8ia: I have now made tho tour of the I0*1
States of North America, and think it poinl
probable I can giro your readers some use- UP J1
ful information. I landed at Now York ll}nl*
city ten months ago, and have spent my him,

of those people, and must confess tlint if 1 woul

But upon one point?national pride?men,
women and children are all alike, and tho cr'PI
idea of any nation of Europe, or the ^vhole that
of them put together, conquering this coun* ?<*ld'
try is perfectly absurd to them. Every _ N
body reads the papers, and a good-humored rjl?r
urchin of twelve years used to rale mo s'x '
soundly at Philadelphia for our failures at 'owa
Sebastopol. The best version of American or n
sympathy was given me a few days sinco. l',e 1
When the war commenced tho Turks were n
the weaker power, and our sympathies reau
were with bcr. After tho alliance it was bad

not only sympathizing with Englaud, but t'uc<
assisting her with imttcrial aid. Tliis I ^HU
heard fiom a very intelligent man, who 1 *',c.
do not think suspected my nationality; 8??'
and I firmly believe it. In the South I spent 8re"
some time upon the plantations, and many sny
times held long conversations with the l'llH
laves, and always with the saine result. an''
Tboy are much better satisfied than I sus- l'ic
pectcd, and when I spoke of the probability fe:ir
of a war, I was answered that, "white folks
wouldn't let nigga fight." "But," said I,
"the blacks from the West Indies will come wc *
hero and help you to gain your freedom." ow"
"What! black soger codio here; let 'em 'illu
cum, den massa let's fight do nigga, 1 ' l',:u
know, and Gar Almighty wo givo 'cm | cr' '
gosh!" If not expressed in the same lan- j vvo"
guago the same feeling was ever expressed. ; jM3?
I havo visited all their national armories, < 'lou
and although tho country is at peace, the j ^cc'
greatest activity prevails; all the old arms i con
are condemned, and by next spring nearly j ,no1
1,500,000 Minio lilies will be ready fur dis- j ?v?'
tribution, besides Colt's, Clark's, and others.
A Mr. Alger, at Boston, is now engaged 1 to
on a now kind of gun for the navy. Tho t "'!c:
range, with solid shot, is nearly five miles; ; ,nel
with shell, somewhat shorter, and the ex- i "J1";
plosion of the shell renders conflagration j 1 101
certain to a great distance. These ar6 call- ! ;l!? !
cd, by those at work on them, tho secret ' l"?!
gun. But what tho secret is I could not lu
ascottnin. Since (ho war ruuioia I have j ,lN
been observant of all and every thing that i ?*
could give mo a clue to tho feelings of the j 01 J
people. This is not diilicult to coino at, j nn-'
tor tho feeling ii general, and their confi- ' l?re
deoce is so great in their own strength I ol
that the most diffident speak only of tho j . '
consequences and the result. In company 111
with a party of merchants, most of whom no ,
were engaged in trade with England, 1 ! 9UCI
broached tho war subject, and was artou- ! !nRr
ished to find thciii so indifferent about the 1 ,!IV
consequences. One of lliein, largely inter- j . ?
e?ted in clipper ship?, in answer to a ro- ! ,nlr
mark of mine, that ho would have to lay i
up liis clippers?"Not a bit of it," said lie,
"they will make capital privateers; the government
will-furnish guns of long range;
no British man-of-war can cn'.cli them ex V
cept a steamer, and they cannot in a good . !?/<
breeze, so we must take chances." "But ! the
where will you get your men!" "Where! I don
Wo have 84,000 enrolled fishermen who tho
will flood our sea-ports, and I will tell you that
candidly that in less than six mouths after disci
war is declared there will be 500 of the invp
fastest vessels in the world afloat as priva- ) ones
teers, and an English roetchantiuan will ' perl
not bo able to show herself nt sea. What i disc
if wo lose a few, wo will make it up in the won
end. Two steamers were launched a few I It w
days since, each about 4,000 tons, built in culu
eight mouths, and it is just as easy to build lion
SO in tho same time or less." "llut your the
coasts are not defended, itomember you also
have no Sebftstopol or Cronstndt." "Nor acco
do we want any. We have a few very ism.
pretty forts, but should any nation nttcmpt One
an invasion, we will meet them with hand whit
and hearts ctpial to any, superior to most; his I
and we can concentrate 600,000 men at tons
any point on our coast in a few days. Let ingt
the alarm bo sounded at this moment, nud sixt)
in a few hours near 50,000 men will make inin
their appearance armed and equipped." Con
This sounds like bragging, but it is n fact. j in d
This city (New York) has near that rmin- hill
ber enrolled and equipped; every man prov
keeps his lille at home or in the private pria
armoiiy of the company to which he belongs, to t<
nud I find it the same throughout the I. >
country. I have frequently met with boy.s not
of 12 and I t with guns and game-bags, tram
starting at early dawn for tho woods, for "?
