it
tow citizen Mr. John . Crosland, on his new. plan
for navigating the Schitylkill Canal by Steam. The
' Boat was launched lait week, and made several ex

was anticipated, owing to the difficulty of getting up
the steam. This, hewevrr, can be remileied.--and
from the result of the++ experiments the public feel
essured . ihat,the Neu Era will fulfil the expectation
of the enterprising builder, who is confident that after
the necessary alteratilns are Made, she can be run'
at the rate of six miles per hour. The wheels by
- which she. is propely are constructed in such a
Manner as to cause II p surge by which the banks of
the Canal can be injured.

THE HLtcvics.—Porter's majority will be about
23,000, in the State—sod the vote polled for Porter
will fall short of that palled for Van Buren last year .
about seven thousand.—The vote for Hanks will fall

thousand. This don't look like the locos gaining
ground. As soon as the official vote ie received, we
will lay it before our readers, together with a list of
the members of the Legislature elect.

time since appointed Agent to look after the Live
Oak Timber in Florida belonging to the Government.
On repairing to his post he found there was nothing

find a trusty man when he wants one.
Ofizo.—in this State the locos have a majority of
one in the Senate, end the same in the lower House.
The aggrfgate vote in the State shows a handsome
democratic majority. The State was districted in
such a manner by the locos, .a few years since, that
it will require a democratic majority of between 6

Tun Vero Powea.—The London Times in an
article on monarchy and democracy in which it
claims more real liberty for an English subject
than is to be found in any country of the world.
thus speaks of the abuse of the Veto Power in our
country :
Mr. Tyler, the new President, elevated to that of—
fice without any popular election, by a dispensation
of Providence at least as accider.tal as the devolu—
tion ofan hereditary monarchy, has placed his veto
upon a bill of immense importance (for incorpora
ting a Bank of the United States) which has pass.
ed both Houses of Congress, merely on the ground
of his own personal convictions. In monarchical
England, the Soverern has a veto, but it has never
been exercised for 150 years; yet in dcmocratical
America, the decision of ihe people is intercepted
from takisig effect by the will of a single man, and
that man not chosen for the purpose. In England
the prerogative of the Crown are exercised, not ac
cording to the private epinionsofthe Sovereign, but
under the advice of, responsible ministers; but in
America the democratic King refuses his assent to
a law because it is contrary to his individual judge
ment. And, to make the ease still stronger, this is
done upon the great party question of the day —the
the very-question which came uppermost during
the late Presidential election, and on which the
constituencies of the Union signified their will by
rejecting the candidate who then professed views
similar to Mr. Tyler's, and electing one pledged to
adt.Ft an opposite course. Our renders will per.
calve that we regard this matter merely in a con.
stitutional point of view. Upon the whole, the
more me look upon democracy, whether in its mix.
ed or in its absolote form. the more satisfied we are
that it is an extremely different thing from liberty,
and the better we are contented with our institu
tions.

