| Mr. B. B. Babington, the agent of the iron
works at Ore Hill, Chatham, has sent us a "No. 4 Spider,"
which is equal in appearance to any thing of the kind heretofore cast
at the North. These works are situated about eighteen miles from
Pittsborough, near a hill of the richest iron ore, called Ore Hill. We
learn that Mr. Babington is turning out ovens, spiders, pots, and
indeed nearly all kinds of castings. Our merchants would do well to
make out their orders at once for these indispensable articles. |
| We realize more and more every day, the
importance of a Railroad connection between our Railroads now in
existence and the coal and iron region of Chatham {ie
the Chatham RR}. When the war closes, this region, with all its
interests, will begin a career of prosperity equaled only in former
days by the prosperity of the coal and iron region of Pennsylvania.
Let those who own property in that locality, hold on to it, if not
obliged to sell; and let those buy who can. We think we cannot be
mistaken in this opinion. |
