A, TEL/VIBAX from Harrisburg. gives' us
the following racy item:
"One of the results of the Senatorial Con

Simon, Cameron and . Attorney General
Brewster, who' expresses a decided disap
prOYal of tho course pursued by Cameron
throughout the canvass. Brewster intimates
that the object. of Cameron's exertions was
to secure a candidate-to aid certain interests
In Congress." '
When we conaller the Intimate relations
which have prevailed between Messrs. Cam
cron and Brewster, and the bosom friend
ship exiting between them arid Mr. Lowry,
the significance of this quarrel assumes pe
culiar local interest. On which side Mr. L
will ultimately array himself we arc not
no* prepared to say, but if it should happen
that his attachment to Brewster is the
stronger, the consequences may be painfully
momentous. at then will become of the

Cameron as their "right bower!" Who will
secure their appointment first, and confirma

This Hotel was built by Geo. Buehler, an
_opulent and enterprising gentleman from
Dauphin county, Ya.,tii 1805, and kept hy
hint as a hotel midi 1810, when he removed
to Harrisburg again. Hewes succeeded by
James DUI/C3ll, who kept it until 1818, when
he was succeeded by Thomas Itec3, Jr., and
Mr. Rees by James McConkey, who finally
closed it as a hotel in 1834. The history of
this house, and the incidents contiectC(rwith
it, have always Iklen held in great reverence
by.nur citizens, #itore particularly as having
been the headquarters of Cont. Perry while
preparing the vessels for his squadron for
the ever memorable-101h of Sept., 1813, and
during his stay on this station. - Well will be
rememberellty the few. surviving of our old
citizens the afternoon of the 32l Oct., 1813,
wherT Cont. Perry, Gen. Harrison, and Com.
Barclay, (the English„csommander) with their
respective attendants, arrived in the Schooner
Ariel from Detroit; and, landing at the foot
of French street, marched up to the hotel,
Corn. Barclay having been _wounded and
feeble, was supported on the one side by)
Coin. Perry, and on the other by Gen. Bar
titian. About half way up to the hotel, Com.
Barclay_ came near swooning, when.. Tom
Breeze, Com. Perry's Secretary, ran up and
got some Wiite, which revived' him. Corn.
Perry gave up 'his private quarters to Com.
Barclay, which was the- noted south =eas t
corner chamber on the second- floor, anti
-would not pertnit _ them to,illnuainate BLit
portion of the building observable by the
gallant but captive Commodore; as that
evening there was a general illumination,
and the streets were thronged with a joyous

cheering and shouting in honor of the I;ic

Whatever differences of opinion may exist
in regard to the policy of building as ex
tensive Water Works as the city has just
&tapieted, Or ris ta the heal Means of supply,
few will deny that is point of Mechanical
and engineering skill the Works erected are
anicmg the most creditable in the country.
They are now in successful operation, every
thing about the machinery is working to
perfection, an abundant supply of water is
distributed throughout the city, and -tbe,pres
eat seems an appropriate time to give a de
tailed account of the enterprise.
The Water Commissioners, after giving
the subject a carefel examination, reached•
the conclusion that the only reliable source
of supply was the Bay, the water of which
has been, analyzed and pronounced as pure:
as that of the streams back' of the city. A
point on the bank at the foot of Chestnut
street was selected, where the earth was dug
away, and a foundation secured for the build
ings and•stand-pipe on the solid reek, sonic
feet above the level of the water: A dock
800 feet in length, with a water channel in
the centre, has been built out into the Bay,
from which a pipe extends 400 feet further
Into 30 feet of water. ,Through this dock
and pipe all the water flows that Is_ pumped
into the reservoir. •
• The Water Works' ,bnildings are of an
irregular shape, being one story high next Co
the land, and two stories ;with a basement,
next to the water. They arc constructed of
brick and make a neirat appearance. The
main building has a flat roof, surrounded by
a railing, Inuit, which visitors have a Spiels%
did view of the Bay. , it is 30 by 35 feet in
size and 0.5 feet high'. - The jciice,are tabular
and made of boiler iron, the upper and lower
ones being connected by immense iron col-.
umns, which give a strength that will not
be affected by any possible amount of strain.
In this *building are two powerful Cornish
Bull Engines, constructed by the 'Vest En
gine C0.,„0f Norristown, PR., and considered
equal to any of their kind in AWerica. They
are • placed in the upper story, with the
pumps immediately beneath them. ' Their
cylinders are upright, are 60 inche's in diam
eter and 10 feet stroke, and of immense
weight. The pistons work directly in con
nection with the pump rods. •The pumps
are 21 inches in diameter and 10 feet stroke,
and are capable of pumping two million gal
lons rash in seventeen hours ; that being the
time it is supposed they will run each day—
the remaining seven hours being allowed for
stoppages. The water is taken from directly
beneath the pumps, it being conducted there
through the channel in the duck. The en
gines are calculated to operate the pumps at
the rate of 12 strokes per minute, hut arc
capable of being worked up to sixteen strokes.
The power of the engines may be varied, by
means of weights, so as to sustain a greater
or less quantity of water in the stand-pipe.
By this arrangement the pumps will be oper
atel 1
tell the desired height of water is reached
in the stand-pipe, when the engines will
automatically stop. It is not designed .to
work more than one engine at a time, the
oilier being kept in order to provide against
accidents.
Attached to the main building is the boiler
house, 50 by 60 feet, and one story high,con
lainlog 'eight boilers, 30 feet
.lOng and 42
inches in diameter. They rest on brick and
stone work, built up from the solid rock.
Each boiler will be independent of the others,
so that the stopping of one will not affect the
others. The smoke stack is I bnilt of brick
and is 100 fist in height
Although the machinery of the works is a
source of much interest to those skilled in
such matters, the principal object of attrac
tion to the majority of prisms will always.
lie the great stand-pipe, into which the water
is pumped and thence distributed over the
city. It takes the Place'of the old fissidoned .
.reservoir on elevated, ground, which was
formerly supposed to be a necessity. . The
stand-pipe Is placed on with the boiler
house, and at its miaow* corner. It is
220 high 'above the roPir, (sullkfient to Carry