This Packet abip.'provided; as our readers are a
yuire, with an auxilialy steam power and the Erica.
inn. Propellor, made a trial 'excursion ice the Bay
lest Saturday,, the result of which may be consider
ed of some
,importance ; , in connexion with .the pro
gress of the American steam navigation.
It has long heed:urged by grave autboritiesobst
nature has interposed an effectual barrier to prevent
the United States from competition with Greatßrit
ain in steam navigation, owing to the scarcity and
inferior quality of our bituminous coat The absur
dity of this opiniOn was strikingly illustrated in the
trial alluded to.
The public generally are not aviare that the Clar
ion'e,boilers have been constructed for burning an
dirtied° coal only, and that artificial draught was em
ployed in order to dispense with the usual tall and
combrnus smoke-pipe. Hitherto some diffieulty,has
been experienced in keepi.ig•up a sufficient supply
of steam in the t;lanon ;" but by the addition of
a small steam cylinder for working the blower applied
to the boiler, this difficulty has now been most com
pletely removed, and nothing could be more perfect
than the controloshich the engineer bad over the
steam during the tdal. By simply turnings stop
cock attached. to- rite smell cylinder, the quality
and pressure of the steam in the boilers were raises!
at pleasure.
Considering the small quantity of stowage room
required by-anthracite cold, its cleanliness, 'powerful
heating qualities, and the perfect absence of smoke,
we hazard nothing in assenting. after what we wit
nessed on board the "• Clarion, " that so far from the
United States laboring under any disadvant s age, res
pecting coal for steam navigation, we posse, in our
inethaustible stores of anthracite coal, an absolute
advantage of our transatlantic neighbors. And in
warfare we have an advantage of the most vital im-
portance. •
Steamers burning bituminous coal can be " track
ed" at see at least seventy miles before their hulls
come visible by the dense columns of the black smoke
pouriqg out of their pipes, and trailing along the
liorison. It is a complete tell-tale of their where
atni*,which is not the case with those,burning an
thraeiteCiaas the latter kind sends forth no smoke.
.Therei re oil steaners like the "Clarion" and "Kam
schatka," are decide li l y superior to all others in time
of war. And we regret4rery much that our new
war *steamers, the " Missonre. and Mississippi,"
have been constructed to burn''fiereign bituminous
coal only ! We regret very much aiet,the 0 Board
of Construction " had so little foresig ht. But this
empuesaot.
Having had the advantage of conversing With,
some thorough-bred engineers who were on board
the Clari4ll, we cannot aveid noticing the perfor
marce of the propeller curing the trial. The speed
of the engine being accurately tried, it was found to
give 4,700 revolutions to the piopeller in running
over a space of 14 miles. Now, the propeller being
ei feet in diameter ; and its spiral plates being set
at an angle of 46 degrees at the circumference, its
progressive movement through' the water will be
precisely 20 feet for each revolution ; had therefore
the resistance of the water been perfect, the vessel
could only have passed over a apiece of 95,900 feet.
But 14 miles is equal to 73,900 feet—thus it will
be seen that only 2-9:hs was lost by slip on the re
ceding of the water —a remarkable fact, considering
the large midship section of the "Clarion," compar
ed with the small dimensions of the propeller.
Respecting the consumption of fuel in the "Clar
ion," it has now been truly ascertained 320 pounds
per hour is the average, whictris less than that re
quired by'a British steamer of forty horse power.

WAR SirsAmsas.—lnstructions have been issued
for building at our Navy Yards the following steam
vessels.
At Norfolk, one of medium size, say between 600
and 700 tons, and one of 300 tons, to be propelled
by Lieut. Hunter's paddle wheels. The engine for
the latter is to be made at the Washington Navy
Yard, where it is understood work equal to any in
the country' has been turned out.
At Philadelphia., ine of 600 tons, to be propelled
on Capt. Stockton's plan; and one of medium size,
At Now York, one of medium sizo 600 to 700
tons. ...
The description of engines fur the medium stea
mers has not yet been determined upon. The Com
missioners of the Navy have opened a correspon
dence with the most experienced and scientific gen
tlemen in the country as to the beat models, and
have collected a large amount of Information upon
the subject which will be increased by further com
munications before the time arrives for making a
decision. They will, by these means, have the aid
of the best experience the country can afford.
Captain Stockton end 'Lieut. Hunter will each
have, as a matter of course; a general superinten
dence of the building of the vessels on their respec

