One day last week we were in the extensive
Rolling Mill Of the Mcssrs Williams L. Co. at
the "I,ock." They arc now manufacturing
the compound 7 Rail Road Iron, for it, inven-
tor, and patentce. Mr.. Winslow Of Troy, in the
state Of New York. The company has lately
put up at great cost, machinery by which they
are now able 10 make twenty tons Of Rail in
twenty four hours. We were also informed
that they design starting fourteen additional
fires, which will double their present facilities.
We saw the process Of manufacture, but for
want Of correct terms will not attempt to dcs-
cribe il. Tho Rail is in two pciccs matched
together sideways, somewhat like the tongue
and groove in flooring, except, that the groove
is much broader than the tongue y thick. The
pieces when put together make a bar similar in
appearance TO the common 7 Rail, except thai
there is a seam in the top of the rail. Tho
joints break mid way Of each rlil, and the part!
are riyet,cd together, thus max ng continuous
bar Of iron the whole length of the road, and
saving the expense of chairs. The energy ant
practical skill Of the Messrs. Williams & Co
are q sufficient guarantee Of their continue,
success. Every man about the establishment
seemed to conduct his department Of busines,
with the greatest ease and promptitudc.
We were also in the Foundry Of Mcssrs
Wood, Martin, & Co., in which We met some
intelligent nd clever mon, who gave our pnpc
the best Of encouragement by promptly subscri

or nine States, have declared them
selves opposed to any further traffic in
the public lands by the Government. md
in favor Of granting them in limited
quantities to actual settlers only.
The resolutions are such as will NEE
a hearty response from the people, when
the time comes for them to SPEAK at the
ballot box. The ticket presented by the
convention, is an impcrsonation Of th'
hopeful and the reform sentiment Of the
people.
