A NATIONAL FOUNDRY.
RALEIGH, March 27, 1858.
To At* Excellency Governor Jhagg:
SIR :—Since your instructions, bearing
date Dec, 'ZG, 18o7, relative to the cotu-uiunicatioii
of facls, having relation to the
establishment of a National Foundry some-where
in the valley of Deep river, I have
from time to time pursued my enquiries,
and 1 now have the hou r of communica-ting
lo your Excellency the additional in-lormation
which 1 have acquired. This
additional information', however, does not
relate so much to the discovery of new lo-cations
of the metals ns ttie:r composition;
it amounts, therefore, simjvy to the deter-mination
of the rbeuiical constitution of the
ores already known to exist in this valley,
with one exception, that of the existence of a
fine bed of iron ore mar Ihickliorn Fulls,
and about six miles below LpcfcviUe. The
existence of ore at this place was known
at the time my report was made; but I
wished to ascertain one or two f.rts re-specting
it, before it was placed among ilie re-liable
resources ofthis valley. The Buck-horn
ore is a massive peroxide of iron.
Its composition is similar to the well known
specular ore. but it is of a dull red brown
colo~, anil '.vithout cry?talizalion : and is
extremely heavy. Its streak is bright red,
and it is rather tough, bul is not difficult to
break. It would strike one at once, on
making but a slight oxa.nutation of it, that
it is a very rich ore.
The vein is eight feet wide, and is con-tained
in the Taconic Slates; In which re-spect,
as well as in its composition, it
closely resembles the ores of Lake Super-ior.
On submitting this ore to analysis, T
found it composed of
Peroxide of iron, 93.20
Biles. d.T'J
99-888
It contains 61 per cent, of metallic iron.
The pOwder of this ore is of an olive green,
and its fragments are attracted by the mag-net.
Preparations are already being made to
work this ore, as from tie state of oxidation
it seems, too, well adapted to the Catalan
forge.
Th _■† iron balls so common m the coal
formation differ considerably from the fore-going
ores. Tiny contain
Silica. 40.00
Peroxide of iron, 82.40
Carbonate of lime, 4.72
Carbonic acid, 18.21
They contain some»\jo!atile matter, bit-umen
and water, which is lost during ebu-ullition
with hydrochloric, acid.
In addition to the foregoing ores my at-tention
has been directed to the limestones
which arc also iu COUIH ion of the carbon-iferous
slates. These limestones are un-doubtedly
hydraulic, but may be used in
smelting the iron ores of this, and other
formations. One of these beds oflimestone
infractioni of the Constitution, (as demon- ,
strand, not by Henry Clay and Daniel ;
Webster, but by J. C. Calhoun)—to the i
profligate increase of the public expeudi- !
ture, especially in the item of public print- .
ing, which is made to furnish a corruption j
fund, to influence elections—the squander-iug
the public lands to entich companies
and individuals, especially members ofCuii-1
gres*—and the venality and corruption of;
this Honorable Body, as declared by Dem-ocratic
members thereof.
These are a J\w of tSe crimes which
every Whig has, for the last twenty years,
down to the .'noment ot turning his Harle-quin
somerset, been charging upon the "re-spectable"
Democratic party. And has ibis |
party ever givenany evidence of repentance
and reformation? Why,sir, it has never
even had the grace to confess its sins, but
like a hardened transgeisor, has gone on to
add to their number and enormity. Thai
il has been and is yet going on "from bad
lo worse;" thus regulaily lullowing the
law of crime—is proveu by the startling fact
that, at ibis time there are in Congress
eight committees engaged in enquiring into
the 7iial practices, peculations and theft* of
ptiblic functionaries—every one of whom
it may be taken for granted is a Democrat,
for the party appoints none other to office ;
and for the .second reason, that if any of the
defaulters were llepubiicans, \\ bigs or
was cut in sinking the Egypt shaft. It is Know Nothings, they would be prosecuted
from o to 6 feet thick, and resembles, after \ autJ prosecuted to death—Tobias Watkin's

