"A Stupendo1a Claim.-A Western Pennsylvania
company have set up a claim 10 the whole West
ern Reserve of Ohio, under grant from Connect
icut. alleged to have been made after the year
1862 when Charles ID granted to that colony as
patent for the reserve. In 1795 it will be remem-
bered, she sold the reserve to another company,
reIinquishing all claim to jurisdiction over the
territory TO the United States, in 1900. These
Pennsylvania parties to-day applied 10 the Gener-
al Land Office to make 10 them patents for all
the Reserve! The officer replied, we learn, from
parties interested in the speculation" that the
Government never having had claim to- pro-
prietorship that territoy, they cannot enter
tain the application and that the State of Con
necticut IS the party to whom the Pennsylvania
company must look for redress, if they really
have rights involved in the case Washington

/ am enabled to put you in possession OF every
important information, which have just OBJ
tanned, and on which need say, you may place
the most implicit raliance. The greatest anxi-
ETY. has been manifested to know what were the
instructions taken out by General Gadsden as
the rule of his conduct in settling the many
questions that have occurred to complicate our
relations with Mexico-the right of way across
Tehuantepec, the Mexican Boundary question,
Indian depreciation on the frontier, &c.
Having obtained an authentic outline Of the
instructions given to Gen. Gadsden, find tho
method of solving all these questions, as well
as of promoting the railroad to the pacific,
adopted by the administration, to be as follows:
Gen Gadsden is instructed to ask fer, and insist
on the grant by Mexico to the United States, of
a free right of wayfor railroad along the %
nd parallel of latitude The United States in
return agree to relinquish all claim to Tehuan-
tepec; to give Mexico certain sum as indem-
nifty for Indian depredations, and to share with
Mexico the advantages and use of the road
This arrangement, it is hoped, will practically
annul the 18th article of Guadalupe Hidaigo
treaty, rendering the keeping up a line of mill
tary posts along the Mexican border, no longer
necessary.
Thus our cabinet hopes to settle the conflict
ing interests respecting northern or a south
southern route for the Pacific railway. The
South will not find here the northern terminus
for the road she dslikes, and or the other hand,
the ant-slavery men can find comfort in the
fact that most part of this road will lay through
free territory. Mexico, our cabinet hopes will
find in the advantages her northern States Will
reap from this road, and in the prospect of
speedy grant of indemnity money for Ind an
depredations, motives powerful enough to it
duce her to accept the proposal held out to
her.

Oak SaW-dust to precent Limecr"st IN Boil
ers.-A discovery has been made by Mr.. Ira
Hill, of Lawrenceburgh, Pa, which may be
valuable to those having charge of steam en-
gines.
Two or three shovels of saw-dust are thrown
into the boiler; each boiler probably after which
he has always found the inside of his boilers as
smooth as if just Oiled
Whether the lime attaches itself to the float
ing particles of saw-dust, instead of the boiler;
or whether the fannie acid in the oak saw dust
forms salt with the lime, which will not adhere
to iron, remains to be explained. The saw dust
was first placed in the boiler for the purpose of
stopping leak, when the result followeds that
the boiler was free from line scale.

pa The article we copy from the Charleston
Mercury, reviewing an extract from Col Ben
toms forthcoming work, viii richly repay peru
sal. The Editor is undoubtedly correct in de-
signaling the Battle of Kings Mountain as the
turning point in the Revolution. Had Fergu-
son defeated the Americans at Kings Mountain,
we doubt whether the battle of Guilford would
have ever been fought, or the victory of York
town, ever achieved. All eyes were directed to
Washington, and all hope concentrated upon
his intended, but doubtful attack upon Clinton
who was strongly fortified in New York. The
South was in undisputed possession of the Brit
ish. Army after army had fallen or fed before
their victorious march; until there was not left
in the South, the least show of an organised OPP
position. But suddenly the Mountaineers-the
hardy and patriotic pioneers of what is now
known as East Tennessee and South Western
Virginia-rallied, and, led on by Campbell
Sewer and Shelby, appeared before the most ac-
tive and proscriptive division of the British ar
my in the South, encamped as it was upon the
chosen heights of Kings Mountain, and by a
combination of skill, enterprise and heroism,
succeeding in obtaining complete victory
From that day the British were repulSed in ev-
cry battle or skirmish, until captured at York
town.
Thus it was the bold enterprise-the patriot
c heroism, of the liberty flowing pioneers of East
Tennessee and South western Virginia, that turn
ed the Tide of the Revolution in favor of the
Americans. DIR. RAMSEY, in his Annals of Ten
nessee, elaborates these thoughts, and shows
conclusively that the Battle of Kings Mountain
was the turning point of the Revolution His

Justice to those who were there engaged; and he

trace the "Philosphy of History" in this connec.

to be brought to Mr.. Highsmiths house where
he is doing well. The down passage train was
delayed by tn accident until late hour in the
afternoon, and it was night before it left Mari

could send you of the accident by mail, as the
connection was broken at Atlanta. 1t may

were killed, were taken to Atlanta yesterday
