1 0 The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron
Works be to call the attention of capitalists iron
jianutaciurers, slock and dairy, men, and those
who wish to settle cOiOules, to their property.wulch
offers inducements to the classes above named.
The properly consists ol tilx Thousand Three
Bundled Acres ol land, located In the counties of
Gasiun and Cleavdlaiul, lu the State of North Car
olina, at King's-Atuuiiiaui Depot, on the Atlanta
and Charlotte Ah- .lue railway, now owded by the
Richmond and Dtiuville railroad company. The
" property has been used lor hf ly years past as an
mm property, and ihas oeen worked at various
points, but clileuy jut the site of the eelebratei
Yellow hidge Ore Bank, which has always yielded
an ore noted lor It richness in metallic Iron, and
its softness and .toughness. This vein of oie,
which extends tori two miles In length, has been
worked to the uept - f 147 feet, shewing at that
depth a vein ol ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz
ing as high as 6i -per cent, ol metallic Lou. This
velu has not been worked for twenty years, but the
' tacts set lorth can be lully shown. Various other
veins have been worked, and within toe past two
years very large deposits ot Iron ore have been dis-
' covered at other points. Within the past eighteen
months, however, the owuer&tvive discovered de
posits of ore lu Crowder's Mountain, (live veins of
iron ore, are exposed), which were unknown be
fore, and which will furnish an amount of good
ore, easily, worked and above water, that must
wake it one of the most desirable Iron properties
" to be found. They have discovered on the pinnacle
of this mountain, which is- 10u0 feet' above the level
land, 2200 feet above the sea leve', a vein of ore
eight feet wide, which crops out at various points
from the top to the bottom of the mountain, show
ing in one place about 20 feet of solid vein. This
vein cah be traced over the top of the mountain for
over a mile; and this deposit alone would afford an
almost inexhaustible supply of re, easily worked,
and above the water line. In addition to this four
other velna bpve been found on this mountain.
- The ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis
from 49 to 65 per cent, of metallic iron, with a
'" small amount of titanic acid, and without any sul
phur or phosphorus. The quantity of ore in this
mountain Is simply inexhaustible and of good
quality. " s '- : ' -. -i 1 .
Besides Crowder's Mountain the owners possess
' King's Mountain for about seven miles, whose
- pinnacle is the highest point of laud from Rich
mond to Atlanta, except Mt, Airy, in Georgia, and
they have reason to believe this mountain is full of
ore also. In addition to iron ore the property has
manganese, limestone clay for .making fire-proof
brick, gold and other minerals. Very pure and ex
celierit barytese has Just been found In large quan
tity " . - .-, i- . . , - - i - t 4

THE NEED FOR MORE MONEY.
Congress has just been reconvened,
after the usual holiday vacation, and
it seems to have been decided that
mo3to the remaining term of ton
gress will be taken up with bills al
ready before our law makers,and that
little new business can or will be' in
troduced.. There is one measure, now
on the calendar in the House, already
passed by the Senate, which it seems
to us is all important and that is the
McPherson bill. ' " ?
This measure, if we remember Jit
correctly, limply allows the National
Banks to issue their notes to the ex
tent of the value of the bonds deposit
ed by them, as security for the pay
ment of tho notes. ! Under the present
law the banks are allowed to issue
ODly eightyfive per cent, of the face
value of their bonds. A one thousand
dollar fdur per cent.- bond is- worth
on the market 1.21$ -say 1.20, and
the $1,000 bond is' worth $1,200. Now
the bank is only allowed underithe
present law to issue $850 on this bond,
or in other words, $350 is practically
buried.'" A bank with one hundred
thousand dollars capital" starting in
business today could only issue
eighty-five thousand dollars in bank
notes, upon an outlay of one hundred
and, twelve thousand dollars, if the
four per , cent. ibonds ' were i used as t
basis of circulation. ...There are aboiit
2,500 National,Banks in the country",
with an average Ranking capital ,of
$140,000, giving a bank' note circula
tion pf $350, 000,000,. and according to
this ratio, $88,000,000 are dead capital
under the present banking law.. Un
der the McPherson bill, the amount
would be $385,000,000 on ;the same
capitals j '- 4 ;r?-; - .1
According to the statement sent
uut the first day of January of the
bank ndtes- really outstanding, $40,
000,000 are locked tip in the New York
banks alone, ? and the " National Bank
circulation has been decreased about
$30,000,000 during the year. j
According to a speech made some
time ago by Senator ; Bayard in the
United States Senate, there were only
$1,275,000,000 of all kinds of money,
including legal tenders, National
Bank notes, gold and silver, in the
United States, or about $20 to each
individual. 5 Now it is plain if any
single individual has more than $20,
his excess must reduce the general
average, 'and ''hard times" must be
felt by the general-public, while only,
the few share in the surplusTf J'. : ,
Under - this general shrinkage of
circulation9 a -general shrinking of
values has been going on for some
years. How great this shrinking has
been is shown by the. following com
parative ' table " of leading products,
prepared by the New York Kail and
Express, showing the difference be
tween the wholesale Now York prices

