NO MORE Explosions,

The triumph of Ericsson's Caloric Engine
is not merely an economical gain, but a vic.
tory in favor Of human life. 10 the manu-
facturer and steamboat owner, the saving ol
ninety per cent. in fuel, which this new in.
vention offers, is an item of considerable i'm
portance; but how insignificant, after all, in
comparison with the entire security against
explosions which Ercsson's engine affords.
A great drawback on the use of steam in
navigation has been unquestionably its dan.
gerous character. Though every precaution
may be taken by the engineer, there will oc-
casionally arise contingencies of peril; and,
in fact, experience proves that notwithstand-
ing even stringent laws, the annual loss Of
life by steam is frightfnl. Now it is de-
fective boiler that explodes, in great city,
as in the Hague street disasteri in New York,
killing wounding and disfguring for life by
the score. Now it is steamboat on some
ofthe western waters carrying death to half
a hundred passengers through criminal neg
lect Now it is crack racer, like the Rein
deer Oh the Hudson, the accident being the
result of a flaw in the machinery, which no
person had suspected. Every few weeks the
journalist is called upon, in truth, to record
some disaster resulting from the use Of
steam.
From calamities Of this description, how.
ever, the Ericsson engine is free. The worst
that can happen to is coming to a full stop.
In no event can an explosion occur. We
have but little doubt that, on this account
alone, the Caoric engine will supersede the
steam engine almost entirel ly in fifty years.
Indeed, if the safety Of the Caloric engine
continues uncontroverted, Legislatures ought
to forbid the erection of steam engines in
cities, or their employment in other cases,
where, in case of explosion, great loss of
life might ensue. We presume, however,
that there will be but little necessity for leg
islative interference, because the cheapness
of running the caloric engine is so great
comparatively, that this fact alone must lead
to its general introduction. Fortunately for
once, the interest of owners will be on the
same side with the public security. The
pocket will pull in the same way with phi.
lanthropy.
If the Ericsson engine had nothing in its
favor but the safety it insures, its inventor
would deserve to bo ranked high among the
worlds benefactors. Passengers prefer con.
veyances in which they run no risk, to one

ABOLITION SYMPATHY,

In the January number of DeBow's Re.
view, we find the following case, which will
have interest North and South
Mr.. Simonds, of New Orleans, Execu-
tor under the will of MIR. Creswell, arrived
in New York, with thirty.eigbt slaves for
the purpose of emancipating them. His
plan Of sending them into the country was
interfered with by the abolilionists, who per-
suaded the negroes that the purpose was
again to sell them into slavery. The largest
proportion of them, therefore, refused to go.
Having interrogated Mr.. Simonds in regard
to their condition afterwards, we received,
in reply, note, from which brief extract
will be interesting:
Most, if not all of those who refused to
leave the city of New York have done very
badly. Some are in the most abject and
degraded coudition. Several Of them have
begged me to take them back with me-
saying | might keep them as slaves or sell
them-that they were happy before and
wretched now.
"Thcre was, among these emancipated
slaves, a very interesting quadroon girl,
about IL years old, in whom had taken
special interest. Agreeably to her wish, |
had procured her most desirable situation.
\ highly respectable merchant of New Or.
leans had agreed TO take her to Vermont TO
his mother, who had no young children, to
be by her brought up and educated as one
of the family. Accordingly the gentleman
started with her from New Orleans in com.
panionship with his own daughter, of about
the same age. | was to meet him in New
York, and furnish the girl with her emanci-
patton papers. But on the gentlemans ar
Giving at Buffalo, and just before the stea.
mer landed, the emancipated girl was kid.
mapped by abolitionists, transferred to
British steamer and conveyed to Canada.
"The gentleman having her in charge,
employed an attorney.at.law, and spent
several days in the endeavor to recover her.
He went over to Canada, and uscertainod
where she was, but was not permitted to
see her. He was even in imminet danger Of
being mobbcd.
In the New York Tribune of July 10Th,
is published letter, dated St. GATHERINGS,
Canada, boasting of the abduction and res.
cue from STAKEHOLDER.
"On my arrival at New York with the
other slaves, a friend showed me the letter
in the Tribune" and informed me that he
had addressed the writer, stating the facts,

A CoHrRAsr.-The people Of the Soutn
are often charged with being sectional,
while their Northern neighbors it IS alleged,
are more national and enlarged in their
views. When Mr.. Calhoun died; NOT siu.e
gle eulogy was pronounced upon him north
OF Mason and Dixon's line, nor did any
Northern city cIothe its public buildings in
mourning or perform any funeral solerdnities
in honor to his memory: The death of MIR.
Webster on the other hand, has been receiv-
ed throughout our Southern towns and cities
will, every demonstration of public grief,
and in almost every one from Baltimore to
New Orleans, funeral orations have been or
will be pronounced upon his character and
public services.
Yet, in genius and patriotism, they are by
common consent classed together, and the
public labors of both may be said to have
embraced lifetime. If Mr.. Calhoun was
peculiarly devoted to the South, Mr.: Webster
was not so to the North; yet, while the loss
of the latter is justly mourned as a national
bereavement, public lamentations for the
former were confined to his own section;
and, out Of Congress not single voice was
raised to pronounce his eulogy: Yet the
South is sectional, and her Union-loving
orators must lecture her people with Wash:
ngton's Farewell Address, while the North
is too national to need the study of such old
fashioned documents. Would our readers
know why! 1t is because III these latter
days of compromise and submission to be
Southern is to be sectional, which to bo
Northern is to be national

THE LADY AND THE ROBBERS.

