PRINTING Press DRIVEN BY WATER,-The
proprietors Of the Boston Traveller drive their
printing press by water power, This is a new
thing under the sun, Through n two-nch lead
pipe, stream of Cochituate is introduced into
a meter, which only occupies twenty four square
inches, The fall of water between the Boston
reservoir and this meter is about hundred feet.
This two-uch stream will discharge eighty gal
Ions of water each minute,and in passing through
the meter will gve motive power equal to
what is callod three -horse power This is more

Mn. CALHoUs.-The Motifs Tribune. IN no.
ticing new work on Mr.. CALHoUE, gives the
following "reminiscences:
ave saw Mr. Calhoun ut the Memphis Con-
yention When he returned home from it, he
was received every where on the mississippi
river with the warmest demonstration Of affec-
tionate admiration At Natchex the boat (the
Niaria) soDpped near midnight and the Illus
trious passenger was conducted TO one Of the
halls of the city, where there was ball. Beau
tiful women and brave men were in the midst OF
the dance, when the approach OF Mr. Calhoun
was announced. Instantly the dance stopped.
lie was le into the room and surrounded by a
great multitude. Mr.. Davis, now Senator, re-
ceived him in an eulogistic speech-too eulogislic
for good taste. When he closed, Mr.. Calhoun
rose to reply, with timidity that was painful
giant hattery Of Mr. Davis. He was almost in
capable of speaking. He observed, in abrupt
language, that he was not accustomed to ad-
dress miscellaneous" audiences-and seeing
that the word was ill-chosen, substituted hete-
rogeneous," which was not much better. FL
nally, blushing like girl, he declared that he
was unaccust0med to speak unless to a fixed
topic, and so sank down to his seat in confu-
sion. There was hardly man present that
could not have acquitted himself better. The
audience, however, saw the cause Of his embar-
rassment, and the hall rang with cheers, us
though the spectators were seeking to encour-
age the confidence of school boy delivering
his maiden speech
We were once struck ut hearing Mr.. Calhoun,
in Nh animated conversation, declare that the
cone usions of impulse IRE more reliable than
those of mere intellect declaration, however,
qualified by the assertion that the impulse must
be under the guidance of intellect. In this, it
struck us at the time he announced one of the
principal causes Of his own greatness-the
source Of his almost prophetic Investigations Of
the result of public events and measures"

The mysterious letter in the Boston Atias'

1t appears that the mysterious affair that

mcnt, and which was limited at in the letter OF
Washington Correspondent of the Boston Al
las, which we copied few days ago, is nothing
more nor less thaa the charge that Mr., WEE
srER, or some one of his friends, before he
would agree to accept the Office Of Secretary
OF State, claimed that he must be remnnerated
for the business sacrifice that he would thus be
compelled 10 make, and that certain of his
friends in New York and Boston made him up
purse of $5O,OOO Well, what Of it? There
is neither bribery nor corruption here but only
a concession to the distinguished gentleman 5

ton to Mr.. WEBSTER, and he had perfect
right to accept it, if he and they deemed his
services in the post in question Of sufficient i'm
portauce to the Country. 1t was an act of pat
riotism or selishness, just as different people
view it ;-patrotsm if it had regard to the grea
interests OF the Country, las we presume it had
and selfishness, If otherwise. Daniel Webse
is altogether too old man, and bis opinions
and views on all important questions are toe
voluminouslv on record, 10 admit for momen
the idea that ne was " bribed." The SUPPOSE
ton is simply preposterous; and the man whit
INDUCES it is silly. Mr.. Allen made a fool o
himself in making lhe charge; the corrcspon
dent Of the Atlas was fool TO have anythin!
to DO with it; and it is the height of folly 70
the public attention to be occupied with
another moment. 1t is mighty small potatoes
aud we are only sorry, under the circumstance
as they "turn up that we were fool enough t
copy from the .NliS the mysterious insinua

were directed towards Mr. WEBSTER, we Shout
