IRoS ORE.-A few days since there
assembled a. Huntington, West VIZ
ginia, 4 number of capitalists from
New York, mos: Of whom are largely
interested in the Chesapeake d Ohio
Railroad, and organized a Mining
and Manufacturing Bureau, the same
to be under supervision Of the mana
gers of the above named railroad.-
The principal Office OF the bureau,
will be at Richmond, Virginia, and
will have for its chief officer Gen. J.
NJ. st. John, and Colonel Rand, as
assistant. The organization will have
charge of al matters referring to
mining iron manufacture, and the
Transportation ofores and coal, which
are found in such vast quantities
along the line Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad. 1t is expected that
this bureau, with the facilities and
powers extended it, will be able to
bring more clearly before the public
the great fact that the Ohio river
can obtain their foreign supply OF
ore cheaper from tho Inc than from
Lake Superior or Missouri, and. that
iron can be made upon the line Of
railroad at 4 less cost than at any
other point in America. Sosansuine
are the members of the bureau that
iron can be produced at a less cost
than that before the market, that
they intend in 4 few months freight
ing a ship with iron, either at Balti-
more or Richmond, and shipping it
to Wales for sale.

unanimous. 1t is an instance of the
gratuitoas offering of equal rights
that will challenge the admiration of
the world, and one that the future
historian will record with tender
pathos.-Erchangc.
