Immense Deposit of Iron Ore.

An important discovery of another vast
deposit of iron ore has been made within n
few days, in the vicinity of the Pilot Knob,
in Missouri. On removing the earth to the
depth of two and three feet, body of pure
hematite ore of an unknown depth, is found
to pervade the country for miles. The in
dications are, that it is a larger body of ore
than that found in Iron Mountain, and of a
quality quite equal, if not superior. The
whole region of country around the Iron
Mountain and Pilot Knob appears to be
filled with deposits of iron, which the world
could not exhaust in ages.
The gentlemen on whose lands these re-
cent discoveries have been made, entered, a
few months ago, $4,000 acres at Govern
ment prices. The land is very heavily
timbered with yellow pine and oak, which
makes the best charcoal for smelling pur-
poses. This region is about to be penetrat-
ed by the Iron Mountain Railroad, which
is to extend from st. Louis to Memphis
The former city, besides the immense COM
merce which her position will secure to her,
and the other manufactures which her local
advantages will draw around her, will be
the heaviest producer and worker in iron on
the continent With the richest and most
abundant ores, lying by the finest bitumin-
Gus coal, and surrounded with gigantic for
ests, the State of Missouri must be without
competitor in the. production of iron. Ii
is a reproach to our national policy that
such a State should be sending her bond!
to England, and selling them at IS cent
on the dollar, to buy iron for the road
that are passing over her own rich beds o

DtvoRexs.-Our laws regulating divorces

DfvoReEs.-Our laws regulating divorces
are the subject of comment all over the
country, and are becoming a reproach to
the State. The Dockets in every judicial cir
cult are burthened with applications for d.
vorce, a large portion of which are made by
persons who were never seen in the State
till few weeks before the setting OF the
Courts, and who disappear within twenty
four hours after the DEGREES in their cases is
recorded. The docket at the present term
of the Cont in this county contains TWEEN
ty-two petitions for divorce, some Of the
parties are entirely unknown here.
These cases occupy great deal of the
time of the Court, to the delay of other
causes, and to the serious injury to other
iitigants, citizens of our own State, for
whose benefit our Courts are established
and supported.
The trial of every divorce case is lesson
of Generalization in domestic life; and
many of them are the occasion of disclos-
ures of such depravity that outrage the NOR
al sense of the community. 1t is bad enough
to endure the evil Influences of an exposure
of our own sins, without having the moral
sense of our communities debased by the
details of the depravity and libertinism that
prevails among the immoral and prohigate
in all the Atlantic cities. If the law is to
remain 9s it is for our own citizens, some
thing should be done to prevent this State
from becoming sink for cleansing all the
polluted connubial beds in the country; we
do not think it COMFORTS with the dignity O.
Che State, to make our Judges the operator;
in the dirty work. The Fort Wayne Time
complains of the same evil in the following
language:
In this county is large lot of divorce
applications, in behalf of parties who come
here for that purpose, commit perjury as t.
residence, get divorced, and then go out t.
deceive some one else. 1t is an evil tina
ought to be dropped on. Any man whc
comes here for that purpose should be kick
ed out of the community, and the woman
suspected of unchastity. We have no spec
ial reference to any pending application, Blu
in the past the conduct of such persons ha
been too fragrant.
The New Albany Tribune says there ar
thry-two applications for divorce before tn
Circuit Court now sitting in that city, an
adds:
Sixty-four persons, principally resident
of other States, want to shake off the silke
bands of Hymen. Who will say that it
not high time that our very liberal divorc
laws should be amended? $3.50 rr

English Railroad Iron.

In reply to the frequent reproaches cast
upon agents of American railroad compa-
MES who succeed in buying iron in England
by delnsive exaggerated accounts of the, sue
cess and prospects of their roads, a writer in
the London Times replies by showing up
the impositions practieed by English iron
masters upon the American purchasers. The
buyer, he says fixes the price of his rail
road bonds, say at so cents on the dollar,
in half payment of the iron; the other half to
be cash. The price of the iron is fixed at $40
per ton. The cost to the English manufac-
turer of the inferior iron, he declares is, in
fact, only S26 per ton. Taking 100 tons
of iron to illustrate the nature of the bar
gain, the result is as follows:
One hundred tons of rails sold for 81, 900.
One half is paid in cash $4,000; 81, 500 in
bonds at SO. cents, $4,000; cost of the rails
$4,000; cash paid, $4,000. The balance OF
the 5000 is the actual cost of $4,000 bonds
to the English manufacturers, which is all
the risk he incurs in the bargain. A great
norton of the iron sold to American road:
is such that no English company would use
made from the scraps and heaps of refuse
about the furnaces. This accounts for tn.
heavy costs of repairs on many of oui
roads

ACCIDENTAL DEATH - The Vincennes
Sun says the Rev. Isaac Dale, Of Central
City, H., came to his death, few days
since, in the following manner. Mr.. D.,
who lad been out hunting, was standing at
the counter in Martins store, one of his feet
resting on a chair and rife leaning against
his breast--in removing his feet it struck
the hammer of his gun, which exploded
the whole charge passed through his breast
in the region of the heart, causing his death
in half an hour. He was a gentlemen uni
versally beloved, and leaves a family.

