Thar "sKwInr. We yesterday stated that
a steam ere engine, from the Machine works oi
Lea a Co., N r., was Ia the city, and would bs
exhibited in the afternoon. The engine was
brought out to the corner Of Main and Third
by about 3s or 40 men Of the Neptune oompa.
ny, about O'Clock P. NJ, and after Il had been
looked upon by very large number Of our
fremen aud citizens generally, the "boys" took
a run with her out Sd st. to Ludlow and back
when she was piled with water and fuel, the
latter lighted, and soon after, she was taken at
pretty lively run out Sd to the Basin, opposite
the Public Square, and commenced throwing
water from the Basin in just 10 minutes 1--WE
were told) from the time the fuel was lighted
At the corner Of Main and Third.
This being the frst steam FIRE engine ever
brought here, it attracted very large crowd oi
persons to the vicinity Of the Public Square
During her stay at that point, we presume that
the greater portion Of our business and profes,
sional men, and all the idlers and loafers In oui
city witnessed the trial.
The engine was stationed about 900 feet from
the Sd st. bridge. and she thew tremendous
stream of water through different sized nozHles
a great distance--yariously estimated at from
oOO 10 300 feet; the latter distance We feel sure
is an exaggerated one A gentleman who stood
on the Cd st. bridge informs us that the spray
made his clothing very damp 1t must be
taken into consideration that during the whole
time Of throwing, the wind was against the full
development Of distance; as the water is scani
In the canal the men were required TO throw the
stream back again, aud the wind blew strong
against the stream. The distance made by the
water would doubtless have been greater had
the persons in charge Of the pipe been allowed
to throw in any direction they preferred.
The steam engine yesterday established the
fact that IL is great institution, and capable
of "squshlng out" a FIRE in very short order
1t throws monstrous flood Of water, and
works right straight ahead, without firing OF
stopping. Whether it will keep in order,
and always be fright on the goose" we can
not say. II is claimed for IL by Mr.. Leon
ard, one of the builders who is here, that 1t il
not near as liable to get out Of order as the hand
machines, and We learn that he will warrant il
for year against all ordinary chances Of mis-
hap.
II was the purpose Oftbe manufacturers tS
sell the engine to the Neptune company. or t'
the city, we learn. Whether we will have on'
or more Oflhese FIRE engines here remains to b.
seen. They are good institutions. but whether
all things cons idered, they would be preferred
10 hand engines, is a question 10 be settled By
our people.

HUNAN MAGNETISM The Lecture Of Prof.
Smith at Huston Hall last night was very well
attended, and the people seemed pleased with
his efforts. He succeeded in getting quite a
number under the influence. and he will doubt
less succeed better to>night. We learn that
about three years since while Prof Smith was
lecturing at Huston, Capt. Andrews Of the
Navy, was brought in for trial Of Magnetism
For nearly two years he had been afflicted with
Paralysis Of one side, from hand to foot. He
had but little feeling, or muscular control in that
side and could not talk intelligibly. A fair
trial Of medicines, under the best medical ad
vice. had been made and failed Prof. Smith
undertook his case; the fifth sitting succeeded
in putting him into the Magnetic state, and in
less than len days from the commencement ef-
fected perfect cure. To the establishment oi
all he eau outrun the Professor.
Esq. Baldwin, an eminent Lawyer Of Huston
who was a member Of Prof Smiths Private
Glass in Magnetism, writes as follows;
HUsroS, Aug. IL, 1858.
al saw your patient Andrews (lhe one palsied
on his sidt) few weeks since, aud he told m,
with smile that came from the bottom Of hi
soul, that he was "well as ever" Your cur
of him was most extraordinary, and you maJ
congratulate yourself upon so distinguished
success. Very truly your fTeind,

Photographers, Sd ST., north side. near Main
conceived the notion yesterday when the steam
fire engine was brought to the corner Of Sd ano
Main, to take a photograph Of it, and the
crowd which surrounded it. No sooner dsei
ded upon than he brought his "institutiOn" tc
bear upon them, and the result. was that he
succeeded in taking two excellent pictures oi
the machine and the crowd Of curious men and
boys who surrounded it. We have seen these
pictures, and we can readily recognize many Of
our citizens who were present on the occasion
The photographs are on small plates, but we
learn that Mr.. B. intends reproducing them on
large sized plates. They will form an attrac-
ton at his door

CAMELs-A letter has recently been re-
ceived by the Secretary of War from Super
intendent Beale, dated Fort TETON, Calilor-
mia, in which the writer speaks in the
strongest terms Of the great advantage to be
derived from the employment Of oamels in
the public service in the West. He states
that he lately tried effeotually the compare
tive value Of mules and camels as pack ami
mails, and the experiment proved beyond
all question the great superiority OF tht
camel, both as regards rate Of speed and
amount of burden. From what he haC
read, he dreaded the difficulties which
seemed to present themselves in breeding
them; but his experience had satisfied hin
that they were as easily bred as COWS anC
calves He prefers them, for oil such pur
poses that he has engaged them on, Il

mules Il Washington Star.

He is the most appropriate man for the par

most likely set Seward, Chase, Banks, Cam

to force him on the track. As Mr. Chase
told the "0pposition" at Cincinnati within

view of the assurance he made in HIS late
speech at Cincinnati, he could not be pre-"
vailed upon to take chance for the Senate
this winter, on any terms 1t had generally
been supposed that he was candidate, but
in alluding to the report that he was he as
sured them that he was not candidate for
any office. The baggage man at Lebanon
has got the Cincinnati papers with that
speech in it laid away, we suppose, and Gov.
Chase being "man of his word" he will
not be in any persons way next winter
