American Iron.

| The testimony of the eminent meiailurgist'
Dr. Mu-hef. of Scotland is decisive. lie says
that Scotch bars do not contain more than ~
per cent of y ire metal. whereas American
iron contains full 90 per cent. But We have
evidence on this score stronger than an o.
pinion founded on chemical anal yss. Late ex.

Inonstraied. that English cham cable OF Ger

breaking strain of ZIG pounds less than was re-
quiicd TO rupture American cham cable oil the
same diameter.
During the experiments at the Washington
Navy Ynrd, the strength of a chain OF French
manufacture wasa lso tried Ii yielded at break.
ing strain Of 1881 pounds. while an American
chain of the same thickness only yielded at n
strain of 1877 pounds. Similar results follow

to Scotch and domestic iron, it was sho" that

that of the former These are important con
sideraiions, but they seem to be generally over

rotary.
Tie object Of the meeting having beer
explained by the President, Mr.. T. b
Thorpe offered the following resolutions
which being read, were Oh motion unan'
imousiy adopted /:
Resoired, That we deeply regret tina,
our ar1icable relations with Spain have
been interrupted, either by the precepitate
zeal Of many Of our patriotic citizens
or by the inconsiderate conduct of tile
Governor General Of Cuba.
Resoived, That the greatest triumph.
achieved since we have been all indepen.
dent nation, over the tyrants Of the "oId
world" have been through the example
we have set, Of a great people, happy,
prosperous and self governing, thereby
stimulating the down trodden Of all lands,
to assert their rights.
Resolved, That the preservation of our
National honor is not a matter of polite
al difference, believing as we do, that all
American citizens are alike patriotic, and
that, therefore we utterly condemn the
action of those who would censure the
Executive sworn officers Of our Govern.
ment for ~endeavoring, in accordance with
their oaths, to preserve inviolate all treat
les with foreign nations, or not constitu.
%tionalIy repealed by ourselves.
Resolved That we have confidence in
the chosen Rulers Of our land, that they
will not allow the m~agnanimity Of a pow
erful people to be misconstrued by any
nation into a Of ability to protec,
our rights. and that our Executive will
act with promptness in resenting injuries,
in demanding idemnity fot past wrongs,
and security for the future.

The LINE BATTLE SHIP Pennsylvania.

HE LINE BATTLE CHlP PENNSYLVANIA.
This ship, which cost the nation $500,
600, built at Philadelphia in 1886, is now
lying at the Norfolk Navy Yard, and has
recently been converted into a ball room,
for the entertainment Of the officers on
that station. She is the largest ship in
the American Navy, and the most costly.
She carries l40 guns, and the only voyage
she ever made was from Philadelphia to
Norfolk. A correspondent Of the Utica
Gazette, in writing from Norfolk, Septen-
Der 10, speaks Of this ship rs follows:
The narrow inlet, which is her present
quarters. not allowing her to swing at an.
Choir with the tide, and exposing constant
ly the same side to the sun, her timbers
have decayed, and would require an i'm
mese outlay to replace. The sand has
formed bars around her, the oysters taken
up their beds beside her and fastened her
to the bottom, and if she ever moves
again, it will be done like Gen. ScoTT's
elevation to the Presidency--by carrying
the country with her.

An Incident.

When General ScorT, with an army OF
some ten thousand men. in ffty.fve days
had fought his way from Vera Cruz to
the city of Mexico-when, in the midst Of
a country ofeight hundred thousand fight
ing men, excited to the highest pitch OF
desperation, he had reduced every strong.
hold along the guarded road-when, hav-
ing reduced the capital Of the Montezu.
mas, and conquered the country, he was
abandoned by the Polk administration to
his own resources, and the hope that he
might never Iive TO return to the United
States was rife at Washington /; at that
moment the authorities Of Mexico offered
him the supreme government Of. their
country and a million of dollars if he
would remain there and take the dictation
of their affairs. It was then that VIM
FIELD ScoTT. burning with the love Of
that country whose rulers had repudiated
him, and desired his destruction, replied
mo, eve will I turn against my ma
tive land. l have fought forty years for
the United States. and, SO help me God,
I will never fight for sny other country"
History scarcely presents a parallel to
the noble sublimity of that scene.
And when, actuated by the mean jeal-
ousy ola PILLow and a Polk. the great
ScoTT cas ordered h0me undey arrest,
every regiment whose thinned ranks sur
vived the terrible conflict of that finty
high-road, and participated in the last
struggle for victory, marched around the
marquee of the honored leader, their
'bruised arms trailing with the habili-
ment Of mourning. "They were order
ed not to cheer" says one Of them /; "but
a company Of s~harp-shooters which had
confronted most of the guerilla warfare
on the road from Vera Cruz, broke through
the command, and salured their almost
worshiped old General with uproarious
cheers" But all these demonstrations
did not swerve, for an instant. the integri-
ty Of ScoTT. He cheerfnlly obeyed those
whom the laws of his country made his
superior, and fastened home to confront
the petty malignity Of his narrow-minded
enemies.-ChiAn0she Gazette.
