IMPORTANT Discovery IN SpAIN.-The fol-
lowing paragraph in relation to new plan for
propelling vessels recently discovered in Spain,
is translated from Madrid paper, Of the lIth
Of June. Bait. Amer.
We inform the public that we have seen the
model ofa new invention tor propelllng ships,
10y Mr.. Andrea f7a, and which has been con-
structed by means furnished by our Institute
here for promoting mechanical inventions. The
one alluded to is unGuestionably highly impor-
;ant, and from The immense locomotive power
applied by the hand, through the agency OF an
endless chain, attached to wheels of twenty md
thirty feet diameter, according to the depth OF
water and height Of the vessel, it is dcmon.ta-
ted that the power Of one man, thus applied,
is equal to that Of SIX horses in steamers-it is
shown that four portable wheels can be easily
applied to ship Of war Of three or four hun.
dred men, possessing thus tremendous loco
motive power by the principle in question. The
same is applicable to merchantmen, without cx.
,rnordinary hard work. A most glaring revo.
!ution in navigation has been attained by Mr.
liza, but he requires the support Of the whole
nation that his invention should not be usur-
ped by foreigners, as has shappened with steam

Mr.. Andrew H. Jordon, of Columbus, Mlssissip-

and four feet one inch in height was born in
Mississippi OF parents in no respect remarkable
for any deviation from the ordinary size and
temperament of their respective sexes. No.
thing usual in person or mind distinguished
him, until he completed his fret year, when he
began developing in Il manner that excited the
astenishment of all who saw him. His halr
grew with surprising rapidity over his entire
body and face, giving him whiskers and bearC
as luxuriant as an adult. His body ASSUMED
the muscular developments Of athletic man

age TO ltt 200 pounds dead weight, with ease
His mind was clear and strikngly vigorous
