The Great Invention Of the Age!--Steam Su
planted Gas Triumphant!

yNttE hrst nan oil tie nineteenth century will be
Il recorded as the age ofSteam. 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
as commencing the age Of Gas--an agent destined
not only TO hgh but TO EELIGHrEs the world
This aye has now commenced, and with IL is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John c. +. Solomon, 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 as mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
"lmproyed CarLl6nic Acid Eng inc, /" now offers 10
dispose Of rights for the use thereof 10 the u
States government, and TO individuals or 10 CON-
panies, the rights Of States, counties, or cities
The immense saving Of money ard labor, and
OF human lives and suffering, secured by the u,
Of this new motor, will inevitably insure lis speedy
adoption in all places where steam power u nov
used, and in thousands OF olber PLACES where the
great pense, bulk, and weight Of the steam en-
CINE has precluded it's use.
This new motor may be applied TO all purposes
as propelling agent, from the sing pos ives
for the cotion-gin the two thousand horse power
for ocean Steamers with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, OF boilers and fur
naces, fuel and 6remen, and Of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufiicing' for the same power Of
800 tons OF the 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 Nonpsreil Of the
18th instant
eve are pleased TO state that j. c. +. Solomon,
late Of this city, has received patent for his motor
G carbonic acid gas, in it's application 10 an engine
The successful experiments Of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use Of his "lmproved Pro-
pelling aud Steering Apparatus, one peculiar adj
vantage Of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independents Of the engineer, that
he an"right-sbout-face" man-ofwar in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "lmproved Spring Saddle"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort Of both horse and

The SQUABBLEs OF THE DsMocRAcY.-The

Of the squabbles and rank spirit of mutiny
among the Democracy. The disease which in
ls4S was only sporadic, and mainly confined to
New York, has become epidemic, and runs like
the cholera" all over The country. In Congress
the party is paralyzed from its internal dissen
sions; in the far South they are wrangling like
cats and dogs. If this sort Of harmony con
tinues, we shall have beautiful row at Balti-
more. They will meet IN a row, and break up
in a row; and the Wings, rallying upon Gen.
Scott, will yet be able to run him in. We are

Mr.. WEBsrsR's literary apses in his late
speech before the Historical Society, are az
fording much amusement TO those whom he haa
designated as captatores perborunl." the tribe
of critics. We gave eur views as to his mis-
conception Of the leading idea of the Had, and
the conduct of that stubborn secessionist, the
son Of PELEUs-but one of our contemporaries
has caught him tripping in MILTON also. No.
body, OF course, would accuse Mr.. WEBSTER of
having just enough of learning to misquole,"
but such carelessness sets bad example to his
admiring imita tors. The Boston Post says:
",Fhe Philadelphia Bulletin, we find, is quite
right in saying that Milton docs not refer 10 the
fall oil Lucifer, in the lines which Dir. Webster
so quoted in his elaborate discourse before The
New York Historical Society. But the Bulie

look out suitable site. They soon erected
huge and gorgeous fabric, which the multitude
entered and admired very much. Some praised
the work,
I" And some the architect: his hand was known
In Heaven by many lowered structure high
Where sceptred angels held their residence,
And sat as princes: whom the supreme king
Exalted to such power, and gave TO rule
Each in his hierarchy, the orders bright
Nor was his name unheard or unadored
In ancient Greece; and in Ausonian land
Men called him Mulciber; and how he fell
From Heaven they tabled, thrown by angry Jove
Sheer o FER the crystal battlements: [from morn
To noon he fell, from noon to dewy eve,
A summers day; and with the setting sun
Dropped from the zenith like falling star
On Lemnos the Egean isle. Thus they relate,
ErriDg; for he with his rebellious rout
Fell long before; nor aught avaed him now

With his Industrious crew to build in HE'LL"
Mr.. Webster used that part of the above
lines enclosed in brackets in order to show that
Milton omitted nothing which conld make his
poetical images and descriptions striking dis
tinct, and certain, while all else is industriously
repealed. Witness the fall of Lucifer,' says Mr.
Webster The Philadelphia critic has certainly
got him. A good many literary folks will take
no notice of the mistake because they were not
the first to discover it, and many others will let
it slide because it was Mr.. Webster's. But be.

order was motion submitted yesterday by Mr..
HoUsros, OF Alabama, to close debate on the de-
hciency bill this afternoon at o'clock.

