Draining .nachiae.-Y csterday, about one o'clock, an experiment made with the new hydraulic ma chine, constructed from the plans and under the direc ton of Mr. Comman, engineer of the draining compa- ny, Tn presence of numerous assemblage of public officers and other persons, anxious to witness the cess of an enterprise so important to this city.
 Ihls machine consists of wheel of cast iron furn ished with wide wooden paddles, working in floating bridge, feet wide by Is in length, which receives the from the draining canals, and raises Ii to height varying from two 10 feet, according the height of the Bayou St John, and throws it into reservoir connected with the canal of the navigation company.
 The wheel, worked by steam engine ofthree horse power, and performing very regular manner, moves with rapdity proportioned to the of water which it aises and is adjusted that is ittie retarded much does lhe inclination given to the paddles favor the throwing out of the water. The great quantity of water thus thrown out, amounting to about one million of gallons per hour, raised the most pleasing asonish ment in the minds of the spectators. The machine has completely accomplished the object of the eng- neer The visible falling of the draInng canal during the time the experiment lasted, left no doubt as to the result, should il be worked with activity. It is real victory of art nature, in soil which seemed to leave alternative but desoaton to part of the city which hereafter will proceed with rapidty in the career of improvement. It is from the experiment of yeser- day. that the draining company may date the period of its success

 The satGe paper adds: .Dsguse Ii as we may at tempt do from ourselves, these manifestations ought to inspire the jusest orebodng and apprehensions. The danger cannot be estimated too highly, guard- ed against too promptly and viganty. It is evident the day that the perseverance of the abotonsts in their schemes, MUST, sooner or later, dissolve the Union. Enlightened opinion at the North is as well satisfied of the facts at the South; yet find the Northern Legislatures doing nothing to arrest the mis- chief. Why Because they do not sec na Because they not willing to do what the South asks of them! Assuredly no. The true cause of their inaction is, that they dare not do that which alone remedy the evil.
