Bessemer Steel.

Bessemer steel is destined to supersede iron for many purposes to which cast or blister steel has been applicable, not only on account of it? cost, but on account of its brittleness, especially when affected by severe cold. For railway rails it is incontestably superior to any form of irou yet devised. It has toughness to resist fracture, and hardness enough.to resist wear. Its homogeneity secures it against the tendency to scale or peel off in strips, which is ruinously manifest in iron rails. These usually enclose a hard "slajrgy" core with soft, filrou3 irou that yields and expands under the hammering of the cars till it becomes loose like pawpaw bark when pounded for a boy's whistle, and once it begins "stripping" the rail becomes useless. There i1* no peeling in steel rails. For many other -items of heavy work the BessemCr is equally valuable. Now our block coal and our Western ore contain precisely the elements, and offer the exact conditions, for the production of the best of Bessemer work. Both are free from phosphorus, which is the fatal ingredient of English ore. A proportion not exceeding one or two per cent, ot it totally unfits the ore for steel, aud it is overcome only by the addition of a costly ore brought from Germany, called "Spiegelism," which is free from phosphorus, and in combination enables English ore to be worked successfully, though expensively. We are under no necessity of dependence on such outside help, and capital invested here in the manufacture of Bessemer steel is sure of a rapid, remunerative return.—Ind. Eve. News.

MR. THOMAS NAST should find better occupation for his facile pencil than caricaturing Horace Greeley. He has, this week, a cut representing Greeley bailing Jeff. Davis, and another showing him throwing "Tammany mud" at Grant. Mr. Greeley bailed Jeff. Davis, not to get iiitn out of a scrape, but to relieve the United States from a false position. In the first place, it was a mistake to capture Jeff. He should have been permitted to run away. In the second place, when he was captured, he should have been tried by a military court organized to convict, and shot or turned loose within a resonable time. He lingered" iu prison, and Greeley thought it well to make sn end of the muddle. It may have been a mistake of his to suppose that he should interfere, but that which he did was substantially right. As to the pictorial insinuation that Greeley is throwing "Tammany mud" at Graut— ills untruthful. Mr. Tom Murphy was ft partner of-Boss Tweed, aud was dirty all over with Tanimanyism. Judging by the letter of the President to Murphy, he rather liked the flavor of that kind of dirt. Perhaps those who are in agony because Mr. Greeley is telliuga very small part of that which he knows about the Administration, woul 1 do well to remember fhat when he throws dirt it sticks. The mistake Mr. Greeley is making now is iu not using all the weapons in his hands.—Gin. Com.

THE latest in the regularly developed order of fraudulent transactions which has come to light, appears in a suit now pending in the United States Court of Claims in which Charles Wells is plaintiff, and General Alvin P. Hovey, late United States Minister to Peru, aud Henry M. Brent, Secretary of Legatiou aud Charge d'Aftuirs of the United States at Lima, figure as the principals in apiece of very itisgraceful diplomatic small-work, if the facts are as alleged. The plaintiff, according to his showing, was, iu 1S6S, United States Consul at some small Peruvian port, and while so actiug was maltreated by the Peruvian officials. For the outrages perpetrated upon him he made pecuniary reclamation from the Peruvian Government to the amount of $50,000. He charges that Hovey and Brent engineered the claim from him, and that, when they had got through engineering it and lubricating Peruvian machinery, his share of the $50,000 was just one-flfth and that of the

Additional Local News.

THE terpsichoreaus are in a flutter over the approaching masquerade ball. They declare that it will be a masked battery of beauty and brilliancy, aud that all the costumes and appointments will be nobby and gorgeous.

FROM a gentleman just arrived from New York, we learn of the safe arrival in that city of three of our merchants, Messrs. Jeflf'ens, Crawford and O'Boyle. The two latter left that city for Boston on Tuesday evening.

TIIE "Duke Alexis" No. 2, was at the Printers' Ball last evening. Col. Cookerly was near an hour trying to ascertain how the youth ever got those feet through his pants legs. He finally concluded that they were laced under the sideseam.

