How Much lisa Horse Power

The New York Herald thus describe
horse power;
This question Is frequently asked:
What Is understood by q horse power,
and why came that way Of reckoning
TO be adopted and brought into general
user Before the power OF steam was
generally known and applied To mechan-
ieal purposes, horses were used 70 raise
coal and other bodies. Mr.. MOOts, lin
his experiments carefully compared the
relative power of the different breeds OF
horses, and found its average equal TO
raising 80, 200 pounds i foot per minute
or what is equivalent, to raise 330pounds
100 feet, or 100 pounds 800 feet during
that space of time, when attached TO a
level or sweep of a given length This
afterwards became the standard of
measuring power of force applied to
mechanical purposes, and which is still
retained in common use

ATunnel More Than a Mile Long.

A dispatch reaches us to-day that the
work of cutting through the San Fran
cisco Tunnel, ON the Southern Pacific
Railroad has been completed This is
one of the greatest achievements in rail
road construction accomplished on The
Pacific Coast. The length of this tun-
mel, cut through the San Fernando
mountains, is 1866 feet, or l mile and
1856 feet. With the completion of this
work, the Southern Pacific railroad be-
tween San Francisco and Los Angeles
will o be open for traffic. There have
been some remarkable specimens of en-
gineering skill in building this road.
The tunnel through the Tehachipe Pass
is unique, from the fact thatin the wind
ings Of the tunnel one part of the road
is over the other. The San Fernando
tunnel is by far the longest n on the
Pacific coast. The longest on the Cen
trail Pacific in crossing the Sierra is not
more than 1000 feet, not a fifth of the
length of this me piercing the San Fer
nando mountains. The work has also
been carried out with unprecedented
dispatch 1t is not two years since the
first borings were made. Many difficult
ties have had to be encountered. San
Fernando is the petroleum region OF
the Los Angeles, and there were some
fears less in tunneling the mountain the
workmen might come upon a vast res
eryoir of petroleum, or equally noxious
fluid and gases. The great obstacle has
been the character of the rock, and the
enormous pressure upon the timbers
placed as supports. To obviate this
pressure, the tunnel will be lined with
masonry of strong resisting power. [SaI

THE cENTENSIkI.

The Albany Journal refers 10 the fact
that number of papers are expressing ap-
prehensions that the Centennial Exhibi-
tion will be financial failure, and says
"We think these fears and foreboding are
both premature and in bad taste. 1t is
true that the attendance has not come up
TO the expectations OF the Philadelphians.
But it should be remembered that the great
show has been faily open little more than
a mo, tn, and that this is the hottest part
OF the year in the city of Philadelphia. Al
ter the last of July, the temperature there
will be more endurable. August is a more
comfortable month in that city than is is in
many places farther north. There is every
promise that during the last of that month
and throughout September and October the
rush will be immense. Parties have already
engaged very large number OF rooms at
the hotels and boarding houses for that
season, and if the beginning is not wholly
satisfactory the closing is likely to be all
that the most sanguine have looked for.
1t is surely rare opportunity to witness
a memorable exhibition. 1t is the greatest
that the world has ever beheld, and cannot
be sighted by SO eager sisht-seers as the
American people. But whether it'pays in
the money sense of the word or not, is not
SO very vital after all. 1t will surely be a
grand success in the highest meaning of the
term

THE BOUNTY BILL.

Hundreds of Union soldiers among the
constituents Of Mr.. Phillips, in this dis
district, will be interested in the bounty
bill which passed the House. 1t provides
that the sum of eight and one-third dol
lars shall be paid TO every non-commis-
stoned officer. musician, private soldier or
sailor or marine, including those upon the
rolls as Indians, for each month of service
between April IL, 1861 and May 8, 1865,
and applies alike to regulars and volun-
teers: In the case Of the death OF the
Soldier, &c, the bounty is to 60 to the
widow or heirs. In computing and ascer-
certaining the bounty there shall be de-
Quoted, any and all boun,ies already paid
by the United States or any State. Per
cons who served as substitutes,
captured prisoners of war at the time of en-
listment and persons who were discharged
on their own applications, except for disa-
bility, are excluded, unless the latter were
discharged with view of reenlistment, or
for purposes of promotion. Every applica-
tion for bounty must state whether the ap-
plicant has received any other bounty.
Attorneys or agents are allowed only ten
dollars for prosecuting any claim, and
violation of this clause is made punishable
by fine and imprisonment. Provision is
made for secondary proof in all cases where
the discharge of the applicant has been lost.
All applications under this act must be
made within five years after its passage.

FROM THE FRONTIER.

CHEYENNE, June 23.-As intimated in
the last dispatch, Gen. Crooks command
left camp on the morning Of the
10Th instant, with four days ratioDs. They
struck the right hand branch of the Yellow
stone, into Montana, following down this
creek. The next morning, when about tive
miles down, the Snake and Grow scouts
brought in word from the front that the
Sioux were in force in the hills, and by half
past eight o'clock the command was In po-
Ition, and an extensive firing inaugurated
along the north of the creek, the enemy,
who had begun the attack, showing thereby
their confidence in their ability TO whip the
command, retiring as the soldiers and allies
advanced. The Sioux were ali we'll
mounted, well armed, and swarmed in
numbers, and at times were prodigal in the
Use of ammunition. The fight lasted four
hour, when the enemy retired out Of sight
at every point. The casualties are as iol-
lows:
Third L. S Cavalry, Company Ser
geant Marshal, and private Roe, killed !;
privates Broaderson and Feathersby,
wounded. Company I-Privates Alien and
Flynn, killed sergeant Enoch, Corporal

Second U. S. Cavalry-Capt. Henry, killed.
Company D-Sergeant CDonnell, wounded.
Company B-Privzte Steiner, wounded
All the wounded will likely recover
One Snake scout was killed, and
3 wounded and Crows wounded. The
dead bodies of 13 Sioux we're found on the
fe d, and it Ii certain that a number more
were killed, with the usual proportion OF
wounded. Gen. Crooks horse w.s shot un-
der him. The 6ght occurred fifty miles
from the wagon and pack trains, and owing
to the want Of rations, and in order thar
the wounded might be cared for, it was
necessary to return. The officers and SOL
diers all displayed marked gallantry The

was attorney for certain parties, recently, in
a case against the Gulf road, for damages
arising from the killing of a man named
Young. The case was compromised, by
the payment by the railroad company OF
twenty five hundred dollars. Snoddy re-
tained twenty five per cent. OF the amount
as his fee; the clInent thought the charge a
trifile steep; Snoddy net only re-
fused to pay over any part OF the "fee,
