The National InteIligencsr makes the fol
lowing remarks:
Iron is the most abundant metallic mate.
rial our country affords. its value is ten
times the value OF gold or silver, and one
half the value of all the metals produced in
the United States. Iron lie found in every
State Of the Union, The value of the iron
produced in the United States in 1884 was
IS ,oD0, 900; ih 1887, $S7,700,o0o.
In Ohio, 200 square miles are uut'erlad
with iron. A region explored in 1888 w0uC
furnish iron 81 miles long and 6 miles wi de
a square would Weld 5000, 900 tons OF pig
iron; so that this district which contain ed
l ,O00, 900, 900 tons. which would last 27t)C
years, as long distance certainly as nuy
man looks ahead! The States Of Kentucky,
Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois. Maryland, and
Virginia possess inexhausible quantities Of
iron ore. In Tennessee 100000 tons use
annually manufactured.
IL issupposed by geologists thu. The weekly
supply OF gold from our own mines will be
equal to the demand, nnd that our own mine,
will yet be more profitable than the mines oj
Brazil and Columbia.
The most extensive Lead Mines in the
world are in Missouri, where the lead res
gion 10 seventy miles long by fifty feet wide.
Those mines in 1925 produced 100000
tons, and the whole produce Of the United
States was S,232 los tons,
The quantity of lead manufactured in the
United States lS4S was 1921 ,730 pounds;
ia 1929, l4,54l $40 pounds ;in 1888, $685.
los; and in 1922. 4,2Sl ,s67 pounds
The copper trade, until within year or
two, has hot heen Of much importance as the
result Of the efforts made were not such as
TO justify any great operations. Bnt now it
appears to be attracting good deal Of atten.
tion. Whether the demand for copper stock
is fair indext the value Of the copper re-
gions, remains to he seen.
II IS estimated that the quantity Of iron
produced in the United States in lS45 was

BemeII. Of RnIlroads.

The great and permanent advantage Of
Railroads is 10 bring the producer mure ca
sly within the reach OF tbs consumer. This
must be effected either BY euIIailing dislaB-
css, or by annihilating time and space by
sPesd, thus ehsSPoning transportation.
Let The larmer bear ia mind that, Sben il
is difficult 10 have q personal intercourse
with :he purchaser, owing 10 distance and
the means Of conveyaacs-ihey must Of ne.
eessity send their produce 10 market them,
selves-buI when matkels are easy Of sc>
cess, the consumer will Iake his products
from his door il necessary.
The farmer living within few miles Of
Boston. Philadelphis OF New York, can sell
his beef at from 10 TO 16 cents per h.. dou>
BILE that which can bs realized in jefferson
county. The reason Of this is obVious--it
requires the difference between the prices TO
get the products Of The latter into market.
HaG we u railroad connection with either OF
tho cities above named, the dilfeIeHce be-
tween the prices Of beef here, and in the
Eastern cities, would be merely nominal,
The same advantages would bo had, also,
by cur farmers in the sale Of other products.
For instance, potatoes. which sell here for
bat so cents per bushel, sell there for IRON
rs TO so cents--butIer, which commands
here but Is cents per h., would sell readily
at 80 cenIs--cOrn, wheat, -four, &C., in the
sam rnlio. Land no better than 10 JeGor-
son county, is wOSth near thOse cities from
500 10 $500 per acre for agricultural pur-
poses.
| What makes these diferencesi II is
simply the advantages the eastern produc er
has over the western, in reaching market.
| Therefore, if our farmers desire 10 get 10
cents per lb. for their beef, where they got
but 5-75 cents per bushel for potatoes,
where they get but 40 and 5O-S5,25 per
hbl. for n"ur, where they get but $3.50 -
$50 to $l00 pes acre for land, where they
get but $25, and every 'hiRg else in proper.
tiOn they must bling the consumer more
easily within the reach Of the producer. To
effect this, no improvement is 81 efficient as
railroad, and no railroad will bring about
an object 40 much desired by the citizens Of
Jefferson county, as the early construction
Of the SteubenviIle and Indiana Railroad
which 10 intended TO be link in The great
railroad chain, which is TO connect the East
ern with the Wesleia market.
To put The first and most important por'
tion of this road under cOntEact-to connect
the Ohio river al S'eubenville with the Ohio
Canal in Tuscarawas county, but few
thousa nd dollars are yet wanting. To se-
cure this much, will not the farmers of JEFF
ferson county take the small amour. Of stock
yet wanting to complete the woukt We do
hope they may. The city Of Steubenville
has subscribed 'iberaliy.
Let sectional feelings be thrown aside in
building this improvement. LIE. town and

