KEELY'S NEW MOTOR.
A Florida Man Is Satisfied IL il E0thIng
bat CarDOIic iAcid Gas.

SAVANNAH, GA, June 23.-The
Morning NedOs OF this city yesterday con-
tanned u communication from TOcoi,
Florida, signed ~. W." evidently
written by DR.. John Wescott, the presi-
dent of the railroad between st. Angus
tine and Tocoi. In this communication
it is suggested that the new motor dis
covered by Mr.. Keely is nothing more
nor less than earbOlic acid gas.
DR.. Westcott says that heis convinced
by description of the generator, multi
plier and and pipes used by Mr.. Keely
that carOolic acid gas is the power aE-
piled. II is generated in any desired
quantities by the action of diluted sui
phuric acid upon marble dust or chalk.
At the ordinary temperature, DR.. West
colt says, it retains the gaseous state,
but when subjected to the pressure Of
thirty-six atmospheres Tor five hundred
and forty pounds to the square inch at
q Temperature Of So F., 1t is reduced to
q liquid, while at a temperature of 45'
F. it has an expansive force of one thou
sand and sixty pounds to the square
inch. DR.. Westcott claims to nave
demonstrated its immense power as q
mechanical agent by actual experiment,
and he gives a table of results derived
tEeTei30m as follows:
AT 50 Fahrenheit the pressure in
pounds per square inch is 372,
AT 100 Fahrenbsit The pressure in
POUNDS per square inch is 403.
AT zoo Fahrenheit the pressure in
pounds per square inch is AGO.
At 800 Fahrenheit the pressure in
pounds per square inch Is $50.
AT 400 Fahrenheit the pressure in
pounds per square inch is 697.
At AS Fahrenheit the pressure in
pounds per square inch is 1880,
AS motor, caIbolic acid would be in"
expensive. The prOpelling power gen
Grated therefrom is so cheap that it
would require, according to Dr. West
colt, not more than five dollars worth
to run steamer from any Atlantic port
in the United States to New York.

RAILROAD VERSUS TELEGRAPH.
Trouble Between the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Road and
Gse Western Union Com
PaBy.
Press and Herald. July 1st.l

Press and Herald, July LIST
Ia consequence of some kind of q mis-
understanding between the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad
company and the Western Union tele-
graph company, the telegraph office at
M oTristOWn has been closed, and we are
HOW without Geographic communication
with the outside world -MOTriStOlOR
Gazette.
For the past eighteen months there
has been an "unpleasantness" between
the railroad company and the telegraph
company, growing out Of the telegraph
eompany's demand that o new contract
should be entered into, in place of the
agreement OF 1855, which the railroad
company claims is still binding upon the
parties, The telegraph company has,
duiing the LAST year and half, discon-
tiuued the Offices at Messy Creek, Rog-
ersville Junction, Chsrleston, Sweet
water, and last Wednesday closed the
office at MorristOwn. Between Bristol
and Knoxville the only telegraph offices
are at JOnesbOro and Greenville; be-
tween Knoxville and Chattanooga, az
L1udOn, Athens and Cleveland. The
Western Union company claim that the
contracts of 1858 made with the East
Tennessee and Virginia, and the East
Tennessee and Georgia railroads are not
applicable to the consolidated road; the
railroad company claims that they are
still in force, the Two roads being con-
solidsted under one management. The
Western Union company compels the
railroad company to pay for all messages
from point on the old East Tennessee
aud Virginia line TO point on the old
East Tennessee and Georgia line, and
Uice UerSa. Some days since the West
ern Union company ordered the sever
ance of the eastern connecting wires Of
the depot telegraph Office in thissity,
but have since restored them.

Holly Springs South On the question
OF retrenchment, the Radical party has

wanting. Radicalism is responsible for
the high taxes, the exhOrbitant expen-

the State, and "there never was party

Holly Springs South: At the June

held, we had the members arrested. Two
OF them have been tried, found guilty,
and fined eighty dollars each, with

not yet been tried.
Holly Springs South: Our old friend

from his farm near Watson a stalk OF
cotton that he pulled out of his field
that measures two and a half feet in

squares, several OF which were nearly
ready to open when pulled. Hubbard
has always worked and voted with the
white people of our county, and sends
to know who are the candidates at the
coming election.
Holly Springs Reporter: Rain is
much needed, and the vegetation OF all
kinds have been suffering for it. In
some parts Of the country rains have
fallen, but not plentifully. The drouth
is raging, and there is no reason to ex-
pect much of the crops until the mOis-
ture comes. The cotton is Iimbing and
blooming finely, and of it we hear good
accounts; but what We have seen was
spotted, some good and some poor. Ev-
identity there is not as much corn plant
ed as was supposed, and as a conse-
quence it will be high and scarce next
year. Oats are being harvested. The
yield is short. Fruit crop large.

as to combine the Utiie ct dulce,' to have
transplanted in the grounds specimen
Of every tree, shrub and vine indigenous
to Tennessee, and also to place on them
q specimen or more of every mineral we
have. We learn that, although not now
directly connected with the work on
the capitol grounds, yet in view Of his
former devotion, zeal and love in
the work, the governor and Others in
authority have requested his assistance
in carrying out the original idea. There
is no appropriation to cover any expense
that may now be incurred in doing so,
aud hence, if Mr.. Morgan can succeed,
it must be in and by the vo untRry CO.
operation Of those citizens Of the State
who share with him the pride derived
from such an improvement OF the capt.
tol grounds. The idea fully carried out,
as suggested by him, will combine the
useful with the beautiful. A moments
thought brings out the beauty Of the sug-
gestion, and a second moments Teflsc-

ment, the mineral wealth and advan-
tages If the State will be on constant
exhibition, and, while performing the
office Of adornment, advertise the ca

