The Great Steam Ham mer.

A London paper describes an immon Sc
steam hammer now being made by
Messrs. Nasmyth & Co, of PaticrOft 1t
is of gigantic proportions, and will strike
"a blow equal to seventy-iive tons. This
of course will require an immense anvil
block, and the process of casting one for
it weighing two hundred tons, was a
work of unusual interest. The process
of manufacture was as follows:
The iron was melted in two large pat
tent upper tuyere cupola furnaces, twen-
ty-four feet in height and seven feet in
diameter The molten metal was ran
Into mould in 4 constant stream, sup
piled alternately from each furnace
The process occupied ten hours The
metal was kept in state of fusion by
means of burning charcoal until the
whole quantity was poured in. The an
vii block measures twelve feet square at
the base, and twelve feet six inches in
depth. The figure is pyramidical, and it
is cast base upward. The metal con
tans certain proportion of Bcssemer
steel The huge casting is not likely to
be perfectly cold at three months hence,
and it will certainly not be reduced to a
sufficiently low temperature to be dealt
with under two months When cold
enough it will be turned over The bed
for the reception Of the block will be
enclosed in "a large circular wrought-iron
cyliBdcr measuring twenty feet in depth
and eighteen feet in diameter This
will be sunk in the ground and filled
with concrete, and, when finally depos-
tied in its bed, the anvil will appear
about two feet six inches above the
gronnd

The Cholera in Constau,inopIc

A correspondent writing from Constan-
tnople says of the deaths by cholera;
Fifty thousand is fair estimate, inclu-
ding all quarters of the city--the militia
ry garrison and the naval contingent -
More than one hundred Thousand per-
sons beside5 have fled from the city -
This number of deaths, in addition to
those who have fled, III a population of
million, has changed the city from a
busy mart of trade to city of the dead
and diving. Whole families have been
swept off in a day, aud hundreds of
houses left tenantless 1know several
Egnlish families where the father and all
the children have died within a week.
know of family which consisted of a
grand father, his son, his sons wife and
four children. No cholera had appeared
in their quarter of the city; but sudden
" it came, and in two days left the old
grandfather the sole living representa-
tive of the family Certain quarters have
suffered so severely that the surviving
inhabitants have left their houses, their
unburied dead-everything not easily
moved-and have fed in dismay TO open
fields beyond the city. At certain points
dead bodies, in some cases uncof1ned and
naked, have literally been piled up by
scores waiting transportation to the bu-
rial places One of the cholera hospitals
on the old city wall next the sea had a
slide arranged down which the dead bo-
dies were shot into boats to be buried in

LAKE SUPERIOR MINEs-The late ac
counts from the copper mining regions
are quite encouraging. The product OF
the Pewable mine during the month OF
August was 110t tons The Pittsburg
yielded 10 tons in July and the estimate
for August is about thesame The Cen
trail has got out nearly 400 tons in the
past four months. 1t tiathought that the
total product of the Lake Superior mines
this year will be not far from ten thou
sand tons. The Huron and Copper Falls
mines are reported to be doing splendid
ly, in stamp and barrel work, and the
letters from the Franklin and Quincy
mines foreshadow satisfactory dividends
from the profits of the current six
months Some few of the numerous
class of smaller mines are said to be do
ing pretty well, but it is doubtful if
they, at present, are earning more than
their expenses, and very possibly num-
ber of them may be again running in
debt so as to require an increase of capi.
tai, or further assessments, to be levied
upon the stockholders, in order to carry
on operations, and pay salaries. There
is good demand for ingot copper, for
domestic consumption,a and it will proba-
bly, be wanted for export, if exchange
should rise 50 as to make it profitable to
substitute the baser for the more prec-
ious metal.

The radicals are becoming rabid.
Read what their chief organ, the 4nti-
Slare,y Standard, of Sept. l6, says under
the head of white Reconstruction"
This is white Amn's country, and
by God, while am President it shall
be a,white mans Government" 1t is
in such words-inhuman and atheistic
words-that Andrew johnson, within a
few days has announced his convictions
and policy. They were spoken to Gov
ernor Fletcher of Missouri. The Presi-
dent has taken just Sne-half of the
celebrated declaration Of General Sher-
man in his letter to Colonel Bowman
Sherman did not hesitate to avow his
contempt for the negro and bis belief
that the white man rongLt to- rule the
country, but" added .the great soldier,
"it Won invite the negro to helpto save
the country, then you give him a claim
to help to govern It also. The hand
that drops the musket has a right to
grasp the ballot" But Andrew john
son, lacking. as Sherman lacks, the
conscience which should impel him to
recognize the manhood of the negro,
lacks also the logical honesty OF Sherman,
and though he knows the negro has
saved the Republic, resolves to give him
no share in its Government. The an
nouncement of his purpose is but the
reaching of the poiut whittier he has
been tending since thu, hrst fatal step OF
his administration-the North Carolina
proclamation 1t is putting into a
compile of lines the speech of column
made OH Monday TO the Southern dele
CATION at the White House. 1t is taking
oft the mask of respect for State rights
under which he has heretofore sheltered
his reconstruction policy, and reveals
that policy in its hideous deformlty,
based upon Andrew Johnson's own
personal hatred of the negro the hatred
of the poor white Of Tennessee for
race whose industry, moral worth, manIl-
ness, and capacity for development
made it, even in slavery, perpetual re-
proach to the class from which the
President sprung Outgrowing his
caste in many things, he has not ont
grown its hostility to tue black"
