SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Constitution publishes extracts from a highly interesting private letter from Commis- sioner Bowlin to the President, giving an ac- count of the settlement of the Paraguay diffi- eulty. The Constitution argues that while the Op- position party is composed of a heterogeneous mass of irreconcileable elements, avowing the most antagonistic doctrines, the Democratic bond of union is a common faith and a common Constitution. The Constitution urges the necessity of adequate national provisions for the protection of American citizens abroad in their persons, rights, and property. The Intelligencer isinclined to be facotious on the subject of the Democrats and Republi- cans both celebrating Jefferson's birthday. It styles the fact “Two Faces under the same Hood.” —~wee- U7" There are in the State of Oregon 135 flour mills, with a capacity of producing 2,500,000 bar- rels per annum.

Sn Decay or A Veneranie Wasutnaton INstt- TUTION.—The old colored woodsawyer, with pad on knee and buck on back, se long known as a fixture on the sunny side of the various wood yards of the Federal Metropolis, is fast passing away. Steam is obliterating him, as it has already obliterated from the knowledge of this generation a multitude of the methods and modes of the last generation. The Troy coach, for instance, is utterly unknown to many of our fellow-citizens who have arrived at man’s age, though the time was, not long since, when their construction was as familiar to all as that of the hack coach of the times. Steam is s: ing and splitting fire-wood for us so as to save half the late cost of those so necessary opera- tions, while performing them much more satis- factorily to the consumer of fire-wood than be- fore. As not one in a hundred of our readers have yet witnessed the operation of either of the two sets of machinery for the purpose in our midst—that of our enterprising neighbors, the Messrs. Galt, on Twelfth street. or of Mr. Paynter, at the foot of Seventh street,—we ad- vise all curious to observe their operation to pay one or the other of them a visit. A day or two since our curiosity induced us to drive down to witness the working of the machine of Mr. Paynter. It ia driven by a ten-horse steam engine, that drives the saw and the splitter, as well as a saw capable of sawing 4,000 feet of lumber per diem A rail- way running between the engine and the saw, extends out into the middle of the pile of wood in the wood-yard; a hand-car plies upon it, on which a cord of wood is loaded at a time, and & boy moves it backward and forth between the circular saw and the wood pile. The saw- yer takes the wood, stick by stick from it, and holds it to the saw, the length of the cut being regulated by a guage. The piece cut falls on to a table over which the splitter works pe ieularly. This splitter is a single wedge, 'e-like, a foot long on the edge ; each time it descends it does sure work, splitting the largest knots in the toughest hickory. After holding the wood being split under it one way, the man in attendance reverses its position, and splits the many pieces (of the og) at right angles to the former splitting. This work is done quite as fast as the sawing, which is a very rapid operation. Attached to the machine is also a saw of the diameter of four feet designed to be used in the woods in cutting up timber of the diameter of four feet. Timber that large is also split by a different and heavier splitter. Both these are used to saw and split four sticks. a foot in di- ameter, at atime. They are held to the saw ina sort of clamp; and, being sawed, the four cuts are placed in a sort of frame of sheet-iron. aud held under the larger cutter, which splits all four at a blow as easily. apparently, as the smallex aplitier, axe. or knife. splits one. On the whole, this machine is an important and valuable one to the domestic comfort and econ- omy of all housekeepers burning fire wood: and we regtrd its perfection and use as a substan- tial siep forward in the march of the mechanic arts. - - Tre Parscray as Direicertins.—The State Department is in receipt of voluminous des- patches from Commissioner Bowlin. giving a detailed account of his proceedings in Paraguay, and of the settlement of the difficulties between this Government and President Lopez without resort to arms.

Some of them bad been arrested. The Indians continued to interfere with the Cal- ifornia Overland Mail, shooting the carriers and stealing the stock. —— ee eee From Vexezvueta.—Private advices fom Pa- erto Cabello, March 25th, state that the govern- ment troops stationed at Palito, a short distance from that place, were surprised and attacked by the revolutionary forces from Coro, under the eom- mand of Generals Zamoraand Zulo. ‘The govern- ment troops numbered about four hundred, and after a few hours fighting, during which about a dozeu on each side were either killed or wounded, they were dispersed, took the road to Valen- cia In order to obtain reinfe ats. The revolutionary party, nunberin about seven hundred men, retired upon Merow,a small village three leagues the other side of Palito. ‘The government forces at Puerto Cabello num- ber about three hundred men, and they expect re- forcements from Salguana and Coro daily. ‘The latter place is in possession of the yovernment | forces, and it is expected they will send out troops | Yo attack the revolutionists in the rear, «hile the troops from Puerto Cabello, with reinforcements from Valencia and the other places, will march against them.
