The WINANs' STEAMER.-A correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal from Baltimore. gives the following account
of this novel boat, and eccentric
rode down to see the famous Winans' steamer. 1t
lies off couple of miles from the main part of the city
The steamer does not impress very favoraby. 1t
resembles wine terce, heightened out 235 feet and
coming to point. The diameter, at the widest is but
sixteen feet, and the space fenced off the top
deck is but five feet wide single rope down to
the point either eide to enable the sailor to reach the
extremity in of need The vessel is broken up into
compartments and the sides of the chambers used for
berths The engines in the centre of the boat But
crowded all the small apartments, that the steer
age, the cabins and engine all seem to into
the other, with the kitchen thrown in It seemed as if
inside of great boer-which is the fact ex-
cept that the ends are sharp instead of being blunt
exceedingly pleased with the constructor and owner,
Mr. Winans He seems to be any thing but visionary
man. His father Ross Winans, and himself Thomas
craft. They made hs-,nee fertna, " the Russian
trade, and the father believe, is in Russia The
younger Mr. Wnans is not far from forty years of age.
He is of vast wealth. He lives in princely STYLE
in the upper part of the city and has palace of walks,
statuay works of art and taste such seldom
in city. His residence and grounds occupy a full
square. Some time since, complaint made by some
of the astdious that some of his satuary was not
fully clothed it should be. Mr.. Wnans said not
word but he proceeded to build close brick wall ten
feet high all around the grounds and it looks like
pententiary yard without and resembles Paradise with
in. He has lodge at his high iron gate. No con
enter the locked door till he rings the bell and gets
permission and this be gained by stranger only
at certain hours of the day.
Mr. Wnans contends that his vessel contains princi-
pie that will revoutionize the mode of constructing
steam vessels and while his plan is not yet perfect so
far all things have answered his expectations. The
steamer has made thirty three trips, and in all of them
has done all that he desired She is wholly of iron she
has no keel, no sails, no mast, rigging; she has
rudder at either end which for keel Her
chinery and her ballast to keep her from rolling
When fitted for sea, she has board 800 tons of
COAL carries 20 passengers specie and the u s. mails
She has made in her trial trips the speed of eighteen
miles an hour She has four engnes, with three-fod
more power than the most powerful steam packet
built. As she lies in the water, she looks like huge
cigar. One would think of going to
Down East log and travelled from stem to stern

better calculated to land her passengers at Davy Jones'
locker than any other destination

KETCHUM'S
Celebrated Mo wing Machine.

After many years experience in the manufac-
ture, sale and use Of Mowers and Reapers, and
with our present Improvements added, which
have been thoroughly proved, we can recommend
the ketchun Machine without any fear or mis-
giving, and do honestly believe, that it is he ma
chine above all others, in cutting grass or grain,
with the ieost drdught the gTed,est econc7ay and
success Of any in use. The machinery and gear
ing is so simple that any person, even boy, can
manage it; and with the Reaper attachment,
which can he added at any time, it requires with
gentle team but one man TO drive and rake off
the grain. The machine is so constructed as 70
combine great strength and durability with the
smallest possible weight; the cutters are so
formed as to prevent en- irey the liability to clog
1t may be stopped and started in wet and IL dyed
grass without backing 1t has a wheel and lever
attachment by which the operator can instantly
raise the cutter-bar six or eight inches to pass
over obstruction 4, and while raised the machine
may be drawn to and from the field, &c. The
cutter-bar being always on line with the axis
of the driving-wheel, this machine operates
well on rough and uneven ground, where other
machines cannot NOV. Ii can be instantly thrown
out of or into gear, by means Of q short lever
which can be operated with ease by the drive on
the seat. The machine is constituted entirely of
iron, and the very best kind and its parts are 70
adjusted and guarded against accidents, that it
requires but little more attention to keep it in
working order than the common scythe. Our
one horse machine has given great satisfaction,
and is just the thing for many farmers.
