A NEW MOTIVE POWER.
SWEDEN.

The Stockholm Afonbudet gives pub
LEGATION to q letter from Mr.. Ericsson,
the well known inventor of the caloric
machine, and, if | am not mistaken, ORR
glnator of t he Monitor species Of cuiras-
sed ship, in which a novel apparatus for
the condensation Of the suns rays is re-
ferred to. 1t it fulfils what Mr.. Ericsson
promises it shall, the apparatus, by sup
plying a new force infinitely greater and
cheaper than can be obtained by steam,
will rank among the most remarkable in
v%entions ever made. Mr.. Ericsson's let
ter, which reads like a fairy tale, is as
follows =
"During the last few years [ have
spent a good deal of time in experiments
calculated to ascertain whether the suns
rays can be so condensed as 10 become
a practical means of producing II motive
power. Sir John HerSchel's and NJ.

Besides The project is about TO be con-
siderabIy modified.
There was a proposal, you will remem-
extreme point of Florida to Havana, and
' from there by different branches through
all the great and small Antilles. The
Company have recOnsldered this part of
the scheme. 1t has appeared to them too
much for two cables to run from The
. same point, and that in case of a conflict
with the Cuban authorities, the whole
machinery would for the time be para
USED. Not TO expose the interests con-
hded to them to such a contingency, the
Company have changed the route, and
the submarine telegraph will follow quite
another course.
According to the new scheme, Key
West in Florida, remains the principal
Station,--the head quarters where the
lines from the Antilles will meet those
from New York and Ireland. But from
Florida the cable will 90 direct to Nassau,
one Of the Bahamas, and from Nassau
direct to st. Thomas, thence to Guade-
loupe, Martinique, Barbados, &c. You
see then, dear Sir, Martinique gains much
by the adoption of the new plan it is
but the third station in the order of the
transmission of the kilograms, instead of
beng the seventh or eighth in the aban-
doned scheme. | venture then to hope
our new line will obtain The approval of
the Colony.
My return to New York will he via
Nassau, to place me in communication
with the proper authorities of that island,
and to receive from them their sanction
to make it the first station Of the inter
colonial cable. The ground is prepared
for me, and | shall not probably have to
remain there any long time. According
10 every probability [ shall soon return
to the West Indies, and [ am happy to
say 10 you at once, that | cherish the
hope Of visiting again your beautiful Mar
Unique, where | was so courteously re-
ceived, and of which | retain so pleasant

CAPTAIN MONCRIEFF'S IMPOR-
TANT ARTILLERY INVENTION.
Times, Oct. 49,

We published yesterday the account Of
a second series of experiments on what,
to all appearance, is the most important
artillery invention of modern times. 1t
may be briefly described as a device for
rendering the heaviest guns absolutely
invisible and unapproachabIe, except at
the actual instant Of firing; and ever then
nothing is 10 be seen but The gun itself,
the men who work it and the whole ma
chinery remaining completely protected.
Like all great inventions, it is supremacy
simple in principle, though the highest

effect. What must be the SUMS fuel.
when such an enormous heat is being per-
p~etually maintained on the entire surface
of a globe the diameter of which is about
a hundred times larger than the ear,h's.
What has been SAID will prove that,
without any very extensive application
OF the condenSlng apparatus a force sufi-
Gent Tor practical purpose can be obtain
ed. Calculations which | have Just COM
pIeted have satisfied me that if The SUMS
rays now wasting their strength on the
house roofs of Philadelphia, were con-
densed they might he used to set 5000
steam engines Of 2O-hor>e power each in
motion. That the new force can be OBJ
tanned without occupying ground pat to
other useful purposes is one of lis re-
markable pecuIiafities. To give an in
stance, let US suppose a Swedish square
mile (eqnal to 40 Enelish) covered with
condenSlng apparatus and sun machines.
Let one half the surface he occupied by
buildings, roads, &c, and we have still
GAS, 600, 900 square feet free for our pur
pose Qwo feet Swedish equal to O593
metre). Now, as my conden>ing appara-
tuS has demonstrated 100 square feet to
he amply sufficient for the production of
l horse power, it follows that $4,000
steam-engines of lOO-horse power each
can be worked with the rays thrown on ii
Swedish square mile. Archimedes hav-
ing calculated the force Of the lever, ex-
planned that he could move the earth
from its position. | assert that by con-
dcnSing the rays of the sun a force could
could be created that might arrest the
earth in It's course. We have scarcely
begun to work the coaI-felds of Europe,
and already computations are being made
in England when they will be exhausted.
In IA thousand years or so-a drop in the
ocean Of time-there will be no coal left
in Europe unless the sun be put in requi-
Sltion. True, the rays of the sun are
often prevented from reaching us, but,
with such a large magazine whence fuel
may be obtained without labour or trans
port TO draw upon, experienced engineers
will have no difficulty in laying up a store
against the rainy day. A large portion
of the earth's surface is, moreover, iIIu-
minated by an ever-uncIouded sun. The
area over which the sun machine can
work may, therefore, be regarded as
equally unlimited as the amount Of force
that can be generated"

use to me. Referring as they do 10 low
temperatures only, they merely show
what quantity of ice can be melted or of
water heated within a certain number Of

