GREAT D1sCovERY.-SAFETY IN STEAM-RArB's
DOUBLE SKLF-AcrING SAFETY VAIvES.-Our atten-
ton has been called to these valves, now on board
the Souih America steamboat, OF the Peoples line,
running the North River 10 Albany. These
valves are simple mechanical apparatus applied to
the boilers OF steam engines, by which explosions
are rendered impossible. This invention Of Mr.
Raub is one OF the most important that has been
made since the application oil steam power to me-
chanics and navigation, and we trust the public will
soon be saved from reading the horrible details with
which our papers are almost daily filled, of deaths
and destruction from this fatal element IL this dis
coverv had been made thirty years ago, it would
and hundreds of lives for we find, in reverting to
the record, that in that period upwards of twenty
explosions have taken place, and more than one hun
bred and fifty lives been sacrificed
The inventor has had these valves before Con-
gress some time, upon which various committees
have favorably reported at different periods but
that honorable body, not having the fear of death
before their eyes, and being anxiously engaged in
office-seeking, and PresidentmakIng, have neglect
ed to provide for the wants of the people, it now be-
comes our duty to look out for own safety, and
we trust that some Of public spirited citizens
will secure the valves for the use OF steam engines
in this quarter as we are assured by the inventor
that with these applied, it is impossible to colrapse
iiue or burst boiler. He says this great and dan
gerous agent Of mans enterprise Is rendered as
harmless as the bed of down, by the use OF his
| waves, contamination most devoutly TO be wish
ed, certainly. They are now in operation on
BOARD the South America to which the public atten-
! ton is directed.

WAR AMONG THE STEAMERs-We call the atten
ton of readers to the bulletin of Capt. Wander
bit, on the war going on in the Sound.
We should not be surprised if this war were to
turn out counterpart to the Rhode Island war
We shall stand by and see fair play, but will not
take side with either, although a military man and
an LII d. For the Stonington route, we have strong

Comstock. This veteran was the first mortal man
who gave a taste of the deliciousness, the pic

We are rising very rapidly in this sinful world.
l short tune ago, the Corporation OF Nauveo, Hi.
nois, conferred upon US the freedom of the city.
How far this freedom extends we know not but we
suppose 1t embraces a vast number of delicious
privileges, according TO the Mormon creed The
next step was to raise us to the dignity of L. L. D.,
a regular Doctor Of Laws, by the University of
Nauvoo, an honor which we highly prize, and which
Is as good and perhaps better, than that conferred
on General Jackson by the University of Harvard,
or that on His Excellency, Edward Everett by the
Unlverslty OF Cambridge in England But this is not
all Yesterday, blessed be the day, we received by
a special messenger from Illinois, the intelligence
that that State had gone entirely for the Momons

which contained the parchment comforting high

lowing is true copy-the original being in our

LITERARY SPARRNa.-We understand that the
literary etlervescence about Cooey's book on Egypt
still continues and that the pot has literally boiled
over at last. Park Benjamin and Gliddon, the re-
viewer, have had quarrel on the subject, which
ended in a regular fare-up. Park denies that he
meant any harm by the publication of the review
and we don't believe he did, for the review has
done the book great deal of good Giddon says,
that the best parts of the review were left out by
Park and therefore ne is going to write pamphlet
cutting up and tearing the book TO pieces cutting
up Americans in Egypt Americans in Europe, and
Americans everywhere. Gliddon is now in Phila-
delphia, experimenting his pamphlet, drinking
Schuylhill water, and picking up ladies' fans We
shall look for the publication of this work with a
good deal of curosty-for il will doubtless be writ
ten pretty much in the tone and temper of Boz's
last budget

had very sharp thunder shower, with vivid flashes
of lightning, which seemed to strike in some part of
the city; but we heard of no damage being done.
We learn since that the lightning has done much
mischief party Of six persons were out blackber-
rying about three miles from Harlem Bridge when
the storm came up. -Four Of them were struck
down by the lightning two were instantly killed,
and one very seriously injured, not expected to live.
The two killed were Germans one left wife and

The Recent Elections-The Counter Revo
lions.


lions.
The returns of the recent State elections begin to
exhibit one OF the most remarkable counter-revou-
lions that ever took place in this changing and ex-
citable republic
Beginning with Connecticut last spring, we have
returns from ten States, and in SIX of them,
presented with complete revolution, from whig to
democrat, since the famous hard-cder election of
1910, Connecticut has changed-North Carolina
has changed-Louislana has changed--Tennessee
has changed-lndana has changed-Iinois has
changed-and sold Kentucky is shaken
TO the centre by some invisible, internal earthquake
And these States were thoroughly wing in 1910
by an aggregate majority OF forty an fifty thousand
They now locofoco, by probably t,centy thou
sand
This amasing popular revolution, worked out in
two years, naturally makes every man ask" what
the devil is the reason 2"
The cause arises not from the personal connection
OF Harry Clay with the whig party-for, as man,
he has probably more personal popularity than any
other single person in the republic. Many admire
Harry Clay for his many gallant qualities, while
they hate his party a faction of tyranncal aristo-
Gratis, and oppose his measures as unwise and wrong
in principle.
What then is the cause of this wonderful revolu-
ton
II arises from the melancholy conduct of the pre-
sent hard-cder Congress, who for nearly two years,
have dsgraced their country by personal squabbles,
and neglect OF duty to a most alarming extent They
have sought to throw the government into confusion
in order to head off the President The coun-
try has their conduct, and is now coming forth
decidedly in favor of the vetoes-the measures and
policy of the President.
There can be no error in this inference-no mis-
take IN such CONCLUSION. Every election confirms
II. The revolution is still going on-further over
whelming defeats will probably overtake the wings,
and what is worst of all, the glorious, gallant, bold
and generous 0or never will believe him other
wise) Henry Clay will be buried in the ruins brought
about by wicked, conupt, vindctive, and darnna-
BILE Clique of reprobates and politicians who have
their centre in Wall their outposs at the re-
hottest limits of the republic-and their ultimate
destiny In the internal regions down below, where
they can speculate on fire and birthstone instead of
lots and stocks from eternity eternity for ever
morc-amen!
Such are the electons-such the revolution such
the fate of men and parties.

MEDICINE AND MusIc-During our visit to Canada,
Doctor Mott, of the Suyvesant Medical College,
made very impudent and unwarrantabe attack on
one of the gentlemen of this establishment A
sufficient reply has never been made to this attack
but it is coming
In the course of next week, we shall take up this
subject, and not only show the utter groundessness
of the attack-but we shall give full history Of
the movements, during the last year, of Doct. Mott,
Doct. Pattson, Doct. Bedford, and the whole clique,
upper and under, of this establishment. We shall
exhibit their jealousy, envy folly, Stiffness, and in
gratitude in the most broad and natural lights. We
were the principal means, and at great outlay, of
giving general notorety to this institution and Of
spreading its name far and wide in its infancy-and
for this effort, Mott, Pattison, and Bedford have re-
turned nothing but insult and impernence They
have not to this day, paid up their bills for ad
vertising. Their insoence and impertinence have
been without bounds. They have not only de-
scended to attack the character of persons con-
nected with this establishment-bu some of them
have come down to the lower depth Of assailing
private character in private circles on the au-
thority of one Peter S. Townsend.
We shall teach Drs. Mott, Bedford, and Pattison,
that our character, both public and private is not
only equal to any of theirs any day. but is far supe
rior to of them in the most important relations
of life. We shall ungown this nsolent clique before
we have done with it.
