The Railroad has been in regular and successful operation for
more than two years, and its capacity for the transportation Of

their oil from Panama to New York during the present season,
and the Panama RAILROAD Company has made arrangements

been built In the bay Of Panama, to the end of which Freight
Cars are run to receive cargoes from lighters or vessels lying
alongside, and deliver the same alongside OF vessels at Aspin-

Spiritual and operate Performances.

Some time since we had occasion TO notice
new method to facilitate trade In the Bus
ton market, viz: the opening and furnish
ing of private room with liquors and CT
CARS, in leading jobbing establishment in
that CITY. Whether this new tangled "no-
ton" in the modern Athens has proved
profitable experiment or not. we are una
bic to say, but we are advised that SAID
fashion has recently been introduced in
to New York.
We are reliably informed that large bu-
siness firm in this city have now connected
with their establishment in full blast, we'll
furnished eating and drinking and smoking
saloon, where the customers Of the house are
regularly introduced at certain hours, and II
occasion requires, at intervals, several times
between. The "intitution aforesaid, it is re-
marked, is highly appreciated by the trade,
and works admirably" 1t sometimes hap
pens that the customers of this popular
house." in consequence of other engage
ments, are unable to call upon them daily.
A note is made of such absence, and, if 1t is
too long protracted, a young man Is dispatch
ed i'll the evening to the hotel with Il bottle
of wine, to Jog the memory OF the delin-
quent. Whether or not some stay away on
purpose to be thus logged" we are not at
PRESENT advised. We shall watch the work
ings of this progressive establishment, aud
may have occasion to aliudc tn it again.
Another large and wealthy house. also has
determined to lead off in another direction.
A highly respectable New Orleans merchant
has through the benevoIence Of said firm,
been put through the performances OF the
city-from the refining opera down to the
-. As in the first mentioned case, we
have reliable information, and beg to state
for the benefit of the public, that the bills
for all these entertainments and pertorman-
ces amounted to one hundred and twenty
dollars federal currency.
Now it is well understood that when old
cocks crow the young ones learn, and hence
the public need not be surprised at such de-
velopments as the recent detalcatlons and
other rascalities we read Of in the daily pa
pers. If our young men are educated IN
such commercial schools, it may be expected
that they will graduate with due honoTs.--

rilibust.ring Movement against Nicaragua.

Z
WASHINGTON, Oct. A month ago in
formation was received in this city of fill
clustering movements against Nicaragua
Although the statement was not fully cred
tied, il was deemed Of sufficient Importance
to Justify the issuance of instructions 10 the
proper federal officers 10 exercise more than
ordinary vigilance, the President himself
experimenting these precautionary mea-
sures. The recent advertisement IN the New
Orleans papers of steamship to start from
Mobile for Chirilui on the first OF October,
added to the other accommodating suspicious
circumstances attending the alleged con.em-
plated invasion of Nicaragua. But on IN
quiry of the collector at Mobile, nothing had
been heard to confirm TIE truth of the report
SO far as that port is concerned.
Within the present week reliable informa-
ton has been received here, as stated in the
general newspaper dispatch of yesterday,
that large number of strangers were IN
New Orleans. including many prominent
persons known to have been heretofore con-
nectcd with hlibustering enterprises. And
this, together with other circumstances excl
ted a suspicion in the mind of Collector Hatch
that they meditated an unlawful expedition
+, Late last night one hundred or hundred and
fifty of them lett that city, the presumption
being that they had gone to the Belize TO
await Il vessel.
| A clearance had been asked for the steam
err Philadelpha professedly for Chiriqui, but
which Collector Hatch refused for the rea-
sons above stated. The agent of the steamer
was persistent, and again applied for aclear-
ance, but met with no better success than at
first. Of these facts our government ~ IN
formed, and probably they are the only ones
| from an authentic source In its possession
Itis believed that this subject was to-day a
matter of Cabinet consideration. Orders
have been dispatched by telegraph To the COM
manding officer at Baton Rouge for concen-
trating and holding the federal military in re-
serve to be used, if necessary, rs posse
comilatuS for the enforcement Of the laws.
1t is believed here, and the facts which
have just transpired seem to warrant the
conclusion, that the tilibusters 80 arranged
! their plan "a to avail themselves of the ad-
vantages afforded by the reopening OF the
Nicaragua transit route for the accomplish
mcnt of their designs. The administration
/ is determined, by all the means i'll its power,
including the employment OF the land and
naval forces, to compel respect to the neutral.
ity laws.
New ORLEANS Oct. 4.-Collector Hatch
has refused clearance for the steamer Phil
| adelphia, for Aspinwall, it being alleged that
the steamer is engaged to take Gen. Walker
the flibuster, and two or three hundred men,
to Nicaragua.
New ORLEANS October At has been rs
certaincd that General Walker and his men
got oil last night. They sailed from Ber-
wick's bay this morning in their own steam
er without clearance.

Water Gas.

On Saturday evening last the city of VIII
mingtGn was lighted with gas made from
water, under the patent Of Professor Sanders,
of Cincinnati. 4 large company were pre-
sent to witness the success of the expert
ment. The Philadelphia journals furnish
accounts of the display which was effected
by turning off the supply of coal gas and
running the water-gas through the pipes.
The light produced is described rs thrice a.
brilliant and twice rs pure as any that the
citizens had before known; but the water-gas
requires n new kind Of burner, and it was
only where the new burners were used that
the light was superior. The theory Of Prof.
Sanders's process is thus stated:
water, rs steam, is decumposed by be-
ing passed over rcd-hot charcoal, and the
resulting gases-hydrogen, carbonlc oxide,
and light carburettcd hydrogen-arc chciai-
cally combined with heavy carburetted n.y.
drosen, or lght-giving gas, by the decompo-
sition of rpsin or coal-yappr simultaneously
with and in the presence of the decomposi-
ton of the vapor of water.
TO the non-scientiiic reader this explana-
ton may not be very Ineligible, and we
may therefore remark that from water alone
light-giying gas cannot be manufactured;
but by using the gases into which water can
be decomposed, in combination with the gases
produced by the decomposition of coal or
rosin. MI the light-giving properties of the
latter are preserved, and consequently there
is large economy over the old process.
"Rosin is used rs the carbonzing element
at Wilmington, and ii requires but from %
to 10 pounds of rosin to make thousand
feet of gas. By the customary mode Of gas
making but from five to seven feet of gas per
pound is produced 1t is claimed that by
Sanders process gas can be furnished 1T
from thirty to fifty cents per thousand feet.
"In this city we pay from $3.50 10 50 per
thousand feet for gas. Should the invcn-
ton prove to be all that is claimed for it, its
introduction in ali the cities and towns Of the
Union must follow. In this city alone it,
general use at fifty cents per thousand feet,
would cause Il saving to our citizens OF from
ten TO fifteen millions OF dollars year.
