OUR MILITARY STRENGTH AND
DEFENCES.

AT time when all Europe is rising in arms,
it becomes US to pause for moment in the
daily affairs of domestic concern, to reflect
upon our position before the world, and to ask
ourselves seriously whether we stand prepared
to meet the contingency of being involved in
war
We fear that the statesmen of this country
are not sufficiently alive to the importance Of
these considerations, and humbly submit a few
remarks based upon what we have had reason
to believe arc facts.
Perhaps no country in the world. with the
exception OF Russia, possesses within itself the
elements OF military power to the same degree
as the United States; for, leaving aside sulphur
our soil will yield every requisite for war We
can build ships, erect Notifications, make now.

scription, in quality and excellence surpassing
all other people-can supply, if needs be, count.
less numbers Of the bravest men, clothe them.
feed them, and pay them well. Yet we ask, are
we sure that we are strong as military power2
Are we prepared for war in these warlike
times? Here is the serious question. SO long
as our enemies are confined to this continent,
as in the case of Mexico, it is plain enough
that we must ever be triumphant But the
danger lies beyond the sea. Let not our states.

with the supposition that military strength lies

New AND POWERFUL MODE OF APPLYING

New AND POWERFUL MODE OF APPLYING
THE BRAKEs.-A few days ago, large number
of gentlemen assembled ut the depot of the Bos-
ton and Worcester railroad, for the purpose Of
witnessing experiments with new rail car
brake operator, which is thus described: ~
The improvement consists in the application
of powerful spring to the work of turning the
brakes instead Of by hand as heretofore. The
spring is contained in square box at the top
Of the car, from which shaft runs down and
connects with the break beneath the car A
wire chain runs along the top of all the
cars, and connects with every box, so that
the engineer, by pulling the end of the wire,
can remove the check from every spring
at the same instant allowing the springs to
operate and stop the train. The springs have
to be wound up with a few turns of lever be-
fore every operation, but this is but the work
Of moment. AT given signal, while train,
consisting of five cars, was going at the rate of
35 miles an hour, the engineer, it is said,
sounded his whistle and put on the brake,
which, according to the watches of several
gentlemen, completely stopped the train in
was given, and before the train had gone over
eight feet more than its length Another ex-
pertinent was then tried, in which the rear car
was suddenly disconnected from the train by
raising the coupling and inclosing the wire
above. The brakeman on the last car set the
spring in motion, and stopped the car so sud-
denly as almost to throw off several operators
who were standing on its platform, while the
train passed ahead. The wire-chain is coupled
between every car, but if a car should acciden.
tally break loose from the rear, the jerk upon
the wire would operate the brakes without fur
ther intervention, and stop all the cars.

A Coon SHoT.-Thc best repartee we have
lately seen comes from Prentice, the wag of the
Louisville Journal. The editor of the Alabama
Flag called it out, by the following squib |:
"Why is the editor of the Louisville Journals
career through life like celebrated tune? Be-
cause it is the rogue's march,
Prentice, who is " dead shot," loaded his
piece, and taking aim, let the Flag man have
it right in the teeth after the following manner,
70 wit: "Why will the editor of the Flag, at
the close Of his career through life be like n
tune Of Paganinis? Because he will be exc
euted on single string"

the desert afoot was more pleasant to talk
about than do; and heartily wished ourselves
back once more to the point whence we started.
Do what we could, the intolerably filthy dust,
the direct efluvia from which we could not
breathe, was gaining an entrance into our
lungs; our mouths could not be closed SO
firmly as to keep it out, and we had taste,
yea feast, Of the soil Of the Great Desert,
which, as before said, is not sand, but as vile
mixture as apothecary ever compounded.
1t is now nearly three days since we set out.
One srocco has followed another in rapid sue
cesson, and we have lost our whereabouts.
We have wandered on in hopes Of finding an
oasis, but without success. Turn which way
we may, we encounter nothing but clouds of
fine dust, and we are apprehensiye in regard to
our final safety. The respiratory organs Of
each individual of our party are becoming
hourly less capable Of performing their func-
tions, and to breathe is in many more no easy
matter. A dirty soil, ground to powder, is fly
ing in every direction, and no one OF Ns can
conjecture how long yet we must endure it be-
fore we can hope for any change.
Human nature can undergo much, but it
must yield amid such treatment as it receives
in the great desert where we are now. We
warn all to stay away, and not for personal
qualification, or any other reason, attempt a
repetition of our folly. We feel ourselves CON
stantly losing strength, and whatever be our
fate, while life lasts this journey across Sahara
will have place in our thoughts.
p. S.-Our party are still without shelter !;
the pitiless blast continues, and the chance of
safe return to our native land is becoming
less every moment.
We can almost imagine the writer of the
above derived his experience from transit
across Pennsylvania avenue, in the metropolis
of the Union during the present month.

