NorIcE.-lOfic of the n. Y. d E. Railroad
Co, New York, Oct. Is, 1856. Am opportunity
having been given to all competent Engineers of
this Road, who had not taken an active part in
exciting the recent difficulties, to return to work,
and number of such having neglected TO en-
brace the opportunity, it is deemed proper to
state, for the information of other Engineers and
the public, that they have been PAID OFF, and
will not hereafter be employed by this Company
under any circumstances.
1t is deemed expedient to make this state
ment, inssmuch as they are endeavoring to de-
ter other Engineers from accepting service, by
representing that in short time the Company
would re engage them and displace the new En-
gineers; and, also, by misrePresenting the rules
of the Road, anu using other unfair measures to
accomplish that purpose.
The Company having already secured suffi-
cient number of Engineers to run their passen-
ger and most of their freight trains, and having
engaged others, who will report themselves for
duly in a few days, require nothing further Of
those who have left the service, than that they
peacefully leave the Read in our quiet and un-
obstructed possession.

dispassionate view of the machines on exhib-

deserved. For the information OF the public we
add below the result as announced on trial.

MEssRs EDITORs "A telegraphIc communlea-
ton of the following purport has been issued
at Buffalo, October II, evideutly by party un
friendly to the interest of the New York and
Erie Railroad
BUFFALO, October IL.
"The difficulties between the Superintendent,
Directors and Engineers of the New foFk and
Erie Railroad still continue unsettled, and but
few, if any, of the latter have as yet returned
to their work.
"The business of tie road is, necessarily,
somewhat deranged, and trains are reported as
running very Irregular"
The above communication would convey the
impression that there remained a controversy
vet to be settled By inserting the following
uotiee, issued by the President, referring to this
difficulty, you will confer favor on the Com
pany and the public at large, who feel an in
terest in the firm establishment frules tending
to the more perfect safety of life and property
intrusted to the charge of Railroad employees.
Without discussing the merits or dement's of the
question at issue between Mr.. McCALLUM and
the Engineers, is sufficient to say tha! the rule
complained of has been submitted to the Rail-
road Commissioners in the State OF New ork,
and approved as absolutely necessary for the
protection Of life and property 1t may not De
improper also to state that two serious accidents
have occurred during The past six months on an
important thoroughlare in the State OF n York,
where many valuable lives have been sacrificed
to the on-observance of the rule complained OF.
II is equally proper to state that during the past
two years over eight millions miles have been
run on the New York and Erie Railroad subject
to this rule, and not the life of passenger has
been sacrificed on an Express passenger train
a result almost without parallel on this conti-
nent.
The places Of some one hundred and fifty En-
gineers (who combined to defeat the operations
of this great thoroughfare) are being rapidly
filled with equally competent and skillful men.
The subscriber left New York on the 18th inst,
A. NJ, and came over the New York and Eric
Railroad, and arrived in Buffalo $50 P. NJ same
day, with four passenger cars well filled, on
time.
All express, passenger, as well as all freight
trains, are now running with great regularity
and safety No violence has been used, or ap-
ticipated, to obstruct the peaceful moving of the
trains, and much credit is due the Directors and
President for their frmness in sustaining Mr..
McCallum, their very able Superintendent, on
this occasion. BF. SMITH,

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT CoURT.-Before His
Hon. Judge Nelson, NoUem6sr %, 1856
George w. Emery rs Richard II. Pedse..
The bill in this cause to restrain the defend
ant from manufacturing an endless chain horse
power claimed to he an infringement upon let
"a, 1866, and assigned to the plaintiff The
parties both reside in Albany and are engaged
in the manufacture of agricultural implements.
The plaintiff, by virtue of his patent, claims
the exclusive right to make and vend horse
powers so constructed that different degrees
of velocity and power may be produced in the
same machine by changes of tire geering, and
it was claimed that Horace L. Emery was the
first inventor of this device, and that the sex
celsior Horse Power" of which the defendant
is the proprietor and manufacturer, embraced
the mean feature of novelty which gave value
to the Emery machine, and hence was the in
fringement. The case came before the Court
upon the bill, answer, and affidavits pro and
con-, on a motion by the plaintiff for an injunc-
ton to restrain the defendant from making and
vending for use the Excelsior Horse Power"
which has already obtained great celebrity as
al article of value.
The motion was resisted upon various grounds.
First, That Philip H. Kells, of Clavcrack, Colum~
bia county, n. Y, the real inventor of all EN-
braced in the Emery patent which Of any prac.
teal value, and that all beyond what Kells had in
vented was frivolous.
Second, That the Emery patent was obtained
from the Patent Office in the maine of Horace l..
Emery by fraud and with view OF depriving Kes
of the Just reward of bis invention.
Third, That the Excelsior Horse Power" was
not Infringement of the Emery patent, but differ
cd materially from that of Emery, and was vastly a
superior article.
Upon hearing the papers read and the nature of
the two machines explained from models produced
in court Judge Nelson promptly refused the njunc
ton, deciding that upon the papers before him it
clearly appeared that Kes the first inventor
of material part of that embraced in the Emery
patent and also that the papers disclosed facts
dcring il quite probable that the patent had been
obtained ia the name of Emery by the practice OF
bad faith towards Kells, and upon this point r. ere
a sufficient question to be submitted to jury
if the plaintiff persisted in his claim The motion
made by the plaintiff for an injunction was there
fore denied.
