WILMINGTON INDUSTRIES.

| THE NEW IRON WORKs-THE PROSPECTS OF
THE CAR TRADE. r
The large iron foundry now being erected
at the foot of East Seventh street by the Nc
Cullough Iron company was visited yester-
day by HERALD reporter who interviewed
Mr.. Harvey member of the firm. Mr..
Harvey stated that the work would be COM
pleted within month when the rolling Of
sheet iron would be commenced IN small
way. The building is of immense size; there
are two large engines of four hundred horse
power besides five smaller ones, Yesterday
the belt was being fitted to one of the
former. Mr.. H. states that 900 hides
were consumed in its manufactures
it is 100 feet long. and abdE two feet in
width. To the question of primary interest
among our laboring classes as to the number
of wOrkmen employed when at full work,
Mr.. Harvey could give no definite answer;
nor could he tell, he said, for some time to
come.
The Mccullough Company have erected
this their largest mill in Wilmington because
of the many industrial advantages and the
excellent situation of our city. They have
six manufactures in Maryland but this will
be the central and important iron depot Of
the firm.
CAB BUILDING,
according to the statement of a
gentleman connected with the Jacks
son g. Sharp Co., is very dull at pres
ent with no prospects of a general revival
until the early spring of rext year. The
number of hands forming their complement
of workmen is 1000, but the number now
employed in both branches of their trade,
ship and car building, is only two hundred.
We are assured by the company, moreover,
that the stagnHion is general.
THE MALtAEBLE IRON WORKS
of Messrs. Pratt & Stock is at present
working its full force. The trade for the
past three months has been more than
usual, and is expected TO be good in the ftl-
ture.

The Seminole Negro Indians.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The War De-
partment has forwarded to the Secretary of
the Interior copy of the report from Ninth
Calvary dated Fort Clark, stating that the
Seminole Negro Indians, now at Forts Clark
and Duncan, Texas, are in destitute condi-
tion and desire to be sent to Arizona, where
they can obtain a living or be sent back to
Florida, from whence they were taken.
Colonel Match reports the total number of
these negroes at about five hundred men,
women, snd children, about sixty of these
are boys. If the Government cannot provide
land suitable for cultivation they beg to be
sent to Florida where, without owning land,
they can obtain land to work until means
are created by their labor to purchase land.
They represent that when they were trans
ferred with the Seminole Indians from Florida
to the Western Territory, their women and
children were kidnapped both by Indians
and white men and sold into slavery These
forced them to clear the country and go to
Mexico. They were induced to return to
Texas by promises which had never been
filled. A few now employed by the Govern
nRent as Indian scouts is the only means
they have of support. These lnen are now
away from their families on distant scouts.
Many ofthe men who are carried on the rolls
of seminoles scouts are discharged
soldiers from colorel regimen is
or servants of officers discharged.
Colhatch concludes as follows: if this state
of affairs continues they will undoubtedly
return to Mexico, go to the mountains below
San Carlos, about one hundred and fifty
miles west of the Rio Grande, there they
can deprodate upsn the ranches of Texas
and furnish an asylum for deserters, both
white and black from this frontier. These
Seminole negroes are entirely distant from
the Seminole Indians, they are like all ne
arms, are brave and daring and SUI
perior to the Indians of this region
in fighting qualities. believe it humanity
and economy to put these people in q way
of self support, and if not coloniHd d a
government reservation, send thep>s HeS(
request, to Florida. The movement would
not be expensive, they could be furnished
with years provisions, issued monthly, or
when they asked for it. When once in
Florida they would soon find the means of
living, and their labor be an advantage to
the State. They are not ignorant of plaEt-
ing cotton, sugar and corn, as their men
say the fisheries of Florida will furnish
them living if nothing else offers.

for transportation home. As in the case OF
the two delegations which called upon him
on Frtlay and Saturday of last week, they
told sorrowful story in regard to their
treatment. They say they could, by hard
labor, earn forty cents day, and had to pay
two dollars per week board. They declared
that none were paid money, but were given
checks for their wages, payable at the end
of the season, so that any who went away
before the close received nothing at all for
their labor. They represented that the food
provided was very poor that the only thing
fit to cat was the bread, and that was of in
ferior quality. A. Eight they had to sleep
in hunks on straw ticking, with no bed
clothing except they brought it with them.
About four hundred peach girls, they said,
we're crowded in the sleeping apartments.
Among the women, it is said, were some who
had been taken out of the Baltimore city
Jail. The Mayor furnished the applicants
on board steamboat to Phil

they went on their way rejoicing. This
