The Mechanical Genius of the Conn.

IIy'
The annual report of the United States Pat
ent Office shows that the march of invention is
exceedingly rapid. Two ponderous volumes.
embracing descriptions of the mechanical i'm.
Provements patented during the year 1855.
have just been issued from that Office. Thev
demonstrate that the number of applica.
tions made to the Office for Patents. was
4,435, being nearly twice the number of
applications made in 1853. The number of
patents issued was 2,024, more than twice the
number granted two years ago. In lS45-ten
years previous-the cash receipts of the office
were S39'395, while last year they were $2I6,
459, or five and.a half times greater. :,
In this report we behold record of the pro-
gress of American mind in the line of inven.
ton for facilitating mechanical operations
Yankee ingenuity certainly surpassess that of
the rest of the world. In the pages of the re.
port are described machines for decreasing the
labor in every department of agriculture, and
mading it more profitable; for working in all
kinds of metal, and for fbrile and textile sub.
new devices for the many manufac.
lures depending upon improved chemical pro-
cesses; improvements in steam, gas and fire
machines for boring wells aud rocks.
lredging machines, and indeed, something use.
ul in every department of industry. If any
,ther country can show such chronicle of the |
triumph of inventive industry we should like to
zee it. ~ %. t...s...It

to be the Empire State of the South. She has
made more progress in the manufactures than
any of them, and her internal resources are
now greater than any State south of Mason g.

has a one system of railroads which undoubted-

FROM WASHINGTON.
THE NICARAGUA QUESTION.
rom Our Special Core spordent.


WASHINGTON, Monday. May 5, 1856.
1t has been currently reported here for some
days that the Administl alton would recognize
Walkers Government and receive his new P,eni-
poten,iary 1t is undoubtedly true that i, has
been urgently pushed up to this point both from
wtht ut and from within. Davis aud Gushing and
Dobbin ard McClellard, in the Cabinet, and Doug
las and Weller and Cnss without, as well as many
otfers, have urged upon the President the policy
and propriety If taking this step. Mr. Pierce hates
to refuse any urgent appeal in which many
political frields unite, just at this delicate
crisis in his political fortunes. Besides, be is
unwilling to Lore any political advantages which
]hte aid ard counteDance to the fll,busters would
give TO him. But here BIZ is between two fires.
The Conservatism of the South is over fearful of a
man in the Presidential Chsir who is disposed TO
trihe with the coDbustible elements of the country
Thus circumstanced he is compelled to act with
circumspection. Dir. Marcy is phegmatic and no.
10 be costly moved, and does rot concur with the
recon MI ndatiOn 10 rush 10 the rescue Of Walker
1t may be- set down therefore, still questionable
what tie Administration will do in the pres
awkward predicament to recognize Walkers
Government now, after having once refused
to do so, sId then have the next intelli.
genee from n csragua announce that his power
was oyerthrown and himself and his followers
driven into the lake. 1t seems moot likely, there
fore, that further tidings will be waited for before
the question il determined. If transpring events
do not decide it, it will be determine ed pot-
cal questions for tie most part are, mainly in ref
er.nce to the opinions Of Southern statesmen.
Where these do not conflict the decision Of any
question Of administration is easy and prompts bu.
where there is diversity, as in this case time aud
consideration are requisite. 1t is satisfaction
to feel that while the statesmen Of tho South have
tie deciion Of our public questions, that their
judgments qualified aud recti6ed BY diversity
# sentiment amopg themselves. 1t would net be
fair, however, to ignore the fusnce and determl.
nation Of Mr.. Marcy, touching the subjects which
belong purely to his department, for in these it ia
urquestonable that his judgments are independent
and iDfeAibe.

Mr. Douglas Gays, in his speech in the Senate
on Nicaraguan affairs, THAT be proposes that we
"sbsll enforce our neutrality laws as they read
"ard SIS they mean" But in making this declara-
ton, Mr.. Douglas, we apprehend, must be under
stocd to intend, as is so customary with hin. the
direct opposite of what he says. The enforcement
of the neutrality laws which lie proposes is no
doubt of the same sort with hat enforcement of che
principle of Squatter Sovereignty which he now
advocates. What be really means, and the whole
context of his speech shows it. is not only that the
Walker fllibuster Government should be recog-
nzed, but that his aders aud abettora here should
be allowed every facility in sending him supplies Of
men aud aims.
1t is understood that division Of opinion has all
along existed in the Cabinet as to what should be
done with Walker and his fillibusters. That differ
ence indeed has been curiously exhibited in the
policy actually pursued. The country appears to
Rave been divided terrltOrslly between the two OPP
posing sections of the Cabinet New York seems
to have been assigned to Marcy, and here some at
te mpts have been made to enforce the neutrality
laws. N.w-Orlt ans on the other hand appears to
have been resigned TO Gushing and Davis, and sup
plies to Walker both of men and arms, have been
freely dispatched from that port without even the
slightest attempt at hinderance.