BOUNTY LAND BILL.
Mr.. JONES, Of Tennessee, said that the COM
mittee appointed TO confer with the Senate in re-
lation TO the disagreement Of the two branches on
the amendments to the bounty land warrant bill,
were ready TO report.
Mr.. HOUSTON hoped that the House would
go on to consider the regular order Of business as
the bounty land bill would give rise TO debate
Mr.. JONES thought that the bill was OF as
much, IL not more, importance than the deficiency
bill.
Amer some further conversation, the report OF
the committee Of conference was received and
considered
Mr.. JONES explained the amendments which
had been agreed TO and after discussion by Messrs
FIrcH and DusHAM, Of Indiana, and others,
ANOTHER PERSONAL ALrERcAuoN, ALMOST.
Mr. DUNHAM made some remarks as to the
number Of land warrants which had been located
by assignees.
Mr. FITCH denied his colleagues assertion,
and stated that the reverse the fact. He was
proceeding to make some further re marks, when
Mr.. DUNHAM left his place, and approach
ing Mr.. F's seat, requested him to yield the floor
TO allow him (Mr. ID } to notice a remark.
The SPEAKER said that Mr.. FITcH had the
floor, and unless he would give way, Mr.. DUS-
HAM was not in order.
Mr.. FITCH declined yielding the aoor and re-
peated his statement, remsrking that he was sorry
that his colleague should show so much i'll tenn
per.
Mr.. DUNHAM again attempted TO get the
floor, amidst loud calls of"order," by at least a
hundred members.
The SPEAKER said that the gentleman was
out Of order, unless his colleague (Mr. TcH)
would yield the floor.
Mr.. FITCH. | will yield for an explanation.
Mr.. DUNflAM made remark about per-
sonsl explanation.
Mr.. FITCH. Oh, IL the gentleman wishes TO
omen that matter again, | shall not yield.
[Mr ID. here took his seat considerably excit-
ed. shaking his head and clenched hand, and
made remark about renewing the subject here
after. Several members gathered round his seat,
but there was no further demonstration in the
hall. During the morning hour, while the b6un-
" land bill was up, great confusion prevailed,
and the sFEaEER repeatedly demanded order.l

~ The Savannah Georgian thus defines
Mr.. Toombs' position.
The PosITIoN OF Ma. TooMBs.-It seems
that an impression has gone abroad, that Mr.
Toombs favors the scheme OF sending delegates
from the Constitutional Union party. TO the
Baltimore convention. Laboring under this
impression the Montgomery Alabama Journal,
Union paper Of the Wing stamp, remarked
that,
Z" From appearances, the scheme Of Cobb,
Toombs and few Others will fail, and the
Union men Of that State will not be transferred
like cattle to the support Of a Baltimore con
vention with Freesoiers."
Thereupon the Chronicle and Sentinel Mr..
Toombs' organ, says, (having quoted the forgo.
ing scntence,)
awe clip the above from the Montgomery
Journal for the purpose Of correcting the erron-
eous impression, into which that paper has fallen
in relation 20 the position Of the Hon. r.
Toombs, TO whom we are satisfied the Journal
would not intentionally do injustice. II is suf.
fcient, therefore, for our purpose TO state that
Mr.. Toombs does not fapor the policy Of send.
| ing delegates 10 the Baltimore convention. On
the contrary, he approves Of the position Of bis
colleague, Mr.. Stephens"
| For our own part, we have not doubted Mr.
| Toombs' opposition TO sending delegates 10
Baltimore, nor do we doubt that the great body
Of the wings Of Georgia will be guided by
these distinguished Wing leaders.

Wing SpecuIatIons.

The New York Mirror, an administration
print, edited by an oflicehoder, thus specuates
on the chances of the respective candidates in
convention, and lays down new programme
for its party. 1t thinks the Wing party have
but one remaining peg to hang hope on"
sand but one."
"They must identify themselves with the
party of the Union" stars and stripes" &c.
Which aUnion'' is not mentioned. Hear the
editor:
The chances therefore are that Gen. Scott
aoiH receipe Lhe largest number Of potes on The first
ballot in The contention Should such be the
fact, it does not follow that he will be the next
President of tie United States, nor even that he
will be the nominee Of the Wing party. On the
second ballot, we are inclined TO think there will
be but ttoo candidates and the struggle will be
then between the friends of Scott and Fillmore,
or Scott and Webster-the Webster party 90
ing over TO Fillmore, or the Fillmore men TO
Webster. In the event of hot contest, a third
candidate would be adopted and, as we have
already suggested, John J. Crittenden would be
the man.
Then, when the Wings have selected their
champion, the question will be, can Mey elect
him We answer emphatically, No; not upon
the basis of a mere party platform. And why
not Simply because the Democracy is in the
majority. Thus far in the history of our gov.
eminent, Wing administration has been Incl.
dental, not general-the exception, and not the
rule of political affairs. II is only from the ex
cesses Of radicalism that reaction has occur
red in favor of conservatism. For one, we ut
terly despair ofthe election of either of the can
didates we have named, unless the people rally
TO their support under some broader banner
than petty party flag.
Does any man suppose that protectons,
can ride into the White House on the old tariff
hobby And what is there left for Whfp TO
straddle that may not lie mounted with equal
consistency and confidence by his opponentl-
Have the Wings, then, no remaining peg 10
hang hope on! YES, one, and but one.
Trey must identify themselves with the Pan
TY OF THE USIoN. They must know no North.
no South, no East, no West, nothing but their
country" The banner under which they fight
must be the broad stripes and bright stars Of the
American flag-the flag Of the Union. The
nation rs ripe for such patriotic association OF
union hearts and union hands, The time has
come 10 draw the line between intelligent con-
servatism and reckless RADICAL m--between men
who cherish the principles Of the fathers Of the
republic, and madcaps who have neither reycr
