The New York Herald after refsrriGg Ia the
late successful trial of the great caloric shin.
says:
In this age ofinvention the discovery of motive
power as property of heated air, ranks as one
1.-THE first among the wonders of which this CEN
fury has been so fecund. Not only is the estab
lishment of the principle, in ITSELF one of the
most remarkable and curious discoveries ofmod-
ern science, butt practical application to the
purpose OF locomotion is pregnapt with the most
beneficial effects to mankind The supplanting
OF steam by caloric, which will in ime follow the
Introduction ofthe new principle, has numerous
and lncaculable advantages. Chief among these
Is the immense saving in fuel which will attend
the adoption OF the new system. While a
steamship OF the same size of the Ericsson
would consume on an average sixty to seventy
tons OF coal IN the twenty four hours the latter
would be fully supplied during the same time by
SIX TONS thus effectng saving in this article of
nine-tenths, so that voyage round the world can
ne maze without stopping at any intermediate
pace Tor fuel. The space now required for stow
Ing coal can then be appropriated to carrying
freight; and, not the least item ia its favor, tho
disastrous accidents to which steamers are now
Table, cannot by possibility occur with caorie
snips. Besides these advantages, the machinery
OF ship built en- the plan of the Ericsson will
be OF comparatively small COST and will not re-
qulre halt the number of iremen and engineers:
and so simple and easily managed is the ma
shinery, that we learn that Capt. Ericsson con-
slders 1t unnecessary to accompany the vessel on
her first voyage to London, but will conide her
to competent engineer, he himself remaining
in New York to engage in building other engines
Tor the owners OF the new ship. This is the
strongest proof that could be afforded of the COM
pete; and we doubt not well placed, confidence
which he has in his invention

SUCCESSFUL FARITTCTG.

While many writer's and some journals in
North Carolina are disposed to cast unmerited,
because general, censure upon our farmers,
we are glad to have it in our power to sly Il
word, ut any lime, that may have Il tendency
to mitigate the rigor OF their remarks.
No man can or will deny that North Caro-
lima has many good and successful farmers
And while no man, more than we, can regret

when God in His wisdom this great world did make,
And man with n rational mind,
He made the pure water for him to partake,
But nothing like strong drink or wine.
Then why should we take what our God has denied,
That will sink us to shame's low degree,
Which has knowledge, and virtue, and reason defed,
That was never J ehoyah's decree?
Then young man, oh young man, beware Of that

In the bottom destruction you'll find,
Reflect you were made with au undying soul,
With a body Of image divine.
Forbear, Oh! forbcar, though the temptcr will smile
And profer your spirits to cheer;

And make you his curses to share.
The curse Of the wine cup vast numbers have felt
While war its lone thousands has swept,
That curse to its ten-tLousands death has lon

Made widows and orphans to perish unwept.