THIS bright aud pleasant faces of scores of cheery, ro«y-c!ieeked school girls daily adorn our streets as' they trip merrily along in short dresses and tantalizing little boots. They are like oases in the desert, charmingly beautifying the dull and monotonous mass of business folks is*ing up and down. At least that is what the boys" thiuk.

AMONG the many strange inconsistancies of mankind is the fact, that, though men are very careful that their children are well clothed and fed, attending to these matters personally and persistently, yet when it comes to the intellect of the same children, there is an apathy which at least, is very surprising, and cannot be accounted for.

balance Hovey j?ot $5,000 Brent, $5,000 Farrand, the United States Consul at Lima, $5,000 and two Peruvian officials $5,000 each. As they were not injured at all, he naturally feels aggrieved at such au equal distribution of the amount he had calculated would heal his wounds, and sues to recover.

From the Cape Girardeau Argus.

The Terre Haute & Southwestern Railroad. We have noticed some articles recently published in the Terre Haute Express, in regard to the Terre Haute & Southwestern Railroad, a railroad proposed to be built from Terre Haute southwesterly to Cairo or to Cape Girardeau and feeling an interest in the

succebs

of this, as

well as all other similar enterprises, the obiect of which is to develop and improve the country where they are located we leel a desire to correct some erroneous statements in regard to the feasibility and utility of said enterprise.

If (as asserted) "the intelligent taxpayers" of Terre Haute are somewhat acquainted with the geography and natural resources ot the section of country through which this route is projected, they must differ considerably in their intelligent conclusions, from the correspondent of the Express, who pronounces it "the wildest of new railroad projects,"

wild goose chase," &c. We had flattered ourselves that we knew something of the geography and resources of the country lying between Terre Haute and Cape Girardeau, and our impressions have been and still are, that a road built on a direct route, (as is proposed for this,) would pass through a country of prairie, timber and bottom lands, alternating, as rich naturally in its agricultural resources as any part of "the garden spot of the west," (Illinois) aud with a good railroad running through it, would develop and improve as rapidly as has the country along the other main lines of railroad injlllinois. A country rich also in mineral resources more than three-fourths of the distance being through the richest portion of the inexhaustible coal fields of southern Illinois, which will furnish business not only for one but for many roads, for many generations to come.

It is a well demonstrated fact that any naturally good country is benefitted by the construction and operation of a railroad, or other good means of transportation through it, to several times the ordinary cost of an Illinois railroad, and though new and unimproved, when the road is projected, rapidly develops, and soon returns to the road, (as if iu gratitude) a large remunerative business, and there is certainly no good apparent reason why this country should prove an exception in this respect.

There have been but few roads built in the Western States that have not had the same arguments—"iVo business," "won't pay"—urged agaiust their construction, and although the talsity of the arguments have been demonstrated by almost every road built, yet they are again and agaiu put forward upon the projection of any new enterprise. But this route need by no meaus be dependent on its local business to insure its financial success. Properly constructed and connected, it becomes a part of a great trunk route from the great lake to the gulf of Mexico and Pacific ocean, from the great Northeast to the greater Southwest.

If built to Cape Girardeau, aud connected therewith the Cape Girardeau & State Line Railroad, now being buiit in a southwestern direction, 'through the counties of Cape Girardeau, Bollinger, Stoddard and Butler, across the flat but agricultural lands of Southeast Missouri, through dense forests of valuable timber, and along the foot of hills containing millions upon millions of tons of brown hemitite iron ore, to the Arkansas State line, where it is to connect with roads ruuning southwesterly through Arkansas and Texas, the great cottou and cattle producing region of the United States —who can have so little knowledge in this age of railroads, as to come out boldly before an intelligent community aud assert, that any part of, or link in, a line of oad through such a country, running

just

in the direction that its im­

mense productions want to travel to find their principal market, will not, indue time find a largely remunerative business iu both freight and passengers?

