AT this time, the demand for iron
throughout the world is far more han the
supply. In fact, the raw material is so
scarce and the sources of supply so limi-
ted. that interested parties prophecy an
iron famine in q short length of time.
In three months. pig metal has risen from
5000 to $52, 90 per ton-an increase of
Afty per cent. The increased demand is
accounted for, in tracking Lew railroads
and the building Of iron ships in all parts
Of the world. In 1871, the United
States consumed. 100000 tons of iron,
Of which she produced 10000 o tons.
! She therefore imported 100000 tons, the
remainder of the demand. Last January,
both Ergland and America bad consumed
their surplus Of iron and were compelled
TO depend upon their furnaces as n re-
seuree..for supplying immediate necessities.
The actiEity of the present year, in both
countries, has been intense, and the
factories are strained to accommodate
purchasers with no stock in hand to fall
back upon. And hence we have the
present doarth and the correspondingly
LIZ hprices. The demand for iron in all
quarters of the globe will render it i'm
possill lie to export the 100000 tons that
last year bought from England, Bel
GUM, Prussia and Sweden. from the fact
they will have no iron to spare. or II they
do, it will be held at such high figures that
We can not purchase.

REPLY TO JOHN JR

We sometime since published an ar
ticle concerning the Rev. j.. G. Mas. n
and his connection with the Presbyterian
Church in this place. in order to correct
some false impressions. that were being
made detrimental to the character of
that gentleman. asusE fBoZ .Gy
The article has elected a controversy
on the subject which We would gladly
have avoided as VIC have no desire to in
terfere in Church matters,a and only done go
because we felt it our duty as public
journalists to speak in defense of an esti-
mable gentleman, toward whom q gross
injustice was being practiced and who had
no other means of defending himself.
We wish it distinctly understood that
We entertain no i'll feeling toward either
branch of that Church, as We hold many
of the members on both sides in the high
est esteem. Nor DO we wish to interfere
in any changes of the Pastorsh;p or the
general conduct ofthe affairs ofthe Church.
This is, a matter that belongs solely to the
members themselves, and in which we
have no interest.
The correspondent u" in the Patriot
who turns out to be John Allison jr., of
this place, saw fit to assume the champion
ship of the Southern wing of the Presby-
terrain Church, and rushed into print with
all the ardor and impetuosity of a new
recruit who had left the pillow in the furrow
to undergo the dangers . camp and field in
defence of the lost. cause. With char
acteristic indiscretion he does not hest
tate to charge old and tried friends with
obstinate and willful misrepresentation of
the facts in the case and reiterates the
false statements that had been put in cir
c~ulation by members Of Mr.. Mason's
Church who were opposed to his retaining
the Pastorship. In our first article we
stated the facts IN the case as they were
given us by old members of the Church,
whose character for veracity is unimpeach-
able. Mr.. Mason who is undoubtedly ac-
quainted with all the circumstances of the
case in a card published last week fully
corroborates all we had said on the sub
ject. The matter has therefore narrowed
down to an issue of fact or a question of
veracity between the Rev. Mr.. Mason
and John Allison, jr. Attorney, &c. Let
the people choose whom they will believe
and attach such Importance to the state
ments of each as his character for truth
and his standing in this community de-
serves.
One word in our own behalf to John ALI
son. Jr., and we have done with the subject
forever. In charging us with Intentional
misrepresentation he uttered that which
he knew to be a willful and deliberate
falsehood. Entirely uubecoming an
officer of the Presbyterian Church, which
he claims to be. In conclusion we advise
him to solicit the stereotyped prayers of
bis associates that the Recording Angel
may drop a tear on this lie and blot it
out forever"

BRONCHITIS

This is an irritation or inflammation OF
the bronchial tubes, which carry the air we
breathe into the lungs. 1t arises from a
cold settled in the throat, from Catarrah
extending to these parts, from scrofulous
affections, and from severe nse of the voice.
Tie irritation from this latter cause CON-
meEces in the ldrnyr and CLOTHS. which
are the organs Of the voice, and extending
downwards, produces hoarseness, coughing
and splitting mucous matter. sometimes
mixed with blood. 1t is chiefly danger
Gus from its tendency to spread into the
lungs, and terminate In consumption. 1t
is in the cure of severe and obstinate cases
of this disease that DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has achieved unparallel-
ed success. and won the loudest praise from
all who have used it. Is sold by all re-
spectacle druggists.

