IRON MEN LOOKING SOUTH.

The following extract taken from a
leader in a recent issue of the Iron World
and Manufacturer, the leading Journal
on iron manufacture in America, is full of
significance
pittsburgh has hitherto worn the iron
crown, but how long it will maintain SUI
premacy remains to be seen. That there
is danger Of Pittsburgh losing its supre-
macy as an iron manufacturing city, we do
not deny but the danger does not lie in
the direction of St. Louis as a portion of
the press of that city would have the world
believe. The idea of St. Louis ever con-
testing the palm with Pittsburgh for thesu-
premacy in iron manufacturing can not be
entertained for a single moment for
when we take into consideration the price
of fuel at the two points, and that it takes
fully five tons of coal to produce one ton of
merchant iron from the ore, the question
loses all its vitality"
Pittsburgh, the chiefiro manufacturing
city on this continent, obtains the principal
portion of her ore from the Iron Mountains
of Missouri her coal she finds near at
hand. Yet, in spite of this great disad-
vantage. she has established a world
Wlde character as an iron manufac-
turing city and amassed immense
fortunes for her enterprising citizens. But
recently a cloud has passed over the sweet
spirit OF her dreams. From a want of con-
cert OF action between the minor and man
ufacturer the formerI-has materially adj
vanced the price of the raw material and
thus 'St. Louis will get from Pittsburgh
this year clean million Of dollars for
nothing, tnnless experience has a cash
let s,FA
entertain the delusive hope that in time
they will be able TO build up manufactures
that shall outstrip those ofPittsburgh and
number her glories among the things of
the past. AT this idea the ferruginous resi-
dents of the smoky city rebel and the state

A CHANCE FOR A BLAST FURNACE.

Now that the Methodist Central Univer-
sity is located at Knoxville, and the first
fruits of the enterprise and liberality of
our Ipeople as a community are gathered,
we trust the lesson will not fail of its NOR
al, and that the good work will go on, Just
as certainly as business man, by enter
prise and public spirit, pushes his trade,
just so certainly a city profits by the liber-
atty and vim of its people. We
must not now pause because we have
won a decided victory in the contest
for the University. 1t is the beginning,
we trust, of more progressive era for our
growing young city. If we improve the
opportunities now offering we can give
wonderful impetus to our growth.
We are authorized to say to the public
that responsible party of manufacturers
and capitalists propose erecting blast fur
mace in Knoxville, provided we help them
procure an eligible site. They guarantee
to put in operation furnace within eight
months, provided proper encouragement
is given. The work will be begun
at once or as soon after the site is secured
as pIdCLlSdDle. L lie SAME COLI DdDy nave
been offered ten acres of valuable ground
elsewhere, provided the works were estab-
lished there. This is an enterprise the i'm
portance of which few of our people fully
appreciate. Competent iron men have
given it as their opinion that Knoxville
was one of the very best points in the
South for furnace. Here, q Udricty of ores
can be secured at reasonable prices. With
| these ores iron of any desired quality can
be manufactured. A furnace once located
| here and in successful operation demon
strating the fact that this is an advanta-
| geous point for the manufacture of iron,
would of course draw other enterprises.
One furnace so managed, would we are
! convinced bring second inside of year.
| Two furnaces would bring rolling mills.
| Such industries come in pairs, and rapidly
multiply. The nucleus once formed itWould
be the work of but a few years to make
this the center Of gigantic manufacturing
enterprises.
The opportunity for beginning this
manufacturing growth so long talked of is
now here. We hope and believe that il
will be promptly improved. The work
of securing the site is in the hands of some
of our best business men and they will put
ii in shape at once for our citizens to act
upon. We are entirely safe in saying that
every reasonable demand will be complied
with. Knoxville is now fully aroused, and
the dreams of its sanguine friends are to be
| realized if we but keep on in the liberal
philosophical march we have taken up.

THE Memphis Avdldnche is exercised
over the probable candidacy of Judge
Houk for Gubernatorial honors He is
alluded to as the candidate OF the fund
ers." Judge Houk is not candidate for
Governor, as we have reason to believe.
But no matter who is nominated by Re-
publicans, whether Judge Houk or some
one else, he will not be the candidate of Ell
Their the " funders" or anti-funders,"
The most noise now being made on that
question is by men who would like to lead
u third party movement. To suppose that
the Republicans will make this an issue in
the next canvass, is to suppose that party
as dead as the Democracy. Republicans
may not all agree on that question per-
haps, but they do agree that the credit of
the State must be rigidly maintained.
They agree on this main principle, but
they can afford to disagree on the details
by which it is to be accomplished. So UNI
der all the circumstances, we rather enjoy
the noise being made, and do not wish ST.
lence. We would not enforce it if we
could,

