SEVENTY MILI'S AN lIOUR.
I had spent night in a stage, n day in
the saddle, a night inn sleepin:z car, half
a day doing business, half a day in bed,
and was, atter supper, enjoying a cigar
and newliaper in the reading-room of the
_House, in I.' -, Indiana " The
paper was uninteresting, or elso 1 was
rather sleepy, and I guess it was a little
of hoth.,i so that I soon neglected it, to
watch the fantastic circling of the smoke
from my fine tl.icutcd prineipe. I didnt
feel much like talking, NA Ft.ill loss
like reading. hut I did feel ns if I would
like exceedingly well to hear a good
story.
Deputy,-
I had hardy conic to this conclusion,
and was wishing for sonic one of my ac
quaintances to ;muse me until the time
was up fur the train which was to take nie
tc C--, when I recognized in the per
son who sat next to we a traveler
in the sloping car of the night before
lie was a very agreeable looking little
man, with a clear gray eye, light hair,
sandy whiskers, and smiling mouth.
Indeed, he had so much the .appearance
of the man that L wool 1 . , like to heal tell'
a story that I thought Pame Fortune had
amiled upon me, when he ree.viized me
with ate row d',l4‘.i do, stranger r
ietnrtied iitiltitaitii;i4:iiiitt.aAed.
him some commonplace question about
how he enjoyed the ride we took togeth
er.
lie said.something in reply about the
running being too ta,t fur the poor track ;
!arid nom this the conver , ation run urpou
Kist travelling in general for SONIC time.
I at last remarked that sixty miles an
hour was the !mist speedy Ira% elliti!: that
I had ever done Where upon my friend
informed me, with a pleicant . but knowing
snide, that he had travelled etinsideiable
faster than abut, and iu. fact, taster than
he had ever heard ofhesides
Of course I was anxious to know where,
when, and how he hail (lobe it ; and after
the modest assurance that • he feared his
tale would not be fnteresting, my friend
relieved my anxiety by relating the hol
lowing story:
"1. ant , a railroad engineer, In '57,
during the great pa. ic, I was running on
the F. and U. if. It. The railroad cow
panics were growing tender in all direc
tions. Every day we heard of new fail
urea, and quite oltvil in a quarter where
we least expected it. Our road was
looked upon as one ache most substantial
'in the nation ; utlody seemed to have
any great fear that it would fail to survive
the general smash up. But yet 1 did
not fully share In die general confidence.
'ages Isere cut down ; arreara g es collec
ted : and a great many other•litile matters
scented to indicate to me that the road
had got into rather deeper water than .
was agreeable all round,. Among other
things, the maste:l:mechanie had told me
its the spring that the company had or
dered four first quality Tau on engines for
the tail passenger business. '1 he road
was put. in [lib very best condition, and
other preparations were made to cut down
the time, and put the trains through
quicker than was ever known before,
When 'the new engines should come.
Welly there was but one of the new en
gines came.
"I said there was but one engine came,
and she was in my opinion, altogether the
`best ever turned out at the Taunton works.
And this is as much as could be said in
praise of any engine. She was put is my
charge immediately, with, the understan
ding that she was-mine.
"It was Saturdity. when she came out
of the shop, and 1 was to take•a special

