May 30 604 Admr Thomasville, Georgia, ‘Wednesday, June 13, 1566, A Pneumatic Despatch. From the Louisville Journal.] The Lontljn Times gives an account of a ceremony which recent y took place in the British metropolis of much -ciantific and public interest. This was the opening of the first portion of the pneumatic tube which is to con neet the General Post Office with the tern inns of the Northwestern railway, through which postal matter is to be sent, and which is destined, it the ex pectation formed be realized to open up anew system of communication throughout n t, only the Lnglish tne trop li- hut all the great of Eu o, e nd America. It is a sgn that the world is ti l moving., Uc have condense . an 1 arranged the long and grup ie account the Times gives of the winde allair tor the information of the readers f the J urnal, and doubt not the will be as much interest., dinit as we have been. A short line was laid down experi mentally at Battersea, two or three years ago, and afterwards transferred to seymour street, where it has been and is m w doing duity in the convey ance of mails between Eustoh square station and the North we-’ tern district post office in Evershoult street. A short passenger line on the same prin ciple was also constructed at the Crys tal Palace. The present, however, is the fitst practical application of the process on anything like a’large scale, and file results are ceriainly enconr aging; The distance from Euston to Holhorn is exactly one mile and three quiters ; the second portion of the line, running on at right angles to the general post office, will be an addition al mil. in length, and of this further portion one-hall has been laid ; so that the completion of the Company’s uii dertaking may be looked for at no dis tant day. The opportunity affordid of seeing the line in actual working order drew together a number of gen tlemen whose names a r e familiar in the scientific and commercial, world. Looked at from the street, one would never imagine that the interior of the premises eonta ns so much that is well worth seeing. . Entering Irom the lev el of Ilolborn, the visitor passes along a corridor through a doorway, and emerges upon a gallery of considerable size, from which he looks down on a brick fl- or, supporting lines of rails, much as he might do 1’ ora a railway f lu-tform down on the lino, but from a greater elevation Underneath tbe c rridur by which he has just entered he secs some'mechanical appliances, suggestive partly of an engine-room, and partly of a pointsman’s gallery outside a railway station ; and below the level, a.ain, on which the white jacketed engineer in charge is stand ing, and supporting the pi tform on which both he and these mechanical appliances rest, are a c.tuple of open ings, looking like black polished mod ern chimney pieces ‘-ith the grates withdrawn These are the mouths if the pneumatic tubes, one of which communicates with the Noith West ern Railway; the other, idle at pres ent, will soon ho drawing in and Geliv ering supplies from and to the postal headquarters in London. The hour appointed for the expert ment to begin was half-past 1 o’clock, and shortly after the hour, a sudden snip, and a sighing, rushing sound like that which often heralds the be ginning of n storm, announced that ih_> machinery was set in motiou — T he snapping sound pioved on exami nation to have proceeded from the closing of iron doors a little way with in the shadow of what has been cm pared to a fi'e-place, and three doors met, not evenly, but an angle bke that of a broad arrow, the point, projecting outward, so as to rc-ist the atmospher ic pressure. Pome minutes passed be tote au\thing further was visible or audible; for, though with a moderate amount of pressure, the pneumatic train is poopelled at a speed of twenty live miles an hour, !rom seven to eight minutes are required lor the transit from Eu*ton Square to Holbjrn. At last the close attentiou bestowed by the engineer upon his various signals and guages were rewarded by a tele graphic tinkling, indicative ot the fact that the greater portion of the journey had been accompli-hed. A second and third signal followed at no great intervals, and almost imme diately upon the last of these the door flew open, as doors used to do in the days interior to the French Revolution, when uionarehs or great personages were about to appear, and in rolled sol emnly four dwar6.-h iron wagons, weighing with their contents sone ten tons in the aggregate. The manner in which these doors open, as if by magic, to admit the ttring of carriages coming appatently from the bowels of the earth, is one of the most interest ing features in the entire process.