The least known part Of this country is,
perhaps, North Alabama, where, for dis
tance Of two hundred miles, there are such
inexhaustible stores of iron ore that it will
not cost So ton, while in Oaio and Peun-
sylvania it costs at the furnaces from 50 to
$l2 ton. The coal is inexhaustible in the
same vicinity. This great mineral wealth
must ultimately make the Elyton region an
unrivalled manufacturing district.

Another War Imminent,

During the past week, it was announced
that Russia had given notice Of her inton-
tion 10 abroGate the treaty Of 1856, under
whi;h she is prevented from maintaining
fee: in the Black Sea-that the Emperor
has no desire but peace. and wishes to hare
the restriction removed only because il is
humiliating TO Russia-and that he is will
ling TO accord to Turkey the same privileges
he claims.
There are facts which favor both the peace-
tul and the war-like view The country w.
ing along the shores OF the Black Sea is the
great grain producing section of Europe, and
the freedom of the Black Sea would greatly
stimulate trade. Russia also claims to desire
10 protect her portion of this territory with
greatly needed defences. These are the
peaceful considerations. On tie other hand.
Russian policy has long looked toward Con.
stautinopie. In the past her policy has been
peculiarly tortuous, and every point gained
has been made So bscrreut to one grand pur-
pose. Thus the fear il entertained that this
is but step toward the end for which she
has been struggling. The Turks are not a
maratimo people. and hence the concession
to them of equal privileges with Russia in
the Black Sea is not of much value.
The ayowal on the part of Russia to abro
gate this treaty, has created much excite
ment in Europe. Turkey regards the de
mand as equivalent to declaration Of war
and Is rapidly placing her army on war
footing. while, ii is reported, the neutral
powers have expressed determination TO
stand firm by the side of Turkey to maintain
the terms Of the treaty intact-that England.
Turkey, Austria and Italy have already en-
tered into All agreement 10 preserve a com-
mon attitude towards Russia
This being the case, q general European
war Is imminent In fact, late advices from
London represent that the British feet is
preparing for active service, and that all
vessels OF war have been recalled from dis
tant stations, except where they are actually
needed. That the other powers, parties TO
the treaty of 1856, will soon follow the ex.
ample of England, in preparing for a gener
al conflict, there Is little doubt, unless Rus
sia will recede from her avowed da,ermina
tion to maintain feet in the Back Sea. A
few days, however, will suffice to end all
speculation on the subject Wait AMI see.