Now let us accept the invitation of the correspondent of the Express, aud "take a glanee at this contemplated Southwestern road," as a route over which to obtain for Terre Haute "the iron ores of Missouri," aud try to get at correct figures, instead of the erroneous ones he presents.

From Terre Haute to East St. Louis via Vandalia road, is 165 miles. East St. Louis (via. St. Louis & Iron Mountain Railroad) to Iron Mountain 82, to Pilot Knob 88, to Cornwall (the first de~ posits of brown Hemetite,) 115 miles making from Terre Haute 247, 253 and 280 miles, respectively, instead of 225 and 250, as stated. A well located line from Terre Haute to Cape Girardeau, would be about 190 miles in length. From Cape Girardeau to the iron deposits in Stoddard and Butler eouuties,.32 to 60 miles, making from Terre Haute 222 to 250 milts, to iron deposits fully as desirable, if not more desirable, than those of Iron Mountain and Pilot Knob, and that too, over roads with much lighter grades and easier curves than by the St. Louis route.

Prof. Forest Sheppard, in a recent report on the country adjacent to the line of the Cape Girardeau & State Line Railroad, says of these iron doposits

About thirty-two miles from Cape Girardeau, we arrive at hills of brown Hemetite, or hydrated per oxide of iron, (Simonite,) free fr}m sulphur, and in great abundance. Thousands upon thousands—if not millions upon millions—of tons of this ore, ready for the furnace, may be excavated before reaching Indian Ford, on the St. Francois river, and there the great iron fields of Missouri open wide with stores sufficient to supply the wants of coaling millions." "It is an ore of high rank. It smelts easily, aud yields a soft, uniform and very tough iron. Btit while it yields fifteen per cent, less than the Irou Mountain ore, the ease with which it is obtained abundantly compensates for the difference."

Perhaps the correspondent of the Express is right in the principle, if not in details. If Terre Haute does not waut any trade or produce from the great Southwest to come to her if she does not want any manufactories to spring up iu her neighborhood—in short, if she does not want prosperity and greatness to be thrust upon her, she should certainly defeat the building of this proposed Southwestern Railroad. But if she does defeat it, let us prophecy, that within a very few years, she will be seen lamenting her error aud mourning over this golden opportunity lost.

ON the day after the firing upon Fort Sumpter I met Stephen A, Douglas upon Pennsylvania Avenue, iu the city of Washington. Naturally anxious to ascertain what part he would take in the coming event-0,1putthequestion to him: "What is now to be done? My dear friend, what are we to do?" I shall never forget his answer: We must fight for our country and forget all differences. There can be but two parties—the party of patriots'and the party of traitors. We belong to the first.—Col. Forney.

MURDER IN A COURT ROOM.

Op-

A Lawyer Shot Dead in Conrt by the posing Counsel. An unpleasant feeling has existed between General R. Davis and S. M. Meek, both lawyers of Mississippi, for some time back. In last July or August, these gentlemen appeared in Aberdeen, Miss., on opposite sides in a killing case which was in the course of examination before the Circuit Court of that place. The person under trial was C. Taylor Hill, who was charged with the murder. Davis was defending tl.e prisoner, and MeeK was prosecuting. It is generally represented that Davis had what is forcibly called "a violent way" about him, whereas Meek was, upon ordinary occasions, among the mildest of men, a modest, unobtrusive gentleman. He was insulted by Davis at that time, and felt much aggrieved. After that they never spoke to each other.

On Friday last, says the Memphis Appeal, of the 7th, they again met on the opposite sides of a case in the Court House, at Columbus, Mississippi, when Davis, as usual, indulged iu violent and offensive language, and so irritated Meek that he could bear it no longer. He said: Davis, I can't stand your brow-beating auy longer. Defend yourself." Meek jerked out his pistol aud Davis proceeded to draw his weapon, but was too slow, and was shot before he had his weapon ready for use. This was in the Court-house, in the presence of the Judge and a full court. General Davis was a Colonel'of the 2d Mississippi regiment during the Mexican war. He was before the war a member of the United States Congress from the Aberdeen district, Mississippi. He served two years. After that he returned home and followed the profession of criminal lawyer, in which he achieved long ago a fine reputation. Davis was about fifty-eight or sixty years of age. S. M. Meek is now, perhaps, forty years old, and stands at the head of his profession.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.

