The New York Evening Post, in
speaking of the defeat of the Demo-
CRITIC party in the city, says
1--WE have had the satisfaction 81
Iseeing a ticket, framed wholly Of men
protesting those great and salutary
principles Of equal rights and equal
laws which we have maintained 50
long through good report and evil re-
pot, selected and presented to the peo-
pie, welcomed with enthusiasm, and
Supported at the polls by more than
sis thousand votes. We have seen
our party purged Of those, who filled
it with contention, who seized mold Of
its organization, directed it to the fur
tterance Of their own selfish purposes,
bought scandal on the name of demo-
crat, and finally landed us in minor
it,. With party thus circumstance,
Just cleared Of its aristocratic incum-
b'ances, and starting anew in the ca
r.er of democratic principles, we have
dine well. We have formed nucle-
U. around which will soon gather the
minority. ?
In abiding to the exultation Of. the
Feleratists at their victory, itsays:
3There is a straining after effect that
'betarysS conscious weakness. They
know Tammany is unconquerable, and
that with majority Of wards in our
favor, the next Common Council is
within our grasp next spring, when
will commence revolution sweeping
away every yestige Of the unprincipled
and corrupt party now striving for
power.

PLAYING INDIAN The Boston At
las says, ever since the war-dance per-
formed by Keokuck and his chiefs on
the Common, the urchins of the city
have become wonderful adopts in Civ
ing effect to the warwhoop, and we can
hardly turn corner without being sa-
luted with the peculiar whirring yell
Of the Indian. A gentleman Of lively
Imagination, who was formerly attach
ed to a fur company in the West, and
who at one time was in imminent peril,
Of losing his scalp, tells US that as he
was promenading the other evening,
when all was quiet around him he was
suddenly startled by whoop, which
caused him to run nearly the whole
length of Washington street before he
discovered the groundless natures Of
his apprehensions. The Indian war
dance is getting to be quite favor
tie amusement with our school boys
and the Common, on Saturday after
noon, has witnessed the repetition OF
several scenes calculated to revive the
recollection Of that which we saw on
the occasion Of Keokuck's visit.

The discovery Of a new application
of water power, the results of which
promise 70 be Of an important charac-
Ter, has been made by teadesman Of
|Greenock, and is thus described in the
Greenock Advertiser:
Like all truly valuable discoveries,
it is distinguished alike for simplicity
and efficiency. It consists of cylin-
der and piston similar to those employ
led in a. steam-engine. To the cylin-
der there are two entrance and two dis
charge pipes, one Of each on either
side Of the stuffin box of the piston.
The same turn Of the cock that admits
the water into one part Of the cylinder
opens the discharge-pipe in the other,
and thus vacuum is formed. To work
this, advantage is taken Of the pressure
Of the Shaw's Water, the height ofthe
reservoir of which gives it, force Of
60lbs. to the inch in the lower part Of
the town. "A short time ago we wit
messed an experiment with d cylinder
two inches in diameter, worked with a
Jet of water of somewhat less than a
quarter Of an inch in diameter, and the
piston, although loaded with LIZ cwt.,
rose and fell l6 times in the minute.
In this case the entrance and discharge
pipes were equal in size, and the cylin-
der was placed in vertical position.
Since then the discoverer has hadanoth-
er model made with the cylinder laid
horizontally, and with the discharge
pipe nearly three times as large as the
entrance ones, and by this means the
motion was increased to 26 double
strokes in the minute. The cheapness
of an apparatus of this kind and its
efficacy, wherever there isa sufficient
height of water to work it, must be
obvious to all, while mansgeableness
and freedom from danger are no less
conspicuous.
The merit Of the discovery is due,
to Mr.. w. Alton, a mason in this town,
who first suggested this novel applica-
ton of a well known power to Mr..
Baird, engineer, and Mr.. A. Fairgrieye,
who have materially aided him in re-.
ducing ito practice Oneuse to which
Mr.. Allison conceivesit to be peculiar
ly applicable is the hosting Of heavy
goods into warehouses. The Shaw's
Water Company for FL a year, give a
supply Of water equal to 1000, gallons
per day. This water injected into a
cylinder ten inches in diameter, he cal
culates will raise to the second floor
800 tons per day, to the third floor
200 tons to the fourth $50, to the fifth
100 tons. The cost of the water for
each days work is about Sd. The
ODDS in question will be raised at the
fsVoD6f 80 feat per minute. These cal
culations have proceeded upon the
pressure on the water introduced into
the town for domestic purposes, but a
pipe from the Compensation Dam at
the Paper Mill, from its superiorheight,
would give pressure Of about 2ooibs.

