HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
TUESDAY. Feb. +:

TUESDAY, Feb. 3
Mr.. LANE, Of Oregon, introduced resolution
Of local character, whirh was referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs, and ordered to be
printed.
Mr.. JONES, OF Tennessee, submitted a reso-
lution instructing the Committee on Military AZ
fairs to enquire into the expediency OF placing
troops on the route to California for the protection
Of travellers and others, which was accordingly
referred.
He then movedthptthe House resolve itself into
,rCommittee 81 Whole ON the state OF the
ITnion. for the e6rpose Of taking up the order Of
the day-the bill which had been sent down from
the Senate, and that which originatedin the House
on the subject OF bounty land warrants.
The House having resolved itself into such COM
m;ttee. the Clerk proceeded TO read the bill whch
had been sent down from the SENATE; and the
frst section came up for discussion. the object Of
which is, to provide that all bounty land warrants
that are issued shall be made assgnable, pursuant
10 such regulations as shall be prescribed by the
Commissioner Of the Land Office, and providing
thai ,be person who is entitled TO claim under such
warrant, shall be entitled to his land at the rate Of
Mr. HARRIS, Of Tennessee, moved to strike
out the first section Of the bill, and TO substitute
the first section OF that which was reported by the
select committee.
This the Chairman ruled to be out OF order,
both bills being before the House.
Mr.. CABELL, Of Florida, then took the floor
and spoke for an hour, except when interrupted,
but without, in the most distant manner, alluding
10 the bill under considerable His object being,
as he afterwards stated, TO place himself right be-
fore his constituents, and to define his position in
the House. He read article from Georgia

views. and had received the largest number OF
Democrats votes, rejecting Free soilers.
, This Mr.. c. considered as an evidence in favor
Of his hypothesis, and as proof that a change is
taking place in the Democratic party Of Massachu-

said was because he did not consider 4 as strin-

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

INHE first half Of the nineteenth century will be
IL recorded as The age Of Steam. Ii 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 light but TO ESLIGBrEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John &. +. Solomon, after twenty six
years Of close observation upon the experiments
of his own and Of others in attempts 10 make tn
principle Of the condensation Of carbonic acid gas
available asa mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
'Smproyed Carbonlc Acid Engine, 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 use
Of this new motor, will inevitably insure It's speedy
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 precIuded It's use.
This new motor may be applied TO all purposes
as propeing agent, rom the single-horse power
for the cotton-gin TO 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 eight suficing for the same power Of

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;
awe are pleased to state that J. c. F. Solomon,
late Of The city, has received patent for his motor
carbonic acid gas, its application TO engine.
The successful experiments Of this Invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent forthe steer
ing and propeng power"
Also, rights for the use Of his "lmproyed Pro-
polling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar adj
vantage OF which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel ,independent Of the engineer that
he cab''rght -about-face" man-ofwar in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "lmproyed Spring Saddle"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider

able inventions, and Of obtaining rights, &c, may
