DJThc erection of large Cotton Mill
has just been commenced at Cannelton, In
diana. The Corner stone was laid, few
days sncej with appropriate ceremonies. The
following remarks were made, on the occa-
sion, by Alexander NJ. McGregor, ESQ., of
| tiIis town, under whose direction, the Mill is
TO be constructed.
In reply to Mr.. Boyd, Mr.. McGreyor said /;
Sir II has oitener been my vocation TO
be a listener than to speak upon occasions
like the present; yet cannot permit the op-
portunty to pass without thanking you FOR the
n amer in which you have been pleased to
mention my name in connection with others
employed in erecting the Cannelon Cotton
Mil. Sir, it gives me pleasure 10 learn that
the building committee have that conf
dence in my competency TO erect this cdiScG
according TO the plans and specifications
handed me. 1t will be my constant care 10
merit their confidence and regard, and to lay
these foundation stoncs, now before you, deep
and true, that they may repose in security and
that the Xpersiructure to be reared thereon,
may rise, according to the plummet's law
its angles squared by the square of truth, and
the cement which is TO unilc its component
parts in one mass, may be spread with the
hand of fidelity and skill so that when the
whole is completed, and its grand proportions
seen, we may look back with pride on the
work of our united efforts.
Sir, in the course Of your remarks you
have referred 10 a system Of management
introduced by the Directors of this Company
by which all supplies for the prosecution OF
this work vii be promptly furnished. The
duty Of those Directors is an important one,
Our fate is in their hands. 1t is for them to
say what progress shall be made-whother
we shall drag slowly and unprof,ably along,
or the reverse. hope, cir, they will attend
10 that part of their duty, and | will answer
for the rest Let no " penny wise and pound
foolish" notions enter into their counsels but
let fair and judicous use be made Of theil
means and opportunities, and then all will be
well.
II ln conclusion, sir, let me announce to y)u
that the first stone Of the Canneton Cotton
Il Mill is now laid i'm the name Of God, in dn.
and ancient form, hoping that the All Seeing
Eye, that lookcth with complacency on al
laudablc undertakings, will guide and govern
all our actions, and preserve us in health and
strength during the erection Of this edifce

lRos HousEs-A writer, in tho April
Gates the substitution of iron houses Tor thos-
composed Of wood, brick or stone and gives
very many cogent reasons in support Of his
views. The first and most prominent one is
the greater cheapncss Of the iron tenement, a
fact certainly true Of England, and perhaps Of
the Atlantic States Of this country also. In
addition to this reason there are others Of less
force. Iron houses can be taken down, NOV
cd and put up again in new place, with
comparatively little cost and, when the
fashion Of their architecture has grown out of
date, or the fancy of The owner has changed
he can have them re-cast. Iron houses are
in no danger Of lightning, for the metal gradu-
ally attracts the electricity and conducts II
safely 10 the ground, thus preventing an cI-
ploson. Iron is susceptible of being made
into lighter forms than stone, brick or wood
hence the saving in the ground occupied by
the walls is very great. Iron, even when
rusting, is healthy. Iron makes a dricr house
than any other material IRON is fire proof
In short, the arguments in favor of iron hous-
cs appear TO prcpondora,e over those IN favor
of tcncments of brick o. stone and, unless We
mistake, will, very soon lead to the introduce
ton of dwellings, and stores constructed of this
metal.

During the p,cscnt exciting times of sitting

not be amiss to give you for your Interesting
paper few Of the details connected with the
above. On the 10th, the command OF Brcvct
Col. Alexander, Sd infantry, composed OF four
companies of his regiment, and two companies
of artillery, the third rcgiment,) under the
command of Brcyet Major Kendrlck, lett this
post for New Mexico. Under the protection
of this escort, Colonel Calhoun, Indian Agent
with his family were placed. On tho 18th,
Capt. Kerr, 2d Dragons with his company le;t
as escort to Colonel Collier, collector for San
Francisco This entire command made about
thirty five miles, when an express was dis
matched with an order for it 10 there avail the
arrival of Gen. Brooke and staff under orders
for New Mexico. The Gen. has been daily
expected at this post, but tbs late disaster
among the steamboats, at your leevo has, 1t Is
supposed, been the cause Of his delay. The
Rifle Regiment left on the 10th for their des-
tiuation on the Oregon route; the regiment
has been frequently heard from since their de-
parture, and all were getting along well, sever
al Of tho officers having their families along
with them.

