AN iron.clad ship of war, the Moyini
zafir, recently built in the Thames for
the Turkish government, has been sx-
citing the attention Of the Eaglish en-
gineers, who claim that an effective
antagonist to the monitors has at last
been constructed. 1t appears, however,
that the frame of this new vessel can
only sustain iron plates six inches
thick, while the double turretsd mon
itors built in the United States will sup
port an iron casing 10 inches thick
and iron turrets With walls Is inches
thick. The classmates of the Turkish
ship will carry only four Armstrong
l2.tou rifed guns, while the American
monitors can be mounted with four "a.
ton guns, and in fact, with the heaviest
guns that can be made. In addition to
impregnability and weight of guns, the
monitors excel the Turkish iron.clsd il
range. The turrets of the monitor 70
volvs, and the four guns can be trained
to any point in the horizon, while thu
Armstrong guns in their rival are linn
tied to 90 degrees. Taking all thes'
points into confederation, it is asserted
that the actual efficiency of the two
,ur,e,ed monitor, as compared with tina
of tho casemate ship, is as 4os to ll5
or s.5 to l. One Of the main objection
to the monitors, that "thc joint between
the turret aud the deck cannot DO mad
secure" it is contended has no founda
ton in fact.

THE WORKING MAN.

TIE noblest men l know on earth
Are men whose hands are brown with
toll;
Who, backed by no ancestral groves,
Hew down the wood and till the soil;
And win thereby a prouder name
Than follows king or warriors fame.
The working men, whate'er their task,
WHO carve the stone or bear the hod,
They bear upon their honest brow,
The royal stamp and seal Of God;
And worthier are their drops Of sweat
Than diamond. in 4 coronet.
God bless the noble working men,
Who rear the cities Of the plain,
Who dig the mines, who build the ships,
And drive the commerce of the main.
God bless them; for their toilinG hands
Have wrought the glory Of all lands.

LIeur WINES AND THMPERANcs.-Bay-
ard Taylor, The great lecturer, in a late
lecture in Cincinnati charged it to tho
temperance reformsrs that they do not
present. facts as they really are, but dis.
tort them to answer their purpose. He
thought they injured their own cause by
so doing, for calm and sensible people
soon detected their sophistry and re.
fused their countenancs to n movement
which presented only one side Of the
question. 1t is now nearly thirty years
since the idea Of total abstinence was
brought into existence, and while it had
agilated society and affected the laws OF
States for all that time, the proportion
of habitual drunkards had been steadi-
ly on the increase. This fact he attrib-
u,ed to political interference, the great
reliance of ignorsnt parents on the eti-
cacy Of temperance societies, and the
attempts of those engaged 10 the move
ment to have The prohibition laws
passed, which BIO held WAS calculated to
begst a feeling Of stubborn opposition
to tho whole scheme in the breasts Of
men. who considered themselves comps-
tent to take care Of their own bodies.
He knew what the ravages Of stroag
drink were, aud he fully believed that
total abstinence was the only safeguard
for a man who could not control his
appetite. But he had little faith in the
ability Of Legislatures to regulate the
evil by the enactment Of laws. The re-
suit Of his observations was that as the
use of light beverages increased, drunk
enness decreased. The modern Greeks
were the most temperate people he
knew, yet nearly all of them, men, wo-
men and children, drank light wines
daily. He would not say anything
about the use Of tobacco, because he
did not consider it to be Of much conse.
queucs. The weed was, to be suro,
injurious to some people, but he consid.
cred it harmless when compared with
pork.fat pies.

Alabama Ore.
From the Memphis Avalanche.

From the Memphis. Avalanche.
Several specimens of Iron and Head
ore and Jumps of coal are on exhiMtion
at the Chamber of Commerce. They
were brought to the city yesterday by
Major w. J. Sykes, by whom they
were picked up directly from their beds
in Alabama, where they lie in vast
quantities, only waiting for capital and
labor to develop their immense value
and worth. The coal is found in Fay
cite, Stanford and Walker counties,
and occupies an area of forty miles
square, where their solid formations
can be easily mined in any desired
quantity. When railroads pass through
this vast field of wealth coal can be
transported to Memphis or any part of
West Tennessee cheaper than from any
other quarter. The coal region proper,
commences at North river, in Fayette
county, and extends eastwardly across
the Warrior river, within ten miles of
Elyton, a distance of over forty miles.
The river and creek bottows are, in
many instances, pure coal, while mar
bic, lead and stone of all descriptions is
to be found from the Mississippi line to
Elytcn, a distance of one hundred
miles. The iron in this part of Ala
bama is pronounced superior to any in
America, and there is sufficientsin the
region mentioned to supply this country
for centuries to come. Just Beyond
Elyten stands the Shade mountain,
forty miles long, another vast field of
mineral wealth, full of iron ore, marble
and every description of stone. When
railroads are finished and manufactures
established here and in the region above
mentioned, who will be able TO compute
their value?

Terrible Accident.

A fire broke ont OH the morning of
the 9th inst, i'm the flue and bottom
shaft of a coal mine near Plymouth,
Pa, destroying the outbuildings ana
all avenues of escape for the miners.
There We're not less than 139 nor
more than 80 people inthe mine when
the accident occurred. Some of the
men who went down the shaft reported
that the fire i'm the furnace was all out.
The presumption was, when fire broke
out the miners kept their senses, and
having dragged the fire fled TO the
upper chambers, closing the doors be-
hind them. Surprising this to he true,
the rescuers proceeded on the simple
plan of forcing fresh air into the mine.
This was continued until four o'clock
in the afternoon, when party Of men
penetrating two hundred feet and
and opening the doors, made he dis
covery that the fire was still burning
i'm the furnace, and had even ignited
the coal-pile outside. Those under
standing the situation, upon hearing
this fact, saw in an instant that all
hone was at an end, and that ali that
could be done was to drag the miners
from their fiery tomb to a christian
burial. A change of operations was
then instantly decided on. 1t was de-
termined to direct immediate effort to
the extenguishment ofthe fire. Means
are now being arranged to that end,
and the night will be occupied 10y del
uripg the mine with water.
