A New Wonder.

Mr.. Soloman, scientific gentleman of
Cincinnati, has invented a new locomotive
and propetling power, which is in q fair way,
ifrcport be correct, of supercccding the COM
mon motive power altogether:
Con Monday last the engine was kept in
operation during the day, and hundreds Of
spectators witnessed and were Gstonishcd
at its success.
The motive power is obtained by the gen.
Grafton and expansion, by heat Of oarbonic
acid gas. Common whiting, sulphuric acid,
and water, are used in generating this gas,
and the boiler, in which these component
parts are held, is similar in shape and size
to a common bomb-shell. A small furnace,
about the size Of Dodd's Parodi Hats, with
handful of ignitcd charcoal, furnishes the
requisite heat for propelling this engine of25
horse power. The relative power Of steam
and carbonic acid is thus stated; Water at
the boiling point gives a pressure Of fifteen
pounds to the square inch. With the addi-
tion OF 30 dcgs. of heat the power is double
giving thirty po,mdS-aud so on doulliag
with every addition 30 dogs. of heat, until
we have 1910 pounds under heat Of 45z
dcgrces-a heat which no engine can endure
But with the carbon 20 degrees Of heal
above the boiling point, give 1850 pounds
10 degrees give 2l6O pounds; 50 degree.
1920 pounds; that is 4S0 pounds greater
power with this gas, than four hundred anC
fifty one degrees of heat give by converting
water into steam.
Not only does this invention multiply pow
er definitely, but it reduces the expense t.
a mere nominal amount. The item for fue
for a first class steamer, between Cincin
natl and New Orleans; going and returning
= is between $1,000 and $l2O0; whereas s.
will furnish the material for propelIing tn
boat the same distance by carbon. Attach
ed to the new engine is also an apparrtu
for condensing the gas after il has paSse
through the cylinders, and returning it agai
to the starting place, thus using it over an
over, and allowing none to escape.
While the engine was in operation o
Monday, it lifted a weight Of $4,000 pound
, up the distance of five feet perpendicular
five times every minute. The weight wa
pnt on by way Of experiment, and does b
no means indicate the full power Of tn
engine,
Mr.. Soloman will Immediately commend
the construction of another engine on I'll
same principle, of $50 horse power. W
expect to see steam entirely superseded /
carbon, in the course of few years, for l.
ocmotive and mechanical purposes,

TENNESSEE HAS SPoKEN!-The contest
is over and here is the result:
Wing Governor-Whig Senate-Whig
House of Representatives-Whig Legisla-
ture on jont ballot, and one Congressman
gained. Though we have not full returns, yet
we have enough to know that l6 Wing SEN
ators are elected, which gives majority Of
seven in the Senate. We are sure ofthirty-
nine Wing Representatives, with amajori-
ty of three-two doubtful counties to hear
from-the majority may possibly yet be in
creased. Gen. Campbell's majority for
Governor seems now likely to be from if-
teen hundred to eighteen hundred. This is
decisive. And thus, Tennessee has fairly
aligned herself in the column of States
pledged earnestly to sustain the great Fina
Settlement Of the Slavery issues! The Ian
g,nge inscribed upon her banner, and which
is sent rushing on the wings of the wind
with her peons of victory, to the extreme
North and the extreme South, is plainly this

How MANY MILES A PRINTER's HAND
rRAvELs.-Though printer may be setting
all day, yet in his own way he is great
traveller, Cor at least his hand is as we
shall prove. a good printer viii set 5000
ems day, or about $4,000 letters. The
distance travelled over by his hand viii aver
age about one foot per letter, going 10 the
boxes in which they are contained, and of
course returning, making two feet for eve
ry letter he sets. This would make a dis
tance each day of 10000 feet, or a little
more than nine miles; and in the course Of
the year, leaving out Sundays, that member
travels about 5000 miles.

Friendship.

Every man rejoices twice when he has a
partner his joy; friend shares my sor-
row and makes it but moiety; but he swells
my joy and makes it double. For as two
channels divide the river and lesson into riv-
ulets, and make it fordable and apt to be
drunk up by the first revels of the Siriar
star; but two torches do not divide but in
crease the flame; and, though my tears are
the sooner dried up, when they run on my
friends cheek in the furrows Of compassion,
Jet, when my flame hath kindled his lamp,
we unite the glories and make them radient,
like the golden candlesticks that burn before
the throne of God, because they shine by
numbers, by unions, and considerations oi
light and joy.-Jeremy Taylor.

the white society of Washington-but especially
the white ladies-will encourage the efforts Of Mr.

nothing but thick lips, curly hair, crooked legs,
