Says practical Scotch iron MASTER speaking of the
Deep River valley:
II am satisfied that pig iron can be made at a
cost Of nine dollars per ton in Chatham county, on
the banks Of the Deep river. One hundred and fifty
thousand dollars would suffice to buy enough of
mineral land to supply two furnaces with material
for some generations. 1t would suffice to sink the
pits, and erect two furnaces the Scottish prnci.
pie; and, as the minerals the same as in Scot
land, the plans ought to be imported from thence.
The two furnaces could make from four hundred to
five hundred tons q week-say twenty thousand
tons per annum-at cost of about ten dollars per
ton, ($200,000) Price in New York and Boston
varies from twenty two dollars to twenty-eght dol

FAILURE OF CYRUS W. FIELD.-Pink thus writes from New York city to The Charleston Courier: Among the recent fail urcs is that of Cyrus w. Field & Co., Mir Field will be remembered as the great Atlan- tic cable hero, who was drawn through Broad way amid multitude quite equal to that to witness the entry of the " Jato, or Lord Rem trew. Cyrus is said to be a cute Yankee, but he noundered when he and his cable got into mid-ocean. He failed in 1857, but it was said he paid in full, taking, however, average time of eighteen months to do it. Now he is gone by the board again, and his credi- tors were recently in solemn conclave at his office, where he showed them that he owed about two hundred thousand dollars, and had to pay it a little over fifty thousand dollars, coming out you perceive at the wrong end of the horn. He undertakes to pay twenty five cents on the mighty dollar, in payment, at nine months, twelve months and fifteen months, without security or interest, which IS by means fattering show Cyrus was at one time rich man, worth it was said, his quarter of million, but he would go outside his business he would get notorety, and so the poor creditors pay for the whistle.

pal of which was the transfer of the king dom of Eruria (the present Tuscany in Italy, to the Duke of Parma, son-in-law of of the Spanish king. The estimated o9da value of the Italian territories was lOO,Ooo,ooo1', which is the nominal value then placed on the whole territory. But the delivery was not actually made until the 2Oth of Novem- Der, 1903, after the signing of the treaty of transfer from France to the United States. The French flag continued to fly until the 20th of December. when the territory was formerly surrendered to Messrs Claiborne and Wilkinson, Commissioners of the United States.
 One foreign privilege only existed on the Mississippi after this date, which was the right of the British to free navigation, under the treaty of 1763, to the obligation of which the United States succeeded as successors ot Spain and France, as we'll as by the treaty ot l7S3, between the United States and Great Britain. The same privilege was especially confirmed and enlarged by the treaty Of lo94, between Great Britain and the United States.
 The war with Great Britain put an end to that, and renewal was refused by the Amer ica. Commissioners who negotiated the peace of 1915.
 These are all the treaties which have regu- lated the Mississippi navigation for hun dred years. By all of them the navigation has been declared free to all inhabitants on its banks, and moreover, through all that time, the doctrine of the Americans, as colo nies and as States, has been that the freedom of navigation is natural right, for which treaty stipulations are only matters of conven tent legislation

Especial dispatch to The New York Express. THE POLICY OF THE GENERAL ADMIN
 ISTR1TION.
WASHINGTON, January II.

