OPINION OF THE ENGLISH PRESS. N.
!s n'' We have read Mr. Fl. S. Brown s Lectur-
es with much satisfaction. Mr. Brown
knows how to speak to the people. He. has
almost every quail fcation for it, if We may
Judge from his printed addresses There rs
no maudlin sentimentality about him but an
is healthful as the breeze on the hill I.ss There
is no clap-trap he is both too honest AMI too
earnest for that. There is Meth Pharisaics
scorn Of vice, nor any eHeminate apoligizingg
Tor it, but q wise Christian mans hatred OF it,
d who knows how to look on those who are sim
degraded as his brethren. He speaks to the
people almost as one Of themselves, only from
o higher level; and though he uses their dali
~ phrases, yet he does not thereby pander to
vulgarity. He has happy Acquaintance with
our holnely common sense proverbs, and EN-
ploys them tellingly. There is no Safectation
Of extraordinary concern for the poor or
their souls; tIb but there is that real manly
concern which can afford to dispense with
profession, and to ex press itself IN calm but
brave and sensible earnest endeavoMrs. The
proyerb, Much cry and little wool, you may
reverse in his case. His true desire to benefit
the people IS partly shown BY the pains with
which he collects and repares the statistics 81
vice, poverty, disease, &c., in order that his
Well-n,arshalle led facts may preach to the under

direction Individuals cannot direct it COM
merce will not do it the States have become
sedentary forces and the Federal Government,
the common Government Of all the States, which
alone is responsible for this great work, and
alone possesses the power and can control the
means, must secure to the public activity the
needful direction to attain that end.
Nv words are intended, Mr.. President, rather
to bring together, if possible, the friends and
supporters Of this measure, than to win new
friends to its behalf. | have only one other
thought to express. Every Senator may natu-
rally desire, that when he shall retire from
public life, he shall leave behind him some
monument of his patriotism, of his wisdom, and
of his devotion to the interests Of bis country
and to civilization. | can conceive of no monu-
ment which would be at once so imposing and
so lasting as a single vote cast in favor of this
great enterprise, emphatically the enterprise of
our country and of our age. 1t was pleasant to
me the other day to see, that when we came upon
questions of political relations towards those
very distant countries, China and Japan, there
were peace, harmony, and agreement, in the
Senate of the United States. 1t seems to me
now that this great tract of unoccupied lands,
waste, desolate, stretching away between US and
the Pacific coast, is so distant from the North,
go distant from the South so separated from us,
So isolated, so new and strange to us all, that we
can meet there as in common field, leaving all
our jealousies and contentious behind US, and
improve it for the common benefit of our pos
terity, and for the welfare and happiness of the
human race. Whoever shall come into that field,
in that spirit, will entitle himself to the praise
which the Roman historian gave to that states
man whom, above all others, he honored and
loved " He was moderate in acting for himself;
but, when acting for the Commonwealth, was
dignifed and effective"

am satisfied that pig iron can be made at a
cost of SO per ton in Chatham county, on the
banks of Deep river. One hundred and fifty
thousand dollars would suffice to buy enough
ofmineral lands to supply two furnaces with
materials for some generations. 1t would sut-
fee to sink the pits and erect two furnaces on
the Scotch principle \ and as the minerals are
the same as in Scotland, the plans ought to be
imported from thence, The two furnaces could
make 400 to 500 tons week, say 10000 tons per
annum. at a cost of about 100000. Price in
New York and Boston varies from $22 to $2S
per ton. WILLIAM GENNELL.

Chatham is the trail county of North Caro-
Ina, by actual measurement 1t is elevated
and healthy, abounding in fine water and nu-
merous streams. Like the middle part of the
State generally, it resembles New England,
waile the soil and climate are much more ia
vCrable to fertility. 1t is a fine grain-growing
district, and the very place for Northern enter
p Use to take hold of and improve.
The number of acres of improved land in
ia rms, in 1850, was 1860; unimproved in
ia ms, 3O9,63l. The total white population
