INDIANA'S MINERAL RESOURCES.

The Relation of Block Coal to Hie Iron Ores of Missouri and Lake Superior.

II Jell Iv ScienlificAiiHioriiy on a BJSglily nil {tori :t cat Subject to tSie S'copl» of 'ierj'f! rtssi Imtiuna.

Foster, L.. L. D., the most emi

nent practical geologist probably on this continent, lectured to a fair-sized audience of ladies and gentlemen at Dowling ll'ill last evening on the Mineral Resources of Indiana nnd its Relation to the Iron Ores of Lake Superior and Missouri.

Hon. it. W. Thompson introduced the venerable speaker in a few well chosen and happy word?.

TilK LECTURE IN BRIEF.

He acknowledged the courtesy extended by the citizens of Terre Haute. The scientific gentleman then proceeded. Coal \v:is first discovered in this country by La Salle's party, in 168-1. Just after the peace of 17G2 coal was 11 rat discovered in the valley of the Wabash. All this many years before coal was found in Pennsylvania. Hence coal was first discovered on this continent in Illinois and Indiana.

After elaborating on the multifarious qualities of coal at the present day and the many advantages of its discovery and general use, the speaker described the coal fields of our o\\0 great State as a part of the continuous and inexhaustible deposit of coal, which extend even to the great Father of Waters, embracing at least two-thirds of the vast State of Iilinois and much of Kentucky. And were it regarded as an ancient lake, it was large enough to engulf all England. He paid a deserved compliment to our own able and popular State Geologist, E. T. Cox, of Indianapolis.

The speaker then proceeded to describe the coal seams of Indiana, some six in number, aggregating about twenty-seven feet in thickness, and each seam having peculiarities of its own in quality. To the Brazil seam, however, the speaker attached the highest importance, because of its freedom from sulphurous qualities, and its approximation to charcoal in its results in the smelting of iron. These qualities insure for the block coal region of Indiana the revolutionizing of the iron interests of the entire nation.

The amount of iron consumed by a nation, he stated was almost an infallible index of its prosperity and relative civilization. The rapid and unparalleled development of the Northwestern States of the Union, was almost entirely due to its resources of this character. England, the speaker claimed, produced yearly not less than one hundred million tons ofirou, and that too, from ores which ontaiued very much phosphorous, which it is impossible to eliminate. Hence, while Eugland is a large exporter of iron, she also imports much of that article of a better quality that she has. The indifferent character of ordinary English pig iron retarded the manufacture of Bessemer steel for the reason that the phosphorous clung to it, while only apart of the sulphur was expelled, tteceatly it was found that the Cleveland district furnishes a material which facilitates the manufacture of steel by the Bessemer process. In consequence of this, all the products of the mines have b?en engaged up to 1873.

In his lengthy remarks the speaker stated that the specular iron ores of the Lake Superior distriot, and also of Missouri were adopted to the manufacture of the finest grades of fibrous iron, aud steel of the keenest cutting qualities, and also for Bessemer steel. He related au experiment on Lake Superior ore, under his supervision, more than twenty years ago, siuee which time it has grown into a source of very great trafic—one hundred million tons annually—greater than the entire product of the nation in 1S60.

The speaker then summed up the relative cost of sending these ores and those of Missouri to Pittsburg and other Eastern cities—adjacent to the coal fields for smelting purposes, showing that they couKl be shipped to the city of Terre Haute $1.50 cheaper than to Pittsburg, which taking a furnace of twenty-five tons of pig iron capacity daily, would amount to a large sum in oue year. As to the iron ore3 of Missouri in particular, they can be brought here for smelting purposes by rail at a reasonable consideration, but that they could not be eent to Pittsburg to the profit of anybody, but the railroad furnishing the transportation.

There is a demand, claimod the speaker, for every ton of pig irou, bar iron and all the Bessemer steel that can be produced in Indiana and throughout the Weep,

and the manufacturer need fear nought from Eastern competition. In conclusion, the speaker paid the following compliment to our city

At your feet flows the Wabash, which can be made to supply any amount of soft water for furnaces, machine shops and manufactories your city is pervaded by an air of thrift. I see no dilapidated buildings. I see no "To Let" staring me in the face. These are the best indications of a prosperous and energetic people. I believe Terre Haute will be the rallying point of all this beautiful country. _"\ou are about entering upon a career wiiicn wiil make this region the seat of manufacture and industry. This may be hastened or it may be retarded, but it cannot be

arrested.

