Iron Ore.

Ga Thursday last we took ride with
Drs Maine and Bailey, to Hayman's Fer
ry. to examine some iron ore near the
river on mountain, within half a mile
OF tho river. On ascending the mountain
a short distance we came across qnant-
ties Of rich iron ore scattered over the
top and sides ofthc mountain, and in va
rious places, cropping out in veins. 1t
is the hematltp, or specnlar ore. The
land belongs to DR. Joseph Bailey, Of
New York, and father of our Dr. Bailey.
The land has been frequently offered for
sale for two dollars per acre by DR..
Maine, the Agent of DR.. Bailey. 1t is
about three miles from Fort Smith and
it is said coal can be found at the foot of
the mountain. Here is an opening for
capitalists, and a place to erecta furnace
The ore is the richest we have seen in
this region, and iron ore is plentiful in
all parts Of Sebastian county. DR.. Bailey
will sink shaft in a few days for cosl at

WASHINGTON. Oct III.
The shooting Of ex Senator Pomeroy
by Martin r. Conway, an cx-ncmber OF
Congress from Kansas, which took place
in this city this evening, has occasioncd
much excitement among the friends Of
both parties, Pomeroy's wound is not
considered at all dangerous. The friends
Of both parties agree that the shooting
was done without substantial provoca
ton Conway charges that Pomeroy had
ruined his wife and family On the eth
cr side it is charged that when Conway,
who was at one time United States con
sui at Marscilles, lett this cuuntry for his
post of duty, he deserted his family and
that Senators Pomeroy, Wilson and Sum-
ner, at the solicitation or mutual friends,
procured Mrs Conway position in the
Treasury Department, using rs an argu.
ment to induce hrr appointment the fact
that she had been deserted by her hus
band, and needed the appointment in or
der to support herself and family. Short
iy after her appointment, Conway was re-
called from Marseilcs He has always
considered that he owes his recall to the
charge that he had deserted his family,
and blames Pomeroy for the whole af
fair; hence his hatred for that person.
Mrs. Pomcroy has numerous friends in
this city, and is considered most ,sti-
mabe woman About 7 o'clock this

dangerous, and Conway, by giving bail
