MINERS' ROUSES. elPrineipat Caw of Degradation t o As Region. It is a notorious fait that a man's morali ty is more or less affected by the style of tie ing he is anktected to—the food be eats, the elothes be wears and the building he occu pies as his home set directly, tho' it may be insensibly, upan his inner, as ,well as his external character. Give a man a proper, supply. of good, healthful _food and suitable Wearing apparel, and supply him with comfortable dwelling, and his internal ,na ture will be iinproved in proportion to.. l .his _outward appearance. His habits will coo fono, more or less, to his circumstances, he *ill war'a cheerful, contented countenance 'and will, in all respects, be a better man for inch influences:' This is the , : general rule tho' of Course-Ahem are exceptions, and the converse is equally true. Improper or insu fficient food and inadequate or uncomforta ble dwellings haves correspoodiogli dem ding influence. We pre fi x this general proposition to a few remarks we have to make-upon the Miners' houses in this Region. Ours is by no means an exception to this respect. The Sault, we are about to complain of,-seems, common to all mining countries ; and if there. is, soy difference io the quality of these dwellings in different Regions, we are rather better off, so far as our knowledge extends, than our neighbors. At some Collieries in our Region, she Miners' houses are pot op with considerable care, and preient an ap pearance of comfort and comparative beauty, both Inside and out; but, on the Other hand, there are many—very many erected without the slightest regard to decency of appearance and wanting endently in the commonest conveniences of domestic- life. A Miner's house often consists of but one room on the. first Boor and* ball-story garret above.— These must ser ve -the sag. washing, eating, sleeping and sitting. Large families of men, women and children are frequentli:crowded, pen mill, into these quarters, and Iron' the necessity Of the case must disregard, to a great degree, those de cencies of personal appearance, which more or less affect the character ot .social life, and to which the young mind is peculiarly sen sitive.- Every Miner, for ; instance. on , jennies from his labor, must bathe, not only his face and bands,bat his whole person.— Unprovided with the ttecessary "apartineeni, he must use the one room, where the whole family—men and women, girls and boys— are assembled, for his bath room. We in . traduce this only because it is one of the ' facts In the matter we are calling attention '' to—a : daily occurrence in - the life of many Miners. Another bad- effect of the absence of domestic comfort in such dwellings is to force the male members of the family from their hearthstone to seek Their evening enjoy: meats elsewhere. They congregate in the .Ale shops and resort to the cup and pipe for a temporary relief from -the inquietude and confusion of their homes. ' . Every Miner's house should be provided !tit& at least four rooms. Theee would eommodate any ordinary family and allow -ffieni to live in a very ,comfortable and re - spietable style. They would, moreover, take more pains in. keeping such a dwelling in good order. Many of the present buildings have never known the luxury of a paint or white-Wash brush either inside or out— r no yard or garden attached. and, except their be -huilt in the woods, no sign of shrubbery of any kind, useful or ornamental, appears any. where near. - They are, moreover, set down here and there, nearthe WOTICP, without re gard in beauty or healthiness of locality.— Such dwellings arehardly fit for human be ings to occupy. Nor do they escape censure abroad. The author Of " The Cabin and Parlor," compa ring the condition of the laboring population of the North with that of the Southern slave, puts this severe criticism into the mouth of one- of his Characters,—" The worst huts I ever saw Minim beingt_inhabiting, in this , country, I saw, some years ago, at the. Su mmit coal-mines. We have nothing so laid at the South." It has been a loin time since we visited the Lehigh Region, acd hence we cannot vouch fur the author's correctness— we only give the remark as we find it, to show the impression such things are likely , tri.riroatice upon a stranger. Y!t_i ~T ; y MS 't f. t l', i o -- 2- ."-- asiow. an improvement in the conveniences and comforts of our Miners' houses would r.-:.•., _ - ::,-- sty enat.trially better the grade of character i . •.: ciT,' their occupants. They themselves would bi",.improved and their employers beneficed. .4, •(,., **trig comfortable' houses, they would be t: 4 less likely to resort to other . plods to spend ;:i .." their evenings, they would improve them selves by books or conversation at home.