THE ENGLISH MAMMOTH STEAMER.


Ihs building Of this enormous steamer BY the
English, has decidedly taken some wind out Of
American enterprise on a scale one might talk abOut
Still ere long we expect to see one from Jonathan
that win out do the Great Eastern, which is now
being finished of in the Victoria Dock, near LOa-
don.
A correspondent Of the Carolina Tines takes some
interest in the Great Eastern narrates his intSr-
view with her, and gives the following fasts and
sumisss:
The Great Eastern is Of two hundred and twenty
two thousand five hundred tons burden. When YOU
remember that the Persia and Adriatie, the two
largest steamers ahoat, do not exceed four thousand
TONS you have small data upon which to base your
ideas Of this wonderful conception. Her length is
more than the eighth Of mile-beinR six hundred
and eighty feet, her breadth eighty and her
depth Of hold sixty feet. As she stands on the
stocks so great is the elevation Of her decks that
fine view Is afforded from them of the surrounding
country and city. Her engines are of three tbous-
and horse power. One thousand horse power will
be provided for the side paddle wheels and the re-
malnder for the screws. The paddle wheels them
selves make respectable sized amphitheatre being
one hundred and twenty feet in circumference. One
hundred furnaces required 10 heat the ten boil
ers that viii generate the steam necessary to drive
her through the water. Besides her engines she
--'~ nNFNA AAttsbog 5bfbtAl OF kuem square
rugged
She is calculated to carry ten thousand persons
but the company hope to clear expenses if they can
average four thousand. She will carry ten life boats
but each Of them to be comp ste screw steamers
Her entire weight is to rest upon two immense era
dies, upon which she is to be lowered to low water
mark by hydraulic pressure, and then at high tide
she IS to float away, the queen Of the seas. Her
speed IS estimated at an average Of fifteen miles an
hour which viii take her to America in four DAYS
and India, by the Cape in thirty, or to Australia in
thlrty-hye days. Her first trip to be to America
where the directors expect to make speculation by
making her spectacle. But what does this concep-
ton necessitate the seas? Already it is deter
mined TO issue daily paper on board, and will
there not be necessity for a police lawyers doc
tors, and may be hangmen? Win it not necessitate
a Mayor and Aldermen to issue tavern licenses and
an armed force to put down rebellion? If she will
not carry steam cars she will carry steam boats and
telegraphs are necessity, for it is arranged that
her officers shall communicate by telegraph. Her
launch IS expected to take place in the coming fall
An old lady once, in taking passage across the ocean
was very careful TO ascertain the thickness of the
ships planks, and this has been omitted above
The Great Eastern has planks about her, is en-
tlrely Of iron, the sheets Of which are all three
quarters Of an inch thick and as she is double cased

ANOTHER ALIAS

The facility with which the opposition change
their party name has been frequently the subject of
amusing comment. In several Of the New England
States they now style themselves " the Union party
NOT party ready to uphold and perpetuate the
Union Of the States, but party which owes its
present temporary, misehievous existence to union
Of AbOlitiOnists, Black Republicans, Know Notbings
lnhdels and lunatics. In alludng to the fusion or
"uniOn party the Nsag Hapsn Register well re-
marks
This is the tWenty-ffth name that the opponents
Of democracy have taken in the present generation
and we now predict that they will get logged out OF
this, just as they have been from al the rest before
the year is out. Their names have been generally
goodi there could be none better than Whig. Repub
hcan, or American; the three last used up 1t is
however the bad conduct, the unpatriotic and trail
torous ends Of their leaders, that renders it imma
terlal what name they take. They have no national
principles, no fixed pOlicy-no common bond of un-
Ion They trust to nothing but some momentary
excItement-sOme side issue-some new humbug
about negroes, and having no confidence in the
masses Of the people, they live on delusion, and
make merchandise of irzas

THE LATE ST. LOUIS ELECTION

In the recent City elections, in St. Louis. there
were three parties in the field, Black Republican.
Democratic and Know Nothing. The first received.
5,4S7 vOtesi second, 8,759, and the third, 1881.
The st. Louis Leader, the able and bold organ of
the Democracy, acknowledges the disgrace, SAYING
there is no use crying over split milk. The Blair
Winner Black Republican sol disqHt Emancipation
party, have carried the City" and declares that it
Z" had no idea there were so many white men in St.
Louis disposed to hob mob with negroes.
The spectacle is a sad one to contemplate. It
will send thrill Of joy, and be hailed with delight
throughout the Black Republican camp
Know Nothingism in the South, ever ready to
clutch some prop with which to stay the falling for
tunes Of Samuel, will doubtless charge this mel
anehOly result to "foreign influence, and it is
well just now to spike the gun before its contents
are turned loose.
The Leader, speaking of those who resisted the
Black Republican organization, says:
We are now the strongest wing Of the opposition
to RepUblicaDism and the Americans are completely
disOrganized: We have carried the mass of the
Irish vote-this is the healthiest accession that we
could possibly receive But for a few Office holders
and friends OF office holders, who were looking after
their bread and butter, and candidly admitted the
fact, we would have got every man Of them The
Irish, indeed, have done nobly and we do not re-
pent Of q single sacrifice we ever made in the de-
fence Of their rights.
The foreigner, then, did his duty. But the
Yankees-the nature traitors who have colonised St.
Louis, did the infamous deed and placed her in the
Black Republican column. Let this fact be remem-
bered
