The Pig Iron market continues quiet and since
our report of the 2lst inst, we have heard of no
transactioRto any extent. In spite ofihc apparent
languor, however, the consumption is greatly on
the increase; and shipments which ut the end Of
April. $4,000 tons in excess of corresponding
months Of las; year, now show an increase of up
wards OF 20 900 tons.
For speculative purchases. the market has nf.
forded for some time no margin,-hence in some
measure the dull tone /; but the stocks in commits
sioners hands, occupied with the regular and in
creasing demand, lead to believe that the OPP
por,unity for buying cheaply has not been wholly
neglected by those who require pig iron for Their
own
Prices during the past week have undergone nc
change. though makers rates somewhat easier
Our quotations are as follows:

uniorists. They are not the men for a
great cxigency. their courage fails them IN
the crisis. their love cvaporates in anordeal.
We want men with the spirit Of noble old
Harry Clay. who IL the ship Of State were
wrecked, would cling to its last floating
fragment, not to save himself, but it. I've
want men Of thes sense ofduty Of Fill
more, the broad deep and untirlng patriot
ism Of Webster, the energy and enthu
siasm Of Foote, the self devotion Of Dick
inson, the calm practical craftsmanship Of
Buchanan. These all gave the influence Of
their positions, the powers Of their intellect,
and the ardent zeal of their natures to the
compromise measures. They believed that
the fate of the country and the destines of
our people hung upon theirpassage. Their
hands, their hopes and hearts were all in the
work. By the blessing Of Providence, they
succeeded and, as we verify believe, saved
the country.
1t is for the people Of Campbell and
this Congressional district, to say whether
they approve or disapprovc, the labors of
these great men. If they disapprove them,
let them send backto Congress Mr.. Bocock,
who was openly and warmly hostile to the
compromise. and the country will have their
judgment Of condemnation. If they ap-
prove them, let them elect Col. Boiling,
who has been the uniform and jealous ad
vocatc and defender of the compromise,
and the country will have their judgment
ofapprovnl. The issue is before them,
let them meet II as candid and fearless men,
without regard TO party or personal feel
ing, in the only possible way, by which they
can make known their opinions.

Railroad Convention,

We call attention to the proceedings in
another column, of the friends Of the Va. &
Tennessee Railroad. 1t will be seen that
Convention is proposed to be holden at
Abingdon, and that more general and ex-
tended movement in behalf Of the measure,
than has yet taken place, is contemplated.
We pledge the cordial cooperation of the
friends Of the work in this section, with
those of the Southwest, and hope that the
deliberations ofthe Convention may be pro-
ductlve of increased zeal and enlarged
means, and that the great enterprise which
they and we have so much at heart, may
have every impeachment to its speedy com
petion, removed

S''Good Mercantile Braads."
f"Frce on Board"
With these prices for foreign iron, the
production Of the furnaces, FORCES and
rolling mills Of the United States must
continue to diminish, and as a necessary
consequence, the English manufacturer Of
this great essential article will speedily
have the supply ofall the IRON tie Atlantic
States shall require. Then prices will
advance, and the duties, under our present
admirable tariff laws, will be greater and
greater as the prices rise. When this
state of things shall come about the princi-
pal consumers of Iron, Ship-builders and
Railway corporations, will, we trust, uil-
derstand that their true interests would
have been better promoted, by the passage
of the bill Of the last session Of Congress,
giving a moderate duty on iron-such a
duty. as would have enabled the domestic
producer to have kept in check the pro-
ducers of foreign Iron, who will first stock
the country with low-priced and bad iron,
and then when the home producers are
all broken up, continue 10 furnish the same
inferior article at high prices. This is the
game England has been playing for hun

whom she has had any commerce, il

A few days since we called attention to
the very great increase in the the receipt
of tolls on the Erie Canal, in 1851, as COM
pared with 1850 We invite the readers at
tention to the foregoing statement as show
ing that this increase was not only maintain
cd, but was augmented in the End week of
July. Wcbeg that it may be recollecied,
that this wonderful increase in receipts from
tolls, takes place, nnder a tariff rcduccd p

That any should have the hardihood to
make such assertions in the face of such in
controver,ible evidence, is strange indeed.
We cannot but bclieve,that those who con-
'inue to impose high tolls on the products
OF labour,arc dong great injuryto the cause
of Internal Improvement, and the progress
and development of the country.