ant 7-16th of an inch at the bottom, weighs.
42 tons, and is to be surmounted by an orna
mental spire 'or bright metal, fifteen Oset
high,: making. 'it the highest pipe as
the continent 'and probably in the world.
The pipe was put Up,.in sections, similar to
the placing together of anelinary stove
pipe.' It wairnade"and piaci, position
the Erie - City Iron Works, and is, iu ail
respects. a creditable "speeithen.' of their hit
ganulty ind capacity; The pipe is tahave a
wall built around it to the height Of 192 1 feet,
enclosing a'spiral staircase of 250 steps, and
surmounted by a balcony 5 feet wide, from
which a magnificent view will be lunfot the
City and Its sarroandinipt. The wall is of
stone '22 feet, and - the balance will be of
brick. It is not yet completed, but will be .
soon after spring opens. Into the stand-pipe
the water is pumped directly from the Bay.
and it can be filled to any height desired.
The interior consists of one chamber only;
and the'water enters and leaves by pipes at
tlie,foot in a manner which we cannot ex
plain with our limited knowledge of such
matters. The design is eventually to have a
reservoir on some high ground, hi which
event it is claimed that the stand-pipe will be,
an advantage. At present the latter is ex
pected to meet all the necessities of the city.
The p \ rineiple is said to be in successful op
eration in Philadelphia and elsewhere.
Two engineers ail: all the employees at the
works now, but when they are in full opera
tion, two firetngn will . be required in addi--
tion The estimated expense of ritnning the
works, when everything gets to going as
expected, is $3O per day. The total cost of
tke works, including laying of pipes through
. the streets of the' city, is about $300,000.
Applications for water have already been
made to a greater extent than was anticipaP
cd, find the officers believe that before
every years it will be conveyed into nearly every
building hi the city and South Erie.
The ground for the works was first broken
on the 7th day ot, April, and the engines
commenced pumping on the 2tth day pf,Be•
ceniber, showing a degree of speed seldom
attains' on public :imprOveinents, .and un
mistakably eibibiting the efficiency of the
contractors and officers in charge. The
bailing* were erected by John M. Kuhn
who hail the - entire contract for their con
struction. IL M. Birkeubine, of Philadel
phia, the celebrated Civil Engineer, had, the
general superintendence of the • improve
ment. The Water Commissionersare W. W.
Reed, henry Itawle and J. C. Selden—
W.I. Scott, one of their-original members,
having resigned and Mr. S. taken his place.
The faithffilneas with which all these• gen
tlemen have performed their respective duties
is best attested by the superior rbaracter of
the Works, attained at less cost than any
similar improvement in the country,
AT 'rum Bennett House; in Union, a short
time since, two young couples made their ap
pearance, hailing from the direction of
Wattsburg. One of them proved to be a run
away couple, consisting of a school mistress
and one of her male pupils. Everything
went lively until the time for settling the
hotel bill arrived. When told that It was
410, the Ya:lngstrui looked . aghast, fum
bled in their pockets despairingly, lad Snail+
made a frank confaidon that_ they could not
possibly make a raise of mare than fri. Our
good natured friend Tabor (who;by the way,
is one of the bad landlords in the county)
kindly consented to reduce the amdunt, and
the party went on their way rejoicing, con
vinced probably that matrimony melees a
larger purse than single blessednats.
