Condensed History of Steam.

About go years B. c., Hero, of Alex
andria, formed a toy which exhibited
some of the powers Of steam, and was
moved by its power.
A. D. $40, Antheminus, an architect,
arranged several csldrons of water,
each covered with the wide bottom of
a leathern tube which rose to q narrow
top with pipes extending to the rafters
of the adjoining builing A fire was
kindled beneath the caldrons, and the
house was shaken by the efforts of the
steam ascending the tubes. This is the
hrst notice OF the power of steam re-
corded.
In 1913, June II, Blasco de Goary
tried a steamboat of 209 tons, with
tolerable success at Barcelona, Spain. 1t
consisted of a caldron of boiling water
and a movable wheele on each side of
the ship. 1t was laid aside as imprac.
ticable. A present, however, was made
to Goary.
In 1850, the first railroad was con,
structed at Newcastle-on-Tyne
The first idea of q steam-engine in
England was in the MARQUIS Of Wor-
o%ester's History of Invention" A. D.
1868.
In l70l, Newcomer made the first
steam-eagine in England.
In III8, patents were granted to Sa-
vary for the first application of the
steam-engine.
In 1904, James Watt made the first
perfect steam-engine in England.
In 1876, Jonathan Hulls first set forth
the idea OF steam navigation.
In Iil8, Thomas Pins first proposed
the application in America.
In 1881, Marquis Jouffrey constructed
a steamboat on the Saone.
In 1888, two Americans published a
work on it.
In 1883, William Symington made a
voyage in one on tho Forth and Clyde
canal
In 1902, this experiment was re-
In 1882, Ramsay propelled a boat by
steam at New York.
in l7o9, John Fitch, of Connecticut,
.naVlgated a boat by steam-eugine on
the Delaware.
Ia 1898, Robert Fulton first began to
apply his attention to steam.
In 1888, Oliver Evans, a native of
Philadelphia, constructed q locomotive
steam-engine to travel on 8 turnpike
road.
The first steam vessel that ever
crossed the Atlantic was the Savannah,
in the month of June, 1919, from
Charleston to Liverpool-Homts Mcr-

A d~eplOrable affair occurred in Ma
/ con on Monday last. We extract the
following from the Telegraph in regard
to il:
The first difficulty took place in
Vineville, between young Robert Bass,
son Of Col n. Bass, and a couple Of the
cOlored soldiers, who soon returned
with some guards to arrest Bass. One
of our InfoTmants states positively that
he, Bass, was first struck in the head
with a brickbat bayonetted and then
captured while another says he WAS
taken prisoner, and while on the way
10 town struck and bayonetted. Suffice
it to sGy, however, that the young man
was cruelty ~illtreated and wounded
through the ignorance and brutality Of
the guard, and was about being con-
veyed through town TO headquarters
when they were stopped by a Federal
officer, who Immediately ordered the
release of young Bass, and he was con-
viewed TO his fathers residence. His
wounds are not necessarily fatal, as it
is thought by the attending physician
that none of the intestines were cut.

cited young men collected about the
corners of Mulberry and Second streets,
and in the neighbood of headquarters,
and it soon became evident that
Trouble was brewing When a crowd is
inhamed, il takes but little to create a
riot We cannot aver wheter the first
shot wcs fired from the whites or ne
groes, bat soon a perfect fusilade took
place on Mulberry street, and followed
by a precipitate stampede Of the col
ored population, civilians as well as
soldiers, seeking shelter from the vol
lies of bullets that were sent hurting
after them. To the excitement of the
young men alone is due the fact that
so little damage was done. No one was
killed that we could hear Of and only
some three or four Wounded-none, we
hear, MORALLY.

The Senate Of the United States
which ought TO be q body distinguished
for its dignity and high sense of pro-
priety, has for Secretary a political DEM
agogue who daily abuses the President
OF the United States in the coarsest
language. The man, it is well known.
Is the editor OF, or controls two news
papers-one Ia Washington and one in
Philadelphia He makes these the
channels through which he vents his
spleen upon the chief Of the nation

tionary spirit that is abroad, and that

blan convention Of France. The ap-
polntment Of this man TO the position
Of Secretary Of the Senate, looking al
his history, was remarkable, and show
ed how low that great body had fallen
from its former high character.
BUTT is positively disgraceful for the
Senate to retain him, now that be is
daily pouring out fresh abuse upon the
President. A decent respect from enc
coordinate branch of the government
IS due TO another. That is the way to
make government respectable in the
eyes Of the people. But for the Senate
that digniied body Of the nation,
which ia a part Of the executive. and
holds a particular relation 10 the Presi-
dent-to tolerate such conduct is in
excusable. The Senate, out of respect
to itself, as well as to the President,
ought to dismiss him at once. Nursed
into partial existence by that weak
and scheming old copperhead politi-
clan, Buchanan. whom he betrayed, he
has belonged to all parties, and is ready
to belong 70 any party 10 serve his ends.
II is high time such Northern dema-
gogues were squelched, as the Southern
ones have been. Let these Northern
MaTplot politicians be put down, as
their old, mischievous companions of
the South have been. At least, let not
the Senate Of the United States keep
this one, the worst of all, in the high
