pittsburg Copper Works.

A copper rolling mill, the first in the United
States, has been erected by Mcssrs. &. G.. Husscy
& Co. at Pittsburg. The building is eighty by one
hundred feet-the boiler stack is seventy five feet
high, and seventeen feet in diameter at the base
the furnace stack is forty feet high. The driving
wheel OF the powerful engine ia oycrsixeen feet in
diameter, and drives the ny-wheel at the rate OF
ninety six revolutions per minute.
The Gazette says masses of pure copper, in Jumps
which are technically termed cakcs, are put into
the furnace and treated in the same manner Is
done in iron rolling mills
They are then brought ought and rolled into
sheets of brazicr's copper, &c. The copper, alter
il comes from under the rollers is covered with an
oxide and resembles sheet iron. Ii is then puinto
a vat Of water, mixed with a small portion Of "a l.
ammoniac, and comes out bright and shining.
The copper is OF the beat quality, and Is used by
the Government in the man ufacturc of cannon.
The Gill Mining Company have also smelling
works which can turn out $ 1900 worth Of copper
ingots per day. In the copper sold by thi, cstab-
lishmont last year over 80 900 worth Of sill
yer, but the trouble and expense Of separating II
from the copper was so great that II was not done
One object We have in noticing these improve
mcnts Is, to call tho attention of citizens and capt.
talists TO the advantages which Cleveland offers for
similar works. IL is much easier of access from
the mineral regions Of Lake Superior than Pitts-
burg-the facilities for reaching eastern markets
in favor Of Clcvoland-and when the railroads
now under contract are completed, will be still
more so.
With all tho advantages which location, climate,
and facilities Of shipment can give us, why is not
effort made TO secure some Of those great manu-
featuring interests for Cleveland? The sound oil
the loom, the forge, and the anvil should and VIC
hope will, be heard in every quarter Of the forest
city.

Correspondence If tls Ohio Statesman.
From Fort Lsramie-Abandonmc Of
Fort Hall.
FoRr LAsAmIE, July let, 1850.

FoRT LARAMrE, July let, 1850.
The express from Oregon, with dispatches from
Major Sandcrson, arrived here last evening. II
appears that Fort Hall has been abandoned. The
troops left that post the 10th of May, taking up
the line Of march for the Dallas. This is
said to have been made for the want of provisions.
The supply train intended for Fort Hall will be
stopped at this fort, also the recruits under Lieut..
Mcclure for Fort Hail.
The breaking up Of that post, even temporarily,
will be very great disappointment 10 the many
thousand cmigrants that have taken that route for
the mines. IL IL not little strange that a com
mand Of less than one hundred men could not have
been subssted at Fort Hall until the regular sup
ply train arrived from the States?
The Mormon city s about eighty miles from
Fort Hall. Flour Is only Sl2 per hundred, and
beef So. Mr.. Livingston, merchant ftom the
Salt Lake, reported, when he came down this
spring, that there was an abundance Of Hour, beef,
corn, and all kinds Of vegetables, at the Salt
Bake-cnough 20 supply all elnigtants that went
that way TO the mincs.
There has been great deal Of sickness on the
route among the emgrants, and a great many
deaths-over two hundred have been registered
will furnish you with list by our regular mail. A
Mr.. Becc her, elderly gentleman from Wooster,
Ohio, died at this fort last week.
There are nj this time fourteen emigrants sick in
the hospital; four died in ono day last week. The
troops are remarkably healthy The surgeon OF
the post reports that the sickness among the emf
ness 10 drinking so much bad water from the many
sues on the plains.

up TO last evening, il rs follows 366l5 men, 73i

Local Matters.

REfoRM-Thc several Fire Companies OF this
city, we arc informed are about to adopt all the
means within their power 10 prevent the recurrence
oil the scenes Of violence and riots have lately
witncsscd and in the National Intelhgenco of yes
terday morning notice appeared requesting "the
citizens Of the First Ward to meet ut the Union
Engine House that evening, for the purpose of
celebrating upon the propriety and necessity OF
appealing to the corporate authorities for the pur-
pose Of enactng such laws as will ensure future
peace and good order, by the suppression of riots
and the assembages of colored people at night, and
the riotous sssemblages Of boys and the establish
ment Of sufficient police to carry such laws az are
now in existence, and may hereafter be enacted,
into full effect" We we're unable TO learn last
night what action was taken by this meeting.
There those who think that we dwell too
much upon this topic, and that the good name OF
Washington may be affected by our frequent re-
currcnce to IT, We do not think with them, and
will not refrain from comment upon the subject.
The fame of Washington is dear to us, but so also
are IN peace and welfare; and while rank abuses
exist we will cry out against them. The evils Of
which VIC complain are Of recent origin, and there
fore may be the more readily suppressed. We be-
lieve that the present is the crisis, and that the
permanent triumph Of law and order or Of the mob.
ocracy is now to be achieved; and thus believing,
we arc determined to perform our duty in good
faith.
We shall, probably in our next, present some
suggestions respecting city reform, to which VIC
invite the consideration Of our readers; but we
would here remark that, welded TO no schemes cx-
cept 80 far they will give assurance Of salutary
REFORM we will with pleasure receive and consider
the views Of such Of our fellow. citizens may ia.

