meath the surface l35 feet. At Cogans open
ing, near Bedford Forge, the deposit is feet
thick, and at Bloody Run, near Bedford Rail-
road, on lands of Hon. w. T. Schell and 9TH
ers, new opening recently made by E. Tram
bath, shows the ore 10 feet thick and Of a SUI
perior quality On the same lands explorations
are being made to fully develop the fossil ore
seams.
The iron ores Of the Premeridian and Meri-
dian series warrior ridge) have not yet been
sufficiently developed in this district to determine
their size and quality. Mr.. Rogers refers to
this in his report of the Geology Of Pennsylva-
mia, Vol. 2, page 73l. For full des cription
of the ores Of this district, see Rogers Geology
of Pennsylvania, Vol. /, page 566, &C., and
Vol. 2, page 1876; at page 73l table Of anal
yses OF the Surgent ores will be found, giving
their constituent parts in great detail. The i
ron ores Of this district have been sufficiently
tested at the old furnaces to remove any doubt
as to their quality, and although no accurate
record has been kept of the depth of the mining
in the Surgent fossiliterous ores, from which to
obtain data for calculation of quantity, e.
nough is now positively known to show that
these ores can be mined (along the entire Tus-
sey mountain range to depth Of so to 80 feet
beneath their exposed outcropsi and this depth
Of mining can be reached by the ordinary drifts
or gangways at water level From careful
collection Of facts in regard to the position and
quantity of iron ores in this region, I have no
hesitation in presenting it as desirable field
for ironmakers All the materials for its man.
ufacture are accessible by railroad, and fuel in
the form Of coke, coal and charcoal, can be pro-
cured here in inexhaustble quantities The
coke from Broad Top coal is tavorably known
as very superior quality, and is judged to be
the fuel for smelling the ores Of the surrounding
valleys.
No question of supply and demand enters in
to the problem of ironmaking, for the humilia-
ting fact is well known by iron manufacturers,
that in the United States we only make about
| &C per cent of the iron required for our own
use; the balance has heretofore been imported
from England.
| If the foregoing remarks on the iron ores Of
the Broad Top Raystown Juniata district will
have the effect of drawing the attention of prac-
tical ironmakers to an investigation of its min
eral resources, the writer will have no fear Of
the result. Already the old furnaces at Para.
disc and Hopowell are being again prepared
| for work, and trust the day is not far distant
when capital and labor will fully resuscitate this
extensive source OF wealth.

Gen. Hooker's Advance and Success

WASHINGTON, May Sd.-Dispatches from
General Hooker have been received by the Pros

He has successfully crossed the Rappahan.
mock, and has severed the communications Of
the enemy between Bowling Green and Hano-
yer Court House.
The main body Of Hookers army crossed first

Falmouth under Gen. Slocum, who made de-
tour OF the enemy's position, and captured some
fifteen hundred rebels.
1t is said that our communications with Gen.
Stoneman have been cut off by guerilla bands
between Warrenton Junction and Bull Run, but
will soon be reinstated
General Hooker hopes to capture ali Of the
rebel forces north of the Pamunkoy river, and