— They would take a natural pride in adorn ''i•4 4 4 ing their dwellings, th ey would plant shade I .i" trees and flowers and vines at their doors and add many little conveniences inside that are now neglected. They would pay more at i.! intim) to their domestic comforts and cold a.. vale a' family pride—a pride natural in eye :.7 • ry. human heart. "). -,- '• The objection that many "Miners will not , - occupy good houses and that They prefer . . : - , building a common hut (as they often do) to :: • paying a little higher rent for a comfortable dwelling iseasily answered. Erect good bons _,..: _ . es—we do not mean expensive ones nor such as must necessarily tent high—but substan tial,•... ,:. roomy, comfortable and well located, -,, ` and if you have Miners who will not occu py them at a-reasonable rent, why, the soon ," ' er you are rid of such class, we think the better. So that if , the objection be really va lid, good houses posses a double advantage —he Collieries are rid of the poorest class . . 1 of workmen, and those that remain are ins pr ved besides. i 112" Since writing. the above, our attention has been called ro a fact that we have omit• ted to mention. The landowners for a small eobsideration, very frequently give perms. sktn to the Miners to erect. huts-or cabins for ir themselves near the works , and it is mostly •,. -these that 'present the Worst appearance—the builders using the utmost economy, without regard to the comto - rt or convenience of their m dwellings. _ We hope that calling public attention to this subject will be sufficient to effect the re- form. and that before many years our Min y _ers' houses be as remarkable for their corntart and neatness as they now are-for the absence of all ordinary conveniences and their forbidden„ appearance. `7-1:11 Wu f; r, Co N ENTION.—The • ; :-kii W• hig State Central Committee' met last w• eelr t at Harrisburg,and agrepd that the Whig - '4 4- F`State Conovention shall on TRIMS ; reg_ DAY March 21, in LANCASTER CITY.

No ;Airoor at yOzto • The next session of our Court w ill be the regllar time for many dealers to renew their Liquor lionise for the coming year. and among them a goodly proportion of our Coal Opetators,-ro sell at theireoUiery stores. We have a suggestion to make -this latter list of 'applicants—a suggestion founded . up on the reported exPerienee of rainy, as well amour own observation, and 'hence worthy, at least, of-a trial. - - `, It is this,—do not take out any license for your Collieries this year._ - The objects to be gained -are two-fold ; first, the Improvement -of the Miners and laborers, and anxedly; the : iumiediate oak vantage to the Operators from . haring sober and more industrious men:about their works. The first will hardly be questiocied. Many men, others beside Miners,,drink simply, be-' cause they are thrown in the way of tempta tion. Were it removed, they would live and die sober men—seldom, if ever, feeling the want of strong drink. , They themselves— even men notoriously addicted to intemper ate habits—often admit that they are better off withput: liquor, and we find plenty of such men'arilliog to sign Maine Law pelf lions, so as to remove the temptation entire ly. It is a generally conceded .tact now-a days everywhere, among, all unprejudiced and disinterested p er sons, that liquor is a su perfluous luxury, and that men, generally. would be quae as well off, if no: better, without it than' with As to the seeontrobject, we must refer to experience, backed by a lade 'Comition sense reasoning.. A number of our Opera tors have long nine abolished the sale of liquors at their Collieries, And make intox ication a sufficient cause of forfeiture-of' em ployment among :heir men. They assure us that. The plan yorks admirably—that . where they made one dollar by, the sale of liquors before, they now make twenty from the iiikaankindustry arSsteadiness hf their men. That t tbeir Minerr and laborers ate just as well contented—agree among them selves, enjoy better health, and work cheer fully and regularly. Moreover, the general character of the - men is greatly improved, for the dist intemperate, (and Consequently most disorderly .and irregular.) who would not submit to the .new regulation, have been discharged, and now none are employ ed about the works but sober men. This-is the testimony of those who have tried our Suggestion, and whatever may be thought of our personal views of the subject, their ex periencejlentitled to respect. . . Thern'yet remain some eleven Collieries in the Region, where liquor is sold-1 at St. Clair, .1 at Tamaqua, 1 in Schuylkill Town ship, 3 in Pottsville, 1 at New Castle, 2 in 3linersville, 1 in Cass acid 1 in Branch town ships. Now, these are but a small propor tion of the entirettuniber of our bperators and, as they swim ought to be reasonable gentlemen, they should certainly consider the experience of their brother Operators in this, matter worth sone:haw. The plan is, a: -least, deserving of a trial. Suppose, gen tlemen, you abolish the sale and drinking of liquor at your Collieries for one year, and note the effects—see whether the general character and behaviour of your workmen are httproved by the change, and tirliether they floss as many working days in the next tweljte months as they did in the lit— whether there is more or less wrangling and fightmg about your works, and lastly wheth er you are richer or poorer ai the end -of the year:for the new regulation. Give it a lair trial for one year and, if it does not succeed, we promise never to say another word to you on the subject. We appeal to you now both for your own and your men's sake.

