Iron Contract.

--The difficulty of procuring iron in the Southern Confederacy to be used in casting shells and round shot gave the officers in the Ordnance Department a vast deal of trouble till General Beauregard came to their relief. He has contracted with Gillmore and Dahlgren, of the Federal army, for several tons of metal per day, and those contractors are delivering it at Fort Sumter, free of charge, and without the slightest injury to the old fort or its denizens.
