Justice" Now that the late Instruction
here was void Of all appearance Of JUS
tee. we have evidence which, whether
from the capacity or the competency Of
the witness, or the position which he held
in that Instruction, cannot be gainsaid.
Alexander Ii. Stephens, late Vice Presi-
dent of the so-ealled Confederate States,
speaking l.. the State Convention OF Ga,
Jan. IS, 1850, Of the proposed secession
and Instruction, said:
W hat reasons can you give to the
aations CT the earth to justify it? They
will lie the calm aud deliberate judges in
the case; and what cause or one overt
act can you name or poiut out on which
to rest the plea Of jus iiication? What
ri ght Las the North assailcd? What in
terest Of the South has been invaded p
What jas;ice has been denied ? aud VIVA;
claim founded in justice aud right has
been withheld ? Can either of you to-
day nape one Governmental act OF wrong
deliberately and purposely done by the
Government at Washington Of which tie
South has II right to complain? 1 chal-
lenge the answer. Now for you to at
tempt to overthrow such government rs
this, under which we have lyed for more
than three quarters OF a century, under
which we have gained our wealth, our
standing as a nation, our domestic safety,
while the elements of peril are around
US, with peace and tranquility, accom-
panied with unbounaed prosperity and
rights unassailed, is the height OF mad.
ness, folly aud wicsedness to Which can
neither lend my sanction n9r my vote.
No man replied to Mr.. Stephens then,
no man has slice replied to him. Eyea
he himself has never undertaken the task
of bringing forward facts or reasons OF
any Kind which would give that appear
ance Of justice which Nattel insists upon
as the condition Of Instruction which is
not rebellion.

How many will you have miss ?"

A curious calculation has been
made by sapan well known in Paris
by his peculiar antirathy to the fly. lie
collected three thousand flies in room
measuring two cubic metres; on the floor
he spread pounded loaf of sugar. At
the end of four days he went to investi-
gate the result of his experiment There
remained a tablespoonful Of sugar. This
statistician therefore calculates that, sug-
ar being at the rate of Is cents pound,
fly costs the country twenty cents from
its birth to its demise.

Tile Boston Joaraal states that
nearly all Of the ship yards in that city
are making arrangements 10 resume bust
ness-some of them after having lain
idle for two or three years. The great
reduction of our merchant feet by thc
sale of vessels to 90 under other flags, il
order to escape the depredaiions Of tht
confederate pirates, and by disaster al
sea, renders it apparent that as soon as
commerce reyiyes to any considerable De.
gree, there will be a great demand for

RATHER BAD MoRALs.-The business
men CT n. y, seem to have strange
code OF morals. A correspondent of the
Boston Adrettiser writes a few years
ago, Huntington was detected in forgeries
aud was sent to the State Prison II
appeared that business men took his pa-
per, suspecting it to be forged. 1t may
he that ketchum circulated some forae
paper where its true character was sus-
pected. Those shrewd men who take a
mans forged paper in preference to the
genuine do so because they deem it more
secure. A man will be very particular
to redeem such commodity who might
let genuine paper be protested. He would
hardly like to be in the clutches Of one
of these shrewd, bloodless individuals.

The Cigar Ship.

Mr., Winans is building, at London
ward, and will launch in few weeks, bis
celebrated Cigar Ship" The London
Times thus describes it:
z" Looking at her now, she appears to
be little more than gigantic iron main
ward for some vessel Of the Great Eastern
class; having a rather wide diameter In
the middle, and tapered to point almost
as fine as that of a needle. As regards
her external appearance, then, We need
only add that the rivets that tasten her
are countersunk, 50 that shs presents out
wardly perfectly smooth surface, while
the workmanship of her joints is SO per-
feet that even the touch fails to detect
the slightest irregularity in her evenness.
So far, then, her form, length, and small
midship section will have a great deal to
do with her speed, but when TO these fa-
vorable conditions is added the immense
power with which it is hoped she will be
driven. it is no wonder that high rate
of going is confidently talked Of by her
designers. Her engines are three cylin-
der, to be driven at high pressure turr-
ing one steel shaft tnaie by Mr.. kruPp)
which revolses through the whole length
of the vessel, projecting from the fac
points at each end, here it carries a
screw. These screws are to be four feet
greater in diameter than the greatest d.
amcter of the vessel-namely - feet
and each is to have eight blales, becau e
the two points being only, say. foot Or
SO below the water, four of the blades of
each screw will be out as it reyolyes.
while there will always be four Of these
immersed to do the work of propulsion.
Under each screw is rulder, and by
steering with both the vessel can be turn
ed as on pivot. As the extreme points
would be too fine to admit the passage Of
the screw abatt AMI its bearings al 50. this
difficulty is obvated by making abont Is
feet of caeh end reyolyc with the shaft,
and therefore form part of it, SO that
with the increased diameter 81, the point
at the end of the sixteen feet towards the
midships there is ample room gained for
both shafts and bearings. Her boilers,
like all the other parts Of the vessel. are
on the locomotive principle, with vertical
tubes. \ blast fan is to give them
draught, aud they are at work at 150
pounds pressure. This is a great power,
but as the boilers are built far stronger
than even locomotive boilers, it is asserted
that they could be worked up to even
1000 lbs. per square inch with SAFETY
There are one hundred ara tiiirty-six feet
Of fire-bar surfaee, and it is expected
that, with the aid Of the b.a>t fan, each
Of these one hundred aud thirty-six feet
can be made to barn :iItj lbs. o. ceai per
hoar. Ii the furnaces can accomplish
this, then, according to the rule which
gives one nominal nurse power for every
two and half pounds of coal consumcc
per hour, Mr. Winan's yacht will b,
