As regards the revival Of the African
slave trade, l think it is most GnfQrtunate
issue. Being clearly impossible in the Union
cannot see what good can possibly result
from its agitation. BESIDES. the tendency Of
this agitation is to divide and distract the
South, when, above all things, we need unity,
harmony and concert of ae:iop at the South;
But if these considerations are not conca-

the African slave trade insuperable. To 60

Increasing the Power Of Locomotives.

Ihe Importance of increasing the power

interesting attempts by Mr. E. w. Serrel-
a name we'll known in scientific circles-to
magnetise the driving wheels, to obtain ad-
ditional adhesion Before doing so. exten-
sive inquiry was made in this country and
Europe, as to whether previously ascertained
facts indicated the probability of success,
the responses being in the negative. The
result of these experiments 10y Mr. S. is,
therefore. much more than was Anticipated

ed opinions, it was found that upon curving
