J Champion Press Company: Gentlemen : 1 have, at your request, calculated the power of your Press, and examined its mode Of action. Enolosed plrarn find drawing showing seroo different positions of the pross-loilower, and also a table giviua tbe force exerted by the machine at esoh ot these portions of its stroke. I have con sidered the force of o e-home power applied at the crown wbeol to be the motive power: and although the mechanical advantages obtained from the pinion and pulley in the machine I have examined will in crease Its power, 1 think that tbe machine propor begin at its crown wheel. In order to find the power of Press when driven by a steam engine, yon have only to multiply the figures in the table bv the power of the engine. I cannot but add that your Press is an ingenious device, combining an aston ishing power with beautiful siumiioity eiroum stanoes which do away with all liabilities of wear and repair. When the lower liuk aporoaohos its lowest point, the mechanical advantage increases. At six inches from the etid of the stroke ths pres sure from one horse power is 10 tons, and finally, when both links come into the same place, it be comes Infinite. There is no limit to the press ire ex erted, except that fixed by the resistance of the machine. . Yours, etc , E. A. FUERTEtt, C.

Forty Persons InJ ured Generals Beau regard and Forrest on the Train. The Memphis ( Tenn.) Avalanche ot the lDth says: "Considerable excitement existed upon our streets yesterday at'ternoon. occasioned by a despatch received from Burnsville stating that a lcarlul accident had occurred near that place to the train coming west on the Mempois and Charleston Railroad. As many of our promi nent and well-known citizens, totretuer wl h their families, who had been visiting the tourna ment at Inscumbia, also were expected home on this train, their many friend in thia city were Biill'eriug the utmost auxlety of mind until the following duspaich was received from General N. B. Forrest, who was on the train: 'Colonel J. A. Forrest: My wife and friends safp. Two passenger cars and oue baggage car completely destroyed. Forty perions injured ; only two cangerouely. K. B. Forrest.' "From Mr. M. J. Tighe, conductor on the train when tbe accident occurred, we learn the following: While running on time, some five miles east of Burnsville, at about 0 o'clock in the morning, and travelling about twenty miles an hour, the rear trucks ot the express car broke while crossing a trestle-work. The broken trucks caught in the bridge and carried away all the trucks from under three of the cars in rear ot the expiess car. The hrst cut was that contain ing baggage, which was precipitated into the abvss below, a distance of about twenty-live feet. This car wu9 Diuiy uamacea, turneu over, me bottom torn out, and the buggnge scattered all around. The next was an elegant ladies' car, containing about fifty passengers. This car was also earned into the creek and turned over. Nearly all the passengers in it were more or less hurt, but none seriously, except a Mrs. Moorfleld, who lives near Union Depot. This lady was Jett in a house near the wreck, and a pecial car was sent back for her from Burns ville. General Forrest and family were In the car, but escaped all injury. "The next car was a smoking car, which went over the embankment on the opp site slJe ot the track from the ladies' car. This car went down end foremost, but no one was hurt in it. Tbe next two cars were sleeping cars. They were left upon tbe track and uninjured, except the placforms, which were smashed to atotm. Tbe baggage master, Tim Kniuht, was Injured by the splinters and baggage lalltug on him, but not very seriously. The brakesman, Martin McMelon, was seriously hurt, one leg being crushed and his head bruised. Thomas Rodgcrs, an employe of the road, was also seri3usly hurt. Tbe wreck presented a fearful sight, and the cars were badly smashed and broken. Generals Forrest and Beauregard, who were on the train, were very prominent In getting the wounded iroin tbe trains, and worked with great energy Captain Harvey Mathes, of the Argva. was on the train, and was bruised slightly. It was a miraculous escape for manv on board, ami vnn. derful that many were not killed. Wc could notH learn toe names or any oiuers wno were seri ously lnlured. A cold watcb. valued at tun hundred dollars, and several other articles af leweiry oeionging to Mrs. r'orrest, wnien were In her trunk, were lost," and her baggage scat tered in all directions.

