TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12,1871.

To Capitalists.

Recent experiments have demonstrated the fact that Bessemer Steel Rails can be made in Indiana at a cost of from twenty to thirty dollars less perton than the price of foreign rails delivered in New York City Capitalists in Chicago are engaged in the folly of freighting Indiana pig iron and Indiana coal to that city for the manufacture of steel rails, which cost five dollars per ton more than if made in Indiana. —Indianapolis Journal.

We find the above double-leaded paragraph at the head of the leading column of the Indianapolis Journal of this morning. It states an important fact, and one in which this city is much inter ested—:i fact that is destined to make Terre Haute one of the most prosperous manufacturing points on the continent. We lay down this proposition, and we defy a successful contradiction of it, viz that Tcrrc Haute is the closest point to the block coal fields, where there is an abundant supply of water sufficient to meet the requirements of large manufacturing establishments of iron that can be obtained all the year. If this is not true, we would be glad to have some one show us why it is not. And if it is true, why move the coal over fifty miles of road in order to reach Indianapolis, when it can be brought to this city by a transportation of only fifteen miles, and at the same time be closer to the iron ore by seventy miles? We call the attention of capitalists who

examining the situation, to this important fact. And we call their attention further to this city as a healthy location, where all that is necessary to support life can be procured as cheaply as at any other point, and where the facilities for education are as great as anywhere.

WE clip the following from the money column of the Chicago Tribune: A DL'S Moines paper ot the 5th savs the resident stockholders in the Ropublic Inmi ranee Company have received a circular from tho headquartors of the company, calling on ti.o.ii to pay tlio remaining 80 por cent., at tho rate of 10 per cent, per month, and notifying tliom that tho company proposes to collect this and continue business. It is understood that a meeting of the Des Moines stockholders will bo hold soon to consider the situation and decide on tho course they will pursue. Somo of them are reported as boing in favor of* paying up and continuing business, while still others think it best 'hat the company should go into bankruptcy. It is probable that the course pursued by the Des Moines stockholders will bo a fair index of what will bo tho course pursued by the country stockholders generally. A few weeks ago wo mentioned'-that tho stockholders in tho Ropublic could cloar oil' their entire indoliteduess by buying up llie oompany's certificates of indebtedness at about sixty cents on the dollar, which is their present market price. In this way the total amount that the stockholders would have to pay, would be about $1,250,000 instead ol $4,000,000 as would bo required to pa3' the lull of 80 por cent."

That the stockholders in this company are liable to an assessment on their stock, sulTicient to pay all the loss of the company, we suppose no person with the least knowledge of law will deny. But that they are liable for any more than this, we very much question. That the Republic should ever think of resuming business, seeius to our mind preposterous, since it is well known that its managers endeavored to compromise its losses at twenty-five cents on the dollar. That elFort destroyed public confidence, and the best thing tho Republic can do is to adopt the Lntin words, non est tanti.

Conl Famine Again.

We learn that the supply of coal received during the late rise will be exhausted before January 1st. If the present cold snap continues, a coal famine is inevitable, and wo may expect fabulous prices to prevail. The dealers who purchased form six to tifteen barges of coal, two weeks ago, have disposed of towthirds of their stocks already. If tho cold continues a frozen river in inevitable.— Louisville Commercial.

Well, then, why do you not take an interest in the New Albouy A Terre Haute Railroad, and finish it by next wilder, and have better coal brought to your doors from'the counties of Ureeue, Clay and Vigo than you are now getting l»y the river? Why d» you not do this, and not in the future be dependent on a "frozen river" for something to keep you warm and keep your factories running? Has not Louisville yet found out, that this contemplated road ttins over the best block coal fields in the State, and that it can supply her witlT coal cheaper than she is now getting it, and in such a manuer that "coal famines" will uever occur again? If she has not yet discovered this, would it not be advisable for her to set about looking iu this direction? The Ohio river is a "slow coach," and the time has gone by among active, enterprising men when water transportation is to be depended on, to supply the wants of a lightning and steam age. Turn your attention to/the New Albany & Terre Haute Railroad, Mr. Commercial, and quit talking about "coal famines."

New Railroad.

We have before us the 8t. Louis Democrat cbntuiuing a large map of a ue\v railroad to run from St. Louis to New York. The engraving is prefaced with the following head lines "The one great need of the hour—ft St Louis air line road to the East—a narrow gauge double track proposed—low freights aud quick time. All our interests demand its How the road uiay be built. $16,000,000 to be raised iu the counties It will serve,"

What is a Mtle interesting about this proposed road, is, that we see from the

iRSSIS

map, that it runs about twenty miles south of this city. This we must not permit, and gentlemen are here who say that it can be brought to this city. Let us keep an eye open to this great enterprise. The time has come when Terre Haute must be wide awake.