= There is truth and shrewknesS in the fol-
lowing remarks upon the prospects OF the
Democratic party, from the Richmond
(Virginia) South. If the parties composing
the opposition are wise they will take a hint
from it. The ultra doctrines-the selfish
pretensions, and disorganizing course Of the
leaders of the opposition in several of the
States will insure an easy triumph to the
Administration party, unless the factious
leaders be dethroned;
Let the prescnt state of things be what
they may, the prospects of the Democratic
party of the Union will not greatly suffer in
any event. These elections over, the Kan
sas difficulty will be at an end. There will
be no discordant elements in the way of the
perfect cooperation of all sections of the
party in the next Presidential election. On
the other hand the disorganization of the
opposition will become every day more in
tense and impracticable the chances of an
effective coalition will constantly diminish
in proportion to the increase of candidates
and the multiplication of irreonclable is
sues. The most determined of the Black
Republicans will adhere to the anti-slavery
article of their creed to the bitter end; but
the occasion for its immediate application
past and the excitement subsidized, the con-
servatiye portion of the party will begin to
reflect upon the ultimate consequences OF
such a purely sectional movement. Black
Republicanism will appear in the next Pres
idential election canvass, as ficrcely sectional
as ever, but with such diminished proper
| tionS rs TO render it nOwerleSs for mischief
i The Americans will doubtless preserve
their organization, unless, in the meantime
they become merged in the controlling ele
ment of the opposition. In either event, thu
position and prospects of the Democracy vii
be the same. We shall be victorious il
1860, whatever the character of the oppo
sition; and, for our part, we care not how
soon they combine their scattered forces.

be-. 1t is stated that Mr.. Buchanan is
making arrangements to reproach the peo-
pie for not obeying his bidding at the polls,
by giving burial in foreign offices to those
who were destroyed by the Lecompton
plague. But the Southern politicians are
getting enough of this. They say, and say
truly, that the conduct of the Administra-
ton must inevitably lead to the humiliation
of the Democratic party. Certain it is, that
no surer steps could have been taken to that
end than have been taken already.

Election Scenes in North Carolina.

A correspondent of the Pendleton Messen-
ger, reporting a trip through Spartanburg to
North Carolina, gives some illustration of
d" detection times" which may be interesting
and suggestive:
arrived at the election ground, there
was sight worth seeing. Apple brandy
ruled. There were about rs many women
as men on the ground. This is a peculiar
feature in North Carolina gatherings-the
women nearly all attend, and results ben
efcially sometimes. ] once saw a fellow
get into a fight at one of those elections,
while his wife was along with him. The
front yard of the doggery had been grayeled
with very coarse gravel. Our hero pulled
off his shirt and pitched in, but was soon
made to bite-the gravel. Hero No. .
jumped on him, but was no sooner on than
off, for our first-named heros wife gathered
hoop-pole and such lambing as hero No.
got it has not been my fortune to see
since. All hands stood off and saw it well
DONE Hero No. l was a sight. Imagine a
man S back full of coarse gravel-goughed in
through the skin.
ain approaching the election ground,
young men and women could be seen sitting
on logs in the woods, eating ginger cakes
and drinking cider and brandy. Heap of
land to the acre there. One fellow jumped
out of shanty there where they kept their
apple brandy, and swore that he could whip
| the man that had anything against him.
Everybody seemed too drunk to take much
notice of him. Two fellows got n scuff1ing
on large scafiold, and down it came caus-
ing general row. Some were knocked
down by the falling of the scaffold, and,
suppoSing somebody had knocked them
down, pitched in promiscuously. l thought
it was time for peaceable man to leave, SO
| took the road.

Bsg| While most of the large metropol-
itan papers are denouncing, in all sorts of
epithets, the brutality and barbarism of the
fight between Morrissey and Heenan, they
are all furnishing their readers with elabo-
rate and most exciting details of the gladi-
torial contest. Those who attended the ex-
hibition are represented as men of brutal
characters and depraved tastes. How much
worse is it to look upon the fight than to
gloat for an hour over its disgusting details
in print. This is fattering the sanctimo-
NOUS and hypecritical spirit of the day,
while pandering to the brutal tastes which
the inordinate stimulents of modern civil
zation to the passions, is developing.

DoUGLAs.-A correspondent of the Vim

with the people, by an account of the oc-
currences at Springfield, on the goth inst ::
This morning at daylight cannon were
booming-two brass bands filing all space
with sweet sounds, and the trees hung with
flags; and all because a little fellow named
Douglas was going to talk an hour from the
court house steps at 2 clock, p. NJ. How
it is that he can draw such crowds, when
the people are literally worn out with stump
ing exhibitions, puzzles me. He has spoken
in every prominent town in this vicinity,
yet no less than five thousand eager, enthu-
siastic people rushed about the stand and
drowned cannon and brass bands by their
shouts. THE excitement of 40 was tame
compared with that of 50 in interior Hi
nois.
Douglas speaks at Lawrcnceyillc to-mor-
row, and at Carmi on Friday, which will be
his last speech in the campaign. On Tues.
day next the exciting contest will be de-
cided at the ballot boxes. That Dougla:
will be triumphantly sustained, is the opin
ion Of the calmest and shrewdest observers

Bg" Bell, who was abducted from New
Albany, was taken from the Louisville Jail
to Drandcnburgh, and thence to Elizabeth
town, in Hardin county, and placed in Jail
far in the interior, to prevent a rescue by
the Indianians, who, the Louisville journal
thinks, will not dare to penetrate the State
so far to release him. The journal further
says ait is fortunate, that the people of New
Albany, whose first impulse was to go over
in body and take Bell from the Louisville
Jail, did not venture upon so insane a step,
for whatever their numbers might have been
or however brave they might have been,
few would have re-crosscd the river alive
This is not the tone in which to talk to q
community whose soil and rights had been
insultingly violated and their feelings want,
only outraged.