I OFFler. MIRE /JILL lk S. U. R. R. Co., rds Ist, 1E453. 5 , Messrs. M. G.& P. ILEknee, G. Bis? & Co, Ann crruits—Gentle n : The proposition signed by yourselves and oiliers,'aris delivered to me by ,Mr. MACDONALD, and would have Leen replied to before this time had I not understood from him that another meeting of Operators would be held on his return, to which I expected him to communicate wind views relative to the question which I hoped would induce another proposition from you, based on the grggestions made at the recent interview I had the pleasure of having with you a: hlinerseille. Bearing nothing more from him 1 suppose the views I expecwsnl have not been laid before you, and I, therefore, beg to set them forth in this com munication. The Most remarkable feature fn the historyr of the Mine Hill & Schuylkill. Haven Rail Road Comps. ny, m respect to which it differs from any otuer road in .Schuylkill County, and perhaps from any other road in existence, is the tact that its Stock- holders, Sikh' ot them at leas as-retain their stock, have not yet realized any retu:nlan their invest ment in money, notwithstanding the large and pros perhus Mutnies, done upsn the road to many years. As fast as 'dividends of profits base been declared, the demands for new laterals or extensions of the old ones for the iiccomizuziation of the colliers and land owners in the region, has required an imme. &its return of their 'whole amount and considera ble sums in addition. ' Several of the 14guers of the paper received from you. are now applicants for such everisioris,and cern! are about to receive the benefit of extensions now making at their request, which will absorb all the profits that can be earned for more than a year to corner • - In consequence of this. unusual state of things which is:beliered•trigroW out of the peculiar ad vantages of „mining facilities mid low tots belong:- ing to the West Branch district, mango! the Stock holders of the Compalny have been obliged to tell their stock, as iltrprodnoed no income except the new Shares the profit& upon which also are to be absorbed, in thu tame manner, lensing nothing in the way of ordinary ine,ome applicable to their. current expenses . - • It is welt knoWn that these continual extensions of the road:and rei-Mvetemet&of dividends have not beedruatle by desire : of the Company ; on the - contrary • 'large 'proportion of the Stockholders would much prefer leaving them to be made by other parties; and some have been so strongly op posed to the perity that alter vainly endeavoring to resist it they have del-ohs-II their connection by selling out all their interest in the road. The Board-of Managers, however, have leen of the opinion that so long a. the Company received a fair support from the Operators and land owners. they ought to extend these facilities Until the entire basin C 4. the West Branch and it. tribtitaries -hall -befairly accommodated; millu p measure of jus lice to the Stockholders they are also of opinion that-the continually-investments thus rendered ne cessiir—ly should be accompanied hy.a irsionable as surance of a fair return of a profit, to those who= have thus invested their Money, The justice of this opinion will be evident •it it be borne in mind : ilkat the whole profits up to this time being repre sented by shares of stock. - any notion that will di minish Of destroy the value of this stock must di wimbh oe,destroy all that has ever been earned for the Shekholders. A ealculation of all the dividends earnest by the . Company and thus left to be realized only in case of future prosperity, will chew that their aggregate amount even if that prosperity be not destroyed will average very much less than the fifteen per cent per annuli) allowed by the Charter. Tile-Operators for whose benefit this policy of extension has been pursued have given repeated as surances of their wish and intention to allow the Company the undisturlied enjoyment of its legal dividend., and even the great Land l a mpany, whose dominions extend over every secti of the West Branch Valley, has relaxed tin hostility to what it is pleased to call, a great Rail Ratio mono poly, when new laterals were wanted to open new portions of its extensive territories. Within a few 'years it seat its - alentm to !Farris burg to solicit an increase of Capital for this Road, when its owners desired no such increase; and re. finned to taro any part in obtaining it, an Jul also thane Operators who were not controlled, by this gnat Landed Company, The *sly action of the to Waage» of the 'mad being. to 'ndieste what pro: visumn would insure the rejection of the proposed bill and what might promote its acceptance. The