NEW YORK, Sept. ID, 1860.
+. S. FORBEs, Esq-Dedr Sir: Your letter Of
the 10th lust. Is received. The weight of coal
recommended to be consumed per hour on board
the WinOoski, namely 800 pounds, during the
competitive trial for economy Of fuel at the dock
between the machinery Of that vessel and the Al :
gOnquin, was selected because with that weight
there will be developed by the WinoGsk's ma e
chinery the fair average power practically useful
with vessels Of her class.
No weight of coal was recommended for the
Algonquin. She was only required to develop
the same power with the WinoOski, burning
what coal would produce 1t under any circum-
stances as the CRATE surface OF the Algonquin is
one hundred and forty two square feet, the con-
sumption Of sixteen hundred pounds Of coal per
hour, would be only at the rate of about eleven
and half pounds per square foot OF CRATE per
hour; rate that should be easily attainable by
tho natural draught Of any properly propor-
TONED boiler.
On examination Of the contract and specirca-
tons which have been furnished the Board by
the Navy Department, It does not specify any par
tcular point Of cut o, is any inferrabe Of the
WinoOski class.
The contract also reads that the Algonquin s
machinery was constructed to equal In maximum
power and In economy Of fuel that of the Win
OOski class the latter, Of course, being operated
to the best advantage It will permit.
We see no reason to modify the recommenda-
tons we have already made to the Navy Depart
ment In the matter, as regards instruments as
each designer has entire charge Of the mode Of
operating their machinery, as per instructions by
the Navy Department.
As regards the dip Of wheel, the floats have
been reduced In width to degree that In our
Judgment, will give a resistance not to exceed
that proper to propel the vessel when at sea, and
we believe not greater than that referred to in
your letter.
We are, very respectfully, yours,

OBEIsANCE TO THE PUBLIC.
TRI- WEEKLY GAZETTE AND COMET.

Time vas when this old and well-known
journal catered daily for the edification
and entertainment Of its hosts Of readers
and patrons. But, times change and
things change with them. The advent of
War, followed, alas by so many sad and
startling changes in the condition and
pursuits Of the Southern people, rendered
1t necessary to drop the daily publication
and assume instead simple weekly issue.
The War terminating, and the dawn of a
more quiet and prosperous future appear
ing, afford now encouraging earnest Of %
gradual though sure return to the arts and
pursuits OF peace, on the part of our people.
Embracing the occasion, therefore, to
fall in and keep pace with the steady pro
gress towards brighter condition in the
affairs of our common country, the under
signed have formed mutual association
for the purpose of carrying on the news
paper, job printing and bindery business
of the Gazette and Comet QDFcc. .s.
Dating from to-day, the Gazette and
Conset emerges from a weekly to tri-
weekly journal. To meet the enlarged
expenses consequent upon this alteration,
we confidently rely upon generous in
crease of patronage. This we shall strive
to merit by the labor and attention which
we intend devoting to the several depart
ments of business we have undertaken
mutually to conduct, comprising as above
stated, the newspaper and job offices and
bindery. -,
AS soon as practicable, the Gazette ead
Comet will be issued daily.

The FRENCH ARMY IN THE CRrMEAN
WAR.-A letter dated Paris, Aapril
goth, says
''The French have not yet had
true history Of the Crimean war,
and the books Of Kinglake and Tod
tleben, and others about it, have
been vigorously excluded from the
country. The consequence is, that
they are firmly convinced that our
Government tod them at the time,
their troops not only covered them
selves with glory immortal, which
they undoubtedly did, bat escaped
all the sufferings and privations and
misery which had befallen the En-
glish army. An army doctor has,
however, just made an avowal
which will startle them not a little,
and which will. perhaps, make them
desirous of more facts and figures.
The avowal is that in the said war
not fewer than 95,65l French sol
diers perished, the greater part Of
sickness orof fatigue and privation.
As only 309,263 were sent into the
Crimea. from the commencement to
the end of the war, the proportion
of deatha was nearly q third" ~

toned in letter which has been re-
ceived in Manchester. A gentleman
was informed, a few days ago by his
groom, that favorite horse hung his
head and refused it's food. Some
drops of blood were found in the

animal out for quiet exercise, and
on its return to the stable a live mouse
came out of its nostrils.

