Improvement on Steam Boilers

(Dmaking loss OF 1-3 the fuel. The question Is
often asked how can this besaved. Mr. Blanchard
has invented boiler that takes perfect control OF all
very simple in its construction; after the engine is in
motion the smoke pipe is closed tight and the waste
heat carried through heaters, heating the steam to
any temperature desired; the remainder carried
through the water heater, using up all the waste
heat but 200 degs.; the heat being reduced so low
there can be no danger of setting fires by sparks
thrown from engines, which will add much value to
this invention, besides the saving 1-3 the fuel.

Notwithstanding the advance on all cotton fab

pearanee. Last month much heavier trade wa!
done than in the months of March and April. Oul
jobbers are much encouraged from last month;
transactions that they are determined to keep M
a large and well selected stock for the month o.
June. The retailers may depend on finding every
line of goods that can be had in the Eastern cities
and at prices that will justify them in stopping
here. They will discover that cotton goods have
slightly advanced since our last quotations. L
the retailers think that the quotations below are
high, let them notice the latest New York quota

jobbers are asking and that to-day they are sell

IMPORTANT CHANcERY SUIr.-A very interest
ing and important case has been upon argument
for several days before Judge Campbell of the
Chancery Court. A bill was Fled some months
since by the Nashville 4 Chattanooga Railroad
Company against its former officers, V. X. Steven
son. L. W Cole, &c, for an account Of profits and
earnings derived by them from the use of the
rolling stock Of the railroad which was run of and
used in Georgia and elsewhere during the war, and
also for certain cotton carried TO Wilmington and
shipped abroad. The defendants demurrcd to the
bill upon the ground that all Of the transactions
inquired into were illegal and in violation Of the
laws Of war. and of the United States. The argu-
ment was upon this demurrer. and from the
amount at issue in the controversy and the mum
Der and distinction Of the counsel engaged has
attracted great deal of attention. The argu-
ment for sustaining the demurrer was made up by
Messrs. East, Spurlock, Trimble, and Houston.
and for the Railroad Company, by Messrs. Colyar.
Ewing. and Cooper If the demurrer is sustained
the suit viii be dismissed. and if overruled the
defendants %vill be required to answer and defend
the case. The amount claimed by the complain
ants is onsInillion Of dollars.
