In conclusion, the learned professor regretted that he
could not propose his son (professor of natural philosophy in
the university of Dorpat) to conduct this expedition, as he
was then labouring under a severe and dangerous illness.
The latter, it is well known, made an accurate survey of
Ararat a short time before the last catastrophe, and is per-

LIFE AND DEATH OF AN INDIAN CHIEF

(Abridyed from the New York Journal of Commerce.)
Died, at Tuscarera village, Oct. 29, 1840, Nichola Cusick,
aged 82 years 4 months and 17 days, long a principal chief of
the Tuscarora Indians. Nicholas Cusick was born at the
Oneida Reservation, June 15, 1756. His father was an Eng-
lish merchant, of a very wealthy and respectable family. At
the age of ten years he was placed at school in Johnstown,
under the patronage of Sir W. Johnson, where he remained
several years, and then returned to his own people. At the
commencement of the revolutionary war, the British govern-
ment were very anxious to secure his services in favour of
the Crown, and through the medium of a distinguished
officer, proposed to him a commission in the army, with a
large salary, but he utterly refused the officers, saying, " I
will not fight against my own soil, but I will be a defender of
my country." Shortly after this, the agent of the Provincial
Government held a council with the friendly Oneida Indians,
and Nicholas Cusick offered himself as a volunteer, and as
such enlisted in the army under General Washington. He
soon received a lieutenant's commission, and joined the army
with about 50 Tuscarora warriors, whom he had induced to
espouse the cause of American independence. Ile continued
in active service about five years, and from his knowledge of
the English and Indian languages he was of essential service
in matters regarding the Indians. He was in several engage-
ments under Generals Washington and La Fayette. On
many occasions he appears to have rendered important ser-
vice to the Americans, when acting with his warriors as a
scouting party. One of these deserves to be particularly
mentioned. At a time when General La Fayette was en-
camped op the Delaware river, near the city of Philadelphia,
he had designed to join battle with the British. He ac-
cordingly drew up his army in order for battle; but Cusick
went before him with his warriors, as spies, and finally came
so close to the British dragoons, that he very narrowly es-
caped from their hands. He, however, ascertained that the
British army was more than 6,000 strong, which fact he com-
municated to General La Fayette, who, in view of his army,
which numbered but about 3,000, prudently resolved not
,to encounter the British, but retreated and joined the
main army under General Washington ; thus Cusick instru-
mentally saved the army from probable destruction and defeat.
At the close of the war a pension of 30,000 dols. was granted
to him by the United. States government, which he has re-
ceived until the present time. Shortly after the restoration
of peace, he was appointed by the Six Nations principal chief
of the Tuscaroras, and during the time be held that office he
was ever regarded as faithful in using his endeavours for the
good of his people, and of the United States. When the late
war was declared, immediately on the receipt of the intelli-
gence, at the head of a large number of his tribe, he went
forth and volunteered his services in defence of his country.
These services were accepted, and he, with two of his sons,
had the honour of fighting by the side of Generals Brown,
Scott, and Porter, at the battles of Chipewa and Lundy's
Lane. For the gallantry of himself and tribe, the British
soldiery and the Indians in the British service, ile they had
possession of Fort Niagara, at the mouth of Niagara river,
paid their village, which was 12 miles distance, a visit, and
burnt their houses and laid their fields waste ; and it was not
until the close of the war that they were permitted to return
in quiet to their homes. With Cusick lies buried a fund of
knowledge of the history of the different tribes of Indians
inhabiting that section of country for the last century. It is
to be lamented that the knowledge which he possessed has
not been embodied in some work and preserved for posterity.
In one century more the Red Men will be spoken of as a race
of beings who once inhabited that portion of the country, but
of whom scarcely a vestige will remain to mark the places of
their former abode. Of this Cusick had a lively sense, and
it was to him a most melancholy thought, that in a feiv years
more, not one of all the powerful tribes of his race who once
inhabited this vast country, from the frozen regions of the
north to the Gulf of Mexico, would be found to claim enough
of the soil to serve as a resting-place for the dead. In stature
he was about 6 feet 1 inch, with well-proportioned limbs.
His features were of the Indian character, strongly marked,
with an open, engaging countenance.
It is over 50 years since he professed to be a Christian,
and at that time united with a congregational church in
Oneida country. He was subsequently appointed an inter-
preter among the Six Nations, by the MissiOnary Society
then existing, in which different denominations were united.
In this capacity he travelled with a number of missionaries,
to whom he was strongly attached. His interpretations were
ever regarded as very faithful, and were highly useful to the
Indians. He resigned his office about ten years since,
owing chiefly to his advanced age and infirmities. He offered
himself as a member of Tuscarora Baptist church, in May,
1838, and, on being received, was baptised by his son Elder
James Cusick.