The Clipper Ship Lightning.-The New

the Lightning, from this port TO Liverpool, twelve
days eighteen hours actual time" This is mis-
take She passed Boston light about three p. M
on the 18th ultimo, and probably passed the Bell
buoy, of Liverpool, on the 9TH instant, about 81
p. m. as she was spoken ten miles west of it at
n p. m, with a steamtug alongside. This will
make her actual time about thirteen days twenty
hours and this we say, with the Commceial Ad.
vsrissy, is the shortest passage yet made by a
sailing vessel" from this continent TO Liverpool
The passage Of the clipper-shp Red Jacket,
from New York. was over fifteen days. She sailed
from New York on the afternoon Of January O..
and arrived oTthe Bell buoy on the evening Of the
24th; We do not know the precise hours when
she let or arrived; but we have seen the report Of
the New York pilot who carried her TO sea, and
know by the Liverpool papers that she arrived on
the oath. The report, therefore, that she mads
the passage in thirteen days was mistake.

Respectfully,

CROSSING THE GREAT DESERT ON Foot
1t was on the 18th Of March, 1854, that our
party arrived at the borders of the Great De-
sert. The dangers of journey across had
often been told to us, but we had started with
q determination to pass over, and we cared not
now for the risks which we might have to en-
counter. In fact we were rather pleased that
the opportunity had at last come when we were
to enter upon a portion of our route which was
beset with more than ordinary perils, as we
had no doubt that we would overcome all these,
and We fancied that narrow escapes would ex-
cite and animate our spirits.
Nothing daunted, we moved for journey
afoot across Sahara. We soon repented our
rashness, and would have turned back, if pride
had not interposed objections to such course
The fact is, the dangers which we thought were
overrated by travellers are not half told; and
no one has an idea what they actually are
without personal experience. OF the first
sirocco which overlook us, we endeayored to
avoid the effects by lying with our faces upon
the ground but we discovered that by such
means our condition, instead of being inn
proved, was made worse. We could breathe
for moment little more freely, but this de-
sert, which we supposed was clean sand, is in
reality earth mixed with all kinds of filth, and
when the nose comes too near it the atmos-
phere is found so foul, that to inhale IL long is
destruction. We we're, therefore, quick in re-
gaining our former positions, when we were
able to realize some of the dangers by which
we were surrounded.
We could neither sec nor hear, because our
ewes and ears we're filed with this filthy dust,
which was also clogging our lungs, though we
tried our utmost to keep them free, being well
aware Of the consequences if our attempts to
effect this should fail. However, we bore up,
under the first visitation, and proceeded, after
il was partially over, but with less confidence
in our abilities, than we had before entertained.
We had an idea that these siroccos were not
often met with, but here again we we're mista-
ken. Hardly were we once more under way,
before along came another, and our party suf
fered severely. We concluded that crossing

The following manuscript having come into
my possession, I send it to you for publication
There can be little doubt that the party who
are telling this adventure have mistaken our
metropolis for the Great Desert Of Sahara
Such an error on their part is certainly excu-
sable Their fate seems involved in mystery
perhaps they will be discovered at some future
day, when it will be safe for the survivors to 90
out in search of the lost.

A Girl Killed In Stratford.-On Thursday,
March 10th, three children were at the house of
Jonathan M. Tuttle, in Stratford. One son Of Mr..
Tuttle about 10 years old, and one daughter about
years old, and a son Of Richa3i T. Foss about
10 years old. There loaded gun in the
house which the Foss boy took, and told the girl
he would shoot her. She ran under the bed 10 get
out of his way. He pointed the gun under the
bed and fred it off, The charge took effect in her
face and neck and killed her instantly. Whether
the boy knew the gnn was loaded or not, does not
appear nor does it appear whether the boy was
angry with her, or whether they were at play.
The Foss boy ran home as soon as il was done,
and the Tuttle boy, afler dragging the body Of his
sister from under the bed, which was on fire. ran

cured comfortable breakfast.