The Smith m faNpr the Union

The danger threatening the American Union
has never been more imminent than at tue present
moment The fanaticism of abolitonism, and the
madness of southern chivalry are not now so fear
ful as the sectional spirit which begins 10 pervadc
the conservative portion Of Congress. IL was ex-
pected by all that the sudden death OF General
Taylor would have awed both houses OF Congress
into silence, and have shut down the hoodgatcs
upon incorporate discussion, which has 80 long
embarrassed useful legislation, and sickened the
heart Of the nation by its display of peurile abstrnc
tons and unnatural hostility. Acknowledging the
danger to our Union from prolonged agitation OF a
question arraying the North and South in hostility
men claiming to be patriots, and pretending that
they represent the people, continue to wrangle over
impracticsblc schemes, daily increasing alienation
Of feeling, and strengthening sectional interes u
and sectional jealouses until the mind can scarce
ly foresce the dreadful consequences which may
follow TO the country and TO freedom. Congress is
the cause Of the evil which threatens. The people
have little sympathy with the fiery agitators. Tho
masses desire the settlement of the vexcd question
They love the Union. They will maintain IT,
South Carolina may raise the black flag OF disunor,
and call upon her sister saycbolding States TO rally
under it's gloomy fOlds, under the prctence OF de-
Tending southern rights but there will be no an
swering signal, no gathering of enthusiast hosts.
We claim Louisiana as emphatically devoted "a
the Union. In the patriotic language OF the New
Orleans Couricr-the standard bearer OF Louisiana
Democracy--we "should like these men Tin Con-
gress and out of it) who dare threaten the with
drawal of the South from the Union in case of the
failure OF their plans Tor her benefit TO tell US ~ha
they mean by the South" IL would be well to define
it's boundaries they understand the word Wher
they talk of the spread Of their principles, we trus
they keep Louisiana out of view. Should they thiul
proper to come this way, TO send their emissa-
RIGS TO preach their traitorous doctrines would
advise them, in the most friendly manner, TO bring
safety jackets or cork wings along with them, fn
most probably they would find such articles of son
use before they travelled halfa mile from the Mis-
sissippi river The people of Louisiana will neve
give their consent to break up the Union for chi
rnera of madman's imagination, n scheme o
fsncifu advantages, contrived by false traitor
Show some real grievance unredrosscd, with nj
reasonable prospect of redress, and the people o
Louisiana will not be found in the Of the chiv
airy in asserting and defending their rights. Blu
they will not be seduced into treason by sophisca
reasoning which they cannot comprehend, and M
one can comprehend who wishes well to bis coun
try. The words of Old Hickory still sound in thu
cars of our fellow citizens "The Union OF th
States--it MUST and SHALL be preserved"

Extract of q letter dated

GESEvA, July 81, 1880
No political event occasioned more Joy in
any country than the arrival at Berne, few days
since, of Mr.. Dudley Mann, the American envoy
to Switzerland. The whole world mean the re-
publican word-wil acknowledge its obligations
10 General Taylor and his Cabinet for having ey-
tended the hand of friendship to this old republic
at a time when 1t was menaccd on account OF its
inlexible devotion TO principle by the malignant
rcactionary powers of Europe. General Taylor, in
this pacific demonstration, intmates distinctly
enough TO the old partitoning allies OF Poland and
the inonarchical Jcsuits who rule France, that,
although his country does not intermeddle in the
Internal affairs of foreign States, yet if they attempt
to obliterate Switzerland, because like America shc
s freedoms asylum, the act will be regarded by
him one intended to operate in behalf of the
subversion of liberty elsewhere.
Rely upon it America, by this procedure, and the
bold stand which che assumed in relation to Hun
garian independence, the particulars of which have
Just been published, and arc spreading like wild fire
through continental Europe, will check more eIec-
tualy the progress of the kossac's war horse than
any resistance which any European State is prepare
or disposed TO offer Prohting by the consummate
errors which they committed In embracing inn
practicable Democratic notions, the Republicans OF
Europe, with increased admiration for the United
States, will become like their citizens and the cIi-
zens OF old Switzerland, practical temperate Re
publicans, and roll back the bail of reaction until
they that which they lost last year by their
wildness. Socialism is expiring, day by day,
wherever it exists, under the lights which Amerl-
can example Is shedding over central Europe
France will again embrace her preserver, her UNI
compromising Republican son, Cavniguac, and
afterwards enter upon of usefulness TO her
self Germany, Italy, and Hungary, will soon af
forwards rise again.
America deserves the choicest blessings of Hea-
ven, such she already enjoys. She will, fear
not, continue TO receive them, and speedily assume
the position assigned her the recognised he'd OF
civilized nations.
1t is understood that negotiations have been al
ready commenced at Borne, for the conclusion Of a
treaty of commerce, &C., &c, between the two
countries.
