A FoRrHcovlHG WoSDER According
10 q correspondent of Herapath's Jour
nal, steam power is 20 be superseded
by "Poulson's Patent Pendulum T-lcver,r
which will be brought before the public in
a short time. Two men, in sitting posi-
ton, will be able with ease to propeI a
railway engine Of twenty-five horse power,
with its full complement Of carriages, at
any speed to be attained by steam power.
The tenders and boilers Of the preset en-
gne will be no longer required, and the
new engines will he constructed of about
one fourth of the weight, and at, say, one
sixth or one eighth the cost. The wheels
nnd frames Of the present engines will be
available for the new onc.-GioJc
The time will soon come when a man will
lie able to wheel himself about in a wheel
barrow. A few years ago the steam en-
gine was the chief wonder of the world,
and it was thought nothing would ever be
invented to supcrscde it. 1t was hailed as
q great labor and expense saving machine,
and has been applied to all manner of pur-
poses for which motive power was nccessa-
ry but in this age of projects and inven-
tions, VIC are told that steam is too costly,
that it is dangerous power, and that
something else must be discovered combin-
ing power, speed, economy and safety
Accordingly Mr., ErricSon contrived hot.
air engine, and so nearly successful was he,
in appling it to the propulsion of ships,
that all those interested in steam naviga-
tion, stood aghast, thinking the days Of
steam were numbered, and that they, in
self preservation, would be obliged to adopt
the new motor Mr.. Erricson, however,
did not succeed, and steam rose again.
Now we are to have Poulson's Patent
Pendulum T-lcyer, by which, two men can
ride whole nation to market on q rail-
One beauty of the new machine is, that
the old fashioned locomotives can be work
ed up into the modern article except the
boilers or engines, as mems old clothes are
made into. new ones for boys. Verify,
"God made man upright but he hath
sought out many Inventions"

MORE TERRIroRY. According to the
Washington correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Ledger, Santa Anna is prepared
to,sell to the United States another slice
Of the Mexican Republic. OF course we
shall buy we need more territory. He
says Fa
,'n 1T is known here that Santa Anna has
made overtures to this Government that
he is quite ready to dispose of anotherslico
! Of his mongrel republic. The oyertures
which have been made on this subject have
been faTorably received but Santa Anna
will not easily negotiate with Mr.. Gadsden,
who is decidedly unpopular in Mexico. Ii
II is intended to purchase some new terri
tory, it is certainly not expedient to let
money go ont OF the treasury; and it may
be well, for that purpose, not to legislate
too hastily for the tariff. We shall see
what the House will do on that subject to-
morrow. Ny opinion is, the matter will be
de6ntiveiy dropped for the session. The
next Congress win not be at all troubled
by the accommodation of the Secretary el
theTreasury in regard to it,"

celebrated Plancha de la Plata mines, are
south of the Gadsden purchase The Oh
jcct of Count Boulbon's expedition was to
obtain possession of these mines and they
were embraced in the original boundary, as
proposed by the Gadsdcn treaty. The
claims of American citizens upon the Gov
ernment of Mexico, which were noticed in

or seven millions, and can be paid in no
other way than by a ccSsion Of territory,

PERPETUAL MoTioN.-Eureka Steam
engines may cease their laborcd breath
ings, and with all their adjuncts Of boilers,
spafk-catchers, srokc-consumcrs, and other
patent fixtures, retire 10 the rust Of OBJ
scurity. Torrents need no longer be dam
med, or doomed 10 seryic work nor
, the windmill beat with ponderous strokes
the rushing air. Even horsepower ,,
shall soon be known only as measure
ment Of force; and the history of dogcarts
shall go down the current of time with
ancient fables, Illustrated only Ly fancy
pictures Not only this, but laboring mus
cles Of man may have long holiday; his
patent reapcrs and field-rakes, his shingle
machines, and his hand organs shall now
''all go OF themselves Good housewives
may set their own churns in motion with q
wink, and sewing machines on the new
principle shall take away the vocation Of
poor seamstresses' societies. Mr.. James
G. Hendrickson, Of Freehold, Monmouth
Co, New Jersey, "has gone and done it."
After 40 years Of patient whiting" he
has made a machine that will not only
'go ITSELF but will compel divers other
bodies to which it is attached, TO go like
wise: in short it has power! The success
is In tho direction in which SO many have
so long labored in. vain, viz, by the use Of
arms and balls attached to sylender SO as
to keep the extra weight always on one
side, and therefore to give the cylinder q
constant inclination to turn around. The
machine requires no starting; take away
the blocks and it goes off "lke thing ol
life" The model was in our Office yester.
day, and attached to some clock work,
which it turned without once stopping to
breathe We see no reason why it would
not go until worn out Whether on o
large scale the principle would be available,
We are not prepared to say; it would be
rather awkward TO man at first, as the
power could not bc turned of, and il
would have to be managed like skittisb
horse, l. G. either hitched or held by the
bride. If it should take to going faster,
we think the contingent force acquired BY
the balls rolling back to the centre; but O
this we can judge better when it is put t
its speed. Mr.. Hendrickson will tax,
some steps to remuneratc himself for hi
years Of trial, and it is probable will before
longexibity his model at some place in th'
city, where the curious may satisfy them
selves Of its merits. After a careful ex
animation, We can safely say, in all serious
ness, that the propelling power is selfcon
tanned, and selfadjustiug, and gives suffi
GENTLY active force to carry ordinary clock
work and oil without any winding up o.
replenishing.-NenV YORK Journal Of Com

Wisconsin Liquor Law.

The N. Y. Tribune gives the following
paragraph in relation to the Governor of
Wisconsin vetoing the Prohibitory Law
passed by the Legislature of that State
.Gov. Bnrstow, of Wisconsin, has again
taken his position on the Rum Platform
He has second time vetoed the Prohibto-
ry Law. which had been enacted by large
majority in the Legislature. The new bill
was free from the features objected to by
the Governor in his first veto. lis Excel
cellency was nicely cornered, but he was too
fully committed TO the Rum interest to give
his signature to any bill for the suppression
oil Incompetence A meeting of the Mil
waukee rumsellers was convened to rel ice
over Barstow's first veto, and we suppose
this movement will be followed up By that
frat rnity elsewhere. The friends of Teui-
perance will be perfectly satisfied with the
peoples verdict"