A Planta% TOE iannta
"Early in the evening I left the ma
chine in charge of toy fireman, and went
Over to an eating.honse to see if I could
not spend my time more pleasantly than
on my engine. The hours dragged them
selves away slowly I was taking a game
of dominoes wlth the stationagent, when
in same Roberts, the president, in a state
of great excitement.
"Harry" said he to me, 'I want you to
put me down to 0-- at twelve o'clock.'
"As it was then noar eleven o'clock.
and the distance was seventy-flue miles,
I thought he was joking at first; but
when we got outside the door he caught
me by the arm :Mil hurried me along so .
fast I saw he was in earnest.
"Harry,' said he, 'it' you don't 'set me
down in 0— by twelve o'clock, 1 am
l a ruined inun, and this road is a ruined
road. Aldrich is dead, but he told me
I before he died that he had embezzled,
!from time to time, fifty thousand dollars
of our money ; and his cleek is to start in
I the twelve &clot* bout front C— to
Canada - If we don't have that money on
Monday mottling to make some payments'
the road guesintu other hands; and
' if' you put me down in 0 at the right
!time, so that I can save the money, you
!shall have five thousand dollars. Under
!stand it, Harry Five thousand dollar t
''ol course I understood it. I sai
now the reason why the wage's had Ween
cut. down ; I understo o d it all and my
;blood boiled,- I felt that I could save the
'road ir 1 lived, and toll Roberts.,.
:•See that you do it, flurry,' he replied
as he climbed up the steps of the coach
which was coupled to my engine.
I"I sprang up into the foot-board, got
up the switch tender to help fireman,
open •d the (Motile, and just as she com
menced moving., looked at my watch.
It was just eleven o'clock, so that I had
just one hour to make my seventy-five
;miles in.
Frozu Y t.o C ' here were
few curves in the road, but there were
several hotly,- grades. I was perresnly
acquainted with every rod offs,so that, I
knew e.;liitly what L had to ens muter ;
'and when I saw how the engine was mov
ing, had very little fear of the result.
-The road the first f.w miles was
'an air line, and so smooth that nay erndne
flew along with scarcely a perceptible jar:
, I was so bnsv posting myself:up WI to the
- -
111nolint Or wood Ind water aboard, etc .
that we,danced by the first station almost,
before L was aware et' it, having bean five
!minute; out, and having five miles ee
-1 complished.
' You are losing time !' yelled:-a voice
from the coach. I looked .4
rid s and
there stood ItobergilikkhiS.ol,oo in his
hand. M•
lurve
to n i' - ea - 4 - 6 oui sliced by some means,
if we carrier] out our plans of reaching
C by midnight; and looked anx
iously around to see what I could du to
accomplish that purpose.. She as blow
ing off stem) at Due hundred and ten
pounds; ao I turned down the valve to
two hundred, for I knew she needed it all
to make some of the heavy grades which
lay b. , tlreell us and (I
"It was three Wiles to the next station.
With the exception of a tew curves, the
track: wIS as good -a; the last. :Ns we
darted around.. what e.nminonly seemed to
he a ling curve, at the : , .tation, but which
was, at our high speed, short enough, I
looked at my watch, arid we had done it
in two minutes and a half.
" Gaining l" I shouted back to Ro
berts, who was standing 'on the platform
outside of the coach. . .
" Look out for the heavy - grade," he
replied, and went itiside of the car.
„ The next six :miles rose gradually
from u level, the first to "ten and a halt
f ee t grade, the last, which lay between us
and the next station . 'My foreman kr.pt
her frill; and now she began to get hot.
The furnace door was - red, and the steam
rose continually, so that she kept her
speed, and passed the station like a streak
of lightning., it, live minutes.'
'' Now came nine miles like the past;
over which she kept pace with her time,
and passed the station in seven minutes;
flere, for ten miles, we had a"twenty
fdot, grade to encounter; hut• the worst of
it all was, at this place we should have to
stop for wood. I was just, going to speak
to Roberts about. it, when I looked around
and saw him filling the tender Irom the
coach, with wood whitill had been placed
there beforq starting, while he was gone
after we.
"I believe we would have mode the
ten miles at the same speed as before; but
througr the carelessness of Abe fireman
the fountain valve on the left, hand side of
the engine got open and the water rose in
the boiler, so far as to run the steam dowL
to one hundred pounds before I discover.
ed Where the difficulty lay.
"At first Roberts didn't appear to no
tice OM d.orease of speed, and kept at.
work at the wood as if for dear life - But
I presently he looked up, and sceing.that
the speed had flecreased., he shouted :
.".Ilarry, we are stopping!"
" And then, coming over to where I
was, he said.: .'
_ " Why, hereve have been ten minutes
or, the last ten miles, and I belieVe.-we
will collie to a de9d stand if something is
,not dope. The. speed is constantly slack
ening:''' What is the mutter?"
. .. .
"',t explained . die cause. Ito - was np:
pamtly swisfied with • the. eiplanation,
and after , having tied - down =the -'safety
valve, he climbed back over . the 'tender, exhorting me to put her thi•OUgh.for,gcid's
sake; or.wie are: all beggars together !"