here they can shoot game wherever found. 25 II
War is argued against by every body as tars
something to be avoided, but tlio idea of! crnn
backing out to avoid it does not appear to tram
cuter the mind of nay body. Some of the of 01
papers speak of tlio President's message I ty i
disparagingly, but the peoplo are with liim,; curv
and I candidly believe lie would be elected 4,1
if the election eaino oil' to day. And I re- lions
gret I cannot defend my country at this ped
time as I would wish. The Buiwer Clay- time
ton treaty is plain und explicit, and these ^tali
people don't an I won't understand double
meanings in treaties. They say the man form
with the white hat does not refer to the atin<
individual in the white cap, and my Lord I
John Bussed acknowledges the American ( culm
interpretation. There a?o thousands of cicnl
men here that the Americans would be glad
lo get clear of, but that does not justify stati<
Kngland in breaking their laws by enlist- then
ing them; and my Lord l'nlmcrston's in- " I
stfuctious wcro something like telling n mor<
man to stab his neighbor but not hurt od, i<
him. 'II
If tlie treaty (Clayton and Bulwer) is ad- ohan
hered to,'wo Irnvo the States pledged never Te!oj
to occupy it (Central America,) for, say J?
what we will, they will slick lo the treaty four
and it wili never bo annexed; abrogate it, 2.
and in less than ten years it will bo one of each
the States'of the Union. The Canadians 1 poun
are a very loyal set and think they could , draw
take possscKsion of thoStatesat a moment's 3.
warning. They have caught the habit of contr
bragging from their neighbors without 4.
having the wherewith lo brag on. A trip diatn
up the lakes is tho most convincing proof; six l
we can have of tho diltercuco in tho two : pum|
people. In tho American are well finished cuhic
cities and towns, saw mills, railroads run- there
iiiug in every direction?in fact, you gel-! the n
d^m lose sight of the focomolivo?and , forty
{here are jipintucrablo steamers at every | *>
iDg. On the Canadian, where there
ottleuienls, you seethe well-kept,coiubie
dwellings, the smooth-eheMred
, and orerythiug wears an nircoinfurt,
ittle or juo busiuess, with the exception
0 groat railroad. However, they are
lly improving; but should there bo war,
argeet and best portions of Canada are
to us. Quebec, Halifax, and other
Is would bother them. But to sum !
ry own observations after every oppor- i
y that one man could have afforded
the result would be as follows: Mexico,
I, and tho wholo of Central America
d be nnnexed in the South, and I have
doubt of Canada, in the North; milof
trcasuie and thousands of valuable
lost to England forevor, our commerce
>led in every scu, and some fighting
will gladdou the hearts of our tried
ery.
ow, what can we gain? A foot of tery?
We don't want it; and if we did,*
eel for the majority of our brave fel,
1 fear, would bo the extent. Naval
lililary glory we don't want, and as for
taud beach of the Mosquito king it is
cided humbug. What would be the
It to this country! It would put her
c iu prosperity for half a century; it
id ruin thousands who arc now in afico,
but would enrich thousands who
now poor. But the great advantage
Americans have is that they can proj
and manufacture everything they
t; the different climate affords this,
y would get accustomed to their own
Is and discard ours forever. But the
itest injury to all parties, and I may
to the world, would bo the making of
nation of 25,000,000 a warlike people,
, once instilled with tho love of war,
propagandists of Europe would have a
fill ally. The last year's crop of wheat
licially given at 170,000,000 of bushels,
everything olso in proportion, so that
munot starvo tliein out; and, from my
1 observation, I would rather see Eng
i contending with the whole of Europe
) against this country. I am no croak
lor have I any doubt of the power and
Itli of my beloved country, and, if need
could again handle a musket for her
or and glory; but tho day that war is
larod between these two mighty rivals a
test will be commenced that will bring
'0 horrors in its train than the world
r yet witnessed.
'here is another item which I am like
>rget. Many of my countrymen place
it dependence on the abolitionist*, or
nds of freedom in this country; but I nss
you their greatest protection hero is
i insignilicnnce. They flourish as long
bought harmless but the slightest sus011
of their cullu-ion with a foreign foe,
they would bo annihilated; in fact, I
0 proved to my entire satisfaction that
?o teiriblo and exciting questions are
r intended for political effect; but attach
importance to llicm affecting the insts
of the country, and they are gone.
1 would, no doubt, be astonished to
r that many children of foreigners, and,
fact, foreigners themselves, are knowling*,
started to proscribe theui; but
i i? the fact. 1 hnvo extended my reks
further than 1 intended, but they
e one desirable feature?that is, truth,
uld they prove acceptable, 1 may again

