An Iron LETTER. Birmingham (England)
journal announces the reception of letter by
the last American mail, remarkable both as a
documentary curiosity and as a specimen of
manufacturing skill. 1t is written on iron roll
ed so thin that the sheet is only twice the
weight of a similar sheet Of ordinary note pa
per- The letter is dated "South Pttsburg,
(Pennsylvania,) November 6, 1854" and says:
"In the number of your paper dated October
l, 1864, there is an article setting forth that
John Brown & Co., of the Atlas Works, Shelf
field, had succeeded in rolling a plate Of iron
l3 l-2 inches thick. believe that TO be the
thickest plate ever rolled. / send YOU this
specimen of iron made at the Sligo Ircnworks,
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania as the thinnest iron
ever rolled in the world up to this time, which
iron l challenge all England to surpass for
strength and tenuity. This, believe, will be
the first iron letter that ever crossed the Allan
tic Ocean.-Yours, &C., JOHN G. EVANS"
The Journal says: The iron is said TO be of
exceedingly fine quality, and the sheet is by far
the thinnest ever seen in this country. The
letter will be deposited in the museum Of the
Midland Institute. Tested by one OF Holizap-
pfel's gauges the thickness of the sheet is found
TO be the one-thousandth part of an inch. A
sheet of Belgian iron, supposed hitherto tn be
the thinnest yet rolled, is the 666th part of an
inch thick, and the thickness of an ordinary
sheet of notepaper is about the 400th Of an
inch.

REBEL DEsERTIoNs We learn from an Of
ficer recently from the Army of the Potomac,
where he is in position TO know the fucts,
that the reports of rebel desertions are well
founded. An average Of forty deserters per
day came within the lines of the ninth corps
alone. From one Virginia regiment hundred
deseriers per day have come in, and the deser-
tions became so numerous that it was necessa-
ry to remove the regiment from the front.
Early in the campaign the deserters were
mainly conscrpts and those who had been
forced into the army. Now they are generally
the veterans Of the rebel army-men who have
been long in the service, and who have become
tired OF the war and satisfied that i, is useless
to prolong it, The homes of q large number
of these deserters are within our lines, and they
are glad to take the oath of allegiance and come
again unler the protection of the old Hag.
The rebel commanders sdopt every expedi-
ent to prevent the desertons which are so rap
idly depicting their armies. The four men at
each picket post are drawn from different COM
panes, and the most stringent orders are is
sued TO shoot every man who is caught in the
act nj deserton. But this does not prevent
the disheartened soldiers flom coming ~ nithin
our lines, nor hinder the rebel army from be-
iEg reduced much faster than il can be rein
forced with conscrpts. This is another indica-
tion that the end is approaching ng.-Boston

The Effect Of the War on Agriculture.

The war is destined to make great changes
lin the social condition of American farmers.
Hitherto they have not occupied that position
which is accorded to agriculturiss in older
countries. With cheap land, dear labor and
low prices, farming has not been as remunera-
tive as many other nvocalions. Wealth has
accumulated in cities and villages rather than
in the country. and farmers themselves have
not been indisposed TO their sons engaging in
trade rather than in agriculture. The war will
change all this. Trade adds little or nothing
to our national wealth. 1t is true that we must
have "middle men"-men who make living
by buying from those who wish 10 sell, and
selling TO those who wish TO buy-but it is not
desirable that so much OF the labor Of the coun-
try should he occupied in this way.
Since the war commenced large fortunes have
been made in trade, and this has caused an in
fux of young men to the cities. The tide,
however, is now turning. The wnr-the most
gigantic and expensive Of modern times-hos
absorbed SO much of the labor of the country,
that the non-producing classes are -IsIaSively
vastly more numerous than ever befGf. We
produce less and consume more than during a
period of peace. Prices are regulated by sup
ply and demand. With the tens and hundreds
of thousands that have left the farm for the ar
my, the supply must be less and the demand
greater. Prices, therefore, must ADVANCE
Trade cannot be as profitable as a whole, as it
has hitherto been. The intelligence of the
country must be turned to agriculture. 1t sup
ports all other interests. This has always been
the case, but we have during long peace in
creased so vastly in material prosperity that
those who could supply us with luxures have
obtained more liberal compensation than
those who furnished the mere necessaries of

1t will be seen that it m kes grea, differ
ence to the poor women whether they work for
the government or contractors, who are com
PEELED by their competition with one another to
reduce the pay of their employees. The women
say that the contractors 'skimp' their work,
cut the capes short, the waists short, and then
if anything is said, blame the women who make
up the work, and are ready to swear that they
stole il. 1t was stated that the names Of eight
thousand women, applicants Tor work, were on
the books of the Arsenals, and that there is an
average of four children depending on each
woman for support. The government gains
nothing by employing contractors as the work
is not so well done, and there is cheating in
variety of ways, as inimaled above. The wo-
men were severe in denouncing contract work.
and declared that by it they would sarye by
inches, while contractors were loading them
selves down with bushels of greenhacks. A
committee of three was appointed to go to
Washington and lay the matter before the
President.-BoSt0n Jomnul.

THE SEWING WOMEN OF PHILADELPHIA
The sewing women Of Philadelphia held a
meeting on Thursday evening, which was very
largely attended, for the purpose of remor FRA
ting agains, the government giving the work
of making up army clothing to contractors. 1t
appears that large amount of work has hither-
10 been given out to the sewing women at the
Arsenal in Philadelphia, but in consequence Of
the introduction of the contract system the
quantity is greatly diminished and will proba-
bly, soon dwindle down to nothing. The diff.
ference between government prices and con-
tractors prices was stated as follows:

with much more to the same effect. Such is
the language of the lawyers, and it is gravely
held by the most learned men among them,

right TO the said orange would not pass to the
person for whose use the same was intended.

REMAnKAnLr ExrLosIoN or AN ON WELL.

REMARKABLE EXPLOSION OF AN OIL WELL.
"A, Mr.. Jacob Grove, of Georges Creek, Fay
ette county, Pennsyly ania, was engaged on
Monday last in boring for oil on his farm, the
auger struck upon deposit which began at
once 10 rush upward with irresistible force, aow-
ing over the ground and saturating everything
in the vicinity. A stream of hydrogen gas ac-
companied the oil, making loud noise and
filling the atmosphere. Finally, coming into
contact with stove in a shanty little distance
off, terrific explosion ensued, fortunately in
juring no one. The flames darted into the air
sixty feet high, threatening general destruct-
ion. 1t soon gave in, however, and the men
mcceeded in exIinguishing it before any seri-
Gus damage was done. For some time the
most lively alarm prevailed, and it is safe to
predict that the engineers boring on Georges
Creek for oil will take the precaulion in iuture
to put out all the fires in the neighborhood
while at work.

MAGNIFICENT PRoJECT.-It is stated that a
number Of the capitalists of New York have in
contemplation plan 10 present two thousand
millions of dollars to the government, and thus
relieve the nation from indebtedness. The gift
is proposed to be made in 100000 shares of
$4,000, of which A. 7. Stewart will take fifty,
and VIM. b. Astor fifty, and many others in
proportion, and it is thought that quarter of
the amount might he raised in New York city.
Could this project be realized it would compel
the respect Of foreign countries, and place the
United States of America in the proudest posi-
ton ever occupied by any nation of the earth.
