DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1874. A SEURO I9IVKKTOIPII ESD. HE CONSTRUCTS A WONDERFUL MACHINE AND BECOMES THE VICTIM OF HIS OWN INOfcNU- Fr&uktlu (Ky ) Patriot.] We referred, a few weeks ago, to an invention called “perpetual motion,” con structed l>y «n old negr j who lives three miles west of this place. It is a wagon so arranged that after being set in motion it rims itself, by virtue of the fact that the weight of gravitation is thrown forward of the center of motion, and, consequently, the machine is compelled to rnu. It has boen the intention of the invent or to havo his wagon at the fair on the l>th of September, so that it» value may be tested publicly in presence of the thousands of people who will be present; and we learn from one of our best me chanics that last Wednesday—the same day of the circus—the old negro mounted the machine, adjusted the bands, tipped the balauce weight over the center ot mo tion, gave the driving-wheel a shove, and started to Franklin, to report to John B. Montague, secretary of the association, aud have his machiue regularly entered on the books. About one mile this side of the old ne gro’s home there is a noted poiut called “Red Pond,” immediately at tbfe forks of the Gross Plains and Springfield roads ; and here, unfortunately, an accident oc curred which we fear will cause a disap pointment to many inventors who were coining to our Fair for the purpose of ex amining this wonderful invention. The machine was humming along the smooth, sandy road at about fifteeu miles an hour, nnd tho happy inventoT was on deck, feel ing as proud as Fulton on board his first steamboat, when, iu making the turn just near the margin of the red pond, the starboard front wheel collided with a heavy set post-oak sapling, and the re bound was so powerful that the old negro was thrown forward over the dasbbourd, aud was at the same time struck by the flange of tho driviug-wheel, which pre cipitated his speed so much that, when his bend struck the fence panel on the opposite side of the road, he was so badly smashed that his death must havo taken place immediately. Coroner Hartfield’s inqnest was uncer tain as to whether he had been killed by u sudden stroke of the driving-wheel or by a too hasty collision with a panel of the fence. The machine, after this acci dent, struck out with freedom, and, pass ing the residence of Capt. Lee, soon mode its woy across in the direction of Bois- seau’s meadow, but was arrested in its progress by a large log, which tilted the balace-weight bock of tho center of mo tion, and the wild wagon was stunding gently at rest when overtaken by the cor oner and his party, who were following along to take care of the killed and wounded. Since the tragie death of the inventor, no man has dared to mount the fiery, un tamed steed, but our informant assures us that it will bo on exhibition at tho fair grounds, and wo invito the attention of inventors and machinists to its peculiar mechanism. We will not vouch for any man's life who mounts it and sots it in motion in a timbered locality, but it can bo managed safely on the half-mile truck on the fair grounds, aud will be put to its best speed, if any man can be found who is competent to guide it.

In a letter still to bit seen, dated London, August 21, 1021, and directed to a worthy colonist of that settlement, the writer begins with saying: “We send you a shipment, one widow and eleven maids, for wives of the people of Virginia. There has boen special care iu tho choice of them, for there bath no one of them been received but upon gold recommendations. In case they cannot bo presently married we desire that they may be put with several householders that have wives until they can be provided with husbands.” But tho writer of this epistle had little reuson to fear that any of the “maidens fair” would bo left over. The archieves contain evidence to prove that these first cargoes of young ladies wore put up at auction and sold for one hundred and twenty pounds of tobacco each, and it was ordered that this debt should have precedence of all others. The solitary “mm wirlmv" went nlonff with the others. year will begin tho ttm day of October, 1874. The Rev. U. A. Kendrick will be associated with the *chool to teach Modern Languages and Belles-Lettres. > per cent. ‘one widow” went along with the others, for they could not be particular iu these days. Tho good minister of the colony no doubt had a busy time that day. Re did not mention any fees, nor did the bride grooms think of tendering any. All was joy and gladness; no storms ahead, no in quisitive clerk to stand und say, “Here’s the license, fork over that dollar.” Nothing of the sort. From some of these couples the first families of Virginia are descend ed. —Gen. Bradley T. Johnson writes to the Baltimore Gazette that Gov. Thomas Johnson, then a dolegate from Maryland, nominated George Washington in the Continental Congress as Commander-iu- Chief of tho Continental Army, and adds: “When Washington became President he pressed Gov. Johnson to become his Sec retary of State before he offered it to Mr. Jefferson, which great office Johnson de- . clino 1, and himself forwarded the letter from Washington to Jefferson offering him tho place. This correspondence was sent from i\ew York to Frederick by ex press, aud forwarded from the latter place to Mr. Jefferson in Virginia. After ward Washington appointed Johnson Jus tice of the Supreme Court of the United States, which place he also resigned after a few years’ service. I had the originals of some of theso papers and copies of others in my house at Frederick before the war. but it having boen occupied for some time as the headquarters of the Fed eral General-in-Chief, matters became confused, and these papers mislaid or de stroyed/ I have never been able to hear from them since.” Tuition In Literature reduced _ All Branches thoroughly taught.