The Crown prosecutor, in reply, said that although tais application bad been made ratner late, as ample time had been given to secure tbe attend ance ot those witnotses, he was willinr, on the part ol the Crown, to receive any properly authenticated certificates ol that nature under seal. ' The Crown would throw no technical opposition in tbe way which might prevent tbe prisoners re ceiving the benefit of a fair and impar.ial tnat, and he was willing, on the pait of the Crown, to make any reasonable concessit n that might be demanded on beball of the prisoner. Mr. Caim ron, on bobalf ot tbe prisoner, stated that tho attendance of tne two gentlemen to whom be had referred would have been secured, only that it was not in their power to compel their attendance. He stated that be believed the American Consul would be able to secure their attendance After some discussi in the trial was postponed till Saturday, November 8 John MuMahon, a Roman Catholio pr est, wss then brought in and took his place in tho dock. He is a man ol shoot forty years of ago, live icet six inches in hotetit, and ramer stout! tullt. Hi was woll dressed in a clerical su't ot b ack. and woro a wtiite slock, similar to that which is used by tho lioman Caihoiie priesthood.- A jury having boon sworn, Mr. H. A llarnson, on behait ot the Crown, addressed them in substance as follows: Gentlemen of tho Juty: l'he prisoner at the bar is indicted by a court of competent Jurisdiction with having, with divers other ill-disposed persons, iu the month ot June las:, invaded these provinces a ith intent to lot y war against her Maiosty. Tae indict ment under whicn he is arraigned contains three counts. Tbe first count charges him with being an American citizen, and having, as suoh, with divers other persons, invaded th s provinca, wi'h ntent to levy war. the econd count charge him with, after having entered these prov nces, continuing with these persons; and tne third count charsos the pri ouei as, being with those persons, having levied war in thia country. The statu e undor whicn he is tried was enaoted by tho Legislature in 1840 Uuder that statute any person, not being hor MaJ .-Sty's subject, caurlit in tbe act of levyiurwar, wasliaole to be tried by a drumhead couit-martial and immediately executed. I his was amended by an act whioh was passod lat session, providing that parties, not being sulijocts ot beiMajesty, in a case ol this description, cou d be tried by a court ot justice. Credible witnessed wi 1 be brought belore you, who will prove that the pusoner wan among the Fenians, that ne ao'.ed in the caoao ty of chaplain, and that, in fact, be had a command amcng ihein. If this is proved, you will not have to consider whether he la In holy orders or not. If be vias with th.-m, bo knew what they camo for, and the law bo ds bim equally guilty. If you are not, however, alter hearing tho evidence, perfectly satisfied of this, the prisoner is to receive the benefit of Uit doubt, and is entitled to your acquittal. The following evidence for the Crown was then oflered : John Bay, examined by Mr. R. A. Harrison, sworn I live at Fort Kries I was there on ihe 1st of June; I saw tho prisoner at the bar there on tbe 1st of June; be was taere with the Fenians, wno ntimtered over 000 men ; the prisonor had no arms: be was dreed iu black, tho same as bo is now; 1 saw him in the village of Fort Erie; tho Fou aim stopped at tbe vlllaae a couple ot hours beioro tney went on Ihe march; they loit tboir valisoi benme, when tho prisoner ordered thorn to take up their valises, and said, "For tho boyB may want tl em, as we don't know how long we may stop in Canada;" thoy plokod up thoir va lues and followed tne main body; I then saw him on Saturday after thu fiahc at Fort Erie between a portion of our volunteer and the Fenians; can't say bow many we kn.ed or wounded, as the Fenians totk mo prisoner; I next saw tho prisonor on bunday, while he was taken by our voiuutoors a prisoner; bewaadiessed in black, and 1 took him tor a priest or docto ; am quite positive the prisoner at tbe bar is the man I saw. Alfred Wilcox sworn I remember seeing tbe prisonor on the 1st of June; he was stand ng talk ing with the Fenians who were left behind ; the main body bad then left; there were some satchels left behind, and he was giving orders to take them alter tbe othors, as he said "tho poor boys might want their clothes;" did not see him agaiu. Alexander Milligan sworn I saw a considerable body of men at Fore Erie on the 1st of June; 1 re side in the village of Fort Erie ; saw them about 5 in tho morning (the witness looked closely at the pri soner); 1 sav him at Foit Krio; I saw him first in a saloon, wbete he tried to induce tne men to take care ol tbemsolo; he bad on a dark coat; he did not look like a o'erg) man ; ho had a revolver dv his side; 1 beard him tell tne men to take care ot them selves when he went out 1 bad a conversation with bim, when he told me he would not barm us, only the red-coats; he said they did not mean to stay tLero ,ong or hurt tbe inhabitant ot Fort Erie. beviral other wituesaes were examined, ah tosti-f- lug to having seen tha prisoner along with tuo Fen ans at Fori Erie in June, and identifying him with thi m. For the doten?e no witnesses were called. Mr. M. Came! on then addressed tho jury on behalf ot tho prisonor in a very long and aole address. The do leiiBe be set up was that tho piisonor, boingaCaiho lio priest, was taken by loroe and compelled by the Fenians lo go to Fort Erie to administer spiritual conso atloa to the wounded; that, as a Rotnaa Catholio priest, he Could not refuse to attend to the calls ot tbe dying; and that at the time of tbe raid ne was on bis way to Montreal to recoive a logaey, and was in no way connected with the Fenian or ganization. Mr. J. U Cameron replied for the Crown in a long address, argu ng that by law tbe taot of tha prisoner having in any wav aiuod