Van Gilder, agent, with their usual promptness and liberality, have paid their lots in the recent fire to JlcClanahan Frocks, thus demonstrating the advantage of being insured in reliable and prompt companies. Many pcr'us are deceived by insuring with transient agents in companiss they know nothing of as to responsibility.

Fires will tome, and the only safe remedy is to koop a reasonable amount of insurance in a responsible Company like the Tha--nix, that pays promptly. "Lawk, Saiec!

ICditor A mencan Journal of Mining Bpfcgeleison, or Iron containing the proportion r.f u.u&.UCra uuramrj in toe process or making Bessemer etoel, is now being importod from Germany and is worth in this market fifty-three dollars gold per ton, the supply being limited.

An article quite equal to that imported is now being iilrod uccd in cartel lennossee. The ore frcra which this metal it made is found in the Cumberland range, near Greenville East Tennessee, not far from the Virginia and Korth Carolina line. Th tain that contains the ore is dome-shaped, and the ore is found at iu very top in one vast deposit, re- MlllaitM Kill t.k.. a rr. um uur hj enraci it.

i wo men and a boy mine or quarry an average of twenty tons per day, besides doing the other work of the minn. The ore is a limonite or brown hematite, with a large admixture of mangnnese, and free from any contaminating impurities. Careful analyses have ueeu iuaue vj roiessor i.gieston and others, and it is found to be exceedingly pure, with a lamiri? ted or crystalino structure, presenting an appearance in broken pig, like that of now silver. This arv pearance is caused by its mixture with manganese of which it contains a large percentage. The uses' to which this iron has been succossfulsy applied include the manufacture of a fine quality of merchant iron, also its application as a mixture for fine castings, such as car wheels, safes, bells, quartz-crushers, Recently it has been used as a re-carboni-ier in the manufacture of Bessemer steel, and is now imported from Prussia for that purpose.

It ig also used as a mixture to improve thequalitv of badly made irons, whether anthracite or charcoal, when too much decarbonized or "burnt." The manufacturers of 6teel from the bar have high expectations oi iiuoiug iu uub oi tae purest ana best adapted irons for their purposes. Jos. R.

Edwin Henry, 164 Maiden Lane, New York. NASBY. The Mobbing or Metiiodlsts. Mr.

Editor: Indifferent parts of the country eaorts are industriously made to produce the impression tbat tho Methodist Episcopal Church in Tennessee, and myself particularly, are somehow implicated in, or responsible for, the trecent whipping of Rev. Henry Neal, in Blount county, and also other instances of violonco. All tepresen-tations of the kind are basoly and wickedly false. While there may have been individauals connected with the M. E.

Church who have participated in such violence though if there aro I do not know it yet the Melhodiit Episcopal Church in this country has never lent herself to such works. She needs no such adjuncts or supports. If she cannot stand without them, let her fall. Sho would deserve to go down. So far as I myself am concerned, 1 have always opposed mob violence, and I always expect to op-, pose it.

On first undertaking this District in October, 1865 I proposed to Rev. Jarce Atkin-, then Presiding Elder of tho M. E. Church, South, to de-bato this question cf the two Churches in all tho principal congregations in icy District with him, and submit it to a vote of the Methodist people. Ho declined accoding lo tho proposition, alleging among other reasons, that ho did not consider himself safe in certain parts of the country.

I assured him I would discountenance violence towards him, and that if he would accede to the proposition and accompany me, should any ono attempt to molest him, would difind hint, ci tKtj ihculJ Kurt mi frit. When tho late Captain Sizemore, Rt.gers-ville, had threatened the lifo of Rev. Mr. Hickey, as I learned, 1 went tJ Mr. SIzemoro and plead with him lor an hour cr more agaicrt suca a crorse, until he agreed not to lay hands ca aim.

Privately and publicly, frcra the pulpit and through the pross, I have dli.coi:n:ennced such conduct. It it true, I Lave been requited fcr this interference in be'-alf cf Southern preachers, by discourtesy, prc scripUcn, aue and falsehood. When in Athe-I found tie rumor current that I had advisfd the ing Grt fronl p4l TcnDcsiee or tilling of oouuera Mctbc-dift Tbu must hare 1-e ii circaluted there ty some cf the body in behalf cf fchom 1 had interfered. t.o I Lave continued, notwithstanding tho way 1 huve leva treated ly them, to pp.e violence'to-wardi them. And now, again, tho Lipping of Mr.

Neal is au occasion to revive tho rumors tbat mjM 'f and ether Methodist rninUl-rs in East "rc ch, if tu-t the cf these dced. Mar; and Louisville circuit, in Blount coun'y, Lere Mr. Nctil was whipped, is not in my district. Such m-thoJs of promoting the ends of a sectional, dislcjal hs is the M. E.

