THE NEW MOTOR.
The Traction Engine or Road Steam*
cr’s Trail Through the Streets and
on the Whi e Bluff Road—Crowds of
Spectators—Satisfactory Results, &c
&C. y
As was .announced, the great invention
of the age, Thompson’s ‘Traction Engine’
nr 'Road Steamer, ‘ was gotten under a
good head of steam yesterday* meriting at
9 o'clock, ami run from the Empire Stearin
ship Company’s wharf up the hill and
and through ilto streets. As aoot\ as a
sufficient quantity of steam was raised to
venture the ascent, after rnnuing up and
down the wharf a few times to get the ma
chinery in good working order, it com
menced ascending the steep grade lending
fiom the wharf to Bay street and moved up
with apparently much ease.
Some persons had expressed the opinion
that in going up bill, if the steam should
not prove sufficient to carry it to the top,
j and it should stop short of the level ground,
|it could not'be kept stationary, but. would
roll back down the hill,' ani p »*s'bly into
the river, before the driver could ch-ck it.
These remarks were heard by the driver,
who-is the machinist who brought the en -
gine here, and after running with perfect
ease rrn»?l breached the middle of the
grade, he stopped his engine, and g*zSd
quietly arouud ijt the astonished crowd.
When be Thought Uiey ought it be Satis
fied with this proof mistake, he
steamed on up to ttte top of the hill.
Reaching life level ground on Bay street
he stepped agaio, until he could s*e hfs way
perfectly clear, and then ran his machine
{•leisurely up the street, crowds of men and
f boys following on, looking upon this truly
! wonderful combination of machinery in as
! touisliment, as' it m»wd upnii the street,
, puffing and j "!ting along over the rough
Stones, looking like • huge steam fire en
» gine getting along to a fire on its own hook,
independent of horses.

ing with as much tarn*, and in‘corn partitives
ly as little space as a phaeton arid pair of
horses, around the Post Office corner fu
Bull street, and on round Johnson's Square,
through mud puddles, and back into Bay
street, where a rriore short runs were
made over the wood and stone pavetrent.
It was then determined to make a trip
over the White Bluff road, and <ov that pnr
pose the engine was run into
street, where an oid ommbusa waa attach*
ed, and a party, determined to see .muj
thing out, took their seats,
soon filled with 09 tunny as could get in,
and all being ready the engine started
slowly out Drayton, one of the sandiest
attests irr trie city. It. made several stop
pages before reaching the Park; .occasion'
ed by the want of steam at the start, and
the fOQt that it <fras difficult to keep up a
good head of steam with the material at
hand, and also 011 account of th*» newness
of the machineiy, not having bad sufficient
attrition to. tender all parts perfectly
smooth in their operation hpoff each other.
VVe % did not accompany those who rode
out on this test occasion, but from ali ac*
counts the machine w:»a pronounced a suc
cess. After going about four or five miles
over the White Bluff road they returned to
the city. The engine rhn down Bay street
once more, aud went to the Central Kail
road depot.
A great many of our citizens, among
them a number of first-class machinists,
witnessed the performance of the Traction
Engine, and ' the opinion universally ex
pressed was in its favor. Upon its intro
duction into the country, mar.y
not yet apprehended, will very probably
appear, but these will be remedied as
speedily as pn-sibh;, and such alterations
ahd improvements will be uv*de as the ne
cessities of the case ivijuirc. A certain
point has been gained and there will be no
retrograde, rii ive nent. The trii'to of tljo
age is onward, and we may say that -the
Traction Engine,as a motive power, is sure.

A Medium in a Fix.
Home, the great spiritualist, has come to
grief in St. Petersburg. It -appears that
at a seance held on the 22J of March a
com in it me oT the professors of the Uni
versity provided a table in iIo of plate
glass, vh lea white sheet was spread on
the door, so that the light from two can*,
dies p ace l on the glass surface brilliantly
ituaiined all the space beneath, and the feet
of those who were seated could be Been by
all present. Fifteen or iWef/ty niinntes af
icr the beginning of the seance Mr. Home
icmarKed a visible oscillation of the table,
which aff-cted the flame of the candles
Standing on it. ‘One of the committee ex*
plained this by the trembling of the hands
on the table, and it soon ceased. Next Mr.
Home declared that lie felt a peculiar cur
rent in the air which he took as a precur
ser of coming phenomena : but closing an
open pipe put a stop to that. Mr. Home
declared then that he heard some light raps
on the table, but no one else was able to hear
th-iu. The committee remained at the ta
ble from half-past nine until twenty mi
notes past eleven without any ot those
manifestations appearing, which, it is said,
are usually produced at sittings of this
kind. The next evening, at a second
meeting, Mr. Home failed as befoic, and
after making furth *r appointments, which
he did not k**ep, he left f<e Loudon on the
tfß.li, completely discomforted.

