ADVANTAGES OF STEAM IN NAVAL WAR
FARE

We have thought that it might be ac-
ceptabIe to some of our readers to have an
opportunity of comparing Napoleon's I'M
successful enterprise against St. Jean d
Acre with the late brilliant exploit of Ad-
mira Stopford, and we have therefore else.
where copied the account of the seige in
1899, from Walter SCOTS life oftho ex-em-
peror. 1t will be seen that the greatest
General Of his age and country besiegcd
the fortress for fifty-two days, with an ar
my Of 10000 Of the best troops in France
and failed, while an English feet, certain
Iy not carrying anything like the same
number Of mon, carried the place after
cannonade Of few hours. Claiming all
the superiority for Englishmcn, that the
most inveterate patriot can demand, still
this contrast is too violent to be accounted
for by any difference the military quail
ties Of Europeans. We must look for an
explanation to the mode and means Of at
tack. We need not look long. The ma
val attack brought to bear broadside, or
a number of broads1es, amounting to be-
tween four hundred and five hundred guns
whereas TIE battering train Of Napoleon
did not exceed thirty, and how different are
the circumstances under which now n ship
brings her broadside to bear, from! the cir
cumstanccs of land batteries.
The ship may continue or discontinue
the fight at pleasure, and may in q moment
change her position, TO cvade any inter-
posed obstacle. or take advantage of any
favorable contingency: the land battery is
a Grture, the permanent mark for retail
iatory attack. Nearly 300 years ago the
illustrious Blake discovered, and Cat Tu
MISC proved the advantage in this respect
Of naval warfare even with sailing vessels;
but it was left TO the use Of steam naviga-
ton to render the necessary success of ma
val warfare complete. The only serious
danger that ever presented itself in the case
Of an attack upon a maritime fortress by
an adequate naval force, namely the dam
ger of being unable to withdraw from the
land, is now at an end; and the easy re-
duction Of all the Syrian (ortrcsses in sue
cession demonstrates, no city or fort on
sea, how strongly however it may be for
tilted, can count upon resisting British
fleet for twenty-four hours, consequently
no coast is inaccessible to q British militia
ry descent, Ne may be said TO be on the
confines of every maritime nation for all
purposes Of attack, though happily our
selves unassaiablc; and therefore, what
ever nation having a sea-coast shall make
war upon US, must line that coast from end
TO end with troops, or calculate upon hav-
ing the war upon its own soil, and in a
SnOt chosen nj our discretion Such nre
the immense advantages which the new
fered upon US, to keep them as long as we
shall be able to maintain our naval ascen-
dency.

Suicide Of a Husband and WJe.-About
two O'Clock yesterday afternoon, a man
named Daniel Hogan, who resided in the
attic story of the house No. l9l Mulberry
street, had some quarrel with his wife, in
consequence Of which he went into the
front room and took musket loaded with
ball, and place il in such position as to
enable him to fire The contents of it into
his left side. The ball which i, contained,
passed up through his heart, through his
lungs and head, and killed him nstaneous-
ly. On hearing the noise, his wife rushed in
TO the room,and the appalling sight presen-
ted itself so affected her that she instantly
swallowed large dose Of bed bug poison.
The other inmates Of the house were by
this time alarmed, and on disc overing whet
had occurred, medical assistance was inn
mediately procured for the woman, but it
availed her nothing. After lingering for
a few hours in extreme agony, she also
died. The man was about ID years of
age, and the woman, who was his second
wife, was about thirty. Her maiden name
was Honora Hayes. They were both ma
tves Of Ireland. The Coroner yesterday
evening held an inquest on their bodies, and
the jury returned verdict of suicide.

Hints to Mechanics.-When you ore
obliged to obtain credit for your stock, be
kerry careful whom you apply, as a credi-
tor who is himself lie the screw may
ruin you. Never get credit for small sums
nor for any sum in different places
better owe what you are obliged to n: one
place, or to one man. Every man to whom
you owe five dollars, will trouble you as
much, if not more than one TO whom you
owe a hundred. 1t is easier to satisfy one
man than twenty. Give to your best GUS
toners only short credits; and when ii has
expired, collect promptly. BE diligent in
your business--iaithful to your work, mo-
derate in your observation-disclosures in
your habts-just in your dealings-mod-
crate in your principles-get married to a
good girl, and you may defy lawyers, duns
she riffs, prisons, and the blue devils.

