A REVOLUTION IN IRoN SMELTING.-A practical
iron manufacturer of Cincinnati, has addressed
the following communication TO Hamilton Smith
Esq, of Cannelton, upon an important change
that is to be adopted in smelling iron:
"The iron manufacture of the whole Ohio
valley, from Pittsburgh to Paducah, is on the
eve of great revolution, partly commenced
and inevitable in its results. The essential fea.
ture of this great change is to move the rich ores
on Lake superior and in Missouri TO the coal
beds of Eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania
This seems at the first glance to be wild I'M
dertaking, but has been now thoroughly tested
and found to be profitable, yielding n much high
er profit than the use of the low per cent iron
ores ofOhio and Pennsylvania. At youngstown
Ohio, they have been making iron in this way
for some time, and have made with their dry
coal, used raw in the furnace, superior quality
of pig iron, and esteemed by some equal, aud by
Others preference is given to it over the bes
quality of charcoal iron made from the native
ores of these States The Pittsburgh iron inter
est is going into the enterprise of building blas
furnaces at Pittsburgh, and conveying the Lake
Superior aud Missouri ores to be reduced will
Pittsburgh coal. This is projected upon larg,
scale there, with heavy capital There is {
furnace being erected here for the purpose o
using the Missouri ores and the Pittsburgh stone
coal 1t is being erected by rolling mill mat
on the Kentucky side of the river, opposite Gin
cnnati. Other owners Of coal property along
the Ohio river are contemplating building fur
naces and transporting Missouri ores Eyel
since my visit to Canneiton, and an inspection
of your coal, have been satisfied it is the mos
eligible and economical position for this bushes.
on the waters of the Mississippi valley.
"When in Pittsburgh about six weeks ago
the Pittsburgh iron manufacturers expressed the
opinion that with this plan fully organized there
they would need no tariff against English OF
Scotch iron"
