New Cnrringe snrinc.

We took a two hours ride yesterday, about town
and country, with Mr.. H. F. BoorH of Columbus,
Ohio for the purpose of testing the utility of new
carriage spring, called the cell spring, for WHICH he
has patent. 1t is very simple in its construction,
and simply attached to the body and axles Of any
carriage. 1t is made upon the principle of the main
spring of watch, and unites power, elasticity and
strength in the same manner. It's weight is not more
than fourth part of that of the elliptic springs and
workman can make ten of the coil springs 10 one of
the elliptic Here are two important elements Of
cheaPncss 10 begin with. Then the coil spring is
great deal less likely to break to get out of ORDER
we should think, than any other that Is in As
TO It's operatOn especially over rough roads, it is al
together better than the elliptic, carrying the carriage
more evenly, and without any surgng swaying up
and down and to and fro. The carriage therefore
easier with less and tear to itself and all
connected with it, and with much less than the usual
chances of capszing. The principal carriage makers
at Columbus certify to the merits Of this spring in
terms of high praise.
We regard an improvement of this description,
combining ii does cheaPness, durability, safety and
comfort, as public benefit in many ways. 1t cheap
ems carriages, SO that more can afford to enjoy the
pleasure they are capable of afording; more car
rages viii consequently be demanded, to the profit of
those who make them; and the greater the number
that are used, The greater will be the improvement
made in roads. There will be great many inciden-
tai benefits, besides these, to harness-nlakers black
smiths tavern-keepers and Others
Mr.. BooTH (whO may be found at Browning's) is
DESTROYS of selling the patent right, for the of the
coil spring, for this State. We should think it could
not fail to be profitable Investment We advise all
who Jake an interest in such matters, whether they
desire purchase the right not, to look at it, if
nothing more and if they don't believe all we say of
the coil spring, just beg MIR. Booth to let them take
ride in his carriage and try it They will then find
that have said half enough in its favor or we
very much mistaken.

The Indiana Journal. speaking Of the return Of Tie
Indinna volunteers says that ire tH companies
Rom he ffh Congressional District, bit That JeC Of
TEN mere in the battles ia Merico.
The Journal is atterly SO entirely Incorrect in its
statements thatwe are under the necessity of correct
ing it for the benefit of true history of passing
events II is true that five companies volunteered in
this District good proof that in Central Indiana
the prosecution Of the war with Mexico is considered
Just on the part of the American people; but it is
altogether false, that but few Of these companies were
10 battle. -Four out of five of these companies be-
iOnged to the third Regiment, which SO CALAMITY
charged on the Mexcans on the battle field Of Buena
Vista, and the fifth company, indianapolis
boys, had charge of the artillery at Matamoras, and
were Tor weeks together daily expecting attack
from Urea, with five times the number of Americans
at that point. This company and the gallant first
Regiment TO which it belonged had not the opportunity
of being engaged in the great battles that fought
in Mexico, but they entitled to equal honors for
their services with their brave compatriots. Why
the Journal editor should endeavor hold up the five
companies from this Congressional District as those
who with few exceptions were not in BATTLE we are
at loss to determine The Shelby, Johnson, Brown,
and Bartholomew boys, who so gloriously distn-
gushed themselves Buena Vista, viii certainly
thank Mr.. Defrees for his left handed compliments.

Gen. Taylor and the Presidency:

The following extract from letter Of Gen. Taylor
indicative Of his willingness to accept nomination
for the Presidency together with the comments of the
Washington Union and the N. 0. Bulletin, (whig,)
has been table some days. Ii would have been
published By US before this, had il not been over
slaughed" By piles of other matter We now copy
it that it can be read in connection with another
letter on the subject, from the same distinguish
ed parsonage:
From the Washington Union.
The following letter bears marks Of the "modesty
which the "New Orleans Bulletin attributes to Gen.
Tay Tor. But we hazard the remark, that it might
have been equally, if not more modest, it, casting
away all AMBITION, he had stood aside for the present.
and firmly passed the honors of an election to
one of the ''emnent and deserving" citizens, whom
he considers better qualified for so high and respon
sble station Whilst the gallant and distinguish
ed general, however ''a the doubts (as the
Bulletin supposes) to his acceptance of the nomi
nation for the Presidency, we are free 10 state with
oil respect, that this is not going far enough The
people ought to know-and a free people will never
be satisfied without knowing-how far his principles
suit them Is he democrat, or is he a wing lie
goes for ga strict observance of the constitution.
What does the General mean BY strict observance
Is be of the school of Jefferson, or Of Webster and
Clay! Does he go for national bank-for national
system of internal improvements protective or
revenue tariff-the law of 1912, or of 1916! We
have idea that the old soldier affects any mystery
upon these questions. He will scarcely pursue the
advice of his COMMITTEE of secrecy at Philadelphia
But let friend call upon him for another letter,
and let the old General come out This is what the
country have right to ask; and nothing short of this
requisition ought to satisfy an enlightened people,
who value principles more than men,"
