BBLrMoRE, May lO.-In Congress, today,
the Senate adopted resolution in favor of
indemnifying those Spaniards who lost pro-
perry in the riots at New Orleans. The Def
cheney Bill was taken up, and Senator Jones
continued the debate against the amendment
in favor of granting aid to the Collins Line
of steamers. In the House of Representa-
tives the Homestead Bill was under discus
sion.
Mr.. Webster has met with an accident, but
is not seriously injured. He will address the

John Forsyth, Esq, the editor of the Co.

az" A gentleman writing from Washing
ton, says: "Mr. Mangum has authority to call
meeting of the Wing members for the pur-
pose of reply to the address of the eleven
Southern members who withdrew from the
caucus of the Goth. But it is understood
that he will not do it, but that he will himself,
as President of the caucus, make reply.
The friends of Gen. Foote as candidate
for the Presidency state that he will soon
issue a letter explaining his position on the
compromise measures in manner that will
be satisfactory to the Southern Wings"

RARIJN GAP ROAD.

A writer over the signature of "W," in
Brownlow's Knoxville Wing, of the 9Th
inst, takes exception to our table Of dis
tances on the several proposed routes for the
Rabun Gap Road. avs" review of our ar
ticle is in gentle and good spirit, and we
honor him for it. He does not seem to wish
to mislead, and he gives us credit for the same
virtue. Our object is the same, and ice will
not fall out with him by the way. He, nor
any other citizen of Maryville, need feel SEN
sitive or flare up on account of our adyo-
cacy, or for presenting our views in regard to
this great enterprise. We are in favor of
having the road made 10 KnOruiHe by Mary
uille, as ,ceH as extended topardS Chattanooga.
This was the purport and meaning of our
former articles, rs "W" will see by close in
spection. We advocate the middle route as
the one best suited to effect the ends in view.
And our views are not changed by avs"
review. He and ourself disagree very little
rs to distances, when he comes to under
stand us properly. Our estimate of the dis
tances on the Tennessee river route from
Rabun Gap to Knoxville, taken principally
from Judge Earle's report, makes l39 miles.
'W" gives the distance at 1875 miles, making
IA miles less than we estimate. Perhaps we
are as near correct as he. We did not pre-
tend to be eractly correct, but believe we
were nearly so.
"W" puts down the distance from Rabun
Gap, down the Hiwassee to Charleston, at
$50 miles; we at 80 miles. Who is nearest
the truth here? We think we are. The DIFF
ference between us is this: He counts from
Clayton, or the Gap between Clayton and
Franklin, and taking either point we think
he over-estimates, Mitchels Map to the con-
trary notwithstanding. We count from
another Gap, west, or perhaps little south
of west, ten or fifteen miles from Clayton,
and from which we think our distance of 80
miles is nearly correct.
Our views in the premises are unchanged,
and we are sure they do not conflict with the
object "W" and his friends have in VIEW
1t is confidently believed by u.s. as well as by
men who are well acquainted with those tre-
mendous mountains, that there is more than
one practicable route to construct rail road
through them, and that two Of these routes
are by the ways of the Hiwassee and Tellico,
and third by the way of the Little Tennes-
see. We have been advocating the Tellico
route because it will suit "W" and his friends
rs well, and we think better, than the Ten
nessee, and because it will be the best line TO
compromise upon, and the shortest and best
for our southern friends. Will "W" and
his friends meet us on this ground! Do they
say impracticable! Let them not use that
word. 1t means more than is to be found be-
tween the waters of the Tellico and Hang
ing Dog, or any where else on the line.
We hope we shall not be misunderstood.
We are for the road whether consts< ksd,Qn
our favorite route or nut7~sn1e. advertiser

fhA eFoat Invsntlen Of the Age !-Stsan Sup
planted Gas Trium phaut!

rl>HE first half of the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded az the age of Steam. IL has passed
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
commencing the age OF Gas--an agent destined
not only TO light but to EHLIGHrEH the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John G.. F. Salomon, after twenty six
years Of close observation upon the experiments
OF his own and of others IN attempts TO make the
principle of the condensation of carbonic acid gas
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
and having just received letters patent for his
''lmproved Carbonic A cid Eng inc, now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof TO the U.
States government, and to individuals or TO COM
panies, the rights of States, counties, or cities.
The immense saving OF money al d labor, and
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the u e
of thus new motor, will inevitably insure Its speed
adoption in all places where steam power Is now
used and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight OF the steam en-
CINE has precluded It's use
This usw motor may be applied to all purposes
propelling agent from the single-horse power
for the cottongin to the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers with the expense less than tina,
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
naces, fuel and firemen, and Of bulk and weight
1D0 tons weight suficing for the same power OF
! 900 tons ofthe steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"working well" at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil of the
18th Instant
"We are pleased to state that J. G. F. Solomon
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
carbonc acid gas in its application to an engine
The successful experiments Of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The sam,
gentleman has received another patsnt forthe steer
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use of his "Improved Pro
peng aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con
troll Of he vessel independent of the engineer tha
he can" "right-abouI-face a man-ofwar in less tim
than is required TO load her guns.
Also, rights for his 'lmproved Spring Saddle,
for military and common purposes, designed fol
the greatest possible comfort of both horse ant
rider
Any information in regard to the above invalu
able Inventions, and of obtaining rights, &c, may
be promptly obtained by addressing

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM MSHlP
COMPANY-THROU PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
T1NHE public will be gratifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desrous to go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impatience of
passengers in going forward against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions now all removed.
Three of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived ut Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HupsoN.
TTHMUS, Capt IIITcHCocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, u. S. N.
FALCON, Capt HARrsTEIN, u. s. NJ
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid and pleasant through passage to California.