einditica,s by virtue of which our as-eel was to be. Refired involved n pledge of the parties ,who got up the bill that the capital invested under it should be itemire from their hostility. ' This implied pledge was kept until the Mine Hill & Schuylkill :Haven Rail:Road Company had fair ly bound itself to carry out the new law by making • large expenditure under it ; but so soon as this had keen erfeeted, the old hostility was revneitaral will not cease, it in presumed, until the Landed Company alliided to shall obtain the- special advert tages and immunit • it long sinceendervor ed to feCUle.: II the indiiidual OperalorA on t hose friendly-as surances ranch reliance has been laced, lend their aid to the present endeavor to e 'lipid the Mine Ilill Compdhjr to reduce its tolls ithout reference to any increase of trade, and the Company be re luctantly forced to eon.ider_ those assurances to havelieen only specious promises de-jutted to lead to the'desired expendititre.withoet any serious in tention of lultilment ; the policy, cif extending its laterals iu the Valley of-the West Branch must he abandoned; as the'lloard could ant, with propriety, advise. their Stockholders to re-invest their earnings when the expectation of future remuneration in nu longerlo be entertained. - Were the toll". charged by the Mine Hill Compa ny higher than those on the other roads in the re gion, or were the Operators lens prosperous than their competitors on other roads there would be no hesitation on the part of hin ) Company, in ma king such reductions of Its charges an would give our du-triet at least equal advantages. But while it as a well known fart that our tolls are lower than those of any other road in the re von, and that the peospertty of our district is 'such as to give if the power to produce the whole in crease of the trade of Selauylkill County, there does not seem to be any jtoq reason why - the Company should be required to reduce un charges until a far ther inereae of trade may, enable it to do PO with out In-s to its Stockholders tilsould inch icerra-e occur, there would seem to he abundant security in the pam action of the Hoard in warrant an expectation of a prompt reduction.— Aral the Bond Will that thy Company has alway.

'The other is that they are sectarian in their influences, and that they Cannot send their chiktrert to them or rather dial they cannot permit other o• pies children. to enter them without 9 gross violation of "conscience.", -Now, without intending any unnecessary. disiespcct to the'rnen who set up ibis claim for a share of the school find, we beg leave to say that neither of these statements are true in fact, and that those who make them know they are not true. They have other reasons for seeking to destroy our school system.: Their °Nation to it is nut that it hasnot a wholesome moral influence, or that Catholic laymen cannot send their children to free schools .without doing violence to their conscience. Lilies deeper—it Is :0 ed ucation itself.. Their object is to prevent all education, except such as shall he, acquired free from all but Catholic. hauliers, associ ations and bigotry.. They have discovered. that an edtication in Arbenca, under our free lest i totloos.lS inconsisient with catholicism, and that the children of ; catholic parents,who are lelt to mingle freely with Prutestaets,ond to breathe free Republican air, are very apt to forsake the faith of their fathers before they become more'ihan one or two genera tions reinoved. Or rather; they become more Americans than Catholics:. This is against'. the whole policy, as well as in di rect opposition to .the interests of the Catho lic church. This is the real objection otir Catholic Bishops and Priests have to h com mon school education. It is said' by these caoscienee keepers. "guardians or Trustee?' of our Catholic fel low citizens, that their children are deprived of all the benefits of our Free Schools, this' they are compelled :o pay their full share of taxes for their support, because they cannot partake, of whatever. advantages they are claimed to possess, without destroying their morals and endangering their souls. Me have declared that in our opinion, theikno more beliexe this statement than we di); or than the intelligent portion of the Amertcan people of whatever'sect do, and that this plea of • conscientumu scruples is put forth as specious pretex: or coven for their war upon a system which they d'areAnot - at first aunt openly.. We have also ifidd it was not trim to fact that Catholicircoulff'oot con scientiously send their childreti-,to our Free Schools. We venture the prediction in all confidence, that if the Cstholiolaity