The Twenfy-Second-

This is the anniversary of him who al
most by the common consent of mankind
has received the glorious title of Father
of his Country, Grateful recollections
are an appropriate tribute to his memory,
and such other observances as are proper
to call to mind his great civil and military
services, and are consistent with that love
of public order which was so striking a
feature of his character. 1t is not merely
in the United States but wherever fervent
patriotism and disinterested public ser,
vices find admirers, there the name of
GEoRGE WASHINGTON is treasured as
household word; and if America had
given to mankind nothing but this, she
might still claim to have added to the his

Diplomatic Service.

Mr.. PUGH has, it seems, taken hold of the
subject of the National Diplomatic service with
a strong hand. The following paragraph from
the New York Tribune, gives some notion of the
radical character of his propositions. 1t is to
be hoped, though scarcely to be expected, that
the mOnstrous humbug that he has attacked will
fall beneath his efforts. We should not wonder
if he was a little appalled, at the magnitude of
the job he had undertaken, when looked at in
all its unwholesome entirety:
The Diplomatic service was yesterday dis
cussed in the Senate, when Mr.. Pugh, of Ohio,
moved to transform the present system, by abol-
ishng all regular Resident Ministers, and sub
stuting occasional ENJOYS, to be sent for spec .o
purposes, which must be declared by the 2 ros;
dent in nominating them. The salary g : oonL
Envoy, Mr.. Pugh proposed, should be fxed ot
$4,000 year, and that of his Secret ,rv Of To-
CATION at $4,000. He also moved tc abolish the
Office of Consul General; but, as IF alarmed y,
himself for having proposed a re form SO radical
and so truly democratic, he pre- sently took occa.
sion to abandon it, and NOV. e instead n Mill

Erlcssons Calorlc Engine.

There is employed to drive the machinery
engaged in printing this paper one of Ericsson 5
Caloric Engines-tbe first and only one of the
kind put in operation west of the Alleghanies.
They who have any doubt of the success of
this invention-so far as is concerned the ca
pacity, at an expense comparatively insigni6-
cant, to generate both motion and power-or
who have desire to witness the operation Of
q piece Of machinery interesting as we'll from
its history as its performances, are respectfully
invited to call and examine. That, in this
essay, the inventor has been able to contrive
the means to render available all the power of
which air employed expansively is capable, is
not probable; but that he has produced a
machine at once simple, curious, and valuable
in high degree, no one who sees it can deny.
In the history of the application of science
to the useful arts, there is scarcely any
thing more remarkable than the persistency
with which the inventor of this engine has ad-
hered to his idea of generating power by means
of heated hair-employing for the purpose
machinery not very dissimilar to the working
parts of a steam engine. We remember the
notice that began to be taken of the matter in
the scientific journals of the country, as early
as 1888, when it was thought by many that n
genuine success had been realized. The in
ventioH, however, did not at that time, acquire,
andIprobably did not deserve, favor as prac
ticable motive power. In 1852 Mr.. Ericsson
brought out his celebrated, but unfortunate,
calOric ship, under what we are bound to sup
pose favorable auspices to ensure success.
The result did not satisfy the expectations of
the parties interested, and the experiment
must be said to have been IL failure. The pre-
sent engine indicates important changes in his
views, and correspondent changes in his mode
of adapting his means 80 the end desired and
although it would be unsafe to pronounce such
completeness attained as to render its employ
ment advisable for general marine purposes,
it would not be easy to avoid conviction of
its value as standiu motive power for ma
chinery.
Besides the caloric engine, Mr.. Ericsson has
brought out, of his own invention, other ma
chinery of great value, The Ericsson pro-
peller, as it is called, is one of his devices
He stands high on the list of inventors of the
railway locomotive; and, like the celebrated
Marquis of Worcester seems TO have indicated
in advance of the realization, improvements
that may be made in almost every branch of
industry to which machinery can be applied.

The Hon. WmLIAMV. PECK, elected last

ate. He studied law in this city, we be-

tied at Portsmouth, where he has acquired
a fine reputation as a iurist and a judicial
officer. If he dispenses justice in his ma

Tuesday Morning, Feb. %, 1859.
To the Readers of '.The Press,


i have determined to appear before the
public as editor of THE PRESS, in which
capacity | design, so far as lies in my
power, to continue-under perhaps some
what more favorable circumstances-a
career pretty well, L think, identified in
the public mind with myself in the course
of connection of several years with an
other journal in this city. To my friends
and those who feel that something may
be done to me as to one who, while he
has been guilty of enough of errors and
oversights, has not faltered in respect to
integrity Of purpose it is proper for me to
say that sincerely desire the success of
this enterprise, and have Il pecuniary in
terest in the same
j do not deem it an act of unpardon-
able vanity in me to assume that, although
my name has not been laid before the
public in connection with the editorial
department of any newspaper, there is an
intellectual entity which the people of this
section of the United States understand
as belonging to myself There is known
to be human being, not destitute of quail
tiles that distinguish him from others of
his species, who has done certain things,
badly enough, perhaps, but so as, in the
minds of many, to give a sort of signif-
canoe to the name which he bears. All
men possess the right to emerge, at will,
from pre-existing states of impersOnality;
and at my resolution so to do, at this time,
nobody has any title to complain 1t was
through no fickleness of temper or sug-
gestiOn of private interest on my part,
that the relation that had 80 long and, on
my side at least, so pleasantly, existed
between myself and the readers of the
Cincinnati Commercial, came to an end.
The motives under which l acted were
such as it was difficult to resist; and on
their occurrence L felt as one who is sud
denly called upon to sever long-estab-
lished intimacy, that had grown into q
compact and enduring friendship. Such
relations are the basis of obligations
which no man has the right wantonly to
disregard. | was told that it would be
wrong for me to leave this city or to aban-
don profession in which-it was said
| had made myself useful to nv fellow
citizens; and my own convictions testified
to the justice of the suggestion. | have
not, therefore, needed much persuasion to
induce me to re-appear-if the expression
is correct as applied to one who never
had an actual appearance-in connection
with public journal in this city; nor do
l fear that ] shall be any less welcome to
my old friends hereabouts, in the columns
of the Press than | was in those of the
Commercial, TO myself, my course, dur
ing past years, has appeared to be that of
an honest, earnest man; nor am aware
OF any change in my own character cal
culated to render it otherwise in time to
come.
TO my many friends of the press, in
this and the neighboring States, who, ON
myretirement from the Commercial, spoke
of me and my course in terms of approval
far too fiattering indeed--such thanks
as one so poor as | am in anything else
can bestOw are due, from heart that is
more grateful than it can find words to
express. HENRY REED.
