The Building News, London, has long
article on Hydraulic Lifts" from which
VIC rl0r--.-s S>lIA1in0 description Of
the application Of the principle to some
hotel elevators:
Messrs. Esston and Amos are at present
employed in constructing, for the Brighton
Hotel q series Of hydraulic lifts, which
have been lately described by Mr.. Which
cord. the architect Of that edifce. a square
shaft or tower, about eight feet across in
ternally, is built up the centre hight Of the
hotel, with sppertures for communicating
with each story. Within this shaft the as
cending room is suspended by 3 chain
passing over a wheel at the top and loaded
to the proper degree with balance weights.
The room is fitted up in the manner Of a
railway carriage, with centre lamp, and
the gearing being carefully made and sd-
justed, it is expected that the motion will
bs nearly or entirely impercepible. The
earliest instance of this sort Of "upstair

operation; but at the GrosYenor, the West
minister, and other large modern hotels,
examples Of the kind now under consid-
Grafton will be found. The motion ia &C.
complisbed by the following means:
The basement foer may be considered as
the mid-level of the apparatus, and q well
must be sunk IS much below the level as
the car is 10 be raised above it. In this
we'll (which may be Of small dismeter) is
sunk the cylinder or barrel pipe, and with
in this, fitting loosely, is the lifting ram
or plunger, consisting Of another pipe the
whole length Of the barrel and working

at the top. It has some resemblance to the
pole.pIunger Of spuub; butinstesd Of be-
ing solid, it is hollow, and instead Of draw
ing water, it is forced by it.
AT the Brighton Hotel, motive power
win be derived from a cistern at an eleva-
ton Of more than hundred and twenty
feet. There are five lifts, viz: one for pas
sengers from the ground to the fifth, or
any intermediate floor, hight Of ffty-six
feet. It will be capable Of raising half
tun, that is, the weight Of eight average
persons Of ten stone each, the whole dis
tsnce in one minute, and is estimated to
cost, exclusive Of cistern, e600 to e640.-
The second rises from the basement to the
fifth floor, height Of seventy-seven feet,
and is constructed on different principle
to the foregoing. A horizontal cylinder
and piston give motion to rack an 1 inion
gearing, which, acting on a revolving
drum, hoists the load. Its power is equal
to q weight of sixteen pounds, and the
cost is calculated at e400 to e450. The
third lift, for raising wine from the cellar
to the bar, or hight OF sixteen feet, and
one of the same range for taking dinners
from the basement to the large coffee room
have respectfully power Of fifty pounds
and hundred pounds, and cost ELS and
2l15.

The National unInni.r.

This is the title of a new semi-weekly
paper to be published at Lexington, Ken
tucky. The salutstOry says:
We intend to publish a truly loyal
Union paper.
We believe it to be the duty of all good
and law abiding citizens to {" be subject to
the powers that be, IS they "are ordained
Of God"
All our efforts shall be for the suppress
sion Of the csuseless and wicked rebellion
against the Government and all the influ-
enee We can command, shall be used to
give the government all the aid in men
and money that may be needed for the
overthrow Of those who are seeking the
destruction Of the best and freest govern
ment the world has ever known.

The Red Rivsr ExpedItlon.

The reports from the Red River expedi
tioa are somewhat conflicting. General
Steele on the third Of this month had
reached Arksdelphis, southwest Of Little
Rock, on the Washita River and was max
ing good progress towards Shreveport.
New Orleans advices, up to April ID, repre-
sent that a great battle had been fought
on Cane River, some 35 miles above Alex
Andria. It was represented by passengers
from Alexandria that a battle had been
fought with great slaughter on both sides
and that our forces had been compelled to
fall back to Alexandria.
The story Of great battle was publish
cd in the Era and True Delta on April Isl,
and as there was no official news at Head
quarters in New Orleans, the story was
generally regarded as g hoax. It is prob
able, however, that collision will soon
take place if one has not already occurred.
Our army is in splendid spirits, moving
forward by different routes and determined
on clearing the country north Of the Red
River Of all armed rebels. AS yet General
Price is between Arkadelphia and Shreves-
port, opposing the progress Of General
Steele. We shall look with interest for
still further news from this great expedi-
ton.

The assessed valuation Of the real and
personal property in the State Of New
York is officially stated at 81, ,454, ,454, 81
Of this amount New York city has more
than One-third or S574,4l6,OSO. Kings
county, in which is included the city Of
Brooklyn, ranks next in wealth, being
valued at S9S,147604 The lowest esti-
mate is for Hamilton county, which stands
at $605, 900. The assessed value is of
course much below the real money vslne.
If the war continues through this year on

TIE PInIndsaIsr on Lonr.

The Plain Dealer, SO recently converted
to War Democracy, is very much ashamed
Of Mr.. Long. After long effort to vim
dicste the Union character Of the Democ-
raey, it says:
The Democracy is pledged to the main
tensnce Of the right kind Of war, war
wsged not for subjugstion or conquest, nor
for the propagation OF partisan dOgmss
but for the restoration Of Union and the
maintenance Of the constitution. No local
politicians can drive the party from this
stand. What Abolition persecution and eal-
u1sRy has failed TO do, can't De achieved By
bOisteroaY Ta0ings of a fen turbulent and
Rsis9trded, OF dosOHriga traitoTous men, 5tyl-
ing thsmseIVes Democrats.
We wonder what tune the Plain Dealer
viii play in July. Our brethren Of the
Herald predict that the Plain Dealer will
60 the way Of all the Democracy. We
shall see. But in the meantime we exhoTt
cur neighbOrs Of the Plain Dealer to
"wstch and pray lest they enter into
temptation

The Natural Increase Of Combatants.

The Natural Increase Of Combatants'
In the United States, North and South,
during the year 1851, (sccording to the
computations Of the Census Superintend-
ent) about 277, 500 male whites reached
and passed the age Of eighteen, and 12S,-
GOO arrived at and passed the age Of forty
fve-lesving difference Of 168, 900 enter
ing upon the military age. The latter
number, when diminished by natural
deaths (sbout one per cent of the whole
military class, and increased by the soces-
sions from immigration, would express
the annual increase of the military popu-
Iation in 8 time Of peace; but during
year Of war, the further losses by war
should be deducted. In accordance with
this statement the following approximation
is presented for the increase during 1861 /;
and the same principles will evidently sp-
ply for subsequent years:
Entering on Is years of age.. 277 800
Passing over IS years Of age ...-......,.- l2s6eO
Difference .................. las, 600
/ Deduct natural deaths Of the military
class. of'OOV
Annual home increase.................... 81 900
Add for immigration in ls6l...............- Sl6OO
Total military increase in lSGl......... 123 400
From this last number, the losses by war
in 1861, beyond the usual number in peace
times, should be deducted TO complete the
estimate for that year. But the immigrs-
ton from foreign countries in 1861 was
less than one-hslf Of what it reached in
1868, and it will probably reach q still
greater volume this yesr-s large proper
ton Of it being of the militsry age.
Ofthe actual annual increase through
out the whole country, Of males entering
upon the military age, from the home ele.
ment (ssy an increase Of 100000 it if
d ficult to make an apportionment be.
tween the States under Rebel control sno
those within the Union lines. But il
would certainly be unsafe to give the reb
ell States, as they now stand, more thar
25,OOO as their armed increase Of males o.
the military age. This entirely ignores
the foreign immigrant element which hal
not latterly entered the South. The snnu
al increase in the North Of males Of thu
military ages, from home and foreig'
suroes, may thus be computed at sbou
100, ,000-making from THO number eertail
