The Ericsson not at the Crystal Palace.


About two weeks ago one of our city papers,
stated that beautiful Ericsson engine was
to be on Exhibition, and spoke of it in the
most fattering terms, as something which
would aston sh the public and more than
prove all the high flown panegyrics paid to it
previously by the same paper. On Thursday
last week, the same paper published COM
munication stating that the application for
space in the Crystal Palace for the said en-
gine had been withdrdwn. This is true, as
we have learned BY special inquiry at the of
flee of the Crystal Palace Association. The
Superintendent Of Machinery, Joseph E..
Holmes, Esq, practical engineer, designed
to test the power of the Hot Air Engine by
a dynometer, and to weigh the amount of coal
to propel it. We could not learn what the
reasons were which induced the builders of
the Ericsson engine to Withdraw the appica-
tion, we present the fact and can draw an
inlerence-so can every person who reads

We have thus traced the stream of emigra-
ton from the Atlantic to the west. We have
seen few enterprising and adventurous men,
clustering together on the banks of the remote
and secluded Watauga, telling the forest, erect
ing the cabin, forming society and laying the
foundation of government. We have seen the
PLAN and unpretending emigrant from the Yad-
kin, and his hunter associates, combining the
wisdom and virtue of the pioneer condition, and
providing laws and regulations suited to the
wants of the new community around them
We have seen the patriotism and chivary of
the extreme western settlement rally at the
sound of danger. Leaving their own frontier
exposed, they magnanimously returned to the
defence of a sister colony, and on the rugged
Kenhawa, met and repulsed the savage invader
We have seen Robertson negotiate an enlarge
ment of his border, and effect peaceable ex-
tension Of the settlements. We have seen the
fortress erected, the station built and the ene-
my repulsed. We have seen ornaments by
land and water boldly penetrate to the centre
of the warlike Cherokee nation, and the soldi-
cry of the Watauga bivouac upon the sources of
the Coosa. The first settlement in Tennessee
planted, defended, secure and prosperous, we
have seen its founder and patriarch lead forth
new colony, through another wilderness, to ex-
and undergo new dangers, and perform new
achievements upon the remote Cumberland
There for the present, we shall leave them, and
return to the eastern settlements. Here was
the cradle of the great State of Tennessee,
where its infancy was spent ard its early man
hood formed. The vigorous shoots sent out
from the parent stem-the colonies that have
gone abroad from the old homestead and peo-
pied the great West-have ever been worthy of
their ancestry. Their rapid growth and enlarge
ment, their unexampled prosperity and achieve
ment, are noticed with feelings of parental
fondness and pride. In no spirit of senile ar
rogance is the claim upon their ilal piety as
serted for veneration and regard to their East
Tennessee forefathers. Through them our
proud state claims to be one of the "Old Thir
teen," and to be identified with them in the
cause of independence and reedom.-RamseyS

AMERICANS IN PARls.-A Paris letter of 18th

! AMERICANS IN PARIs.-A Paris letter of 18th
inst, says
The first presentation of Americans to Louis
Napoleon, since he has been Emperor, and to
Mrs. Bonaparte, since she has been Empress,
took place at the Tuileries, on Thursday night.
About sixty Americans and seventy English
were introduced to their Majesties. The GER
emony is briefly this:-The gentlemen and Ia
dies to be presented, form double line, the
gentlemen on one side, and the ladies on the
other, as if they were to dance Virginia Reel.
Space enough is left between for their Maies-
ties to pass easily. The Americans had one
half of presentation room, and the English the
other The practice of the Emperor would
seem to be to address some remark about every
third person, as the names of the presentees
are mentioned to him, those Of the ladies by
their ambassadress, and those Of the gentlemen
by their ambassador. The American portion
Of the ceremony was easy, graceful and highly
successful; their Maiesties were gracious in the
extreme Lord Cowley made botch of the
English introductions; and an in incensed Lord
was heard to remark, "Those Americans al
ways do everything better than any one else;
we cut no figures at all next to them" The
Emperor looked well; better, indeed, more at
ease. more DESTROYS of pleasing, than | have
ever before seen him. The Empress wore
white hounces, both in her hair, and scattered
in tasteful profusions over her dress. She had
a neclace of large pearls around her neck, but
not single diamond. The American ladies that
had put on all their felcandas, to compete with
her Majesty, shone in undimned brillancy.-
We made a very striking display. l doubt
whether thirty handsOmer women were ever
collected on an occasion of the kind. More
than once the Emperor seemed to single out
a lady of more than ordinary beauty and
caiised the Empress's attention to her. After
the presentation there was dancing and sup
per- Their Maiesties waltzed together, and
were once or twice bumped in a most unseemly
manner by Americans who had grown dizzy,
and had lost the power of properly guiding
their foot steps. 1t was past one when their
Maiesties retired. The festives were continued,
however, after their departure, and when the
clock struck three the company had not vet
left

