cpyppAr WooL.-The narrative of Major
General Woods Campaign in Mexico, In the
wears 1916 1S47, and l848, by Francis Baylies,
lately published by Little s. Co., of Albany, is
most admirable and faithful. The author says,
that the interest which he felt in the success
and safety of General w. was increased by
family connection, and an uninterrupted friend
ship and confidential intercourse for more than
twenty years. No one can peruse its pages
without identifying his feelings with the fate OF
the hero whose campaigns are recorded, and
desiring to become familiar with every incident
of his life.
Whether regarded as one to whom our people
owe deep debt of gratitude and honor, or as a
probable candidate before the American people
for the highest Office within their gift, General
Wool occupies at this moment position of great
prominence, and the events of his adventurous
life should be made familiar to all.
We took this pamphlet into our hands with
the desire to quote from its pages some of it's
more interesting passages; but we found the
whole SO compact and connected as to present
little opportunity for the selection of portions
that could be detached with advantage
We have fought the battle of Buena Vista
over again-not that we ever fought in it or any
other in reality, but, with the aid of such de-
scriptions as are here given, it is easy to fight
II m imagination, and our sympathies carry us
along with the current of events, painful as many
of them are to contemplate.
"At about ten O'Clock on the morning of the
3d. says the writer, +" General Taylor returned
from Saltillo, bringing with him Sherman's and
Bragg's batteries, Lieutenant Colonel Mays
squadron of dragons, and the Mississippi regi-
ment; leaving behind one piece of Bsagg's bat
terry under Lieutenant Shower, and two compa-
Rodgers, to guard his camp near Saltillo. On
his arrival he was received by the troops with
enthusiastic cheers, which were also extended
to General Wool, who took occasion to pass
along the front of all the regiments and corps,
and to remind them that the day was the birth
day of Washington, the father of our country
and to say that he trusted no American soldier
would disgrace it. The soldiers felt the force
of the appeal, and responded to it with three
enthusiastic cheers. The associations of mem
DRY, like the electric fire in the wires of the
telegraph, ran in an instant from the wild defle
in the Mexican mountains to the quiet and
beautiful lawns of Mount Vernon. The name
of Washington, which cheers in every country
the heart Of Americans, ran along the lines.
The influence of heroic names is always felt.
With Americans the name of Washington is
spell which opens the way to victory and glory;
and that name nerved the hearts Of our soldiers,
shut up as they were among the mountains in
the snemy's country, and encompassed by the
direst perils of war. The name of Washington,
in laundering tones, rang through the valley,
and was echoed from the mountains"

We have recently perused newspaper printed
in Philadelphia during the administration of
John Adams, in which we read an account Of a
visit made by that gentleman to his home in
Massachusetts without pomp, parade or display.
There were no public demonstrations; and at
Boston, when troop was in readiness to escort
him, the quietness and privacy of his arrival
prevented their knowing any thing about II
until he had left the city. The editor speaks Of
this as happy exemplifcaton of the workings
Of republicanism, and contrasts it with the vain
pageants and fulsome laudations attending the
journeys of monarchs through their realms
We are relapsing. A President cabinet Of
fcer, prominent Senator, or great military COM
mander, cannot lose sight of the smoke from
his own chimney without being prosecuted with
honors and kindness in form in which he can
not repel them, and yet-if he is not among the
vainest Of men--in such manner as he would re-
joice to see omitted.
We think that the comfort and satisfaction O
the honized would be promoted by doing away
with these things as far as possible; that th'
true feelings of respect for the great and worthy
men of the nation would not be impaired there
by; and that man-worship, whether Of warriors
or statesmen, could be dispensed with without
detriment 10 the cause of true republicanism
or, at least that whenever our public men de
sire to travel in private manner they may b
permitted to do so, and that demonstrations
reserved for the occasions upon which they ar
invited with reference TO that object.

New MOTIVE PowER.-Mr. IL. Stuart, Of New
York, in note to the Tribune, speaks Of this
invention, and thinks it likely to supersede
steam is q motive power. He says: "After a
heightened series Of experiments, during
period Of more than eight years, originating in
suggestion made on seeing common spin
ming top in motion, the inventors have sue
ceeded in arranging an engine so as to secure
the full effective action of atmospheric pressure
to any extent as motor, without exhaustion,
| in connexion with centrifugal force"
al have" (says Mr.. S. " in connection with
some of our most scientific mathematicians and
mechanics, through the politeness of the inven-
tors, had the privilege of examining their dia-
grams and calculations, and have no hesitation
iii saying that complete demonstration attends
every step of their progress in this very simple
and most perfect invention. Instead of trying to
cheat leverage and gravitation, they combine
gravity pressure and centrifugal force, in the
same manner as they act in nature to produce
rotation in matter; recognizing both as indie
pendent and available principles on forces acting
at right angles with each other, in the ratio of
the square Of their velocity; the centrifugal
force being evolved from rotation without taxing
produce motion, but to perpetuate vacuum
which is but the measure of power, gravity, or
pressure, being the propelling power acting on
quicksilver or any other liquid-the power of the
vacuum being equal to the pressure created,
whatsoever that may be-"
We have, we confess, more confidence in
the success Of the experiments Of Professor
Page, to substitute electromagnetic for steam,
than in the new invention examined by Mr..
Stuart. But this is an age Of invention
and discovery, and human ingenuity may yet
be able so to combine and arrange the
elements as to initiate the motive power by
which the planetary system is governed, and
thus produce perpetual motion. Although with
out pretensions to scientific knowledge, we feel
an interest in all discoveries which give promise
Of benefit to mankind, and should be glad to see