In charming village, situated in a truly
romantic country, but considerable dis
tance rom the high road, was Baron K. ac-
customed to spend the summer. His man
sion built upon an eminence, was perfectly
adapted to his fortune. 1t WAS spacious
building, very elegant within and without,
and exhibited a good style "f architecture,
and it was about two hundred PAGES from
the village.
Business obliged the baron to take a
Journey OF IL few days. His wife, who was
but twenty years OF age, very beautiful, re-
mained at home. He took with him two
of his serva.ts, and the nther tw" were left
with the baroness. No violation of the
public security had ever been heard OF III
thai part of the country, and us the baroness
did not belong to the ti:nid portion OF her
sex, the idea of danger was far from en-
tering her mind
The evening after the haron's departure
rs she was stepping into bed, she heard at
alarming noise in an apartment near he'
chamber. She called ont bnt received nc

The room was full Of strange looking

the mercy she implored, she received tn
fatal stroke. No sooner did the door opel

HINTS To HUSBANDS.

Do not Jest with your wife upon a subjec
in which there is danger. of wounding her
feelings. Remember that She treasures ever,
word you utter, though you may never think
Of it again.
Do not speak of some virtue in another
mans wife, to remind your own of a fault
Do not reproach your wife with personal
defect, for if she has sensibility, you infict a
wound difficult to heal.
Do not treat your wife with inattcntion
in company. 1t touches her pride-and she
will not respect you more, or love you bet.
ter for it.
Do not upbraid your wife in the presence
Of a third person. The sense Of your disre-
gard for her feelings will prevent her from
acknowledging her fault
Do not entertain your'wife with praising
the beauty and accomplishment OF other
women.
Do not too often inviteyour friends to ride
and leave your wife atshome. She might
suspect that you esteemed others more COM
panionable than herself s
If you would have pleasant home and
cheerful wife, pass your evenings under
your own roof. \
Do not be stern and silent in your own
house, and remarkable for your sociability

Remember that your wfe has as much
need Of recreation as yourself, and devote
portion, at least, Of your leisure hours, 10
such society and amusealents as she may
join. By so doing, you will secure her
smiles and increase her. affection. Do not,
by being loo exact in rpecuuiary matters,
make your wife feel her dependence upon
your bounty. 1t tcndsHo lesson her digni-
ty of character, and does not increase her
esteem for you. If sheis sensible woman,
she should be acquaintea with your business

AFFAIRS IN FLORIDA.

The following interesting communication
was on Thursday laid before Congress by the
President Of the United States:
WASHINGTON, Jan. lS. 1853.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives.
Of the United States:
have the honor herewith to transmit
report from the Secretary Of the Interior,
from which it appears that the efforts of that
department to induce the Indians remaining
in Florida to migrate to the country assigned
to their tribe west of the Mississippi have
been entirely unsuccessful. The only al
tentative that now remains is either to com.
pei them by force to comply with the treaty
made with the tribe in May, 1882, by which
they agreed to migrate within three years
from that date, or to allow the arrangements
made with them in 1s42, referred to in the
Secretary's report by which they were to
remain in the temporary occupancy of a por-
ton of the peninsula until the Government
should see fit 10 remove them, to continue.
1t cannot be denied that the Withholding
Of so large portion Of her territory from
settlement, is a serious injury to the State
of Florida, and although ever since the ar
rangemert above referred to the Indians
have manifested desire TO remain at peace
with the whites, the presence of a people
who may at any time. and upon any real or
fancied provocation, be driven to acts of
hostility, is source of constant anxiety and
alarm to the inhabitants on that border.
There can be no doubt, also, that the vel.
fare of the Indians would be promoted by
their removal from territory where frequent
collisions between them and their more pow
erfu neighbors are daily becoming more in
evitable.
On the other hand, there is every reason
to believe that any manifestations of design
to remove them by force, or TO tshe possess
sion of the territory allotted to them, would
be Immediately retaflated by acts of cruelty
on the defenceless Inhabitants.
The number of Indians now remaining in
the State is, it is true, very inconsidefabfe,
mot exceeding, It is believed, five hundred j

occupied by them, and its adaptation to their
peculiar mode OF warfare, force very dis

scalds or burns. A gentleman at Dayton
saw it, and the other day, as he writes the
Empire, tested it to his satisfaction: He
says:
"Wbile at the supper table, a little child,
which was seated in its mothers lap, sud-
denly grasped hold Of a cup full OF hot tea,
severely scalding its left hand and arm.
Immediately brought pan of flour and
plunged the arm into it, covering entirely
the parts scalded with the flour. The effect
was truly remarkable-the pain was gone
instantly. then bandaged the arm loosely,
applying plenty Of flour next to the skin, and
on the following morning there was not the
least sign that the arm had been scalded-
neither did the child suffer the least pain
after the application Of the flour

PALnERsroS MoDE OF PRESERVING Gu.
BA.-In correspondence recently published
between Lord Palmerston and Lord How
den, Minister in Spain, the former instructs
the minister to recommend to the Govern
mcnt Of Spain in Cuba to follow the example
set them by New Grenada, in declaring the
total abolition of slavery, so that it shall not
fall into the hands Of the United States. he
says 10 Howden:
81 have TO instruct your lordship to OBJ.
serve to NJ. de Mirailores, that the slaves OF
Cuba form large portion, and by no means
an umimportaut one, of the population OF
Cuba, and that any steps taken to provide
for their emancipation, wonld, therefore, as
far as the black population is concerned, be
quite in unison with the recommendation
made by Her Majesty's Government, that
measures should be adopted for contenting
the people of Cuba, with a view to secure
the connection between that island and the
Spanish crown; and it must be evident that,
if the negro population of Cuba were ren:
lered free, that fact would create powerful
element of resistance to any scheme for an'
nexing Cuba to the United States, where
slavery still exists"
