iYtw and impuitani Invention—Among the ma
ny useful and scientific discoveries of 1 he day. we
are called upon to notice particularly, ope wincb
is said to be of inestimable value and importance.
Mr.J. C. P. Salomon, of Pennsylvania, obtai
ned a few days ago. letters patent from the U. S,
for a Safety Steam I’uiler, -4 constructed that it
would seem almost impossible that any degree of
pressure upon it could produce its explosion.—
The philanthropist will receive the glad tidings
of this invention as the dawn of a hotter day for
the navigator and •iierchatu. and, contemplating
the saving of Immau life mid limb from destruc
tion by the application of this ingenious inven
tion, will hail the inventor as a public benefac
tor. Every scientific man who lias seen the mo
del, we tire told, pronounces it unequalled in im
portance. We insert an extract of a letter on the
subject of the Safety-Hoiler. written to Mr. Sal
omon. by oue too, to whom the public is indebt
ed for several valuable inventions in other bran
ches of machinery.
••Dear sir: I have taken the liberty to ad
dress you on the subject of your newly iuveuted
•Steam-Boiler, and I assure you the more 1 ex
amine the principle and ni ide of its construction,
the more confident I am in every sense of the
word that it is preferable to any 1 have ever
sceu before, and for strength and durability it
cannot be surpassed. It presents a grcatci sur- ,
fare for the fire to act upon, than the common !
cylinder boiler, and of course loss fuel will be re
quired, and from the peculiar construction of the
'boiler, the heat will act witli double the advan
tage to wbal it would on a round cylinder boiler.
In short, 1 think when this priuriple of yours is
fairly tested it will appear better in practice
than in theory. Every inau of science wiM give
it the preference. The same weight of metal, 1
venture to say cannot be put in any othoi form
to contain as many cubic feet of water and have
ihe sum*' strength. It is my opinion that it will
be capable of resisting almost any pressure of
steam th.it cau be conceived of.”
Wo understand that the ingenious inventor
was uot permitted to take out his patent without
opposition, a claim for priority of invention hav
ing been ullcdged in behalf of another claimant.
Mr S ilomoii was. however, aide to prove an
earlier period of publication and the arbitrators,
tow horn tho matter in question was referred,
gave their award iu favor of him. This circum
stance is another evidence of the importance of
the inv-tifioti ; for.even the approval of a plan of
machinery by a man. of as much science and
skill as C«l. Humphreys, (the other compel
it or) would go far in recommending it to. atten
tion.
A fu" test will, we nro informed, soon he made
of this invention, and it is boldly predicted-ill it
the Safely Steam Boiler will prove itself, if uot
the first, one of the most valuable inventions of
the age.—Sat. Int.

- New Orleans, Nov. 10.
Wc are indebted to a friend, arrived last e-
vening, from Nacogdoches, for the latest infor
mation from Texas. He informs us that Gen.
Houston left San Filippo about the 2-d ultimo
with a considerable reinforcement of troops, to
join the Commander in Chief, Austin, near San
Antonio. Our informant also states, that he
met a company of 80 men from the neighbor
hood of Nacogdoches ; another of 33, and an
other of 25 from the same settlement; and the
company of about 60 which went front this
place, who were to be joined at Nacogdoches
by an additional corps—all of whom were in
high health and spirits, and marching on to San
Antonio. A fine cavalry company of 16 men,
from the neighborhood of Natchez, were also
met on their way. On the 25th ult. a letter
was received from Lahadie,istating that a lieut.
had captured a Mexican, from whom he learned
that there was a reinforcement of Mexicans, of
about 400, coming on to join Gen. Cos, whose
army consisted in all of about 1700 men.
CIRCULAR.
We have just received by the hands of Dr
Hoxey, a letter dated 19tb, from head quarters,
stating that a vigorous defence may be expec
ted from the enemy, an extract of which we
send out for your information.
To the Council of Safety, dye.
The army will take up the line of march to
morrow for the Salado, which is within live
miles of Bejar—there it will take up a secure
position, to await further reinforcements. It
is now fully ascertained that the citizens are
well affected to our cause. Since the taking of
La Bahia, the enemy has been busily engaged
in lortyfying San Antonio, by barricading the
streets, and planting cannon on the top of the
church, cutting down trees, and in every way
exerting themselves to make a vigorous de
fence. The army is in high spirits, and eager
to advance ; but at the same time not disposed
to act precipitately.
S. F. AUSTIN, commander in chief.
W. D. C. Hall, Adjt. and Inspec. Gen.
The council sends this out for your informa
tion, hoping you will lose no time in affording
to otir friends that reinforcement so earnestly
solicited, with all possible speed. Dr Hoxey
says Gen. Austin attempted a communication
to General Cos, and received for reply that he
could view us or treat us only as rebels.