tYitli this great speed, there are stai

isy as to apply the power in anv other

The plunger goes forward without cal

["lie actual cost of transportation is no

io following short statement of moicnl
facts respecting the Atmospheric
graph is given by the inventor.
The area of a two foot plunger is 1
hundred and fifty-two inches.
The pressure of one fourth pound on
inch is one hundred and thirteen
ds, and 113 pounds tractive force
s seven tons.
A two foot cylinder, forty miles long,
lins about C 10,000 cubic feet of air. j
One pump cylinder, twenty feet in eter,
and twenty feet long, contains
hoiisaml cubic feet. Two of these
[is, double acting, will exhaust 24,000 .
: feet of air nt every turn of tlio shaft; :
fore 27 turns of the same will exhaust j
umber of cubic toot contained in tlio ,

TAB NKWBBRRY MIRROR.
When the Newberry Mirror uiakw out agalMt
j Hpartan as clear a breach of political veracity
we haw ugaiust it, weal oli undertake a defence. I
>t before. Crv
We deny the Mirror's account of the origin of mm
j Convention inovemeut. As Cur back as August At
r editorial columns furuisL evidence that we bad wiJ
iniotis on the subject and avowed tlicin?and tin
nilar opinions were advanced by ibo hldgeftcld del
ivcrliscr, Winnoboro' Hegistvr, and other jour- art
Is. gr?
Wliy, tlie Mirror, on the subject of the couvcn- Th
u anterior to the appcorance of Col. Orr's letter pai
1 the legislative paper of the forty-eight, is as An.
J as the Mourn -its, who wished to blot from tha Co
itory of France the Napoleonic period, and tr<at of
t whole interregnum aa a blank in government, aft
mg before the .'ppeuroace of the Dudley letter sot
a discussion Lad besn decisive of representation wiJ
Cincinnati, uud it butsummad up ths urgumeuts
d gave a plan tw the movement. Kridsutly the
itor of the Mirror waa ignoruut of tiiese things, '
trusted such questions to the keeuer political
gaoity of Gen. Garlingtnu, who it was generally
ought done up the "big bunions" of lite ooiioeru.
As to the number of Districts which liave sent in
legates, we have only to say that 1.1 or 14 lutvc
me so, and that is pretty nearly one-half. One nn
nuld infsr from the Mirror's looac way of *|mnking oe
at the number was limited to a baker's half dozen 1*?
i '?
-or even less. oj
Wo feel greatly Haltered at the application to us of
the term'demagogue. Great men are often thus mi
signaled by those who would decry their inftuice,
and we must o'en submit to the classification. (),
pithut, however, is not argument?but its absence, m
