Another Letter from Maj. Downing
ON THE ROAD TO THE WAR.
AUGus1-, 1917.
Mr.. GALES & SEAToN:
Ny lear old Friends:-I spose you'll
be amazingly disappointed to find Pm away
off here, pushin on to the seat of war
and didn't call to see you when l come
through Washington. But you mustn't
blame ne, for it, for couldn't help it
the President wouldn't let me call-he
said was getting quite too thick with
you, writing letters to YOU and all that.
And when he spoke about the letters, he
looked kind OF red, and showed consider
able spunk.
Says he Major Downing have PVT
good deal ofconfdrnce i'll yoo as friend
Of my administration-an if you are a
friend to it; you must let Gales and Sea-
ton alone-keep out Of their way and
have nothing to do with them--they are
dangerous mischief making iellers, cter-
nally peckin at my administration all
weathcrs. Let me try to keep things cv-
CT SO snug, and lay my plans ever SO deep
they are sure to dig them all up, lug them
into the Intelligcnccr. and blaze 'em all
over the country. Coniound their pic
turs they are the most troublesome Gus

Single do. do. TO.

The Subscriber is still ready to supply the pub
lie with the right lllnd Of machinery. lie has
introduced Double Ram OF hiS own invention,
winch will lift water from well, spring or res
crvoir, any depth not more than 50 II. beneath
the level w'.n.c it works, end then throw II to
any desirable height. This is an entirely new
invention, and produces the effect by the simple
impulse and conclusion Of the water and atin"s-
pheric pressure. There is no rotary friction, and
nothing to wear but three simple valves; ana the
cost is very little more than that OF the single
ram, which, while 1t is much more complicated
throws only part Of the " alter used as the prope-
ling power.
The SINGLE RAM is improved materially from
those first used in this county.
He has also introduced double-actinT torce
and LIT pump, Ola very superior KIND. u VIII
lit the waller from any well OF any depth ana
throw it to any height required, say 10 bath
room in any part oil mouse, or TO tic sn'uc' III
he form Ola jet
Also, Il single pump, much cheaper than the
above, but which will only raise water Bon. his
pump suIrs well IN towns and v'IMges-lt saves
the d,gnjug Of other wells, as orc good well by
the placing oficaten pipes from II to the places
where the water is wanted, will supplya dozen
tml.ics.
The above machines are made Of durable ma
tcra!s, such as iron, copper, brass and lead, ana

| ASoTuER RAILROAD ACCIGEST.-The pas
scngcr train from Boston west, on the West
ern Railroad, came in collision, on Friday
morning, near Charlton, with freight train,
which destroyed both engines and other prop
ty TO the amount of 10 or $4,000. Fourteen
persons connected with the trains were more
or less injured The collisions detached ten
freight cars which ran back down a steep
grade of the road ten or twelve miles. The
passenger train from Springfield had narrow
escape from a collision with the runaway
cars. The Springfield train had got as far
East Broc kfeld, and being about four minutes
behind its time, the Conductor decided not To
90 on to the next Station where he usually
passed the Boston train, but to wait at tho
East Brookficld Station for the train. The
passengers were urgent that he should in
crease the speed Of the train and get to the
usual turn out place in season; but the Con
ductor would not, and turned out his train on
to the opposite track to let the Boston passcn-
ger train pass He had hardly got on to the
,urn out track, when the runaway cars pass
ed him at speed of GO miles an hour. Had
he proceeded as the passengers insisted he
should, he would have come in collision with
the runaway cars and there would have
been a fearful loss of life The passengers
were so impressed with their remarkable es-
cape from death, that they returned thanks to
God, and raised subscription to procure
and present the Conductor, Mr.. Parker, with
a silver pitcher, for the faithful discharge Of
his duty, as a conductor.

who can speak so authortativcly, from his

changes which have taken place, in the last
twenty years, both in the spirit and structure
of its governments-an the social and litera-

this valuable discourse will be sought for by

human mind, as it exhibits itself in a country
SO remarkably constituted, socially and intel

| THREE Dozen ScoUNDRELs.-The
U. S. brig Crusoe, which arrived here
some two or three days ago from the
Brazos, brought a select lot of murderers
thieves and villains of every dye. Ii
seems that these rascals, numbering in
all lhirty-six, had been driven from the
American lines, from Monterey to Camar.
go, and thence to the Brazos, for crimes
of all sorts. They were forwarded to
This city by Major Thomas B. Easlland
Quarlermasier OF the Brazos, by order
Of Gen. Taylor The MAJOR says he has
no doubt but that most Of them are old
offenders and there are still "a few
more left" who will be shipped for this
port in u few days. Venturing an
opinion, we would suggest that the cargo
of criminals sent to New-Orleans would
find better marke, among the gue.rillas
of Mexico, than in this port. 1t is some
thing like "sending Goals to Newcastle. "