mendable en,erpTize, which to ench and all

The First and Last Fatal Duel By Hi.
noiGns.-ln the year 1890, duel was
fought in Belevile, ST. Clair county, be.
tween Alphonso Stewart and VIM. Ben
net. The seconds had made il up to be
a sham duel; Stewart, one of the pa rites,
was supposed to be in the secret; but
Bennett his adversary, believed 1t to be a
reality. 1t is supposed that Bennett some
what suspected trick, and after receiv-
ing his gun from his second, rolled bali
into it. AT the word fire, Stewart fell,
mortally wounded. Benne, was indicted,
tried and convicted for murder. A great
effort was made 10 procure him pa rdon;
but Governor Bond would yield 10 no en-.
treaties, and Bennett suffered the extreme
penalty Of the law, by hanging, iu the
presence Of a great multitude of people.
This was the first and the last. duel,
which has ever been fought in the State,
by any Of its citizens. The hanging Of
Bennett, made duellng discredilable and
unpopular; and laid the foundation of that
abhorrence Of the practice. which has
been felt and expressed by the people Of
Illinois. The present Judge Lockwood,
was then Attorney General of the State,
and prosecuted in this case; to his talents
and success as prosecutor, the people are
indebted for this early precedent and ex-
ample which did more than is generally
supposed, to prevent the practice OF duel.
ling from being introduced into this State.

A NEST OF CoUNTERFEITERs
ROUTED

Il
Last week Marshal Phelps and Ca plain
Cozzsns, Of the 81. Louis police, reached
his city in pursuit OF man by the name
Of Moore, Who was in 81. Louis a short
time since on his return from California.
He was strongly suspected as being the
chef Of the band Of counlerfeiIers who
succeeded in passing the immense qusnti-
" Of counterfeit Missouri money that
had been lately put afoat iu California
On reaching this city, the ST. LOUIS Off
GERS, together with Marshal Ronald and
officer GilnaOpe Of our city, procee ded to
the house OF Mr.. Fulgate, in Shelby
county, where Moore had been traced.
fugals's house stands isolated, and no
stranger can approach within 200 yards
OF il on any side without being seen.-
The officers were apprised Of the watch
fulness of the inmates, and managed to
reach The house just about daylight, but
the rogue they were in search Of had
flown. He had made tracks in company
with Fugate, day or two previous, for
Virginia. They succeeded, however, in
arrestIng chap with counterfeit Ten
nessee money in his possession, the par
ticulars Of which were narrated. in the
Courier,a a day or two since. The fol-
lowing additional account of the affair is
from the Shelby news Of yesterday; the
man Burgess there alluded to, is rot, how.
ever, the rogue that uttered the Missouri
money.
Arrest.-On Saturday night last, Mar.
shal Ronald, of Louisville, accompanied
by Sheriff Robinson, of this county, and
two or three officers from Louisville and
St. Louis, stormed and captured 'Rogue's
Retreat'-Old Fugaie' Sin this county,
and arrested man named Burgess, char
ged as the counterfeiter who had succeed
ed in utterng and passing some $s0,0
Of $50 bills on the Bank Of Missouri, in
California and other places. We learn
that Mrs. Pitts, one of Fugate's daughters,
attempted to shoot Mr. Ronald, 5u, the
cap exploded without discharging the pis.
tol , and before she could pull the trigger
second time the revolver was taken
from her.-The house was then search
ed; but her husband had escaped through
q window up stairs.
Burgess, when the officers entered the
house, was in the act of putting on his
pantaloons; and when he saw the officers
he ran his hand in his pocke.--lt was sup
posed for pistol but before he could
get it out, the officers had him 'ruflled ,
He then attempted to throw into the fire
large roll OF bank bills, but it fell upon
the hearth, and was secured by the off
GERS. The roll consisted Of over 5000
IN counterfeit $50 bills on the Bank Of
Tennessee.

