ANOTHER AMERICAN INVENTION.

Our readers will remember that some few weeks
since we published communication relative to
the sectional dock, together with a certificate OF
Captain Hosken relative to the Great Britain having
been taken into the same. That communication,
which had previously appeared in the New York
papers, as we learn, elected reply from the owners
of the balance dock of John S. Gilbert, esq, alto
gether at variance with the previous statement.
That reply We this day publish. These rival struc-
lures have, it seems, been some time before the
country, and will probably be brought before the
present session of Congress
Though always ready to sustain every meritori-
GUS improvement Of our countrymen, we are not ds-
posed to institute injurious comparisons to the pre-
JUDGE of any. Inasmuch, therefore, as we spoke Of
the merits of the sectional dock, justice to
qure that we state, that the balance dock has al
ready been adopted in Europe as well as in this
country; that company have built two docks under
Mr.. Gbert's patent at Amsterdam, capable of dock
ing the largest ships which visit that port; that Mr..
Norman, very celebrated builder of France, after
visiting the docks at Amsterdam, approved and
built one at Havre, and that on his recommends
ton another is in building at Marseilles, of sufficient
power and capacity to dock the government ships.
Mr. Gilberts dock has also been adopted and bulk
at Charleston, South Caroina and is also in build
ing at New Orleans, appears by the papers Of
that city, and of very great dimensions. With this
strong testimony in favor Of the balance dock, and
which has been lately brought to our knowledge, we
should do injustice to our own feelings in not COM
muncating the to the public. Having done
so, we leave these improvements to stand on their
own merits, without expressing any opinion as to
which may be best entitled to appreciation.

From the Brooklyn Daily Advertiser.

The following note was received this morning from
ex-sherif Stryker. We met him in Fulton street,
lmping along by the aid Of cane, and, inquiry,
found he was suffering from attack Of rheu-
matism. Having heard much said Of the efficacy Of
the Galvanic Plaster in such cases, and being in
possession Of one, with pains to be alleviaied-
plaster had failed to remedy--we proceeded to our
dwelling procured the Galvanc, and presented il to
our friend with the request to acquaint us with the
result the next time we met. Not having seen him
since, we suppose he was too much elated to wait
an interview, and sent US the following note. We
know not whether we shall be doing right to publish
it, but take the responsibility, for the benefit Of others
who are suffering from the distressing maady, rheu-
matism.

II is very rare that our Gazette has teemed with
so much information of late; for our government,
as general rule, does not like to have its actions,
whether good or bad, made public. The Informal
ton in question is chiefly relative to the campaign
in Caucasus but, although it occupies much space,
and is interesting enough in its way, fear must
content myself by summing it up in one line; and
that line is, that Count Woronzow had followed the
mountaneers, had had several affairs with them lin
all Of which he successfully and that finally he
succeeded, after some very severe combats, fought
with desperate courage on both sides, in capturing
the village of Dargo, the residence OF Imam Schan-
nil chief Of all the Mohammedan tribes of the Cau-
casus and Of the Daghesan. A detail Of the mill
tary operations by which this was effected could not
be made Ineligible without a map.
These victories are naturally most satisfactory to
our governments but il may be doubted whether they
will have the result that has been hoped for Though
defeated to-day, the hardy mountaineers are ready
to fight again tomorrow; and il is even suspected
that their defeats are altogether without calcula-
ton, for they hope they will encourage the Rus
slams to follow them far into the mountains, where
the odds will be greatly in their favor, and where,
consequently, they may obtain bloody victory. At
the taking Of Dargo, it was almost by miracle that
the Russian army was not deprived Of its stock Of
provisions. Had il been, its victory would have
been Immediately followed by a shameful retreat.
The Emperor lately issued an ordinance ordering
small portions Of land to be awarded to poor Jews
willing to occupy themselves in agricultural labor;
but the rascay subordnates of the government have
contrived to make this decree Of no effect. Yet
such is the dreadful slavery in which the poor Jews
live, that they dare not complain; for trough the
Emperor would instantly see justice done them,
they would become victims to the cruelty Of his
subordinates.
A ukase has been issued, adding fifty per cent on
all exports from countries which do not admit Rus

act truth through the cloud Of false reports-false
hopes exaggerated by the agricuturists, anxious to
suppress any notion that bad harvest will give a
finishing blow to the corn-Iaws; false fears, spread
abroad by SPECTATORS anxious get up good price
for their corn. But the sun speaks for itself. The
reports from more distant tracts on the continent
are gloomy enough, and make il douby desirable
