Letter From Gen. Pridemore,

JoNEsvlLLE, VA, May 10, 1850.
Dear Ne,cS:
| need hardly say It is unpleasant 10
me to have again to refor to myself in
your paper. As you heretofore stated
upon Gov. McMulin's information "if
| there Is 10 be q scrub race for Congress
Gen. Pridemore says he may he counted
as candidatc," quote from memory
1t was this charge that had said was,
or would be candidate, upon that con-
| dition alone that | disclaimed ever to
have used any such language. So | do
now. Gov. McMullin cndeavers to cor
rect me and says in his letter, ! said
"that if there was a scrub race for Con-
gress | mdy be in" used no such Ian
guage to Gov. McMullin and his own
Misunderstanding or recollection is the
cause Of his error. did say to him |
may or may not be Il candidate, but it
was no more spoken in reference to one
kind Of II race than another. | said to
him that regarded my chances in n
race before the people quite as good or
better than before n convention. He
thought there would be no convention
strange indeed if used one expression
to the Governor and say different TO all
other men, and yet venture the Gov.
is the only man living who will pretend
that | ever entertained such views. |
told the Gov, as had told all others
with whom | had Convcrsed, the reason
why | could not be certain as to my
course--the health of my wife, and why
would this reason apply to one kind Of n
race more than another. | do not pre-
tend to say Gov. McMullin did not un-
derstand me as he says, but do say if
he did, he greatly misunderstood me, for
| never in my life entertained such
thought, aud therefore could not have
said so. As to my recollection Of things
Of this sort ] have been led to believe
they are moderately good. l have ac-
customed myself in politics to have no
secrets, so that whatever propose to do
| say 70. And say here now, as |
have always said, that convention fair
ly selected and representing the will of
the people, Is the tairest and best mode
to select candidate for Office, and in
testing the fairness Of II convention dis
appointed candidates are not good au-
thority, or precedents that bind. lIav-
ing now put my own views before your
readers, | will not trouble you again
trust upon this subject.

Populdr Science Monthv gives an ac-
count Of an ingenious invention made by
NJ. Bella, Partisan, for subduing "
cious or frightened horses. The ma
cnine is simple and consists of a Clark's
mHgncto-electrio apparatus, incl0scd IN
u box, which is placed within easy reach
of the driver or rider. A conducting
wire running through the reins connects
The apparatus with the bit, BY turninga
handle attached to TO The cleclro-magnet
u current is formed WSich alecis the
horses mouth, and 50 surprises him that
he stops aud stands still. The most dan
gcrous horse may he subdued in n short
time by the application Of the electric
current, combined with soothing man
ncr and carcsses. The administrator of
the omnibus company in Paris had q
great many ill-naturcd and refractory
horses. which could not be shod without
being thrown and bound. A touch Of
this magic instrument tanned them at
once.
NJ. Bella has also invented nm clectri-
cal stick or switch, which Is not less in
genious than his bit. II Is n riding whip
containing two conducting wires, when
are insulated by leather. The wires ten
inmate in two points act perpendicular
~ to the whip, and are put In councX-
ion, as in the ease Of the Bit, by means
of magneto-elccllic apparatus. A
touch Of the whip Immediately subducs
the horse.
Alas for chivalry! Everybody can be
hOrseman now

cmlnenrc recently denied 10y The chnu-
pions of hydrogen. who claim for their

Bic Stone Gap Coal & Iron Co.

Gen. IMBopEN having last week made
the payments, and obtained the deeds to
forty odd thousand acres of land at and
near Big Stone Gap, has gone to Glade
vile TO put them on record. The prop
srty having been secured he permits us
TO publish ne matter of the moat inter-
ssting news TO all this region of country,
that he has prepared for his principals a
charter of incorporation for the above
Company, 10 be submitted to Judge
Kelley ne soon as it can be signed and
cent back from Pittsburgh. The capital
stock is fixed Mt $400 900, with the privi-
lege OF Increasing it from time TO time to
any necessary amount. Immediately on
the granting Of the charter the Company
will be organized, and their fret step, to
which they are urged by the General, in
order to verify his own report, upon
which alone the parties have so far pro-
ceeded, the Company will send Professor
LESLEY, State GeologlSt of Pennsylyan-
In, or PLArT, his first assistant, to make
thorough neurological report on the
property, and estimates of the cost of its
immediate development, including the
erection Of the necessary works to make
iron and coke on large scale, and the
necessary MD TO complete the Narrow
Gauge load to the Gap. Upon the COM
pletion of this survey and report, the
prompteat possible measures will be
,aken to put the finances Of the company
IN shape for active operation "all along
the line"
The General thinks that by the lat of
July all these preiminaries will have
been arranged. He has agreed to de-
vote his entire time 10 the enterprise,
mud has such unbounded confidence in
its success that he enters upon the work
with great enthusiasm, aud all his en-
ergy.