THE sudden somersault of Gov. Palmer.
of Illinois, causes only derision in that
State. A Chicago correspondent says:
I On March 21st he cam out in a letter
asking the Republicans of this State to
renominate him for Governor, and de-
clared that he should chserfully support
Gen. Grant for the next Presidency. ,,g3
But the Republicans determined they
had enough of Palmer. so they expressed
their preference for Gen. Oglssby. There

DECISION FOR CHR1sr.-After the
disgraceful defeat Of the Romans at the
battle Of Allia, Rome was sacked, and
it seemed as if, at any moment, the
Gauls might take the capitol. Among
the garrison was young man of the
Fabian family, and on a certain day
the anniversary Of sacrifice returned,
when his family had always offered sac,
ri6ce upon the Quirinal Hill. This
Hill Was in the possession of the Gauls
but when the morning dawned, the
young man took the sacred utensils OF
his god, went down from the capitol,
passed through the Gallo sentries,
through the main body, up the Hill,
offered sacrifice, aud came back un-
harmed. 1t was always told a. won
der among Roman legends.
This is just how the Christian should
act when decision for Christ is called
for. Though he be solitary in the midst
OF a thousand opponents, let him, at
tho precise moment when duty calls,
fearless Of all danger, 20 straight to the
appointed spot, do his duty, aud re-
member that consequences belong to
God, aud not to us.

The NOVEMBER VIcroRY.-From
every quarter Of the land come words
Of encouragement. The Liberal
movement is losing strength as its de.
signs become better known. The grand
old party Of freedom never showed a
holder or more united front than it does
to-day. The traitors who crippled its
action in the past have been driven
from the camp. The bummers and
stragglers who retarded it's glorious
march Of progress have gone over to
the enemy. They were source Of
weakness to US: they will impart M
strength to our opponents. Let our
friends keep moving everywhere. Or.
ganise every available force. Canvass
thoroughly every district. We must
make the victory Of the Republican
party triumph greater than any ye,
achieved. The battle of November
next must be the Waterloo of Democ
racv.

phlet, Concession, or how the lost
cause may be regained, and tho [nde-
pendence of the South secured No.

doubt, Of thousands of Southern Dem
ocrats, who will, ID defiance Of repeat
ed winks and mods Of disapproval from
the Democratic managers, persist in
talking about tho possibilities Of the
Lost Cause ut the most unseemly times.
But the suggestion that the Radicals
have concocted this precious farrago of
nonsense and treason for electionecring

vaunt that the Democracy is the only
party that can bring about return to
honesty and constitutional laws This

new party, that has but one motto on
its banners," Anything to beat Grant. u

millions have met the same crowd be.
fore, aud the old result will be dupli.
Gated in November next. The grand
old party'of Freedom, whose banners
are unstained whose ranks are filled
with honest patriots, whose triumphal
march is the march of justice and civ.
ilization, will win a victory, under its
trusted leader, over which the friends
Of freedom everywhere will rejoice.

The COLORs OF ANDRsoNv1LLE-

THE CoIoRs OF ANDRsoNy1LLE.-
Andcrsonvillc is fitly decorated by o
Greeley flag. The only Union standard
ever voluntarily raised by the people Of
Americas is one that bears the names
Of the Cincinnati nominees. Americas
and AndersonviIle arc two names for
the same locality. When, during the
rebellion, bushwackers and spies de-
sired to accomplish their purposes more
seroitly, they assumed the Federal uni
form, and often carried the Union flag.
Several nassacres were the consequent
ces Of such trcachery. With similar
instincts the Andersonville people re-
cognize their friends, and, by throwing
the Greeley banner to the breeze, hope
to regain within our ranks what the
lost cause" failed in achieving.
