Manufacture of Iron.

The New York Tribune has the following
item relative to newly-discovered process
in the manufacture of iron, to which we call
the attention of those who make and use
the article:
I'VE have been shown various specimens of
iron and steel made by new process discovered
by De- viliiana Fisld., OF wilnai.rto on, Dslavare
That they are all Of extraordinary excellence no
one at all familiar with iron can doubt after
seeing them, and from the steel have been man
ufactured files, razors, etc., of the finest quality
This iron is made from very common pig, by
the addition Of certain chemicals In the process
of pudding, whereby oil sulphur and phospho-
rus is eliminated and banished at cost of
seventy to eighty cents per ton of iron.
"Dr. Field says that he can thus make supe.
rior iron of any Pig. and at a triHing expense.
That shown us was exhibited side by side with
the famous Lowmoor (British) iron sold here at
twenty-one cents per pound, and 1t is fully its
equal and it challenges comparison with the
best Norwegian or Swedish iron. DR.. F. claims
a like superiority for his pig iron, and that his
castings are five times as strong as those made by

The Cuban Question.

The arrival in New York of the brother
of General QUEsADA, has occasioned another
flood of Cuban editorials Take up what
paper you may, and the word Cuba stares
you in the face. The New York Sun, too,
has revived the report that the government
of this country wishes to buy Cuba, and
extracts from English papers are given show
ing that England is willing for the United
States to take Cuba. Upon the strength of
these declarations many journals wish to see
Cuba bought, or, failing that, to see the
United States recognize her independence.
Other journals, still more sanguinary, advo-
cate the aid of Cuba by force of arms, if
necessary.
We hope the government will not be in
fuenced by the clamor with which it is
assailed, but will pursue strictly impartial
course.
If the Cubans are worthy of freedom, they
can easily obtain it. They have no ex-
tremely powerful foe to contend with, and,
if determined, can secure their independence
Our sympathies are with the Cubans, but
we do not wish to see the United States en-
tangle itself by championing any people.
We have just recovered from war of our
own, and have to recover that which we
have lost during the last ten years. We are
in no condition to seek quarrels.
Those who are so eager to see the United
States embroiled in a foreign war, do not
think of, or do not care for, the consequent
ces. To speak plainly, we are unable to go
to war, and to do SO would be our financial
ruin.
We have in Europe over twelve hundred
million dollars worth of bonds The hold
ers of these bonds are keen men who know
that so long as this country is at peace, the
bonds are good. They know the great re-
Cooperative power of America, and have
trusted to it in buying the bonds which
they hold
But they also know that with our i'm
mense debt we cannot afford to pay the cost
of another war.
Hence, the moment that we enter upon a
foreign war, these bonds will be poured in
upon us, and will be worth nothing. This
done, the credit of the nation will be de-
stroyed, and we shall be unable to raise
money enough to conduct war.
The immediate result will be financial and
commercial ruin, and the distress of our
people.
As to Cuba itself, we do not think that
the United States would do wisely in paying
money to buy the Island. We have enough
territory now, and cannot afford to buy
more.
Nor is there any definite grounds for be-
Geving that the Cubans desire to be annexed
to the United States. But if they do desire
that Cuba shall become part of the United
States, let them first win their independence,
and then ask admittance.

Canada.


The arrival of Prince ARTHUR in Canada,
and the reception ceremonies consequent
upon his coming, have caused attention
to be directed toward Canada. 1t is we'll
known that the Canadians have long been
dissatisfied with their political status, and
that their dissatisfaction has been openly
and loudly expressed.
Canada is not content to be mere COLONY
of Great Britain. She wishes for some voice
in the selection of her rulers, and does not
like them to be put over Canada without
Canadians being at all consulted in the
matter.
The French population are the most dis
contented with English rule. They have no
love for England, the traditional hatred
having been handed down from father to
son since Canada first came under English
control. But the native born Canadian of
English descent are not much more fayora.
BILE to the continuance of the present system
of Government than are the French Cana.
dians.
Annexation to the United States has been
freely and openly discussed and has found
strong advocates in every class Of society.
ty. That Canatia VIII eventually belong
to the United States cannot be doubted, but
some time must elapse before the thing is
accomplished.

Cotton.

