PHILADELPHIA. Sept. IN.

The Press replying to the vulgar and per-
sistent abuse Of the Associated Press, their
agents and the American Telegraphic COM
pany by one of its city contemporaries, re-
torts with equal severity and justice. Hav-
ing been read out of the Association the
Ledger resorts TO divers expedients to con-
vey the foreign news into its pages without
paying for it. One day last week it de-
layed its city impression to snatch the for
eign news from an early acquired copy OF
one of the morning papers. Yesterday il took
whot appeared i'm the second edition Of Mon
day afternoon papers. The Press OF yes
terday contained a full column of foreign
news by the Anglo Sa1on equivalent to a
cOlamn and half in the Ledger, while the
the stolen matter the Ledger did not amount
to oue-fifth that quantity. Omit the foreign
news and the fortune telling advertisements
and the Ledger will be like the play of
Hamlet "with Hamlet omitted by particu-
lar request" yet the Ledger ADVISES the AS
sociated Press while il steals its foreign
news. In this connection il may not be
amis to state that the Ledger, owned by two
of the principal stockholders and managers
of the magnetic telegraph company, rival
OF the American telegraph company south
of this city, ceased To he n member of the
Associated Press, chiefly for tire reason that
the Association would not countenance the
bare-taced imposition of the Nova Scotia
telegrap company, in its arrangement with
private news speculstors who secured the alb
solute control of the wires between Halifax
and Sackvils, for six hours consecutively,
from the moment the European steamers
orrive in The port Of Halifax. ..
The American Telegraph Company TO their
everlasting honor, refused to sanction its
arrangement of the news spectators, and
insisted upon the only just rule, "first come,
first served" The managers of tho Ledger
were enraged at the conduct of the Associ-
ated Press and the American Telegraph
Company, and hence the reason the Ledger
is obliged to resort to the disreputable con-
duct which one of its city contemporaries ex-
poses.

\ NEW Work Many new branch.s
OF mechanical business have been started ia
this city, within the hast year OF wiich ou'
citizens generally seem to have taken no
note. Among them is a new shop fc' una
king bellows. Heretofore We have received
all our blacksmith and other hollow from
PItlsburg and Louisville ;--now til, ere
manufactured here in quantities to 'uPidy
the full demand Of the trade which r~n'ris
at this point. Mr. +. Lighteniield, near the
High School House, has shop where he Is
turning out Blacksmith's bellows OF all
sizes, and of quality and finish, that are
not surpassed by any manufacturer in the
country. They have the preference over
the articles made at Louisville, and are sold
at prices that secure them ready sale. We
are adding one new branch of mechanical
labor after another to our manufactures,
till in a short time the whole circle Of our
mechanical trades will be complete, and
we shall be prepared to supply from our
own shops all the wants OF the country
around us.

STEAM ESGINE.-At a special meeting Of
the Council, yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Latta,
manufacturer of steam FIRE engines, in Gin
cinnati, proposed to bring one Of his engines
to our city, and exhibit its suitableness for
extinguishing fires. The Council instructed
him to bring the engine, during the District
Fair, and agreed to pay him SIS, and also
to pay the freight from Cincinnati TO this
point and back, in case they did not keep
the machine. IL they conclude to buy it,
after fair test of its merits, there will be
nothing to pay for bringing it here except
the freight. 49, s.t
Mr. l.atta's price for the engine that lIo
thinks would suit our city is $500. The
weight of the engine is about 1900 pounds.
1t will throw a l inch stream from 225 TO
$50 feet, horizontal and will force stream
of water through 1000 feet of hose, nnd
over the roofs Of the highest buildings in
the place. The exhibition of the engine
will be An additional attraction Ia our Fair,
and may induce many Io atteud Who wo,,ld
otherwise stay away.
We trust the Union Fire Company may
have their new engine on hand, so that oar
people can Judge whether the steam engine
is as much the superior OF the hand engine
as will make up for the difference in the
first cost, as well as the cost OF running aud
keeping in repairs.

NEW STEANBOATs.-The hull for the ma
chinery of the Southern Belle, is nearly
completed at Paducah, and is expected here
in two or three weeks, to receive her ma
chinery and cabin. We are informed that
the hull is one of the finest models ever
turned off the stocks at Paducah. Her car
rying capacity, we are told, will be about
1000 tons.
The hull for the Ravens machinery, built
at Mound City, will be here in a few days
to receive her engines and upper works.
The cabins for both boats are being pre-
pared by Mr.. Thompson, at his shop near
the cold Blue Wave House" on Water st.
He has sections of the beautiful railing for

which exhibit specimens of scroll saving OF