DEsPERATIoN.-There is a terrible fellow
somewhere "Down East" who ought not to be

his faithless gal. If he should happen to put

And swallow up the rill,

Down with him! down with himl we say.
The sun I'll put out,
With the whirlwinds play;
Turn day into night,
And sleep it away.
There is no doubt, if he cuts that caper, the

shall. We leave it to the whirlwinds to say

JACK WHALEY's BREEOHEs. Jack Whaley's
wife one day CHANGED to find an elegant piece
of white leather on the road, and she brought
it home with her, in great delight, to mend
Jacks smalclothes, which she did very neatly.
Jack set off the next day, little suspecting what
was in store for him; but when he had trotted
about FIVE miles-it was in the month of July
he began to feel mighty uneasy in the saddle,
feeling that continued to increase at every
moment, till at last he said, lit was like taking
a canter on beehive in swarming time"-and
well he might, for the piece of leather was no
other than blister that the apothecary's boy
had droped that morning on the road.

our armories ought to be kept filed with every
weapon and munition of war, and every vulner-
able point on the coast ought to be fortified
But while we act on the maxim "in peace pre-
pare for war" let us also remember that the
best preparation for war is peace. This swells
your numbers, this augments your means, this
knits the sinews of your strength, this covers
you all over with panoply of might; and then,
if war must come, in a just cause, no power on
earth-no, sir, not all combined-can send forth
an adversary from whose encounter you need
shrink.
But give these twenty five years of peace
l do belive that the coming quarter of centu-
ry is to be the most important in our whole his
tory, and 1 do beseech you let us have the twen-
ty five years, at least, of peace. Let our fer
tile waters be filed up with swarming millions;
let the tide of immigration continue to flow III
from Europe; let the steamer, let the canal, let
the railway subdue these mighty distances, and
bring this vast extension into span, let us pay
back the irgots of California gold with bars of
wastes with waving plenty; let the industrial
and mechanic arts erect their peaceful fortresses
at the waterfalls Of our rivers; and then in the
train of this growing population, let the prin-
ting Office, the lecture room, the school-room,
and the village church, be scattered over the
country; and, sir, in these twenty five years, we
shall exhibit a spectacle Of national prosperity,
such as the world has never seen on so large a
scale, and yet within the reach of sober, prac-
teal contemplation.
These are words of wisdom--the counsels of
q truly great statesmen. Let them be cherished
by all who live in this land
Mighty in its youth,
Where, tho with widest rites, freedom and truth
Are worshipped.
1t is PEACE that can only make nation great
and preserve the happiness and prosperity of
its people. Emphaticly so is it with the Uni
ted States. Give US quarter of century, in
which our efforts shall be to develop the resour-
ces of the land we live in, to bring out the tai
ent and to encourage the arts and the social
feelings that belong to peace, and then, indeed
the republic of the United States shall come to
be, what the poet in years past depicted it
would be.
That land is like an eagle, whose young gaze
Feeds on the noon tide beam, whose golden plume
Floats noiseess on the storm; and in the blaze
Of sunshine CLEANS, when earth is wrapt in gloom.
An epitaph of glory, for the tomb
OF murdered Europe, small thy fame be made,
Great people! As the sands shall thou become!
Thy growth is swift mprn, when night must fade;
The multitudinous earth shall sleep meath thy shade!
1t is the work Of PEACE to do this Let,
then, the words Of an eloquent Senator-"give
us twenty FIVE years Of peace"-have an echo
in every breast, and be cherished in every
heart and then we shall find that other senti-
ments of the great man, who has gone from a
mong us but whose name can never die, or his
lessons be forgotten, 'Liberty and Union, one
and indissolube"- with them happiness
and prosperity going handin hand.-Baltimorc
