The work on the splendid steam-frigate Wabash
IS progressing rapidly at the Brooklyn hayward
Her immense crank is under the cranes in the ma
chlne-shop, receiving new unter-balances. The
long line of engine-shafting has been found to be
out of line, which caused by the frgate settling
amidships New sets of delivery valves, with in
creased area of discharge, different shaft brasses
and new universal continings, being prepared
for her. The propeller shaft passing through the
dead-wood will be cased anew with brass and ill
revolve in Hgnum vitae sleeves. Chief Engineer
King is determined to render the entire machinery

guns, weighing G3 cwt.; and sixteen thirty-two
Founders, weighing SO cwt. About eighty-ive
shot, forty loaded and forty-fve unloaded, is the
complement OF ammunition supplied for the battery
during the cruise.
BY the Mersey steamer which arrived at South
ampton, England, with South American dates to
the 9th of August, We learn that the United States
brig Dolphin was at Montevideoon the oath of that
month, to sail for the States in day or two. The
Congress, and Pulaski were at other ports on the
station. The new steam gunboat Seminole, from
Norfolk, had Joined the fleet; and had received
orders from the commander chief relative to
her initiatOry movements with the squadron The
Seminole worked comparatively well on the vOy-
age south She is the first steamer ever sent for
ordinary squadron duty to Brazil. 1t was rumOred
that the surveying party had sailed for the United
States. No American marines sailors were re-
qured on shore at ''the Mount" as everything was
quiet there.
The machinery of the new steam corvette Pensa-
cola is nearly finished at " ashing gton, and will be
put on board that vessel in few weeks, at the navy
yard OF the national capital, to which she will re-
move from Norfolk. The Pensacola has not as yet
been assigned to squadron duty
We have by the California mail some particulars
of the defeat of Major Thomas command of the
Second cavalry, by Camanche Indians. The troops
and redkius met on the 25th of August, and after
a sharp fight OF some hours the former had to re-
treat, several of the men being wounded. The gal
lant major was badly, but not seriouly hurt. No
lives were lost on the soldiers side, but the Ind-
ans casualties not reported.
Major Donaldson, of the army, now stationed in
the far West, has sent to Baltimore very novel
prize, captured from the Indians 1t consists of
whole herd of four-horned rams, which was cap
tured from the Navajos in 1855, and of course was
condemned as an honorable military prize. Wheth-
er the privates and non commissioned officers who
assisted in taking it have been rewarded, is not
stated.

The STORM IN NoRFoLK.-The storm in Norfolk
on Friday night was very severe. The Day Book
of Saturday evening says:
All around the wharves in Portsmouth, yester-
day, evidences of the severity of the storm were
plainly evident; floating timber that had been
washed away was abundant, and many cellars were
overhowed. The streets presented the appearance
of canals, and uprooted trees and blown down
fences were plentiful. The damage to property is
considerable; the roof of house the outskirts
of the town was completely taken off, while Chin
ney pots and flying tiles filled the air in all direc-
tons.

REPORTING MACHINE IN PRosPEcr-The Able
Laborde has invented an apparatus for registering
sounds, much less costly than any hitherto ma e
The invention is interesting, since it is a step to-
ward the invention of machines which shall gradu-
ally advance from registering sounds to registering
syllabies and words. As soon as the wit of man
has invented a machine as delicate as the human
ear, we shall have reporting machines. The idea
Is certainly far less astonishing than that of the da-
guerreotype before its invention If the vibrations
of light, so much finer than those of sound are
made to register themselves with such wonderful
accuracy, why may not the vibrations of sound be
made to do the same ?-Scientifc American.
