Revolving Steel and Iron Forts:

Wcclip the following from the Philadelphia
Sunday Transcript of April goth:
There has been on exhibition for several
days, in the Treasury building. Washington,
one of the remarkable works Of inventive Gen.
ius which has ever como under our observation.
Ii is nineteen years since Timbcy's revolving
steel or iron battcrips were invented, models
made, and all the details laid before our Gov
crnment, and it is eight since they were conl-
municatcd to the French Government. The
the present model was finished in December
last, and is of itself beautiful exhibition of tho
manner that harbor and other defensive posi-
tions must, before long, bc fortified, and thus
rendered impossible to any foreign foe.
The vertical sides arepicrcedf for sixty guns
of any desirable calibrc, and range Of Shot
or shell arranged in three tiers, and present.
ing the guns to the object singly; that is, but
one "port" in line Of sight at a time. The
whole superstructure, which is to be above
ground. is made TO turn on its vertical axis by
a concealed steam power. say three hundred
horse engine; which engine is also to force
hot or cold air through the classmates for the
benefit Of the g; r ison. The guns occupy ga =
risons Of equal hight. in three tiers. When
the structure is put in motion. the whole num-
Der of guns will bear on the object every two
minutes, if it onlyfevolves at the rate Of ono
hundred and fifty in a minute, or one fourth
the speed ola man on an ordinary walk.
The officer in command takes his position in
the of the iron castle, where. under the upper
dome, there's a morrow opening through which
the light enters, and permits him to, SEQ out
through telescope or thcodolite, which iistru-
ment is fixed in n Dosition an n stand and Mat.

ings Of the Tumwater convention. We give
the resolutions introduced below.
The vote was upon each resolve separately.
The following whereas and first resolve were
adopted unanimously:
WHEREAS, There being no existing polit.
ical ISSUES to divide Union men into parties
at this time, and this Convention believing
that there should be no political tests, except
a true and hearty support Of the Union and
the Constitution, and
WHEREAS, This Convention believing that
it is the wish of the voters of the county, to
vote for men to fill the various offices, regard.
less of caucus conventions and mass meeting
nominations, Therefore be- it
Rcsolrcd, by Ills Contention, That when
we adjourn, we adjourn sine die, without nom
mating any candidates, believing the people
Of Thurston county sufficiently patriotic to
see to it, that 10 man is elected to ill any
Office, within their gift, who is not true I'm
ion man and determined, at all hazards, to
support the Constitution and the laws of his
country.
The vote OIL the following was declared
unanimous. One delegate responded: Il
presume must vote - but I'm agin its!
Rcaolrcd. That in the present struggle for
the perpetuity Of the Union, we have, with a
pride which only an American citizen can feel,
heard ct the recent successes Of the Federal
army, and only hope that it may continue to
yindicatc to the world the business of its
cause. and that ere long the power to do harm
be taken from those schcming demagogues,
the scccssionists of the South and the abol-
tonists of the North, who are alone to blame
for the existing dcplorable condition of our
/ country.
The following was rejected unanimous
ly:-
Rcsoired, That we heartily approve the
course pursued by Abraham Lincoln relative
to the uncalled for and u,.,oly rebellion, his
emancipation and compensation policy, and
majority of his other acts; and that we will
sustain him as long rs he continues to be q
constitutional President. and above the con-
tro! of the fanatic abolition clique that wish
to rule and ruin the Union.

SALMON AND CARRIBoo.-it would appear
from the accounts CT California papers that
the gold mines of Salmon River and Calviboo
are either greatly overrattd, or that their de-
velopment is considered antagonistic to the
bcss interests of that State. Granting that
that the latter supposition is correct, we can
rot give credence TO the many accounts Civ
en- of fabulous yields in both regions. We
see but one side of the story reflected in the
Portland and Victoria papers. The following
from the Herald and Mirror of late date
shows the opposite side: at would seem
that the great Salmon liver and Cariboo bulb
blcs have busted, Judging from the shower
of adventures returning. The steamer Pa
cjfc brought down about three hundred pas.
sengers ycsterday-about the maximum that
now leaves here by steamer in quest of the
fabulous wealth of those far OF diggings, and
Of the latter the greater part are English and
Canadians, Californians being well satisfied
that tho road to fortune does not lie in that
direction. We may expect hereafter that the
steamers plying to Portland and Victoria will
return with many more passengers than they
take thither. No doubt there are a great
many there now who would gladly return had
they the means. Should the Government be
compelled ere long to extend them aid in this
respect we should not be surprised"

Coon CArsE.-A correspondent writing to
the Yrcka Jou,nal, who signs her name " Sa-
rah Jaue," asks the editor some queer ques-
tions about the laws of California regarding
divorce. She says her husband Greats" her
" irst-rate"; she has "plenty to cat drink,
and wear, and don't have to work much"
EIc has but one fault, he sacyes This makes
the fair correspondent very unhappy. This
being tho only vulnerable point of attack, and
the lady, unfortunately, not being resident
of this Territory, she is unable to show "good
cause" She thus submits her case: If
there is any thing in this world that hate
and detcst it is person who snores; night
after night l liz awake. and not wink of
sleep do get from the time 60 to bed until
four o'clock in the morning. Sometimes l
get mad and hit him punch in the ribs-he
wakes up and asks what's the matterl
tell him to turn oser. that's hc is snoring.
Over he goes, and he scarcely strikes tho bed
before he is asleep again, and perhaps Fnoring
as loudly as ever" We sincerely hope the
lady will get divorce; she needs one but
if she can't. We think she had better let him
SLEEP, especially if he quits snoring.
