~ We have made the above REDUCTION IN PRI-
CES with the fold view Of benehtting the public and
ourselves The public have been swlnded by spurious
machines made in imitation of ours. The metal in them
from the iron casting to the smallest piece is OF poor
quality Their makers have not the means to do their
work we'll. They hid away in secret places where
it would be impossible to have at their command, the
Croper mechanical appliances. 1t is only by doing
great business and having extensive manufacturing
tablishments that good nachnes can be made at mod
crate prices. The best designed machines, BADLY
MADE, are always liable to get out of order, and
sure 20 cost considerable trouble and money to keep
them in repair. . O.. ..t f.... /
The qualities to be looked for in Machine are GER
tainty action at all rates Of speed simplicity
OF construction great durability, and rapidly Of operas
ton with the least labor. Machines TO combine these
essential qualities, must be made Of the BEET metal and
finished to perfection. We have the ways and MEANS
on grand scale to do this.
The purchasers OF machines, whose daily bread i. may
concern will find that those having the above qualities
not only work well at rapid well as sloao rates Of
speed but last long in the finest possible working order
Our Machines, as made 6y u.s. will earn more money

The FINAL PASSAGE OF THE DEMAND NOTE BILL
BY THE SENArE.-The Demand Note bill has
come from the Senate with the legal tender
clause and the clause for the payment of inte-
rest in specie. These two important features
of the bill have been retained, and we have no
doubt that the House of Representatives will
accept the amendments of the Senate, and that
the bill will very soon become law. The
payment of the interest in gold cannot reason
ably be objected to when the bill makes the
notes legal tender. The specie payment of
the interest is the best feature of the bill. The
amendment of Mr.. Simmons, adopted by the
Senate, is not of much account, and its final
adoption or rejection is of little consequence.
With or without this amendment the bill renders
the notes about as good as gold-better secured
than the notes of the Bank Of England, if the
Tax bill be only brought forward Immediately
and passed into law. The annual produc-
tions of the country are worth $500, 900 900
(nineteen hundred millions of dollars); to say
nothing Of the accumulated property, worth
sixteen thousand millions. By a proper tax
bill those productions and that property
will be pledged as security for the notes
and what other paper money in the world has
as good q basis as that? There ought to be no
depreciation, and there cannot be unless with
great mismanagement on the part Of the 60.
vernment or its agents. Let tho Tax bill be
produced.

Our IRON wALLs-THE GuyBoAr BRANCH OF
Our NAVAL SERvIcE.-The result of Commo.
dore Foote'S brilliant operations against Fort
Henry has been of moro advantage to us than
the mere capture of that important strategic
point. 1t has demonstrated beyond all ques-
tion the superiority Of iron plated over every
other description Of war vessel, and has shown,
besides, the power Of gunboats thus clad to
reduce the strongest land Notifications. Had
the vessels that made this attack on Fort Henry
been unprotected by iron, there is no doubt
that every one of them would have been sunk
by the tremendous fire of the rebel batteries.
The number Of indentations made in the iron
coating Of their hulls by the heavy balls
discharged by the latter prove that they
must have speedily succumbed.
Nearly all these boats were old river steam
ers, and, Of course, were neither as scientifically
modelled nor as strong as If they had been spe-
cially built for the purpose. We may judge
from their performance on this occasion what
the efficiency of the new gunboats will be
which are about to be constructed under the
recent act Of Congress. To their prompt reduc-
ton Of the rebel fort we owe the equally prompt
passage of that measure, which but for it would
have dragged on TO the end of the session. We
shall probably also owe to the casualty that be
fell the Essex some important improvements in
the new vessels, which'will place them beyond
ell possibility Of similar disaster.
Now that the invulnerability Of iron clad
hulls Is established, the attention of Congress
should be ct once directed to the defence of
our ports and harbors by floating batteries
similarly constructed. Although the Stevens
battery has not turned out what was expected,
there are several features connected with It
that might be proitably improved upon. The
subject is one Of pressing importance, and
we are glad to see that the House yesterday
appropriated sl6,oOO,Ooo additional for more
gunboats. II is not when a foreign war
thr atens us that we should begin to think Of
the means Of defence.
The New York herald., 1862-02-15