of their feelings is very well set forth in
the editorial of the Iron World before us.
1t is not, says the World, TO st. Louis
that Pittsburgh has to look for a formida-
BILE rival. Her laurels are endangered more
in an easterly and southerly direction.
The banks of the Hudson and Delaware
will in ten years, he predicts, be lined with
furnaces, and the immense mineral wealth
of Virginia and North Carolina will be
drawn from its hiding places by the enter
prise of capitalists seeking the best invest
ment for their funds.
In speaking of our section, he says " No.
/ mill iron is being manufactured at Chat
tanooga, at from S14 to SIS per ton, which,
ii is claimed, would cost from SIS to $50
per ton at Pittsburgh. A furnace is being
built at Oakdale, East Tennessee, in the
vicinity of which are ineXhaustible sup
plies of ore, coal and limestone; and the
ore will be put in the furnace at a cost of
81 per ton, and the coal at a cost of 81 so.
The quality of Tennessee iron is well
known-there is no better iron made in
the country. New furnaces are being
erected in different parts of Tennessee,
Alabama and Georgia, where iron can be
made cheap, and rolling mills are bound
to follow, for capital and skilled labor will
find their way to places where they are
the most remuneTative.n
When one reads this, he no longer
feels that the tales about the in
eqhaustlble mineral supplies, and the
immense natural resources of East
Tennessee is mere Pigment of the imagi-
nation, and that our promises are merely
snares to catch the credulous and unwary.
The pith of the whole subject is contained
in the closing sentence of the first extract.
1t might be formulated thus: " The price
of manufactured iron must increase as the
square of the distance between the ore and
and fuel, and inversely must decrease as
that distance is diminished And where
on the American Continent can the latter
condition be found as favorable as in East
Tennessee? The iron beds and coal seams
are found here almost in juxtaposition and
accessible in q degree unsurpassed in the
known world.
With those natural advantages and with
increasing facilities for transportation, our
future as an iron manufacturing country
is beyond peradventure, and he who fail
to see it is either blinded by prejudice or is
unable to perceive the natural course OF
events or trace the connection between
cause and effect.

THE POLAR EXPEDITION.

We publish elsewhere full particulars of
the death of Captain John Hall and the
loss of the steamer Polaris with part of its
crew. The details of the sufferings of the
crew are given and will be read with deep
and painful interest by the civilized world.
Captain Halls expedition left this country
some two years ago under patronage of the
Government, Congress having made an
appropriation for the purpose. The explor-
er had theory that by following up the
Gulf stream he could gain an entrance to
the Arctic seas so as to explore the polar
regions. The same spirit that caused Liv-
ingstone to bury himself in the wilds of
Africa, for years cut off from his friends
and from all communication with the civ
ilzed world, caused Hall to brave the
eternal winters of tie Arctic region in
the hope that he might solve one of
the great problems of geographers. Though
he seems to have gone beyond his preced-
ing explorers, he has sacrificed his life
without the recompense he hoped to offer.
The great mystery is still unsolved. 1t is
to be hoped that the later advices, which
it is said do not confirm the loss of the
Polayis, will be confirmed.

on the lesson Friday night. Gave his ex-
perience as n Sunday-school worker, in
which he left the impression that the la
dies did not do so much for Sunday-schools
as men.
Mr.. Rayl desired to take issue with him
on that, when Jory corrected the impress
sion, and stated that he thought he had as
high appreciation for the fair sex as any
one, for he had q wife as handsome and
good as any one, and three children-all
girls.
Mr.. Rayl called for those to rise who
used the uniform lesson system; afterwards,
those who did not to rise. Most all rose
to the first proposition. Some thought the
systems could not be adapted to infant
classes. Mr.. Washburn thought none for
infant classes had been published that
equalled the Berean or International. A
half hour was given to finish the discus
sion in the afternoon.
j. A. Rayl, #. l.. Cate and S. r. Rogers
were appointed a Committee on Statistics.
H. Jory, w. p. Washburn and Rev. j. H.
McGriff, were appointed a Committee on
resolutions. The morning session closed

SEVENTY thousand barrels of whisky
were consumed in New Orleans last year
one-third of a barrel to every man, woman
and child. No wonder they have riots and
bloodshed in the city.
In 1863 they distilled one thousand bar
rels; last year they distilled sixty-fve
thousand barrels. This poison and the
State lottery do more to destroy the energy
and business spirit Of the people than
could all the carPet-baggers of the South
concentrated in one State. The lottery
draws daily $4,000 to $4,000, or perhaps
$4,000, into its capacious NAV and returns
nothing. And great cutlery is raised be-
cause the Attorney General is trying 20
suppress it.

John c. Burch as Comptroller: ave are
willing to acknowledge that Col, Burch
has the ability to fill the office, while in
his private character he is a genial gentle
man but as leading editor we believe he
had not given entire satisfaction but he
has chung to Governor Brown, and if that
service is to be the measure of rewards, he
was entitled TO it but as one of Public
Printing Ring, which has been lately
whitewashed, and as one of a company with
which the very office he now holds has
suit brought by his predecessor, we must,
as the public will, give this an unqulified
condemnation. Will Col. b. carry on that
suit against himself with much energy ?
He should not have accepted the office
under the circumstances, and the Govern
or should not have rendered it to man
who had direct private interest in award
ing to his own company such Jobs"
