WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP

DECAY OF A VENERABLE WASHINGTON lNSTt-
TUTIoN.-The old colored woodsawyer with pad
on knee and buck on back, so long known as
fixture on the sunny side of the various wood
yards of the Federal Metropolis is fast passing
away. Steam is celebrating him, as it has
already oblterated from the knowledge of this
generation a multitude of the methods and
modes of the last generation. The Troy coach,
for instance, is utterly unknown to many Of
our fellow-citizens who have arrived at mans
age, though the time was, not long since, when
their construction was as familiar to all as that
Of the hack coach of the times. Steam is saw
ing and splitting fre-wood for US so as to save
half the late cost of those SO necessary opera
tons, while performing them much more salts
factorily to the consumer of fire wood than be-
lore. AS not one in a hundred Of our readers
have yet witnessed the operation of either of
the two sets Of machinery for the purpose in
our midst-that of our enterprising neighbors,
the Messrs Gait, ON Twelfth street, or of Mr..
Paynter, at the foot of Seventh street,-we ad-
wise all curious to observe their operation to
pay one or the other of them a visit
A day or two since our curiosity induced us
to drive down to witness the working of the
machine Of Mr.. Paynter. 1t is driven by a
| ten-hOrse steam engine, that drives the saw
and the splitter, as well as n saw capable of
saving 1000 feet of lumber per diem A rail-
way running between the engine and the saw,
extends out into the middle of the pile of wood
in the ood-yard; hand-car plies upon it, on
which cord of wood is loaded at time, and
boy moves it backward and forth between
the circular saw and the wood pile The saw
yer takes the wood, stick by stick from it, and
holds it to the saw, the length of the cut being
regulated by guagc. The piece cut falls on
to table over which the splitter works per-
pendicularly. This splitter is single wedge,
knife-like, foot long on the edge each time
it dcscends it does sure work, splitting the
largest knots in the toughest hickory After
holding the wood being split under il one way.
the man in attendance reverses its position.
and splits the many pieces (Of the Iog) at right
angles to the former splitting. This work is
done quite a. fast as the saving, which is very
rapid operation.
Attached to the machine is also a saw of the
diameter of four feet designed to be used in the
woods in cutting up timber of the diameter of
four feet. Timber that large is also split by
different ard heavier splitter. Both these arc
used to saw and split four sticks. foot in di-
ametcr, at time. They are held to the saw
in sort of clamp; and, being sawed. the four
cuts are placed in sort of frame of sheet-ron
and held under the larger cutter, which splits
oil four at blow As easily. apparently, as the
smaller splitter, axe. or knife. splits one ON
the whole, this machine is an important and
valuable one to the domestic comfort and econ
omy of all housekcerers burning fire wood; and
We regard its perfection and use as a substan-
tial sep forward in the march Of the mechanic
arts.

TIE FEELING IN WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Oct Il, 1859.
Great interest has been manifested to-day by
citizens in respect to the affair at Harpers Ferry,
though the dispatches from that point all attribute
tie insurrectiOn 20 persons aiming to bring about
general negro risiDg against their masters. Many
persons here, and among them some Democrats,
sti sdhere to the belief that the grievances OF
operatives upon me public works are at the bottom
of the disturbances.
The States today tss rather an infiimmatory
article sgsiost Republicans as the responsible party
to the ousbresk at Hsrpers Ferry, and hints at
ednls sgainst Abolition ,ympathizers in This
city
So isr as TIE latter are concerned, do net hear
Of much public response TO The States's article
The negroes IL reabouts have been much fright
ened, but il is not they, but those who syDpathize
with them, who came in FOX the Invocation OF
vengeance.
Gov. Wise has undoubtedly telegrsphed 20 the
President for al authorization 70 him of full pow
els IN respect 10 affairs at Harpers Ferry, but this
has been refused.
When passing through here this morning, he de-
csred for martial lag az the sea. of insurrection
and Sas for fusilsdDg the Incur gents, though the
Ives Of Wssbip gton sud Dsngerfeld were lost.
He said that these persons could not die in better
cause

THE QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.

WAsHISGToN, Tuesday, Oct. Is, 1859.
The President, Secretary Of Stse, and Secretary OF
War we're together several hours to day on matters
connected with the proceedings at IIarpers Ferry,
the result of the conference was, the sending OF
District Attorney Ould thither to superintend legal
proceedings in the premises.
The excitement which last night existed in Washing
ton and its neghborhoo1, has subsidized, and the ex-
taordirs,y force has been relieved
II is said that this affair at Darpers Ferry is the
fret case which mas occurred in this country in
yolvirg at the time beth State and Federal ju.
risdcton While the State is affected az TO Slavery
aud locality, the Federal Government is interested
with regard public property, it having exclusive
control over arsenal grounds independently Of the
State and also with regard to the mails.
Already, 10 distinguished quarters the question Of
jurisdiction s discussed Governor Wise will, it is
SAID clam the prisoners now held by the Uoted States
troops 10 be dealt with according to the laws OF Viz
guia. In this the question of jurisdiction will
have to be determined by the judiciary.
Six companies ofthe Virginia military, 300 rank and
file, arrived here this evening en- route for Harper
Ferry, bat be6g cOuntermanied they will return this
evening. They present q fine appearance, having
with them all the appliances for campaign.
