Remarks Of Lieut.. COT. Powers, OF
MissiSSipDi,

In the Mississippi Pilot, Of the 4th
inst, we find the following remarks
Of Lieu. Gov. Powers, upon the con-
vening af the Legislature OF that
State:
GENTLEMEN or THE SENATE:-I
cannot bat express feelings OF pleas
Rre at again beholdinR enEntOnanees
20 familiar and cheerful as those be-
fore me.
After a separation or little more
than five months We meet to continue
our duties as Legislators. The honor
and welfare OF the people of the State
IS for the time being in u keeping,
and we are accountable to the people
and 10 our own cOnsciences for the
manner in which the sacred Obliga-
ton we are under is discharged. II
we made mistakes during the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, we have now
an opportunity of correcting them
Ii we placed ourselves wrong upon
the record on any measure, we may
now place ourselves right. Every
consideration Of honor, respect for the
interests of the people and regard for
the future prosperity OF the State, de-
mands Of US discreet and enlightened
action tempered by q firm determine
ton TO act up to our highest cOnyic-
tons of right and justice.
Although since our adjournment
last July, the other branch of the
Legislature has lost several of its most
" Jrthy members-amOng the number
Speaker FRANKLIN, thsn whom Mis-
sissippi had no more worthy citizen
or conscientious public seTvant-our
number has suffered no diminutiOn
from this cause; we are, nevertheless
warned Of wi mortality and admOn-
ished that higher duties are demand
ed Of us than those that pertain to
physical life.
To those gentlemen who are sent
here to fill vacancies caused by the
resignation of Senators who were as
ISOLATED with Us last session, I am
confident a hearty welcome will be
extended and / cannot express a
wish ! would more glsdly see fulfilled
than that the same friendly and har-
monioUs spirit that has characterized
this body In the past may continue in
the future, and that improving by ex-
perience we may discharge the du-
ties entrusted TO us with such preeis-
sion and dispatch as will best promote
the interests of society and advance
the prosperity Of the commonwealth.

The Largest Blowing Engine West o
the AlleghenieS,

The Westerman Iron Company have
just put up, at their furnaces, in Sharon,
the largest blowing engine west of the
Allegheny mountains. heSharon Ha--
aid SAYS: Steam was turned on it last
Saturday evening, and it has been run
ming since as smoothly and successfully
as though it were the simplest piece OF
mechanism possible, and had been run
ming years Of its own volition, a thing OF
life, as il is Of strength and beauty. II
is what is known as a duplex, or double,
horizontal engine, and may be described
as consisting Of two distinct and sepa-
rate engines on the same bed, each with
its own steam and blowing cylinder, and
the steam cylinder OF each connected
with and driving q mammoth fy-wheel
common to both, and revolving between
the two blowing cylinders. The fly
wheel is. indeed. massive, being about
t~wenty-four feet and eight inches in di-
ameter, and weighing about thirty-fiye
tons. It was cast in ten Segments and
then bOltsd together on the shaft, and
clamped together on the rim by bands Of
wrought iron shrunk on.
1.-THE engine is the invention Of Mr..
James Westerman, the able manager and
part proprietor of the Westerman Iron
N9AAA1AI = ia AAAa lily AAAAANA
whose supervision the plans, ~speeifca-
tons and drawings were all made out
It is the only engine Of the kind known
70 be in existence, and il is thought by
competent iron men who have examined
its workings, to be the most effective
engine which has vet been built for
blowing furnaces. To his reputation as
one Of the largest and most success
ful iron operators in this country, Mr..
Westerman adds that Of = successful in
ventor.
"Messrs. Totten & Co., Of the Fulton
Foundry, Pittsburgh, had the contract
for building il, and right well they have
done il. It has been built in the most
successful manner and finished in the
highest style. They have had from IF
teen to twenty-five men employed on il
constantly from the first Of last March
until il was shipped to this place, about
the middle OF October, since which time
q force Of men has been at work putting
il up, under the superintendence or
Harry Pell, mechanical engineer, who
has executed the trust cOnided 10 him
in a mastery tanner. When he COM
pleted this engine end turned steam on
IL for the first time, It's movement was
perfect-not a bolt had to be frightened,
not a nut ~loOsened, not a rod heightened
or shoTtered-a success rarely achieved
For four hours he ran it at various rates
Of speed, from minimum to maximum,
as severe q test as an engine can be put
to, and If gave complete satisfaction.
This is the twelfth blast engine erected
by Mr.. Pell, who, although a very young
man in years, is, undoubtedly, master OF
his trade, and most emphatically under
stands his business"

A Canadian View.

