The rlahonine lIron Merks.

The Mahoning Iron W orks of Messrs. Brown,
BonnelI, & Co., are about being enlarged by the
addition of Ga feet to the present mill to ac-
commodate fourteen new nail machines and
other necessary machinery, with an engine for
the use of the nail factory exclusively. As IL
lustrative ofwbst a well managed successful
Iron Mill does to build up and give employ
ment, and the grand results of converting ores
into useful articles of general demand, we clip
as follows of the MahOning Works from the
Register -
When completed, the mill proper will be 275
by 80 feet, with boiler-house, sheds, &c, at
tached. In close proximity to this, they have
scrap-house, blacksmith shop, carpenter shop
and keg factory. Also warehouse, so by 20
feet extending TO the canal. The Offices are To-
Gated in this building, and here the iron and
nails are stored ready for shipping.
The Company have now in operation, run
ming double turns, 9 pudding furnaces. heat
ing furnaces, 2 furnaces for heating nail and
spike iron, and l6 nail machines, together with
all the necessary rolling machinery to make the
various kinds and sizes of iron Also, lathes,
dc, for building and repairing all their own
machinery. The Company expect, this year,
to employ from lbs to l55 hands constantly, to
consume some Is, 600 tons ofcoal from the Crab
Creek mines of Messrs. Crawford & Murray,
and 5000 tons ofpig metal manufactured ky
themselves at the Brier Hill Furnace. They
have the capacity, and expect to turn out, dur
ing the present year, 1000 tons of iron, COM
prising bar, round, square, hoop, DC, of all
sizes, and &c, 900 kegs Of nails, spikes, dc. The
bulk of this viii be sold to western dealers in
Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and other lake
ports.
The constantly increasing reputation of the
iron and nails from these Works, at home and
abroad, makes the improvements now in pro-
gress indispensably necessary, to enable the
Company to fill their orders. This, for the
past two years, they hEve been unable to accom-
plish with their present facilities. That this
will continue to be the case, increase their mill
as they may, we think is quite obvious, for sew
eral reasons. Some of these we will name
The first is, the members of the firm are all
thorough, practical men, who give their atten-
ton to their business In all its minutie, and are
gentlemen of sterling business integrity. An
other reason Is, that the materials and adyan-
tages of the Mahoning Valley, for the manu-
facture of iron, are nowhere equaled. Hence
the unbounded success of this Company, and
the reputation of their ''wares"
From present Indications, we think wa hax.

not far distant when Youngstown will rank, in

CoIored Americans for Africa.

1t has been announced that party of intel
Egent and enterprizing colOred citizens, mostly
of Cleveland, propose to visit Africa this season,
some of them with view of making that coun-
try their immediate home, and others with the
intention of making personal examination of
its advantages for eolored settlers from the
United States, and who propose to return and
report to their free countrymen who are desi-
rOus of removing to some land of refuge where
the rights of manhood and citizenship are en-
joyed by all without respect to color or skin.
Messrs. MUNsos and DRAPER, well and favor
ably known in this city, who are enlisted in
the enterprise, are desirous of conferring with
such as favor it, and submitting to them state
ment of the objects to be attained, and the aid
and encouragementne necessary to their realization.
For this purposes meeting of citizens will be
held at the old Court House this evening, which
will be addressed by Mr.. VIZ. MUNsoN, and
others 1t is to be hoped that there viii be a
full attendance, for the proposed enterprise

Question of Privilege.

We clip the following from the Official report
in the Statesman of the House proceedings on
the 10th inst:
| Mr.. Parsons rose to question of privilege,
in relation TO a communication in The Cincinnati
Enquirer, charging him with having printed a
speech in Tuesday mornings STATE JOuTaGl, that
he never delivered in the House, and also charg-
ing that said speech was the joint production of
Gov. Chase Mr. Dennison, Auditor Wright, Mr..
Cook, and other Republicans, who violated the
Sabbath day in aiding Mr.. Parsons to write said
speech Mr.. Parsons said in justice to the
gentlemen charged as above, he wanted to
brand the statement a falsehood. That nei-
ther of the gentlemen named had been to his
room at all, and with none had he slightest
communication in regard to his speech. He
further said that the speech loGS reported and
published rerbatim ct IacrGtin, or as nearly so
as speech could be reported. He therefore
branded the whole article read from the Clerks
desk, as falsehood, and charged the Reporter,
the young man by the name of Hurden, with
writing it, knowing it to be falsehood
Mr.. Parsons called upon Mr.. Andrews, of
Auglaize, and requested him to state whether he
heard the speech as delivered, and had read the
same since printed and $50, whether they were
Identical
Mr.. Andrews replied. l heard the speech
delivered, and have read the same since 1t was
printed While think Mr.. Parsons was very
foolish in allowing the personal remarks in his
speech to be printed, justice compes me to state,
that the speech as printed was the one deliv-
cred, or as nearly so, as speech could be re-
ported.

sale of poisons--The Law.


