Eg- a letter from South Carolina, re
Gently received at Washington, states that
Governor Scott has commenced arminS tho
colored militia, and has five companies already
drilled and armed in Richland county. Three
companies Of whites we're formed, but only
one was allowed arms, the other two being
fatty rejected. The letter adds that there is
an evident intention to repeat the North Car
oina trouble in South Carolina. In that
event. the best advice we can give our South
Carolina friends, is to follow the example of
the people of North Carolina in her recent
election, and "repeat' the Conservative vic

TIE IRON OF WEST vIRGlNIN.


The famous iron ore region of Virginia
extends from tho Eastern part.of Green
brier. eastwardly throughout the counties
of Allcghuuy, B,tetourt, Rockbridse, and
Into Amherst. For many years this iron
hos been waggoned to the Kanawha Salt
Works, aud used for woll-boring tools,
such as augcr bits, pole joiuts, and slips;
also for horse shoe nails, wagon tires,
bands, bolts, gun barrels. and for other
purposes for which its fnenoss, softness
aud toughncss peculiarly fitted it, and for
which the Western and Pittsburg iron
was too hard and brittle. During tho re-
belion, the Anderson works in Botctourt
county furnished to the manufacturers in
Richmond, the iron from which was made
the cannon so celebrated for standing
heavy charges Of powder, and which were
used by the South through the war. These
works arc still furnishing considerable
quantities Of iron for the construction Of
steam boilers, engines and other machinery
requiring fine quality Of metal. Black
smiths have told nc that they could take o
cold rod Of this iron, and hammer it hot
enough to light the Ere of their forge,
without breaking the grain Of the metal,
thing which they declared, could not be
done with the soitcst Swedish iron.
This extensive section Of tbs mlst val
liable iron in tho world. furnishes but
very little iron in proportion to what its
capacity would be if it had tho fuel. Tho
Cloverdale, Jordan, Clifton. and other
works, have been started aud aourishei
for timc; but the consumption Of wood
for smelling was such that the forests for
miles around the furnaces soon disappeared,
and tho works were soon reduced or abau-
doned for tho want of fuel. Tho Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad runs for $50
miles through this iron region, then leaves
it, and running 100 miles west strikes tho
coal fields Of this valley just below the
Kanawha falls. The coal veins beginning
here undcrlic the river and creek bills on
either side. aud extend down the Kama
wha Valley for distance Of 80 miles to
Canpbcll's Creek, SIX miles above tho
State Capital. Among tho veins in the
bills Of Cabin and Paint creeks, is ono Of
Eve or six feet thick, so pure carbon and
free from sulphur, that il can be used for
tho blacksmith forge, or to smelt iron
without being previously charrod, and
wncn taken from the mine is equal to coke
or charcoal. 1t rcquiers but little Of the
light Of prophecy to forcsco tho not distant
day when tho Eastward bound train
frcighted with our coal 10 smclt tho ore in
tho iron region. will meet tho Westward
bound train grooming under its load friOh
orc to be hero melted by tho coal Of our
valley, and when tue connection is made it
will add ono hundred fold to tue valuo Of
both regions Why do capitalists sleep?
