STEAM FIRE ENG1NE.-The Gold Nc
dal of the Mechanics Institute, awarded
by the Committee on Arts and Sciences,
was last week presented to Capt. }. Erlcs-
son. bv the Vice President ofthc Assocla-
ton, in presence Of a very full meeting.
The medal was awarded in pursuance OF a
resolution passed during the prevalence of
Iincendiarism last winter, for the best plan
of steam fire engine. The number of
plans originally submitted was five, one
of which was Withdrawn by the inventor,
leaving four for competition. The sue
cessful plan is that of all engine weighing
less than 9 Id tons, that with the lowest
estimated speed has power of l0s men,
and will throw 5000 lbs of water pei mi
mute to height of los feet, through noz-
zle of l-2 inches diameter. By increa-
sing the speed to the greatest limit easily
and safely attainablc, the quantity of wa
ter thrown may be much augmented.
The Vice President, in the necessary
absence of the PRECEDENT of the Associa-
ton, read a very neat and well written
address in rendering the medal. Capt.
Ericsson replied in short but pertinent
acknowledgment, and then in accordance
with the wish of the meeting, proceeded
to explain the drawing and to answer
such questions relative to it as were pro-
posed by members. The drawing itself
is one of the most beautiful and finished
specimens ofmcchanical drawing we ever
saw: and was of itself worth the medal.
The machine is the most simple in con-
struction ever modelled. The absence of
ally rotary motion relieves the necessity
of much Of the apparatus peculiar to
steam engines. The motion ofthc wheels
in going to a fire, communicates motion
to bellows which give an artificial draft;
so that in ten minutes from the time the
torch is applied to the fuel, the steam is
up, and the engine ready for work. We
have not space for details: and can only
add that we did not know whether to be
most pleased with the engine, the gentle
manly and accomplished inventor, or
with the Institute whose liberality called
out the plan. 1t remains now with some
of our Insurance Companies to order a
machine upon this plan.

MISCELLANEOUS.

CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS. -
When Caesar was advised by his friends
to BE- more cautious OF security of his
person, and not to walk among the peo-
pie without arms or any one to defend
him, he always replied to the admonitions,
"He that lives in fear of death every mo-
mcnt feels It's tortures-I will die but
oncc.'
Why, brave men-citizcns whose duty
it is to cultivate the arts of peace, should
60 habitually armed, making an arsenal
of their persons, has always appeared to
us an inscrutablc mystery-wc could
never divine it. We sec but two horns to
the diIemma-such a man momentarily
afraid of his own life, and his mind is
therefore ctcrnally on the rack. or, he bat
pants for an opportunity to act the assas-
sin, and therefore little better than fend
in human form, to be despised by the tru-
ly brave man and abhorred by the nan
governed by religious principles. 1t is
not characteristic Of brave nations to car
~ concealed weapons, nor is it, so far as
our observation has extended, indicative
of brave men. Concealed weapons are
the insignia ofa footpad, the burglar and
the mercenary braya,and by the man un-
conscious Of wrong and fearless of ,!angcr
they never should be worn.
The South is accounted chivarous, tru-
" chivalrous, and we'll has she earned that
proud distinction, Her sons never faul-
tered in the charge, nor rctrcatod before
the enemy, but were always first to do
battle for their rights-last to lay down
their arms while these rights We're with
held from them. Now thequcstIon South
orns should ask themselves is, "VVlll the
habit Of necessarily carrying concealed
weapons preserve to us that brave and
chvalrous charactcrwhich we have gained
in many a we'll fought field; or rather, is it
not calculated to sink US d own to the lc-
vel of Spanish brigands or piratica assas-
sins!" TO this last interrogatory the
breast of every American must beat re-
sponsivC yes. We do hope to see the
time when every man who carries con-
icealed weapons will be looked upon in
the degraded light of a loafer, or worse
we wish to sec the potential voice of the
public opinion frown the system down, for
sit is more honorcd in the breach than in
tic Ot1scrvance:", AND With Cesar W., be-
lievc that she who lives IN tear OF dcath
every moment feels its torturcs."

ION, while l with the other half, under
t ook to rouse up the Indians in the swamp.
They were not hard to rouse up; for I'e-
cumseh, a man transcendantIy superior to
Proctor, ,inpoint ofreaI bravery, as Hyperion
% a satyr, had determined to make that
his best and most conclusive battle ground.
We met them and fought thcpr and,
when they learned Proctnr's British re-
gulars had been demolished by my brother
James, they began to retire. At this mo-
ment my body had been perforated by five
bullets, and my horse could only be kept
on his legs by the greatest exertions of
my bride hand. In endeavoring to make
him leap over a log in the swamp, he fell
and died, with two more balls in his car
case than were inmy own. A tall, good
looking Indian approached me with his
tomahawk ready for throw. My horse
lay in a position that did not permit me to
be exactly dismounted. | pulled out a
loaded pistol from my holsters, and shot
him. They say it was Tecumseh. Icare
not, and | know not: | would have shot
the best Indian that ever breathed under
such circumstances, without inquiring his
name, or asking the age of his children"
The uomen of the Reuolmion.-Thc
following is an extract from letter writ
ten by lady of high rank and accom-
plislments, residing in Philadelphia, to
a British officer living in Boston. 1t was
sent to him soon after the battle of Bun
ker Hill, and circulated at that time
throughout the colonies, inthe Revolution
ary newspapers, from which the extract
is capitalization Morning Post.