WASHINGTON, January II. The Administration being now unit, l have the very highest authority for saying it has agreed upon the following line of action:
 l. It is believed that, in the present crit ical eXgences, the Government can only be preserved by inactivity, and not by arms. Upon this point the Executive and all the members of the Cabinet are perfectly agreed having reason to believe that there will be reaction in the South, against secession, if the secessonists are let alone. Coercion, or any step toward coercion, 1t Is admitted, must lead to bloodshed and civil war, and utterly destroy not only the few remaining chances of reconciliation, but place reconstruction of the Government entirely out of the question.
 7. Entertaining these views, the Cabinet l have come to the conclusion that the occupa- tion of the forts, arsenals, etc, in the South ern States Is, in itself, unimportant, and no attemps therefore, will be made to recover l them. This will make the northern coercion ists and northern dsunonists howl; but, as peace can not be preserved without bowling, It Is deemed better that the howl go on, than that the last chances of saving the country from destruction should be thrown away | ,. The Star of the West, with her troops, Is not to return to Charleston. Nor has the l sloop-of-war Brooklyn been ordered thithcr. There was at one tune disposition to send her there, but cooler counsels have led to a different determination.
 1. In regard to Fort Sumter as Major Armstrong reports that Major Anderson has provisions enough there to last him six months, and with men enough to enable him to resist an attack, should such be made, n- structions will be forwarded to him to adhere to a strictly defensive policy. 1.-the Admin lstratlOn had learned these facts before the Star of the West sailed, that vessel would never have been sent. Hence the dispatch of the Brook lyn-not to carry her into Charl- eston harbor, as some reports have 1t, but to bring back her troOps-thc steamer herself being left to keep on her regular voyage to Havana.
 There has undoubtedly been a formda- blc conspiracy to break up the Government at Washington by force between now and the 4th of March but the Administration are sat isfed now that it is quellcd, and that the peace will be preserved in the federal district, no matter what may happen elsewhere. If there are mischief makers i'll office, they will De decapitatcd.

To Our Friends and Readers.

With the issuance of this number of TIE UNION, have taken charge of its publication on my own responsibility. By an arrange ment with the Committee which represents the stockholders, the material and interests of the paper have passed into my hands, and l shall continue to publish it regularly every week, all reports that it is on the eve of sus- pension to the contrary; and 1 hope the friends and well-wishers of THE UNION will extend to it every encouragement in the way of subscriptions and advertisements which lies in their power.
 My interests have become identified with the State of Arkansas, and more particularly with the people of Des Arc and Prairie county, and whatever efforts I am capable of making, to advance the prosperity of ourselves, at home and the State at large, will be most cheerfully called forth. The paper is large one, well printed and contains great amount of interesting reading matter, made up of literature, home, political and commercial news-and the subscription price is only g a year. It has already a good circulation, and by little more effort on the part of friends to the general cause of journalism, TIE UNIONS list will shortly be inferior to none in the borders of our State, and the idea that only one paper has the right to attempt to make a respectable living in an Arkansas town, the size of this, will be entirely exploded.

COERCION AS VIEWED AY A REPUBLICAN

COERCION AS VIEWED AY A REPUBLICAN Tine Indianapolis Journal, the central or gan of the Indiana republicans, takes very sensible view of the policy of coercion, as ad- vocatcd by the radical republicans to prevent secession. In the last I thursdays issues, the Journal makes the following remarks on this point:
 You can not compel friendship and fra tcrnty, and if the Union is not friendly one, 1t is nothing. If 1t IS not held together by love for it and trust in its benefits, it IS no Union, whatever else it may be poorer for 1t. It will cost us much and give us nothing A subjugated province is always an element of weakness, and not unIrcquently door for ruin, until the eXasperation of defeat and humiliation have had time to wear out, and a generation arises that has forgotten the past in present blessings. Fight the Gulf States to compel them to love us well enough to stay with us. This is the absurdity at the bottom of coercion. The countervalling ar gument that the Union must be preserved is no argument at all, because the Union IS not preserved by war If it were, we would see the wisdom of coercion at once The Union, in its very life and essence, is broken to pie ces by war, and it is hopelessy broken. Peaceable seperation does not break the Un- ion half so utterly and irremediably as cocr- cion, for time will teach the slave States the folly of disunion, and bring them back, while war will put an impossible gulf of blood on the way of return forever"

State Convention.

The bill which has been passed by both Houses of our Legislature calling State Convention to consider the course of Arkan- sas in regard to the present troubles, will be found in another column. The time for vot- ing on the question of Convention has been designated as the 18th of February, and should it be decided to convene such body, the time for its meeting has been set for the first Monday succeeding the second of March Fully believing that the present State of af- fairs demands the assembling of State Con- yention, we advocate its calling together.
