The geological survey of our State, so far, has fully established the reputed mineral wealth of the southern counties.

Especially in the article of iron do we possess an almost boundless supply, and of the very best quality. In the counties of Pope and Henderson alone, there is iron enough to build a hundred rail-roads to the Pacific. The ore is the Brown Hematite' Cur more valuable than the Missouri Iron Mountain ore because, although not quite rich, it is more easily mined, and far more easily-worked. Extensive banks of ore, accessible without mining, extend for miles over the country parallel to the Ohio river, and within a few miles of it; with abundance of coal for, smelting while the sandstone for building furnaces, and the limestone for fluxing the ore, are both lying almost in contact with the ore beds. It is known that two or three furnaces have been st ruarelinfir fr existence, in ft this iron region, for some years past but although the iron manufactured has always brought from three to five dol-lars per ton more than other iron in the market, yet, from foreign competition, the manufacture has not proved profitable.

But a new mode of making iron a Yankee discovery is now corning into use, by which malleable iron is made from the ore by a single beating. Furnaces are now in operation in Ohio on this plan, and their success was perfect, making superior railroad iron at a savin-of fifty per cent, on former methods. Yankee ingenuity has, therefore, done what the Government has refused to do enabled the people to build their railroads of American iron, from American mines, and smelted by American coal. The day is therefore not far distant) when those now unoccupied lands in "Egypt" will teem with the products of agricuU-ure and her iron mines tarnish the materials for the innumerable railroads which must still be built. The question has already been decided be tween the comparative value of American and foreign iron for railroads.

On the Hudson River railroad, one track is laid with American, and the other wilh English iron and the "American Rail. way Times," says that "the American has been in use several years lunger than the English, and is scarcely worn all, while the English will have to be replaced in a year or two." Not onlv superior to ordinary American iron, that for several years, when it was nearh liable article.

Can anything be more palpable and obvious than the character of such policy?

Robbery.

The store of H. P. Merriman, of this place, was entered on Friday night last, by picking the lock of one of the doors, and robbed of some two hundred dollars worth of goods, and a few dollars in change. Mr. Merriman requests us to say that if hi friends will call on him by daylight, he thinks that he can make better selections for them than they can make in the night, and at such prices as will make stealing unprofitable.

For ourself, we would suggest to our friends about town to be prepared to mark these night operators so that they shall be known by day. should they escape from the spot. When these gentry break into buildings in the night time, the proprietors have a rglit to suppose that they intend to take life, if they cannot effect their purposes without; and may, as it is an individual affair, employ individual defence by anticipating the action ofthe robber this is the kind of capital pun-ishmea! we believe in. CV Since the above was written, the robbers in number, have been arrested in the immediate vicinity, and lodged in the county jail most of the stolen property was also recovered. Fortunately the Circuit Court is just nnw iu ses- sion, in this place, and, without wishing to manufacture public sentiment by any of those dangerous "off-hand opinions of ihe press," so much depricated in certain quarters, we trust these gentlemen will soon be introduced into the "State Institution" at Alton.

To the voters of Bloomingon As the Cily Council have, by a recent order, directed a vote to be taken on a proposition to subscribe s.ock in the Mississippi Wabash Railroad, stiller me to invite your attention to a few hastily -prepared remarks, in reference thereto. It constitutes no part of my present design, to go into any argumentation to show the import. nice of ibis road to our future development and prosperity as a city, nor yet in support of the position that, from its important connections, both east and west its latitudinal dissection the exh mstless min- irl rpsinirces on lis western division i. nf nnnlar luin.ier i nmrlit-u tn its it. ern terminus together with the unsurpassed excellence of the country traversed by it there is no enterprise now on foot in our State, deserving higher consideration.

