Men 90 10 California for gold, and seek

proved that the most productive ofall min
ing is that Of coal and iron, The Boons
and Kentons hunted over mines, unsus-
pectcd and unknown which will become
the wealth Of future ages. Alresdy there
are far more in Ohio than the public had
an idea Of. Either the census Of $50 was
greatly defective, OF the growth ofmininp

renee, Jackson, Vinton and Hooking, ma
ny new furnaces have been opened, and
In these as In other things there are great
improvements. A furnace turns out near
" double "a much iron as Il did twenty
years ago. The demand for iron increas-
es also beyond all precedent, Il Is not
as some suppose, the construction Of rail-
roads only which has occasioned this de-
mand. All the new arts Of life demand
iron, and every now town adds to lts con-
sumption. Most happily for us, we have
not only iron inexhaustible, but we have
begun to manufacture il far beyond the In
crease Of importations, SO that we shnll,in
few years, be rid Of the disgrace of go-
ing % foreign nations for what lies heap
ed up a-ound our doors.
In this mining, we find a beautiful IL
lustroton Of the dependency OF various OIL
ements Of industry on each other. These
iron furnaces consume a great amount ol
food for men and horses. This opens a
market for the farmer Of the mining coun.
ties. In fact, the farmers Of that region
will soon need no other. II will need
the highest cultivation 10 supply the de-
mand. SO also, OF natural produotions.-
Soon the furnacee, railroads, and all 9th
er machinery must use coal, and here II
lies, where the utmost cost need not ex.
ceed four cents per bushel. Thus we fine
in Ohio all the resources Of an empire
and each one contributing 10 the other
till we know not what measure of art, ol
wealth, Of production, or Of power, may
here be accumulated, nor 70 what extent
Of physical and intellectual grandeur the
freedom of institutions and the genius OF
science may carry this young and growing
people.-E. d. Mansfield.

What is Non-lnteVentionl

What power has territorial legislature
over slaveryl
"The powers over persons and property,
Of which we speak, are not only not gran

not liberal enough 70 secure the object

reduction Of fly per cent. This bill
was not received with favor, and was In

The Strongest Man in the world.

The Strongest Man in the World.
DR.. Windship, the strong man, who
tainted on attempting to lecture in Boston
not long ago, made another and more sue
cessful attempt in the Music Hall, in that
city, last week. The correspondent oI
the New York Tribune says:
His lecture was a very sensible one, on
the importance Of obedience 10 the
physical laws OF nature, especially as Ia
ventilation and muscular deYelopment.-
He believed that no adequate notionis yet
had as to the degree TO which bodily
strength may be increased. He had had
his attention first attracted to the subject
when in college, eight OF nine years ago,
being at that time not more than an av-
erage lad of sixteen or seventeen. By de-
grees he has increased his muscular pow
ers up to their present extraordinary force.
He is about five feet seven inches tall and
weighs, when in good condition, only l43
pounds. BY way of showing us what he
could do, he first lifted with his hands on
ly, without straps or other apparatus, a
weight Of 929 pounds, including the chain
which sustained the weights This, he af-
firmed, was more than any man had ever
lifted before, in the same way, Of whom
there is any authentic record.
A famous strong Englishman, In the
last century, could lift between 700 and
800 pounds, and M. Bithin the Belgian gi-
ant, 800 pounds. Both OF these were Oh
der men, he being but 2b, and he annOunc-
ed his intention Of lifting 900 pounds by
the time he is 30. Afterwards he lifted
himself by his little finger so as 20 bring
HE chin higher than the laboring point,
and Afterwards, by grasping the rope,with-
out any other purchase. Next he mani-
pulated his dumb bells, weighing hum
dred pounds each, and concluded with tax
ing up barrel Of -four in his hands, and
putting Il on his shoulder, and walking
about the stage with t. He stated apollo
getically, that he was not in as high con-
dition as usual, and weighed seven pounds
less than his average, in consequence Of
Ibis indisposition, occasiOned by his last
ecture.

and that il was carried by a combination
Of Loc0focos and Gardiner Americana

entitled"A Game Of Cards" France was
then, as now, allied 10 Piedmont, and sus-

reigns Of Europe are represented sitting
around table and indulging In game Of
Ptquet The following dialogue takes place
between them.
France-Pardon mel It's my time L

Some very interesting details Of the
bloody battle fought near Milan are given
under our telegraphie head. Itseems The
loss on either side Is not so heavy ao frs;
reported. A French account says the
number Of Austrians killed and disabled
is 10000, and that 1000 were taken pris-
oners. The French loss is stated 20 be
but 5000 killed and wounded, Conflict
ing accounts are sent out as 20 the result
Of the battle. The French claim signal
victory, while the Austrians persist IN an
nounoing that their troops fought gallant
ly, and held the Allies at bay. Thetruth
probably is that Milan has been evacuAt-
cd BY tho Austdans, which betokens any
thing but an Austrian victory. The
French Emperor directed the movements
Of the contest, but did not command in
person. Marshal Canrobert isreported
mortally wounded.
