CONSIDERING that Louis Gaylord Clark
- has been, for the urcxam pied period of
twenty years, editor of : leading Literary Mag
azine in this country that his labors mean
while have been constant, arduoUs ard ~ill-re-
quilted that they have been emincntly cred
table to his abilities and character, and of great
service TO his country IN developing its intel
iectual resources, several OF his friends met
together last December to devise some suitable
piaH for rendering to him a substantial compli-
mentary BENEFIT, in all respects appropriate for
the Literary Glass 10 offer, and for him to re-
ceive. The result was 4 project for publishing
such a work as is above described ; and upon
submitting the plan to Washington Irving, Will
liam e. Bryant, Fitz-Henry HaIlcck, Henry w.
Longfellow and other leading Literary men of
the United States, 1t received their cordial ap-
prevail so that the committee having the mat
ter in hand are able to announce for the ensu-
ing season 4 Literary Sovenic, beyond all par
ailel in the emineace of its writers and in me-
chanical execution equal at least to any sImi-
lar publication ever issued from the American
press. The collection of portraits of Ameri-
can writer's will be far more complete than any
hit! erto attempted.
The Knickerbocker Gallery will be publish
ed, under the direction of the committee, by
Mr.. Samuel Hueston, 34S Broad way, New York
and will be ready for delivery to subscribers in
September next. Subscribers will receive the
first impressions of the pi ates and the series
will possess a value much beyond the cost OF
the volume. The entire profits of the work
will be invested for Mr.. Clark.

sLF More suicides, murders, assaults, attempts
to commit crime, and violent deaths have lately
occurred in the Northern States than, perhaps.
ever before took place within the same space of
time. The South on the other hand has en-
joyed its usual freedom from scenes of violence.
The " Philosopher" of the New York Tribune,
and the whole brotherhood of Phanthropists"
are wont to parade before their readers with
minute crcumstantiality Of detail, every duel
and murder that takes place in the Southern
States. When new ones are scarce, they manu-
facture them to order, or revamp old ones to suit
the occasion.
We will venture the assertion that for every
horrible crime committed at the South, twenty
are committed at the North The readers of the
New York Tribune, Herald, and Times, which
usually publish every offence, from aggravated
murder, down to hen-roost robbery, need no course
ofreasoning to convince them Of the truth of our
assertion. The Tribune would accomplish FAR
more good by honest efforts to ameliorate the
ills, and punish the crimes that afIlict Northern
society, than it can hope ia accomplish by
railing at the South, vilfyng shareholders, and
abusing gentlemen who prefer honorable com bat
TO base murder.

and emolument under the Democratic party,
when they belong TO the only party that is oppos-

they expect 10 be permitted TO hold places OF

when the very rules of their organization require
them TO prescribe, ruthlcssly, every Democrat
that they have the power to proscrbe' Are they
better than other men, that their claim to perse-
cute and prescribe shall be allowed with all ex-
empton from retaliation Whenever and where

The STEAM WmsTLE.-Many persons who are
constantly in the way Of listening 10 the horrid
howl of the steam whistle arc unacquainted with
the mechanical means by which the effects are
produced. The whistle is formed Of two cups,
placed one above the other, and opening towards
one another. The lower cup is nearly filled by
ball or gland, so as TO leave a narrow amular
opening l-32 inch in width around the edge of the
cup. The upper cup is hollow, and its lower
edge is about one inch or ! inches from the
lower cup BY admitting steam through valve
to the lower cup, il escapes through an annular
opening and impinges against the edge Of the in
verted cup. This produces the sound The
heaviest whistles for locomotives are six inches
in diameter. The hollow upper cup is made of
sheet brass or copper.

u. S. PATENT OFFICE,
July d. lS55


GENTLEMEN: take this occasion to acknow-
ledge the receipt of your kind letter Of yesterday
and to assure you Of the very great qualification
| have felt in its perusal Though not Indifferent
to the good opinion and kindly feeling Of the pub
lic at large, my desire in that respect greatly in
creases as the circle diminishes Next to the ex-
istenee of kind and afectionate relations in my
own home, and among my kindred do prize
those which have existed between myself and the
employees Of the Patent Office during the past
two years. That my feelings towards you all are
reciprocated gives satisfaction which am
unable to express, and well repays me for what
ever Of toll and perplexity may sometimes have
had to encounter in the discharge of my official
duties.
The consciousness that the official relations
which have so tremendously existed between us
are now TO be severed causes me the deepest re-
greet. But power, almost amounting to neces-
sity, calls me in different direction, and must
yield to its summons. | leave with you, one and
all, my kindest regards, and hope you may long
continue to discharge the duties in which you are
now engaged TO the full satisfaction of yourselves
and the public.
] tender you, one and all, an affectionate fare
we'll
remain, very truly, yours,