DANIEL WEBsrER's WORKS IN SEVEN
NoLuMEs.-A Boston correspondent Of tho
New York Express writes as follows:
| have seen to-doy, tho frs, volume Of
the miscellaneous speeches of Mr.. Webster,
as edited by Mr.. Everett and now in tho
course Of publication by Liitell & Brown.
Of Cambridge. The first two volumes, Of
FIVE or six hundred pages each, are print
ed, and are to be followed by three volumes
Of Mr.. Webster's speeches in Congress.
and these again by three volumes Of dip
lomniic correspondence and other matter
All these volumes arc accompanied by
notes, some by Mr.. Webster and some by
Mr.. Everett, and they will make work
alike creditable 10 the politics, the lirera-
tnrc, and the history Of the government,
during the ihiry-Gvc or forty years in
which Mr. Webster has been in public life.
These seven volumes will be published at
the same time, and probably about the
close Of the year.

The Staunton Messenger describes n
Visit to the Blue Ridge Tunnel. The cas-.
tern mouth Of the Tunnel is bout half d
mile distant from the top Of the mountain
AT this end the Tunnel has been driven
~ about 230 feet, and is finished as far MS
II has gone. Being constructed through
solid and exceedingly hard rock, it will
require no archlng. The advance at this
end IS about one foot per day.
AT the other end Of the work the pro-
grcss has been much more rapid. the rock
encountered being less difficult to work.
| This end Of the Tunnel has been carried in
nearly 400 feet, mixing the entire distance
completed, a Iittle over GOO feet, within
less than year from the commencement
Of this work In this connection it should
be borne in mind thai iora long time last
winter. the force employed was very in
considerable, and they only worked in day
light. There are now about 80 hands EN-
ployed at each end Of the tunnel, one half
Of whom are kept constantly ut " ork dny
and night. so that unless much greater
difficulties arc encountered, than there il at
present any reason to anticipate, the pros
pect Is very lair one that the work will
be finished within less than four years from
this time. A very considerable amount Of
work has been done on the line between
the Tunnel and Wayncsborough. Wcob
served at the latter place that the bridge
across South River is commenced. The
abu'men,s will be Of limestone obtained
several miles west Of Waynesborougb. 1t
IS remarkable fact, although the Blue
Ridge at this point is ones solid mass Of rock
from ITS hase to its top, yet none OF II is fit
Tor building purposes. And 1t is exceed
ipgly difficult in many instances TO use the
stone obtained y the mountain, even for
culverts across the bollows and gorgcs
which the line Of the road travcrscs.

LV Mr. James the newly elected Sena-
tor from Rhode Island and an experienced
manufacturer, is said TO have expressed the
sensible views contained in the extract
given below. If his advice in regard to
non-intcrcoursc had extended to Europe
as well as the North, we should look upon
its practical adoption, as a certain and spec
dy cure for all the evils and disadvantages
real orimaginary which the South cndurcs.
The South has many advantages for man
uiacturlng her own cotton that the North
docs not possess. and by using her nat
ural advantages she could monopolize the
whole business. She has the cotton on the
spot, the product of her own Fields, and
that cotton costs the Southern manufaciu-
rcr less perpound, by about two ccuts, than
it costs the manufacturer of the North
This saving alone. from the cost Of the man
ufacturcd fabric at Tic Northern mill, will
amount TO, at least, six per cent, per annum
on the capital of the mill, and which, added
to the profits Of Northern manufacturers,
must be much greater than the profits of
the cotton field. He adds:
Ifshe will accelerate her pace, and keep
even with the North, and achieve and
maintain the relative power and influence
she truly deserves, she must do as the
North does. She must cease to purchase
from abroad every manufactured article
she wants, from steam-englnc to penny
whistle, and make them for herself, and, if
need be, for others. There is no branch
OF business, especially at this momcnt,that
Is more worthy of her attention than the
manufacture Of cotton; there is none in
which she can so readily engage, none more
profitable. There is no one, to her. one
half as lmportant;no one that would so rap
IDLY increase her wealth and population,
enhance her political power and influence,
and enable her TO cease to be tributary to
the North.