Report of tiii;!, Seerbtary eftki
The report:of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, in a printed form, was issued last,.
week. It occupies twenty-two large pages,'
and it, is distinguished by

tions of the Treasury Departmentsinceit

The reports sets out by twill - ruling- the

tration of the public finances should---he
regulated with a view to insure the 'desi
rable results of efficiency, econom3r iiiid
-
and general prosperity, which the ,Slecre
tary set. forth in his report to Congress on
the 4th ay - of July last.. He then re-
fern to the estimates made by him at that
tune in order to raise the necessary means
to suppress the gigantic rebellion ; neton
foot by criminal conspiracy t , ainst the
government and the people of the United
States, which he placed at $3lB, 519,-
Congre=s made the necessary provision
to raise the sum required fur the object;
and the Secretary proceeds to give an ac
count of the - execution and practical Ivor.
talon of the measures adopted. The re
sult is shown in the following recapitula
tion :
There were paid to cred
itors, or exchanged for
coin at par, at different
dates in July and Au
gust, six per cent. two
years' notes to amount .
of $14,019,034 66
There was tiorrmted, at
par,in thcsame,menths, -
upon sixty days' six
per cent. notes, the sum
of 12,877,750 00

There was borrowed, on
on the ISt of- October,
upon like securities 50,000,000 00
There was borrowed, at
par, for seven percent.,
on the 10th of Novem
ber, upon twenty years'
six per cent, bonds: re
reduced to the equiva
lent of seven, including
interest. --- 45,755,478,48
There have been issued
and were in circulation
and on depos t with the
Treasurer, on the 30th
of November, of United
States notes, payable
on demand
Making an aggregate, real- •
ized from loans in vari
ous forms, of
.1.07.212,588 00
While success thus complete has so far
attended the measures relating to loans,
the Secretary regrets to say that the re
ceipts of revenue from duties have not,
ae yet, fulfilled the expectations indulged
in at the date of his July report. At the
date of his report, he estimated a revenue
from customs at 07,000 000, but., owing
to diminished duties on tea, cotreo and
sugar, the exemption of gouds in ware
house and on Eihipbaard, and the changed
circumstances of the country, which have
-proved unfavorable to foreign commerce,
he reduces this estimate to 832,198,6P
-55,', founded on the. actual receipts for the
first quarter ending; on - the 80th 'of Sep
tember, which were $7,108,002 . 55
Even with this reduction, though large,
the Secretary would not e compelled to
ask any additional power to negotiate
loans, had the appropriations and expen
dituree been confined to the estimates;
but these have been largely increased by
the, great number of, volunteers accepted
by the War Department, and further
prepriation will therefore
,become,neces
nary.
The Secretary, its suggestingmeasures
to provide these additional appropriations,
recommends rettenehinent and reform, ,
the prevention•of abuses, and renews" the
suggestion heretbforti - made - by Min, that:
the -property-of the-reb'els Should be made - ,
to pay, in part at least the'Cost of rebell

General Lane - having been serenaded at
SprMgfirld, no., liv an Indiana regiir, ent,
made orient his unique speeches in response,
Of the institution of slavery he says :
"Itit can survive the shock of war, let it
live: butt if between an upper and nether
mill s one it be gr..und to powder, and the
. winds drive it away , 'Nt , ..not, for me to gath
.PerTup-.llrei-driartrgi — 4l w 1 o propose to
make war up •n sta.,. r' but upon rebels,
and in the mean time to let slaves and sla
very take care of themselves.".
He closes as follows :
"It should be the business of Congress at
its coming session to pass a law directing the
President of the United States by proclama•
tion, to order the rebel States, within BO days
or 60. days, to lay down their arms and netttrrn
to their allegianc,; or in default thereof, -de
clare every slave free throtrghout their do
mains. Provision,. too should be made-for
settling the A frietins in Hayti, Central or
South America, - and let the race form a
nation of itself: Liberia has served a glo.ious
purpose in teaching the world chat . these
oppressed and wretched people are capable
of supporting themselves and of self govern.,
'new. I look upon the Republic of Liberia
as the bud---yes the full blown hope of the
wh de of Africa. I wish it every encourage
ment and success. But it is too many
thousand miles for us to transport four
million slaves. This fast age has not the
time and patience requisite to such a task.
But our own continent has room sufficient,
with soil, climate and production suitable for
the accommodation of this people, who in the
mysteries of Providence, aro thrown among
us. Transportation to the place named may
be made a practible realty. The good of
both races requites their separation. Ages
of oppression, ignorance and wrong, have
made the - African a being inferior in intellect
and social attainment.' to the Cauc sitar ;
' while together we shall always have low.,
cringing servility on the one hand,',' and
lordly domination on the other. It is better
for both that each enjoy the honors and
responsibilities of a . nationality of its own.
Iti such an event our common humanity
would make a vast stride towards perfection:
As such a proclamationmight have the effect
to liberate the slaves IS many loyal citizens,
I would cheerfully give mu consent to have
them p tid out of the. Natioual Treasury
for any loss they might sustain. Let us
dare to do right, trusting to the principle
that ri2ht makes might; and the Grew
Republic, once the wonder of the wot Id, wil,
emerge from those trouhles purer, wealthier
and stronger than ever."'

