a direct Western outlet 10 India from America and
Europe. Tor more than three centuries an object of great
magnitude with civilized nations, is now within our
means OF accomplishment by constructing a Central Rail
way from the Mississippi river TO the Pacific Ocean.
10 and the work, a Convention of the people Of The
United States was called by a sister State 10 meet in
Memphis on The 18th July, l6i9. The ciuzens of Mem
pins hailed with delight this new enterprise, as charac-
tefIstlc ol the progressive spirit of the age, and called
for by high considerations Of National import. In Mass
Meeting, they appointed the undersigned a committee,
charged with the duty of addressing their fellow citizens
OF the United States upon this important question. In
the discharge OF the duty assigned US, we have adyerted,
IN a previous address, to such prominent advantages.
Agricultural, Manufacturing, Maritime, Military, Com
merclal and National, as To us seemed obvious, and tho
people ot1he rhot country, North, South, East and
Ness, were invited to take The question under consider
alton, and send forth their delegates to meet us in coun-
ell. lhe response To our Solicitations, coming up from
the public press Of the country, from eminent statesmen,
from distinguished citizens OF all parties, and from every
section OF The Union, and above all from the mass of the
people IN all the ) ates, was such as To justify the assump-
lon that the work can, must, and will be done. The
raw ges OF the Cholera in the South and West, in June
last, competed The postponenent of the Convention from
the 4h Of july to the 23I OF October next. We arc
happy To say that the cholera has now entirely Disappear
ed from the South and West, and the health of the coun-
Try Is completely restored. We again invoke the aid ofour
isHow-cllI2ens. We invite every town, village and ham
let IN the United States, to send forth their delegates, and
IN behalfot The citizens of Memphis, we tender TO all no
may honor us with a visit a most cordial welcome.

two seEtaUght men in Massachusetts, who are
learned, without pretsncs, and W-0y wers tasy in

wealth, would long since have been h0nCred with
the fostering attentions Of philosophers for their
distinguished attainments, as Dol,and and Eraun-
hoier were, in the same difficult, but exceedingly
important department of silence, viz: OPTICS.
One is Alvan Clarke, of Boston, miniature
painter, who has constructed several telescopes
under circumstances very unfavorab!e indeed
partly during those fractions OF time when he could
not pursue his regular vocation, but chiefly iats at
night These Instruments ara scarcely equalled,
and not surpassed by those of the most celebrated
foreign manufacturers. Mr., Clarke makes every
part with his ewn hands-gFinds and polshes the
lenses, and has astOnished those who c0mpe-
tent to appreciate the magnitude of his mechanical
achievements, in the construction OF really SPLEEN
did refractor. This, however, is only small part
of the marvel Mr.. Clarke is profoundly familiar
with the laws of light, and, with his own beauti-
full instruments, has made himself familiar with
the permanent and all the telescope objects of the
heavens as with the canvass on which he daily
ab0rs for bread. The other, equally deserving for
bis moral qualities, mechanical ingenuity and pro-
found knowledge in the same field of science, is J.
B. Allen, Of Springfield modest retiring, dsserv-
ing individual who, as in the other case, without
patron, without an instructor, and almost with
out the approving recognition of those who are re-
puted to be wise abave the multitude, has few
equals in the domain Of optics He, TOO, has fab
rieated excellent rejecting telescopes-and Il would
be an homer 70 the great town Of Springfield to pr-
chase one of them for the use of the public schools,
as the period may come when it will be boast that
Mr. Allen resided there At the late session Of the
American Association for the AdFaBcementO Of Sci

formed, he had never seen one himself before. II

IMPROVEMENT IN Rotary ENG INEs.--Several

brought to its present condition by Captain the
Hon. w. E. Fitzmsurice late of the Life Guards
and bis brother-in-iaw, Mr.. Hartford. The engine
is very simples merely consisting of tive pieces, so
mathemAtically arranged that the interior part
works in the outer with the greatest ease, being
free from dead points, and without the slightest
vibration, however great the velocity. II has no
springs or packing, and the parts meet each other
so harmoniously as only to give a humming noise
like spinningtop, and it is not in the least liable
to get out of order, the wear being perfectly uni
form throughout. The entire motion being roll
ing instead of cutting one, the engine will last
long without repair, as the surfaces become case
hardened in very short space of time. The trials
took place in the presence of several scientific gen.
tlemen and engineers of eminence In their profess
sion, IN trigates pinnace, the engine being con-
structed for the Government This boat is of 40

and yet the engine of l0-horPe power, occupying q
space Of 81 inches by inches, drove a screw-pro-
peller Of feet in diameter and feet pitch with
such velocity as to make 200 revolutions in min

principle. Although the boat was not all CalCu-
lated for speed, she was propelled against the
stream a distance of miles in 20 minutes, equal
allowing for the strength of the eurrent, to miles

than l owt. to each horse power, and requires
much less fuel than the ordinary engines and is
