"Traveller" would reply, that newspaper con-
troversy is at all times unpleasant, but sometimes
becomes necessary. II certainly is true that Cap
tain Guy left the Phenix because she ,rorn out
and behind the times; the repairs made to the hull
,oere exceedingly small ,chen last hauled up and her
timbers were much decayed. There is plenty Of
evidence to prove this, if necessary. 1t would be
very singular indeed if any boat could run four
teen years without being thoroughly overhauled.
The question is, when last repairing was it not
temporary? Ask Mr.. Goodhand. For months past,
efforts have been making to get stock taken in a
new boa. for the river route, with no success, SO
far as Alexandria is concerned, because they do
not believe it will pay; and it was believed that
the object of the owners of the Phenx, who were
the only persons who were moving in the matter,
was to work off the Phenix engine, and in that
way relieve them from heavy loss, which
otherwise would probably be the case. About
the repeated applications to put the Phenix on
the route again after the bridge broke, in con.
sequence Of the high charge for transportation of
the same that previously made, and what was
charged by the Phenix when running alone. 1t is
presumed the real cause was that 1t became neccs-
sary, in the opinion of the Washington proprietor,
to establish h,s tpha, and the opportunity was
gcry availed of to induce the Alexandria proprie-
tor to consent to run. The Washington proprietor
could readily afford to lose something to accom- y
pnen tnls--ne AiexahoIld proprietor Couio pay nis
losses in "reuenge." .atE ..'..-
Itis known Ihat every effort was made to get
certificate from Mr.. Goodhand-one was prepared
and carried to him to sign-that she was in as good
condition in her hull any boat the route; that
is, boat fourteen years old was good az boat
DID, and another too years old this he would
not sign. He then carried to the collector, and
was willing to give temporary certificate to
oblige, but the collector would receive it unless
he would certify her soundness, and in the words
OF the law. This he declined. About the discove-
ry being made that he no inspector at all-if
he is not inspector, why did the collector receive
his certificate Of the condition Of the ferry. boat?
Finding nothing else to be done, one-third Of
her was transferred to the Washington proprietors
clerk; and application was made to Judge Cranch
to appoint another inspector OF huIls in Washing
ton, although there was already one or two there,
and not the slightest necessity for more. The
Harrington prop, ietors foreman was appointed in
spector, and at once granted the required certih-
cate; but was it q proper certificate! Mr..
Goodhand not willing to certify she was sound,
and If not sound, che not in good condition, nor
sea ,covhy 10 cannot be distorted any tcay.
The only thing said about the Phenx boiler was
that the master was the inspector, and the law
needed amendment badly, so that q more disinter-
estcd party could certify. sh
Without pursuing the subject further, remain,
&C., "TRAVELLEK."

fhe Federal Union and Governor Cobb.

fine Federal Union and Governor Cobb.
This disunion Journal 'has with rleasure' "the
desire on the part Of Governor Cobb to reconcile
the feuds in the party" just as we expected, in
less than another moon the Federal Uxion will
embrace Governor Cobb of the right stripe.
"The cohesive ties OF public plunder' are of bind
ing force. We will soon see the beautiful work :
ings of Locofocosm. The Southern Rights men
who have cursed Governor Cobb for acting with
the Whigs In resisting his own party, have got to
take him back as leader. The pill is a bitter
one We know. but It has got to be taken. 1t will
be taken. Mark that. We have often heard il
said Of late that Governor Cobb would soon be laid
aside-that the Wings would never support him
that he was the most unpopular man In Georgia.
To all this we say, We understand the workings oil
Democracy differently and better. That ina
ory Of the party has abused him, is true but that
that same majority will rally around him, and
support him, il equally true.
When brother Burke calls the roll again. he will
find the Federal Union in the ranks. This new
arrangement will furnish the Fire enters with a
very popular leader. Governor Cobb is the very
man for the crisis.

II ia the peculiar feature OF the economy OF these
machines that they are found capable OF crushing
and pulverizng into the finest powder any amount
the amount Of weigh: or power applied, The earthly
matter s completely ground and pulverlzed,
that the gold may be easily separately aud subject
ed to any process Of amalgamation that uay DO ne

The machines work and deliver wet or dry. as
may be required, and with little friction, (be-
ing almost without machinery,) requiring no lu-
brcating; the princip9ic upon which they operate
precludes the possibility Of their being put out OF
order; nor do they heat any material while being
pulverized. They are at once applicable for all
purposes of grinding and pulverizing, from those
required by the DRUGGISTS to those Of the post
extensive Operations in California and Australia.
These machines are from two to twelve feet in
diameter, with balls spheres from three inches to
I've feet In diameter. each machine weighing from
$50 pounds to 20 tons each, and cold, with the
right to use them. at from $100 to $4,000 each.
They can be worked by steam, water horse, or
manual power, according to their size; and, By
changing the velocity and proportioning the
weight on the top of the balls any desired amount
Of power may be used, from that OF a man or horse
upward. Mg. f Lsaea N