S. Houston, secretary.
Dostscript. A letter just received from Ge
neral Austin, dated the 20th inst. informs us
that a division of the army had advanced and
taken up a position at Salado, within 5 miles
of San Antonio, in doing which they had conic
in contact with the advanced guard of the en
emy, who still continued in sight, on the hill
between our troops and San Antonio. Gen.
Austin continues to urge reinforcements to ha
sten as fast as possible.
San FELirrE de Austin, Oct. 24.
I take the liberty of enclosing a circular,
containing extracts of letters from Gen.* Aus
tin, from which you will learn that we will have
something to do in reducing San Antonio. The
forces of the enemy and that of the volunteers
arc about equal in number. Gen. Austin des
patched a communication to General do Cos,
by a Mexican, stating, that he was supporting
the principles of the constitution of 1824, and
inquiring how our flag would be received ? His
reply was, “ disband your forces, return home
peaceably, and then perhaps I will listen to
your petitions, at present I can only regard
yon os rebels and traitors.” We will teach
him that we have rights, independejit of a dic
tator or military power, and that his haughty
ft ply cannot influence Americans to Compro
mise their rights. Yours,
JOSEPH BRYAN.
Texas.—The New Orleans Union of the
lltli inst. says :—We learn from a gentleman
that has just arrived from Texas by land, that
the Texians had been able to surround Gen.
Coss and his small anny of 700 men, and that
all chance of escape was shut out from him.—
The Texians speak confidently of an easy
victory.
"TEXAS VOLUNTEERS.
A company of 30 or 40 volunteers, loft Co-'
Iunibus on Wednesday last, to join their friends
in Texas, in throwing off the despotism of
Santa Anna. They go to Montgomery on
foot, thence by water to Mobile, and afterward
as circumstances may direct. They are a
hardy set of boys, mostly young men, and will
be well able to endure the fatigue of the cam
paign.
We understand that a company from Ma
con are on their way, and will probably pass
through this plafe oil Saturday.—Col. Enq.
this district, and committees appointed to j
provide means and make collections lor the
purpose of enabling the inhabitants of Texas to
engage in a civil war with the Sovereignty of
Mexico, now at peace with the Unitec states.
(Signed) GIDEON TUCKER.”
In answering the foregoing inquiry, the
Court will confine itself to the iacts stated, and
the section of the law referred to. '1 lie inqui
ry is, whether meetings held in this district or
State, and committees appointed to provide
means and make collections for the purpose of
enabling the inhabitants of Texas to engage in
. a civil war with the Sovereignty of Mexico, is
| a violation of the section of law referred to.—
That section of the act is as follows :
“Sec.6.—And be it further enacted, that if
any person shall within the territory or juris
diction of the United States, begin, or set on
foot or provide, or prepare the means for any
military expedition or enterprise, to be carried
on from thence against the territories or domi
nions of any foreign .Prince or State, or ol any
colony, district or people, with whom the Uni
ted States are at peace, every person so offend
ing shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemea
nor, and shall be fined not exceeding 83,000,
and imprisoned not more than three years.”
This section applies only to military expedi
tions, and enterprises to be carried on from the
U. Sts. against any foreign power with which we
are at peace. “No person shall begin, or set
on foot, or provide or prepare the means for a-
ny military expedition or enterprise to be car
ried on from thence;” that is, from the United
States, or the territory within their jurisdiction.
Donations in money, or any thing else, to the
inhabitants of Texas, to enable them to engage
in a civil war with the Sovereignty of Mexico,
is in no sense beginning or setting on foot, or
providing the means for a military expedition
from the United States or their territory. The
answer, therefore, to the question put by the
Grand Jury is, that the facts stated do not am
ount to any offence under the sixth section of
the Act referred to.

Milledgeville, Nov. 21.
Both branches of the Legislature have been
occupied most of this week with the subject of
Rail Roads. The Senate with one from Ma-
con to Westpoint on the Chattahoochy; the
House with the Savannah and Macon Railroad
aud Banking Company. To both of these pro
jects there is great local opposition. Every e-
nemy of Savannah and Macon; every one in
terested in the Union Rail Road Company;
every one in favor of making Georgia tributa
ry to another State, is opposed to tliesc bilk
Sectional feeling has taken the place of par
ty politics ; nullifier and union man ate now
seldom heard of. Rail Roads and Banks and
corporations are all the go.
An animated debate took place in the House
on Thursday on the Savanna!) and Macon R.
Road and Banking Co. The question came
up on an amendment offered by Mr Mcrriwr-
tlier to the report of the committee of the whole
—the object of which was to prevent the com
pany from enjoying banking privileges until
after the completion of the Rail Road.
This called up Mr Gordon of Chatham, ag
ainst the amendment—the object of which was
Air G. said, to destroy tlie bill, and prevent
the construction of the Road.
Mr Merriwether rose in vindication of tlie
object of his amendment. He did uot wish to
kill the bill. He had no objection he said to
Savannah building a Rail Road on her own re
sources, but did not like to establish a bank un
der the name of a Rail Road—particularly of
a bank with suclt a large capital. What guar
anty’ had we that a rail road would ever be built
—we incorporate a company with heavy bank
ing privileges, aud of endless duration. He
spoke of the evils of banks, of the distress that
has resulted from their failure. P;tss this bid,
and who would not apply for a rail road, wltcn
they could so easily obtain with it a charter for
banking privileges. Would be proud to see
the work constructed, if it could be done con
sistently with the safety of the community—but
could never give his support to such a scheme
as the present.
Air Fleming of Liberty’ addressed the House
against the amendment, and in favor of the itill,
on its general merits. As yet, said Air F. little
had been done in Georgia for Internal Impro
vements. Our sister states were far ahead of
us in this business : it was time Georgia should
do something. This bill was not for the bene
fit of private and local interests—the whole
state was interested in the success of the expe
riment—tlie whole people from the seaboard to
the mountains, would be benefitted by this R.
Road. It would be tlie making of Savannah
and Macon, which would otherwise go down
It waS of vital importance not only’ to Savan
nah and the low country, but to the whole state.
It could not be built unless banking privileges
were granted;—no one would take the stock.
Another reason (Mr F. said,) why the bid
ought to pass, was to furnish banking capital 10
the citizens of Savannah. The branch of the
U. S. bank in that city’ was about closing >ts
business, and there would be a great deficient)
of bank capital. Tlie city of Charleston be
great advantages in this respect. Hcrba
