THE EXPERIMENT SUCCESSFUL. = In the pre-

Canal street being densely crowded, and the
neighboring windows and balconies being living

last evening tested herself, as well as the reser-

tain the capacity of the water-works to supply
her with water needful for fiery calamity.
We are glad to state that it was soon proved
chat a more enormous suction than that of the
Young America would be requisite to absorb
the water offered by the subterranean pipes.

nearly two hundred feet--the well flooded over

scene was witnessed with the greatest interest
by the thousands Of people present, many Indies
being of the number, who remained until o
storm of rain came along and dispersed them.
The Democratic platform, which fiinched 80 ter
ribly on the recent occasion Of its first use by
the Democracy, was again tested By as many
members Of the Young American party as could
possibly pile themselves upon it; and on this
occasion it never finched in the least--soipe
thing rather singular,
The.capacity Of the water works to supply the
steam FIRE engine having been satisfactorily
ascertained, we presume that other reservoirs
will now be sunk in other places, wherever The

M1sssspPr-on the 10th inst, says the
Natchez Courier, difficulty occurred in Quit
man between two Germans, Jacob Marks, q
merchant of that place, and j. W. Winternitz,
j butcher In the fight Winternitz was cut
through the arm near the shoulder with large
knife, which divided many Of the large blood
vessels, not involving, however, the bracbial
artery. Mortifcation supervened and the arm
was amputated. His recovery is extremely
doubtful. The Intelligencer says that as the
matter is to undergo Judicial investigation, it
deems it improper to attempt to detail the facts,
except what all agree in, that Winternitz com
menced the fight. Mr.. Marks seems to be
deeply distressed, and manifests much concern
about the wounded mans recovery, having
proferred to pay all necessary expensestor medi-
CAL aid.
The Coffeeville Herald, of the 18th, says:
