A fire was kindled beneath the cauld8>n, and the houso was shaken by tho efftrt'i of the steam ascending tho tube*. In 1343, Juno 17th, Blascod^>arav tried w steamboat of 309 tuns with tolerable snore**, nt Barcelona, Spain. It consisted of a Hhldrnu of "boiling watfcr, and a movable on encli side of the shin.

Hfn 1760 James Watt made the first per c-t steam engine in England. Jin 1778 Thomas l'.-iine tirst proposed tills mlicariop in America.

B In 1782 Kumsey propelled a boat by Beam at New York. fl In 1787 John Fitch, of Philadelphia, navBated a bout by a steam engine on the DelBvare Rtwr.

We have been requested to publish the ,bove brief history of the early efforts of team engine inventors, as being usefhl for iiture references by our readers. Wechcerullv do so with the necessary corrections to nake it truly historical. Hero's steam engine was like a Barker Water Wheel driven by steam?a rotary, t was revived 15 years ago in this State.? \. book was published in Leipsic in 1697, rhich describes a rotary steam engine like lero's. In 1015 Solomon De Caus, a French engineer, published a work describing th(T tower of steam to force water, but not by an ingine. r The claims of Blasco de Ouray are not utitled to much weight, as they were only irst given to the world in 1826, and said to ?e from an old manuscript discovered in the Archives at Simuucas, Spain. In 1028, Branca, an Italian mathematician propelled a wheel by a jet of steam from a boiler. Before Symington mode liis experiments, lio was engaged by Patrick Miller, of Dalrwinton, and made an engine to propel a boat for that gentleman, who published a [jhamplet on the subject in 1787. We wore not aware beforo that Thomas Paine was claimed us being a proposer of steam navigation. .totin Kiti'h nrnnelled a linst hv stpnni nn Collect Pond, in this city, about the date Ihpeeified. above. Wo nover read or heard Bof Runuwy doing so. The first permanently successful steam engine in the worid was that of Jamos Watt, nn 1709 ; and the first permanently successful steamboat, for which Watt built thecnr'ne, was that of Robert Fulton, in 1807, in ew York. A Deucatk Situation.?It is one of the disadvantages of the co-operation of tho English with the French troops in the East, that a sense of delicacy compels the British to veil the regimental devices which they 1 il . \ tf _ it .. 1 I'umtii in we great war in uio x'cmnsuiar and the Netherlands, lest.they should outrage the feelings of their gallant comrades. The Scots' Oroya are greater Butt'erera by their WaU*floodistinction than any other corps, for it lias caused them to bo kept back altoj^tether. They are liternlly covered with souvenifa of Waterloo, and must have altered their uniform entirely^ if they had been Bent to the East. A NfcW AND BEAUTIFUL TKEK IN OHEGON. ?Mr. Brooks, writing from Olympia, OreIfon, aaya : " A strange and beautiful tree ina lately been found here, which is from >ne. to seven feet high, with a leaf rescinding that of a near, and the trunk and ram Ik s alms* of the orange.

I S : Tiik Roston Post says that the folltwing took place in Jewilt city, Connecticut. About eight years ago, Uorace Ituy <l!ed there of consumption. Since then two of his sons havo died of the same disease, and another sop being sick with tho same disease, his friends, under the belief that the dead brothers were feeding on the living, went to the a graves on Uie dUi, dug them up, and burned r the corpses. This is an instance of supersti- j tion such as the missionaries tells us of 0 among "the heathen." r The above superstition is quite common in e Asia, and in many parts of Kurope. The n corpse is supposed to feed on tho living, and ii is called a vampire. This is one of those uni- o versal superstitions which are found in al- f, most every nation and eliinc. v Better Look to tiie Monet.?One of tho ? improbable stories respecting the fillibuster- 11 ing movements against Cuba is that the in- ? tended invaders have provided a military chest with a million of dollars, and that their ^ army is^to be commanded by an American 0 general. If tho tHiikusters have anything ' ke that *11111 of money at their command, 1 they had better see ?hat it is deposited in some secure place, for some of the men who " are eager to plunder an island would like 11 nothing bettor than a chance to dip into so 8 well-provided a money dliest J Disease among H0B8E8.?We learn thai j a disease is at present prevailing among tnj? ( Ijorsesoftho city and neighborhood, which 1* t attended with very great fatality. -It is a species of fever, vory violent in all the symptoms of iuflamatory attacks on the human system, and attacking all the principal vital organs, brain, lungs, intestines, <kc. Bleeding is said thus far to have been the only treat- ^ ment which has proved successful in some {lew cases. The loss to some stable keepers ^ ind others is reported to have been very c large. We hoard one represented to have lost *' forty horses by the disease.?N. O. Pica- fl yune, 31a/. I IIow willful is that judgment which shuts the door against Love, and ojjens it to his rival. The affections tap modesty, as always distrusting themselves, and fearing to ol>- j trude. But hypocrisy is never without pro- , tension, and we too frequently yield to audacity what is only due to prayer. Love j may be likened to the humble mendicant, j who looks his unworthiness while I10 en- j treats your bounty. It Is passion and selfishness only which, assuming his name, assail t you on the highway, with their "Stand and deliver 1 " claiming as their right the boon j which is only precious as a charity.?Eyeria. j Speaking of the R&bcn Gap Rail Road, the Anderson Gazette of the 31st ult. savs: From all quarters we receive the most cheoriilfr account-* nf t)>A nrAur,n,^D nf 1 T 0 ? *.?v |..

