which appears to more perfect than
Elisha Hale's Rotary Pump.
To this machine we earnestly invite the attention
of the public because have the opinion of able
and scientific man to back our own judgment of It's
value and importance. This invention. unlike many
others made only to fleece the public, without any
good quality to recommend them, and finding pur-
chasers merely account of their novelty, is one
which will speak for ITSELF it being simple, not
withsandng the variety of it is capable of being
applied to. that any person understand it's opera
ton.
Messrs. Cook g. HUM have in operation at the
Palmer House, and also model of the same, by
which it be thoroughly examined. For the bene-
fit of those who will not probably see it, we will give
short outline of its capabilities. This machine is
the Rotary principle, and to mind effectually
solves the problem Of thus applying power. 1t was
patented little less than three years since.
The patentee sets forth five different to which
it is applicable, viz: as a Pump, Fire Engine. Water
Wheel, Ventator for Mines Factories, and a
Steam Engine. And we can conceive Of other uses,
with very triaing additions. They are thus noted.
As Pump. suitable for dwellings, it will raise
thirty gallons of water minute, with the power of
child only applied. With twice that power, eighty
gallons minute. With horse power, 500 to
1000 gallons minute One with wheel of five
feet, 100000 gallons minute.
Fire Engine constructed on this plan, with half
the number of men usually required. would be far
effective than any in use; capable IF throw
ing a much greater quantity Of water longer dis
tance, with one fourth part of the exertion.
As Wafer Wheel, it must when generally under
stood, be adopted. especially where water is scarce,
rs it is worked both by the entering and departing
water.
As Ventator, it is peculiarly adapted either for
ships or mnes, and easily be fitted a blower
for furnaces, &c.
As Rotary Steam Engine. The introduction of
sliding valves renders its perfectly satisfactory IN
this respect, and all tests have proved.
Another consideration is the veay small space occu-
pied by the machine. They are of course made of
different sizes, according to the use for which they
may be intended; and they be easily constructed
and not likely easily to get out of repair. We
have not TO give detailed description of its
construction, and would again urge every one to
give it an examination. Messrs. Cook & HUM will
take pleasure n exhibiting it and explaining it par
ticuary. They have sold the rights for ten of the
small northern counties, are informed and are
desirous of selling the balance of the Saie either as
whole or by districts. Having desire to return
east, they will remain for few days for the purpose
of receiving applications.
From what we have heard here, there is no doubt
but it would be profitable and satisfactory invest
ment; for we have been told that numbers Of the
pumps could be sold once. had the agents made
preparations 10 sell them. Remember, at the Palmer
House it is to be seen.
STATE AUDIToR.-By reference to another column,
it will be that DIR. E. w. H. ELLIS is announced
rs candidate for the Office of Auditor of State.
That there will be change in that department, we
believe is generally understood And while we freely
award TO the present incumbent high merit, at least
so far have had connection with the Office and
one against whom but few if any complaints : i've
been made during his term, we know that he is too
old and able politician, and familiar with party
tactics, not to expect to be displaced or to find fault
in case he sb ,ud be- We therefore hope he will see
the of political ways and join the true De-
mocratic party.
In all probability there will be than one can
ddate for the several Offices which the Legislature
has to act. And we do hope that among them all,
there may prevail the true Democratic sprit-thai
each will yield TO the will of the majority
In the case of DR.. Ellis, may say that we feel
satisfied that he will be the last one to do augh to
the harmony of the party. to occasion discord
Like all others, he has the right present his
name, and ask for office. And that he is qualified
none will doubt. We have known him long, aud as

According to present Indications, Gen. Taylo