or. the country had beet:Cleft' to their ova choice, free to send theif . children' in our schools, or keep them. away; with-.no promptingi from their priests, thete is - not One in a thousand who would ever \have suspected they were sending their offspring to perdition instead of sending them to school. :1 . These scruples were ratted by the Priests, and Catholics tvere absoluteli forbid to send their children to Free Schools, under the threat of eternal damnation,•when they pro- ved refractory, as we know limy sometimes have in other places. Thevfound that Cath olic children were becoming too intelligent, that the knowledge they were acquiring was creating a spins Of inquiry and investigation wholly incompatible with a blind adherence to the Catholic or ank other faith, that would not bear the light of truth and the test of ex amination. This independence of thought would never do. it was, in the opinion of the Priests, endangering the whole Cathblic creed in America. and an end must be put to it forthwith. The eiy of " immorality," "infidelity," " sectarianism," " godlessness," &e., was raised against the system, and parents were -also told that they were training up their children for infidelity, crime, and ignominy in this world, nod everlasting torments in the next, by riming them to the contami untioF,. mid' damning h em of Free Schools. They knew, of course, if they could convince theircredulousfollowers that they were - risking the mortal and immortal welfare of their offspring, their " con sciences" would not permit them to endan ger their souls in that way. But while they are pteparing their minds for this great "Catholic" truth. and in anticipation of it, they put in the plea of "conscience" them selves fur their adherents, that no time might be lost. What suecess hai crowned their efforts in bringing them to the desired point of conviction, we cannot say; but we do not believe there is now, with all the ona therms that have been hurled at die heads of the disobedient, one in ten of the Oath's• lie population, who really has the slightest apprehension that that they are doing their children an injury by giving them a Commnn School education. But the Most hold and imprudent charge made -againsL our Free-Schools is, that they destroy the morals of the scholar: If the history of the world did not furnish the most undoubted proof of the tact, we think com mon sense will teach that a, belief in the power of a Priest to forgive sins, and. his readiness to do so for a sufficient considera tion. would be quite as - likely to lead to inf. tuortsl practiCes. as the Protestant belief,that none but the Saviour of the World possesbes that power, and that he-only forgives such as siocerely repent of their sins, and for ever abandons •theta. . Immorality is the . last charge Catholic Priests' should allege as the fruit of a Free :School education under Pro testant inthiences. Such •charges arc very apt to lead to the institution of comparisons, from which ratholics can gain nothing, if they are not the absolute sufferers.---[State Journal.

Estimated, make per annum, 2, 1 701,000. Our estimate of make is, of course, based upon the ordinary production ; but it is prop er to state that, at present, in South Stafford shire generally, and to some extent in Wales, the quantity of iron produced is considerably lea than usual, owing to the scarcity of coafs ; and in them former district this is likely to be the case for some time to come. In Scotland no such difficulties are expenen ced, and the present remunerative prices will no doubt lead to a considerable increase to the present large make. The improvement which theiron trade has experienced has been the result of causes which .appear to give security for its main tenance in a state of prosperity during the ensuing year. There never was a period when the couniry at large enjoyed so much general pios,aerity as at present—employ meat is abundant in every department. whilst the necessaries of life are cheap, and by the wise legislative measureb of late years, plenty is rendered much more certain than in former times. With the rapid in crease of wealth, railways and public works, into which iron largely enters, will be devel oped; and the horne consumption is likely to be greater than at any former peritid, If we look abroad, especially to the Western world, we 'see the same causes at work ; and, although' high prices here will undoubtedly stimulate forcip production (which. however; the gen eral scarcity of labor will check.) the de ! matid for iron is io rapidly on the increase as ; to absorb all that can he made here or else ! %ch i li., e production of manufactured_ iron in this