8 JEFF. DAVIS. WE 1S BECOMING SAVAGELY IRASCIBLE, Woport that He is Breaking Up in Bfind and Body. de. ae, @ur Fortress Momroe Correspondence. Forrress Mownor, Jan, 29, 1866. “How is Jeff. Davis?” I asked an officer this morning. “Savage and irritable as the very devil,” was the answer I receivad. An explanation followed, showing ‘at from the promulgation ot the leading counts in the ‘Mmadictment against him Jeff.’s temper has shown a sour- fag turn and a growing irascibility very marked and painful. Congressional inquiries regarding him, and vesolutions, and talks, and that vote of the Kansas Senate recommending him the hangman's knot without Judge or jury, have not tended to smooth his perturbed feelings and mellow into mildness his vinegary ut- ferances and bitter arrogance of manners, All coming in present contact with him and having opportunities to warefully opserve and study him corroborate this grow- img change in disposition and conduct, It is charaoc- ferized as something more than the irascibility of fhe invalid, something beyond and deeper than that wilfal and peevish temper natural to long imprison. ment, a bitterness of the spirit curbed in its ambitious tg, the canker of care and disappointment and deferred eating into the soul and sapping up all the mprings of a healthy vitality. His mien and air, for- merly bofty and dignified, though gentle, have become in the peevishness and petty Complainings of an old woman. A present sight at Jeff. Davis, that ach day becoming more closely lined with wrinkles, his bair a deeper gray, those eyes becoming more bereft @f their keen lustre, that form, once so straight, becom- img bowed, and with this to hear his almost childish eomplaints at trifles, imparts, I am told, a lesson of the wanity of earthly ambitions and strivings more forcible Wan all the wise utterances of that sage philo- sepher Solomon. Everything indicates less buoyancy and hope regarding his is attention now is chiefly ult-finding and reading his Bible. Once his solicitude was about himself and bis future pro- @amme in life. Now he talks of his family and his future state in another world. A source of great encouragement weems to be the efforts being made in the South to place Ahi wife and children ac. ‘mg up in mind as well as body; and, with this made clear, Jeave him to bis solitude and whining and prayers, and hope that he may wisely improve the present, which his, and therein make himself ‘stronger for whatever fiate may betide him in the dim and shadowy future. Machine Shop Items, WHE CASTING OF 4 MAMMOTH STKAM CYLINDER AT THE ETNA IRON WORKS—THE LARGEST MARINE CYLINDER IN THE WORLD. Yesterday afternoon a large number of persone, con- misting prmmcipally of leading machinists, naval engi- neers and others interested in the construction of ma- ebinery, aseembled at the Etna Iron Works to witness the casting of the mammoth steam cylinder, which is to be placed in one of the Jarge steamers now building in thie city by Mr. Webb, for the Bristol line. ‘The eylinder measures one hundred and ten inches in diameter, with twelve feet stroke of piston, and is said to be the est piece of marine machinery ever cast in this or any othor eonniry. {t weighs eighteen tons, and if it was laid on end thirty people could be seated comfortably around a ‘table placed in its centre wilhout expenencing the slight- est ineonvonionce. The molten iron was first poured into two large re- ovivors and a tavk, or reservoir, and ata given signal from the superintendent the liquid iron was simultane- ously let into the large mould that was constructed to veceive it. Great injerest was manifested by all nt Jest the mould should break ; but it was too firmly built ‘to allow of sach an accident, and in less than five min- utes from the time the moiten iron was first let into it the cylinder was pronounced to be successfully cast. It ‘will:remain in the mouid four or five days for the pur- pose of allowing it to cool thorongbly and gradually pre ‘vious to being removed. The steam condenser for the same engine will bs proportionately large, It will weigh ‘@wenty-thre> tons, and will be eighteen feet long, twelve feot wide and nine feet high. ‘The machinists of America, and more ype Urvee of New York, aro making rapid strides towards ‘the advancement and perfection of their scientific and Ia- Borivus calling, and but a very few years will elapse be- fore the machine shops of this city will excel, as they mow equal, the institutions of a similar nature in any — of the world. The work turned out from the New fork shops has for a number of years compared fa- ‘worably with that executed at any of leading Euro- works, and the proverbial ive character of Be Yankee Js a pretty ce rtuin indication that should our engincers continue to make improvements at the same pace that has lately cl them, thero is no doubt but that they will soon take the lead in this, ag well as $m the numerous other industrial pursuite, Brooklyn City News.
