United States free from political connexions with
every other country, to see them independent

FHgsH WATEs AT SRA.-A naval friend informs
us that very important step has been taken in
the British navy to secure supply Of frcsh water
at sea A compact dis,lling apparatus has been
adjusted to the csmbooses, whereby with the usu.
al, or little more than the usual, expenditure ol
fuel, full daily supply Of sweet, wholesome wa
ter, is procured for the ships company. SO Ling
ago as December %, Is49. (see Nautical Stand.
ard OF that date,) the following notice of the
above fact appeared " The Plumper'. (screw
sloop) disuling apparatus continued TO give gene.
raj sstisfaotion, yielding sufficient water for the
daily consumption of the crew"
Experience Of several years has confirmed and
Justified the propricty Of a more general adoption
OF the distilling apparatus in Sion with the
cooking galley Of the ship. The British steam
scfew sioop Niger, which sailed from England in
September Isst, gave striking evidence Of the va ue
and OF the deserved confidence reposed in this mo-
vel arrangement The Niger carried but a single
water-tsnk, Of few hundred gallons capacity.
which was replenisbed daily from the surplus de.
tiliaton, after meeting all the of the entire
crew. The plan OF this camboose, which cooks
water 40 well as provisions for cruising ship has
been adopted and applied by a talented engineer

paying, u now, quarterly on contracts for four
years, to advance in five per cent. bonds of the
United States, chargeabls upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmental amount, the inte-
rest upon which at per cent would equal II o
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is 6 per cent on IS, 900. The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
n perpetuity, five 81 900 bonds, bearing an int
rest Of five per centum AZ this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from $500
to $3.50 mile, per annum, and the $50 per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in
fewyears,pay otfthe Bonds and give theus ofsuch
roads forever thereafter, free of all charge there
by efecting vast saving the present annual
expenditures of the Pc I Office Department, and
consequent reduction of the rates Of postage.
The effect will be no less advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to the government. For
instance, such a contract would give to the Baltl-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
~, 900 900, which would enable that complete its
road at early day, and greatly increase its BUSH
nes, and profits.
But to meet objections and impress the public
mind with proper sense of the benefits to result
from this measure will require concert Of action
and continued active effort, through the press and
otherwise. The undersigned tender their services
| to your Company, expecting reasonable COM
pensation, partly contingent upon the success or
the measure and respectfully suggest the pro-
prety of your sending one or more delegates to
this city, on the first Wednesday in December
next. to confer with delegates from other Rail-
Road Companies, as to the details of the propos-
ed arrangement and the best mode ofbringing the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con.