GRANT.
Never Again"

The Knoxville CHRONICLE Of last
Tuesday has this to say Of the "Duke Of
American
Counting from the Tribune's estimate
In regard 10 New York and Pennsylva-
mia, Grant would hack, at present writ
ing, l05 votes of majority, granting
the ex-Presidcnt VII the rest of the

that the "man on horseback viii never

new departure even from Hayes, for
Fish is Statesman and Hayes never

The Appetite Of Bread,

Did you know that bread is not only
eaten; but eats? Darwin has told u
that some flowers enjoy n porter-hOust
steak. Now NJ Scheurer Kestner as:
sures us bread has nigger's partiaity
for hog and hominy. The discovery is
interesting 10 dyspeptics, for bread can
be made to do the work of the alimenta-
rv canal and relieves dyspeptics Of all
bother except mere degluttion-and, Of
course, paying the bakers bill, which is
harder work than digestion. Science
has since found that several vegetable
| juices, or saps, dissolve meat, but NJ.
Scheurcr Kestner is the first person who
observed that in the process of bread
making a peculiar fermentation takes
place which produces complete digestion
of meat. A beef steak hashed fine and
mixed with dough containing yeast dis
appears entirely by the time it is taken
from the oven. The steaks nutrltive
principles are dissolved and inrorpOrat-
ed into the bread Not the least curious
phenomenon noticed in these circum-
stances is that meat, which so rapidly
becomes putrid, when once incorporated
into bread may he kept longer ,han or
dinary bread. Bread made in 1873 has
been shown the Academy of Science; 1t
WAS as sweet and free from mold rs
when 1t came ont of the oven.
At first NJ. Schcurer Kcstner used raw
meat; he mixed one aud one-tenh
pounds Of flour, one pound Of lcavcn
and threc-fourhs of II pound Of raw beef
minced fine; water in sufficient quanti-
ty was added, and the dough was left to
frrment. In two or three hours the
meat had disappeared, The bread was
then baked rs usual, This meat bread
had a disagrceable, sour taste. To re-
move 1t NJ SChcurcr Kestncr first loiled
the meat in just the quantity of water
nrcesSary TO wet the nour, and then MS
ed this water in kncading. The meat
should he rid Of all Fat, and only salt
enough TO season the bread added; for If
too much salt be added the bread will be-
come humid (salt being y great absOrbcr
of watcD aud spoil. The objection to
this bread is that II is insipid. If ba-
con be used instead of beef The objection
is removed. Veal, too, makes delicious
meat bread. All these breads may he
used TO make soup. Cut in slices one
sixth of II pound Of this bread, put the
slices in quart Of water, salt to taste,
and boil for twenty minutes.

The Cost of Making Iron.

The. average cost Of labor in Pa, ut
tho furnace, to make a ton Of pig iron,
has been for several years about 81.
The great elements Of cost consist in the
prices paid for raw materials delivered
At the furnace. AT Pittsburgh, FOR In
stance, the supplies Of ore have come
chiefly from Lake Superior, Missouri,
Gnd from across the Atlantic ocean.
The average price Of Of good 80 per cent.
oreG has been above rather than below
$40 per ton, delivered. Coke, since
last fall has averaged about $4.5O per ton
and Limestone 81. 1t has cont the furnace
men IN that city, nbout 40 follows to
make ton Of iron since the "boom" set
in:
Labor 400
9l< tons ore AT s7.bN 1888
IL, tons coke at N.50 6.G2
\ ton Limestone nj 50 80
Total $4,000
Now what would Il cost at Big Stone
Gap, where the finest coking coal In q,
8, and 10 feet seams is easily accessible
within ~ miles from the furnace site
and b5 per cent fossil red oxide ores
equal to those Of lake Superior, nre In
exhaustless abundances, at from ] TO 10
miles, and all within lees than ! mile of
the line Of our Marrow Gauge road, and
limestone cliffs hundreds Of feet high
within pistol shot Of the fNrnacc siteY
We will answer the question, putting Ia
Dor vt same paid In Pennsylvania at the
furnace, In the mines and Mt the coke

Coking came, 10 make "a tons coke 80

Total $500
In ia, one case the materials cost at
the furnace t23, and In the other only 81
y difference of $50 per ton of iron made
Although VIC have allowed very high
rates for mining aud hauling, suppose We
even double them, and make the mate
rial cost 81, and we still have clear
gain Of tl7 over the pcnneylyanian
Now II We have 10 send our pig iron

W. H. Davis, of Hot Greek, reports hav-
ing seen Ed. Dean and party as they were
moving Arizonaward. They we're making
good time; their stock was doing well,
and the entire outft-some ten or a dozen
in number-were fat, saucy and hungry.
They made it a point to camp near some
house for the accommodation of the ladies,
and cold or warm they logged along at an
easy gait. The route Of travel taken by
the party was this: From Hot Greek to
Twill Springs, twenty-eight miles; Twin
Springs to Quinn Springs or Canyon,
thirty-two miles; Quinn Springs to Pa
ranagat Valley, about fifty-fve miles;
from thence on to the head Of the Muddy;
thence to Fort Callville; thence to Pres
colt, and so on. There is no snow in Pa
ranagat valley or south of there If reports
are true which have come north thus far
this winter.
