HRIcssoN,s cALoRic ENGINE.

This new engine, which, if successful,
VIII IN measure supersede the steam engine
and effect another revolution in motive
power throughout the world, already at
tracts considerable attention. Two en-
gines one of sixty and the other OF five
horse power have been constructed in New
York, intended for ship now building in
that city, and which from experiment, pro-
misses 10 be eminenty successful.
The principle which forms the basis OF
the Caloric Engine, is that oi returning the
heat at each stroke of the piston, and using
it over and over again. This is obviously
impossible il steam is employed as the act
ing medium. Captain Ericsson therefore
employs the atmospheric air. The object
which he has accomplished is simply this
that the heat contained in the air which
escapes from the working cylinder is etfec-
tually taken up by the air which enters it
at each stroke o! the engine. This result
Captain Erricson has accomplished BY
means Of an apparatus which be styles
regenerator; and SO perfectly does it oper-
ate, that the heat employed in first setting
the engine in motion continues TO sustain If
in full working force, with no other renew
al or addition than may be requisite to sup
ply the nconsiderable loss by radiation
This remarkable invention was first brought
before the scientific world in London in
the year 1888, though it had then been a
iavorite subject ofspeculation and reflection
with its inventor for many years.

A Benencent Movement.

We call the attention of our readers to notice
which appears in our columns this evening of
meeting to be held for the purpose of organizing
YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN UNION ASSOCIATION.
Its object is to concentrate the influence Of the
moral and religious young men of this city, and
to provide the means Of introducing young men,
when they first come among us, to such compan-
ionship as shall shield them from temptation and
promote their moral, intellectual, and religious
improvement. 1t is an excellent object, and one
peculiarly needed in this city. Great benefits
have been already experienced from the estab-
lishment Of similar institutions in the cities Of
the North. 1t is proposed also that q library
and reading-room be established, to which ad-
mission will be given on the payment of an an
nual subscription.
We trust that the young men who have un-
dertaken this work may tomorrow evening be
encouraged by large attendance and warm
support.
1t occurs to US to suggest also that some Of The
elders should attend this meeting, to give the
young men the encouragement of their approval
and the benefit of their advice; and to add, too,
that some of the young gentlemen who arc in
terested in this object are by no means disposed
to admit that they have ceased to be young by
being married. Though they have passed through
the period of life's most auring temptations, the
memory of the dangers in the path they have
trodden, and their gratitude at having passed the
ordeal unscathed arc too fresh and vivid to per-
init them to repose in indifference to the fate Of
those who are entering upon that career of temp
tation and danger

Burglars, Bewareg

Some nights ago. the house Of Mrs. Thompson
in F, near Fourteenth street, was entered through
the basement, and robbed of many valuable arti-
cles. But, not satisfied with first successful
foray, on Sunday night the maraudcrs again set
to work. They had climbed over a rear wall,
and were apparently in the full tide Of successful
experiment, when their nerves must have been
somewhat shaken by one or two discharges from
superior specimen Of Colts revolvers Luck
lily no one was killed, though, from the blood
traced along the pavements and across the wall,
some "buman'' must have been badly hurt.
The Inequalities of our city are warming up for
these fellows-burglars, incendaries, and dcs-
peradoes of every name and kind-and they had
better abandon their vile, and now dangerous
practices, or some of them may perish in their
attempts. When the arm Of the law proves
powerless to protect our homes, the rights of re-
sistance and vengeance begin.

General Franklin Pierce.

At moment when many sections of the United
States, but especially the West and Northwest
are whitening under the stepmother protection
extended to them by the general government, it
is unfortunate for the Democratic party that they
have selected as their candidate gentleman
whose whole legislative career gives assurance Of
his inveterate opposition to every possible mea-
sure of relief. Our quotations from the Republic
yesterday were ample in assurance of this fact !;
and that journal to-day establishes its positions
by copious extracts from the record. This is a
fine story with which to 60 before the people.
The Union of this morning says that the Bal
timore Convention has given the party ga candi-
date for the Presidency-one who has no untor-
tundte dntecedents, prejudices to overcome, no
disappointed competitors to reconcile and no
sectional hostJities TO aSSudge." The Union has
spoken too fast. The antecedents Of its candi-
date are very unfortunate both for him and for his
country; and as the Union assures us that " he
is known to be upright, steadfast, and firmly
grounded in the vital, the fundamental princi-
'ples of Democracy" and as the Union Of course
recognises his opposition to the improvement of
our rivers, lakes, and barbors, as in perfect ac-
cordance with " the vital and fundamental prin-
ciples of Democracy" we have an earnest of his
future, should he be placed in the chair Of the
President. His idea of government is that Of
n creature to which tribute shall be paid, and
that has no duty to perform promotivc of the
public veal.
1t is very manifest that such President is not
adapted to the present times, and that the people
of the United States arc perfectly well convinced
of this fact

Col. ScHoULER is on a visit to the metropolis.
There is no Wing from any section of the coun-
try who will inquire, Who is Col. Schouler? His
fame, acquired as the editor Of that distinguished
journal, the Boston Atlas, as an enlightened mem
Der for several years Of the legislature Of Massa-
chusetts, and as q thrilling orator before popular
assemblies, is known to his compatriots every
where. But the high mental powers possessed by
the Colonel are not the only claim he has upon
the esteem of his brother Wings his heart is
warm and generous, and beats high for his friends
North South, East, and West Colonel S. is en-
Enthusiastically in favor Of the nomination and
election of Gen. Scott, and he exerts all his in
fuence against the agitation Of the subject which
has so long disturbed the country. Agitation, he
thinks, should be suppressed, and the great party
of which he is an influential and patriotic mem
ber should cease all inharmonous action, and array
themselves in fraternal band to successfully
combat error and promote the welfare and glory
Of the entire country.
