Our Iron Industries.
Statistics &c the iron trade ofthe United
States are always Of interest to the pub
lie. During 1872 the total consump-
ton Of iron in this country was 4,O54,6lS
tons, Of which 1,254,6ls tons were i'm
ported, and the balance was produced in
the United Suites 2 100000 tons Of it
being pig iron and 100000 tons scrap
iron The aggregate pig iron production
Of all the furnaces Of the country in 1872
Is stated at 2,ssS, $50 tons, Of which 47s,-
500 tons were charcoal iron, l,197 ,010
tons stthraeise iron, and the remainder,
1850 tons, were made with raw btu
minous coal and coke. These interesting
figures are collated from the last report Of
the American Pig Iron Association, which
also gives an estimate Of the annual re-
enirements Of the country for various
classes Of iron The lion ! share Is claimed
by the railroads, there being 2.45s,500
tons Of railroad iron annually consumed.
Miscellaneous castings require 100000
tons stoves. 200, 900 tons nails and tacks,
25o00o tons; nuts and bolts, 250, 900
tons architectural purposes, $50, 900 tons !;
agricultural implements, $4,000 tons /;
gas and water pipe, 100000 tons; ship
building, 10000 tons ;andsewing machines,
10000. Few people will imagine that
twenty thousand tons Of iron are annually
wrought into sewing machines, or that 80, :
coo tons are made into moving and reap
ing machines. These various industries
consume altogether 4,3ll 500 tons Of iron,
50 that the supply is manifsstly short.
To meet the increasing demands Of the
market, the American producers last year
built or began building 100 new blast
furnaces, and they also project the con
struction Of 80 new furnaces this year,
the estimated increase in the supply of
pig iron by these new furnaces being 327 :
900 tons To work up the raw material,
fity new rolling mills are under way, whilst
the pudding capacity Of those in existence
has been increased thirty per cent. Penn

WHAT DOES II MEAN?
Over Two Hundred Negroes I'm Caucus
at Dead of Night-Armed Sentfneis
ON tEae Outpost.

Over Two Hundred Negroes I'm Caucus
at Dead of Night-Armed Sentinels
ON tEse Outpost.
From the Alamo (Tenn.) Sentinel, Sept. 10.
We learn from one of our most respected
citizens-one whose veracity cannot be
dou5ted--that on Wednesday night Of last
week, over two hundred negroes were seen
in secret caucas about midnight in the river
bottom near this place, and that pickets
with guns were stationed on the outposts
while the proceedings of the body, what
ever they were, were being had, which
proceedings were carried on in rather an
under tone.
Surely there is some meaning In such q
meeting. We thought the Union Lesgue
had long since been numbered with the
things that were. We have thought that
perhaps is might have been a meeting of q
secret order among the negroes known as
the Colored Benevolent Society; but we
have read the constitution and by
laws of that order and find nothing
that licensed or:even limited at such meet
ing as this. Hhowever, they had 3
meeting In the river bottom ct
midnight, and that meeting meant some
thing, and we.think the indications portend
something, and the matter should be looked
into and brought to light. From what we
have known of the Benevolent Society we
entertained no serious objections to it; but
If 1t leads to this, we are decidedly In favor
of it being investigated some. This is a
peaceful community, and no benevolent Or
der needs guns and pistols to protect it.
We are also told that they were to meet
last Wednesday evening in or near Brazil,
Gibson county, and thus it seems to be
rather an extended organization and is not
confined to this county. For the present
we shall await further developments and
simply make this statement of facts to put
the people on their guard and be prepared
for any emergency. We hope, however,
nothing serious will grow out of it.

HOW THE NEGROES RULE OUR
WOMEN.
From the Pulaski Citizen.

The negroeslare evidently combining in
this and other localities to control labor, es-
peciany with regard TO domestic servants.
A majority of our citizens, we believe, are
without cooks. Colored ladies excuse
themselves from hiring on account Of the
hot weather. In the winter cooks will
doubtless be plentiful when the cold begins
to pinch them for want Of wood and cloth
ing, and when hunger admonishes them
that vegetables and other crops have been
housed under lock and key. Would it not
be right for white people to combine then
and let them suffer? 1t is indeed humilia-
ting to acknowledge our dependence upon
these deluded and ungrateful mortals,
and we would be glad to see
our people assert their independence. 1t is
sad confession, but just now their author
ity is absolute, their commands yea and
nay, and their rule tyranical. Shall we con-
tinue to pay tribute to this dusky Cesar, or
shall We declare our Independence of his
dictatorial rule and make break for libers
ty? We must do one of two things. Eth
er combine and overthrow these new rulers
or kDuckle to their demands, which are
about as follows: No washing or ironing
to do, no wood or water to bring, no restric-
tons as to church, school, visiting and Sun
day privileges, ami not a word of impu-
dence in the way of orders or instructions
from the mistress. After awhile we nav
add the unrestricted use of psrlor, piano
and carriage, with the privilege of keeping
boarders and white girl to wait on them.

der to convince the skeptical, / give the fol-
lowing as evidence on the subject:
In l847, during the months Of jane and
July, al Anglers, France, it was found ne
cessary to make deep cut for some distance
through portion Of the standard and dwarf
pear orchard of Ande Leroy, which had just
come into bearing, which st that time had
young fruits upon them. The leaves and
fruit were carefully removed by women,
and the trees were transplanted to another
portion of the ground without the loss of %
single tree. This is a remarkable fact,
when it is considered that two millions of
trees, shrubs and roses were trrnsplauted.
The nursery grounds had been SUBSIDIZED to
the depth OF of two feet, and the trees heav-
lily mulched and after planting twice water
ed. ~
For the truthfulness of the foregoing
statements, refer your readers to Andre
Leroy, LIE Britton Jeune, Pierre Anderson,
and Alexie Anderson, nurserymen of An
giers, France. JOHN VALE.