SOUTHERN MERCHANTS PAYING
ANTE WAR DEBTS. The Boston

searching for their creditors. One
of these, who was indebted to
merchant $1,000, paid the am
ount in gold with interest. Anoth-
er paid $4,000, and others, sums Of
greater amounts, all in gold. In
every case, the dealers contend that
the debts were contracted upon a
specie basis, and should be settled
upon the same. New business re-
lations with the South are becoming
quite common among our traders,
and many old associations are be.
ing renewed from day to day.
There is quite a brisk demand for
clothing, household furniture, and
agricultural implements from Vir-
ginia and North Carolina. gaa +
Southern business men say that
there are many millions of gold

which, vixen order is established,

At present there are so many law
less men at large, that the holders
Of cotton and other valuable arti'
cles, keep them concealed, fearful
of being robbed if they bring the m

able, is more sensitive, and will
therefore be longer in finding its

Our underwriters, who had poll

which were captured and bonded
by the Confederate cruisers, not
knowing how the war might termin'

should they ever be presented. AS
the Confederacy has collapsed, sc
have the bonds, while the underwri
ters have their funds all safe, which
are now regarded as so much mel
gain. We understand that party

phatically that he would not sol

Il Tumble in Prices.

There has been considerable fall in the
prices of many commodities, as well as in
gold, for week or two past. Gold has
been down to l77t the present week; butter
in Boston from % to 30 cents. one-half what
it has sold for the present winter; good hay
is now bought in this county for $40 or Sl2
ton at the barn. within four miles of the
railroad station. Most produce and provi-
sions have fallen more or less, though moth
ing quite so much as butter and hay, that
we are aware of. Spectators have been
badly bitten, and the verdict of the people
is, served them right.

Please Remember.

We cannot change the address of subscri-
bers unless they give us their former, as well
as present address, both in town and state.
We are frequently in receipt of letters OF
which the following are fair samples:
"SPARLAND. ILL. March l. IS.

Sparland, Illinois. PETER SHEARER."
Now we know Mr.. Shearer; he once liv-
ed in Barnet. But after looking through our
Barnet. Peacham and st. JOhnsbury pack
ages for his name in vain, we have con-
Guided to wait until we hear from him
again, hoping he may next time give us the
present address Of his paper.
There is another cause of many errors.
which is well illustrated in the following
letter:
CONCORD. March Z.
MR.. STONE Enclosed please find 81 for
THE CALIFORNIAN another year.

From the reading of this letter we sup
posed it was to renew present subscrip-
ton; but after looking through the bundles
that are directedt to Concord. West Concord,
Victory and East st. JOhnsbury, without
finding the name, we concluded the paper
must have been discontinued Before re-
entering the name in the Concord bundle,
however. we happened to run across it in
The Waterford list. Had we not thus acct
dentally discovered it we should have sent
two papers and received pay for only one.
II would obviate errors and annoyance if
persons sending subscriptions for The CAL
EDoNIAN would state plainly: Cd Whether
it is for new or old subscription. (2) If
for an old subscription give the post office
where the paperis now received; if for a
new subscriber, state that fact.

On the strength of Geographic des-
patch from ''Perley" to the Boston Journal,
we inserted last week an item stating that
Major E. d. RedingtOn, paymaster, had
been wounded by rebel shell while engage
cd in paying off troops in the army of the
Potomac. After some three hundred OF
our edition were printed, Mr.. RedingtOn
received despatch from his son stating
that he was well, and that there was no
foundation for such report. This was a
gratifying correction to his family and
many other friends in this place.
Capt. Pearl D. Blodgett. formerly of
this lace, now of the Veteran Reserve
Corps, is in command at St. Adams, w.,
Capt. NickersOn having been ordered to

From all the accounts we hear they
must have had quite an interesting March
meeting up at Danville-a little ahead of
ours, Notwithstanding the fight over the
iiremens poll tax made our meeting far
from being devoid of interest or excitement.
At Danvlle special committee, consisting
of Joseph c. Whitcher and Moses Stevens,
was appointed one year ago to investigate
the accounts Of the town treasurer. Andrew
Mcmillan, Esq, against whom MIR. Witch
er had made serious charges. This COM
mittee made their report, and it was appen-
ded to the printed report of the town Off
GERS this year. From this special report it
appears that the treasurer is defaulter. or
has made errors against the town in wrong
entries. endorsements, ETC., to the amount
OF over 81 800 within the past seven years.
We learn that Major N. P. Bowman.
paymaster, of Island Pond, stationed at
Newborn. N. c., has resigned on account of
i'll health.
1t is reported that Boston merchant.
formerly from this county, had 10000 lbs.
butter on hand when it suddenly dropped
some 30 cents. He probably teels some as
farmer near here does who refused 80
cents last fall, saying he was going to have

than when one is offered a fair price for it.
Among the members elected to the leg
isIature of New Hampshire on Tuesday, we
notice the name of James o. Adams, Esq,
of Manchester, formerly OF Lyndon, and
Harry Bingham, Esq, of Littleton. TO
those who know him it is needless to say
that Mr.. Adams is an lnyieldng Union adj
ministratiOn man, and it is Just as Supertlu
Gus to say that Mr.. Bingham is a notorious
copperhead.