or countenanced tho invaders made him as guilty as thomae ve. The Jude having charged tbe jury, they retired at 6 P. M , returning in loss tbau an hour with a vercict of guilty. Ihe Judge thon sentenced the ?n'8oner,to be banged on the IStb ot Deoember next, he next trial does not take place for a few days. THE "RED STRINGS'.' OF NORTH CAROLINA A Loyal Secret Society The Members Threatened with Indictment. The Raleigh (N. C.) Sentinel, commenting on tbc result of the recent election in North Caro lina, says: "The vote at High Point tho only precinct abroad, as far as ascertained, where General Dockerv has obtained a larger vote than Gov ernor Worth confirms the suspicion heretofore generally entertained, of the acilve existence of tho 'Red String' and other secret organizations In the State societies which we believe to be treasonable to the Constitution and prejudicial to tbe quiet and poace of tbe state. It would be well tor the grand juries to look into this matter." The Raleigh Standard gives full Information concerning the organization and objects ot "The Red Strings," as follows: "The 'Red Strings,' as they are called, are simply the heroes of America. We do not belong to this Order, but we are posted in relation to it. Mr. Lincoln was a member of the Order. Oiieral Grant is a member ot it. Andrew Johnson Is a member of it. When pursued and phot at in the gorges of the mountains by Con federate troopg. be was aided by members of this Order, and perhaps owes his life to them. Many of the Union Generals and other otlioers are members ot it There are, probably, ten thou sand heroes of America in this State. They have their signs, grips, and passwords, like the Know Nothings, to which the editors ot the Sentind used, to belong. They are unconditional Union men and patriots. That is all. Instead of being traitors to the Union, they are among the best friends the Union has In the State. "Tbe organ of Governor Worth wants them indicted. During the Rebellion Governor Vance, the senior editor of tbe Sentinel, and other Rebels, denounced them aa traitors to the Confederacy; now they are traitors to th9 UnU.n! How can that be? Govermr Vance ann the senior editor of tho SentinH signalized themselves bv persecuting and Imprisoning the.'e very 'Red Btriuus' during the Rebellion. Now they want them indicted! This of 1tolt proves that 'the Confederacy' s'ill exists In this Stale in everything except its forms. Try It, gentle men! try It, If you darel The loyal men of this State will make sho -t work of you, if you attempt lo indict them on account of their Unionism. We dare you to try It. Vou will be crushed as jou deserve, It jon lift a linger against these heroes." - THE BAHAMAS.

George Peabody with the Children The Police Commissioners and Governor Swann, Etc. sviMsa telegraph special correspondence. Baltimore, Ootoocr 20, 180J. The great and honored philanthropist, George l'cabody, Esq , held a grand leveo this after noon with the school children. They turned out in vast numbers, of all ages and both sexes, com. ing from public and other institutions to the num ber, piobably, of twenty thousand. Mount Vernon place, where tho Peabody Institute is looated, and all the avenues l ading thereto, appeared literally I acked with tbe rising generat on, amounting to a vast army. An immense mass o, spectators were on the sidewalks; al o crowding doors, windows, etc., as lookers-on. sir. Peaoudy took his position on the marble steps, or it out portico, of the Insiitut ', whoro bo bowed to tbe children as they pasel iu prooasston, carrying flues, banners, etc. The greetings which asoonded to his praise, as this young army passed, were deaf ening. It took nearly or quite throe hours lor them to inarch bv wheio he was stationed, f hore can be no doubt of its having been a most gratilying occa sion to this noble patriot He seemed completely absorbed with dolighc, and the little ones equally pleased to too one whose naino, to thorn, was familiar as household words. It was, doubUets, worth half his lortune to see theso thousands of lunoojnt aud confiding children coming up in the sincerity of their heiirts to do him honor. It as real, free irom selfishness or hypocrisy. Never, perhaps, did Mr. Peabody appear huppior than on tn.soccasion. liesooinoa to io.vot that time was passing, and realized, doubtles, that the only thing in I lie worth living lor was. to do good to our lcilow-beings. A grand publio reception is to he given him to-moirow by the Mayor and City Coun cil, at the New Assembly Kooms. lie will there be tin biod to meet and greet ail, without distino ion of party. It was really a sublime sight to see this remarka ble patriot and philanthropist, who le t os thirty years ago, standing up betore an admiriug audience, the donor ol over one million ot dollars to our citi zens, appropriated so munificently on his; return How low men in tuo world there are like him! Even the mo.-t bitter secessionists and enemies of our Union cannot help admitting the possibility of something good coming from New England alter all. It was a glorious thing to hear Mr. Peabody yes terday announce so emphatically, in prvsenoe of so large an audiouoe, many ot whom had sympathized with tbe ltebelhon, that he was aud always had Lcen a strong Union man. It convinced them tint tho an ken could overlook their nonsense, aud do good whether they approved or disapproved. The case ol the lojai Po ice commi-wiooers ot Bal timore was under investivatl n butore Govornor fciwann to-day. lie has decided that it is in bis power to depose them, if the proofs justily it. 1 be naked truth ot this matter, in all honesty and sincerity, resolves itselt into a miserao e, piiiabto political trick to gain an advantage to the Ojponu party. If the Governor removes them, his act will bo held in contempt by all men who knon the wo. -.lbs of partisans. The Death of Stephen Benton, Esq. Meltino of ibe Kab.
