ANOTHER STEAM SAW MILL.-1t is
now a settled fact, in view of the conven-
fence of getting pine logs, the facilities
for securing them in the boom above
town, the convenience of obtaining all
fneedful material for operating mills, the
well established superiority of steam
over water, as motive power, and above
all, by the extensive market here afforded
for lumber, that St. Paul is pre-eminently
the place for saving logs-the best place
for all wooden manufactures, on the Mis-
sissippi river. Satisfied fully of this
fact, by experience, Charles H. Cakes
and Company, will proceed at once to
build here, another fine large steam saw
mill, which will make four large mills,
all just built, with plenty of logs and a
quick market. The chance for twenty
more steam saw mills here, is equally
good. Steamboats, from below, discharg-
ing freight here, will always be glad 10

THE BEN H. CAMpBELL.-!n describ-
ing this boat heretofore, we have relied
on data which exaggerated her dimensions
in some particulars, and failed to do them,
justice in others. Speaking by the card,
we find her dimensions as follows:
Length from stem to stern, 1877 feet;
length of keel, $50 feet; breadth of
main deck % l-2 feet; breadth of beam,
20 l-2 feet; depth of hold, 5 10 feet;
number of boilers, 3 length of boilers,
"a feet; diameter of boilers, 40 inches
length of stroke, 6 feet :; diameter OF
wheels, 26 feet; length of buckets, 10
feet; diameter Of cylinders, 10 inches.
The main error i'll the previous des--
cripiion, was putting down the cylinders
at diameter Of Is instead of 10 inches;
a very important matter. Old steamboat
men shook their heads, when they noticed
the disproportion between the size of the
wheels and that of the cylinders. A
twenty-siX foot wheel and an Is inch
cylinder, they said, would be like putting
fast horse into heavy chaise, and ex-
pect him TO make mile inside of 2.4O.
Let us see how important an inch in di-
ameter is, to pistron head driving the
crank, and through that the wheel of a
steamboat. ''Circ!es are to each other as
the squares of their diameters :" and the
power excrted on the heads of piston
rods Is and 10 inches respectively, in d.
ameter, would not be as Is to l9, but as
the square of Is is to the Square of 10.
Now the square Of Is is 1924, and the
square of 10 is 36l. The number of
square inches on the head of a piston rod
Is inches across, is 254 1-2, and the,
number of square inches on the head of
a piston rod 10 inches in diameter, is
2o3 1-2; giving difference Of 20 square
inches. Now, if the engine is working
under pressure of 100 pounds of steam
to the square inch, more or less, then
there will be 20 hundred pounds, more or
less, of power, according to the pressure.
expended, twice TO a revolution of each
wheel, than it her cylinders were Is in

something, as the reader will conclude.

larry in those days, and the entire work,
involving the expenditure of thousands Of
dollars, had 10 be executed upon private
means and credit. The whole amount
ecessary TO purchase stock and pay for
mechanical labor, had TO come out of the
individual purses of citizens of the Ter
ritory. And we would merely ask Mr..
Whittlesey, Of the Treasury Department,
to think Of all this, as he casts his eyes
over the neatly executed and voluminous
pages of our Revised Statutes. Does he
not think we have done well for small
community, without his aid?
But the new code is now in the hands
of the people; and with the amendments
adopted by the late Legislature, made
necessary by the want of time TO thor
oughly complete it during the former ses-
sion, we are willing it should go forth
and encounter the criticism of the whole
legal world. 1t is something Of which
Minnesota should be proud, and proud Of
the men who, under the most trying DIFF
ficullies, labored together for over two
years 10 rear the now beautifully finished
structure. If the present party in pow
err here had done nothing else since the
organization of the Territory, to merit the
confidence and lasting gratitude Of the
people, this one work alone should be
sufficient. No other Territory has ever
given its people SO wise, practical and
valuable code of laws. But this is not
all that has been done TO give Minnesota
an elevated position in the scale of politl-
cal communities, and to place her on the
sure road to future prosperity and renown'
At another time we will continue this

GEN. WOOL.

This gentleman is named by some Of The
leading Democrats Of the country, as their
first choice for the Presidency. The
General appears to be following in the
wake Of Buchanan, in bidding high for
Southern votes. The extreme views Of
the South are hostile to Kossuth to such a
degree that they can see no merit in the
cause he pleads, or in the burning elo-
quence in which he enforces his ideas.
We may not agree with Kossuth in many
particulars, but personal abuse of the man
is beneath any one claiming the least
spark of American feeling. Gen. Wool,
in recent letter, in which, by the way,
there are some good things we'll and time
ly said, allows his extreme Southern SER
Witty so far to get the better of his judy
ment as to compare the great Magyar to

Yelled Prophet of Khorassan. The demon
