Toe spectacle is suggestive. It reads us a fearful lesson on the effects of compro- the poliuted a'tar of expediency. Baxntag forofliva and its emoluments, the whig (arty in the Nortuern, States on special occasions, aad t subserve parti- cular aime, long since sought alliance with the abolitionists, foudly hoping that they could throw their incubos when it became jaconvenient.

The two hino wheels of the engise (while the ap- paratusis +tusionary) acting as fly wheels to tae bind axle, being made fust to the wheels by a “sieeve coupling” in the cen‘re, assista in propelling the sppa atus when in progress to and f.om a fire. The boiler is a vertical furnace with a “worm tabe”’ ipsid+, the water being im the tube and tne fire assivg wround it. A “doctor” is used to eupply The engwe with water; there is also an sir pump to furma vacuam ia toe boiler, (by meansof whics stevm is of course much more :apidly poner whichis worked by twomen from the instant the fire is started until the s'eam overa’es onthe “doc- tor.” In trontotthe engine is a large tank, con- taining a sufficient supply of water for the‘doctor,” by means of which the engine can be worked uatil the suctions are attacued. On each side of the tank | is a column, ten inches by about four aod a half feet im length, used as air chambers, which are copnectep atths bottom by a semi-circular four itch pipe (around the tank) with six ou‘lets or openings to make attachmente; below, by means of acifferent pipe, are two large openinuss for larger attacl ments. Taus the engine is enabled to throw six three-quarter inch streams, or two one anda quarter inch streams, or one two inch stream to al- Most any required distance. The general appear ance of the engine can be best understood from the a representation here with attached, which is ex: eedingly accurate. It is that of a large lovo- motive—its weight is four ‘ons—it rests upou three wieels, and can be readily drawn by four horses. This engine is muoh superior to the original one, and is yet susceptible of improvement. [n speak- | ing of the 0; erations of the engine. your c »mmittee only state what they saw, and are entirely satisfied thet if necessity had required it, water could have wn much more speedily. With regard to the entire success of the steam engine, your com- beg to quote from the report of the Caief Engineer of the Cincinnati Fire Department for the year ending April 1, 1864. In speakizg of tae old spparatus, or “ Steam Ergins No. 1,” and the one | now known as the “ Citizen’s Gift,” he says:— “ The present stesm engiae bas been in the ser- vice of the Fire Department for over sixteen montbs, and if any doubt remiined at the aate of. my last report of the practicability of this engine for protectins property from destruction by fire, it must now be removed. The ‘ee rey success of | this invention basso completely sd every one that has seen it in operation, not only as a means of greater security to property, but in point of econo- my far beyond anything now in uze. Tnis has beea 20 manitcst that [have beer enavied, throvzh tho liberality cf some of our citizens ani iasacance companies, to raise a sufficient sum to pay for an- other new steam evgine, which hag jast been fla ished ond fs now in thé service of ine city.

From the same vainable report we leara that the expenee of the entire depariment of Ciacinasti for last year was $77,272 63, from which we msy ce- duct $12,276 63, which was iucisentsl; the dspart- ment is conducted on the pay syatem.

The solid and massive character of the work by which the road is carried through the gap, at a consider uble elevation above the bed of the broad river by, adds very much to the impression.

The ex- prees train came rushing along, just halting to teke us and our luggage, and in a thrice we were whirling and shrieking away towards Harper’s Ferry. The same plain but exceed- ingly comfortable cars as the week before; and now, as then, we were much pleased with the arrangement by which, every quarter of an hour or £0, @ man passes through the cars with a can of ice water and a staud of tumblers, from which every one may freely drink. At first we thought there was something to pay, but soon learned that the luxury was provided by the company, who are surely humane and thoughiful men, or endued with a sharp eye to their own interest, at the very least. This attention dn the part of the Baltimore and Ohlo Railroad Company was the more grateful to ws as the water along the line is often strongly impreg- nated with lime, an indication, I am told, of a strong soil, favorable to culture, but by n: means agreeable to an unaccustomed palate. The water thus served was soft and clear, icy cold, and eparkling; it was a pleasure, too, apart, to observe the skill of the water carrier in filling the glasses without spilling a drop from his long nosed can; and remembering the dirty, offensive stream which I have too often | found to flow from the water vessel kept in the cars at the North, I internally resolved to write a strong recommendation of the Southern practice. The only objection to it is your be- ing obliged to drink after other people, without the glass being washed between, except by a slight rinsing; but when people are travelling they must not be too nice, aud, in fine, if you are so squeamish that you can’t bear it, why drinking is not compulsory. I believe itis the drought which makes me linger so long on this theme. Let me tura from magnificence of Harper’s Ferry.