From the Peoples Journal Toronto Canada
Those who contemplate the prObabili-
ty OF the United States soon allowing
tho free importation OF European manu-
features are invited to consider the fol-
lowing, which the Peoria Transcript, a
prominent Republican paper OF Central
Illinois, is moved to say by the accounts
OF the recent free-trsde banquet in New
York:
"What in the name OF all that is possi-
bic these fellows purpose to do, is to Us
wholly incOmprehensible." II con-
tinues: "If they expect To established
absolute free trade in the United States
within the next half century, we can
only set them down as uncaged lunitics.
A tariff is absolutely inevitable and no
cessary IN this country until our nation
al debt is reduced 10 insignifcance, as
the suns presence is necessary for the
illumination OF the earth. Either that
or point-blank and absolute Reputation.
Does any mau, or can any man, for a
moment think that foreign manufactur-
erH NAV be allowed to come into the
United States free and untsXed, while
our own industry must bear the whole
OF the burdens or national taxation? If.
such q man exists, he is not two remove
from an idiot"
That some new and improved arrange
ment with Canada is possible, and not
improbable either, by-and-by, we be-
lieve. But positively, and without any
doubt at all, the door is shut for quarter
Of a century at least, against the free adj
mission Of EuropedH goods.

Gen. Sehepck,s InstructIons.

The Dayton (ohio) Journal publishes
the points Of q letter written 10 its editor
by Gen. Schenck in reply to u asking
for particulars concerning his mission +:
He is entrusted with the discussion
Of the Alabama claims, and all other
questions which have been withdrawn
from the London mission. They all 60
back there now. We had never sup
posed that Gen. Schenck would consent
to have appeared at the English court, as
q mere h~gurs-head, or be satisfied with
the empty dignity of the position. His
letter confirms our opinion that all ques-
tons Of issues between the governments
OF the United States and Great Britain
are TO be placed In his hands for discus
sion and negotiation, and that such an
assurance was given with the tender Of
the mission.
"The General writes that he Will pre-
sent his resignation as the Representa-
tive Of the Third district, on the ress-
sembling Of Congress after the holidays,
and expects TO sail for England on the
18th OF 18Th OF January, though this has
not bBen 80 definitely settled as to JUS
tif7 him in engaging passage for either
OF those days. In regard to the contest.
Gen. Butler will take charge OF that in
the absence OF Gen. Schenok. InspeRk-
ing OF the EnglishmissiOn, Gen, Schenck
says that the present Secretary OF Lega-
ton, Mr.. Moran, who has been connected
with the mission for twelve or fourteen
years, is perfectly familiar with all its
details, a gentleman with whom he is
well acquainted, will continue to &C
cupy the position. This viii serve as an
answer 10 the applications which have
been made for this important place. The
General speaks Of these applications as
being " without number"
The Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
latiOns met at the office Of the Secretary
Of State, it is believed, to consider the
instructions prepared for Gen. Schenck
by Secretary Rish.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
From our Wisconsin correspondent.
DARLIyerov wa. IAN. 3. Is7I.


DARLINGTON, WIS, Jan. 3, 1871.
MI. EDIToR:-A wonderful discovery
was made last Saturday, near Dubuque,
on the Dubuque and Minnesota railroad,
near the base Of n Of n tall, frowning
bluffs overlooking the river, just above
Eagle Point. Al the foo OF this bluff a
company OF workmen were engaged in
e~xcsvsting in the loose, stratiied lime
stone rocks, for the railroad track, and
while digging in the side OF the bank,
they suddenly came 10 a large, smooth,
square stone, on the surface OF which
WAS inscribed a number Of strange char
scterS and devices, which no one, Of
course, now, can make cut. BY great
exertion the stone was removed, when,
to their a-stoniEhment, there came a great
rush or cold air from a large opening,
which extended into the hill in a hori-
zontal course. The rush OF air out was
such as to extinguish their lights in an
instant. Proper lights were secured, and
five men set ont TO explore the cavern,
which was about four feet wide and Eve
high, extending into the bluff about fhy
feet, to another large. smooth stone
Removing this they came to a flight Of.
stone steps, leading down ten feet, at the
bottom OF which they stood in a large
chamber, cut out Of the solid rock, TWEEN
ty-hye feet square aud twenty high, the
floor being perfectly smooth, like its pol
ished walls, which are embeIlished with
thousands Of characters and figures. rep
resentiug birds, trees, flowers, and other
natural objects, all finely carved in pure
limestone. On side the sun is well
represented, and under it is the figure Of
a man, in a loose, flowing robe, in the
act Of stepping out Of a boat. and hold
ing in his hand a dove. The roof of the
chamber is ornamented with stars, SER
penis, chariOts, &c. The outlines Of al
appear very plain and distinct. In the
center Of the room is a large, fiat slab,
which covers a large vault filled with
the skeletons Of an unknown race, all
Of them in a sitting or standing posture,
snd in a fine state Of preservation
Every face was turned toward the south
east. By the side of each stood a small
ANPaH ~ ENAANAA 4 AAAA LAAA1Aa GANn ]
filed with yellow earth, which covers
small bones of some animal. Heads Of
arrows, stone hatchets, and pieces oil
skulls, lay scattered about the vault.
The skeletons were in the form Of a
semi-circle, with the largest in the cen
ter. This skeleton stood seven feet eight
inches high, with teeth rs pure and white
as ivory, and holding in one hand a
small pearl ornamental bird. The skull
wore two ear ornaments OF shell, also
copper beads. No ornaments Of gold or
silver were found, but various imple-
ments Of copper lay thickly scattered
about, no doubt procured from the mines
OF Lake Superior. i understand that
these skeletons, and all Of the most inn
portant articles, will be removed TO the
hall OF the Iowa Institute OF Science and
Art.