— To render it intelligible, it must be premised that the air in the tube is alternate ly exhaustei and condensed, according to the direction ui which the train is going, and that the shaft com municating with the stationary engine which generates tbe blast, or causes the suction, enters the tube about lUO feet from its mouth. There is, there fore, a body—technically speaking, a ‘•cushion’’ —of air, 100 leet in length, behind the draught pipe, which ren ders material service in arresting the progress ot the advancing tram, and which would, in fact, bring it to a dead stop within the tube if the doors were suffered to remain closed. A spring-lever, however, underlies the tails at a short distance up the tube, and this, when pressed by the weight of the train, withdraws the bolt that keeps the doors in their places, mid suffers them to be blown open. Al though, however, they fly apart with a violence that is really alarming, they create no sound and sustain uo injury themselves, owing to the fact when fully open they are received in to air chambers. Air, ther fore, in one and the same movement, is made to exhibit the force ot a giant and the softness of a glove. As regards the carriages, it cannot be truth tu Ily said that they are ornamental in tneir char acter. In shape they are like a capi al D turned oteron bsstrrit side and mounted upon wheels; either end ot the carriage lias a raise ! hood or flan .', shaped so as to correspond with tiie interior of the tube, the diinen-io is of which are four feet in height by four feet six inches in width. Yesterday they were laden, or ballasted, with shingles filled into sacks, but their ordinary freight is expected to be, in the first instance,- letter bags, then probably railway parcels, certain de scriptions of. market -produce, and ul timately, it may be, general merchan dise. After the train'had made some successful passages to and fro several of the party'expressed a strong desiie to pass through the tube themselves. They were waned that the line was ‘‘not constructed with a view to pas senger traffic,” and they would find the way ‘‘a little rough.” The spirit oi adventure, however, is high in the heart even of the middle aged En glisi man, and each of the wagons had soon as many occupants it could comfortably accommodate in the re cumbent posture enforced by circum stances. Tarpaulin coverings were obtained for one or two of the carriages, but the greater number of the excur s"u nists had to get themselves in as best they could an ong the bags of shingles, taking care to keep their heads well he ow rhe edge cf the car riages, lest, as an American gentleman preseut was credited with say in •, ‘‘they might get their hair brushed by. machinery.” The first sensation at starling, ail'd .still mere so upon arriv ing, was c rtainly not : greable. For about a quarter of a minute in each case there was a pressure upon the ears suggestive of diving-bell experi ence, a suction like- that with which one is dr’ wn under a wave, and a cold draught ol'wind upon his eyes, having almost the effect of Filing Water; but once fairly within the tube these sen sations were got rd of, or left, behind, and the motion had little more posi-. tive discomfort about it than would he attendant on riding on a “lorry” over the worst ballasted line in En gland, It was a curious sensation to be flying along through the earth, feet foremost, in utter darkness, for the lest part of ten minutes, which, in sutdi a place, seemed half in hour, knowing that to the right and left ot you there were gas-pipes, water-pipes, drains, cellar*, roots of trees, and all the intricate fibres of the London sub soilway; that neater again to you was an arch which you might touch at your peril, and that all of these you could see absolutely t othing The conven tional horrors of rats troubled one lit tle, seeming out of place beside this lat st effort of human invent on or au dacity. Rut one reminiscence connect ed with an earlier stage in the history of this very pneumatic dispatch did certainly prisent itself at awkward moments,. The incident was as follows: Various experiments having been tried with the tube and its power of suction, one of the officials at last determined to see what would happen in case the train stuck fast us any point on its journey. A carriage wjis accordingly “scotched,’’ or fastened in sue! a way that it could not move, ai.d then the power of the engine was exerted to the utmost. The carriage in question was intendded for passengers and furnish ed accordingly. 