Romanosrs On Iron

Iron is q heavy subject, and 1t il
really amusing to see themany curious
statements made by persons who pro
fess 10 understand the business, buI
whose words prove not only thcig is
norance, but their folly.
We find a statement in the Charles
ton Courier Of the sd instant. which
deserves attention. The article il
question is copied from the Iron Ays
published in New York, which is sup
posed to be authority on the subject o.
iron. An estimate is made Of the
cost of manufacturing iron at the
mouth Of Gauley Rive, which is put
down as follows:
eX Tons Coal deHyc-ell; the Furnace. S
pr Tons ore. in Ca s.... .......-. m
Freigat on ore. Per g.. * U. & r.. ..I niles,
= Ton Limestone. .......-.. .--.--.-.---.--- O.
Labor per Ton Of Iron made ...-.....---.-- 3 =
Interest ..-.....-.--..-. '
Total. ......-.--.--.-.si -
Eleven dollars AMI fifty three cents
for a ton Of manufactured iron. Let
US analyzc this statement. Coal de-
liyerel a: the furnace is put at SlI5
per ton. The Charleston Courier has
been publishing an advertisement Of
fering t cents per bushel, or Sip per
ton for digging coal. The Ashland
company, mining their own coal, and
carrying it on their own road, say
they cannot put the coal at the fur
mace for less than : cents q bushel +;
rather over than under that, This
would make the coal $3.50. Ore IS
put at a little over 50 cents per ton.
We have not heard a lower price
named InIn SI.UV Per Ton, amongst
practical men, for ore delivered on
the cars, and this, for Che simple mi
ming and handlin-, IS I0@ enough
This would give 81 2jior tAco and
1925 freight, making $3.50. Lime
stone, say IS cents Labor per ton
Of iron is put in th's ostimatoat 500
At most furnaces, $500 Is nearer the
amount expended for labor. We
hearl an experienced iron master say
sometime ego, tAat Sin making csd-
mates f5r labor PER ton Of iron, /, vas
customary to putt, g. $500, 5ut In
most instances, this amount comes
rather under the mark" But sup
pose we say s. 90. In the above
calculation, it is supposed the parties
are working their own coal and ore,
and the interest on the investment
must be pretty heavy. Suppose there
Is $4,000 capital in the furnace,
and $4,000 in lands, we have $780,
600, the interest on which, ut 8 Ter
cent, is $1,000. Suppose the far
mace makes 5000 tons q year, $50
have q little over S2.00a ton interest

To Correspondents
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

In the proceedings of the meeting of the
Board of Directors of the B. & o. Railroad
Company held in the city of Baltimore, on
the 18th inst, we find the following:
AT the close Of the regular proceedings OF
the board, which was fully represented, Col
Walsh, of Hartford county, offered the follow
ing resolution which was seconded by Mr.
Galloway Cheston, and unanimously adopt
ed; the questio non its adoption being put by
the mover:
"ResOlced, That the return to his native
city, of our respected president, Mr.. John w.
Garrett, with renewed health and vigor, is a
source of great qualification to every member
of this board, and it takes this occasion and
this mode Of congratulating the community
of which he is SO valued citizen, that his
eminent abilities are TO be still devoted to
the promotion of those great interests which
by his wise and far:seeing guidance and d.
rection have been created and fostered, and
which when fully accomplished according to
his original design, and which we have every
reason to believe will be done at no distant
day, must place the city of Baltimore in the
front rank, if NOT at the head, of the chief com.
mercial and manufacturing centres of the
United States"
The above resolution congratulating the
company, and the community at large on the
safe return from his late sojourn in Europe
of Mr.. John W. Garrett, with renewed health
thus enabling him to resume his duties as
President of this great corporation, is certain,
ly most well deserved. Ofall the Presidents
who have heretofore filled the executive chair
of the company, none have so distinguished
themselves for foresight, wisdom and con.
summate ability as Mr.. Garrett and no greater
triumph was ever achieved by any one &C.
cupying such position than he has, in the
other great railroad magnatcs of the country
coming to him on mission, beseeching him
to unite with them in certain policy, Great
ing combination of interests which he, with
true wisdom, saw proper to decline. This
was truly the mountain coming to Mahomet

JAMES P. SILVER.

Died at his fathers residence, on Deer Creeks
Hartford county, Md, ON the 10th, JIMMY p
SILVER, the eldest son Of James and Annie p
Silver, in the Path year of his age.
Sad seems the fate of those who are cut off SO
young, so carly in life! But mysterious to man
are the ways Of Divine Providence. His mystic
ries to us may DC bes sings in disguise.
The deceased after leaving the University of
Virginia, to where he had pursued course of
studies, returned TO his fathers house, n youth
of much promise and decision of character. His
department and manly bearing among his asso-
ciatcs there, won for him many admirert. AS he
looked forth into the future, how bright was
the prospect now before him The morn OF
life still threw its radiance around him, aud
anticpations gilded the future. Unlike many
young men bordering over what they shall do,
he did not long to stray away to some distant
cline, or try some new and hazardous adven-
ture. He chose to pursue mercantile life, and
left his friends and home for position in Phil
adclphia. After remaining there engaged in bus
mess one year or more, he changed his situation,
and repaired to Lansingburg, New York, Us an
agent for manufacturing company. The cold
and changeable climate seemed too severe for his
delicate constitution. After spending some
twelve months there, he became an invalid, and
was induced, during the early part of the sum-
mer, though very reluctantly, to leave his bus
mess and return to his fathers house A pull
monary disease followed successive colds. 1t
stole upon him, seemingly unconscious, and from
its flattering nature developed itself almost to
him unawares
At homo with his parents and surrounded
by kind friends he looked back over his past,
but short life, and asked himself whittier he was
going! "He had been correct and just with his
fellow-men. He had led life ofmorality, but
Oh how with his God His best and kindest
Friend!" He implored His mercy and forgive
ness. ale died for me. In Thee l put my
trust" These and other petitions, were borne
on high, and sweet message Of peace came
back, filling his soul with celestial joy.
He left his home, his fathers home,
With prospects bright and fair
No threatening sky, or rising cloud,
But all was tranquil there
His faith along life's rugged way
Was strew'd with many flowers;
With no deep cares or anxious thoughts
He spent his youthful hours.
But soon, alas the sky o'ercast
Disease came lurking by;
Tho hectic flush full well It told
That he came home to die
He came, twas to his parents home,
And bid them all farewell!
His spirit took its upward flight,
To heaven, where angels dwell.
