steps rs they suppose calculated to arrest the
aggressive movement Of the North. The at
tempt, therefore, Of the fnteltigencer to make
South Carolina responsible for this IN ovement,
is one of those fimsy articles, which nothing
but the highest degree of elfrontery could have
inspired them to attempt. They know that
there is with some minds u prejudice against
South Carolina, and they expect by this often
tried and now stale expedent to create oppos-
ton to the movement.
1t is Well known that the manufacturing and
business classes of the North are alarmed at
the prospects of these Southern movements,
which will at once give the South greater indie
pendence of the North. And it is also true that
the antislavery agitators are dreadfully alarmed,
seeing that these movements, if carried out,
will be the means of crushing them at home, by
arraying Northern cupidity against abolition
1t is therefore that the Lleltigencer now, not
less the organ Of the anti-slavery feeling at the
North than it has always been Of the money and
tariff interest of that section, is showing these
signs Of alarm, and is rcsorting to its old de-
vices of Misrepresentation. 1t fears that the in.
dustrial interests of that section of which it has
so long been the organ, will take HARM Above
all, it apprehends that the South will in this way
be able to resist successfully the schemes of the
Northern Free-soilers and to escape from that
destination which it and its co-laborers in the
cause of gradua! abolition, are preparing for her
We speak of gradual abolition to designate the
platform which has been adopted by THADDEUs
STEVENS, Mr.. CLAY, and the InteNigencer, viz:
non-extenson Of slavery, till the increase of slaves
in the present States shall render emancipation
necessary. This, though slower process, is
worse than that Of the GARRISON school, mas
much rs it would be now less difficult for the
negroes, than with twice or thrice that number
on the same area. This slow system, as every
body sees, by surrounding the South with free
territory, would, by preventing extension, as
ehcctually crush her as do the coils of the boa
constructor the victim it has grasped After the
operation she would be second st. DOMINGO
The lnteNlgencer too, in the same spirit
classes these laws with that of Vermont nullify-
ing the Fugitive slave law The last is directly
unconstitutional, while these are clearly within
the Constitution. Such laws exist in almost all
of the States, and ii, North Carolina, which
seems most forward in the movement, such
law, Of long standing, has been sustained by
the decision Of the Supreme Court

This amount, deducted from the total
cost of the new work, five hundred and
forty-nine thousand and thirty-eight dollars
will leave the actual cost of the new work,
| only ,three hundred and forty-thousand
eight hundred and thirty-seven dollars
The interest on this sum, at six per cent,
is twenty thousand six hundred and ninety
dollars, while the annual saving in the ex-
penses, it has been shown, would be thir-
ty-nine thousand four hundred and seven
dollars and twenty five cents, thus making
a clear saving of eighteen thousand seven
hundred and seventeen dollars and twenty
five cents annually, over and above the
interest on the cost Of making the propos-
ed Improvement. This when added to

JUSTICE.
InSurrectiOn in SerYia.

All reports in regard to this seem TO be
carefully suppressed by the Austrian pa
pers; but according to the Breslau Ga
zette, most grave and omnious intelligence
has been received at Vienna, intelligence
showing the insufficiency of the Russian
recipe for pacifying country, though fet-
tered by Austrian woman-foggers 1t is
stated that at Salbaugh, in the Tyrol, an
attempt to disarm the National Guard
was resisted, and the regular troops were
repulsed. In the country of the Slovacks
the greatest animosity exists against the
newly constituted gendarmerie. In Seryia
military insurrection has broken out, in
consequence of an attempt to reduce the
pay of the troops, and several lives were
lost. 1t is said that the Servians and
Croats having discovered how they have
been deceived by the Austrian Govern
ment, are endeavoring to enter into some
arrangement with the Magyars whom they
had assisted Austria to crush; and mill
tary outbreak in Servia will, it is said, be
the signal for the rising of the Czecha IN
Bohemia. 1t is said that 10000 Honveds
are to be sent TO reinforce the Austrian
army in Italy, and the policy of the move
ment is more than doubted, as the men
are likely TO seize the first opportunity o
turning their arms against the Govern
ment. Marshal Radetzsky is represented
as dissatisfied with the comparative ne

whilst honors have been showered in pro
fusion on the army of Hungary, which

Diekersun,s Process Of Making Iron.

The Jerseyman gives the following de-
scripuon of the new process of making
iron recently invented by Mr.. Alexander
Dickerson, of Newark, TO which we re.
ferred some days ago. Mr.. DIS. expert
ments have been conducted during year
past al a forge near Dover:
''The fire is placed at the end, and IN
der horizontal bed Of fire brick some l.
or Is feet In length-the fire passing
through to the other extremity. In the
centre, and over the bed, is erected dou-
ble cylinder, which is filled with crushed
ore and pulveriZed anthracite coal. The
intense flame surrounds the cylinder, as
also passes through the centre by the inner
cylinder, which eradicates the oxygen and
all other impurities, without the presence
of atmospheric air. Being thus prepared,
the ore gradually melts and descends 10
the hearth where il first comes in contact
with the fire, which destroys the remain
der of the pulverized coal by frequent stir
ring, and the iron is thus partially formed.
From this hearth it is thrown TO another
about inches lower than the first, where
il is worked into balls of about 90 pounds
amid the same sheet of fire, and in few
minutes the ball is Withdrawn and put
under the hammer to putt In shape, which
concludes the process.
This process seems simple and unsatis-
factory, but 1t has been so long tested IN
the presence of experienced iron manufac-
turers, that every doubt of its success has
vanished, and we understand that as soon
as Mr.. Dickerson obtains his papers, sew
eral forges will be SO remodeiled as 10
abandon the old method of iron manufac-
turing and adopt Mr.. Dickerson's.
The saving of fuel is but small item
in the value of this invention; ii is the sl-
perior quality Of the iron and its cheap
ness, in which the greatest value consists
