We hereby certify that we have used in our
families, for several years, "Wa,crman's Spe-
cfc Plaster" In the fall Of the year in 1880,
our father, Caleb Atwood. was taken sick Of u
bilious fever. When the fever lett him, or soon
after, his feet and legs became very much in
famed and swollen, with sores, so that he was
unable TO walk, though otherwise apparently
well. lie had been in this condition, under the
charge of nm eminent physician who attended
him regularly, for nearly two months, and OBJ
tanned no relief, when he was adyI TO make
use of "Wacrman's Specific Plaster" lie did
80 and in two weeks effected Il complete cure.
lie was then about 40 years of age. lie died
about three years afterwards.
We were - well satisfied in the case above
referred TO, that we kept the plaster by Us ever
since, have used ii in variety Of cases, and
hecn fully satisfied Of lis beneficial effects. We
therefore feel free To recommend il To others AZ

river or sea navigation. shall remark
upon but one of these, its peculiar adop-
lion 10 canal duty. noticed ,he boat in
company and when 10 our rear, could
see thai instead ofihe water being thrown
out, laieraly, from the sides, il fell in
upon the boat right and left This was
caused by the action Of the propcllers,
which threw the water backwards in the
boats wake, making n trough, or hollow,
in the water, at the stem Upon the
known principle that "water will find its
level, " the tendency Of the water forward,
and right and left, is to fall into his carig
al The stern Of the boat. This ellectually
secures the banks Of the canal from the
usual action Of the water driven forward,
and right and lefi of the bow, in horse
towing, or any other mode Of passing
through canal.
IL appears to me that this propeller,
for this reason alone, will be adopted in
the navigation Of all the canals over the
whole country. But, through the canal,
these boats keep on, indebted to no ex-
ternai aid, to their destination, and when
there, should occasion require it, they
can move from dock Ia dock f; from one
river 10 the other, or from one port to
the other, and that too by the simplest
machinery (lor a boy can work it, in
the world. presume some one will
state the draught of water made by these
boats when loaded, and enter into other
like calculations, such as the cost of fuel
per mile, of labor, and wear aud tear,

These boats appear to me to do the
business at a stroke, of Just doubling the
capacity Of the canals-lor n canal may
be considered as being doubled in lis
width, when by any arrangement, a boat
can be constructed to carry through it,
double the tonnage of any other. Capt
Stockton's triumph is complete -and he
will be regarded as public benoiactor
for this successful experiment. These
boats will ply between Philadelphia and
New York New York and Albany, and

| Monday June 81, was great day for tho
city OF New York for on tina, day was open.
/ ed, IN conformity with previous arrangement,
the stupendous work known AS the Croton
! Aqueduct, through which tho water of Crotun
r,er, conveyed over a distance OF forty miles.
was let into the great receiving reservoir not
far from the outer suburbs of the city, amidst
sautes from tho military and the cheefs and
gratulatiOns OF many thousand cltizeos who
had assembled on the occasion. Among
those present we observe particularly noticed
the Governor and Lieutenant Governor Of the
State, the Chancellor and Court of Errors, the
Mayor and City Council, the British Consul
for New York, Lord John Hay ana the Off
GERS of British frigate WarspItc, &c. The
receiving reservoir into which the water was
admitted covers some thirty or thirty. five
acres with walls forty feet high. The water
was passed into TIE distributing reservoir Oh
the 4h of July.
From the descriptions Of this great enter.
prise which have lately appeared in the pa.
pers we learn that the main canal is of solid
masonry, and six feet wide, nine feet high.
and forty miles long formed Of walls three
feet thick cemented into solid rock The
dam at Croton is forty feet high and seventy
Il CT wide, and the reservoir covers five bon.
drcd acres. \ tunnel carries the water from
this reservoir into the canal, and, within
short distance, there are eleven others, some
en-, through solid rock. At intervals of
mile there are venlilators, in the form of fmar.
bic towers, to keep the water pure. They
present beautiful appearance. The bridge
over the Harlem cost six hundred thousand
dollars, is a quarter of mile long, aud one
hundred and sixteen feet above high water /;
and that over Sing Sing creek is composed
OF a single span OF elghty.elght feet, aud Is
one hundred feet above The stream. AT Man.
haItanyllle there is tunnel of quarter ola
mile in length, and It's valley is crossed by
pipes descending one hundred and five feet.
The receiving reservoir is at Yorkville, covers
an area Of thirty five acres, and is capable of
one hundred and sixty millions Of gallons.
The distributing reservoir is al Mury's llll.
1t is a splendid specimen of masonary, GOV
erlng five acres, 3G feet deep and viii hold
twenty-five millions Of gallons. The whole
work is completed, with the exception of
High Bridge, which will require two or three
years longer. The work was commenced
four years ago. /, was estimated to cost five
millions of dollars, but it has cost twelve mil
lions; yet when completed 1t will not only
be OF great use TO the city Of New York, but
will be one Of the most, il not the most splen.
did pieces of work of the kind in the world.

