Saturday, January p, 1856.
Burlington Factories.


Accompanying friend from the interior
who had business, We spent a very few min
utes in the Foundry and Machine Shop of Mr.
Uendrie, in the lower part Of the city. We
found he had erected large and permanent
bindings, and in the various departments, so
far as we were competent judges, adopted
the latest improvements and best nodes
His stationary engines ara said to be as good,
a, we'll finished, and as durable as those
from the. best shops. Aud the fact which he
stated at that time, that he had orders always
aheai, and at this present time for eighteen,
is pretty good evidence that his machines
give satisfaction. A large number Of men
obtain good wages and constant employment
in this establishment.
Mr.. IIendrie informed US that he came to
Burlington in lS43, with very light purse.
He started in business with hogshead Of
coal and o few pounds of iron. Now he en-
ploys an hundred men-carries on lucra-
tive business in shops and buildings of his
own erection, filled with lathes, machinery,
tools, patterns, &C., &C.. put up at great ex-
pense. Such are the fruits Of industry, per-
severance and skill. And the example of Mr..
II. is one that should encourage every young
man to depend on these for success.
Mr.. BEERS, as will be seen by the CORES
pondence in another column, has consented
to deliver course Of lectures to the citizens
of Burlington. We are informed the frs OF
the course will be delivered this evening at
Marion Hall. We take pleasure in making
the announcement, anticipating for him much
better houses than were in attendance the
forepart Of the week.
We listened to Mr.. Beers lecture on the
Immortality Of the Soul" and entirely con-
cur with others who heard it, in pronouncing
it finely wrought, and polished discourse,
intoxicating correct ideas in beautiful and
forcible language.

More About the Strike.

In the notice that we last week made
Of the strike at the iron works in this
place and Hanging Rock, we were moi
then in possession Of all the facts rela.
ting 10 the merits Of tho case. Since
then considerable number of the lead
ing mechanics; the boilers, have called
upon us, and given statement Of the
facts relative to the merits Of the case,
which are in subsistence as follows.
Early last February, when the mills
in this place were preparing to go into
operation, some little difficulty occurred
between the mills and the workmen rel.
alive TO terms. At that time the works
in Wheeling we're paying 1926 per ton
for boiling. and the Cincinnati mills
were paying but Is per ton. The pro.
pfieton here offered the Wheeling prices,
which we're then above the Cincinnati
rstss. but tho workmen preferred the Gin.
sinnsti prices. and proposed to go to
work, with the understanding that they
Ihosld be governed BY the Cincinnati

which the Cincinnati prices wore adopt
ed. On this contract the mills .statred
and continued In operation until some
time after tho price for boiling. at Gin
cinnsti, was raised from 5 to 60 per ton.
The strike hero was only made when
tho mills refused to pay 90 per ton, the
price paid at Cincinnati, the boilers
then simply stopped work.
The mills then proposed TO pay them
$3.50 per ton, but the workmcn declined
10 80 to work for any sum below the Gin.
cinnati rate, claiming that as q subsis,.

other men in the places Of those who
are standing for the benefit Of their con.

to US by six Of the boilers, who are all

II such a contrcct exists as is above
stated, we cannot imagine on what prin.

seek to.evade.its operation: To be sure
the iron manufacture, in.!some Of its
branches, is no! now SO profitable as it
has been. What the mills can afford 10

for, arose and alluded to the objects for
which the people were assembled. They
had endeavored to suppress the illegal
and fraudulent sale Of spirituous liquors
by every lawful means in their power,
and yet the evil seemed unabated. They
had forborne, until forbearance was q
virtue no longer. What was to be done? ?
What could have been done, but to rise
in the primitive majesty Of the people,
who felt their might and would make it

Mr.. JOHNSON spoke of the intentions
Oh the founders Of lronton. They wish.

upon such basis that it should never

cIude from our midst one of the sorcst
evils with which modern civilization has
been afflicted. If they have not wholly
succeeded, it is because men who disre.
gard law, order, and the general welfare
have been strenuous in their efforts to
Illustrate this wholesome regulation.

midst but few days since? A party OF

BIr SOME two weeks since a bloody

EJ SOME two weeks since a bloody
fracas took place at East lronton, hav'
ing its rise primarily in one Of the whis
ky.boats moored on the Kentucky shore
The greatest excitement was occasioned
at the time, and il was resolved by some
OF our citizens to rid the neighborhood
Of these establishments.
On Tuesday morning the 9Th inst, a
large party Of men marched to a boat,
moored on the Ohio shore, about mile
up the river, with the intention Of settin g
it aaoat. The crowd was harangued; /;
and committee appointed to wait on
the keeper Of the boat and demand his
departure forthwith. The committee de.
livered their message to the individual in
charge OF the concern-the owner being
absent One days time was asked for
removal. but it was not allowed. The
boat was then cut loose, the flag lowered
to half mast, and, amid the sh outs OF
the multitude, il was conducted to Iron.
ton. A large crowd was assembled al
the wharf, and they greeted the captured
craft with loud cheers.
1t was now proposed 10 visit the boa,s
at the Kentucky shore, but the majority
concluded to go to West lron.on. They
waited on an old lady who had "suthin'
to take," and wished to purchase her
stock. She resisted. They then de.
stroyed it by pouring it on the earth.
Two other groceries were next visited.
The owners not being willing TO come
to any terms with them-lhe whole stock
OF liquors---some ten casks-was STAYED
and emptied on the ground.
The company next went 10 the gro.
Gerry Of DANIEL LEWIS, north Of town.
The whole stock in his store was sack.
ed; but quantity in his cellar was un.
touched, owing to sickness in his family.
In the afternoon TN expedition was
fitted out against TAcKErT's boat, on
the Kentucky shore. The Kentuckians
armed for the fight; psrley ensued. the
result Of which, we understand. was, that
said TAcxETr should sell his liquors
and move off by next Saturday.
These extraordinary proceedings ere
ated an intense excitement in our midst.
Opinions are variant as to the propriety
Of what was done; and men Of standing
and influence are found among the apol.
ogists and opponents Of this measure.
On Wednesday night meeting was
called at the Court House 10 consider
the matter. 1t was largely attended,