A 'Sensati nal Story.— The New Or
laans Picayune, of Sunday, tells a story
that smackswery strongly of the ultra Sen
national. Il it is about a hunchback of
huge proportions, who made his appears
ance in that city. A few days since the
neighbors missed him from hi£ accustom
ed haunts, aud went into the house to
search for him. We let the Picayune fin
ish the story. It says :
Sure enough he was dead. lie lay pal
lid arid Stark on a pallet of straw. There
Weie a few Scatteied chairs around the
room and a plain table. Only one object
arrested tfie eye : near. the body w«* a.
rich casket, set in mother of pearls and
gold. Jewels flashed from the costly lid,
auij wivatl;ed in the dust of diamonds-were
engraved the‘Lilies of France 1 in a coro
net of gold. They opened the box and
there flashed on their eyes the Bourbon di
adem. It was stolen the night of the 16th
of August, 1830, when Charles the Tenth
abdicated the throne of France in favor of
the Duke ot Bordeaux. Underneath it
vv:is a manuscript, written in French. It
contained only these words : ( ..
•I am Ciiaretto, the Tendean General.
Maria of Savoy was to have been my wife.
She was taken from me and given to the
Comte d‘Artois. 1 could have forgiven
ibis, but he desired me when most I heeded
his help and assistance. I revenged my
self and procured his overthrow, and am
happy since he died in exile.'

A Touching Incident. —Within- the past
week aii aged and worthy woman—once
the property of the mother of Captain
Lewis Kenan, and his nurse throughout in*
fancy—came to our citv alone and over
three hundred miles of travel, with no
other object t.han to fook at his grave and
sympathise with her old .mistress .jn file
deep distress of the family 1 Her feelings
were those of a mother }■ and when’ the
poor, sorrowing soul gazed upon the nar
row, bounds which holds all that, is moral of
him she had tended and cared for as her
own, there is little doubt she shared much
of the sad bereavement of the real parent.
Such instances of devoted attachment aud
unostentatious gratitude arc few, even
amongst the highest grades of society—il
lustrating as it does those ties which sub
sisted in the relation of Southern masters
and their slaves—making it a mutual joy
and a lasting benefit to both alike.
The woman here alluded to is Dicy, well
and kindly remembered by many citizens
of Milledgeville —born and owned in the
family of the.fate Col. Robert VV. Alston,
and who has never lived under any protec

the war, in the service of onq. of for**

swerving" friend and assistant, as she bad
ffeeu the dutiful, faithful ar.d trusted ser*

gratified, she has gone back to her home,
where, we hope, her days may be profopg
ed, and their termination crowned with
the assurance of a happy hereafter.

Upon the question of the Liberian con
stitution, the Presidential term was limited
to two years, but at the last Presidential
election, an amendment was proposed by
which the term was to be dodbled. Neith
er candidate, however, interested himself
in the amendment, and the result was that
the vote cast for it was tneiefy nominal.
President Roye, the successful condidatc
(present incumbent) took chargp pf the
ballots, for a«d againts the amendment
and declared himself elected for four jears.
The legislature denied his right to Count
the vote, alleging that it was a legislative
function which he usurped) and on the 3d
of last mouth an election was held for a
President io enter upon the duties of, his
office in next December, despite the pros
test of President Roye, who claimed that
his term would not exoire until 1872. The

Masonry.—lu many respects, Masonry is
a marvel to the world. It has lived with
ages and been a traveller with time. It
has seen the rise of kingdoms and empires
and looked .dowo on their ruins. It has
passed through all the revolutions that have
convulsed the world, unscathed ip a single
vital part, or unshorn of one beam of mor
