THIN SKINNED. The copperhead admi-
rers of Andy johnson made great parade
of his alIusion in Presidential slang TO Col.
Forney as a dead duck esteeming il a
brilliant wittieism. Bat they are terribly
exercised at Gov. Browplow's compliments
to the dead dog Of the White House.
Brownlows compliments are sometimes a
little vulgar, though we had scarcely expec-
ted him to lower himself to the level Of the
Presidents slang. Intdoing so he has Ger
tainly stopped to conquer. The President
is beaten ct his own game. The dead dog

AT THEIE OLD TRICKS.

The rebels encouraged by Presidential
reachery cannot even siIaulate loyalty long
enough to gain admission for their represen-
tatives into Congress but are returning
already to their OLD tricks. Not the least
mischieYous among these is that of tamper
ing with the mails. Andy Johnson's post
masters, deliberately appointed with the
knowledge that they could not take the oath
Of Office, feeling safe under his protection, are
already praetieing the old trick of refusing
to deliver such papers as don't happen to
suit their own peculiar notions as to what
is proper reading for Southern people.
Most prominent among the papers thus
prescribed By Southern Postmasters are the
Riqhs Ray, Ha1pers' Weelly, The New

A DESERTED CTY.-A correspondent Of
the Boston Trdreyer writing from Germany
thus speaks Of Antwerp:
1t is melancholy to see a city, once so
wealthy and powerful as Antwerp, now so
decayed and deserted. Miles of streets are
empty and silent as the campagna; the
churches have half dozen worshippers;
shopkeepers all wear depressed and hun
cry look, as if customers were rare articles.
and / certainly believe there were more
streets than horses. I dressed myself for
the table d hote dinner at the hotel, expec-
ting to meet large company, but to my
astonishment / saw only forlorn and
solitary Englisiman eating his soup. He
told me that for two days he had had the
table d hote all to bimself, and was rejoiced
to have some one to talk to besides the wal
ter.

A correspondent of the New York Her

The French continue very bitterin their

their expressions of what is the design of
Napoleon towards the United States. A
prominent officer, few days since, decia-
red in very offensive terms the French
hatred of American progression, and decla4
red ii to be the settled policy OF both Eng
land and France to prevent the United
States from obtaining foothold under any
pretenee, upon Mexico His argument was
that if the Federal Government should ever
do so il would control the commerce of the
world. dictate terms to France and Eng.

danger the peace Of Europe the states
would soon dispossess Spain Of Cuba. thus

gar, and coffee trade-the prime necessities

nations mere tributariesto to them He also
observed that so well was this understood by
the two nations most interested in prevent-

already agreed upon, and the peace of Eu-

THE WHITE MANS GovERNMENr

In three Districts of South Carolina the
number of white people, by the census Of
1860, was 10000, and that Of the blacks
225,0 ,000 The number of voters, all white,
was 10, 400 These Dist~iets had three
members of Congress and three Presidential
Electors That would be their number If it
was strictly a white mans Government.
But as the South depended for its political
status on the darkies, it must have a

Presidential elections. One of tie three in
the above Districts represented tie white

These figures tell their own story. With one
fourteenth part of the fire surface, thirty-three
per cent. more labor was done by Danford's little
generator than was accomplished by a fifteen
horse locomotive boiler, and that, too, with one
half the consumption Of fuel. Danford'S genera
tor actually got twenty-horse power work out Of
an engine built for a five or six-horsc power boiler.
Twenty-Five gallons of water in the form Of super
heated steam proved to be thirty-three per cent.
more powerful than eighty gallons of water in
the shape of saturated steam. In other words,
one gallon of water in the condition Of - dry
steam " is equal in efficient power to nearly five
gallons in the condition of - wet steam" Con-
slider the tremendous power super-heated steam
would give to ii river or ocean steamer. \ five
hundred horse power engine as now rated could
be made to exert two thousand horse power of
force against the waves. winds or currents. Nav
not the Atlantic vet be crossed from New York
to Liverpool within 4 week by vessels propelled
by super-heated steam? We look for such a re-
suit when the new principle Of generating steam
shall be applied to ocean navigation.
When 2l2 degrees Of heat are applied to water
it boils, and is converted into steam. Steam at