Church South 1:1 aro ns unworthy and The Corners Kebel BenndlafiAn nf JohnsGn by the Slonchy Democracy of that Democratic Locality. Post Offis, Confedbit (Which is in the Stait uv Kentucky. January 25, 18G3. The Corners mvt lust nicht to consider tho eituashen uv tho country, and in view uv the impendin crisis, it wuz voted that I be instructed to pen a address to A. Johnson ecttin forth tho troubles to wich he hcz brot us, and scjestin remedies.

The Corners meets frekently. I fact when cash runs low and Bascom rcl'oozes to trust, wo hold a politikle meetin. It acts as a stirnulent and takes tho place of our nateral sustenance. Very comfortable. Thus em- powed, I wrote cz follows, wich will, I doubt not, make a sensashen when it reaches Washington To A.

Johnson, lym. V. S. Tho Democracy uv Confedrit Koads, which is in tho State uv Kentucky, represents the Democracy uv tho rest uv the btate, and uv the country cz well, cannot hold tueir Pfacc 110 longer. They must sneak or best.

They heard the news, and ther hcz bin nothin but weepin at tho Corners eince. Bascom, that stcrlin patriot, is Bheddin pearls by the bucket full, Deckin Porram weeps not in drops, but in streems, anacz for me, you wooden't beleevc tho amount uv pockit handkerchers I hev con-fiumed. Never hcz ther bin sich moist time at tho Corners, never hev wc lived in sich an atmosphere uv dampnis. I ehel ppeck plainly. I am not afecred to epeek.

Yoo can't remove me. The tenur uv offla act pertecttf me and yoo ca. ra- mnra nil cfciuviaieels itscli outraged. When the Corners took stock you, tho Corners sposed yoo hed nerve enuff to run tho Ad-ministrashen yoorself. Tho Corners felt that her intrests wuz safe in yoor hands.

We to wunst coramenct operatin from that utand-pint, Deckin got his niggers together, sieh uv cm ez hedn't bin sacrifist at dirTrcnt times, and commenst wallupin ov cm cz ov yoor, and the others in this visini-ty givo ther'n tho opshen ov quietly sub-mittin to ther inevitable fate, or bcin shot. Wat wuz the result? The. Freedmen's Burrow come in, and them niggers, instid ov being made servants unto their brethren hev bin permitted to accumulate property and live in all rospecks jist cz tho they wuz white men uv the dominant race. Agin this injustico we held up our hands, and yoo hev made many passes towards rccti-fyin it, but to what avail? Sich woaknis never before disgraced tho histry uv Amer-ikin politiks. oo kep Stanton in place ontil the voice uv an indignant Democrisy demanded his removal.

Then wuz yoor opportunity. Ther wuz Dimocrats who wood hev took it. Ginral Steed man or Ginral K06SO wood cither uv cm hev bin glad to serve tho country in that capasily, but blindly yoo rushed upon fate by puttin in that place Grant. Grant, whoso hands if? stained with Southern blood, which he baint washed off, Grant, the Ablishcn candidate for tho Presidency Grant, who by ceonomi6in at the rate uv about $25,000,000 per annum, demonstrated to the country the Btealin that wuz goin on in tho other departments. Grant, who is cz much worse than Stanton ez a head lite to a locomotive is superior to a taller candlo? Oh, wot lunacy Oh, wot weakness Then agin.

The people uv tho Third Deostrick groaned under the oppressions uv Pope that is, tho white people did. He wuz enrryiu out with ruthlis severity the laws uv a usurpin Congris. He wuz a pcrsekootin tho saints ho wuz a guardin and pcrtectin tho pic-bald Convenshen wich is wrcstin from us ono uv our best States. Alabama cried out in agony and 3 00 hecrd her. How Yoo removed Pope and put in his place Meade.

We felt relieved not but that Meade's antecedents were agin us, but we did epose that yoo wood not agin fall into that same old trap. But yoo did. The lirt actuv tho cursed Meade wuz to remove the Govnor and Treasurer, who woodent pay tho expenses uv the uncon-ttooshnel Convenshen, and to-day the people who trembled at the name uv Pope shiver at tho menshen uv Meade. But yoor disgraco does not cud here. Forthwith an unconstooshncl Senit, from wich ten states are excluded, turns in and replaces Stanton, givin him agin the posi-shen uv wich you attempted to deprive him and yoo take It mild cz milk and ez a lamb Then agin.