American Mechanics. 1t is stated in
the New York Herald that a company in
Trieste, Austria, has despatched an agent
to this country 10 buy the entire machine
ry OF a Touring mill to take it over to TIT
este. Some shipments of wheat having
been made to the United States from Au-
strla in l836,-'37, it was ascertained by
those who sent it, that when it was ground
up in this country, better flour and more
in quantity was produced than could be
obtained from the same quantity of wheat
in Austria. The knowledge of this fact
caused the mission Of special agent for
the purpose above named. The Herald
adds:
This movement is but the first Of a
series towards an extensive business 10 be
done by the United States in the manufac-
ture oil mills and machinery for European
nations. Already has this countrys sent
out to France, England, Russia, Turkey,
Austria and European countries, frigates,
steam ships, sailing vessels, of all kinds,
locomotives, steam engine, cotton gins,
printing presses, mill machines, and all
kinds of Improvements in every descrip-
ton of machinery, and Mr.. Cochran has
supplied the Pacha of Egypt with guns to
carry on the war against the allied powers.
We have steam frigatcs on the dock for
Spain, one for Russia in our waters, prin-
ting presses for the continent of Europe,
just finishing at Hoe ss;foundry; many
chambered cannon just finished for the
Pacha by Cochran; riflessand guns of all
kinds on the way to France, American
cotton gins just finished, and put up by an
American in Manchester; and in fact all
sorts of machinery making, end 10 be made
for the old world, by the enterprising in
dustrous. and ingenious artisans Of the
new world"

VISIT TO TIE UNITED STATES MINT n. o.

VISIT TO TIE UNITED STA rs MINI =. y.
On the invitation Of a gentleman conect-
ed with the mint, we on Thursday, visited
that establishment, and were highly pleased
with all we witnessed. The high state of
mechanics, which the complex machinery
favc evidence, of the extreme cleanliness
Of the building, add the well-arranged or
der with which the process of coming is
carried on is truly admirable. There are
at present some twenty-five men employed
there, every one noisle5sly fulfilling his pro-
vince.
In the melting department there are six
furnaces-two of them were on Thursday
in operation. The men employed in this
department wear large stuffed gloves on
their hands, resembling boxing G Cloves

for it: third man lastcns up the mould,
opened by No. ,, and places il into posi-
ton 10 be ready to receive an ingot IN the
proper time. Doct. Riddle, presides over
this department, and it is said he has in
troduced into it many beneficial reforms.
The ingots are next assayed and then ia
ken TO the rolling room; here they are a
gain placed in furnace, where n certain
heat is infused into them preparatory 10
their being rolled. The rolling is perfor
med by the application of machinery, and
consists in rolling out the ingots, whether
silver, or gold, 10 q consistency OF re-
quired breadth and thickness, resembling
in shape iron hogshead hoops. These are
next conveyed to the adjusting room, where
they are adjusted, so that when cut out in
circular pieces for eagles, and halt eagles,
half dollars, quarters, dimes, or half dimes
they will be found of proper weight This
being done, these silver or gold slabs are,
bv other machinery, cut into exact circu-
lar sizes Of the designed coins. They are
next brought to the mill where the edges
are raised on them. This mill is another
evidence Of the perfection of machinery
The round pelces are put into kind OF

RELIGION OF THE ABORIGINEs.

