AN INTERESTING STORY

The Boston Palladium Of last Tues
day contains the following interesting
account of two robbers having been
beaten with bull dog.
In South Reading, on Tuesday eve.
ming last. about s o'closk. two robbers
entered Shomakcr's Shop aud stole
a bag OF shoes worth 40 or so dollars
and made off They hadnot proceed.
ed far before the bag was missed, when
young man, by The name Of Oliver
Swain mounted bis horse, and foil ow-
!, ed them, accompanied by his large
bull dog. He overlook them iu the
woods, dark and rainy, and hailed
them, upon which one fled, and the
other kept the road with his booty.
Mr.. Swain dismounted. and bravely
demanded the shoes. The Robbers
refused to give them up, and Mr.. 8
commanded his dog to attack him
The faithful animal soon stripped the
rogue of mostof his clothsand a portion
of his skin. The robbers finding that
Mr.. 8. was alone, hailed his comradc.
saying ''there is but one--eome on and
well fix him" He then seized Mr
s. and got him down, bot he was set
at liberty by his dog before the other
depredator appeared--and discovering
that he was in danger, he caught the
bago shoes, re -mountedhis horse, and
proceeded homewaras, while the dog
| acted as rear guard.
The next morning the scene of bat
lie was inspected, when there were
found most of the williams clothes IN
rags and stained with blood.

ANAfftt fbts-kffT. IOsfD0
Buchanan OF HopkinsvilIe, Kentucky.
has published the description of Won
deriul invention, in the National Intcni-
gencer Itisa steam engine, consisting
OF one capillary tube or more, arranged
as steam generator He calculates,
that his contrivance viii be. ia all cases.
100 times more powerful than the steam
generator, and in large engines, 600
times. he weight OF the furnace is to
DE deducted, as he uses none. He thinks
that It will supersede every species OF
unln'elligent power, for all purposes
whatsoever, even for the ploughing of
our helds. He eontemplaies its applica-
uon to flying through the air; and states,
that for his machine, in its fight, TO EN-
pioya fifty horse power, il need not
weigh more than so0 lbs The manner
in which he sums up its utility is aston
ishing. "Nhen the winds are not unfa-
vorablc, the citizens Of Washington may
attend dinner parties in Boston, and re-
turn home the same evening; the mail
can be carried in day from the seat of
government to the most distant part of
the Union; and our merchants nav visit
Europe, transact their business, and re-
turn home in week" III ell this is not
an illusion, what n wonderful mutation
will the concerns of mankind undergo.
through the means Of steam. BESIDES
its wonderful effect in civil lie, in chang
ing the prices of commodities, property
and labor, it will be apt to tear The scep-
tres from the hands of the Holy Alli-
ance, by changing the whole art Of war;
and, hereafter, that curse win abandon
the earth, and take its place in the air
We may congratulate ourselves, that
no time will be lost, after the theory shall
be verified, in despatching hundred Of
the Eagles, made shot proof and pro-
perry furnished, to drive all the French
out Of Spain, who shall be found alive;
and few hundred more to the assist
ance of the Greeks, in like manner.
An ingenious gentleman in our coun-
try, casting forward his anticipation Of

situated easterly as well as westwardly
of its range, spent much of his time in
drawing up the details of q republican
scheme of government for its use
Wonderful is the genius of that man,
whose mind could grasp so muchl But
| SO il was, his method of bringing toge-
Their the representatives of the people
from the North Pole, and Terra del Fu-
ego, to the ordinary sessions of Con-
gress, at the seat Of government, which
he had settled TO be at Porto Rico 10 the
West Indies, was rather lame. IL con
sisted of the conveyance by balloons,
which, as Citizen Genet's mode Of steer
ing them was not before the public, adj
mitted Of insuperable difficulties, though
not enough to dishearten the theorist.--
But these Kentucky Eagles are the We
ny desideratum, which completes the
arrangement for the government, when
ever it shall be ready to go into opera
tion.--PhiL U. S. GaS.

Mr.. Mercer presented letter and re-

were read.
Mr. Msrcsr made report from the
Committee, suggesting variety Of a
mendments, in the original resolutions.
Mr.. Kennedy, of Washington county,
moved the printing Of the resolutions
and amendment, but the motion was
lost.
An amen dnent, offered TO change the
name of the Canal from "Union,' TO
chesapeake and Ohio,n led 10 some
discussion, in which Mr. Lee called on
any gentleman from Kentucky or Ohio,
to give the sentiments of these states
respecting the Canal. In consequence
of this call, Messrs Trimble, of Ken
lucky, and MLane, of Chic, expressed
their views on the subject-detailing, at
length, the many advantages which their
respective states would derive from the
proposed Canal.
We cannot help here repeating, (says
Che National lntelligencer) the univer-
sal remark, that more respectable vo-
iuntary ass.mb!age of substantial citi-
zens, in pursuit of a grave purpose of
public utility, was perhaps scarcely ever
convened, in any country. The same
remark will apply to the talents as well
as to the personal character of those
who composed the Convention. Enough
of learning and eloquenca was display
ed in the Debates, to indicate how much
might have been commanded, had more
been necessary. No unholy passion,
no petty electioneering considerations,
were suffered TO intrude The proceed
ings were conducted with dignity, with
single eye to the public good, and have
Terminated in the adoption of measures
worthy Of the subject and of their au-
thors.
