pnEHoMESos IN lIYDRAuLics.-This
morning, about eight o'clock, Will. the
"orkncn were engaged in pul ing
down the walls Of the old Eaglc
street theatre, Il portion Of the back
wall came down falling into II pool or
spring at its base, and throwing
Il column of water between two
hundred and three hundred feet with
great violence. At ninety feet from
the pool ii lifted a Mr.. II. Ladd, WHO
was experimenting the removal Of
the dirt, and threw him fifteen feet
upon a pile Of bricks. 1t then crossed
Eagle street throwing down about
forty feet Of the fence surrounding Me
Arihur's garden, uprooting several
trees and shrubs, besides doing con
siderable other damage. Had it not
been for the large pie Of bricks on
Eagle street, which stopped portion
OF the water their can be no doubt it
would have demolished the Hall in
McArthur's garden. AS it was, it
threw down chairs, tables, &c. in the
building adjoining it. Mr.. Ladd,
though not seriously injured, is con
sidcrably bruised aud cut.

Dear. Sir: Our citizens were called
together OH, Thursday evening, May
25th, by the announcement that =. S.
White, the State Temperance Lcctur,
er,; would deliver an address that even.
ing in tho Court House On the subject
of1rmporauee.
At an early hour, the house was
crowded to overaowing BY an audi.
e,ce composed ofall sizes, grades and
characters, many Of whom were pre-
possessed, untayorabIy, against the
Lecturer. There was a manifest dis
position OH the part of some who oc-
eupicd the gallery to interrupt the cx-
erciscs ofthc evening, AS ever aud anon.
you might hear an innocent whew ! as
the speaker could state some t,c. or
relate some. aneedoto with regard to
the never fuilinS evils attendant uron
lntemperance. So far was il, however.
from confusing the wclltraincd Thoughts,
and incontrovertiblc arguments OF Mr..
White, that it only served to remind
the tancitul of the chirping of crck.,s
in the midst ofa raging storm, whose
mighty sweep bears down al before it.
The audience, cmphatically, listened.
stIhe introduction, divisions Of 1h.
subject, manner Of discussion, ilIustra-
I. tions and anecdotes, were all adapted
to the occasion and subject.
Mr., White had not proceeded far
before it was manitcstly evident tha,
prejudice was giving way, and the hour
Of l. o'clock found the many willing
and anxious to hear. y more decided
victory over the feelings Of any com.
lnulity, has, in our humble judgment,
seldom been achieved
1t cannot be denied that Mr.. Whites
first Lectures in this place were not as
acceptable, generally, as was contenl-
plated on the paIt Of nany OF The
friends of Temperance, owing to the
fact that some took exceptions to the
character of some of his, in the estima,
ton Of many. respectable citizens, hdi
oro-comico anecdotes, &c. But hi,
second visit and lecture has given gen.
orally decided satisfaction.
All must agree that Mr.. White is a
gentleman OF unquestionablc- ability.
i1e makes war upon the old "Princv"
with vengeance and all who are in any
way in league with him, that don't
want to ''get hurt" must get ont OF
the way.
Mr.. White is SO visionary upon the
subject Of Temperance truth, reason
and facts arodue the implements whicl,
he wields, and s"ldom if ever, does he
appear in the field Of battle with the
"Princc" and his ooadjutors, without
doing execution. He bore away the
dag in triumph at least in Spartanburs
on the night OF tho 25th ult.

the first Artcsian well Of Mr.. ). .lG.

is 735 feet deep and sends tortha
stream Of water measured at 1900 gal.
lions per minute, The famous French
well at Grcloble, it is said, does not
discharge more than half this quantity.
''Ihc water (says the Gazettc) boils
up, roaring like q cataract, forming
branch of considerable size, and the
low grounds, suinc two hundred yards
distant, require di,ching, to carry off
the Immense quantity of water collect
cd uronrits surface.
Mr.. Reid, the successful borer Of this
well, has commenced boring another,
some sixty yards distant (for Mr..
Matllcws) Which will be some 1900 or
1000 feet deep. 10 prevent injury to
the first, it is necessary to make the
second one much deeper, SO as to
reach a different stratum of water

Mr.: Reid is also boring well for
DR.. English, two hundred yards dis

Acnrrcspundcnt OF the Gazette gives
the following in relation to the first
wei. of Mr.. Mathews, which was bored
for the purpose Of obtaining sufficient
water to supply steam cotton mill:
First well was dug in the ordinary
way: 32 feet through the red clay sand
aud gravel lying upon the rotten lime
stone. n large pine log was then pro
cured, and II hole 3 l-2 inches in di-
amcter bored through it. After
sharpening the end and putting an iron
band around it the log was put down
and firmly driven and forced into the
rock. The well was then filled up
the upper end Of tho log appearing
about Il foot above the surface. The
boring then commenced, and with the
various tools and cont,ivances of the
art, and the earth was rapidly pcnctra.

As eacll lower sheet ofwatcr was
rcHcilcu ny the TOOLS, the water was
thrown mp by the whole in greater
quantities and with more Violence
When the first atcr''-that is, the
water just below the first sand stone
was reached: the upward flow of the
water did not exceed seven gallons per
minute. 1t was increased to one hun.
drcd grl.ons, when the second sand
stone was perforated, and ON reaching
the third sheet of water, upwards Of
800 gallons per minute rushed up
through lhl& crifice, Seemingly impa-

Thinking that the quantity saassSEjj

.liamctcr, and 5:S feet deep, 10 the
sand stone lying above this third bed
water, aud inserted u tube from the
first, and resting upon the third sand
stone. They were not disappointed.
The water from Il small stream became
a large column rushing upwards with
violence, at the rate Of 1900 gallons
per minute, aud running of in u con
