The Bnbcock Fire Engine.

| SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION OF ITS POWERS ON sATUR-
DAY.
successful exhibition of the capabilities of
| the Babcock Fire Engine was made on the va
| cant lot at Fourth and Lombard streets, on Sat
urday, In the presence of a large crowd of peo-
pie, numbering, probably, two thousand A
temporary frame building, % IT, long 90 IT, wide
IL II #. high, with pitched roof Of well-seasoned
white pine had been erected, inside of which
| fourteen tar brrrelB were piled up and partly
| filed with shavings saturated with oil. And az
If this was not sufficiently combustbe to test the
powers OF the Extinguisher, the inner sides of
the building were smeared with tar, and sha-
wings were strewn around on the ground.
Almost instantaneously with the application
of the match lurid flame of fire leaped from
the tar barrels and in an incredibly short space
of time enveloped the entire building in
one solid sheet. Several minutes elapsed ere
stream was turned on from the engine and
many persons confidently looked for the roof to
fall in momentarily. But with the first applica-
/ tion of the water and gas a marked effect was
| apparent. Wherever it fell, the flames were
not only subdued but they seemed to refuse to
again ignite the wood, and in the short space of
moment the fire was almost entirely extin-
guished and only black cloud of smoke was
seen rising.
After the lapse of a few moments the building
was again fired, andiafter it was again enyeloped
in flame and the roof had began to fall in
stream was turned on second time from the
Engine with marked result. The exhibition
was thorough and complete, and all present
could not have been otherwise than satisfied
with the fairness of the test.
The engine used upon this occasion was one
of the large size, holding 65 gallons in each Of
the cylinders, and is operated upon the same
principle as the small engines, which we took
occasion to notice. short time ago. Carbonic
acid gas is generated from a mixture of bcarbo-
onate of soda and sulphuric acid, and is a deadly
enemy to fire. The two reservoirs to the engine
will enable it to play upon fire for about thirty
minutes, without refilling, but as one can be
worked at time, a stream may be thrown from
them for an indefinite period.
A committee was present at the exhibition
from Smyrna, consisting of Messrs. jefferson,
Van Gasken and Sharp, who were present with a
view to purchasing one for that town. J. H.
Hohecker, editor of the Smyrna Times, was also
present.
We would suggest, in closing this report, that
it would be to the benefit of all property owners
II the city of Wilmington had one or more of
these engines added to her fire department.
They are light and easily handled, always ready
for instant use, and cost but little to keep in re-
pair, as there is no machinery connected with
them nor any fire to burn out boilers thus rem
dering constant w4tchfulness unnecessary. With
this engine, damage by water, which is generally
more than by fire, would be mere triie.

Grants Treatment OF the sou,h. =


The Staunton Valley Firginidn, a Democratic
paper publishes an able article, contrasting the
records of Grant and Greeley, in the course OF
which it says;
With the views of fairness we entertain, we
regard the appeals, week after week. OF several
valley papers, based upon the following para
graph, as unjust, inslncere, and irrelevant to
this CANVASS Whether Gen. Grant ever gave
such an order is question with MS. If he did it
was issued in time of war, when every nerve of
the Federal power was stretched to its utmost
tension to overcome the Confederacy. 1t was
gwen as necessity of war, and is 80 stated.
This is the paragraph, said to be an extract from
an order OF Gen, Grant to Sheridan;
do all the damage you can to the railroads and
crops-carry Off stock of all descriptions and
negroes, 80 as to prevent planting II the ,Uar
as TO last another year let the Shenandoah Valley
remain a barren waste"
1t should be remembered that this Valley was
regarded by both Governments as the ''granary
OF the Confederacy," and that the destruction OF
material resources was one of the most humane
methods of closing the war and saving human
life. AS evidence that it was not issued in a
yaDdal spirit we have only to refer to the order
Grant gave to allow the soldiers who surrendered
at Appomattox to take with them their horses.
for the declared reason that it would enable Be,i
TO put in and clthiudte a crop
There was far less OF the fend and less of the
Vandal shown in this order than in that of the
Confederate authorities which set in flames their
own capital, destroyed thousands of dollars
worth of property Of private citizens, without a
cause or purpose that ever yet has been shown.
1t was no more brutal than the burning of Cham
bersburg by the Confederates. We do not wish
to be regarded as justifying one more than the
other. They were both extreme measures, not
called for by the necessities of the occasion,
But the reason assigned for making the She
handoah Valley barren waste was a military
one. 1t was for the purpose of crippling ths
power of the Confederacy and ending hostiities