1 y and by one of the cushions, the others, and finally all the movab’es which the carriage con tained, were whirled through the tube and delivered at the other end, the force exerted being such that nails keeping down the carpet were extract ed. As the only “movables” yester day were human bodies, the moral of the story was not pleasant to draw; and at sharp corner-, which did present themselves at intervals, one recalled the popular heresies about “the grace fully winding curves of English roads” contrasted with “the hideously staight and dusty avenues of France.” The air within the tube was by no means fovl or disagreeable ; here and there a strong flavor of rust was encountered, but this was explained by the fact, that, aa|the tube had to be laid in length” through various soils, and encountered in the process a large share of unfavorable weather, the corrosion on the surface ol the iron could not be expected wholly to dis appear untill cleaied away by the fric tion of constantly passing and repass ing trains. On the arrival of the ex cursionists at the upper or Euston square extremity of the line, they quitted their places tor a few moments to inspect the smaller tube, which communicates with the Eversholt street district post-office, and then returned by tbe way that they had come to Ilolborn. No doubt remain ed on the mind of any person who made the double transit as to the facil ities which the system, if a sufficient number of stati >ns can be incorporated . with it, is calculated to afford, net only to the postal service, but to the requirements of the general public.— The sejn me of the company, who, it seems, possess under their act powers to lay down pneumatic tubes at any pouts within the jurisdiction of the .Metropolitan Board of Works, is to const met similar lines between the 10 district post-offices and the general | pust-offiee, and between the different railway terminations and goods depots it. London, connecting with these lines the six principal London markets and other important points. For these purposes it is calculated that some 35 miles of tubing and a capital of <£l, _SO 000 would be required, tbe cost par mile roughly estimated being-from ‘ £30,000 to £35,000.. The expendi ture of the company hitherto has been probably £150,000, which would be largely in excess of this supposed aver age, but the sum mentioned includes the cost of preliminary experiments and also of sco ring for two Acts” of Paaliament. The company expect that great profits will eventually accrue to them from tho carriage of g. ods, the prime cost of which according to their system, would not exceed Id per ton per mile in London, while every merchant knows that he 1 as to pay Is, or perhaps Is 3d, tor the same weight and distance. On the other hand, however, it must be borne in mind that the interest upon.the heavy preliminary outlay cannot be lost sight. of by the company in regulating their tariff of charges; and, further, that the merchant can send bis goods where lie pleases at present rates, whereas the company can only deposit them at certain wclldefined stations in the post-. al subsidy which the company enjoy , or will hereafter enjoy, they have one great element, of fctror.gth. It they succeed, in relieving tha leading'thor oughfares to any appreciable extent from their present glut of traffic they will not'only reap the reward of’their spirited enterprise,■ but • will- entitle themselves to the gratitude of the public. ‘ ‘ AN EBSTO.I IN HEAVEN.’ Under th i above caption an exchange • gives a long obituary notice of a deceas ed brother editor, from which vre have room only to extract the closing para graph: “Should we not then rejoice that our late friend of the scissors and quill is in heaven? In that paradise the cry of‘more copy'will never again fall up on his distracted ears. There his en joyments will no more be interruped by the growls of the unreasonable sub scriber, or the duns of the paper-ma ker There he will enjoy entiie free dom from the detractions and misre presentations of political opponents, and the carcasses of ambitious political aspirants. In that blest abode he is no more to be troubled with illegible man uscrij t or abominable poetry. No rival j editors will there sted bis thunder, or ; his items and typographical errors I shall know him no more forever.’* A Boy Struck Blind for Blas phemy.— The vengeance of the Al- ! mighty was visited on a youth named Richards on Sunday -in the most awful and sudden manner. It appears that the lad, who is about thirteen years of’ age., and the son of parents in very humble circumstances, was playing in the street with four or five other lads of ab ut hisown age, at’ fciat and dog’— Richards and his companions had been playing lor some time, when a dispute, arose between them as to the number <’f ‘notches’ (or jumps) Richards had scored. lie declared that ho had made more than twenty and his opponents protested that lie had not scored mo many. High words arid bad language were freely used on both sides. Each bey accused the other of falsehood, and at length Richards, failing to convince his compaions of the truthfulness of his statement, fi-.w into a violent rage and emphatically shouted Alay God strike me blind if I haven’t made more than twenty.