Mr.. Bancroft, in the third volume Of his
history, just published, has the following
beautiful account Of the religion Of the Alb,
origines:
They believed that some powerful ge-
MUS created the world, that unknown agen-
cies made the heavens above and the earth
on which they dwelt The god of the sa-
wage, was what the metaphysician endea-
vors to express by the word substance
The red man, unaccustomed TO general
cation, obtained no conception of an abso-
lutte substance, Of seIf-eXisient being, but
saw divinity in every power. Where
ever there was being, motion, or action,
there, to him was spirit, and in special
manner, wherever there appeared singular
excellence among beasts or birds, OF in the
creation, there to him was the presence of
divinity. When he feels his pulse throb,
or his heart beat. he knows that it is a spi
rit. A god resides in the flint, to give
forth the kinding, cheering fire, in the
mountain cIiE,, in the cool recesses of the
grot,os, which nature has adorned; in ev
cry "Iittle grass" that springs miracu-
lousy from the earth. Z" The woods, the
wiIds, and tho waters, respond TO savage
intelligence; the stars and the mountains
live, the river and the lake, and the waters
have a spirit" Every hidden agency,
every mysterious influence is personifed.
4 god dwcls in the sun, and in the moon,
and in the firmament;the spirit of the morn
ing rcddcns in the eastern sky; a deity is
present in the ocean and in the FIRE; the
crag that ovcrhangs tho river has It's gen.
JUS; there is spirit in the waterfall;
household god makes its abode in the In
dian wigwam, and consccrates his home;
spirits climb upon the forehead 10 weigh
down the eyclids in sleep. Not the heav-
eniy bodies only, the sky is filled with spi-
rils that minister to man. To the savage,
divinity, broken as It wcte into an infinite
number of fragments, fills all place and all
being. The idea, Of unity, in the creation
may have existed cnntemporaneously but
it existed only In the germ, or as the vague
belief derived from the harmony OF the
universe. Yet faith in the great Spirit,
when once presented, was promptly seiz-
ed and appropriated, and SO infused itself
into the heart of rcmotest tribes, that II
came to DO often considered rs a portion Of
their original faith. Their shadowy aspi-
r5tions and crccds assumed, through the
report Of missionaries, more complete
Development, and a religious system was
elected from the pregnant, but rude mate
rails"

Useful Reetpe.---I send you below
Messrs Editors, a recipe for making com
position which will render wood entirely
incombustlble. 1t is very simply prepared
and quite easy of application, being used
the same as paint with an ordinary brush.
A good coat Of it applied TO the floor under
stoves would be an excellent precaution.
Take a quantity OF water, proportoned
10 the surface of wood YOU may wish to
cover, and add to it as much potash as can
be dissolved in it. When the water will
dissolve no more potash, stir into the So
luton, 1st. quantity of flour paste of the
consistency of common painters size; Cd,
a sufficient quantity of pure clay to render
it TO the consistency of cream.
When the clay is well mixed, apply tho
preparation as before directed TO the wood
it will secure it from the action of both fire
and rain. In most violent fire wood thus
saturated may be carbonatcd but il will ne
yer blaze,
If desira Die, more agreeable color can
be given TO the preparation, by adding a
small quantity Of red or yellow ochre.

THE FIRST SALUTE GIVEN TO THE AME-
RICAN FLAG.

Cooper, in his naval history, states that
the first salute ever paid 10 the American
flag by a regular government, was fired
bv the Dutch Governor, Of ST. Eustatia
NJ. de Graal, 1776, in return for the salute
of the Andrea DORA, of fourteen guns,
Capt. Robinson. He visited this port for
arms. On his arrival he was kindly re-
ceved by the Governor, who honored him
with an entertainment, and invited all the
American merchants and provincial agents
residing at ST. Eustatia.
This uniform friendly conduct Of the
Governor of St. Eustatia towards all the
Americans bsoon ecame the subject of
complaint on the part Of The Brit
fish government. In April, l777, Sir
Joseph Yorke repaired to Holland and de-
manded Of the States General, satisfaction
for his conduct in having returned the sa-
lutes Of the American vessels; fired at
frigate in chase of an American under the
guns Of the fort, suffering an American
privateer to bring in, and dispose of St.
Kits vessels there, which it had made
prize Of; and in countenancing the Ameri-
cans generally This demand was ac-
companied with a threat to quit the Hague
if attention was not Immediately paid for
i. Their High Mightinesses answered;
their Governor could not be condemned
without being first heard, and the Tedel
was as open to his Excellency as TO any
one else
