1t has been for several years favorte theory of Cap
tain Ericsson the first successful applicant of the steam
propeller to navigation that the most economical, safe,
and desirable of steam upon the in comb-
nation with the power of the wind. For ocean naviga-
ton, he regarded the propeller mere auxiliary to the
sails He proposed to employ the efficient and inexpen-
sive agency of the wind alone far possible and
when the wind failed to have to Ii was
difficult OF course to induce the mercantile world to
bark in the OF experiments requisite the
practicabty of the proposed combination. Some intel
gent and enterprisng merchants OF Boston, however,
percevng the great advantages that could not fail to re-
suit ultimately from the of Captain Ericsson s
project, determined TO test it in practice and built two
ships-one of 400 and of 700 tons-whch were fur
nished with auxiliary steam power. These were the
Edith and the Massachusetts,.
The attention of the War Department was directed to
these vessels; and their admirable fitness for the gull
service induced General Jesup, with the advice and APP
probation of the President to become their purchaser
The Massachusetts, has made dozen trips from
New York and New Orleans Brazos, in the service OF
the United States, and the Edith nearly the num-
Der, with unerring certainty and despatch. We learn
that their performances have given the highest satisfac
ton to the government In letter received few days
since the War Department General Jesup, are in
formed, speaks of the Massachusetts in terms of un-
qualified admiration; and it stated in the papers
that the Edith recently made the passage from Bazos TO
New Orleans in ffy-wo hours, in the face of violent
gales from the south and east 1t is in these vessels,
therefore, and in the service of our government,
that may look for the solution of this most interest
ing and important problem-the successful combination
of the agencies of wind and steam for the purposes of
navigation. In nautical science this is emphatcay
of the great questions Of the day The time believe
to be far distant when auxiliary power will
be deemed indispensable at least to every ship in the
val service and it will doubtless be adopted, TO great
extent, in mercantile marine With the aid of very
ingenious apparatus invented by Captain Ericsson, by
which the propeller be readily unshpped at sea,
steamers of this description be at converted into
perfect sailing vessels, with nothing to impair or impede
their sailing qualities. This gives them a security in
rough weather which be claimed for no other class of
steam vessels.