, Tuesday, June l2th, ls49,
w. H. CRANsToN, ESQ,
Sir II notice in this mornings Neics some
remarks in regard to the celebration on the
Fourth Of July. You say the shop-keepers
will find the difference you have reference,
or had reference, to the Rum shop-keepers.-
Now, sir, do you think it amiss on account of
the small appropriation, or are you one Of
Runs advocates Please let us know
Yours, TEMPERANCE.
We received the above spicy and very mod
est communication through the Post Office,
and will endeavorr to enlighten the authors
foggy mind on tho subject When we spoke
of the small appropriation, we stated that in
>pecunary point Of view 1t would operate un-
favoraby to the store keepers of Newport, in
asmuch as very many of our own people would
90 to other places, and necessarily spend con-
siderable money; and also because we should
lose the custom Of those who would come
here if we had suitable celebration. This
is precisely what we said, and fully expressed
our meaning. We presume that on that day
many other things would be purchased besides
Rum. "Temepcrance' has tho cool impu-
dence to tell us that we refer cd to Rum.-
We have no very enthusiastic feeling on that
subject, either way VIC should be very glad
il all men were temperate, and are willing to
do our full portion of the labor 10 accomplish
such a result. But Temperance, as regards
the excessive use of intoxicating liquors, is
but one of the evils Of the age. If men and
women would learn to be temperate in the ex'
ercise of their Shiny tongues g. It wild reform
ers would make as strenuous efforts TO effect
this most desirable improvement in society, as
they do TO prevent the use of rum, we think
that their labor would be full as ptaisworthy,
and quite as acceptable to God.
Many of the most ardent relormcrs OF the
day arc preaching Their doctrines at every cor
ner, aud praying God for his help, aId like
the Pharisec Of old thanking Him that frey
are not like other men, while at the same
time, they are vcy tta!ucing the character
of a ncighbor, an! quoting their corsccnccs
by the reflection that they arc rendering their
Maker very acceptable homage They ought
10 know that Hc requires no such raenlal and
contemplate service o. them, aud that such
conduct will surely merit and receive Ills
righteous condemnation.

A SINGULAR CAsE.-The Portland Adver-
tiser says that gentlemanly looking man has
been, during the last week, in tha, city, doing
large business in stealing. His mode OF
operation .$as TO enter respectable dwellings
during such hours in the forenoon as the in
mates would be either absent or employed TO
getting ready the meals, in the Kitchen lie
would walk up stairs and open, with skele-
ton keys, bureaus, drawers, trunks, S5., take
from them whatever waa of value, such as
watches, brcastpins, necklaces, money, &c
fmet by any Of the inmates, either in enter
ing or retiring, he would present letter and
inquire if Mr.. Clarke lived there. Several
houses have thus been visited by him, and
many valuable articles stolen ,hcrefrom. On
Saturday last, Mr.. Mooney, the well known
Irish Vocalist, visited Portland for the purpose
of giving Concert on Monday evening 1t
so happened that he had occasion to call on a
gentleman by the namo of Clark and not
knowing the house in which he lived, he
made enquiry for Mr. Clark at several places
but without finding him, then went back to
Mr.. Cartons, where he was staying. Pres
emily a''crowd collected around the door and
raised quite ,umult Mr.. Mooney uncon-
scious of the causes that had given rise TO it,
was presently arrested by the Sheriff. The
crowd outside was eager to catch a glimpse
of the mysterious stranger who had been
searching for Mr.. Clark and rinihg ladies'
caskets. The mistake was not cleared up un-
ii, tho Mayor arrived, with whom Mr.. Moon
cy had had como correspondence. Satsfac.
tory explanations we're made, apologies were
offered and the crowd dispersed.
