AsYLuMs FOR DRUNKARDs.-A movement
has commenced in New York and Boston in a
matter that one is surprised had not received
the attention of the benevolent years ago
Subscriptions are being raised to build asy-
lums for drunkards, where they may be re-
ceiYedl and Kept from temptation, and the dis
ease which the deprayed habit engendcrs,
treated-as it should be--by regular patho-
logical systen-like other bodily Affections. s.
The remedy of "moral suasion," which is the
only one that has been administered to the
victim of intemperance, is abeut as rational as
to tell a fever patient "to keep COOL" 1t is as
much public duty to provide an asylum for
the poor drunkard as for the insane; for they
are scarcely more accountable beings. the
chief difference between them is, one is self
inflicted, the other is by the hand of Provi-
dence. is thought they can be made self
supporting institutions, and funds are only
required for the erection of suitable buildings
and purchase of the grounds.

were named First Stickney, Second Stickney,

another family were named Joseph, And and

SIDE wheel. AND SCREW STEkMEas-The
New York Herald gives the following state
ment of the comparative advantages of side
wheel and screw steamships for ocean naYiga-
ton:
The introduction of the screw was at first
warmly opposed by scientific men. The idea
of working wheel, or an oar, or a revolving
blade entirely under water, was considered
illusofy. The resistance of the water to the
submerged screw as the vessel moved forward,
and the resistance of the back water accumu-
lated and dragged between the screw and the
stern of the vessel, were thought to he almost
equal to the force of the screw revolving
against the water behind it. The propelling
power was consiG cred to be nearly neutralized
by this resistance, while the side wheel, half
in air and half in water revolved without
those practical difficulties For time the
principle of screws was; left in doubt but lat
terly it has triumphed over every objection
By a skillful adjustment of its pitch, careful
modification the form and size of the blades,
and the shaping of the stern to which the
screw is attached, naval engineers have arrived
at very great accuracy in their calculations,
and pretty certain results in the construction
of their screw engines.
but there are other advantages enjoyed by
propellers, which cannot be obtained by the
side wheel steamers. First, in the COMPARE
tive cheapness of their construction Second,
in the contemporaries and regularity of the
action Of the screw, not attainable by the side
wheel IN rough weather. Third, in the abili-
ty to carry all sail, and embrace the full ad-
vantages of canvass whether going before the
wind or with the wind abeam. This the side
wheel steamer cannot do. Fourth, in facing a
head wind, as a propeller offers but little COM
parative resistance. A side wheel steamer of
fers with her wheel houses and upper works,
nearly double that of a transverse section of
her hull to the water line. Y " 81 r

NIoARAeUA.-TheN n. York Mirror, speak
ingSof the victories :of Gen. Walker at Mas
saya and Granada, says:
His good fortune is, doubtless, attributable,
in great degree, to the superiority of his
troops over the enervated Granzsdians; but it
is quite apparent, Also that the greater supe-
riority of his arms and munitions OF war con-
tributed to the result. But two or three days
previous to the conflicts, he received from this
city several hundred stand Of American min
MES, with several hundred Thousand rounds
of fixed ammunition, prepared for this highly
perfected arm; and also several cannon and
howitzers, with supply Of shells. The Amer
lean minnie is the United States standard
musket, altered and rifed, and it is said to be
superior to the French or English minnie; and
indeed its long range will enable light horse
artillery to be dispensed with. We learn that
in the trial practice had with this gun, near
this city, few months since, it was made to
send ball, of peculiar construction, between
2, 100 and 1900 yards Zone and quarter
miles) with much greater precision than can
be attained by the most improved cannon.-
The rifles furnished President Walker, we
learn, were altered FROM the muskets of a
somewhat famous lot, purchased few years
ago by Geo. Law, of New York, of the United
States; and from which, rumer also says, that
Russia, Sandman, English and Turkish troops,
in the late Crimean war, were all amply sup
piled at no little profit to the seller.

| SCOUNDRELS IN OFFICE.-The New York
Herald in its portraits of the new Common
Council just elected in New York, gives the
annexed account of some Of the men to whom
the interests of that great emporium are en-
trusted. The barbarism of the lower strata OF
civilizations working its way up through the
other layers of society, and may become the
superior by the operation of present causes, il
they remain unchecked. Il
One of the Aldermen elect is limned as a
man who fled from his country to the land oil
the free and the home of the brave, to shelter
himself from the vigilance of the law He set
! up business in a small way as q pugilist, and
was engaged as principal in several fights.
He was also kind enough to act as second in
several of these elegant exhibitions From
prize fighting to emigrant running is natural
transition, and our conScript father became a
runner But the emIgrant, business not being
: so lucrative as politics. he determined to help
save the Union and be elected Alderman, in
both of which attempts his efforts were
crowned with entire success. During the
election the eXuberance of his supporters
showed itself in some picturesque knock
downs, black eyes and bloody noses, but these
are only TIC play Iul eAulDltlOnS Oh excited de-
mocracy. This Alderman makes a pretty
picture, and we hope he will be appointed
Chairman of the Committee on Law He
must be well versed in the criminal CODE
Another Of the Corporation has figured in the
police reports rather extensively during the
past three months; and has penchant for get
ting drunk and kicking up rows in disreputa-
bic houses. These probably are only the
eccentricities of genius too long pent up
Portrait number three is Of a Councilman who
said to be tolerably well known among the
fancy" He recommended himself to the
sufrages of the voters of his district by walk
ing into station house and beating police
man in his bed. He was dismissed from the
police for misconduct. and is now returned by
a grateful community as a member of the Cor
poration. A fourth Councilman is said to be
a drunken lounger about engine houses; fifth
a dealer in old boot legs; and an assessor has
been indicated as an accessory in recent
murder. ~ al.-tq 7--.s. II

DUTIES oN|RAILReAD- IRoS.-I is expected
that another attempt will be made this winter
to induce Congress to refund the duties that
have been paid on imported railroad iron 1t
is calculated this would take from the treasu!
ry some ten or twelve millions of dollars and
give it back to Railroad Companies and their
stockholders II this-he done the roads that
have used domestic iron and have paid a price
that has, as bounty for protection, been
equal to the amount Of the duties are GER
tainly entitled to receive a sum, from the
treasury, that shall place them upon an
equality with the roads that have used the
foreign iron without duties. This would take
a few millions more, and probably absorb the
present surplus. If Congress could make a
stipulation that all roads receiving this gratui-
ty from the government should hereafter carry
the US. mails free of charge,or for moderate
fixed compensatory per mile, it might be avery
judicious disposition of the surplus revenue to
repay it to the railroads. And it might be
further enacted that alt roads who should
agree to carry the mails hereafter free of
charge should be entitled to receive their iron.
duty free. The government ought to adopt
some measure to protect itself from~the ex-
actions for carrying the mails by Railroad
Companies We are suffering inconceivable
Inconvenience from the obstinacy and SELFISH
ness Of road in this State, which we suppose
will be actively soliciting this bounty from
the government it attempts to impose upon.