From the New York Tribune.

A STATE GROWING RICH.

Mineral Wealth and Railway Development.

The "Block" or Iron-Smelting: Coal* of Indiana—The Railroads Organised for Their Development.

To the Editor of the Tribune: SIR: Indiana is rapidly assuming a front rank among the States of the Union. She has been hitherto principally noted for her agricultural productions. It was well known that her soil was fertile, that the annual yield in corn and wheat was enormous, that she possessed a magnificent body of timber lands, aud that her natural and artificial communications gave her free access to'the markets of the world. But now she is entering upon another phase—that of a mining and manufacturing State. This change has been wrought by the discovery, in her coal fields, of one or more seams of coals which have, iu a crude State, all the properties of char-coal for reducing iron ores, and bringing out a soft carbonaceous pig metal, susceptfble of conversion into a tough, malleable iron, or into Bessemer steel. The latter is the severest test which can be applied to the various forms of fossil fuel. These peculiar coals, to which the term "block" has been applied, occur near the base of the coal measures, and can be traced, with occasional interruptions, all the way from the middle line of Fountain county, about 100 miles south of Lake Michi gan, to the Ohio River, a distance of more than 150 miles, entirely within the State of Indiana. The conglomerate, for the most part a heavy-bedded sandstone, which rests at the base of the coal field, crops in bold ledges, and gives to the country a broken contour. Hence, in the projecting of the older railroads, this region was shunned, inasmuch as deep cuts and fills, as well as high grades and abrupt curves, were required. The projectors were ignorant of the inestimable wealth stored beneath the surface. Had, for instance, the Louisville, New Albany & Salem Railroad been located 20 pailes further west, it would have rivaled the

Reading railroad in the amount of its freights, and its stock would have commanded the highest premium in the market, instead of being, as it now is, in the hands of a receiver. It was but recently that the value of the block coals become known aud appreciated, Iu 18G7, the first furnace was erected, and soon after, the erection of six others followed. The success of these furnaces and the wide-spread demand for these coals as a domestic fuel, led to the organization of new lines of railway, some of which have been completed, while others are in the process of construction. A brief enumeration of these roads, and of the markets which they are intended to supply, may not be out of place. The St. Louis, Vandalia & Indianapolis Railroad crossed this coal-field already. The Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad, completed a little over a year ago, runs, so far as relates to the coal region, within cannon-shot of the St. Louis, Vandalia & Indianapolis Railroad. Instead of seeking to develop a new field, it boldly claimed to share with its rival in the traffic already developed. The Bloomington & Indianapolis Railroad, opened within the last two years, crosses the coal belt in Fountain county but thus far no collieries have been sufficiently developed to give to the road any substantial freight although the indications are that the peculiar seam carrying the block coals has its outcrop in that vicinity.

The Vincennes, Danville & Chicago Railroad, to be completed by the first of January, will form a more direct connection with Lake Michigan than any of the existing routes, and at the same time will have access to the Ohio river at Evausville. It has been built with ex press reference to the coal traffic, and hence all abrupt curves and steep grades have been avoided arid it is equipped with locomotives, capable of drawing trainsof forty cars. Its line is 15 miles or more from the outcrop of the block coals but it will receive its freights from the cross lines centering at Terre Haute. The Vincennes & Indianapolis Railroad crosses the coal field of Greene county diagonally, but unfortunately the block coal seam wedges out, or has been removed by drift agency iu this vicinity, at all events no mine of that particular coal lias been developed along its line.

The Indiana Mineral Railway, upon which work will be commenced next spring, will start at Bloonrfield and strike the Ohio river near Troy, having special reference to the development of the magnificent splint coal in the eastern part of Spencer county, the best in the whole series of Indiana coals.

The Logastport, Crawfordsville & Southwestern Railroad, just completed, intersects the block coals on Sand Creek, in Parke county, aqd through the Detroit & Eel River and the Toledo, Wabash & Great Western railroads, will secure easy access to the ports on the west shore of Lake Erie. Detroit lias her iron and copper smelting works, and Toledo her iron works which cannot fail to welcome this new source of supply of fossil fuel.