Cotton, says the New York Herald, is still
In state OF uncertainty. A breadth of land
has been planted this year sufficient to justi-
fy the estimate of yield of nearly or quite
three and aquarter million q, $50, OOW bales.
But when we remember our experience of
last year, we are cautioned against being too
sanguine. The crop of 1868 wss confident
ly estimated last August at considerably in
excess of two and a half million (s,5O0, 000)
bales, but the realization is considerably
short of that quantity, chiefly owing to
marked and unlooked-for deficiency in the
yield of Texas. This year, especially in the
upland regions, severe drought has been ex-
perienced. Although cotton is a dry-weath-
er plant, it has not escaped injury from this
cause, and is peculiarly susceptible from
heavy prolonged rains which are likely to
follow dry period. Still, it is admitted
that considerably increased average has
been planted, and that the season has, on the
whole, been favorable to its cultivation
two facts of great significance and yet
good picking season is now necessary in
order to secure crop exceeding three
million bales '''' t'n'4'
Respecting the future prices of cotton,
conjectures are wildly at variance. Remem-
bering the experience of last season, planters
are disposed to look for high figures. One
year ago, with crop estimates fully half
million bales below current estimates. there
was disposition to break down the price
of middling upland in this market to 20
cents. Several Thousand bales were sold for
delivery in the winter months at 90 to "a
( cents. But as the estimates of the crop di-
minished prices advanced, until yesterday
the price was 35 cents. This price has been
reached in the face of prolonged dullness in
the market for cotton goods, both here and
in Europe; not, however, without some re-
vival in the. past two weeks, to which the
rscsns sisavsuce An tIso row nisecrisf may be
attributed. Low middling uplands, now
quoted at 81 cents, have been sold largely
for December delivery at from 264 cents to
28 cents, the latest price being 27a cents.
But are these prices safe Manchester now
has period Of activity, but is it sufficient
to clear off her surplus of goods, and lead to
any sustained increase in the demand upon
Liverpool? This question cannot be an
swered in the affirmative with any degree
of positiveness. Our own manufacturers
have also enjoyed, during August, good
sale for their goods; but then buyers found
large stocks to draw from. The stimulus of
low railroad freights to the West, which has
contributed largely to the activity, may be
Withdrawn at any time. And in the midst
of this apparent prosperity comes the state
ment from Fall River that the mills there
will hereafter, for an indefinite period, run
on half time. ,s. Is ,s,,f go ..s
In view of these facts, buyers of cotton !
will be fortunate if they do not experience
a reverse Of the course Of the market from
that Of st.year, when it opened low and
steadily advanced. There are SO many diff
.ficulties in the way that it is doubtful if I
prices can be sustained.

Loyalty.

The Wilmington Journal has an article
with the above caption, which takes much
different view of the subject from that taken
by u.s.
In a Republican government we do not
know that loyalty " is the fidelity OF the
subject to the Sovereign" for the very good
reasons that there are no subjects any more
than there is a sovereign.
The people are soyereigns, inasmuch as
they hold the power and nothing can be
done against their wishes Congress is the
people, for it consists of men who are chosen
by the people to represent them, and further,
these men are chosen to represent the views
of the majority Of those who select them.
Hence tie acts of Congress are the acts OF
a majority of the people of the country, who
have deputed the power to the men who
compose Congress.
Thus the people are the governing power,
for Congress is but collection of men sent
by the people of different parts of the coun-
try to represent the views and wishes of the
people of their particular section. When
each representative Of the people votes he
gives or should give expression to the views
of the people who chose him as their repre-
sentative. This faithfully done, the ex-
pressed will of majority of Congress is the
expressed will of the majority of the
American people.
Hence loyalty means to be true to the
government which the people have found
ed. Who may be the President is of small
Importance We have no permanent CHIEF
Magistrate, yet there is always President
of the United States. The moment one
dies the Vice-President takes his place and
no vacancy can occur. M.
To disapprove the action of President
is not disloyalty. One may be loyal to thu
government and yet disapprove the manner
in which its affairs are administered by somt
officer of the government. To be loya
means willingness to support the Fedora
authority and cheerful obedience to the law
upon which is founded the Union. The Con
stitution of Republic is its government
and support of the authority conferred b,
that Constitution is loyalty.

