STA.--The chwn'es ;,ccouiplished
throughout the civilized world, by the dis
coverv .and application of stean to arts
'sciences and nattfactories, are so truly
wonderful, ais to be almost beyond belief.
In travel alone, this great agent has ef
rected the most astonishimg results. This
is fully apparent, even in connection with
ourown city. & its various avenues ofcom
muunicatiou north an-I south. For example,
we a day or two since mentioned the arri
val of a gentleman from Boston adistauce
-or320 miles in 22 hours! He trtvelled the
whole way either by steamboat or rail
road, and in both instances was propelled
by the agency of steam So with regard
-to the south; any one may step into the
Baltimore boat at 7 o'clock iii the morn
ing and be in Norfolk Va. before 7 the
iext morning. Indeed the trip has fi-e
quently been aceomplished in 22 hours,
'while passengers have been able to tarry
-an hour or so, at Baltimore.
Could our forefitthers, of the olden time
start up from their dust, ad contemplate
these %vonderful changes in travel and its
facilities, their surprise would he extraordi
nary indeed. Less than a century ago,
.the trip either between Philadelphia and
Boston, or Philadelphia and Norfolk,
could not have been accomplished by
the ordinary conveyances, in munch less
than s fortnight. But, if we turn our
eyes so the west, and especially to the
Mississippi river, the power of steam as an
-agent will be realized in a still more won
-drous manner. Now, hundreds of b-oats
with thousands of passengers,are constant
ly passing and repassing the turbid waters
'of the Father of Rivers. and touching at
points in the course of a few days, tiat in
*the olden time occupied weeks.nay no :ths
-io reach in an upward voyage And so
indeed, throughout the greater portion of
the world.
It is now said that Jerusalem may be
reached by an American Traveller, via
Bristol in the G-eat Western, Paris, M ar
seilles, and Joppa. in thirtv three days!
These are but few of the feats that may
be accomplished, so far a travel is cou
-cerned, and with cUm)at;ative care and
safety. And yet the history of the past
is calculated to make the impressiont that
the progress of steam and its utility are
-only in their infancy, and that a century
bence will unfold still more extraordina
ry' wonders. A late number ofthe Lou
do,, Quarterly Review, contains an article
upos the subject, in which many inter
eting facts are grouped together. "Ar
rangements ate in progress for.contituing
the British trade across the Isthiru of
Darien with steamers, which are to ply
-on the great Pacific oceao,hetween Valpa
raiso and Panama, a distance of about
2,500 miles. By this means, the voyage
round Cape Horn toLima, which has hith
erto occupied about four m..nths, will be
reduced to about thirty lays!" In the
31editerrauean, steam vessels are used by
Christians,Jews and Turks, while as-early
as 102M1, a steamer made four succes-ful
voyages between "Bombay and Suez.
The Irish sea, German Ocean, and the
British Channel, are traversed by steai
ers, while in the American rivers and lakes
there cannot be less than 1000 steamers in
operatton.
In reference to the last important enter
prise, as connected with steam, we mean
the establishment of packets between tihe
old and new worlds-the greatest trip otn
record was recently made hv the Great
Western. The distance betveen Bristol
and New York is 3150 geographic miles,
the whole of which was accomplished in
]3 days and 7 hours. In limtle more 'han
a fortnight, several British oflicers dined
in the oltd worl.t,at their barracks, in Wool.
wvich, bseyond Lotndon, and itn a pttblic hto
.tel in Baltimore-having in that brie.f
period, passed aeross the ocean, ands thro'
New York atnd Philadelphia' Thes Great
Western is 240 feet in length. Site has
two eugines of 225 horse power each.
Her cylinders are 73.3 inches in dliameter,
'nmd yet she is quite a smoall vessel whetn
compared with several others cotnst tuctetd,
or in process of constrttction. The British
Queen, for example, is believed to lie the
largest steatmer in the world. Iler length
of keel is 233 feet. E xtreme length 275
feet. Breadth of beam 40 feet. 'Inclu
ding guards 65 feet. Depth of hold 2^
feet. Tonnage 1,862 tons. Diameter of
cylinders, 774 inches; length of stroke 7
feet. Diameter of wheels 30 feet. Esti
mated weight of engines, boilers and wa
ter 500 totns; do0, of coals for 20 days' con
sutmptiotn 600 tons. Draught of wvater
wvithi the above weight 16 feet.
The Gorgon is the largest steam shtip
in the British navy. Shte is 1150 tons,
and carries 20 clays coal, and stores ror six
months. 11er service has beeni of the ex
peritmental kind, and the greatv't part of
the past winter she has been cruising in
the Bay of Biscay, and .o well satisfied
are, the British Govern menit of her rcapa
city to contenid with boisterotts weather,
that they are now construceting sonme five
or six others, one of whtich, the Cyclops