is in combination
i I have reckoued
laceooj ore of iron. Itfs gray on the re-cent
fracture, but becomes of a brownish
drab on exposure to the atmosphere. It is
slightly harder than the common limestone.
It is composed of
Silex
Carbon of iron,
Alumina,
Carbon cl lime.
Carbon of Magnesia,
Water,
Part of the iron only
with carbonic acid, thong
h as a carbonate.
Another bed of limestone occurs at Ivan-derMcIver.
It is blue and somewhat
seamy, but not crystalline. It is composed
of •
Carbonate of lime, 40 00
Carbonate of magnesia, 28.70
Silex, i 10.40
Water, * 2 40
Protoxide of iron, 5.60
Hitumen and loss, 0.00
The bitumen is lost during its ebullition
with hydrochloric acid, bnt not al a low
ignition.
1 deem it unnecessary to recapitulate
wlmtlhadoccasionto say iu my Special lately been denouncing certain members of
position of the "trie Northern National Democracy, North-into
the sales and purchase of public proper-ty,
and the contracts ior public supplies,
they might double ihc uumber of their com-mittees
of investigation, and if these com-mittees
woald ascertain and truly report the
facts, they would disclose a mass of corrup-tion
unequaled in any government, selling
up any pretension to honesty.
What a lamentable aud alarming state of
things do these facts present. Who can
look at them without the mosl gloomy mis-givings
as to the stability of our institu-tions
.' If ourCJoverntiicn! is thus disso-lute
and corrupt ii. its infancy, what will it
be in its old age?—or, rather, what chance
is there of its attaining even the middle age
of a nation '( The most casual observer of
passing events cannot fail to see that the
fountain liom which, them hitter waters flow
that the poisoning the body politic, is the
substitution of Party fur ewr Country.
Every Democratic paper, from the Rich-mond
Enquirer down to the luopeuny sheet
at Charlottesviiie. acts on the doctrine (and
most of them openly avow it) lhat the
interests of Party are par amount to those
of Country, and to the princcples of the
Constitution. This iusi named journal bus
of
Report relative to the comp
black band ore; and, in conclusion, I have
only to remark, that it is probable that the
ern men with .Southern principle;" (and
one Southern man with strong Xoit/urn
ores connected with the coal Series are co- I proclivities; and among other gentle names
extensive with that formation; hut in this called then, "political mimtantt, and
appendix to that report have thought nee- "*** luavff- . And what were the '-high
99.99
According to the tables it contains 66.-
l."(i of metallic iron.
This vein of remarkable ore. being Situa-ted
ne.tr the Falls of Buckhorn on the Cane
Fear, must become an important addition
to the resources of this valley. Il contains
neither alumina, manganese or lime; and I
have not been able to detect sulpburct of
iron; and I believe it is free from any in-jurious
loreign substance. Il may he irans-ported
for manufacture to any point, either
upon the C<ape Fear or upon Deep river,
ami I cannot discover anything in relation
to it, which can diminish its value for any
kind of iron.
The next deposit of ore to which I wish
to call your Excellency's attention, is up-on
the plantation which has been owned
by Jonathan Wicker. It will be near the
western line of Railroad leading from Fay-eiteville
to the Coalfields, or about 6 or 8

1 am, Sir, most truly.
Your obedient servant,
E. EMMONS,
Geol. to the State of North Carolina
From the Richmond Whig.
Mr. Editor:—1 see by your paper of
the 23rd ult., (which in consequence of my
absence from home has just reached inej
that your neighbor ol • The South" has
been'making a violent onslaught upon the
Whigs and Know Nothings, whom he is
pleased to characterize as " a grotesque
parody Upon party." If this sarcasm has
reference to the present paucity of num-bers
in these two parties, il can ha-dly be
denied that it speaks the truth ; but, at the
same 'ime. it discloses another fact, o.nen-ous
of the speedy downfall of a popular form
of government, which we have been vaiu-glimously
holding upas a perfect model to
the world. It shows that if the mass of
the people be honest and patriotic, their
leaders ire venal and corrupt—lor what
has become of the Whig party, which but
crimes and misdemeanors" that called
down this dreadful analhaina on the heads
of those unfortunates? Surely nothing less
than two or three gross infractions of the
Constitution, or the violation ol sundry car-dinal
principles of Republican Govcniinciu!
Nothing like it. The unpardonable sin
#as that these "miscreants' and "knaves"
had "nnblusbingly and destardly deserted
the much beloved and ever-lo-be-adored
President in the hour ol his extremity,
when be most needed their sympathy and
support!"
I think, Mr. Editor, that for such a M0-
riligioos offence as this, excommunication
is an inadquHte punishment : and 1 am sat-isfied
that if one and all of these recreants
were burning at the .-take, neither you nor
I would "drop a tear" to extinguish the
flame.
Prejudice and passion arc unsafe guides,
and seldom fail lo mislead their followers.
As allies, lhey are also ui.truslwoity ; for
they as often recoil upon their friends as
they assail their enemies. The article of
your neighbor, to which I have alluded,
furnisoes a striking proof of the truth of
this remark. If, in describing the two

of tbebrowh ore, usually regarded as an
argillaceous oxide of iron, at Ivander Me-
Ivors, four miles from Egypt. This has a
dark brown color in the mass, bul iu pow-der
is ochre yellow or yellowish brown. It
is vejy compact and heavy, and from its
darker color in the mass might be suspec-ted
of containg maganesc. This ore was
worked in the Revolution, and it is said
with good results. It is composed of
Peroxide of iron, 97.00
Silex, 2.00
Carbon, 1-00
100.00
It contains metallic iron 60.24. There
is sufficient carbon to give the ore a dark
tinge resembling that of manganese. It is
nearly ail dissolved readily in Hydrochloric
acid.
I now propose to pass to the brown mag-netic
ore or Magnetolite. It is found upon
the plantation formerly owned by Mrs. Ty-ler.
The peculiarity of this ore is, that it
H magnetic, and has undoubtedly been
changed by heal from the peroxide to the
protoxide." It is probably an altered black-band
ore, as it still retains a portion of its

