CoMPRgssED AIR L1coMoTIyEs.-Iti is said
that locomotives are now building for the
Hudson river railroad to be run by means
Of compressed air. Recent experiments, it
is said, give the following results, compared
with steam:
|. A reduction of twenty per cent. in the
cost of locomotives; 9, reduction of one
third in the number required for service; ),
a reduction of three-fourths of the present
expenses for repairs: +, a saving from in
creased durability in the ratio of SO to |, 5,
Il saving of one thlrd Of the tael;6 a saving
pf water: !, reduction Of three-fourths in
the washing and cleaning; 8, a reduction of
workshop expenses. Total saving ON prime
east amounting to one half, TO which may DO
added an immense saving in construction
ACCOUNT The difficulty arising from sup
plying the power at stations, without SEN
sibe loss of time, has been obviated by
method recently devised and patented.

To The Ladies of augusta.

We hope that 'Solliers' Aid Societes' will be
established in every neighborhood in this county
for the purpose of providing the gallant sons OF
Augusta, who have volunteeredto to defend the
honor and rights of tie South and to maintain
the Independence of the Confederate States,
with all the clothing that will be needed in the
ensuing Winter Campaign. Let sewiog and knit
ting societies be organized as soon as practicable.
To effect any object, there is nothing like organ
ization and associated effort. These societies
would be pleasant to the members, as they would
not only have the pleasure of good company, but
would enjoy the "luxary of doing good" We
know that with the ladies' to work for the sol
diers will be ''labor of love-" and they may
rest satisfied thatl it will not be "Ioves labor
lost" The ladies' OF the South are the best in
the world, aud the ladies of this county are as
good as any ia the South. Without the ladies
we would not have country worth defending
