INDIA RUBBER CAR SPRINGS.

Who that has been jclled and made dizzy in
the best cars over the smoolheSl railroads, will
not rejoice TO hear oil an invention which is ex.
pected to remove this Inconvenience 10 lravel-
lers India rubber, which under lhe plastic hand
OF Yankee ingenuity has been made to play SO
important part in domestic economy. has al
last been successfully applied 10 secure The great
desideralum. The improvement is said 10 rank
among The important inventions Of This inventive
age. We extract an Interesting sketch from The
N. Y. American Artisan
l! is the application of Goodyesrs PREPARED In
dia Rubber as substitute for steel springs in
railroad cars locomotives and tenders and o her
carriages end buting and drawing springs. On
IL eighteen 10 ftreniuue pounds OF rubber ale used
in place OF 1000 pounds Of steel springs The
saving oil The expense OF transporting The weight
alone constitutes il great invention. Indeed,
The paenlee has offered 10 supply railroad COM
panies with Lis improved springs, and lieepIhem
in repair without charge, provided they will pay
him The annual saring OF expense in The mere
transportation Of difference IN The rubber and
steel springs. The improvement is very simple
and easily applied 10 locomotives and CARS. IL
breaks all The connection r: hard materials, wood
and steel, between lie body and The trucks, and
thereby prevents that constant trembling and jar
ring motion that renders The car, ,.aisy and I'M
pleasant. The cars glide along evenly and noise
lessy, enabling The passengers 10 read, and caus-
ing less wear and tear 10 The ears. A weight Of II
ions on spring Of ounces in weight caused it
10 yield only halt an inch and an additional
weight, supposed TO be upwards Il hundred
ions, made il yield one and a quarter inches. On
The weights being removed The rubber spring re-
sumed its original dimensions without The least
sign OF an effect having been produced. This
small spring was next placed on an anvil, and
with sledge as heavy as We could raise, no other
effect was produced Than to endanger its being
thrown over our head by The rebouniing force VI
the spring. In the hands ofone more sturdy. blows
SO heavy as 10 make The anvil ring By reducing
the spring 10 so thin layer, could not diminish
The elastic power. BY the use Of additional springs
with intervening iron plates, spring motion Of !
10 or more inches may be ohta incd. The dura-
hility Of This rubber spring is doubtless far great
or than that OF steel. Il is in Use on TWO roads,
and preparations are making 10 extend lis intro
dnction. This invention increases the value OF
Mr.. Goocyear's patent-a very considerable sum
having been secured Tor The privilege Il using il
in the improvement. Application may I've made

THE CROPS.-Since our last notice. say
within The last three weeks, (says The Charleston
Mercury, the weather and The crops in this State
have experienced considerable change. The
rains have been very heavy until about ten days
ago, when they Stacked off a good deal-in The
interior, We understand, more than in the lower
country, where there has been greatly TOO much
rain. The consequence has been that until the
partial cessation OF The wet weather, the crops
were mol worked, and The grass grew upon Them
TO most alarming extent The cotton was most
injured. The grain has not been injured 10 any
great extent In fact, while the coon is every.
where backward and inferior, the corn is almost
as universally The finest known for long Sc
ries OF years. We have seen gentlemen who have
traversed Richland, Newbery, Union, Spartan.
burg, York, Chester, Fairfield, and Ktrshaw
and Orangeburg, and have heard extensively from
other districts and il is from their reports We form
our statement. In short, we are decidedly OF OPT
MON that The Grain crop is 10 be an unusually
abundant one in all parts OF the State; embracing
in that crop wheat, oats. corn and rice. The cot
ton crop is not likely, except under the most IA
vCrabe seasons from now IL the end, and very
late frost, 10 be even an ordinary average. The
probabilities are, that il will be much below an
average; while there is possibility that, with
very favorable seasons and late frost, mode
rate average crop may be realized.
The districts Of Fairfield, Richland, Kershaw,
Chester, Lancaster, York and Union, have pro-
baby suffered most. The more Western districts
have Jared something better.
We hear much the same reports Of the state of
The crops from Georgia and Alabama. The
crops further south may be better; but In all
places Cotton is month later than usual.
On the whole, crop of more than the last
