Mr., G. ". sismen has patented in England q
process for producing c~asIsteel ans iron directly
from the ore by exposing the ore, in a finely
divided state, TO the rich hydrocarbons pereo-
late through the mass Of ore in a transverse
direction tOwaTds the heated surface. BY The
passage % Tie gases the ore is reduced and car
bombed, and the melting surface Of the mass
being e~nveloped in an atmosphere Of reducing
gas or dam6 the re~OEydRti0n Of tho reduced

A ahipmaster, whose vessel carried n cargo OF
cotton recently from New Orl6ansto Liverpool,
exhibited in the latter city q box OF lucifer
matches, which was accidentally discovered in
q bale OF cotton which was being placed on the
vessel at New Orleans. Whether the matchts
were placed in the bale hy accident or design is
not known, but 70 is said this IS not the nrst
time such 2 discovery has heen-made.
The cheerful promises OF Abolition fnRnciers
Of abundant crops and low prices says the
CriSiS, which greeted the ears from al sides,
during the summer OF this year, AS they did
last, are, Ike all other promises Of thai party,
tall4cious. II is now admitted that so far as the
average crOps-au others are far short OF the
usual yielu-and wheat is largely finding its
way into the hands Of the agents OF the Ma
Banks, TO be m-onopolized by them and

are derived from the soil.
Cotton will not probably be more than a third

with years before Ae war, while tho eneOur-
given TO Us production, by the Adolf
IL Ind a, South America, Egypt, etc, 1
lnder the cheaper labor OF CoOlie slaves, intro
iuced there 10y English and other ~philanthro- /
Dists, has brought down the price here 10 about
cents in greenbacks or about thirteen
;ents.n gold, which after deducting the cotton
is about equal to whatit brought before the
var, when IL could be grown for one-lhird Gifts
present cost And as the Degrles become more
worthless every year under Congressional regu-

The Newburyport BergId says the manfaetur-
corpoFA tons In New England for the max

iadly. Only those with the most approved
machinery, OF at work on fancy goods, are pay
ng their way.