Nearly every day we are compelled TO
take note of cases in different parts of the
country of young ladies who are in too
much haste about getting married.
There is matrimonial anxiety in the air.
In Frankfort, the sOur-mash capital of
Kentucky, Miss Matte Rowland was
engaged to be married to one Wilson on
the first of July. Wilson was devoted
lover, and Matte was happy. But on
Wednesday of last week Mr.. Andy
Crabb introduced himself to the young
lady's presence, and allowed that he
would like TO marry her. She didn't
give the matter q second thought. She
told him yes" so suddenly that it
made his head swim. Next morning,
at six O'Clock, while Wilson was still
sleeping in blissfuI anticipation of nup-
tial joys, his girl was married to another
fellow. She went on the principle that
bird in the hand was worth at least one
in the bush. Massachusetts, likewise,
furnishes a case of matrimonial haste,
thougn it differs considerably from the
Kentucky affair. 1t was in Springfield
that two respectable families, weEIied by
the opportunities of the son Of one fam
lily and the daughter of the other, con-
sented to allow the pair to De married on
the Fourth of July, although the en-
gagged parties were much too young.
Preparations on a large scale were be-
il G made by the brides family, when
that precocious young lady calmly H.
formed her parents that they were do
ing lot Of work for nothing, because
she was manied just a year ago AT
that time the couple we've both at school,
but had become tried of waiting to grow
up, and had married secretly while on
plea sure drive to a Connecticut town.
They had conducted them selves So cir
cumspectly since their marriage that
nobody suspected anything wrong.
Marriage, says an Arabic prOverb; is
like besieged fortress; those who are
out are crazy to get in, and those who
are in are desperately anxious to get
out.

The capitol grounds at Nashville have
undergone great improvement within
the last two or three years. The Ten
nessean, who has not visited the place
within that time, would now scarcely
recognize the hill from 8 southern ap-
prOach, except for the msiestic building
which, once seen, is never forgotten.
The hand Of art has beaut fully
smOothed out the rugged face of the
hillside, and the decorations already
render the grounds the chief attraction OF
the city. These improvements have
been mainly the fTuit Of the rental re.
ceived for the penitentiaTy, and il they
are ever complete according to design,
our capitol and immediate surroundings

the building, 10 due to Colonel Samuel
D. Morgan, who still lives in Nashville

ia q recent number of the Columbia
Herald pays him graceful tribute as
follows: "This venerable citizen of Ten

1882 he succeeded his father on the Aus

To-day is the Fourth of July, and tc-
morrow il will be celebrated with more
thai ordinary fervOr-not as formerly
by gush and gorgeous flights Of rhetoric
AMI grandiloquent oratory; but by q rs-
eIpitulation Of the great and eternal
principles upon which our government
was founded, ard by which alone 1t can
be perpetuAted. Toe Fourth Of July be-
longs to no party, no section. 1t is the
inheritance Of all alike, AMI tomorrow
the baxles Of party and the remnant Of
sectional hate should sound uuce.
However we may differ, all should be
adjusted by patriotic reverence for the
men and the principles which have
made the dsy Conspicuous in history
Coleridge speaks Of the vain German
who never spoke Of himself without hit
ing his hat; 80 Oh. the Fourth OF July We
should MAKE a profound bow to our
selves. The lesson Of the day should be
the faith OF our fathers. They were as
wise as the present generation. o. ev-
cry condition in life, they were singuiarly
sagacious and Thoughtful, and warned
the country OF the dangers through
which II has passed. Given to grave re-
Election, they were neither dreamers nor
Missionaries, for they were too much IN
earnest TO be rhetoricisns. Our great
revolution was nDthing but rebellion,
but its success ssnctified the rebellion.
On the Fourth OF July, ninety-nine years
ago to-day, the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence was solemnly adopted. The
doors Of the hall we're closed during the
debate. But the people gathered in
crowds outside, eagerly awaiting the re-
suit; when suddenly the bell in the
statehouse tower, on which was engrsv-
en- the scriptursl text: proclaim liber-
ty throughout all the land unto all H.
habitants thereof" burst into a joyous
peal, and a new epoch of human history
had begun. The whole Of the political
philosophy ef our fathers was developed
from two principles which blazed bright
ly in their sacred pledge, that all men
are created equal and that governments
derived their powers from the consent OF
the governed. Our fathers proclaimed
that all men were born equal, that they
had an equal right to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness, and it will
only be by. an observance Of these self
evident truths thst.we can ever hope to
be tranquillized, homogeneous people.
AS grave political questions present
themselves to our consideration, let us
weigh them by the faith Of our fore
fathers, and especially the constitution.
II they balance, then let our every effort
be devoted TO their triumph. If not, LET
US wage honorable war against them.
Let us not be tempted to our fall by the
demon discord, who seeks, Lucif5r-like,
TO have us driven from the paradise built
by the blood and faith of our fathers.

The great fault OF the southern people

The world has but little idea OF the re-

been too poor to advertise themselves.
Indeed, such q course would have svail-
ed but little, SIS immigrants could not
have been induced to locate in a section
subjected to military rule and to the

We are gratified 10 see that this work

His letter is too long for publication in

which you will fnd by calculation the
average value per acre OF Kentucky
is SIS 40; her products per acre, $40 7s;
that Of Alabama lie Sl3 49, and her pro-
ducts are sl234 per scre. While the as
sessed value Of lands in Kentucky lie
three times that Of Alabama, yet the
product per acre is about One-third less
While it would take nearly four years