psss by their fifth candidate without
reminding your neighbor of what I am
sore he has lorgotton—that Jobn C. CJ-houn,
a uood democrat, convicted him of
three violations of the constitution in four
years. An ocrasional hint of this sort is
necessary—for while "the Resolutions of
'98-'90,"and"the"Alienand Sedition laws"
are engraven on tablets of steel in the mem-ory
of every Democrat, he is strangely
proue to forget the slight lapse of his own
party.
Bul let us coniiuue the parallel—''The
The South Americans" are opposed to the
importation of convicts and paupers, believ-ing
that we have, without importation,
quilo a sufficient mass of ignorance and
gullibility to exercise the skill of the dem-agogue.
"The North Americans," inclu-ding
of course the Southern branch of the
party, hold out pollitics to the foreign emi-grant,
because they know they would give
democratic votes in the beginning, although,
when the twj of war comes—as SOJII it uill
—every man ofthem will be a soldier in
ihe Abolition ranks. We have already
proofs of the truth of this prediction.—
Where is the greatest mass of foreign pop-ulation
? In the West. Where is Aboli-tionism
the strongest ? Iu the West. A

"The South Americans" have ever been
opposed to bartering the public domain in
exchangefbr partitan power—an arrange-ment
by which the North and the West
arc ihe gainers, and the South the loser.-—
Had Henry Clay declared against a fair
and hones: distribution of the public land .

and the Acts of Cession, he would
have been Prcsideut twenty-five years ago,
and it h) the highert compliment that can
be paid to his character to say—n KNLW
it. The "North Americans," on the other
band, have been enriching the Norih and
the West at the expense of the South, and
that for the unworthy object of buying par-ty
power!
Butcueugh has been said to show that
a name designed to be offensive and oppro-bious
is really so complimentary lhat I can
not find it in my heart to complain of
ycur worthy cotemporary for his left-handed
abuse of two parlies, to each of which I
glory in the honor of belonging. In this
case, "we must late" ["O'j "ihc will for
the deed," but the deed for the will.
In looking over the article of your cotem-porary
1 confess t0 some difficul.ry i'i de-ciding
which branch of the Whig and
Know Nothing parties he intends to assail
—that is, lhat portion which continues
faithful toils principles, or lhat which has
proved recreant, aud has deserted its col-ors.
.Much of his vituperation seems ap-plicable
alone to the latter. For instances,
v. hen he speaks of' a baker's dozen of needy
adventures," mrtly he must mean those
who l)alg«tiy-like, have "enlisted for the
bounty and proveot ;" for I take it for
grained lhat no "needy adventurer," whose
political aspirations rose as high as a eon-stnbh's
place, who I,as applied, has been
refused admittance into the democratic
rinks. This traffic has been too long and
successfully carried on to be suddenly relin-ouislicd,
especially at a time when the De-mocracy
is, as at present, in a tight place.
"Again, where speaking of ihe "Sonth
American," he says "they were only too
proud to bear the" train of the triumphant
Democracy. They knew no higher honor
than lo be allowed association wilh W re-spectable
a party"—be eeriainly is not
alluding to the "stiff necked generation"
that has kept the faith, and "refused to
bend the pliant, hinges of the knee, that
thrift might come by fawning." Why this
is the very portion of the "South Anieri-an"
parly that the Editor is abusing be-cause
he cannot ioice them to "bear the
train of the Democracy." and to come
to the relief of a sinking parly. Their
new rccuits no doudt are ready—for a con-sideration"
to fawn and flatter, snd to do
any dirty work that may assigned to them
'Tis their vocation But."
There is one declartion of your ncifchbor
that certainly does not apply to the ifflf-znde
portion of thf* Whig parly. If one
o: them was told that, "at first (he) did
MM appreciate the advantages of hi. posi-tion,
-he would deny the allegation es in-d
gnantly as Dame Quickly replied to Sir
John Falstafl, when he said, "no man
knows where to have you"—"go to, go to.
Sir John, any man knows where to have
me." 1 f your neighbor |*rsist. in believ-ing
that the turncoats who'have slipped over
from our ranks to bis were ever at a loss

him take a peep into ihe two branches of
Congress, and there he w.ll see ten or
eleven imUoidutde, hailing from Virginia,
who if asked how they got there, will an-swer
and say, they loathed a minority, a.
"n nure abhors a vacuum,'' and were
shrewd enough lo "flee fromMhe wrath to

Slate, and he will find that tlo '-wai'ers
on Providence" with whom his party has
been trading for twenty year., had their
eves wide open, and knew so well how to
avail themselves of the advantages of their
po-itioe, that the eleventh hour men have
snatched nearly all the wage, from "these