Journal of Commerce, under date of May 1, says that "one year ago potatoes were worth in that market 15 cents per pound, now only half a cent per pound. We note a sale of a large lot at Santa Cruz for the sum of fifty f dollars. Tho same lot, one year since, would 1 have brought between forty and fifty tliou- f sand dollars." Temfkraxce in Texas.?The last Legislature of Texas passed a special act giving to the voters within five miles of Marshall the right to prohibit the sale of spirituous or : vinous liquors, in any quantities, except for 11 medicinal purposes. The vote was taken on the low on the Oth inst., and resulted for pro- < hibition 136 ; for license 60. In August the vote is to be taken throughout the State on i the same question. < California.?Subjoined is an extract from a lAtor in New York from an intelligent person in the California gold region : uTuo writer has just returned from the northern mines, and can assure you that the ridiculous stories about the falling off in gold are without tire slightest foundation. They t are only beginning a development, a contin- j ued Renos of profitable workings, which must f give employment to ten times the present j number of miners for a century to come. The agricultural wealth of California is only t equalled by its mineral, and the comforts of j miners here are far better than they are in ? the coal regions of Pennsylvania.

A Rktubhed Slate,?Sometime ago, Mr Robert Moore, of Dahlonega. Georpermitted one ot' hie sluvea, a man V .KM* P * ? iiajui. lunv years oi age, to accompany i friend of his to California. The genloman having recently died in tho last tamed State, the slave at once made irrangjements for returning hoine. Arriving at New York,lie was careful to avoid the clutches of the abolitionists, who, he justly fearod, would kidnap him and frustrate his designs. He was successful in eluding their nefarious tactics, and reached Baltimore on Saturday. He immediately sought a magistrate in that city, who he mduccd to accompany himto Washington, for the purpose of conferring with the Hon. A. H. Stephens, a friend i of his master. The result is, that last night this gentleman, who hod previously designed to make a brief visit to Georgia, and who was on the eve of ncj;i? hub, mn mo city, talcing with j him the slave for his earnestly sought i home in the south. This is a nut for mawkish philanthropists to crack. ' [ Washington Sentinel. Tiie Fikst ami last Duel in Illinois.?Ford's "History of Illinois," recently published at Chicago gives the following reminisence: Tlie year 1820 was signalized by the first and last duel whicn was ever fought in Illinois. This took place in Belleville, St. Clair county, between Alphonso Stewart and William Ben net, two obscure men. The seconds had made it up to be a sham duel, to throw ridicule upon 1 Jennet, the challenging party. Stewart was in the secret., but Bennet, his adversary was left to believe it a reality. They were to fight with rifles. The guns were loaded with blank cartriges; but Bennet, somewhat suspecting a trick, rolled a ball into his gun, without the knowledge of the seconds. The word was given to lire, and Stewart fell mortally wounded. Bennet made his escape; but two years afterwards he was arrested in Arkansas, brought back to the State, indicted, tried, ana convicted of murder. A great effort was made to procure his pardon but Gov. Bond would yield to no entreaties in his favor, and Bennet suffered the penalty of the law by hanging in the presence of a great multitude of people. This was the first and last duel ever fought, in the State by any of its citizens. The hanging of Bennet made duelling discreditable and unpopular, and laid the foundation for that abhorrence of the practice wmcti nas ever since been felt by the pcoplo of Illinois. Scarcity in Florida.?The Wakulla (New Port) Times, says that it tloos not know when provisions have been so source in Middle Florida as at present. Corn, bacon, flour, *fcc., ordered from New Orleans, are not received because there are not vessels enough in the trade to supply the unusual demand. On a recent arrival of a vessel, many ... A. l i? ' woguiiB iruin a long distance m the country wore obliged to return empty ?and what is worse, with the prospect of finding an empty corn crib and smoke house when they got home. The Times adds, that so far as heard from the prospect for the growing corn crop in Middle Florida is cheering. The number of contributing members of the Order of the Sons of Temperance, of Virginia is said to be 10,740. COME ONE! COME ALL! BAPTIST FEMALE COLLEGE. THE CITIZENS of tllo Town nml Pistrift of Orecnville are earnestly requested to attend the Mooting in the Court-llouoo on Monday, the 12th inxt?, and give their nid in considering And devising the host mean* for scouring tho establishment of tho Baptist Female College at Greenville.