HUM ASTON VS. MCGREGOR.

Case Dismissed by Plaintiff. The ease wa« called this morning, and a motion made by plaiutifl's attorney to exclude two jurymen from the panel, for expressing certain opinions regarding the case, which unfitted them to serve.

The motion was argued at 2 P. M. when the motion was overruled, and the case ordered to proceed. The plaintiffs attorney then asked to have the case dismissed at their costs.

The plaintiffs then said that they would bring a new suit, whereupon defendants stated that they would waive summons, aud were ready to answer noiv.

The Court stated that if the plaintiffs wished to bring a new suit, that they could do it in the usual way. This occurred just before the GAZETTE went to press and after the first report was in the form.

THE Indianapolis Journal of this morning says that "quite recently in the goodly city of Spencer, Owen county, a railroad meeting was held for the purpose of extending aid aud comfort to the Terre Haute & Cincinnati Air Line Railroad Company. The "vox populi" was uot as the voice of one man in support of the movement, and as slight expression of their disgust, the disaffected boxed up a skunk and sent it to the meeting, where it created quite a sensation and some smell. It is said that some of the railroad party camped out that night, their better halves expressing a decided aversion to the hair oil in vogue just then."

EVERY ONE speaks in the highest terms of the able, dignified and impartial manner that Judge Pettit discharges the duties of Judge. It is a long time since there has been such order in that court-room. A long time since lawyers, officers, witnesses and citizens had so much respect for the Judge presiding.

We hope the good example set by the venerable Judge iu the hearing and trying of the Humastouand McGregor case, will not be forgotten by those who are to sit on the bench in the trial of other cases.

juries and timid Judges make

great reputations sometimes for lawyers of small calibre. With a court, that is a court, and a jury of integrity, they make sad failures.

SOUTHVVESTERS RAILROAD.

Statement to tiie Public from tlie Stockholders. To the Voters of Harrison Township:

The Commissioners of Vigo county having ordered a special election to take place on the 22d day of January, 1872, in. which you will decide whether the property of Harrison township shall be taxed to the amount of $150,000 and the money used as a subscription to the Terre Haute & Southwestern Railroad, it is fit and proper that we should state to you explicitly the design and object of our corporation, the benefits that may accrue to the property-holders of Harrison township iu consequence of the building of the proposed road and give all oilier information of interest to you which we may possess.

It is the design of our corporation to construct a liue of railroad from Terre Haute, in the State of Indiana, to a point on the Mississippi river, in the State of Illinois, lying iu a southwesterly direction from this city.

We can not indicate more definitely the line of the proposed railroad than to say that it will cross the Wabash river at a point between Darwin aud York, and that it will pursue thence a southwesterly direction, by Olney or Flora, to the final terminus on the Mississippi river. The reasons why the line may not be more definitely indicated at this time are: (1.) The route has not yet been

surveyed.

(2.) The location must

depend greatly upon local subscriptions and donations. The construction of this line is demanded by the interests of this community. More than this, it is an actual necessity unless Terre Haute can afford to lose the business of the most valuable trading region now tributary to her, just as she has lost the trade of Greene and Owen counties in_consequence of the construction of the Indianapolis & Vincennes Railroad. The wholesale dealers of the city tell us that one-third of the jobbing trade of Terre Haute comes from the territory lying south of the Vandalia Railroad and west of the Wabash river, which territory is not now penetrated by any railroad line. The retail trade of that region is also immense. Notv this valuable traffic wiil be lost to Terre Haute entirely, within twelve months if the Terre Haute & Southwestern Railroad is not constructed. The Chicago, Danville & Vincennes Railroad, ofwhich Hiram Sandford, of Paris, is President, is already under contract, having been let to Thomas King, of Pekin, Illinois, and sub-let by him to Col. J. C. Prescott, of Indianapolis, with the agreement that the whole line from Danville, through Paris, Marshall, York, Robinson or Palestine, to Vincennes, shall be ready for iron within a year. At Palestine, Illinois, on the 16th inst., the St. Louis & Cincinnati Railroad Company was organized. This line is projected to furnish a Western connection for the Cincinnati & Terre Haute

