Washington sentinel., 1853-12-22

In the Sault Ste. Marie district, in Michigan.
the entries for the second and third quarters Of
1852, amount to 40,689.65 acres; and for the
second and third quarters Of 1853, to 89,O73.Sl
acres.
This great and extraordinary increase in the
amount Of lands disposed of in. these several
sections of the country, remote from each
other, can only be accounted for by the i'm
pfovements referred to: in fact, so great is the
increase in the value Of lands that land war
rants and land scrip are nearly up to the par or
face value. IL then, no other reason existed
for such grants, this one, on the score of sound
economy, would be sufficient. Many of these
lands, however, have been in market long
enough for the interest to amount to much
more than the principal; and during all
this period the States were deprived Of
the right and benefit of taxation. The
lands donated for the construction of these
improvements, and those thus entered. must
of necessity be cultivated to enable the
holders to pay the taxes and from this leqiti-
rate source OF revenue great pecuniary benefit
will be derived by the States. This cultivation.
as matter of course, will increase the amount
of grain and stock in the country: and. with
these increased facilities for sending those pro-
duets to market, will reduce the price Of living.
and thus benefit the whole community. They
will also reduce the price Of transportation for
the manufactures and imports of the seaboard,
and so reduce the price Of those articles TO the
settler, and proportionally increase the quantity
used, and Of course the profit to the inanufac-
turer and importer The mail facilities fur
nished by these lines Of ntercommunication
will be of great advantage 10 the government
ind the entire community; and in case Of war,
{ hostilities were brought to our own borders,
he advantages furnished by them for trans
,orting men and military stores are almost in
ppreciable. Another and very great benefit
erived from these improvements is the amount

advance the best interests of the country at
large, and materially aid in perpetuating the
blessings of civil and religious liberty.
Ihe great increase in sales and locations OF
land for the last fiscal year, and in the third
quarter OF the current calendar year, mentioned
former part of this report, has occurred in
hose States where railroads have been pro-
ected and grants made for them, or where
such works are in contemplation, or by the
proposed construction of the Sanlt Ste. Marie
canal. As evidence Of this fact, / would state
that the lands withdrawn from sale in Illinois,
to enable that State to select those granted to
her by the act of goth September, 1850, were
again brought into market in July, August,
and September, 1852, deducting, of course, the
2,595, ,053.l4 acres selected by her under that
grant.
During the fiscal year ending the 3oth June
last, in that State there were sold for
cash 298,66l acres.
Located with land warrants 2,50s,l2O !"
Total 2,8O79Sl acres.
Being about one and quarter million more
than all the lands sold (excluding the locations
of waTants) during the preceding. fiscal year,
in all the land States and Territories. This
increase would no doubt have been greater if
the main body Of these lands had been in mar
ket in the beginning of the last fiscal year,
which was not the fact. The following state
ment of the amount of sales for cash. along the
route of this road in the several districts in
Illinois, from the time these lands were thus
brought into market in 1852, to the 30th of
September, 1853, more strongly evinces the
effect that road has had upon the sale of these
lands:
Washington sentinel., 1853-12-22
No sales in August, 1862 there being no register.
+ No sales in July. 1853. tlf.t

Here, although the lands sold were fifteen
miles or more from the route Of the road, the
increase has been very great; and have no
doubt, when the alternate sections within six
miles, and those between the six and fifteen
mile limits, are brought into market that the
increase viii be equal to that of Illinois.
In Mississippi the sales have been very limit
ed for several years. On the goth September,
1850, the lands in Augusta and Columbus dis
tricts, along the proposed route Of the Central
railroad from Chicago, in Illinois, to Mobile, in
Alabama, were withdrawn from market, and
we're not again thrown open to entry, until the
26th September, 1853, for the Augusta district,
and 10Th September 1853, for the Columbus
district TN the former district there were but
FIVE days left in that month for sales to be made,
and in the latter twelve days. The September
return being the last received from those dis
tricts, / have caused comparison to be made
between sales for that month in 1858, and for
the same month in the four preceding years,
and the result is as follows, to wit:
Acres.
Augusta, September, lS49 424.95
Augusta September, 1850 3ll.47
Augusta, September, 1851 1866
Augusta, September, 1852 - 2.48
Augusta, September, 1853 l9,53O.47
These 1880 acres at ST. 25 per acre, would
amount to $24,4l3 09; but the actual amount
received was $34,056 7s, making an increase
over the ordinary minimum of $9,643 SO.
In the Columbus district this comparison is
as follows, to wit:

