SATURDAY. MARCH es, 1871.

General Mcclellan has again given evidence
of his peculiar talents for delay and expenditure
by his connection with that stupendous hum
bug, the Stevens battery. The work on this
naval monster was begun, we believe, about
twenty-six years ago, and it has cost unknown
millions Of dollars. At Mr.. Stevens death,
about three years since, he left by his win a
great sum of money to complete the vessel, and
General Mcclellan was appointed engineer with
handsome salary to superintend the work.
This be has dope-so effectually that he has used
up all theafunds, and the vessel is pronounced
moresaucomplete than it was three years ago,
titNhgh il is said that q thousand men could
hnisH 4 in six months. OF course he has now
rssl ledhis appointment as chief engineer and
rsls one great obstacle to the success of the en-
prise b removed. The want of money, now
ever. isa serious, though less formidable diin-
: Gully, and there is no prospect that the great
iron-clad will ever be finished, The stevens
family have relinouished all their interest in it,
the state of New Jersey, to whom by Mr. Stevens
will II was to be presented on completion, has
no disposition to urge its claims, and the city is
trying to find out who is responsible for moving
it ont of the way of new street, which has been
laid out over the ground which it occupies. An
elephant used to be the type of cumbrous and
unwelcome gift, but herd of elephants would
be trivial burden compared with this insatia-
Bile battery. General Mcclellan will now be
able to give his whole attention to the New
York docks, of which he has been chief engineer
for year or more. The people of that city are
not easily appalled, by the time or expense re-
quired for the construction of their public
works, as the patience with which they have
to that stupendous job, the new
court house, abundantly proves; but before
General Mcclellan gets through with their
docks, they will havelearned what is possible in
this way to master of delay and indecison.

Gen. Barlow has written reply to Mr. Fields
defence of his professional conduct in the Erie
litigation. This reply occupies an entire page
of the New York Tribune, and leaves Mr.. Field
with badly damaged character for fairness
and candor. In one particular Mr.. Field is con-
Victed Of direct misstatement In his defense
he had denied Gen. Barlow's statement that he
received a fee of $4,000 for his attendance and
advice at certain railroad meeting at Albany,
and asked, "Who fabricated this story, and
where did your correspondent obtain his false
informationp General Barlow answers this
question by giving the names of respon-
si6le persons who obtained their information
from Mr.. Field himself. The reply closes with
this sentence: 81 shall take care that his con-
duct is investigated before body of men who
cannot be deceived by small tricks and petty
evasions" This means, of course. that he will
prefer charges of unprolessional conduct before
the bar association. The promised inquiry will
not only be of importance to Mr.. Field and the
bar of New York, but will have great interest to
lawyers everywhere

The ingenuity of rogues qnite keeps pace with
that of honest artisans and inventors. One of
its latest triumphs is the invention of delicate
instrument that registers the combinations of
the single and double dial bank safe lock when
ever the SAFE to which it is attached, is opened.
This instrument is said TO have been perfected,
and to be now in use by professional burglars
in England and this country. The manner OF
using 1t is, after gaining access to the bank
room, by false keys or otherwise, without ex-
citing suspicion, to remove the knob and dals
and substitute for them counterfeits, on the in
ner surface of which the recording instrument is
placed. The safe is then left TO all appearance
intact, and the bank officers see nothing to ex-
cite their suspicious. Button subsequent visit
the burglars read the secret of the combina-
ton, and the safe opens TO them as freely as to
the lawful owners. This device is said to have
been tried recently on the safe of one of the
large financial institutions in New York, but,
fortunately for rhe safety of the funds, the strip
of paper on which the record was to be made
caught and prevented the dials from working.
The shoemaker was called in and removed the
dials, when the trick was discovered.

the price decreases as the market

season is over by the end of Octo.

prices begin to rule. The sweet

ported TO have threshed, with a
fail, two bushels of wheat for
seed. Theee two bushels we're
sown in the came field and with
the same conditions as seven bush-
els of machine threshed seed. They
were found to yield one third
more per bnshel than the machine
threshed. There is very gener.
al opinion that machine thrcshed
wheat is somewhat injured for
seed. If snch injury is anything
like the extent indicted by this
experiment, it becomes a matter