Dr. Greeley's Intimacy with the Worid Editor. A warm friendship, says a New York letter, exists between two of the leading editors of this city, belonging to rival sheets and utterly opposed in politics. I refer to Horace Greeley of the Tribune and Ivory Chamberlain of the World. Though indulging in the most violent political warfare, hurling scathing phillipics against each other in public they are iu their social intercourse, and have been for years, on terms of the closest intimacy. Every Sunday, nearly you will find the veteran editor of the Tribune enjoying the hospitality of his contemporary of the World, at his de lightful home on Forty-second street and Miss Chamberlain and the Misses Greeley, Ida and Gabrielle, are insepara ble companions, and many are the sum mer days they roam together through the woods on the celebrated farm at Chappaqua.

A word or two about the managing edi tor of the World. Most persons suppose the brilliant articles in that paper are from the pen of Manton Marble, whose contributions are in fact like angels vis its, few and far between. Mr. Chamberlain, their real author, is, like his friend Greeley, a self-made man. He was for a long time teacher in the public schools of Buffalo, and finally became their Principal. But having a natural gift for newspaper writing, his talents did not long remain hid in a napkin. He was made associate editor of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser a position which he had until 1862, when he became managing editor of the New York World. Mr. Chamberlain is a man of about 51 or 52 years of age, and is a hard student. He rises at 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning, takes alight breakfast, and then locks himself in his study until dinner time at 6 o'clock. After dinner he goes down to the World office, and stays there until 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning. Of course he is the Great Mogul at the office, anc. no one dares come to his room unless on the most urgent business and even then it requires great courage to knock at the sacred portal.

Nym Crinkle in the New York World.

Booth Behind the Scenes. On the first night of this season's Hamlet" there was a hot dispute in the waiting room among the flaneurs and critics on this very sword question. It was maintained by the romantic school of admirers that Booth had copied the business from Fechter, while the realistic school as firmly insisted that he had always held up the cross as he followed his spirit out others asserting that it was formerly his habit to trail it after him.

It suddenly struck me that I would go and ask Booth himseTf about it. I found him after the third act in his elegant dressing room. He was sitting in an easy chair in his elegant Danish robes, smoking a meerschaum pipe, and his little wife was bustling about over a steam iug tea kettle aud gas stove, preparing him a cup of tea. Anything more utterly opposed to the prevailing notion of "behind the scenes" than this cosy and homelike apartment could not be imagined.

He told me that his manner of holding the sword was the result of one of those accidental suggestions common enough ou the stage. He was instructing a subordinate onee.vening, just previous to the act, how to use his weapon, and in pulling it from the sheath for this purpose it slipped from his hand, and he caught it in the air with the hilt uppermost. While he held it in this manner, the cross before his eyes, it occurred to him for the first time that this was the proper thing to do when following the ghost,.

While we were conversing, the little wife bustled about, aud the kettle poured its odorous steam in the room. I wanted to ask her if she would not play "Dot" some time aud delight the world, but I dared not.

Presently, when he was called for the act, he asked me to excuse him for a moment, and went out as if he were going to see how the wind set, or if the evening papers were on the front stoop. I saw him five miuutes afterward holding the two thousand spell-bound.

IN

the early "jayhawking" days, Gen. Sherman made a slender livelihood in Calhouu eounty, Kansas, and once, when he" had prepared himself most elaborately, it is related that a "loug, lank, lean genius," leaving his ox team, came before the court as his competitor. The General summoned up graudly, quoting freely from an immense pile of books placed carefully before him, and citing the English common law to'prove bis point. The "bullwhacker" followed him, and ridiculed his precedents and scouted at his books. He said it was an insult to tbe court to read from "the common law of England," and declared that "if we were compelled to take any of that aristocratic British law," he wanted the "very best her Majesty had, and none of her common law." That was enough the Justice's face was set, and the General lost bis case. It was the last he ever tried in Kansas.

