THE New STEAM FIRE ENGINE OF THE PENN
sYLvANrANs.-The Pennsylvania Fire Compa-
ny No. II, on Saturday evening last housed
their new steam fire engine, built for them to
order by Neatie & Co., of Philadelphia.
Without pecuniary assistance from any
source, the Pennsylvanians themselves have
paid for the engine, and have liquidated all
charges on its account, amounting, in the ag-
gregate, to large sum. Such public spirit
certainly deserves the highest commentator
The hose cart, which was designed by r. V.
McCully, and built by Robert Glazier, Of
Philadelphia, is at once strong, light and ell
egant. Its wheels, like those of the engine
are constructed of well seasoned hickory.
and finished in handsome style. A tender
attached to the engine, carries a supply OF
fuel etc. We are informed that steam can be
got up in nine minutes and that in eleven
and a half minutes head of forty pounds of
steam can be raised, sufficient, under any
circumstances, for working the engine This
is the first steam fire engine ever owned upon
the Pacific coast the one sent out via the
lsthmus for the Monumental Company not
having yet been accepted by them.-S +.

also that South Carolina is "sick of the

IT is fact which speaks very little for the
good sense of the people of California, that
we should have sent to Washington two Rep
resentatives who actually and seriously en-
tertain the idea of establishing what they
are pleased to term Pacific Republic; yet,
there is consolation in the thought that their
monstrous suggestions on the subject have
met with little or no response from the peo-
ple. That men like Scott and Burch, claim
ing to represent the sentiments and wishes
of a sensible people, should have had no
more foresight than they have exhibited in
this instance, appears simply ridiculous

COLONEL CoRCoRAN, of the sixty-ninth re
giment of New York State Militia, disregard
ed the order of General Sanford to parade
with his regiment on the occasion of the re-
ception of the Prince of Wales. For this he
has been court-martialed. John Mitchell, in
one of his letters from Paris, speaks thus of
the affair:
1sit possible that General Sanford really
and seriously imagined Col. Corcoran would
parade his regiment in honor of the Queen of
England's son? Is it possible that Ameri-
cans generally do not respect both officers
and men for their spirited refusal l find it
very difficult TO conceive that Col. Corcoran
is actually to be tried by a crurt martial for
this military olfense. If the Americans think
tit not only themselves TO glorify King
George the Thirds great grandson, but to
require their Irish fellow-citizens to parade
in honor of Queen Victoria's son, there is no
help for it. The degradation must be with
stood at all risk and hazards We must re-
fuse to greet the heir of that sovereign whose
reign will one day be a blot in history, as the
era in which the fairest, richest island that
the sun sees in his daily Journey was turned
into place of skulls and GoIgotha of dead
mems bones, by the very prudent legislation
of her Majesty's minister and parliament 1t
is easy to understand the administration of
Ireland in Elizabeths reign, when Lord
Mountjoy was enabled "by the blessing of
God" to give the island over to her majesty
nothing but carcasses and ashes" That was
a simple and straightforward sort of transac-
ton but in this new and strange case
where the carnage was ten times as great
desolators and butchers were only "ameliora-
ting" all the time Their sentiments were
most humane, but the superabundant produce
of the island could not be reached by its fam
ishing inhabitants, and at the end Of four or
five years of such benevolent attention "the
Celts were gone, and gone with a vengeance. y
Is it not rather too strong to ask some of the
same Celts so gone with vengeance" TO
bow their heads and present arms before a
son of the woman in whose name and by
whose authority all these unutterable woes
and agonies were inflicted?
