MORE HUMBUG-The Cincinnati Nonparel
republishes an article of its own of the 5th of Au
gust last, headed \ new mechanical wonder" If
Mr. Solomon Che has certainly a name of wisdom)
has made the discovery which he pretends he has
and can run a steamboat to N Orleans d back, for
$50 why don't he do it? WHAT'S the use ofrepublsh-
ing the article and making more gas about it? Just
put the gus which he pretends to have discovered in
connection with an engine, and let it do once what
he says it DO and then there will be need of
republshng old articles to keep up its fame, or en-
gender deluson. 1t is SAID, it costs now about
eighteen hundred dollars to run steamboat from
Cincinnati to New Orleans and back. If it will
save $3.50 on each trip for every boat, we should
think there was inducement enough to commence
the money-saving process The fact is. Mr.. Solo
mon is casing and we shouldn't wonder if the ed-
tor of the Nonpariel has been imposed upon. We
have all heard of Paine's light; and think he
dcIuded somebody about the Chronotypc Office in
Boston.
There is no particular necessity however, for edi-
tors to impose upon the public by their sanguine
belief if somebody does now and then impose upon
them.
If Mr.. Paine Oh Mr.. Solomon had the power to
do what they say they can, they would have done
it long ago. When steamboat goes to New Or
leans and back for fftydollars expended in motive
powcr-let us know it.
/ u The following resolutions were introduce
ed by Mr. Peck, of Brown County, were read and

Sd. A memorial to the congress of the Unit
| ed States, asking for the passage of law pro-
! hibiting the importation Of all Intoxicating liqu-
Ors, and declaring all trade in the same contra
! band
| We thiok that this will be the amount of all
the Legislature this winter upon the subject Of
the license laws.

Green Bay, in connection with line from the

IL a Bill has been introduced in the Legis-

This sum does not include municipal expenses
for two months to make up the balance of fiscal
year, say from s 900 to $1,000 Now, if we NAV
add the amount expended the year previous to this,
where the city alone pays out 81 49, the aggregate
considered, leads to the conclusion that there NAV
be good and sufficient reason for the outcry as to
expenditure of money or scrip without adequate
compensation to property.
In reply to the above estimate, we are told that
some Of the amount is an Indebtedness of the pre-
yious year 1t must Of necessity lap over from wear
to year; for example the bridge debt made in def
ance OF the charter restriction of one per cent is to
be paid in scrip, one-third already issued and
the balance left for next year payment drawing ten
per cent. till paid We told there is a credit to
the city for county poor, licenses dc. This, in my
opinion, Is no argument against an extravagant
issue OF scrip for il the balance III favor of the
city, this scrip would command a par Price and
there would be money in the treasury to make I'M
proyements at the value when required The coun-
ty should have its useless branches Topped off I
am for laying the at the root OF oar municipa-

and have all necessary powers with more simple

avenging retribution. The coIored race OF this
country now numbers four millions of people
More than three-fourths Of this number are in the
lowest civil and political condition known to the
human race.
tAs to your future prosperity: In the first
place, think it neither probable nor desirable
that the African race should die out and leave
that part Of the earth to which they are native
to the Caucasian or any other race. AS com
pared with the Caucasian race, suppose the AZ
rican to be inferior in intellect, while in senti-
ment and affection the whites are inferior to the
blacks May not independent nations Of each
race be greatly improved by the existence of in
dependent nations of the others i believe so.
l believe there is q band Of territory around the
earth, on each side of the equator, which belongs
to the African race. The commotions of the
earth have jostled many of them out Of their
place, but they will be restored to it when reason
and justice shall succeed to the terrible guilt and
passions which displaced them aa iql3 ay1 9it
Mr. Mann proceeds, with great vigor and clear
ness, to urge upon the blacks the vital import
ance Of the accumulation Of property support of
the best schools, the cultivation Of refined man
ners, and fsssnstics ints esmsnaAiti@s ahy them-
selves He. bids them claim all their rights, not
forgetting the right of suffrage. Canadian, and
more particularly West Indian, colonization is
strongly urged. He thinks that many slave
holders would be induced to emancpate if their
slaves could immediately emigrate to prosper
Gus and independent community of blacks.f The
recently plan of colonization by the au-
thorites Of Jamaica, however, is not counte-
nanced 2.a n.
Mr.. Mann concludes: seSeek for wealth as a
means of education, advancement, and influence !;
build yourselves up, as far as possible, into q
condition Of independence; let your hearts be
penetrated with the moral and religious fervor
which belongs to great and holy cause: and may
God bless your endearors." a.a sla tt.1A

How a Coat was Tdentii,ed.

in the Justices Court this city, a case was re-
Gently decided in q most novel way. A coat was
in dispute, and the evidence was direct and posi-
tive for both claimants; the parties were Irish
and "full of grit" ready to spend all they had
rather than ssgive up beat" The affair had been
carefully examined and the Court was ssin
quandary,p not knowing who had the hest claim
on the garment. However, o moment before his
Honor was to sum up the evidence, Patrick
Power, one Of the claimants, made the following
proposition for settling the affair. Said Patrick:
Timothy Mcguire, now ye say that coat be-
longs to- yersif intirely; 4 say it is. me own.
Now mind ye, Timothy, the both iy us will take

The "Briish United Service Journal" thus
speaks Of our navy: - 7"
From its infancy. to its present state, most
bravely most CALAMITY, have the officers and men
in the naval profession of America held up the
honor of their fageG There isscarcely one ton
in which the slightest impptation can be cast on
any individual They have never avoided their
enemies, excepting when IL would have been-t
height OF imprudenceto TO have faced them. They
have fought with the most, .determined ynlor.
They have, in many cases, been successful over a
nation which held, undsputed, the command of
the ocean; and this very circumstance of combat
ing an enemy flushed with almost vie tory, adds
great laurel to the navy Of the United iEtatesV
l1 This isa very different tone altogether from
that which used to characterize British Journals,
when the victories Of our navy were attributed to
the number Of English sailors enlisted III DUR SER
vice, computed at one-third it's effective force-a
fact which, carried with it this remarkable fea-
ture, that the other two-thirds Americans were
more than match for On equivalent number Of
English sailors in the British service, The Brit
ign Journals are assuming every dry u more libc-
raj tone when speaking Of the United Statess and
in paying the above compliment to our navy, they
do no more than justice TO its character. /, Conr-
age has ever distinguished the Anglo Saxon race,
and that quality is always conspicuous In their
descendants whether Of British or American
birth.ad The energysof the American character,
the general intelligence, and the republican pride
Of American citizens, are elements which no
doubt add much to the efficiency Of the American
navy. Hence, it should be the endeavor1of Con
gress to preserve this efficiency, by promoting
the qualities which produce it. The abolishment
Of the punishment Of fogging was o great step
towards sustaining the character of the service,
and little more attention on the part Of Con-
gress to the wants Of seamen would establish the
American navy as the very best in the world.