Too hev instruktid yoor orgins to epred the report that Gen. Grant wuz in tho constant habit uv beln intoxicated! Miserable error! Mistaken policy! Yoo may possibly make eorae Ablishnist bleevo it and detach from him, bat yoo also attach tho entire Democrisy to him with hooks of steel. Fasten that charge upon him make Kentucky bloeve it, and Kentucky wood to-morrer givo him her electoral vote. Don't yoo remember that the Democrisy took no slock in yoo till after the 22d of Ffbrooary speech? anl diin't they support yoo corjelly from tbat time out? I hev no patheuee too add more. Indignantly I close this epistle.

I hev stood by yoo throo thick and thin. I wuz at yoor tide en two toors North and the one South; I apologized for yocr short com ins, glossed over yoor faults uuJ explained away yoor wcaknis. At Clove-laud, for instance, 1 told cm, after yoo Led made yoor speech, that yoo were drunk, when yoo wasn't, and hundreds uv other times I hev explained away yoor execntrisities Fimilarly. And further, it wuz mo that prokoored on yoor Crt trip the only endorsement yoo 1 oxTrcain neither by words or countenance fetait UV MicLugan, fctary Beward in hia Speech in response ta tha calia for Grant remarked, "Yoo can't divide Gen. Grant from tho President ho is with us 1" Ez the words left the Secretaries lips, ez cf by inspirashen I pulled a pin from my coat and plunged it intu the General just about two inches below the buttons on his coat behind.

Uv coarse ho bowed not gracefully, but it wuz a bow. lie hec cost me more labor more financial ability to keey yoo agoin than wood hev suficed to hev bot a small German Kingdom and run it. But I ehel do it no more, I withdraw miself from voor support. Mr sclf-resncct will cot longer permit mo to rank myself wun yoor endorsers. Ihe Corners is outraged, Dcokin Pogram 13 outraged, and Bascom is outraged.

Yoo mite hev njado for yoorself a namo and a place in history, but its too late. We ehel nominato for President some ons who will bo troo to his friends and terrible to his enemies; who will, ef elected, at least carry out ez much uv Democratic principle ez ther happens to bG left at that time, roor short stay in the ranks uv Ablishnism rooined yoo. Yoo lost yocr distinktive characteristics, and are now a poor bein, combinin in yoor persom evrythin that is bad in both organizations with nothin that is good. The Corners re-poodiate yoo.

Sir: We beg leave to call your attention, and earnest co-operation of yourself and the enterprising citizens of your town and county, in the enterprise, now inaugurated, to improve the Tennessee River. To this end, a Convention is called to meet at Chattanooga, Tennessee, on the third Wednesday (18th) of March next, ftt which time the presence of delegates from your immediate eection arc especially invited, or, in case you cannot furnish a representative, it is requested that you send to the Chairman proxies to socure your representation and that you hold preliminary meetings, and give such expression in aid of tho enterprise as will enable tho Convention to further the interest of our section of country. Invitations have gone out to all the principal points on the Tennessee Eivcr, from the extreme eastern counties of Tennessee to Paducah, Kentucky, and the adjacent cities of St. Louis, Louii ville and Cincinnati, as well as to New Orleans- and Memphis, with a view of concentrating, on that occasion tho wisdom and energies of the people, and especially those along the line of this river. Tho Government of the United States, through the War Dopartmcnt, has just fin ished a survey of the lennesseo Kivcr, from Chattanooga to its mouth, with a design of removing the obstructions to navigation, at the "Muscle Shoals" and tho buck, which are the moBt formidable.

With the removal of these obstructions, tho Valley of the Tennessee will be placed in immediate communication with the Ohio and Mississippi Eivers. It is believed the advantages of proposed moasuro are so great that it only needs such a popular demon stration as is designed to bo effected at this Convention, to induce Congress to make the necessary appropriations. The Government of the United States has heretofore expended a large 6um of money in removing these obstructions, and in build-ins a Canal, which remains only to be completed. The advantages to be derived by this section ot country ironi the opening of navigation, cannot be computed, as it will afford a new and cheaper outlet for tho vast mineral and airricultural products 01 East Tennessee, and return at greatly re- duccd cost, tho products 01 tne Aropics, ana the manufactures of the North and West, (Kr-V ilo ability of thA ponpl to such an extent as will moro thau compensate the Government for tho trifling appropriation required. We, therefore, re quest that you present this Circular to the Honorable County Court of your county, or to tho Municipal authorities of your city or town, and have appointed delegates to this Convention.

also invite the candid co-opcratioD, in every possible way, of every citizen. We arc assured that delegates to and from this Convention will be passed over the respective railroads at half fare. Trusting that you will give this matter immediate and earnest attention, and that tho people of vour section will be fully represented in this Convention, we remain, Yours, Respectfully, W. P.