have also endfavoured 10 discover the
best means OF e~ffrcting this condensation,
and constructed three different machines,
which | call sun machines, for the crea.
ton of my new motive power. One of
these is worked by steam, which is pro-
duced by condensation of the suns rays;
the two others are set in motion by The
expansive power of atmospheric air,
heated by condensed rays. AS my space
Will not permit me to describe these sun
machines and the apparatus | have con
structed for the condensation of the suns
rays and the generating the requisite de-
gree of heat, [ shall confine my present
remarks TO The motive power itself. From
my experiments | know that at The tenn
perature required for steam-engints aud
calOrlc machines the action of the sun on
a SupericleS Of 10 feet square, assisted
by my apparatus, can evaporate 4S9
cubic inches of water per hour. The i'm
pOrtance of this fact can scarcely be over
estimated. 1t proves the presence of an
amount of heat efficient to lift 35, OOOlb.
at the rate of a foot "A minute, which is
rather more than 1-horSe power. QOOIb.
Swedish are equal to about 85Ib. English)
AS an indispensable proof OF the capaci-
tv of the sun TO produce heat, this result
Is, perhaps, OF greater importance than
any other physical truth admitting of
practical demonstration. If we consider
that the mean distance from the centre of
the sun to the Supelficles of the earth is
2l4'44 times greater than the radius of
the sun we easily find by Squaring this
figure that "a single square foot Of the
suns superficies must heat As, 9S4 square
feet of our planet. In other words, gwen
equal superfcIes, The sun emitS Is 9S4
times more heat than the earth receives.
Coupling this with what has gone before,
we may therefore conclude that an area
of ten square feet On the SUMS disc is
enough TO work a steam-engine Of As, 9S4-
lprst power, which under ordinary cir
NStances would require 100, OOOlb. Of
~ edlSh) coal per hour. This c%aIcula-
ton, far from over-estimaling the amount
of heat generated by the sun, falls far
below the real quantity. More han half
the heat is lost during the passage of the
rays through the atmosphere and the con-
densing apparatus. Accordingly, the
actual quantity of heat generated within

The Case Of Colonel WooIIey.

The extraordinary oppressive action
of the House in the case of Mr.. WOOlley,
is theme for general comment. 1t is
universally regarded as the most alarm
ing stride yet made by the Jacobins to-
wards despotisni. A citizen who comes
to Washington, summoned before q
Congressional Committee, ordered to
divulge private business-refuses-and
is imprisoned! Any citizen of any State
may be served in the same way-impris-
oned in the Capitol in which stands the
Goddess of Liberty. Any one is liable
to become the victim of political-per-
haps private-revenge. Such is the is
sue now pending.
Woolley was brought before the Com
mittee again to-day and refused to an.
swer what he did with his money, un-
less the House first pronounced the
question as proper. Butler Indignantly
exclaimed, "Back to your prison, sir.n
Strangers should be cautious about
visiting Washington. Col. Woolley's
family arrived here yesterday, and were
with him in the prison to-day. A lead
ing Radical Senator declared to-day
that the action of the Managers will lose
Grant hundred thousand votes. The
probabilities are that Woolley will spend

Conventions i'm Preston.

The REGISTER is requested to an
nounce that the Democratic Conserva-
tive voters of Preston County are re-
quested to meet in their respective
Townships, on SATURDAY, JUNE 9th,
for the purpose Of forming active Town
ship organizations to operate during
the coming State and National Cana
paigns, and for the appointment of del
egates to a County Convention to be
held at Cranberry Summit, July 4.
We are gratified to see our friends of
Preston issuing their call thus early. 1t
betokens the wide-awake, active, en-
ward spirit without which success is
impossible. Other Counties in the
State may profit by Preston's example.
Calls for Township and County meet
ings should be issued without delay,
and the largest possible publicity be
given to the times and places Of hold
ing them. No pains should be spared
to secure general attendance of all
who are tired of Radical Legislation
and exhaustive Taxation; and measures
shonld be inaugurated for the formation
of q Club in every School District if
possible. and certainly in every Town
ship. The good old days of light taxes and
free government will mover return to
bless us without that eternal vigilance"

RESIGNATION OF Stanton.

The World says the resignation of
STANTON is the fit and necessary sequel
of the utter collapse of the impeach-
nent. If the resolution taken in the
Republican caucus Of Senators to post
pone the vote and keep the impeach-
ment alive had been carried out in the
Court, STANTON would have held on in
spite of the further injury which would
have been done to the public service.
One object of the postponement was
doubtless to spite the President by his
longer retention.
There is no result of the Presidents
complete aequittal which will give more
sincere JOY to honest men than the hu-
initiation and disgrace of this insolent
miscreant. He was not only the occa-
sion of the impeachment, but its chief
instigator. As soon as the President
caused the notice of his removal to be
served on him, he Immediately volun-
tsered to send a copy of it to the House
without waiting to have it called for, as
if he had made up his mind that i'm
peachment was the necessary conse
quence and he had right to dictate
it. His Office has been the focus of all
the impeachment intrigues. He has re-
garded the whole affair in the light
of personal contest between him
aud the President, and he expected
Congress to decide that his title to
power was better than that of the Pres
ident elected by the people. He was
willing to disorganize the Government,
to virtually destroy the War Depart
ment by severing it from all connection
with the President, and to keep the
military administration of the country
in state of confusion, to crafty his
ignoble inselence and his sordid avarice
of power, His humiliation is as signal
as his character is infamous. He will
stink away into obscurity despised by
the very Radicals who have abetted his
insolence to crafty a spirit of base
revenge,
Nor is STANTON the only person who
is humiliates by his extorted resigna.

to restore STANTON, and who was con-
victsd Of duplicity and misstatements
by the written testimony ofhalfa dozen
gentlemen of the highest standing; Gen.

cavilled at the order of the President
forbidding him to recognize the unin-
dorsed orders of STANTON and disobey-
cd his Commander-in-C Chief; General
GRANT, who permitted it to be given

only a handsome but faithful likeness
of their late distinguished fellow-citi-
zen.
The sight of this picture naturally
and forcibly brings freshly to the mind
the fine ability and the public services
of Mr. STEENROD, and elicits many q

spared many year in good health that
his country might have had the benefit
of his well-directed energies and wise
cOunsels.
