The Morning Star has frequently
directed attention to the iron pro
ducing capacity of the State of North
Carolina. The fullest information at
tainable in jegard to the subject has
beeu laid befpre ' bur - readers from
time to time, for we have always re
garded it as a matter of prime impor
tance. The iron produced in North
Carolina is jof j the very best quality
and is largely diffused through differ
ent sections of the State. It is not
our present purpose to recapitulate
these localities and the efforts that
are making to develop this, great re
source, j
A Southern
contemporary presents
some figures,! borrowed from letters
and statements which it has seen,
showing the great advantage of iron
manufacture in the South over the
North. The cost of making a ton of
pig metal in Pittsburg, as shown by
one of the papers of that city is
$25 02; while the cost of making a
tori of metal of the same quality at
Camberland Works, Tennessee, in-:
eluding the cost of transportation,' is
only $16, making a difference of $9
per ton iq. favor, of Southern iron.
This profit on 30,000 tons a year would
be very handsome: ' : :' '
MK Lothian Bell, Vibe great iron
man of the world, stated on his return
- , . i- i - - .
from a visit to the United States, in
i - - - . .
an address to tbe British' Iron and
Steel Institute, that " Tennessee, Ala-
- i . f --...7-J..- -m-? ,,r.. , - . r ,
uama ana yreorgia couia proa nee iron
at a little over half the cost in the
North Pennsylvania and as cheap
as the most favored localities in Great
Bi it ain." ' Not only Is this iron cheap,
but it- is also of the finest quality. An
irin manufacturer, in a letter written
to' the Pittsburg Jteoiew, state that
" the iron from Philadelphia and Ten
nessee has L brough ' in Philadelphia
sixty three dollars a - ton, ' and gave
character and tone to high priced
Northern iron that the Northern iron
1 . ! ' ' m .'
of. itself didjnot possess,1 '
Throughout the iron region of the
South are. found beds of ore contain
ing from fifty seven to fifty-nine per
cent, of pure metallic iron, and these
beds are almost inexhaustible. . With
an abundant supply o"f coal nfear at
hand, every facility is afforded for
the lull development of this great in-
erest.jii.N m-.t
What w-e have said of iion is true,
as we, have repeatedly asserted, con
cerning cotton manufactures. l.We
can spin cotton yarns In the South
and sell them in New York consider
ably lower than the 'New England
factories can.' This being acknowl

!. We see that this spirit is animatf

Sun describes " the visit; of the snb
Committee on Appropriations to the

who sit under the shadow of the
grave and respectable Secretary Fish
were surprised when they were, asked
to furnish a list at expenditures: in
each diplomatic post. They tried the
dodge of putting the Committee oft
as they had always pot off Republi-:

statement, but this did not suit this
Committee, who, are bent on reform
and economy. The

United States Commissiqners to

important mission some ten thousand!

tributed equally amongst them.:
When their' accounts Came in, they!

HEW YORK'S fm IRISH ING GRAIN
. TRADE. .:
New York is startled, alarmed.
The statistician of her Produce Ex
change demonstrates by the ice-cold,
iron-bound logio of figures that she
is fast losing her business in grain,
which is going to other. Atlantic ports.
The report of the Exchange would
gull the public into believing that the
cause is temporary, namely: the high
lighterage and transfer charges,
whereas the truth would seem to be
the astonishing growth and enterprise
of Baltimore and other rivals.
Let us examine some of these figures
which carry 'such terror and well
they may to the great eightipagers
of the GotbamiteN press. Truly those
Titanic- Philistines- begin to feel that
New York may not after all be the
focal point of the sniverse. The re
ceipts, of flour and grain at Monreal,
Boston, Portland, Philadelphia, Bal
timore and New Orleans were 63,7 71,
695 bushels' during " the first nine
months of 1874, and 63,445,031 bush
els during the first , nine months of
1S75, a loss of only 326,664 bushels.
But at Montreal there was a loss in
receipts of grain of 656,373. bushels
so that at the five American ports
there was a small gain. On the other
hand, receipts at New York: during
the first nine months' of 1874 were
84166,049 bushels, an.4 . duriog the
first nine months of 1875 '. only 63,-!
234,201 bushels, a loss Of .20,931,848
bushels, or nearly one-duarter. In
grain, excluding flourj the loss at New1
York was 18513-busheduri
fourth, for receipts of grain in 1874
were Idofi1. buishelsand Jpj87
only 49,118,531 bushels. ' But during
; r'-.i-;o-(.iv,V-!-!;'.;li'!!s'::;J'i'
the same nine months recemts of erain
!alone at'ilbe five American ports were
larger than during the corresponding
period in 1874 by 1 4,Qb0,390 ( bushels:;
; .We do not exult in any city's inju
ry. . The prosperity .of Kew ; York
ought. to be and is, in a measure, the
prosperity ot; all. the country. But
these melancholy ' revelations should
have a salutary effect in checking that
arrogance in. the bearing of the Met
ropolitan city towards those who are
scarcely her' inferiors in any respect
which we have always seen,' to be
ridiculous and which will if persisted
in result in nothing tbut j shame and
folly. Great ' cities are universally
supercilious.' but there ' is ; a limit "to
tbe superciliousness of even London
and Paris.! There seems to be. none

commencing at Paint Sock and leading to
wards Asbeville. j .
j The road-bed from Old Fort to Malone's

has already been shipped at Philadelphia
for this port, but has not yet arrived. The
freight receipts on this road fori November