s''ufess OF that inviting eOahuy. A letter
tom BOsioaian who has spent yeaT in the
Territory, dated Nov. 2Olh, 1850, aud pub
lished IN the Traveller. says:
The emigration this season mas been faI
greater IhaR ever before. Il is VsrIo0sly es-
'lmaied from 5000 20 5000. Every steamer
aud sail vessel is literally crowded with DIS
appointed gold dIggers, aud such as have
isniiles, aud do not wish to remain ia q eouh-
iry as unhealthy as California.
Oregon will soon become n state; our
towns are ias, filling ur, aud the banks Of
OUT beautiful rivers are everywhere dotted
with neat frame houses. Our people have
long siuce become dIsgusled with mining
aud have returned To their homss and are
pursuing their various esllings. Small as the
population Of this Territory then was, 800 Of
her hardy sons have laid their bones in the
sands OF our sister State.
The gteaI bug-benr Of our Navy, the bar
of the Columbia, is every day crossed and
re-crossed by vessels Of every description,
without danger, without difficulty, aud often
without pilots.
The vast amount OF farming lands offer
every lnducement to settlers, snd though the
crops have been enUrmous, yet produce Of
every kind is high. Il is estimated that
there is al present 100000 bushels Of new
wheat in the grsnaries Of farmers, yet none is
sold tor less than $500 per bushel. Pota-
,oes irom $3 to 81, Butter 81 per lb., and
Apples So To $40 per busheL
A farmer IN this neighborhoOd sold yes
'erday his crop OF potatoes for $4,000; he
had raised them all with no other help than
two small boys. This is better than any 81
the Oregonians ever did in the gold mines
ard they were not only the first but Ihs most
successful Of miners.
The Rife Regiment is fast getting into

to believe is true. that serious mutinv oc-
CURED on bonrd the bnrque William III. Sha-
Ter, Capt. VIM II. Gardiner, Jr., master. on
her Int passnge via The East Indies, to San
Francisco. The report is. that the barque.
owing TO the sickness of some of the crew,
arrived at Manila short handed, when Capt
Gardiner applied to the American Consul to
obtain more seamen, that he might continue
the voyage. This was found very difficul,
matter, no good hands being disergaged m
that port; bu, finally, and after much trouble
two men, one Portuguese and the other
English, were induced to ship. These men
were of notorons bad character, and known
az such to the Consul, who cautioned Capt.
Gardiner TO keep sharp look out for them.
The barque sailed from Manil a, and on the
third or fourth day out, tho Captain ordered
one OF the new recruits tu 90 aloft and mr.
range some sail. The fellow refused; when
The order was repeated ina more perempiory
manner. The sailor replied impudently.
and the Captain then advanced towards him.
when the mniineer made an attempt 10 seize
him by the throat, and the two clinched snd
fell upon the deck. At this momen the 9th.
or advanced to aid bis comrade with his
sheathed knife out. Capt. Gardiner by
violent effort. loosed one Of his hands and
managed 10 draw a revolver fromihis ps cket,
discharged one barrel into the neck Of the
mutinoer he was struggling with. The fel-
low relaxed his hold, and the Captain sprang
TO his feet Just as the second sailor wos a.
bout to stab him with his knife. The Capt
instantly leveled his pis,o. and shct the fell
low through the head, killing him instantly.
The whole affair occupied but moment,
and began md reached its bloody termina,
'ion before any one Of the officers and crew,
who we're mostly below al tho time, could
come to Capt. GARDENERS assistance. The
nautineer who was shot in the neck survived
and his wound nearly healed; but he was
naorose and silent The remainder Of the vov>
age, and as the harque was about entering
the Bay Of San Francisco, he leaped aver
board and was drowned. Boston Daily