All who have (jiven the LU UC ll.ai 111 liMfMi I i iii i i 'je deeply impressed with this com ie-i tun. For the present I shall limit my observations to a brief expose of the nature and effect of the contcm plated cily subscription, considered more especially in its financial bearings. I shall endeavor to do this in a way to be understood by all, as the measure is a new one, and with which but few of us have had any practical acquaintance. There is, too, another, and totally distinct question presented by order of the city authori- ties, to wit: A subscription of a similar I amount in aid of a road from here to i Quincy, on which I propose offering some remarks in a future number. The proposition submitted for our decision, and to which I now propose call-; ing your attention, is shall the cily, in its corporate capacity, subscribe for fifty thousand dollars of t.ick in the Mississippi Wabash Railroad, payable by an issue of bonds, or promissory notes, redeemable in tweu'y years, and peering an interest of seven per cent, payable annually.

If, as I canno- permit to doubt, ihe people settle this (ineUn affirmatively, it will become the duty of tiie Mayor to subscribe five hundred shares of one hundred dollars each, as toek in said road, in the same manner as is done by individuals in Iheir private i capacity. Here, however, the analogy I ceases for whilst the individual is compelled to pay in cash his installments of 5, 10, or 15 per cent, as the case maybe, the corporation is permitted to substitute, in lieu thereof, its bonds due in 20 years, bearing an interest winch must be paid annually. Whenever an in-Jstallment of these bonds are delivered to the company iu payment ofthe corporate subscription, the cityr is en-tilled to, an 1 will receive, iu exchange i therefor, a like amount of stock certili-I cates, which will entitle the corporation to an equal participation with other stork holders in the dividends or profits the rn.id The Trlvm of thi cates oi stock are dependent wholly up-j on the character and business of the road, and the economy and prudence with which it is managed and if the friends ofthe enterprise are not wholly mistaken in regard to both, they wili very soon be convertible into cash, at or above par. In a recent letter, addressed to a friend of this improvement, the I S. White, President of the Hoi- -V omp in and whose most sueee extensive d'ul projec experience as a eetor and leader in eonstiiutes him one uiroaii enternrize oi ine most competent pudges in a question of this nature, says "there is no doubt but that every dollar of stock subscribed, will be, before the road is iin convertible into cash, at above par.

Such is the opinion of one who is not only profoundly versed in railroad connections and statistics, but whose general acquaintance with the country, both in its physical and Statistical features, is inferior perhaps to no man in that great geographical division ()1ir country known as the "J5orth-VVesl Such, too, are the opinions of the Hon. a. L.

Mr. proposes, as a remedy to ihe growing scarcity of silver, that gold be made the standard of value and a legal tender, throughout th British possessions in the Oriental world. That done, perhaps it will not be necessary for store keepers to ladle out three cent pieces, when a small sum is to be subtracted from a five dollar bill.

Editor, that is too much to ask the community to read that article arain. is toorm-l mtuA are its nauseating properties, that to read it once is sufficient to induce the heaves. Rut, sir, to be serious, we charge that your article was a cringing and cowardly concern surpassed in these qualities only by i's futility an article which no mm, whose character and conduct were irreproachable, who was conscious of a life Imuj integrity of purpose, should ever have allowed himself to write an article which richly merited the traat- ment it has received Not withstanding such was the character of the article, we let it pass in silence, believing that its readers, few or many, would appreciate its merits, having no disposition. men or now. to iniure the char.mtev nl the editor, cither moral, or literary.

But when the inquiry was made by a neighboring editor, not acquainted in this vicinity, concerning an article so intimately implicating the public sentiments of this communily, we felt called upon to answer that such a cowering spirit as was indicated in that article, was monopolized in Bloomington by one individual the editor of the Times. And again ay a thousand times, (hat article was no index to the public spirit of this community. As to the'insinuation of abolition tendencies on our part, we pass it over in silent contempt, as we have scores of others of like meanness, comincr from the same press within imm month. too ridiculous for us to reply to such i a charge in this Comity. And now, Mr.

Editor of the Times, I'd give you a little advice as it is evident you very much need it from some quarter. Should we occasionally curry down a little, as onnortimittr r. sents, don't get so toploftical about it. and Imagine the hole community is going into fits everv time you whine. If you teach the public to pity y0ll because you can stand up to it, be assured they ill flon despise you on the same account-U'e like to train a nag of some mettle, but if you pitch and splurge so terribly at trifles we shall be obliged in silence to leave you to range at ill, as we did the long-cared animal your iminediat predecessor.