however, to be prepred for all eventuali

_Sixth,--Litne- and barn yard manure should
,not be mixed, in the barnyard, inasmuch as,
,the lime causego oo sudden decomposition, and
consequent loss of ammonia, which is driven
off by 'the lime to be received by the air. .
Again, on the subject of charcoal; he says:
Charcoal dust on braes, when dry,.fixes.the
I ammonia if scattered over stable cleanings,
and retains the vapors until required by the
plant. It renders the soil light and porous, -
and accessible to the atmosphere beneath the
surface, thereby giving to the plant the benefit
of the action of the atmosphere. When once
wet it will retain the water with great. tenaci
ty. keeping moist long after the surrounding
soil has been perfectly baked by the dry wea
ther, thus affording a constant and regular
supply of moisture to the plant.
Soil of a dark color, produced by a mixture
of charcoal, dust, must absorb heat more pow
erfully during the day, and - radiate morti pow
erfully at night, thereby producing a greater
deposit of dew, upon such, than upon the
souse quality of soil not acted upon by char
coal dust, Charcoal is a powerful promoter
of animal decoinpobition, and doubtless of
vegetable also, thus converting into a useful
state, portions of dead organic matter, that it.
may meet with in the soil. The saline ingre
dients of the wood which are still contained in
the charcoal, will in tile end be equally an
useful to the soil as if applied in any other
form, though requiring a much longer period
to decompose.
Plater of Paris and charcoal braes can be
combined without any diminution of the good
etrecls of either.
If the carcass of an animal is covered to the
extent of two or three feet above and below
with dry charcoal dust, the noxious adore will
be entirely absorbed, decomposition rendered
'exceedingly rapid, and the most valuable pro
ducts of the decomposition retained by the
charcoal. The charcoal should be kept dry
during the process of absorption.
Probably as good a compost as can be ap
plied, would be stable - manure, as taken each
morning from the stables, or even covered la
the stables with charcoal dust, which fixes the
ammonia, thereby making a mixture of char
coal and manure; or add in equal parts muck,
the cleaning of dams, scrapings of wood Tiles,
partially rotten leaves, that often clog the
fence corners, ete.
The greatest care should be taken to take
up the urine (particularly) as it contains
much more ammonia titan the solid. manure:

The splendid manner in which Capt. Dupont
managed this tine frigate, and her terrible
fire on the forts, deserve a special notice.
She was built at Philadelphia, aid carries the
most formidable battery of any ship afloat.
Her main broadside consists of 11 inch Dahl..
green shell guns, and on the upper deck are
incriOixhan guns. All of these guns fire
Hubbell's famous "Thunderbolt shells," and
in this action they have demonstrated heap.
propriateness of their name.
These shells are externally spherical, but
internally they are of a peculiar form, cans.
ing the metal-to be arranged in such a man:
uer that the - centre of gravity is determined
at a particular point, resulting in the great
eat accuracy of range. The fuse is of a se
cret construction, and on each box contain
ing the shell is a positive order not to exhibit
them to strangers. Their construction is not
known to the rebels,nithough they have been
in the United States•service for about four.
teen years. So care'ully are, they manufao.
cured by the Government, that no one man
is
.allowed to know all about them, The
rebels call them "Lincoln,s Bomb Shell."
They were inventedVm. B. Hubbell,
of this city, vim has a contract with the Gov- .
crnment for their use.
Each ()film Wabash's 11 inch guns fires
one of these thunderbolt shells weighing a.
bout *125 pounds, and capable of ranging be
tween
three and four miles. There is no con•
dition, sand, water or earth works, that will
suspend the terrible' action of these shells.
When once fired, they are the most acou•
rate and the most destructive of all the war
like
projectiles.
It iti n remarkable fact, that the Wabash
is a Pennsylvania built ship ; Dahlgren, the
inventor of her guns, is a Pennsylvanian,-
and Hubbell, the inventor of her shells, is
also a Pennsylvanian. The noble Old Key. : 40

she is doing her full share in maintaining the
