From the Baltimore American.

The experiment of the transportation or tzvo hundred ba1yels of flour, with 8iHSfe horse. was made on the Rail Road on oatur- day with the most triumphant success The flour was deposited in a train Of eight cars, and made together with the cars and the pas sengers who rode on them, an entire load of thirty tons, viz: 200 barrels of flour, 20 tons; 8 cars, tons; Passengers, tons; making in all 80 tons. The train was drawn by one horse from Elcotts' Mills to the relay-housc, six and half miles, in fofty-six minutes.-
 The horse was then changed, and the tram having again set out, reached the Depot on Pratt street in siXty-ninc minutes; thus ac- complishing the thirteen miles in one hour and ffty-fye minutes, or at.the rate of six and three fourths of mile in an hour. The road between the relay-house and the Depot IS
 wac. .tl, o. th~ea dren eXCa- twenty y-fect per mile has been resorted to fol the purpose of drainage. The horse, except at the points just alluded to, brought the train along at a moderate trot, and apparently with out any extraordinary labor; he is not remark able, and was not selected for any peculiar power of draft, and had performed a regular trip outwards on the morning of Saturday, A numerous concoursc of citizens and stran- gers witnessed the arrival of the train at the Depot, and although they looked for the ac- Complshment of the experiment as matter of course, many of them were, nevertheless, unable to refain from loudly testifying their admiration at the case and celerity with which it was effected It is, we believe, only about week ago that we noticed the fact of the transportation of seventy-fve barrels of flour, by one horse, as a circumstance worthy of re- mark in comparison with the number of horses required for the conveyance of a load of few barrels over turnpike road. The experiment which we have detailed abuve shows, that on Saturday single horse drew three times as large aload; and there is no doubt that horses could be found who could with the same case transport a load of three hundred barrels. And if such results as these can be accomplished by the power of single horse, who will undertake to calculate the Ca pacity of our Rail Road, either for heavy transportation or great rapidity, or both com bned, when locomotive engines of the most improved construction constitute the moving power?

permit themselves to be distracted, divided and conquered, by little .teuds and the wiles of our enemies. The people have principles in view, which they deem of the utmost i'm portance. The opposition party take sides with the disa6ected, until they make an ire parable breach, through which they expect to enter in triumph, with all their forces, sack the city, and storm and overthrow the citadel of our liberty, our Union-the Constitution itself. This is their design; but republicans, I trust, are already aroused from their slum- bers; they will not sleep while the enemysls before us.

The kiln may be thirty courses high, and closed up with brick bats on the outside, and daubed in the usual manner.

MT Carter is a perfectly Hractieat Man, has his knowl- edge from experience, and what he says may be confidently relied on. He burns bricks here, as do all the brick-makers, with coal, very small portion only of what are used here are burnt with wood, and that portion is stock bricks for fronts. The coal burnt bricks are considered the best, though the color is not quite so good as that of the wood burnt If the business is to be commenced anew, the following dimensions and arrangements may be observed:
 The kiln 25 feet deep, pillars nine inches, or one brick thick, and four courses high the eye, one brick wide, and to be closed by two bricks meeting in the middle, butted to- gether; the drills to receive the coal are formed by laying three stretchers along or upon the eye thus closed, and the space be- tween to be filled with coarse coal-then a heading across this with finger room between; then lay four strctchers the other way, and fill the space with fine coal ,--on the outside course all round, must be left space of three

The work is one admirably calculated 10 aid very large proportion of fellow-citizens, who have little means to buy libraries and less time to read them that we feel warranted in asking par tcular attention 10 the publication. and again to ex- press hope that, in the spirit manifested in the va rous parts of our State by young mechanics farmers and others, to improve themselves by reading rooms and small libraries; this valuable instructor will not be overlooked.

Some Galvanic experiments were to be made, and large dog being selected for the pur- pose, he executed fifteen minutes before the lec- ture commenced. It being necessary to expose muscles to the action of the battery, the dogs tail was then cut off. At the first application of the Galvanic power, poor Tray, who had been stunned by the blows he had received from the cutioner, reused himself, and, with jump and growl, seized the first in his way by the calf of the leg and then in spite of canes and umbrellas, he spatterng blood profusely upon every body, to the door which the scientific company were very glad to open for his escape,

 Dear Sir--Your former fellow-stndents of the University, desirous of offering you some token of their love and esteem, have directed us, to solicit you to partake with them, of a public dinner on some day previous to your departure to the South. In giving you this small proof of their affection, the students are aware that opportunities but rarely occur ot honorine one so young and at the same time so meritorious; one, who, during the period of , years of college life, has never made an :, enemy-but on the cQp{E9Ty hib has came nfnc', with in the circle of his acquaintance.
 We hope your arrangements will en.ble you to comply with this request of you fel- iow-students, and thereby afford them .n op- portunity on the eve of separation, ininter- changing the feelings offriendship which they have ever cherished.