BRILLIANT OPERATIONS OF Our NAvY.-The
operations of our navy have been attended
with brilliant success in almost every engage
ment since the beginning of the war. Hatteras,
Port Royal, Roanoke and Fort Henry have
fallen before the irresistible fire of our gun
boats The most complete victory Of all is that
at Roanoke Island, where the whole force of the
enemy were killed or captured. But the most
valuable in its consequences is that in which
the main body escaped and only few artille-
rsts were taken. We allude to the capture Of
view, is Of the highest importance, opening up
not only Tennessee, but Alabama and the whole
South to our arms. The rebels have, hitherto,
vaunted of the superiority of their generals;
but they have been outgeneralled as well as
whipped by our navy at Hatteras, at Fort
Henry and at Roanoke. Bowling Green is rem
dered untenable by the victory at Fort Henry,
and must be abandoned, if it has not been al
ready evacuated Columbus must soon share
the same fate. Good generalship would have
retreated in time from Roanoke Island with so
small a force, or it would have reinforced the
island with an army sufficient to hold it. Fort
Henry was of more importance to the rebels
than Bowling Green, and good generalship
would have suggested that both it and Fort
Donelson, on the Cumberland, should have
been made impregnable and manned with
powerful force. We expect every hour to hear
of the capture of Donelson by our gunboats
1t is evident the rebels have no generals; our
navy is outmaneuvring them completely.
So much for the importance of that arm of the
service and the necessity of sustaining it in full
strength. The dispatches of the naval COM
manders are in keeping with the character of
the work they have performed. They are re-
markable alike for their brevity, dignity and
modesty-no rhodomontade about them. The
events of this war are demonstrating that the
quality of our navy has not deteriorated by
long interval Of peace, but that it deserves to
be the pride of the nation as much now as it
ever has been.

MUD THE GREAT ENEMY.-We have to call
the attention of the Coward to Richmond
shriekers, who have been impatiently urging the
advance of General Mcclellan to the condition
of the streets of the city of New York, and ask
them, when these are flooded with slush ankle
deep, and blocked up with all manner of icy,
snowy and other distractions, what must be
the state of the roads in Virginia If in the
very heart of our civilization-the commercial
metropolis Of the country-it is perilous un-
dertaking to cross Broadway, and difficult
thing for our ordinary wheeled traffic to circu-
late, in spite of an expensive street cleaning
contract, we can easily imagine how our heavy
artillery and ammunition wagons would get
through the deep mud Of the yielding Virginia
soil, and how proudly our infantry columns
would march when they had to contend against
the double enemy, mud and the rebels. Let the
agitators in question take sober view Of the
situation, and be satisfied to let well enough
alone.

The RECENT UNION VICroRTEs.-Within the
last few weeks three different branches of our
government have achieved great victories.
The army has gained the brilliant victory at
Somerset has cleared the rebels out of Mis-
souri, and has captured the rebel strongholds
upon Roanoke Island. The navy, besides
capturing several valuable prizes, has taken
Fort Henry, made q splendid excursion up the
Tennessee river, destroyed the rebel feet in
Pamlico Sound, assisted to reduce Roanoke Is
land and captured Elizabeth City and Edenton.
Meanwhile the administrative department of
our government has succeeded in passing the
Treasury Note bill through both houses Of Con
gress; and this bill, which makes the govern.
ment money legal tender, necessitates the
payment of the interest on government bonds
in specie, and provides for a sinking fund, is as
great victory, in q financial point Of view, as
those gained by the army and navy.
But the victories to come promise to rival
any here recorded. We shall soon hear more
good news of Buell., at Bowling Green
from Thomas, at Knoxville; from Halleck, al
Fort Donelson; from Sherman, at Savannah,
and from Burnside, in North Carolina. Oul
navy will shortly report more prizes, and is de-
signed to aid our land forces in the operations in
prospect, and to accomplish valuable service In
the Gulf Of Mexico. In Congress we anticipate
the passage of the taxation, the banking and
the bankruptcy bills. The prospect Is bright
now for the Union cause, and rebellion can find
M co,nfort either in tho mast present or future
