Steam Power VS.. Water Power.

Mn. EDITOR.
In the matter of Steam
Power | believe it is yet to be brought
into a more widely extended use than
has yet been thought of Even in the
State Of Vermont, where water power is
available in almost every ncigh5orhood,
the use OF Steam. is to receive a scruti-
nizing investigation. as to its economy
and adaptation to the necessities or con-
venience Of manufacturing pursuits
When it is found that refuse lumber will
supply sufficient fuel to drive the saw
mill for its manufacturer, the weary oxen
will cease to transport logs from hill
farms down some two to five hundred
feet, to water power-saw-mills merely
for the sake of dragging the lumber re-
quircd for tho use of these farms, up, a
gain. The owners of the mountain and
ablc lands of Vermont, will place their
saw.mills in the midst Of their forests.
And boards and planks will be stored
till they are seasoned before they are
frcighted any considerable distance. The
Ncw "Pockct Circular Sac. Mills"
showed you, invented by Stephen Water
man, Esq, of this place. which will cut
logs Of any size up to so inches in diam
cter, can be constructed so that, except
the power that drives it, can be trans
ported from place to place without incOn-
yenencc as the scarcity or plenty Of
lumber might require. l shall send
YOU drawing and description of this
mill as soon as the patent for the same
shall be completed l refer to it now to
suggest what youwill readily appreciate,
that its use will largely increase the use
Of steam power in the manufacture Of
lumber And what is more, it will stay
the wanton destruction of forest trees
for charcoal and potash and the like when
it is found that every kind Of this tim
ber hard or soft wood, can be sawed in
to materials for manulaciurers,and trans
ported to market so as to pay good
profit.
have heard of an old fellow in Mass
achusetts, who, some 40 years ago, built
a dam that flowed a hundred acres or
more of land. aud when his business did
not appropriate all the water power so
produced, he would cxclaim with sigh,
that he " had as lief see wine spilling
on the ground, as to see the water run
ming over his dam n But if power was
SO precious, then its use and appropria
tion for manufacturing purposes have in
creased a thousand fold since his time
Yet no severe necessity need be nov
: felt for the lack Of manufacturing P0ic

FORTH or July.

The National Anniversary has returned to us
| again-and from the rockiest ridges Of Yankee
dom TO the riches places Of FL Dorado; for thou
sands of miles North and South, and for
thousands of miles East and West from the
Lakes to the Gulf and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific Ocean, millions of men are celebrating
| the day and the deed which hallowed it. States
which in l176 were unexpored wildernesses-
great cities that in 1857 were only the resorts Of
nemadic Indian tribes arc now alive with all the
noise and excitement of the holiday Of the ma
tion recording their estimate of the worth Of
| the Declaration and the Constitution which sue
ceeded it. The prophesy which Webster so elo-
quently attributed to Adams, with regard to the
bonfres and Examinations that should in future
years celebrate the glory of this day, has been
more than realized. Throughout'States almost
thrilling in number those of the old federation,
and cities in populousness surprising the States
of that period throughout towns that dot the
face Of the country like stars. and villages too
numerous to be reckoncd; by men Of all ma
tions, all religions, and all professions, the
Fourth of July is honorel and observed
There are those, who, annoyed by the
cidents of the day, would willingly dis
pense with its further celebration We do not
rank with them Aside from our natural love
for holidays and moments of rest and relaxation
from the hustle of daily life, we believe that
anniversaries of this. kind are calculated to do
an infinite amount of good We think that
there is a subjective and objectve-an esotcric
and exoteric in the keeping Of the Fourth Of
July as we'll as in the Philosophy Of Kant or
the Mysteries Of Eleusis Its continual remcm-
brance is calculated to inspire the people with !
stronger regard for the deeds Of their forefath
ors and the achievements of their ancestors
for their wisdom, their zeal and their patriotism
They look upon the result, honorod with 90
lofty and lasting observance, with greater re-
gard than they otherwise would aud are an
nually inspired with fresh love for TIE pliuei- !
pies which have descended to them, and the
Constitution Of which they are the heirs The
Observance of the Fourth of July has, in our
opinion, done more towards preserving, increas-
ing and developing the Republic, than all the
orators and oratory all the writers and writings
that have ever treated Of it, ard we fervently
trust that it always may remain the political
