   The Bibb iron works are about fifteen miles from Oxford, Ala. The works are to be extended, and a railroad is being built from Blue mountain to the works, ten miles. This road is in the hands of the Government, a company of stockholders and individuals. At present there are two reliefs at the works, and the furnaces are never allowed to get cold, day, night nor Sunday.