t- With reference to the beginnings
of the Amencan cotton : trade one
hundred years ago, Baine states that
the first consignment of American
cotton to Liverpool was in 1785, and
consisted of five bags ! According to
Dr. Aikip, the cotton imported for
the manufacturers in 1787 was of the
following growths:
British Islands estimated at, lbs . . . s . . 6 600.000
French and Spanish settlements 6 000 000
Butch Settlements l,700,oor
Portugese, ditto ....2,500,000
East Indies, procured from Ostend.... .1 . ' 100,000
Smyrna, or Turkey..... .... 6,700,000
Total ,.....' .-. .v....: . . . : 22,600,000
The first two bags of America .Sea
Island ever imported into England
were bought by Mr. Robert Owen,
who was then manager of the Bank
Top Mill and was known only as a
Erosperous ; Manchester man,- not
aving yet , embarked 'upon these
schemes for the regeneration - of the
world by which he afterwards : be,
came famous. The date of this pur
chase wa? 1791, and the bargain was
made with' Mr. Robert Spear. It
was a sister of this gentleman who
introduced Owen to his future wife;
the daughter of David Dale, of , New
Lanark, in whose mills Owen after.
wards showed his powers of organic
zation and his care for the physical
and imoral well being of his employ
ees LThe late Mr. E-WBinnew, F.
R. S., on examining some of the pa?
persj of Mr. George Walker, who
wasone of the founders of the " Man
Chester Literary and Philosophical
Society, discovered in them some
curious data respecting ' the cotton
trade, One is a calculation that in
190 112,400 packages of cotton were
imported into Great Britain (' 99,000
B and P. West India, supposed 260 lb
each j 13,400 bales Turkey, supposed
260.1b. each.") It was supposed that
the manufactories had used 80,000
West India at 160 lb. net each, 12,
800,000 at 15id -827,000; 12,000
Turkey, at 260 lb net each, 3,120,000
lb. at 10 1 2d 136,500. .Then reck
oning 15,920,000 lb. at 6s. 8d., the
-value of the cloth when finished and
for sale is 5,310,000, leaving 4,316,
500 for wages and profit. -; It is re
markable that in this estimate : none
of the cotton is described as coming
from; America. 'Another, table, how
ever, shows clearly the great change
that was taking place, - From 1806 to
1812 there were importations to Liv
erpool of cotton-from America, ; Bra
zil, Portuual, Demerara and Berbicef,
Surinam, Trinidad,. Dominica and
Granada, Tortola, Antigua, St. Vin.
cent, Nevis, &a; St. Thomas, Jamai
ca, Bahamas, - St. Lucia, j Ireland,
Mediterranean 'Azores, &c; and ,St.

were from New Orleans. - The busis

,,R4;r;:Aa Adamless Eden.-'" '
The seldom heard of South Ameri
can Republic, Paraguay; comes very
near realizing on a large scale an
Adamlessf Eden. : Till lately there
have been no trustworthy returns pt
Paraguay's population, . the- governs
mens proclaiming mirfcjr jrcaio ogu a
population of more than a million, or
four times more than .the. Republic
ever had., . With1 an estimated popu
lation of 400,000 twenty yeais ago, it
is believed that one nail or il was loss
in five years, mostly males, by battle
and disease, -t xne, actual census -1
1879 gives 346,000, of whom more
than two thirds were women. -The
enormous disproportion between the
sexes is the result of war, and a revo
lution or two ought to clean up the
men entirely.- " " " '
. .Aa it is. the women farm, manufac
ture, buy, sell and do nearly all the
work, leaving revolutions and cock
fighting to tthe ', few men, . and- the
marvel is that : the j women do not
control the government. Doubtless
it is for want of a competent lead
er i like Belva' Lockwood, . who
might find a field for herJPresidential
aspirations ana prospects u
The countrv also opens induce
ments to immigration for the prepon
derating DODulationof Massachusetts
women. An influction of this aesthet
ic element would suggest the speedy
of name from Paraguay to
Paradise. . ' -,

FOR COLORED VOUTHS.
A School of Industrial and JBecliaalcal
' ' Arts to he Established.
Philadelphia Times. '
' The movement among colored cit
izens - for " the - establishment of . a
school ' of : mechanic - and industrial
arts for colored students, has resulted
in the purchase of a lot1 of 1 ground,
100 feet front by --JKXP in "depth,; on
; South street above 'Ninth; 'immedi
ately in the rear pf the institute J.f or
coloredyouths, on Bainbridge street.
The cost of the lot was $17,000 part
of which was paid x and ai' mortgago
given for the remainder. A commit-,
tee has been appointed to visit thp
industrial schools throughout ' thfe
country for the purpose of securing
for the" institute the best features of
the different schools. - i
;f A meeting will be held at ' Associal
tion Hall upon the return of the com
mittee to.which the public 5 will ty
invited and full plans- will be pre
sented. About $1,000 has already
been contributed, in sums ranging
from one to ten cents,! by the Sunday
School children of the! different col
ored Methodist Episcopal' churches.
It is thought the sum of 1 100,000 will
be required for the -erection t of - the
building, and the" furnishing of the
necessary models and tools. " Mrs. F.
M; Coppiri, .of 724 - South Eighteenth
street, the secretary of the commit
tee on arrangements, ! will issue ' to
morrow a circular descriptive of the
wants of the" colored youth and of
the great help to the coming genera

. Just open the 4oor for -her. and Mrs. WInslow
will prove the American Florence Nightingale of
the nursery. . Of this we are so sure that we will
teach our Susy to say, 'A Blessing on Mrs. Wins
low" for helping her to survive, and escape the
griping, eolicklng" and teething siege. Mrs. Wins
low's Soothing Syrup relieves the child from pain,
and cures dysentery and diarrhoea. It softens the
gums, reduces Inflammation, cures wlndcollo, and
earries the infant through .the teething period. It
performs precisely what if professes to perform,
every part of It nothing Usa, We have never seen
Jllrs. Winslow know hercraly through the prepa
ration of her "Soothing Syrup : for Children Teeth
ing." If we had the power we would make her,
as she is, a physical saviour to the Infant race.
