The Great IsvenEIsaef ~ Agei-stean Sap.
planted! Gas TTiauphant!

THE first half Of the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded AZ the age of Steam. 1t 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 ESLicHrEN 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 condemnation of carbonc acid gas
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
same ;and having just letters patent for his
"lmproved Carbonic Acid Engine, nov 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 ard labor, and
o.human lives and suffering, secured by the US
of this new motor, will inevitably insure its speed v
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-
gine has precuded it's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
az propelling agent, from the singe-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
Daces, fuel and 6remen, and Of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficing for the same power of
,SOU 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 Nonpareil of the
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that j {. C. f. Salomon,
late Of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonic acid gas, in its application to 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 steer
ing and propelng power"
Also, rights for the use of his "Improved Pro-
pelIing aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer that

From the Neu York Knickerbocker

We ran up by the Hudson river railroad cars
| from Dobb's the other morning, as far as Sing.
Sing, to give certain little people" an opportu.
nifty of seeing the State-prson; and verify, we
were we'll repaid for the visit. We found Mr.
Robinson, the keeper, in the receiving.roo OF
the institution" who himself very kindly &C.
| companied US through every part of the prison
giving us, without reserve, all information which
it was proper to ask at his hands. We satisfied
ourselves of one thing, even in the merely cur
sorry examination which We were enabled, in a
necessarily hurried VISIT to make; and that is,
that Mr.. Robinson, in the government of his
subjects rules them, not like despotic king,
but with that humane consideration, united with
military frmness that is never doubted Ju,
once, which insures at the same time respect and
obedience. We never saw the establishment in
better condition. The halls and cells were
newly whitewashed and very clean; from one
end Of the prison to the other nothing was out
of order There was place for every thing,
and every thing was in its place." We
were struck, by this state of things, with the
thought, how desolate, after all, is prison in it's
best estate Observe the stone floors of those
narrow cells how deeply they are worn by the
picing to and fro Of the remorseful sef.accus-
ing, angry occupants, during the long and
gloomy hours in which they are shut up in 81
lence and alone Look in at the workshops,
and behold the dim rows Of striped criminals
plying their ceaseless labor, with no word spo-
ken by or to them; observe them as they come
pouring out of the workshops into the court
yard to 60 to their meals; band Of miserable
brothers, whose locked and grating step falls so
harshly upon the ear look at the rude food
upon their trenchers; half of coarse red onion,
piece of brown bread, and Il chunk" Of heavy
meat; see all these things, and then you will see
what imprisonment is So we said to the " little
folk" coming home and there withai the water
stood in Young knck's eyes, and his little sis
ter's dropped tears fast as the Arabian trees
their medicinal gum" Curiosity had kept them
from much thought while they were seeing all
this but reflection melted their Young hearts