Tobacco.

During the past week, says the Petersburg
Eapress, in New York, tobacco has been
fairly active; prices shade easier. Ken
lucky leaf is held by manufacturers for an
advance, and, it is said, owing to the
drought in Virginia, and the prevalence of
heavy rains following period of dry wealth
er in the west-both ofwhich extremes are
untavorable to good crop.
Ofthe 1,400 hhds. sold during the past
week, seven hundred were for home con-
sumption. Prices ranged from u to Is
cents for Tugs to prime leaf Our authority
adds that shippers assert that as yet no seri-
Gus damage has been done to the new crop,
and that the prospect for the balance of the
season is good, and the present prices very
high.
Seed leaf is reported dull; buyers refuse
to meet the views ofsellers; all the transac-
tons were $50 cases new state, so do. new
Connecticut wrappers, and about 200 bales
various growths in small lots to the trade, all
on private terms. .as
There were 800 bales of Havana tobacco
sold at 24b to As cents gold, in bond, and 81
to $1.1O currency, duty paid.
Manufactured tobacco was in brisk de-
mand and buoyant.

li We learn that at a meeting of the stock
holders of the Eastern Division of the West
ern Extension of the North Carolina Rail-
road, held on the 26th, Gov. TOP R. CALD-
WE'LL, appointed by the Governor, was
accepted by the stockholders as the proper

of the newly elected stockholders, but
learn that Ex-Governor VANCE and Judge
MERRIMoN were excluded from the board.
Wealso learn that Col HARRIS. though he had
with the Governor given his proxy to
Gov. CALDWELL, was present on the occa-
sion but received no encouragement from

Factions.

In alluding to the selection of Directors
for the Wilmington, Charlotte & Rutherford
Railroad, the Wilmington Star, speaking of
the attacks upon Gov HOLDEN, says: ,a.
Thus says the Rutherford Star, to the Governor
and his organ: "You have placed the Wilmington,
Charlotte 81 Rutherford Railroad in the hands of
the Democrats and virtually in the hands of the
same old Company, who have never been regard
ed as friends to the Western end of said road. Is
this your friendship for the West?" a'''.
Per contra, Republicans in this section say
the Governor has utterly ignored the Cape Fear
region in his appointment of Directors, and ask,
after the manner Of the radical organ at Ruther
fordton :: SIS this your friendship for the East?"
n II
As the fight now stands the "house'' is very
much "divided against ITSELF" At each OF the
three great cities OF Wilmington, Newbern and
Rutherfordton, an opposing faction rears its by
dra head, threatening to annihilate our Governor
and all his supporters. 90 ~ -lIs. tf-alel.
Judge Logan's organ is as mad as fire. Evil
IDENTIFY, the Judge didn't get something he want
ed. We can see disappointed ambition "stick-
ing out" of every paragraph he and the boys"
write for the Rutherford Star. HG 30 faH
We do not agree with the Star that any
faction has been formed which can at all
threaten "our Governor and his supporters
as Gov. HOLDEN is supported by vast ma
jority of the Republican party. There may
may be O few malcontcnts in the localities
named there are always malcontents in
every party-but they have no power to in
jure any one except themselves. .--.., d.
That there are disconnected men both
East and West would seem to prove that
Gov. HOLDEN has acted impartially in the
matter. That the directors appointed are
good men-has never been questioned.
The assertion that the road has been put
into the hands of Democrats is too manifest
ly untrue to need contradiction.
As to " Judge Logans organ we do not
know that it is matter of much consequence
to us whether it is as mad as fire =" or we'll
pleased. The Star seems to have an idea
that the Judge wanted the control of the
road himself, and that all the wrath of the
Rutherford Star springs from that source,
That is matter which we do not now care
to discuss and which we shall leave the two
Stars 10 settle among themselves. rae 'i
All we wish to say is, that we are not
aware that any powerful factions have been
formed against Gov. HOLDEN and his sup
porters, and shall not believe such to be
the case until we are Obliged to. We wish
to see unity and good feeling preserved, and
are willing to let railroad men, settle their
railroad matters to suit themselves, provi-
ding no injustice is done to the people of
the State. gD slati', 4 50 i-.t'tii'la9 % 2
