" ASHIN GTON:
FRIDAY MORNING, MAY IA. 1852.


"A crisis is approaching that must, if it cannot
. be arrested, soon decide whether order and good
government shall be preserved, or anarchy and
confusion ensue. can most religiousy aver
have no wish that ia incompatible with the dig
nifty, happiness, and true interest of the people Of
this country. My ardent desire is, and my aim
has been, as far depended upon the Executive
Department, TO comply strictly with all our en-
gagcments, foreign and domestic; but to keepthe
: United States free from political connexions with
every other country, to zee them independent
OF all and under the influence Of none. In word,
Europe may be convinced we act for ourseluss,
and not for others. This, in my judgment, is the
i. only way to be respected abroad and happy at
home; and not, by becoming the partsans of Great
. Britain France, create dissensions, disturb the
public tranquility, and destroy, perhaps forever,
: the cement which binds the Union"
IGEoRoE WAsHINeTos, 1875.

. in their mutual dependence and connexion sys-
TEN of compromise the most conciliatory and the
best for the entire country that could be obtained

FresneI Lights.

Ii has been objected to the Fresne Lights
that they require more watchmen than others,
and consequently entail more expense. We
find this objection beautifully and effectually
obvlated by an arrangement Of Captain CAN.
FIELD to light Of that kind, erected by him,
under the Bureau of Typographical Engineers,
on the Waugoshance Shoal Of the Straits OF
Mackinaw.
In the annual report Of Colonel Albert. Sen
ate Doc. No. /, page 3S9,) he says: '.The
light on the Waugoshance Shoal is completed
and Illuminated. twas inspected by me dur
ing last August, and was found in excellent
condition. 1t is undergoing its trial. and will
be ready to be turned over to the Treasury
Department AT the end of the present fiscal
year.
ALLOW me TO call attention TO the ingenious
and efficient plan of Captain CASrIELp OF
giving notice in case Of accident to the light.o
Of Typographical Engineer 10 Colonel ABsRT, dated
October !, 1851. and printed part NJ Senate Doc.
umem No. ]. @ the prssot Session.
As there lie only one burner or lamp in this sp-
paratus. il is evident that any accident by which
the lamp was put out would leave them in total
darkness; differing essentially in this respect from
the common rejecting lights, where, if tcveral
lamps 90 out, there will still be light Of some
kind.
To make it certain that the lamp is kept burn
ing, il is usual TO keep Waterman constantly with
the light.
As a substitute fJr the watchmnn, and that the
keeper may know Immediately of any accident OF
this kind, have fixed n contrivance at waugo
sbancc, by which the fog bell will commence ring
ing as soon as the light is put out.
This is effected by making use Of the expanding
and contracting power Of a copper tube, when heat
ed and cooled. The tube il made 10 form a part OF
the chimney Of the lamp.
The amount oil the expansion under this heat !.
very small, (about twentieth Of an inch) But
the expansive force being very great use a lever
with a short fulcrum running from the lamp at the
centre TO the side of the lantern and Increase the
amount Of the movement here ten times. To the end
Of this lever is attached copper wire, which wir,
is also attached TO another lever on the floor of tho
bell machine, forty feet below the lantern.
The movement by this second lever is again in.
creased six times; that the motion here amounts
10 full three inches.
This last lever, when the copper tube is heated
by the lamp, is in position to hold an iron hook
30 that the hook will catch Of the squire of IA,
wheel which moves the clappcr shaft.
The catching Of the spur Of course, stops the ina.
chine; when the light goes out the copper tube OIL
the chimney oools and contracts The lever AT IN,
machine Is raised, and the hook by its own weight
swings clear Of the spur Of tho wheel, aud tile ma.
chine moves on, and the bell rings; snd, unless il
IL stopped, continues to ring until the machine runs
down.
This arrangement is found TO answer perfectly,
and is tested every morning when the light s put
out

THK TEA PLAsr IN SoUTH CARoLrNA.-Mr.
Junus Smith, Of South Carolina, who has mad e
several experiments for the introduction Of the tea
plant in that State, has recently received an invoice
Of tea nuts from China They were found as fresh
and sound, apparently. as when packed. Mr..
Smith writes that the fundamental principle
that China tea nuts will gerTninatc and the tea.
plant grow and flourish, in this country, IL already
practically established by the various experiments
which have been made. Hs importation Of tea
plants this year terminated in total failure Two
cases Of China plants, shipped from Calcutta for
New York, are sad to have perished, together with
the ship. in the China seas. Another case from
Shanghai. arrived safely at New York but thence
for Charleston failed To reach that port, thus
proving a serious loss Mr. Smith looks forward 10
the time when hills and valleys will be covered
with the growth OF the plant and our maj kets