Tuscarora village, where a great part of the life of the
chief was spent, is situate on the brow of what now bears
the name of Lowistown-mountain. It is the northern ter-
mination of that vast strata of lime-rock which underlays
the face of the country several hundred miles in extent east
and west, and reaches south to the spires of the Alleghany
mountains. The tribe now numbers about 280 persons, and
is always decreasing. His son, named James, has studied
divinity, and supplies the place of former missionaries.

PROMOTION IN THE NAVY.—As friends of the navy, we
cannot but rejoice in the recent liberal promotion of officer,
engaged in the Syrian campaign—a promotion exceeding, if
we remember aright, those of the battles of the Nile and Tra-
falgar. Whilst we rejoice in their good fortune, however, we
must say, that we do not like the system which makes the re-
ward of officers depend on accidental circumstances rather
than their own exertions. Beside, if such a flow of honours
is to be lavished on one arm of the service, surely another,
equally zealous and active on the occasion, ought to share
them.—United Service Gazette.

.SELF-ACTING RAILWAY SIGNALS.-Mr. Rotch, the fore-
man of the coroner's jury at the recent inquest at Harrow,
in a letter to the Railway Times, proposes the following ex-
pedient, by way of giving a signal of danger to the engine-
drivers, which would warn them most effectually whatever
was the state of the weather. Its principal defect is, that it
would not apply to cases of danger previously known, and
would afford no protection against sudden obstructions on
the road :—I propose to have the distance posts (which on
all railways I have observed occur every quarter of a mile)
gauged to a fixed distance from the rail; and on to this post
I propose to drive two staples one above the other; into
these staples, thus forming a socket, I set a small gibbet at
the place it horizontal to give warning to the driver to stop.
The upper arm of this gibbet projects over the
rails, on a level with the handle of the whistle, which should
be placed a little to one side of the dome of the boiler for that
purpose, and as the engine passes that place, the gibbet
striking against the handle opens the whistle, and having per-
formed this operation is instantly struck out of the way of
the following carriages by a short fixed stay or rod screwed
or riveted on to the dome, just behind the whistle handle,
but a little to one side of it. One of those gibbets which
fold up acd are therefore quite portable, should be taken by
each guard, and one kept at each station-house, and at what-
ever part of the line it is required that the engineer should
have warning to stop, it is only to take the gibbet to the
quarter mile-post next beyond that post and stick it in its
socket, when the engine will be warned in a manner that
must be heard and cannot be mistaken. Again, if the hinder
part of a luggage train break off in the night (a very common
occurrence) the guard is exposed to having the part of the
train he is left with (for he sits always in the last carriage)
run into by the next coming train ; but if he at once takes
his gibbet and goes back to the next quarter mile-post, and
sticks it up, the warning to the next train he is in danger
from will be inevitable, and no collision need take place.

'WALSALL ELP:CTIONe,- are. happy to announce that
iva have received from a gentleman who arrived in IVlanehes,
ter from Walsall on Tuesday evening, and who, with t vn-y
opportunity for inquiry, had taken pains to 'ascertain the ac-
tual prospects of the candidates, that Mr. Gladstone is sure
of success. That gentleman is a guest of Mr. Foster, the
former representative of the borough, by whom he was in-
troduced to the electors some months since. Mr. Foster has
not only the local influence arising from his former connec-
tion with the borough, but also that of a wealthy, local
banker in the highest credit. At the moment when Mr.
Finch's retirement was announced, Mr. Gladstone was on a
visit to his father-in-law, Sir Robert Bateson, at Belvoir
park, near Belfast. He lost no time, however, in -repairing
to the field'of action ; and the whig candidate, Mr. Lyttle-'
ton, is already reduced to despair. Mr. Gladstone is the
elder brother of the hon. member for Newark. His oppo-
nent is the brother of Lord Lyttleton.—Manehester Chry-
nick.

COMMODORE NAPIER.-A correspondent in Syria writes
us an amusing account of Commodore Napier. " Imagine
(says our correspondent) our old friend the commodore, his
visage umbrellaed with a straw hat with flapping brims of
immense dimensions, divested of his coat, and mounted on a
jackass, with his shirt sleeves turned up as if for the purpose
of slaughtering a pig, cantering at the head of a marine oat-
talion, as its commander, and wonder, if you can, that his
own bluejackets have fixed upon him the sobriquet of ' Mad
Charley.' And imagine, if you can, all this, and a body of
military men led on by such a commander, instead of one of
its own gallant and oft-tried senior officers." The thing is
certainly beyond the stretch of any ordinary conception, but
we are told that it occurred, nevertheless.—United Service
Gazette.

