"The Richmond Wing notices an invention
by Mr. Solomons, of Cincinnati, of what he
calls perfect substitute for steam. From
common whiting, sulphuric acid, and water
he obtains carbon in the gaseous state and
with the power exerted by the gas, he asserts
that he now drives twenty-five horse engine,
and for one-fortieth the expense of steam, lifts
and lets fall $4,000 pounds, five times in
minute. This fluid, without any heat applied at
all, exerts pressure of $40 pounds to the
square inch, while water in the same unheated
state has no pressure but that of gravity."--Sa-
rannah Netos. r
We have seen several other notices of this
alleged invention.
The gas generated by mixture of whiting
and sulphurc acid is not " carbon in its gaseous
state" It is almost tho reverse of tit is car
bonic acid gas. II may if confined while gener-
ating it, exert pressure of two thousand
pounds to the square inch, instead of five hun
dred and forty. But this pressure is not avail
able for power without letting the gas escape,
and it is too expensive to be used in that way.
This gas becomes liquid at pressure four hun
dred and fifty pounds per square inch, and we be-
lieve at temperature of 80 degrees, Fahrenheit
And when thus iquifed, it expands in much
greater ratio, as the temperature is raised, than
almost any other substance. And hence it has
often been supposed that it might be used with
economy as a motive power. But the question
is, how much actual fuel is required to raise this
fluid to given temperature And this depends on
its specific heat. Now, it may, and we have no
doubt will, require much greater quantity of
fuel to raise this liqui6ed gas few degrees, than
the increased power is worth. And besides, n
substance worked at such an enormous pres
sure, is too dangerous. A slight flaw in the
boiler or vessel containing it, would expose all
concerned to destruction.
We see it stated that the engine of Mr. Solo.
MONS is worked with less fuel than others. Yes,
but let us know how much fuel is consumed,
and how much poweris produced The engines
at Cincinnati are all high pressure,and very few of
them are constructed to economic fuel, which
is there quite cheap.

RESOLUTIONS.

RESOLUTIONS.
ReaLyed, That the Convention repre-
sentiug the Democratic State Rights par
tv of Mississippi re-afirms the following
truths announced, and poIicy indicated by
the Convention called by the people OF the
State of Mississippi, ia which the two po-
Iitjcal parties Of the State were equally re-
presented, and which assembled in the city
of Jackson on the second Monday of Octo-
Der l649.
81. That we continue to entertain de-
voted and cherished attachment to the Un-
ion, but we desire to have it as it was FORM
ed, and not as an engine OF oppression.
2. That the institution of slavery in the
Southern States left, by the Constitution,
exclusively under the control OF the States
in which it exists, as part OF their domes-
tic policy which they, and they only, have
the right to regulate, abolish or perpetuate,
as they may severalIy Judge expedlent; and
that all attempts on the part OF Cungress,
or others, to interfere with this subject either
directly or indirectly, are in violation oil the
constitution, dangerous to the rights and
safety of the South, and ought to be prompt
ly resisted.
8. That Congress has no power to pass
any law abolishing slavery in the District
of Columbia, or to prohibit the slave trade
between the several States, or to prohibit
the Introduction of slavery into the terrlto'
ries of the United States; and that the pas
sage by Congress of any such law, would
not only be dangerous violation OF the
constitution, but would afford evidence OF 9
fixed and deliberate design IN the part of thai
body, to interfere with the institution o
slavery IN the States.
4. That we would regard the passage
by Congress, of the Wilmot proviso,
(Which would, in effect, deprive the citlzen
OF the slaveholding States of an equal par
ticipation in the territories acquired equal!
by theii blood and .treasure,) as an unjus
and insulting disctimination--to which thes'
States cannot, without political degradation
submit; and 20 which this convention, rep
resen:ing the feelings and opinions of th'
people of Mississippi, solemnly declare the.
will not submit.
D. That the passage of the Wilmot pro
ylso, or of any law abolshing slavery in tn,
District Of Columbia by the Congress o
me United States, would, of itself, be sucl
aoreach of the federal compact as, in tina
eVent, viii make it the duty, as it is tn

oh am blessed, said mother fond
care not for garish gold;
Not for the wealth of worlds would | give
One sweet lamb of my fold.
Oh am blessed with a clustering group
Of precious little gems,
And would not part with single one
For a host of dladems
Oh am blessed said marden fair,
One thought of one heart alone:
Which possess. | would barter not
For gorgeous, gittering throne:
Oh | am blessed with rays OF love
From deep and charmed eyes,
And would not part with single glance
For the light of vaulted skies
Oh am blessed said a gay, sweet child,
And she clapped her hands in giee,
And she laughed all loud in her merry mirtt
Her. pretty birds to see:
Oh am blessed, not one I'd give
For every tree or flower
That ever grew upon the earth
Or twn,ed ronnd the bower.
And am blessed said hollow tone,
Your treasurers for me bloom;
will not bribe, but I'll NOV them down
To deck my charnel tomb:
And a ghaStly hand swift swung the scythe,
And the cherubs one by one
We're stricken down, but Death shrunk not
At the deed he had done.
But travelled on, and he reached the heart
Whose every thought was dear;
And the maiden prayed in agony,
But he needed not her prayer
He threw his icy shaft, and it froze
CONCEALED each tender thought:
He quenched the rays Of light and love,
Then onward more work sought.
He saw the child and he saw the birds
All carroling and gay
lie breathed chilly, bhthing breath
Then hied him on his way:
Not done, not done, said the hollow tone,
III come again to ye;
Ay am btessed-your treasurers falr
But hve and bloom for me