Railroad, the main line of which corporation (the C. & T. II.) does not touch Terre Haute at all, but runs from Bloomington through Bloomfield and Sullivan, to Merom, in this State. The directors of the St. Louis & Cincinnati Railroad promise to put their road under contract immediately. Thus it will be seen that the Chicago, Danville & Vincennes

Railroad,Jwhich will certainly be

built, and the St. Louis & Cincinnati Railroad, which will probably be constructed, will take away from this city all the trade of the region beyond the Wabash river to the southwest, if the Terre Iiaute & Southwestern Railroad is not constructed at the earliest possible date.

In answer to objections which have gome to our notice to the proposed subscription of $150,000 by Harrison township, aud in reply to inquiries concerning the said subscription we will say

The first objection seems to be that this corporation does not propose to build the road beyond the Wabash river. In answer, we beg to give assurance over our own signatures that the subscription of stock which may be voted by the electors of Harrison township shall not be used, in whole or iu part, uuless we are able to guarantee the construction of a railroad across the Wabash river and to Robinson, Illinois, or to a point equidistant \ith Robinson from this city. And further we pledge ourselves, that the purpose of this corporation shall be completely abandoned and its charter surrendered without using one dollar of the money that may be voted by Harrison township, if we find ourselves unable, after a survey of the route aud a fuli canvass for subscriptions, to build the road to Robinson, or to a point equidistant with Robinson from this city as indicated above.

The second objection, which has been brought to our notice is that our corporation asks for a subscription of $150,000 while two other railroad organizations which have received subscriptions from the city of Terre Haute solicited &u£$100,000 each. We answer: (1.) The Evansville, Terre Haute & Chicago Railway received larger private subscriptions in this city than our enterprise. One citizen subscribed $50,000, and the aggregate of private subscriptions amounted to more than $100,000. Thus it will be seen that the E., T. H. & C. Railway received much more substantial aid in this city than is hoped for by our corporation. (2.) The Terre Haute & Cincinnati Railroad has no costly bridge to build within twenty-five miles which it has guaranteed to construct in consideration of the city's subscription of $100,000. Our own corporation, besides pledging itself to build thirty-six miles of road instead of twenty-five is compelled to build a bridge over the Wabash river which will cost, with its approaches, not less than $150,000. (3.) The sum of $150,000 assessed upon the township of Harrison will make the subscription of the city but little, if any, more than $100,000.

We pledge the community that the machine shops of our line shall be located in Terre Hauts. Of course, as citizens identified with the interests of this city, we would not entertain for a moment any proposition looking to the location of these works elsewhere.

The foregoing is respectfully submitted by the projectors of the Terre Haute & Southwestern Railroad organization, with the additional assurance that the necessity of immediate movement to protect important interests of this city prompts their action.

Mayor Hall has resigned his membership of the Union Club, iu consequence of bitter feeling existing against him among the members, by reason of his connection with the ring. To-morrow evening a meeting of the club was to have been held to consider his expulsion, but he anticipated their probable action by sending in his resignation.

The Tribune this morning, says it is certain that it is Tweed's design to remain concealed until he can take his seat iu the Senate. This purpose has been suspected for some time, but will not save him from arrest. It is known tLmt steps have already been taken which wiil defeat this scheme, and that he will be dislodged from his concealment and rearrested on a charge graver than any yet made against him.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—The following is an exact copy of the order signed by Farley, authorizing the arrest of Tweed I hereby depute, authorize and appoint Judson Jarvis to seize and surreuder the within named Wm.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—The Tribune says notwithstanding all assertions to the contrary, Tweed's resignation, not only as Grand Sachem of the Tammany Society, has been demanded, but even as a member of that Society, as Tweed had expressed his desire to comply with their request, it is believed that his resignation is now in the bauds of Mr. Nicholson, who refrains from making it public.

The Tribune continues: It is very well understood that Tweed cannot obtain bail. It was stated yesterday that owing to his complications it would be impossible for him to raise $25,000 in cash or obtain security in $100,000. There is probably nothing left but flight or imprisonment.