ANIMAL MAGNETISM.

ANIMAL MAGNETISM.
Col. Stone, Of the New York Com
mercial, has become convert to the
Animal Magnetism humbug, and has
written book in its support. We are
surprised that man Of his abilities
should permit himself to become the
dupe of such gross and ridiculous
imposture; and we are still more as
tonished that at this enlightened peri
cd, it should become necessary to en-
ter into a serious argument to refute
and expose suah palpable imposition.
Yet this has also been done, by some-
body, in the form OF book OF two or
three hundred pages; and some Of our
brother editors are talking gravely of
making extracts from both to give
their readets an opportunity Of judg-
ling;between them! Surely, this is the
cage Of oddities let loose"
Those who pretend to practice this
Inecromatic art out to be tried by the
old code Of HBlue Laws" and we
know not what better could be done
with their converts, than to send them
to Bedlam.
The Col. must be a strong advocate
for science, without penetration suffi-
cicnt to detect imposition. We think
10. Smith might derive some benefit
from visit to the city, and featuring
to the converts Of Animal Magnetism,
and would, in all probability, enlist The
Commercial in his service. Such an
acquisition would soon be felt-with
an organ in the city Of New York, the
cause of Mormonism would spread
further, as the Col. is not the only one
easily to be humbugged.
A correspondent Of the Lowell Jour.
nal condemns the practice Of using sa-
leratus in cooking. This sale is made
by saturating any alkali in carbonic
acid gas-This gas it is well known. IS
deadly poison to the lungs, and hence
the Lowell writer infers that it is unfit
for cooking; but this by no means fol-
lows. Its operation upon the lungs, is
to cause strangulation, by closing the
passage to the lungs, where it exists as
a fluid, precisely the same as in drown
ing. Where room is only partially
filled with it, as for instance where
charcoal is burning without any pas
sage for the gas to escape, the destruc-
ton Of life is produced simply by the
consumption Of the oxygen Of the air.
We are not able to say whether pearl
ashes are any more wholesome or less
so by being made into saleratus. Our
impression is that it is not desirable ia
eat much alkali in any way, butt must
not be forgotten that it is only to neu.
|tralize acids that alkalies are used, by
which means the nature Of both are
Ichanged. It does not follow that car.
|bonic acid gas is poison to the stom
4 ach because it produces strangulation
! for water will do the same. 1t is til,
same gas which causes the foamin,
land sparkling in soda water, mead
\ champaigne, cider, beer, &c. Thes
are certainly the more palatable for i
4 liz not more wholesome.

PITTSBURGH AND OHIO BANKS.

Quite war seems TO be going on
between the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
Ohio Banks. 1t seems the balance OF
trade is in favor Of the first named
place, and her banks have accumulated
large amount of the notes of the o.
hio Banks, for these the Pittsburgh
Banks have demanded first their owl
notes or the notes Of Banks in the vi
cinity Of Pittsburgh, or exchanges or
the east at par or i per cent. The O.
hio Banks being unable to comply with
these requirements, the Pittsburgh
Banks demanded, either the specie or
a certificate bearing IL per cent irter-
est, which the charters of the Ohio
Banks compel them to pay when they
fail to pay specie on demand. This
last demand, the Ohio Banks likewise
refuse, and the Pittsburgh Banks
threaten to bring suits, and have given
instructions to this effect to their attorr
lney. The Cincinnatians think it quite
unkind on the part of their Pittsburgh
|neighbors to be thus harsh in their de-
mands; it may be so, but we cannot
say that we see much injustice in it
Some of their own banks have showl
that they know how to hold on to the
Hight end OF bargain quite as well as
their neighbors.- Mo. Rep.
