There is also, in full and successful

all said to be very superior quality
There is also soda-ash mandatory,
employing rs hands anG producing 500
tons annually.
The above are the principal manufac-
tories. although by no means docs it in
cludc every variety Of business done in
this place. We were informed that the
result Of the most careful investigations
proved that of the manufacturing and
other business, taking all together, the
actual amount does not fall short of $780,
100000 annually There are consumed
about 100000 bushels coal ANNUALLY
in the manufacturing establishments val
ued at $500 900: and an equal numbcr
of bushels exported to the lower markets,
giving direct employment to upwards Of
1000 hands.
On the south side of the city, end in
close proximity, stand bold elevation
of 500 or GOO feet, called Coal IIill.-
This hill has yielded millions of bushels
of coal for the support of the city. 1t
is now disposacsscd of most of its treas
urcs, and is one vast dome. supported by
natural coal pillars, formed by the timers
in dfsembowelling tho mountain. A
Wagon road leads to the top, and sever
al beautiful cottages grace its sumit and
lock down in naughty grandeur upon the
city below The consumption of such
vast quantities of coal gives a melan
choly tingc to the city. The weather
was unusually fine when We were there
yet the heavens were of blue haze of a
November sky. But the din and hustle
Of business gave the city an active and
lifo-like appearance.
Pittsburgh is really the great hive Of
American artisans, and is destined tc
rank among the first manufacturing cit
les of tho world. Such at least is our
impression and abiding conviction. The
next morning, we took the early train
for 1Iarrsburgh and Philadelphia, and
babe adieu to the city, not, however
without feeling a stronger and deeper
impression of the true glory of Ameii
can enterprise and American industry.

Td), May IL.
Our community hes again been thrown
into state of intense excitmcnt, by
one of the most horrible murders that
has ever come TO my knowledge. a
young man IA minor) named James
Ames, on saturday last got into aifii.
Guilty with Mr.. George East, his stsp,
father, and seized gun to shoot him,
when his mother, Mrs. East, induced
him TO put it down. lie thereupon
drew out a large butcher knife sharpen.
ed like razor, which it seems he had
been carrying for eighteen months past
and advanced to East, who started to
run. OvertakiDg East, he stabbed him
repeatedly bohind, till he fell, when the
assassin got upon and literally cut him
to pieces, ripping out the bowels from
the breast down, cutting him in the
breast, laying open his heart an inch or
two, and stabbing aud gashlng him in a
number Of places. And to cap the eli
max after the bloody monster had left
him. fearing as he says, that he was not
dead, he returned, propped up the body
against the fence, and cut the throat
from car to ear, tho wound extending
entirely though the wipdpipe aud dis.
joiniing the neck.
lie then returned to town and dcliv-
cred himself up, saying he had been in
tending to do it for long time and
if East was not then dead, he could 90
back and finish him He alleges bad
treatment of his mother as the reason !;
but it is thought to have been on account
of property belonging to his mothcr,an
which BY the marriage vested in East.
Public feeling against him is excited
to such pitch, that it is almost impos-
sible te prevent their forciblo entry in
to his prison and putting him to death
in the most summary manner.-That he
will meet the murdercr's doom is GER
tain, but through fair trial by the
laws of his country.
A YANKEE Tack ~ TmE Barrie
A letter from an officer in the Baltic

Is, tells the following good story;
"Oue morning a few days since, we
saw large vessel eight or ton miles a.
head, which VIC fully believed to be a
Russian man-ofwar, as she made all sail
to get away, and showed no colors, As
we rapidly came up with her, she took
in sail until she was under reefed Top.
sails-fghting lrm-so we beat to quar-
tiers, and tho pipe sounded loudly,
Hands, bring the ship into action"
For some tdree minutes everything was
bustle-casting the guns loose, clearing
the decks, &c Five minutes more, and
every gun was shotted and primsa, aud
the men standing with the natchlincs
in their hands, waiting for the word to
fire. Just as We got within good dis.

founded upon that Infamous statute Of South Carolina,
by which her citizens claim right to mprson colorea
seaqasn Of all nations and those cast upon their

vance of its publication, and find that it gives life
like picture of Pereira the vessel in which he sailed
the storms she encountered and her wrecked condition
when brought into the port Of Charleston, S. g.. to-
gether with the imprisonment Of Pereira several
men belonging to the New England States, and two
French seaen the prison regimen, character of the
Charleston police, and the mendacty OF certain Off
cials, who make the law medium of peculation The
work is replete with incidents of Southern life and
character pointing Souherners to the things that call
for correction at their own hands, with force that
cannot be mistaken. The work is written by who
has taken prominent part in the affairs of the South
and cannot fail to interest alike the general reader