GRUNDY COUNTY.
From the McMinnville New Era.

ALTAMoNT, Sept. 22.-The angry con.
test for the removal of the county seat of
Grundy county has been decided in favor
of Altamont, and we are in hopes that the
righteous decision Of the people will not be
disturbed soon by the avaricions Tracy City
Company, who resorted TO every means and
device in their power to defeat the will of
the people. The merits and dement's CT
the two locations have been ably debated
by j. III. Bouldiu, Esq, and +. Sanders for
Altsmont, and A. S. Colyar and son for
Tracy City; and the people appear to be
well satisfied with the verdict rendered in
the cause. So you see that the would-be
Governor of Tennessee has again failed of
success. The question as to the triumph Of
this distinguished gentleman in any partic-
III ar has ceased to be asked, but his next
failure is only matter Of time.

The Chattanooga Commercial details q

Sample captured copper still, cap and

The Memphis Appeal Of the oath says:
With unfeigned sorrow we announce the
death of Rev. Raymond Daily, who was at

morning last and died within twenty-four
hours thereafter. This brave and. good

A dsstardly attempt was made Monday
night 10 throw train from the track. AS
the night passenger down was nearing this
place at usual speed, Engineer Pickens dis
covered by the headlight distractions on
the track in front. He Immediately whis-
tied down breaks, reversed engine, and
succeeded in checking the train, not how
ever until the engine had run over portion
of the obstruction, cutting in two an iron
rail laying first across the track. The OBJ
structions consisted of cross-ties and iron
rails, arranged most maliciously to insure
the ditchiDg of the train. The impotence
of the perpetrators of this high offense is
astonishing, contaminated as it was almost
in sight OF our depot, and at an early hour
after dark-the train reaching this place ct

A Good Thing Duly Appreciated.

No beneficial revolution ever goes backward;
and this maxim is as invariable in medicine as
in politics. The advent OF Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, twenty-five years ago, produced revo-
luton in the treatment of large class of all
ments, and that revolution has ever since been
in "the full tide of successful experiment" If
that tide has borne the proprietors of the eele-
brated vegetable specific "on to fortune" it has
also borne thousands Of human beings, who were
languishing under the effects of disease, weak
and hopeless, out of the depths of dependency
into the paradise of health and cheerfulness. It
is no exaggeration to say, that to the vigor, the
regularity of habit of body, the good appetite
and perfect digestion, acquired under the opera
ton of this unequalled tonic and corrective null
titudes of people in every walk of life, who had
been vainly physicked in the usual way, owe the
blessings of renewed health and the prospect of
prolonged life. sepA decd lw&W1t

ATTACKED BY A MAD.DOG.
From the Pulaski Citizen, Sept. %.

crom INC ulash Oillzen, oepCs 70.
Mr.. r. B. Crow was attacked by mad
dog at Mr.. Tidwell's, two miles southeast of
town last, Monday, and made narrow es-
cape from being bitten. He was laying
down upon the grass reading at the time,
when the rsbid dog came up and attacked
his dog. Mr.. Crow jumped up and knocked
the dog down with rock, when the dog
turned upon him, and it was with great diff
fculty that he kept him off until he could
mount pile Of plank out of his reach.
When Mr.. Crow got out of bis reach the
mad-dog turned upon his little dog. The
little dog ran from him but was pursued
several hundred yards down the road, over
taken and literally torn to pieces by his rabid
assailant. Mr.. Grow pursued them on horse
back with shotgun and succeeded in kill
ing him. This dog Isl brother of the dog
that bit Mr.. Hobbs some time since at

HOW TO MAKE EALL PLANTING a
RUCCESS
From the Rural World.

Being practical Planter, desire to give
my experience to the readers of the Rural
World, with the hope that it may be of ben
eft to some who have donbts as TO the prac-
ticability of fsll planting. In the first week
of September, 1SG0-dry weather prevail
ing at the time-I took up quantity of
grape vines, removed the leaves, dipped the
roots in a mixture of clay and water, and
heeled them in, aud let them remain in
that position until the 10Th of October,
when uoon every root new rootlets had
formed from one to one and half inches
in length. | then planted them in the vine
yard and they invaria bly, grew well. In thir-
ty-seyen years experience, eighteen of which
have cen passed in Missouri, have found
that tn plan is equally as efficacious fer
tr1nsplantiDg all kinds Of trees and plants,
as it is for grape vines. The main object OF
this letter is to show that the lesves can be
removed with safety at much earlier pc
rod in the year than the public have been
led to believe. II should, however, be dis
tinctly understood, that IN removing them,
it mus, be dOre with swift, light stroke
50 as not TO injure the axi!lary buds. In or