In Missouri the lands along the supposed
routes of the several railroads for which grants
were made by the act of 10th June, 1852, were
withdrawn from market on the following day.
As those roads had not then been located,
these reservations were made more extensive
than the lateral lines mentioned in the act, to
enable the State to select the best route for
each. The excess outside the ffteen-mile
limits, ascertained after the survey of the roads,
was restored to market on the 5th July, 1853,
and hence could only affect the sales for the
third quarter of that year. The following
statement shows the amount of land sold dur
ing that quarter, and in the corresponding
quarter Of the three preceding years, in each
district:

and peculiar order Of talent.
1t is therefore respectfully recommended that
the salaries of the clerks be arranged with ref.
erence to their duties, and that such increase
be made In their compensation as will do JUS
tice to all, and that proportionate increase be
EXTENDED to the messengers, assistant messen-
gers, packers, watchpen, and laborers. The
industry, integrity, and intelligence indispensa-
bly, necessary to an efficient discharge of the
duties of these subordinate officers have not
been fully appreciated. It is earnestly hoped,
however, that a liberal provision will be made
for them also.
beg leave to advert to recommendation
heretofore made, Of grant of land for educa-
tional purposes in this District. Here, under
the fostering care of the government, model
schools could be founded, for imparting instr6c-
tion in literature, mechanics, and agriculture
and civil institutions established, on the plan
Of the military and naval academies, in which
improvements in every branch Of the arts conld
be tested and brought successfully into use
and where, in fact youths from all parts Of the
country could be prepared to act as instructors
in these useful and important branches, and
thus disseminate throughout the land the bene
fits Of scientific education.
A thorough knowledge Of agricultural chem
istry, especially when combined with geology,
and metallurgy, would enable the
armers and planters Of our country to develop
the whole wealth of their respective regions,
at inconsiderable expense, causing
barren lands to produce abundant crops, and
from their secret recesses in the
bosom of the earth the mineral treasures depos-
tied therein.

others receive from the legislatures Of the State;

Progress of Firearms.

The percussion-lock, i appears, was invent
ed by an English clergyman--Rev Mr.. For
sylh-in the year 1907. Ia the year 1900,
all firearms were fired by lighted match
carried in the hand. About 1910, the match
lock- was introduced, which was so far an
improvement, that the lighted match was at
taehed 10 the gun. But a shower of rain
was still an effectual damper of the hottest
fight. Soon after, the wheel-lock was in
vented, which produced ignition by the rapid
revolution Of steel wheel against an inAam-
mabe substance. This lock was in use dur
log the wars of the Commonwealth. The
well-known flint-lock was introduced about
the year 1862, and was in universal use down
TO the BaIIle Of Waterloo. The percussion
lock, for many years after its invention, was
only employed in the slaughter Of birds and
beast; but is now applied in all The armies
of Chrstendom, TO the weapons designed for
The destruction of men. The paper from
which we derive these facts, was read, few
weeks ago, before one Of tile scientific socie-
lies of London. II enumerated the leading
improvements which are now proposed in
firearms, and these are at present so numer-
Gus, as 10 create the impression that the most
ingenious men in every country are occupied
in inventing more efectual modes OG giving
10 fellow-creatures their quietus.

Exciting Incident.

Among the Rocky Mountains, on one oc-
caslon while J. Wesley Jones, with a few of
his artist companions, were stopping 10 the
rear OF their main company for the purpose
Of daguerreotyping for his Pantoscope some
remarkably strange rocks, war party of In
dians suddenly sprang from behind Tie rocks,
and giving frightful yell advanced with
ances poised, ready fo- battle, when the ar
tisi with great GOODNESS, turned upon them his
camera, and somewhat myslicaly wnvng
over the instrument the black cloths in which
his pictures were wrapped, held his lighted
cigar in somewhat lrightiul proximity 10 the
instrument. The savages had heard strange
stories OF 'IhHnder on Wheels which had,
10 one terrific burst, swept away whole par
ties Of red skins. Panic c-stricken, they paus-
ed moment, then veered TO the right with
eye fixed upon the dreaded instrument.
But the strange mortar followed them its
dangerous point ever keeping ;hem in direct
line. Pop!-pop!-pop! went revolver
from beneath the instrument This was but
the prelude 10 the death-waging storm about
to burst upon them! They could no; longer
stand this, but with a Simultaneous yell broke
away towards the rocks. Bang bang =
went the artists guns after them. Strange,
terrific sounds were reverberated through The
mountain gorges, and echoed back by The
cavernous rocks--yells and shrieks and rum
bling thunders. The smoke cleared away,
and the artists were alone. No time was
lost in joining the caravan and the danger
being over, II became often the subject of
merriment around the campfires- Jones'
