NEWLY INVENTED FIRE ENGINE.-Mr. F.
Drever, of Sonora, has invented new fire
engine, which the Herald thus describes:-
Its chief merit consists in combining a fire
engine and hose carriage in one machine,
and in having its principal parts made to
answer two or three distinct purposes The
shafts not only draw the engine and lay the
hose, but in working they stick out behind,
and are changed into four cranks; the wheels
become fly wheels, so necessary to uniform
motion; and the axeltree, cranks to work the
pumps, which are double action, with only
four valves for both. The pumps can be
turned into single action without even stop
ping the engine. The whole machine will
not be much heavier than an ordinary hose
carriage, and twenty-eight men can work it
to advantage. 1t can be constructed for
half the cost of any other engine Of the same
capabilities; and its inventor claims that, for
utility, simplicity and cheapness it can have
no equal.

Going to a goats house for wool, is not the
commerce, neither is applying to an editor,
the most proper way of ascertaining what
the law is upon mooted point. The ques
tions suggested by our correspondent SubsoI,
arecertainly quite important in their bearings
upon the interests Of many of our patrons in
this county. 1t strikes us tina: under the
law of Congress, the surveyors had no right
to survey the lands referred to in the man
rer in which they have, nor have the agents
Of the Government at the land Office a right
to sell them. Further than this we are un-
der the impression that party purchasing
will obtain no title, that the entire transac-
ton will be held fraud upon the act of
Congress. When an agent of the Govern
ment exceeds his powers his acts are voiable
if not void
The Presidents proclamation contains this
clause
No 'minera Uanas" or tracts containing
mineral deposits are to he offered at the
public sales, such mineral lo1,.}S being Hereby
expressly excepted and ercluded from sale or
other disposal pursuant to the requirements
of the act Of Congress, approved March Sd,
1858, entitled "An act to provide for the
survey Of the public lands in California, the
granting of pre-empton rights therein, and
for other purposes"
Now if the agents and purchasers can in
the face of this positive declaration contain
ed in the authority under which sale AID pur-
chase is made, procure good title we are
very much mistaken. When the paentee
from the United States attempt to stop the
operations Of the miner, cannot the latter
turn upon him and say, your deed conveys
nothing, the lands described therein being
mineral and not such as were authorized for
sale either by law or the proclamation Of the
President? Then will come up the question
of fact whether the land is mineral or not
upon the decision of which the rights of the
parties will turn. This opinion has been
written without any reference to authorities,
and may be somewhat on the Bunsbyan
principle.

PREACHING AT THE AsYLuM.-On Sunday
afternoon, says the San Joaquin Republican,
Rev. O. P. Fitzgerald, of the Methodist
Church South, and editor of the Pacific
Methodist, addressed the inmates of the In
sane Asylum. They were geathered near
the steps of the main entrance of the rear
of the building. The discourse was listened
to with the utmost attention, not sound or
whisper being heard of an irreverent or
improper nature. The behaviour of this con-
gregation indeed might be expected. The
females of the Asylum took part in the SER
vices, and joined their voices in singing the
hymns. We are informed by the physician,
that religious services of the kind are pro-
ductive of the happiest results, and are great
y enjoyed by those who attend them.

UNDERGRoUND TELEGRAPH TO CAL1FoR-
NIA.-We learn from the Cleveland Plain
dealer, that Messrs. O'Reily, Speed and
others are perfectng sort of narrow prairie
plow; with which to lay an unders round ca
bic through the western prairies, to Calfor-
MIA. The pow is to cut channel, say,
three inches wide and three feet deep, so
constructed as to pay out from the immedi-
ate heel of the plow the issolated wire, which
will be in no way connected with the plow,
other than passing down through it as it
progresses. 1t is expected that on common
prairie this p low may be driven from ten to
fifteen miles per day, filing in and covering
the wire as it goes. The perfection arrived
at in isolating wire with gutta percha is
very great; the machinery is so perfect and
condensed as to add much to the facility and
security of such an enterprise

PhillipG a Stafezmani

Within the whole range of Kansas
literature, we have found nothing to equal
the following, from the Kansas correspon-
dence of the Missouri Democrat. "Pll
puff you if you'll puff me-" has been a
characteristic trait with these letter-wri-
ters from the beginning. Phillips writes
Redpath into notoriety, while Spillman,
brother-in-law of Phillips, and Redpath
puff Phillips in return. But is not the
following "piled on little too thick?"
For sagacity, foresight, and every ele-
ment of craftsmanship, Mr.. Phillips has
no superior in Kansas; and but for the
rare modesty which, equally with his tai
ent, distinguishes him, would have held
long ago in eastern opinion the same po-
sition that he has actually held in Kan
sas-that of Header, honored and wor-
thy of the confidence of the Free State
tfien. Lane, alone, is equally popular,
but not more influential Between them
they rule the party, as far as political
leaders do"
Phillips complimented for toresigAt and
stdtesmanship, and has "not superior in
Kansas" Shades of the past! Is it not
to be regretted that we have fallen so
low as to have none to equal the "Brough-
am-like Scotchman?' We tremble for
our future. "Lane, alone, is equally
popular, but not more influential" "They
rule the party"
We have tried to impress it upon our
readers for long time that Phillips was
seeking to rule Kansas with an iron rod.
1t may not be generally known that his
colleagues, the fetter-writers, labored to
get DIR. Robinson to resign his place as
Governor under the Topeka Constitution,
the design being to elect Phillips in his
place, and then the Topeka Constitution
and Government was to be Sc: in motion
whether the people were willing or un-
willing. Robinson was not sufficiently
tractable to suit these men. He had too
much calculation about him to bring the
people in collision with Federal authority.
He had seen their determination not to
be embroiied at Topeka year and a
half ago, but not so with our statesman.
Mr.. Phillips. He is understood to stand
ready ''to pitch in" at any time, and he
desired to be Governor, though it were
only under the Topeka Constitution, that
he might show his 'statesmanship.n If
it were not for involving others beside
Phillips and his cohorts, we would join in
petition to DR.. R., praying him to resign
his position that Phillips might be elect.
ed to the highly responsible position he
aspires to! Lane and Phillips the leaders
OF the Free State party! The former, in
fact occupies, to some extent, the posi-
ton; but he is mighty careful to watch
the popular current, and very rarely is
found opposing it. A leader, we under
stand, to be one who goes ahead, and
paves the way for popular opinion which
follows. When was Lane or Phillips
ever known to lead the popular current
IN a contrary direction to which it was
already tending, and more particularly
the latter. Phillips leader, So is Mr..
linton leader Each has his party in
Kansas, but that party is too contemptible
in numbers and influence to occupy any
position even in name. Such leaders
Oh heaven, save us from the leadership
of such men.