|baintained and enforced, and that it is the duty
III the constituted authorities Of the State to
|be to it that, by oil constitutional means, this
end shall he attained.
Resolved, That the corruptions of the present
Administration are SO enormous and dangerous
10 tho welfare of the Republic, its attempts to
asurp despotic power, by throttling the free ex-
preston of public opinion, SO fagrant and out
rageous, and its conduct Of the war so barren
Of wisdom. ability, or common sense, that we
deem it imperatively necessary for the safety of
the people, and, in fact, the only hope Of the
TO effect such a party organization as
will not only succeed in voting out of power
shat Administration, but will also prevent any
of its political adherents, endorsers or apologsts
from becoming its successor.
Resolved, That we denounce the so-oalled
"Union League" as semi-secret association
gotten up for no other purpose than to continue
in power the present corrupt and abolitonized
Administration, to prolong the war, by sustain
ing those who have perverted it to An Abolition
crusade, and ft for nothing but the traducing
and ostracising of Democrats, who are the true
and tried friends of the Union.
Resolved, That we hold it indispensable, in
order to the restoration Of peace and perma-
nent re.establishment Of the Union, that Abo-
which is the cause of rebellion, must
be put down, believing that so long as this fuel
is piled upon the secession fame the fires of re-
bellion cannot be quenched, nor the fair fabric
of our Union saved from destruction.
After the adoption Of the resolutions, 0. E.
Shannon, Esq, being called upon, responded in
an able and eloquent speech, which was very
favorably received by the audience.
John Palmer, Esq, then delivered a very for
chile and stirring address, after which the meet
ing adjourned, in excellent spirits and full of en-
fhusiasm.

THREE DAYS FIGHTING.
Hooker Moves on the Enemy's Works.
Capture Of Guns Stores, Ammunition. and over
Two Thousand Prisoners
TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER.
WAsHINaroN, May 4, 1883.

=
A great battle has just been fought at
most Of the day on Saturday, and continued
with great fierceness until two o'clock on Sum
day morning, when hostIitics ceased for two
hours
At 4 o'clock the ball opened again and lasted
until 10 O'Clock yesterday forenoon, when the
enemy's batteries became silent, and the widest
cheering commenced on our extreme right and
ran along the whole line. When our informans
left the prevailing opinion was, that the enemys
ammunition was exhausted or they had been
attacked by Hooker's left wing, the force under
Gen. Sedgwick, which crossed below Freders
icksburg
Our informant says that, before he left the
field at Chancelloruille, the general result was
completely successful to our armc; that large
number of prisoners had been captured. He
hastened from the field as soon as the firing
stopped, and recrossed the river at Banks ford
and proceeded to Falmouth, opposite which
fredericksburg desperate battle was raging.
The capture of the city of Fredericksburg
and the works surrounding it, was complete
The killed and wounded on our side, in Freder.
icksburg, was comparatively small; but the
rebel rifle pits were said to be filed with killed
| and wounded rebels.
The slaughter at Chancellorville is estimated
to be large on both sides. Among the killed on
our side is Gen. Berry, of Maine. Gen. How
ard was wounded in endeavoring to rally the
German Regiments, which wavered on Satur-
day before the heavy masses of the enemy
thrown against them.
We captured many large guns, ammunition,
stores, and up to yesternoon about two thousaad
! prisoners.

An Infamous Canard.

The Abolitionists of this neighborhood are
hard up for something to make capitalof against
the editor of this paper. Unable themselves to
intimidate us, they are now busily circulating
thestory that when in Philadelphia, recently, we
were compelled 'sto take off" Democratic
badge (Copperhead) which we were wearing
Lest come people who are unacquainted with
us and who may not fully understand the NAL
ice and mendacity of the Abolition wire-work-
ers, might give credence to this story, we take
occasion now and in this manner to pronounce
it a lie oxt Of the whole cloth. We wore, when
in Philadelphia, Democratic badge,--a head
Of liberty, cut out of copper cent and encir-
cled with rims OF gold and silver, upon which
were inscribed the words democratic Curren-
cy." We wore it at our hotel and on the street
and no one ever molested US for doing SO, or
spoke to us about it, except in admiration of
the design and of tho motto. But we were in
formed by friend that one morning after we
had left the hotel, some persons made threats
that they would s'break our head if they saw
us wear it again. Those valiant personages
however, must have taken good care never to
see US again, for we wore the badge afterwards
and brought away our head unbroken from the
CITY, And, now, we give notice, that we will
wear whatever ornaments we please, whether
they are to the taste of the Aboltionists or not,
whether in Philadelphia or out of it.

A Grand Fizyle.