DOCTOR bOUCHERET'SMODE OF SATURATING WOOD

Having in our last number explained Doctor Boucheret's
mode of operating, we now proceed to give some examples of
its application: If, for instance, he wishes to increase the
hardness and durability of the wood, and prevent dry or wet-
rot, he introduces coarse pyrolignite of iron. This is a cheap
substance, as coarse pyroligneous acid is produced in abun-
dance in the charcoal works, and may he converted into py-
rolignite of iron by putting it in simple contact With iron.
This substance also contains a quantity of creosote, which
also hardens the wood, acts • as an antiseptic, and resists
insects. To diminish the expansion and contraction of tim-
ber, and at the same time to preserve its suppleness and make
it less combustible, earthy chlorurets are used as a cheap pre-
paration. The mother water•of salt marshes has been used
for that purpose with success. By employing coloring mix-
tures, different shades can be given to the color in almost
every variety. Pyrolignite of iron produces a brown tinge,
and tannin addeato this produces an inky color, blue, black,
or grey. By using first pyrolignite of iron, and then prussi-
ate of potash, Prussian blue is produced. Acetate of lead
and chromate of potash in succession, make a chrome yellow.
Variegated shades of blue, green, yellow, and brown may be
made by the successive introduction of pyrolignite of iron,
prussiate of potash, acetate of leadi and chromate of potash.

ETCHING ON GILDED COPPER PLATES.—We noticed in
a former number, a suggestion made in the Faaal, Brussels
paper, for the application of the new process of gilding cop-
per by galvanic electricity, to the purposes of etching. This
has since been carried into successful operation, as appears
by the following extract of a letter :from Professor de la Rive
to M. Dumas, which was read at the meeting of the French
Academy of Sciences, on the 14th inst. :—An *engraver, M.
Hammann has just made a successful applicatioh of any pro-
cess of gilding to etching. Instead of covering the copper-
plate intended for the etching with wax, he covered it with
gold; he then traced the outlines of his drawing on the sur-
face of this plate, uncovering the film of gold from ev-
place over which his tracer pasmed. He then pours
aquafortis, which adhered to and corroded the copper in
every part Where it was eliposeci. I send you a specimen of
an engraving executed by this process. This process appears
Fn r.necoc¢ ctirtiv sitivAntAgeS over the ordinary method. In

ed on the

the first place, the coating of gold being permanent, the
plate can be corrected should :here be any defects found in
the first " biting in" of the plate. In the common process,
when the wax is once remove!, it becomes very difficult to
make any corrections. Further; the lines which can be
traced on the coating of gold ate much finer and more sharp
than it is possible to make then on wax ; this is a great ad-
vantage. It appears that thegilding with mercury for this
purpose, besides its being mich more expensive, does not
possess the same advantages,, aid cannot be so easily applied
for this purpose.—lnventor's Advocate.
SIR GEORGE CAYLEY'S AIR ENGINE.—The following
description of a new engine to be propelled by heated air,
the invention of Sir George Cayley, is given in the Polytech-
nic Journal :—Both in England and France many unsuccess-
ful attempts have been made to convert air into a Motive
power; Sir George Cayley his at length succeeded. The
public will have an opportunty of judging for themselves
of the value of this discovery! so soon as a locomotive car-
riage, now in progress of manufacture, can be got ready.
We should have postponed tie hasty description we annex
until the engine was publicly et work, were we not desirous
of disconnecting the late stean-carriage accident in Sloane-
street, with the invention in i4Uestion, with which it has
nothing in the world to do. Air is the motive power of the
new engine—steam was the motive power of the carriage
which met with the accident. The principle of the new en-
gine is easily explained—the details 'we .reserve for another
occasion. Air is compressed by the pump into a receiver,
to be used when wanted. Motion is communicated to the
wheels by pistons acted upon by the air, which is rarefied
by heat in its passage from the receiver to the cylinders, where
it acts upon the piston rod much in the same way that steam
does. Thus, to communicate motion to a piston, a portion
of the air in the receiver is forced by compression into
tubes subjected to heat, and from. thence, in its rarefied
state, it rushes to the cylinders as the only place of escape.
Motion is accordingly produced. An experimental engine,
upon this plan, was exhibited last year to Messrs. Babbage,
Rennie, Gordon, Bramah, Renton, and others. It worked
with great steadiness at rather above a. five-horse power.
The power, which was under perfect control, was capable of
immediate increase or decrease, the expense of fuel following
exactly the same ratio as the power, which is one of the pe-
culiarities of this engine. If it were stopped for.a minute,
or any number of minutes, or for half an hour, no loss of
fuel took place ; that is to say, no loss takes place while the
engine stands idle. No water is required—a serious consi-
deration ; and the consumption of coke is only from four to
five pounds weight per horse power per mile. • This experi-
mental engine, though perfect as to power, was found incon-
venient, in consequence of some of the dust from the coke
getting into the working cylinders, which caused them to
require more lubrication than was convenient for practical
purposes.. The engine. now budding is constructed upon a
plan to do away with this which appears to be the only
remaining impediment. to be overcome. The air-engine, by
obviating the necessity or carrying water, and by obtaining
the full power from combustion in the most economical
manner, bids fair to be applicable on many occasions where
the steam-engine is inconvenient, and to vie with it in power.