ing the long circ uil up 70 London Bridge,
which, from the various distractions in
the streets, and the general difficulty Of
passing through the most crowded por-
iion of the city, must now occupy many
hours, would obviously direct the whole
current OF the traffic into the TnnDel.
Hitherto, no expedient has been adopt
ed TO shorten the passage of the traffic |;
and the contrlvance by which 1900 clear
feet nre substituted for at least three
miles Of the most encumbered thorough.
fare imaginable, must be adopted as a
matter OF the most palpable advantage
Sill there may be difficulties in The way
which practice only can exhibit. But
any fear of the structure itselfwe should
regard as altogether visionary. The
building OF the Tunnel seems as solid as
rock. During The whole period from
the commencement, we have not heard
OF q single instance Of its giving way,
vast rs the pressure was from above, and
trying as were the danps, the ground
springs, aud the extreme difficulty Of
building under water.
Vt this momeni the roof is obviously rs
& from damp as the roof Of ST. Pauls
land unless an earthquake should burst
il, the whole fabric seems much more
likely to last than were it exposed 10 the
diversities of lniemperature, the heats
and frost above ground. The especial
advantage otthe system of The Tunnel is,
that il can be adopted in any part Of the
course Of a river, aud even in It's widest
part. (lor European rivers exceed the
breadth of the Thames at Rotherhite, un
less where they spread into marshes or
lakes,) and yet offer no impedlment to
the navigation.
But we regard il as having a still high
er character we consider It as noble
and essential adjunct to the railway sys-
ten, and TO have come exactly at the
proper period for completing Il system
which is now spreading over Europe,
which is obviously meant as great in-
strument of civilization, and which with
out il must suffer full stop at the banks
of every great river. For we cannot
look TO any resource in the clumsy and |
always insecure contrivance of Il bridge |
OF boats or masonry, incurring great loss
OF time, requiring change OF engines and
carriages, with hundred other dsaGvan-
iages; while, by tunnel, the whole
train might sweep along wholly unob-
sirucied, and be many league on the
course before traveller could have
crossed by the bridge. We shall thus
probably see the Rhine, the Danube, AND
the Rhone passed below their beds, If the
Governments of their countries shall l
have the funds or the common sense 10 |
follow up their present projects for the
railroads. Our impression decidedly is, !
that the tunnel is essential as a part Of Il
the railway. Englan has tight to
pride herself alike on the scientific intre-
pidiiy and the palpable value of the un-
dertakIng 10 mankind. Brunei has been
knighted on The completion Of his work.
But his perseverance and talent deserve
a more productive distinction. We hope
that he will give us IA history Of this great,
now, and decided triumph over nature.

The BosToN PosT.--We have not
time or room to copy into our paper the
abominable falsehoods tina, have appear
ed in the Boston Post respecting the
Termination of the late rebellion in this
State, but we feel it duty to inform
our readers, who may have seen and
read said articles, that they have been
most fully refuted in the columns Of the
Providence Journal, and to which am
pie reiutation we add our corroborative
testimony. The falsehoods about mems
dying in prison milliners' shops being
broken open, and women murdered,
are so bare-faced that contradiction
would scarcely seem to be necessary at

of this removal, says
"There must be some mistake upon
this subject, at Washington, and we re-
spectfuly but earnestly invite the aticn,
ton Of the Postmaster General special