country we look upon as haviag, for the present, reached its maximum, from the scarcity of labor, and the indispositiOn to la ..bor When wages are high. Emigration has drafted okmany thousands of our mining -population and' the attractions of Australia are likely'to reduce available labor still fur thee This is a new feature and one which. from its importance, is worthy of close atten tioni In these remarks we have referenee l mainly, however, to manufactured iron, which requires skilled labor, and exclusively to the English trade. In Scotland no car city of labor has yet been experienced; and the production of the raw material—pig iron, is likely to be increased. As the stock of this article is already verr large, and the supp:y likely , therefore, to be in excess of any de mand, we do not look fur the maintenance of , a higher price ihan the presentoriz &M. per ion, net cash. I. o. h. at Glasgow, al though speculation may drive the price up again considerably. as it has done before, but weTear - only to lead to a disastrous fall, such as Many are now suffering from. It will, on reference, be ffiond that the price of Scotch pig iron has nevi :r borne a fixed proportion to manufactured iron, as it is made for foul); dry, and not forge purposes. . A Moderate price is . the best guarantee for a large and wholesome demand, and at about the present rate we may expect that'ffie con sumption will overtake the production. Tan platen are likely to go higher. The_ demand is largely increasing and from the enhanced 'value of all the materials, as well well as labor, the increased cost of production makes higher prices a necessity; 110 s. is the pres entprice., If peace is maintained on the continent, and Providence favors us with a good liar vest,ithe prosperity of the metal trade will be secured ' • and at present we may anticipete that (he blessings of peace and plenty will he continued to us. . • JOHN fIANNAN 341 ICS DISTANCE TO THE SUN.—imagine a railway from here to the sun. How many inilei is the sun Iron us?

OVRIOVII TAM ABOUT COAL First Aypearanto of Mau. coo royal, - Professor Youmans, in a recent lecture on' chemistry.`gave a canons account of the en dergmund coal beds, &c. He: says 'these beds consist of the charred or carbonized re mains of an ancient end most luzitrioui Veg etation.: The primeval forests were proba bly swept into bodice and covered with frind: which became solidified_ into rock, and in that condition the wood was gradually alter ed to coal. The source of the carbon therefore, the same as that of coal or wood now-a.days. In. its mode of growth and the source of its elements, the tree is, the same now that it ever was: and we know :'that the charcoal of wood now, comes !rota the atmosphere. It is derived from the carhonic acid of the aid. _We. therefore, reach the re markable conclusion. that previous to the deposit 'of the coal forrnations, they existed in the form of a poisonous gas in the air.— The quantity of carbonic acid must have been very - great, and the atmosphere in an itces sleety poisonous condition. How couldlani mak breathe that atmosphere? Clearly enough, they could not'; and hence geolo gists have failed to find the remains of; air. breathing animals in the rocks belosi the_ coal The animals that_appeare4-6e low the coal inhabited the' water, and , rere of the lowest organization. But as ihe i coal was, eposited through the growth of a;vast exuberant vegetation, the atmosphere. 'was purified of its noxious element—its carbonic acid was withdrawn, and thus the ancient .atmosphere underwent an alteration which fitted it-for the appearance of higher animal races. At the_same time, by the formation of immense coral reefs and islands trilhe ocean, vast quantities of carbonic acid : Were j. ked up in ,the coral-formed limestone.— ''q. ese little animals that dwell in the depths of he sea, were thus co-operating with! the colossal vegetation above, to deprive the air of its poisonous and deadly constituents. After the formation of the coal we have air-breathing animals in abundance, but of the lowest order—the reptiles. These rep tiles were of All enormous size, and reigned supreme. Their appearance is termed the Saurian age. By-further coraline action; and the deposit of later coal, (lignite,) dila pro cess of purifying the air was still furihercar ried• forward, and then we have the appea rance of still higher animals. At last came man. His remains are found in the most recentlormation. He came, not before his time. The master was uoulavi led till the house was prepared fur bis.habi tation. High intellectual qualities are reissi ble only to an animal breathing an atmosi , phere rich in oxygeo