enpttes of the Gorgon, it shoutld he recol
lected are only of the same calibre anid
power as those of the Sirius of 700
tons, which preceeded the Great Wes
tern on her first trip to New York. If' the
Gorgon, which is 430 tons mtore Imurden
than the.Siris.performedt so well with the
same power in the stormy bay of Biscay.
during the winter, wvham may be expected
from larger vessels of corresponding en
ergies?
These are facts full of interest, and the
results already ascertained. have ttterly
annihilated the theory of Doctor Lardner.
That accidents will occasionally happen,
miust he exp~ectedl, at Ileast for many years
to come; ho' as imnprovemeints progress,
and as new discoveries are made, less ap
prehension will 1)e felt, and the system
which is now only itn its infancy, will
eventually bicomue as perfect as any htt
man system may be. So mtuch for steam,

OBITU.ARY.
Another Patriot of the Revolution gone.
-The venerable Colonel, William Alston
lied, in the city of Charleston on the 261
Ill. in tlhe 83d year of his age.
At the commencement of the Revolu
ion, he left College, and took the field as
a Volunteer, in defence of the liberties of
is country. Though he did not enter the
vegnluar Arny. he served at diflerent peri
as throughout the war. under the Parti
ran leaders, whose seivices and exploits

Souhb Carolina. tie was a Captamn under
Marion. anl was entrused by him with
he d hinee of a Fort in the harbour of
Georgetown, when that lo"-n was nena
eed by the rneny. Cl. Alston loved to
Iwell on the virtines and services tif Mari
nu, and was eud of relatinm an:ecdotes il
iluwtrative of his character. On the return
iarjeace. Col. Alston resumed the eniltiva
ion of his paternal estate on the Warea
maw, near Georgetown, which he pursued
withone interruption, until nithin a few
Years of his death. and with almost uinex
:amphled sne ess. Devoted to agricultural
pursuits, and the cares and duties of
ilonestie life, he avoided, as far as pos.
sih!e, all public employments. Being.
however. a personal and politics friend
Af Mr. Jeffer-on, lie was prevailed upon to
lelld the weight of his name and influence
to the party of which Mr.Jefferson was the
head. le accordingly served for several
years as a membter of the Senate of the
State, and was one of the Democratic e
lectors of the President and Vice Presi
dent, at the time of the nemorable contest
hetween Jefferson and Adams. lie soon
retired, however, from public life, and
fron that period devoted himselt'exclusive
Iy to his private affairs. It is as a Caroli
na Planier-a character identified with the
interests anIl honor, and best hopes of the
State-That Col. Alston was chiefly dis
tinguished. Whether we estimate his
claims to public consideration, by his extra
ordinary success, tle admirable treatnent
of his slaves, of a wise practical system of
economy and good management, Col.
Alton stood almost at the head of the class
to which he he longed. It is believed that
at the time of his death, he was. with per
h:aps a single exception, the largest slave
holder in South Carnlina-u. Comnencing
life witha coamparatively a small numbaher o'f
slaves, he went on steadily additng to huis
stock, until they luad multiplied many fid..
it was th'e opiniona of Col. Alston, that in,
t he maneement ofelav-es, thme true interest
rifahe Planter were in exac't accordatnce
with the dictates uofan enlightened htuman
ity. It was therefoare with him a rule thr'
life, to treat his slaves with the uttnosa lih
erality and kindness, while he taever urelux
ed the reians of a wholesome discipline.
H is rule was to pros ide thetm with diwel
linugs of the hest descript iotato clothe themt
in the very best manner, and to allow thiem
supplies of every kindr, on the moss liberal
scale. The consegnience wans, that htisor
aunmerouts plantations were modlelisof neat
ness & order,.& hi-sslaves always exlthitedl
an appearatnce of health & conmfort, wthich
spoke nell for their treatment. They
ere devotedly attached to their master,
whose service they wouthd not huave ex
-hanged for any other upon earth.
Cosl. Alston, however, was not one of
those speculative Philanthropists,wvho sac
tifice essential good to visinnary theories.
Hi-s system was based nu a eclat ion of
pra-tical results. It was noet his slaves only
whuo were to he tmtade prospaeronas anud hap.
py. If they wei'e amotng the best treated
in the State, his crops wrere always abtun
lant, andr his rice of the first quality barotnght
to the Charleston mnarket. "Col. Alston

the title ofa neefunl citizent. If ohe i.jusetly
