The Augusta Constituencies describes
the model Of self-loading cart, which,
with the power Of one horse, is calculated
to remove ten to twelve feet Of ploughed
earth at load, and with less labor both to
the driver and horse than that which at
tends common ploughing. 1t is intended
to discharge its load, wherever it is car
ried, without stopping. The construction
Of this cart is 90 simple, it Is said, that any
ordinary workman can make the wood work

Engineering rs. Plotting.

FL
An acquaintance, who has done some
service both as engineer and pilot, thus re-
lates his experience:
How did / like s'greasingp" Not at all!
After having stood watch, turn into a
room as hot as furnace; no bar, and mus
quitoes thick as ofiice-seekers at Washing-
ton, and eqilslly annoying. Lay couple
Of hours fighting them of-drop asleep,
and just as you are getting s'as comfortable
as cansbe expected" you are reused out
BY 4 fellow feeling your ribs with the end
Of bis boot, and calling out, "Four clock"
Get up as sharp set as cross cut saw; 60
to the pantry, and find It regularly cleaned
out-try for drink; the coffee cold. and
the water warm. Go below---try the wa
ter in the boiler; that scace, Try to raise
i, but can't come il; the pump won't throw.
Have the boat landed and work for an hour
at it; start sgain-the packing chest out;
land and pack; the engine room full Of
steam, in which you are parboiled. Ready
.tor breakfast-get that, and turn in for an
inch or two Of sleep. Just as you have
succeeded in hoisting in small lot, your
partner is at you, swearing the pump has
suspended and he can't fix it, no how! Go
below--overhaul the internal thing, and
fuss about, generally, for another hour
Start for your room TO roast until dinner.
While going on deck. see the pilot house

pilot, he hapiag little else to do but answer

From the Washimgtos Usion.
The Florida Case..NOveI and ln-
teresting Questions.

1t seems that the act Of Congress Of the
Sd Of March, lS45, admitting Florida and
Iowa into the Union, did not contain any
provision for the. transfer Of the causes
pending in the superior courts, Of the Ter
ritory to the new district court Of the Uni
ted States created by that act. 1t was Sc
'riously apprehended that, if the distric,
court should Be organized and put into op-
Grafton before Congress should have provi-
ded for the omission, it would arrest these
causes where they are, and put them out
Of court, to the great prejudice Of the inte-
rests Of the United States. The govern
ment interests in litigation in Florida are
said to be immense. b,s.aks :;
Under all the circumstances, the Presi-
dent very judiciously declined to appoint
the officers of the new court, until Con-
gress shall have an opportunity of supply
ing their omission to provide for the trans
fer, Of the causes, and has thus kept the af-
fair disembarrassed Of the clashing iuris-
dictions Of the several tribunals, and leaves
the superior courts Of the Territory in
possession Of the same powers which they
have exercised heretofore, Sc. M
We learn, furthermore, that the district
attorney for East Florida addressed aletter
to the Solicitor Of the Treasury, asking
Instructions upon the sucject; which, pass
ing through the usual forms, has drawn
forth concurring opinions from the Attor-
ney General and the Solicitor, which have
received the appreciation Of the President
that the appointments should not, and in-
deed cannot, at this lime be made.
Since then We have understood that the
Solicitor has transmitted his instructions
to the United States Attorney, in which he
has fully discussed the questions involved;
and the conclusion he came to will be
readily understood, when we add that the
United States Attorney was instructed to
proceed in the cause for ,the present, as il
the act for the admission Of Florida into the
Union had not been passed.
This being matter Of much public con-
ccrnment and general interest we do not
perceive any good reason why the same
should not be laid before the public, whom
it most concerns. At all events, we shall
apply forleave totak and publish copies Of
these interesting communications; and, il
successful. they viii shortly appear in our
columns. - ..,.

A Bro RuNoa.--It has been whispered
in Wall street this morning and yesterday,
says the New York Commercial ofthe 3Oth
ult., that the result Of the Presidents de-
liberation with his Cabinet, on the Oregon
Question, was determination to follow the
example Of the British Government on The
Maine boundary affair, and send special
Minister to London. Even, the Minister
has been named Mr.. Van Buren-and w.
have heard also, in this connection, the name
Of another distinguished leader in the Dsm-
ocratic party. We have not been ahls 70
trace the rumor to any authentic source, ana
It is very possible that it has no batter
foundation than the scores Of On dts which
are slways generated in the prseints of po-
litical gossip, when the mindssof mss are
strongly fastened upon any public question

The Money Panic IN Cincinnati.-The
Cincinnati Atlas Of the 9Th, says: In con.
sequence Of the failure Of the SM1rns, who
are said 10 own the Bank Of st. Clair.
Michigan, to meet the payment Of certain
drafts drawn by them on New York, the
notes Of the Bank Of ST. Clair, have been
refused BY our merchants and others, and
have been subjected to heavy discount.
A rumor also became current in the city
yesterday, that the Smiths were in some
way connected with the Banks of San
dusky, Norwalk and Wooster-and ali
holding the notes Of these banks. seemed
anxious to get rid Of them, By deposit il
bank or otherwise. Some Of the banks re-
fused to receive them, and the panic be-
came general. The brokers continued un-
til after business hours to receive them at
discount Of 10 per cent. We could not
ascertain that there was any substantial
reason for discreditins the notes Of our
Ohio banks, and think this panic will only
prove a havest 10 the brokers. There IS
no information that the banks have failed.
or refused to redeem their notes ia specie
which we believe they are better able to
do than the banks Of Indiana, whose notes
are scattered all over, The whole Missi,-
sippi valley.
While remarking upon this subject, We
feel ourselves bound in justice to notice
the fact, that the Citixcns' Bank, which
paid out in tho morning notes which were
subsequently discredited, promptly ex-
changed them during The day Er other
current notes. II