For weeks the Abolition ring-leaders in this
borough, had been striving to drum up q suffi.
c;ent number of their adhcrcnts to enable them
to hold public meeting, in the Court House,
on Tuesday evening last, and after the most
unrcmitting exertions and the announcement
that "a number of distinguished speakers would
be present." they succeeded in getting to-
gether enough Of their followers, to select a
few officers and, by the aid of the boys, to make
little noise inlieu of enthusiasm. The "distin-
guished speakers who ,ctrd present. were g..
w. Householder, who is great on okgartchiss
Gas he pronounces the word) "Cock Robin"
who futtered and chirruped and hoped about,
to the infinite amusement Of the Juveniles, and
Samuel L. Russell, who talked treason by de-
claring himself against the restoration of the
Union as it was, and who for want of ability
70 answer the argument of the editor of this
paper, at the Democratic meeting on the eve
ming previous, contented himself with repeating
the current falsehood about our being compel
led otake off a Copperhead badge which we
wore, when in Philadelphia. Mr.. Russell is a
great logician and we have no doubt that he
considered his repetition Of this stale lie, won
derful performance in the way of close reason
ing. It is o great pity that he did not have the
opportunity TO deliver this speech one year ago,
as, if he had done SO, we doubt not he would
have beaten Householder for Senator. We adj
rise him, by all maana to become candidate
for the next term, for if this last forensic effort
Of his will not secure him the nomination of
bis party, thon "Repnblicans" are s'ungrateful'
and can't appreciate true merit. After the u
sual clap-trap, done up in military style, by
which the Abolition tricksters try to create sem
sations, the grand zzle dissolved itself into it's
individual elements and each particular 5lacksnass
went to his hole to dream Of UncleS Sans BIRDS
prepared for his own and hs companions de-
vouring.

FROM HOOKER'S ARMY.
'errible Fight on Saturday and Hunda,

The Inquor has the following ~ special
despatch -
WASHINGTON, Sunday, NAV 2, lS63-Reka.
BILE information has reached the city this after
noon from the Army of the Potomac, going to
show that terrible engagement has been going
on Yesterday and to-day. The brilliant maneu-
vre by which the rebels have been fanked on
both sides, has been followed up by daring con
conflicts, in which our troops have been ex-
tremcly successful. During the whole of Sat-
nrday the musketry and artillery firing was alb
solutely continuous, especially on the right,
where Howard's corps was engaged.
Between midnight and o'clock this morning
(Snnday), pontoon bridge was laid between
Falmouth and Fredericksburg, and our troops,
part of the Sixth Corps, marched over and took
possession of the town, driving out the enemy.
They then advanced on the Notifications upon
the slopes, in exactly the direction of the move
of Burnside, and it is reported, that by noon
they had reached the top Of the hills. The en-
emy had left this part exposed; not expecting
an attack here his troops were Withdrawn 70
the quarter where the conflict was, already ra-
ging.
Our troops are behaving splendidly, and are
worthy of their cause and their leader. Not a
single instance of misbehavior has occurred a.
mougst any of our regiments
Gen. Hooker is constantly in the thickest Of
the fight, and his escapes from bullets have re-
allv been miraculous.
This reads somewhat like the bulletins pub.
lished Immediately after the battle Of Fredcr-
icksburg, the "change of base before Richmond"
and the defeat of Pope. IF terrible battle
'oas fought on Saturday and Sunday, why does
''the Government object to sending news of
the result ?-Epe. EVENING JounNAL1

s%METAL-TiPpED SHoEs.--Shoes are an i'm.
portant item in the expense Of clothing children,
as every parent will understand. They .inyari-
ably wear out their shoes at the toe first, and
not unfrequcntly before the other parts are a
quarter worn. Children's shoes with metal tips
never wear out at the toe, and it is safc to say
that on an average one pair with them will more
than out-wear three pairs without them. We
believe all the shoe dealers keep them.