A TOPER once sneered at a young man for wearing spectacles when the latter retorted It is better to wear glasses over the nose as I do tban hold them under the nose as you do!

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—The New York Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic met yesterday morning for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year, and transacting other important business. During the session in the afternoon Gen. Sickles entered the Encampment and was received by the Committee on Address. He made a short address to the members present, expressing thanks .for the hearty welcome accorded him, and congratulating them on their association with an organization which is an example to world, and whioh nations might be proud to follow. He referred in a few words to the state of affairs which had existed in this city for three years past, and which had been removed by the noble departure in November last.

Tbe following officers were then elected unanimously General Henry A. Barman, Commander General General J. A. Reynolds, Senior Vice Commander, and General William Ballard, Junior Vice Commander. The meeting then adjourned until this morning.

A special from Washington to the New York Tribune says: It is confidently asserted that the Navy Department will shortly ask Congress for an appropriation to build ten new steam sloops of war, carrying thirteen guns each and seven propellers. The last experiment made by the Government in the direction of building ships of war was an expensive one, and Congress will probably desire a report on the present condition of our iron-clad fleet, how much it will cost and how much it is worth, before it appropriates many more millions for new experiments. The British ship builders have already a large lobby here charged to prevent any cost or any legislation that will make it possible-for iron ships to be profitably built in this country.

NEW YORK, January 18.—Large crowds assembled at the Court of Oyer and Terminer this morning, it being the day fixed for the arrangement of Stokes, the murderer of Fisk. The Court door had to be barricaded against the crowd Stokes was driven from the Tombs in an elegant tandem by the Sheriff, and kept in the Sheriff's office.

About 11 o'clock iu the morning he was brought into the Court, fashionably dressed, nervous, pale, and hair becoming gray. The District Attorney moved for his arraignment when asked guilty or not guilty. The prisoner bowed his head, and resumed his seat. His Counsel stated they were not ready to plead to the indictment, aud demanded a reasonble time for examination before putting in a plea.

The Judge postponed the case until Wednesday. The prisoner was remanded to the Tombs without bail. John Graham, John McKeon, E. T. Gerry, William O. Barritt and William Bartlett are Stokes' counsel.

BROOKLYN, Jan. 18.—A fire broke out last night in Linhardt's Morrocco manufactory on Canton street. It was destroyed before the flames were extinguished.

The fire originated from the furnace.

CHICAGO, January 18.—The Common Council late last night, fiually fixed on boundaries for fire limits, and modified the sweeping ordinance first proposed so as to onfSt the extreme portions of the southwest and north divisions.

Harding^ of some place out West, has asserted seriously in a recently published letter that 'no American man, unless he is a fool, ever names his child Maude.' Assuming this to be true, we are forced to conclude that the Rev. Mr. Harding has a daughter named Maude." The Rev. Mr. Harding alluded to is the same gentle and. inoffensive white-choker who suggested to the operatfc choirs of the Louisville churches that, for 1 he sake of variety, they ought occasionally to play that highly moral tune known in the West as "Hell on the Wabash."

MASSACHUSETTS has sixteen cities. The aggregate population of fifteen of them, including all except Salem, is $40,000, and their aggregate debt amounts to $44,336,324, which is considerably greater than that of the State itself. A large part of the debt contracted by these municipal corporations has been incurred in tbe construction of works of public mprovement, some of which, water works for instance, yield a revenue more than sufficient to pay interest on the loans. About two-fifths of the entire population of the State are comprised in these fifteen cities.

HAIR VIGOR. IYER'S

A I I O

For the Renovation of the Hair I The Great Desideratum of tbe Age! A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss and, freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands ftrophied or decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling oft and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a

HAIR DRESSING,

nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