Last in the enumeration, but not least iu importance, is the Cincinnati A Terre Haute Railway, the grouud on whicb has just been broken. Starting at the great commercial city of Ohio, it will traverse a rich agricultural country, already dotted with farms, to Bloomings ton, where it will bifurcate, oue branch going to Terre Haute, and another via Bloomfield, to the Wabash river, where it will conuect with a projected road through the State of Illinois to St. Louis. It will cross the block coal region of the southern part of Clay county and the western part of Owen county, where the peculiar seam exhibits its widest expansion, and affords almost unequaled facilities for mining. It will also develop a large body of native iron ores in the vicinity of Bloomfield, and a thick seam of nas coal hi Sullivan county. It is confidently claimed by the projectors of this route, that the markebsin Cincinnati and LouUvHle.cnn be as cheaply supplied with block coal as with the bituminous ma is of Pittsburg or Youghigheny and that too without the possibility of a "coal famine," in case of a delay in the rising of the waters of the Ohio.

Thud it will be seen that, before the lapse of twwijrears, the mining of these irou-Snielting coals, instead of being restricted to a siiigte.district as at present, will be spread over a zone of 150 miles in extent and it requites ?uo prophetic vision to predict that, before the lapse of half a century, Indiana will rival Pennsylvania in the amount of her mineral products.

With your permission, I propose iu subsequent communications to describe the range -nd extent of the block-coals and their chemical and physical characteristics the iron ores, their chemioal composition and their accessibility-tothe coal and the facilities for the distribution of their products over widely-separa-ted regions. I was on the water-shed between Lake Superior and Lake Michigan before the iron deposits, which now yield nearly 1,000,000 tuns a year, were disturbed I saw the iron mouutain of Missouri before its sides were pierced, and when a few hundred tons of loose fragments of ore only were annually dug out of the ferruginous clay to supply two vn

or three charcoal furnaces apd I was at Brazil, Ind., vheu It was au indifferent railroad stition, wit'i a single shaft for the extraction of coal, which geologists passed by without heeding. In these matters, theo. I speak not as a

novice.

THE lovere of art will be delighted to learn that the famous Warwick vase is not included among the art-treasures which were lost by the burning of the noble old castle of the Earl of Warwick. It seems that the vase had been placed in a fine green-house in the grand court of the castle, and detached from State apartments. Vandyke's great portrait of Charles I. on horse-back, together with almost priceless pictures by Rubens, Rembrandt^JLeonarda da Vinci, Andea du Sarto, GuyJo, Holbien, Teniers, David, aud other great artists, are lost to the world forever. In addition, a magnificent library containing about five thousand volumes, many of which cannot be duplicated, is alao swept into oblivion. The castle itself was one of the great sights of England, and, perhaps, the best preserved of all the feudal strong-holds. Its destruction is a great historical event.

Four Erlls.—Whoever habitually uses any alcoholic preparations as an "appetizer" will be likely to suffer from four evils, viz.: an overplus or food in the stomach, impaired ability to digest it, the pangs of dyspepsia, and a doctor's bill. DR. WALKER'S VEGETABLE VIN EGAK BITTERS, the great Teetotal Restorative of the age, without over stimulating the palate of irritating the stomach, imparts a healthful appetite, promotes digestion, regulates the liver and bowels, purifies the blood, aud thus, instead of entailing four evils, confers four inestimable benefits. 6dw4w

DBY GOODS,

A A E N E

Our citizens are familiar with the claims put forth by certain of our competitors to being the "Leading House," "Tlie Great Headquarters," the "Chief Emporium," Ae. Some go so far as to assert in so many words, that their sales are larger than any other Dry Goods house in the city.

WE PROPOSE TO TEST THE QUESTION!

We believe our sales, even in our store before it was enlarged, and when we were

badly crippled for room, far exceeded those of any single Dry Goods establishment in

town. Now, owing to the splendid addition made to our store, which gives us, in our

three floors and basement, much the largest Dry Goods and Carpet Establishment in

this section of the State, we have ample room for doing an immense trade, and for

the accommodation of all our customers. Our recent sales, we believe, are

Greater than those of Any Two Other Dry Goods Houses

We propose to test the question by challenging any two of our competitors to com

COMPARE THEM THUS COMBINED WITH OURS,

Each firm to make affidavit to the correctness of the amount of sales reported, and to

permit inspection of any or all of their books that the committee may desire to ex

amine in order to arrive at a correct decision.

We propose to show this community that in spite of the fact that every one of the

Dry Goods merchants of this city are combined against us, and in most instances do

not scruple to employ means, however unworthy, to injure our trade, we are still so

grandly supported in our warfare upon high prices by the people, that our sales have

increased so rapidly as now to be, we believe, Greater than the Sales of any Two of

Now, gentlemen, walk up and "too the mark," or else admit you DARE NOT make

the comparison of sales asked for. In the latter case do not let us hear anything more

about your "Leading Emporiums" and "Great Headquarters."