that we are st a loss whereto begin or whets to stop.
We purpose, however, to dated-'the circumstance%
as they have come to our knowledge,
.(confining
ourself to the facts, as near 'u possible) and in so
doing we intentionally - omit the name of the unfor
tunate females who have been made de wretched
victims of a species of villainy unparalleled in .this
country. Their cup of sorrow and monification
must now be full, and we will not run it over by
gazetting their names:
It appears that it certain Edward C. Boling, (son
of the Rev. Mr. Doling, minister of the M. E. church,
1 and a resident of this county.) about three years
since married a Miss P—. a lady of respectability
as we learn, and lived with her newly two years.
About twelve months ago he left his home for the
purpose of studying the law in Gn3enboro' N. (~3..
1 leaving his wife behind. On his arrival in Greens.
hero'. be changed his name and introdoced himself
to the inkahitants of that town' as Sidney T. Smith,
of Alabama. He exhibited to the gentleman under
whom he prosecuted the study of ' law, certificates
purporting to be from distinguished gentlemen in
North Alaba-na, and which represented him as the
son of a wealthy cotton planter of that State. He
obtained credit to a large amount to -the stores of
that phic'e, and pretended that- * he was in daily ez.
pectation of the receipt of a large amount of fords
from his father, living as above stated. Soon after
he informed his acquaintances that-tie expected his
parent's in a short time to pass through Greensboro,
on a visit to some friends living in Southampton,
Virginia. Again he pretended to learn that his
father was dead, hut that he expected a visit from
his mother. and with a countenance indicating grief
for his lost parent, be entered o milliner's shop and
bespoke foe his mother a gaily dress of mourning,
while he wore crape on his hat! (Bold and reckless
man ! thus to tamper with the wrath and thunder•
bolts of Heaven!)
After this, he succeeded, by stratagem, to become
=•• _
Case or msams
acquainted with Miss E. B-, an accomplished
young lady of Guilford county, and daughter , of a
gentlemannf high respectability and of enviable pro
perty. He was pleased with her; and, with the cold
hearted ferocity of a fiend fresh from hell, determined
to make her the victim of his soul treachery and de-,,
teit.—By artfutend false representations, he gained
the confidence of her father; and by warm and or
'dent professionk of regard and attachment, induced
berlo,consent to become his bride. He determin
ed, in th4-black malignity of his soul, to become the
spoiler of thipeace of that domestic circle wh4re,
before, all was iSiinquil, happyness and joy. Like
the gaze of the basilisl4 , his treacherous eye was fix
ed upon that fair victim, arid. she might not escape.
Now he stood before the altar and plighted to Miss
B— his faith and the nuptial tie`was proclaimed
tothe world by the public journals—wheh not twen
ty miles dithant lived a lawfully wedded wife , who,
perhaps, at the moment of his marriage with Miss,
B—, - sighed with a throbbing heart for her hus
band's return.
The tali stops not here. Soon after his second
marriage, Smith alias Boling (a young man of fair
complexion and genteel dress) told his new father
in-law that be had been sadly disappointed in not
having received the fulids from Alabama, which be
had sq long expected, but still pretended that he con
' fidently expected them to arrive in a short time; sta
ted
orenver tLat he had bargained with a Mr. Ed
war' C. poling of this county far a tract of land. and
for wliich he agreed to pay Boling the sum of $3,-
i lo
700—and thus got his father-in-law to endorse the
payment of a bond of three the usand seven hundred
dollars i'i which sum he borrowed to pay for land.
Now, Smith alias Boling pretended to visit this
Edyeard C. Boling, to ratify-the land bargain. , Af.
Lei, a short absence he returned back, and, lo ! Bol
l:
ing had by book or crook, defrauded him out of his
mbney. He remained with his wife a few days, and
concluded to go and see poling again ; and such .
,
wee now the length of his absence that his last wife
becoming uneasy, proceeded in quest of him to the
*se of the Rev, Mr. Boling, of this county, ex
pecting to meet with him there : but she found him
li'—'3't—Mr. Smith was not known by any of the Mini
! • bile there Mrs. Smith bees ce acquainted
w?th Mrs. Edward C. Boling—whose husband was
absent also.
The two ladies remained together for several days,
and mutually expressed anxiety for the return of
their husbands, never one dreaming that they were
the wives of one and the same man. Mrs. Smith
alias Boling finally returned home without - hearing
from her husband—but Smith arrived soon after her.
return, told a smooth tqle relative to his absence, end
still complained of his treatment from Boling.
The want of space compels us to pass over many
events of interest which transpired after this late re
tem mentioned, until his arrest. His new father-in
law, enraged against Boling, and unwilling that his
son-in-law should brook such injustice, sou& t re
dress by the force aril power of the law. He accor
dingly had a writ: issued fur the arrest of Boling,
charging him with swindling Sidney T. Smith.
On Tuesday last, (our county court being in sea
lion.) Smith, in connexion with a young man, a re
lative of Mrs. Smith, arrived at Yanceyville, the
countyseat of this county, on his way, as he said, to
Southampton, to take charge of several throes
which he owned there, and to collect a large rum of
money then due him ; but an .his arrival at the court
-house., he made out to the young man that his horse
was too lame to travel . further—sent the young man
on to Southampton, stating that he would return.
get another horse, and, soon be with him. Thus
they parted, and the young man is now, perhaps,
awaiting Smith's alias . Boling's presence in South
ampton, or inquiring in vain after the property. We
have said they parted.—Smith pretended to go back.
Col. Lea deputy sherif who had been on the look
out for Boling, was informed that he was in the vil.
loge; on further inquiry he learned that Boling hail,
left town—some one had met him. Col. Lea moun
ted his horse, and pursued him; he overtook Bol
ing, who was on his way to the residence of his
first wife, and brought hitt to town. lmagine the
feelings of his new father:in-law, who Was in Yonce
trifle, on that day, seeking Bolinit's arrest, as he step
pad into the cwt house to observe the culprit, for
the Gist time, and at a glimpse exclaimed :-- . -....My
God ! that's the man who married my daughter!"
Bolingtaving been brought before an examining
court, was required to give boil in the sum of $5,000,
with two or more securities, which failing to do,
was committed to jail, and the witnesses bound to
appear at Guiltord Superior Court, where the defen
dant Boling will have his trial before the Hon.
