition was picked up early in the morning opposite the convent, in the Third Municipality, and coroner's inquest forthwith held on it, when the usuA verdict according to the facts was rendered.

ROCKFORD, Coosa county, Ala,
 May 6. IS4S.


 Mr. Hardy: You may say to the read CTS of the " State Guard" that the first Monday in May was the day fixed by law, for the Court of Revenue & Roads Co district the county, and appoint the vari- ous assessors of taxes for the present year, The minutes of that Court shew that the whole number of Commissioners have resigned, and that no one was present but the Judge consequently no business could be legally transacted, he having no author ity to act without quorum. The ques- ton arises here as to what will be done It is believed that neither the Judge Of the County Court or the Governor has the au- thority, under the law, to appoint board of Commissioners, and admitting that they arc clothed with the power, have seri- oIs doubts whether any one, who is ca- pablo, can be prevailed on to serve; nciih. CT do believe that suitable men can be selected to become candidates 10 i'll those offices at the next general election. The objections urged against serving as a Commissioner are, as learn, that it is an unthanlSful office, and one of grcatrespon- sibility with little or no pay; and that the Revenue law is odious and unpopular with a large majority ofthe people, &c. The present state of things appears to savor strongly of "repmliation. God forbid that any portion of our proud State should wink at a toleration of a doctrine so odi- ous l hope you will caution the good people of our county to beware of the evil that will result from a course likethis, and call upon them individually and collectively to aid in the proper administration of the law. Will they do sol We shall see.

Coosa County and rhe Tax Law.

COOsa County and ihe Fax Law.
 We publish in another column a com munication under the signature of "Nimrod," on the state of affairs in Coosa county, which we regret to see very much. Even if the Tax Law is tedious and un- popular" we sec no reason why men can not serve as Commissioners, as the re- sponsbilities incumbent upon Commis- sioners are not very great, if they were disposed to do their duty. The law re- quires the board of Commissioners to meet and district the county, and on fail ure to do so, under a fine of not more than 5000 or less than $100, which is the only responsibility or liability that Commissioners are under, further than the interests of the people of the county for which Commissioners may preside.- The districting of the county is but little trouble, and after this is done, we know of no other great objection that men could have, not to act as Commissioners. We do hope that four citizens of Coosa can be fonnd who will act as Commissioners, district the county, and not let the first step of repudiation be made in Coosa county, from feeling of the grossest in- dolence and petty spite. Let the county be districted and we are confident that there are men in the county who will act out the letter of the law, both as asses sors and collectors of taxes.
 We do not agree with our correspon- dent as to the Judge of the County Court not being clothed with power to appoint Commissioners, for he undoubtedly has that power, and we arc in hopes that he will immediately and continue to exercise that perogative, until men can be found in the county to act as Commissioners. We do hope the citizens of the county will properly investigate this important matter, and let Coosa pay her quota towards the extinguishment of the public debt. Even if the law should not be approvable to all, let every effort be made to carry out the intentions of the law, and not let repudi- ation be forced upon our proud State, by a default on the part of any county failing 10 act cut fully the law. The present law Is the only one upon which we have to re- ly for the revenue to extinguish the public debt, and pay the current expenses of cur State Government and it does seem to us, that every man who has the least feel Eng for the States welfare will not hesi- tate to aid in the execution of law of So important nature. So far as we. have been able 10 ascertain, in the several coun- ties throughout the State the Commission CTS have carried out the law. by district ing, appointing the assessors and colec- tors, and we sec no cause why the good old democratic county of Coosa should place herself in such a position as to re- ceive the taunts and slurs of the whigs, as she undoubtedly will if she fails to carry out the law. Let US carry ont the law fl possible, and if it should prove inpracti- cable, let us select men for Legislators, at the next election, pledged to remedy the evil, if any is found to exist.

N The news from Mexico up to the 20th of April has been received, Mir. Se- vier arrived at the City of Mexico, on the 18th ult., but from all accounts, it is gen erally supposed that the Mexican Con- gress will not assemble soon, and at nc time will be more than mere quorum assemble. Being such opposition to the treaty from many of those who will meet. renders it doubtful whether the peace patty will take the responsibility ot acting upon the matter; consequently, we think the day of peace between the United States and Mexico, are distant. Mir. Sevier, oi course, will remain in the city of Mexico until, something or somebody of men can be found to negotiate with.