* He had scarcely uttered the adjuration before be let the‘dog’ fall out of his hands, and, throwing up his arms, exclaimed, ‘Oh, dear, I can’tsee. His companions ran to him, and find ing what lie said was true, at his request led him home, where, on exaun ination, it was found that a thick film had over.-pread each of his eyes. In this miserable condition the unhappy youth has remained ever since, and we are informed that there is a little or no prospect of bis sight being restored.— Brighton {England) Observer. “I’ll Call Around and Pay.”— A world of woe, (exclaims a cotempo rary who perhaps keenly felt wht he was saying,) is contained in these few words to the poor artisan and me chanic! “I’ll call around and pay,” says the rich inan, to Avoid the trouble of going to the desk to get the neces sary funds, and the poor mechanic is obliged to go home to disappoint his workmen, and all who depend upon him for their due. It is an easy mat ter to work ; the only real glory in this : life is an independent idea of being 1 VOL. YI.-No. 24. I able to sustain yourself by the labor of your own hands, and it may be c:. sily imagined what crushing force tier, is in, ‘‘l'll call around and pay,” to tin laboring man who depends on tha; pay for subsistence. It thoso who could pay would pay at once, it wouk plate hundreds and thousands in n condition to do likewise and would prevent much misery and distress. MAKE VOlll HOME BEAL'XI’ ECL. Property is worth more in a beautiful, well-shaded village, than on a bleak sunburnt, unsightly plain, lie who ha , no respect for the appearcncc of hi own premises, not only sinks the valu of his own property but also sinks th value of the property of his neigbois .No one likes to live in the sight of ugh ness. On the other hand, be wb ■ makes his own home attractive, eoi tributes to the rising value oi’ all th regb n around him. lie is thus a pul lie benefactor, contributing not mere! to the gratification of the taste of thos who look upon his improvements, bu adding to the real marketable value c. the property in his vicinity. Do not think that we are hero urg ing expense upon these who are ill able to afford it. No man is so poor but that he can have a flowering shrub i: his yard. No man is so pooi hut that, lie can plant a few trees before his dwelling. No man is so poor that he must liave his pig-stye at his front door. We only contend that every man should exercise that taste which God has given to every man. And though we may not be able to vie with the rich in the grandeur of our dwell ings, the lowest cottage may be embell ished with loveliness, and the hand of industry and of neatness may make it a home, full of attractions. Let there once be formed in the heart of a roan an -appreciation of the beautiful, and the work is done. Year after year, with no additional expense, the scene around him will be assuming new as pects, of beauty. Say not, I am hot the owner of bou-e or lands, and therefore I have nothingto do-. All are but tenants-at will. We arc all soon to leave, to re turn no more. • Wherever you dwell, even if it be in your own hired house but ore short year, be sure and leave ycur impress behind you —be sure and leave some memorial that you have been there. The benevolent man. will love to. plant a tree, beneath whose shade the children of strangers are to play. It does the heart good to sow the seed, when it is known that other lips than yours shall eat tho fruit. Neither think that this is a question without its moral issue. The love of home is one of the sirest safeguards of human virtue, and he who makes homo so pleasant that his children love it, that in all the wanderings of subse quent life they turn to it with delight, does very much to guide their steps away from all the haunts of disipation, and to form in them a taste lor those joys which are most ennobling. A Million of Men Under Arms. —-Late intelligence from Europe an nounces that a million of men are un der arms, and that war is certain. The estimate cf forces is a moderate one. Prussia, Austria and Italy have at least a million of men upon a war footing, and Lavaria, Saxony, Hanover and Wurtcmburg are mustering for the terrible conflict, nor can we suppose that France and Kussia will remain idle spectators. Indeed, the speech made by Louis Napoleon at Auxcrre has caused a panic in every money market in Europe, and increased tho rate of interest of the Bank of England to ten per cent. That speech reveals the correctness of a surmise we ex pressed in a previous issue, that there was an understanding between Napo leon and Italy. The persistent refusal of the Italian and Prussian govern ments to accede to the Austrian over tures of disarmament and peaceful negotiations, indicated most plainly a “Power behind the Tlmme” which was resolved upon war. .