The alarmingly frequent and increasing use
of poisons in the destruction Of human life by
suicide and murder, should make druggists
exceedingly careful in their sale. They often
fall into improper hands; and the recent sui
eide of young lady in Cincinnati by stryeh-
nine, purchased and swallowed in a moment OF
dependency, would not have occurred had the
druggist complied with the law in relation 10
the sale of poisons The law should be faith
fully observed, and when not, its penalties rig
idly enforced. The second section of an Act
passed April, 1852, provides as follows:
''That every apothecary, druggist or other
person, who shall sell or give away, except
upon the prescription Of physician, any ar
ticle or articles of medicine belonging to the
class usually known as pOisons, shall be requir-
ed LIST, To register in book kept for that pur-
pose, the name, age, sex and color of the per-
son obtaining such poison; I'd, The quantity
sold; Sd, The purpose for which it is required
4th, The day and date on which it was obtain
ed; 5th, The name and place of abode of the
person for whom the article is intended; 9th,
To carefully marx the word poison upon the
label or wrapper of each package; 9Th, To neith-
er sell or give away any article of poison to mi
nors of either sex"
The penalty for violation of any of the pro-
visions of this act, is fine of not less than
twenty nor more than two hundred dollars, at
the discretion of the Court.

"NEGRoEs ABOVE THE IRISH AND GERMANS"
| EDIroR OF THE PLAIN DEALER You seem
to lay great stress on the recent act Of the Mas
sachusetts Legislature, su6jecting the foreigner
to two years residence in the State before he
can be legal voter, and naturally and good
naturedly attribute it to the iIliberaI policy of
the Republican" party.
To the honor of the Democracy that lras be
it said, it never attempted anything like this;
bat the Democracy that is--that which has
been famed and fed into life from the dying
embers of Known Nothingism-ha shown itself
as proscriptive as the Legislators of Massschu-
sets dare do. The quoted caption at the head
of this article may seem strange to some, but
there are many who reduce this repulsive theo-
ry to simple practice. When the late Demo
cratic Congress sat in Washington, two Irish
men were employed to make fires and do the
cleaning, for which they received twelve shiI-
lings per day respectively; but when that same
Congress was satisfedly seated the two Irish
men were displaced to make way for two ne
groes, who got $50 per month for doing the
same work.
on are aware tnat the Irish vote" helped
to elect Mr.. Buchanan; in fact some are SO
hopelessly and incurably ignorant as to think
that were it not for this same 'yote" he would
be enjoying the title of"retired gentleman to-
day; and you are also aware that eighty mil
lions of dollars are annually spent to ''save the
Union,'' out of which these same faithful Irish |
receive for sub-elerkships, the sum of four hun
dred and eightyJfve thousand dollars. You |
know, too, that while the honest men of botk |
parties united In the House to pass the ''Home
stead Bill" thereby paralyzing speculation in
Western land and giving l60 acres to every in |
dustTious citizen, that that same bill was killed
in the Democratic Senate.
The sour truth is, Mr.. Gray, both parties
despise these Dutch and Irish; neither care but |
for our votes, and the writer is wicked enough |
TO think that if the blacks of the country were /
voters, the Democrats as well as the 'Republi-
cans" would shake hands with them, ask them
to drink, praise them for the smoothness of
their skin, and compliment them for their &C.
centricities and jovial peculiarities. Such then
being the case, the thoughtful Irish and Ger
mans are determined to vote in future for hon
est, capable men, irrespective of party, provided
suoh have never been members of the Independ-
ent Order of the Star Spangled Banner, vulgar.

DroWnedl

1t becomes our painful duty to record an
other case of death by drowning-that of a
young man named r. w. Woodruff, in the
Cottonwood River, at the fording, a little
over mile south of this place, on Monday
last. He, in company with his cousin, Jer-
emiah Woodruff, was returning from Leav-
enworth, to their claims, near Chelsea, on
Walnut creek, in an OK team. They passed
through town on Monday morning and ap-
preached the stream about ten or eleven
O'Clock. and found that it had risen to a
considerable hight above the usual stage of
water from the heavy rains on Saturday
night and Sunday previous. They halted
and held short consultation as to whether
they should attempt to cross. R. w. tho't
there was no danger and told his cousin to
drive into the stream, little thinking that
be was so near eternity. When they had
gone too far to turn their team around, they
found that the water was about six feet deep
instead of three, and the current very swift.
The oxen and wagon were Immediately swept
down stream, and the latter upset. The
oxen became disengaged from the wagon,
and the two young men were left to save
their lives by swimming ashore. Both
were poor swimmers, and 1t seemed impos-
sible fer them to get out of the current, it
being SO rapid. After time R. w. find
ing his strength failing hiHa, caught his
companion by the shoulder. when the latter
told him he feared tkey should both be
drowned. Thereupon he released his hold
and started for the wagon, which was some
distance off and still being carried farther
from his grasp by the swift current. Jere-
miah succeeded in reaching the shore, and
on turning around to look for his compan-
ion found. alas! that he had disappeared
de had sunk to rise no more. The sur
wing party Immediately communicated the
sad intelligence to the neighbors, and to the
citizens of this place, several of whom went
down, but found that the. stream, was so
high as to render all efforts to obtain the
body futile. Mr.. W. was single man,
about twenty-five years of age, was a good
citizen. and held in high esteem by all who
knew him. The body has not yet been re-
covered, but we learn that search will be
instituted on Monday, when it is hoped the
water viii have fallen enough to render the
attempt successful.
