ING amusing occurrence ...g 5. .I ...- ...:.
e. One Of the depositors in the late First Ma
t;;onal Bank of New Orleans was Mr.. r. Bau
s, !, dealer in trunks, musical instruments, etc.
No 3S Camp street. 1t is stated the amount
ofhis deposit was about $4,000, and that it,
was made about twenty four hours before the
hank failed. Yesterday, at about twelve
nc|ock, MIR. Bauer, while walking along Car
n,delet street, with brush and pot of mark
ing ink in his hand, met Mr.. ID. B. Forbes,
the late President of the First National Bank,
and Immediately saluted him thus: ! ou ras-
cal YOU have ruined me. and my daughter -
Bauer Immediately grasped Forbes, the mark
ing ink flew over his face and clothing, and the
sidewalk was bespattered with it. 81 The spec
tators who heard the exclamation opened the
way for Bauer to punish Forbes, presuming
that it was an affair of criminal intrigue.
Bauer fer while had his own way, with one
hand twisting the fnanciers neck tie, and chok-
irg him so that his tongue prOtrued, and with
the other laying the cowhide over his head and
shoulders in no gentle blows. Forbes atlength
broke his cane over Bauer's shoulders but was
still wiinciDg under the terrible strokes of the
hide and the disgrace of the punishment in
Aictcd on him, when Bauer, having satisfied
his anger, released the inapcier from the un-
pleasant position which he was forced into.
By this time several hundred people were col
lected around the antagonists, and the expires
ident of the bank, whose complexion could not
be distinguished in consequence OF the protu-
sion ofmarking ink upon his person, rushed
into cab, and went up Carondeet street..
{ Bauer, who remained master OF the field, de.
iberately walked along Carondelet street amid
the congratulations ol those who witnessed his
punishment of the party who controlled his de-
posits, many still being under the impression
that another wrong had been added to the loss
of deposits by dlsgracetul criminal intrigue,
resulting in the degradation end ruin OF the

SToNEWALL JACKSON. In the Religious
Herald for this week we find the following in-
tercsting. Incident in the life Of Jackson, which
gives us an insight into some Of tho thoughts
that occupied his mind the day after the great
battle in which he won his immortal sobriquet
cf "Stonewall !" '.. ae s
A few days after the first battle Of Manassas
an eager, anxious crowd was assembled at the
postofice in Lexington, Va, on the arrival OF.
the mail. The greatest excitement prevailed,
and tidings from the front were eagerly
sought after. The venerable DR.. w White (pas.
tor Of the Presbyterian Church) took a letter
from the postoAice, and, recognizing it as in
the handwriting OF Brigadier General latter
wards "SlonewalF Jackson, he said to the
crowd, "Here is letter from General jackson
nov we will have full aud authentic partlcu--
lars of the battle The crowd eagerly asked
him to read aloud, and pressed round to hear
the expected stirring news from the field OF
conflict. He broke the seal and, to the great
disappointment of all, found only these few
lines:

. AN IMPROVED HYDRAULIC En- GINE.--We
have been much interested in a new machine
tor the application of water power, the inven!!
ton Of Major Luther M. Sabin, of ST Louis
BY this c3nrlvance the pressure OF column ollll OF
wateris used somewhat as the expansive pres
sure Of steam is used to produce pisto9ln1; and
Shaft motion. From a vat OF strong square
box tube rises to the height OF forty OF nifty
leet, according to- the power required, and at
the,top of the tube is a small vat, sufficient to
receive the water supply and transmit. 1t TO the
tube and vat below. Entering the latter at the
SIDE sete and near the bottom are two cylinders
With pistons; and valves. The water pressure
drives drives each piston alternately, with slight ex-
haustoa ofwater, and with a force proportion
cd to the height of the tube. Machinery . may ay
oe spplled to a lever attached to the plstons,
or directly to the pistons. The water can be
raised by the hydraulic; ram OF supplied from a
reservoir when convenient .a.i g g

Invention of astonishing simplicity and great
value The original cost, complexity, expense se
Of working, and danger Of steam engine, can can
by this plan be dispensed with in multitudes OF
cases. The matter is eminently worthy the at
