Senator Johnsonss speech.
WASHINGTON. Feb. s

The great speech OF Senator Johnson of
Tennessee, is tae universal topic Of Discus
sion his denunciations OF secessionists we're
terrific and overwhelming; he did not hest
tate to hold up as traitors the late Senators
who had committed themselves as leaders in
secession and rebellion.
Mr.. Chase, of Ohio, expressed himself as
particularly gratifed with ex.President Ty-
ler's speech in the Convention and assured
him, rs NEST Of the other Commissioners did,
that they were ready 20 follow where vir-
ginia led. The hopes Of the Union men are
high tonight. In the peace Congress to-day
notice was given that Massachusetts would
send Commissioners. The motive for no,
proceeding to business was the desire to wait
fer the Missouri, Illinois, Texas and New
York delegations.

IF you invest money in tools, and then
leave them exposed to the weather, il is
the same as loaning money to a spendthrft

cases.
If you invest money in books and never

money into a bank but, never drawing
either principle or interest.
If You invest money in fine stock and
&c not feed and protect them, and prop
erly care for them, it is the same as dress
ing your wife in silk TO do kitchen work.
If You invest your money in choice
fruits and do not guard and give them a
chance to grow and prove their value, it is
the same as putting a good hand into the
field with poor tools to work with.
IF you invest your money in a fine
house and do not SO cultivate your mind

aud refinement, it is as if you were to wear

If you invest your money in strong

If you invest your money in every new

An Internal Machine.

An Internal machine, designed by the
rebels to blow up the Pawnee and the
vessels of the Potomac fotilla, which was
set adrift near Acquia Creek, was picked
up on the TIA inst, floating toward the
Pawnee. TIE followinc description Of the
article has been sent to the Navy Depart
ment Two large so gallon oil casks, per-
fectly water-tight, acting as buoys, connect
ed by Is fathoms Of 81 inch rope, buoyed
with large squares of cork every two feet
secured to casks by iron handles. A heavy
bomb Of boiler iron, fitted with brass tap
aud filled with powder is suspended to tie
casks, six feet under water. On top Of
the cask is a wooden box, with fuse in .
guttapercha tube. In the center Of the
cork is a platform in a crest length Of fuse
coiled away occupying the middle OF the
case.
Ii was intended by the contriyers ofthis
weapon Of civilized warfare, that the shock
Of collision should light the fuse. The
machine was first discovered by the Pawnee
on Sunday, while lying off Acquia Greek,
in company with the Freedom and two Of
three other vessels The commander o.
the former seeing the object floating
toward the fleet, sent out small boats
crew to make an investigation. The ma
chine was transferred to the Freedom and
brought TO the Washington Navy Yard
where it attracted the attention Of hundreds
of curious but cautious spectators.