and nearly destitute of carbonic acid gas. • The coal period is hence one of intense philosophical interest in its relation to the appearance and progress of life in this planet. It implies a change in th atmosphere, which allows a more elevated grade of organiza tion. The change with ich we have been dealing, of coarse, requir vast periods of time. but we must recol t that we' are speaking of the plans of th t infinite Being whose resourcea,both of le and materials, are as boundless est h fictions of his own being. We' must beware how we venture to restrict the operations of Omnipotence to our own narrow and limited views. • ! ANOTHER 'NEW MOTIVE POW ER. A company in New York have published a prospectus of asnew power, and claim for it the most extraordinary and marvelous qualities. It is called Salomon's Carbonic Acid Gas Engine. , Its proprietors belieye that it is soon to surpass the highest claims of &lesson's:as much as Ericsson's past 'and present anticipations have surpassed and may yet surpass the engines of:Watt, of Fitch,and of Fulton. They call it the crowning Work of motive power, which is about to cotOnn mate and characterise the Meridian glory of the nineteenth century. Carbonic Acid Gas is generated in any de sired quantities, by the action of diluted Sul phuric Acid upon clalk. At the ordinary temperature and pressure, Carbonic Acid at, tains the gasseous state. But when subjee n ted to the pressure of 36 atmosphe&s, or 510 pounds to the square inch, at a temperature of 40 deg. Fahrenheit, it has a pressure of 1080 Rounds to the Equate inch. Its eXPan sibility by heat, therefore, will create a mo tive power af unlirnited capacity. ti Henry %V. Adams, a practical chemist, made such experiments •in 1850, with,lthis gas, in Its generation, its reduction to a liquid by a pressure, and also to a solid, so that he can and does testify twits immense power as a Mechanical:agent. 1 The practical operation of tte - new engine ItiTi follows i The gas is generated, in the first instance, as before mentioned, and is forced from the generator, under a pressure of 540 pourids to the square inch, unto a reservoir of stnali eop per tubes, all united so as to form but one con duction main for the liquid, , and so bent that a considerable length of this tabing_is placed in an air tight box, whose temperature - ti kept at 32 des. by au exhaust pump, worked by. the engine. Upon entering this copped tub ing from the generator, the gas is red aced to a liquid, and the condensor.is thus- ehar „l: The pressure upon this copper tubing is now 540 pounds to the square inch. A force pump—worked also by the engine—is icon nected to one end of the copper tube, aed at every stroke forces a given amount` of carbonic acid gas into a gas holder or st4bstt lute for a steam boiler, whose temperature is kept at 45 deg. When the liquid eaters this resorvoir, it is at once expanded into gas, and exerts a presiure of 10.50 pounds to the square inch. Under this pressure, a Valve opens its communication with the piston, which is worked by the gas. Then an es cape valve opens in communication wi:h; the other end of the coppeesubing, or condelisor, while, at the same moment, the first named egress valve closes, and soother opens at the other end of the piston. - "The result ii,lthat the piston is forced hack into the cylinder under a pressure of 1080 pounds to the square inch, while the gas at the other end of the piston, is forced out into the copper tubing, and condensed to a liquid by an instantane ous reduction of temperature to 30 deg. and under a pressure of 540 boundsso the square inch. Thus a perpetual ci rc uit of power is kept ,up.” This new power is inexpensive. It sta ted that it will not probably cost 55 to run a vessel to Europe.—Barran Herald. GAS FROM WOOD A Southern paper says :—A dentiit in Washington has taken out 'a patent! for generating gas from simple wood. This is no idle fiction. We examined the works and saw the light burning in juxtaposition with that created from the Scotch coal,And it was equal to it both in purity and cy. The inventor has entered into a coact with a company in Wilinington„North Car olina, to light up that town with this Mate rial. Pine wood, with which that country abounds, is preferred to any other, and the gas generated from it costs comparatively nothing. It is estimated that every house is Norfolk, and all the public lamps cap be lighted fora sum not exceeding a dollar, per night. This is alinoSt as cheap as moonshine. The appartus• for generating this gas iS ex tremely cheap and simple. and we expeil to a few wears to find it in univeral use—acces sible alike to the poor as well as the rich.' • r?.
