TO Make Steel Without Pig

A special correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial Gazette, under date
of July 9Th, from Washington, says:
Passengers by the Queen and Crescent through
line from Cincinnati to Charleston will see to
the left of the train at Johnson City, Tenn, a
new furnace of large proportions. 1t was erect
ed d Bessemer iron works. and is planned to
be the most extensive of the Kind in the country
1t is soou to become the pioneer establishment
in the United States tor the production of steel
Directly from tile ore. The process is one here
tofore known to and used only by tie Russian
Government.
An inventor and artisan in iron, resident near
Washington, has perfected the plans FOR plant
which is an Improvement the RUSSIAN meth
Cd. and which experts in iron manufacture, at
ter due examination. have declared viii I'M
donbtedly produce steel of the first quality di-
rectly from the ore, without the necessity OF the
usual preliminary reduction to the pig.
In a word, the from the mine is led into
the furnace. and in the course of the reduction
it becomes carhonized and the product, as Oh
tanned by the single operation is steel III the
state in which it is delivered by the various
other methods which begin with the pig, after
an independent reduction to this latter form.
A strong company has been formed to develop
this method. 1t is easily seen that if successful
it must reyolutionize the steel industry of the
country and bring The cost to very much lower

ON account of the low figures at which they car

The ores used at Johnson City are from tht
famous Cranberry mines on the border of Norti
Carolina. The quantity of ore in sight is beyond
computation. 1t is mined and delivered at ths
furnaces a a cost of fifty cents a ton. Beside:
the advantages of these low figures it has alst
been proved to be the best ore for the manu-
facture of steel yet found in such quantities

Song in Politics.

The Farmers and kindred organiza
active campaign this year, and on the
4th of July held numerous public meet
ings throughout the State. Besides
speeches prepared for the stump, song
is to lend its charms and pathos to the
cause of the suffering falmer On the
4th of July, the following stanzas were
sung to the tune of America:
My country, It's of thee,
Once land of liberty,
OF thee sing.
Land OF the millionaire,
-. Farmers with pockets bare,
Caused by the cursed snare
The money king.
Land once of noble braves
But now of wretched slaves
Alas too late.
We saw sweet freedom die
From letting briberS high
Our unprized Suffrage buy
And mourn thy fate.
The words of that sweet Sunday school
hymn, s.Beuah Land have been dis
torted and were sung as 4th of July
song as follows:
We have the land to raise the wheat,
And everything that's good to eat;
And when we had no bonds or debt
We We're jolly. happy set.
The bankers followed us out West,
And did in mortgages invest
They looked ahead and shrewdly planned.
And soon they'll have our Kansas land
CHORUS.
= Oh, Kansas fool. poor Kansas fool,
The banker makes OF you tool;
look across the fertile plain
Bigcrops made SO by gentle rain;
But twelve cent corn gives me alarm
And makes me want to sell my farm.

A. HUTZLER'S Sons,
SIS east Broad street.

On the faces Of many OF the new Gus
toners visiting as We have recently OBJ
served an expression of curiosity. which
last week found full explanation IN
question put to us by stranger who
had apparently read our advertisements
and desired 10 know our reasons Tor
making known SO many OF the secrets Oh
the Dry-Goods business.
Well. here is our answer: Our object
ia 10 instruct the community IN some
things they ought to know.
"The fairest method OF dealing is
one."
"There is at least one house where
Misrepresentation is not practiced is
another" :. =.
All OF which is based on the belief
that the more sense people have the
more apt they will be to buy from
honest merchants. OF course, there are
some sensible people who don't but we
believe they will after awhile.
In order TO close out an accumulation
we offer all of our 1870. Full-Width
Satines ut &c, and Manchester fine
Setines, zoe. quality, at 12ic.
We are also making closing prices on
the remainder OF our Printed China

The children are now out OF the public
schools tor the vacation season, and, there
fore. il is the opportune time TO examine
the buildings and put them in proper re-

after. Many Of them are inadequate.
Some Of them would be well-nigh useless

oar Duty 70 the Memory Of Mr Davls.

Our Duty to the Memory Of Mr. DAVIS
The Chamber of Commerce has never
charged itself with q more important work
than TO help build monument TO the
memory Of Hon. JEFFERSON DAVIS.
II would be an everlasting stigma upon
US II we failed to do our duty.
No matter where the memorial is to be
erected, Riehmond's subscription should
be in keeping with her devotion to the
cause he represented and prcportionate
10 her population and wealth. The
people will give. They have only to be
asked. And this the Chamber will see is
done.
Soon after the death of Mr.. DAVIS q
mass-meetiug of citizens was held at the
Mozart Academy here and an organization
was effected, and was afterwards chartered
by the General Assembly, TO collect funds
20 build monument TO his memory in
Richmond" This association has secured
some cash and q considerable amount In
subscriptions. No doubt these can be
made available for the present purpose
which is to raise. or organize to raise, the
necessary money and leave the location OF
the monument for future consideration
All over the South tomorrow pubic
meetings will be held to further this plan.
The present movement is under the
auspices of the United Confederate Vete-
rams, aided by the Southern Press Asso-
citation, but we judge that the monument
will be erected over that spot which shall
be hereafter chosen by Mrs. DAVIS as the
grave of the ex-President.
There Is great appropriateness IN the
popular suggestion that Mr.. DAVIS should
be buried in Richmond. We hope that he
will be, and his widow has been urged and
will again be urged to adopt this view.
But no matter where he is TO be laid to rest
he should have a tomb in keeping with
his distinguished services and the remem-
brance of grateful people. Whether 1t Is
10 be in jackson, Richmond, New Orleans,
or Atlanta. Richmond should do her part
and do it handsomely, and we feel conn.,
dent that she will.
There would be peculiar propriety IN
bringing Mr.. DAyIs's body TO Richmond
and placing it in crypt in the house
which was his residence for the four years
of the war. 1t is a roomy building and
dome could easily be placed upon 1t so as
TO light the large hall in which the tomb
should be constructed, and to give to the
structure a more imposing appearance.
Then it would be to Richmond and the
South what the Hotel des Invalides is to
Paris and TO France. Here for all time
southerners and strangers would come.
Here in the city which was the strong
hold of the Confederacy Mr.. DAVIS should
sleep. and places by his side should be re-
served for his wife and children.
After this year the school-children will
be called back into the DAVIS Mansion no
more. For twenty years it has served as
school-house. Now it is to become a Con-
federate museum and public Library, and,
we would like to add, a mausoleum for the
DAVIS family also.
The nobest sentiments and the most
balowed associations spur US on TO duty.
Mr.. DAVIS should have a suitable monu-
ment.
After the money is in hand the site will
be determined upon.
