CHESS COLUMN.
Several of our chess-loving subscribers are
, crying to us for the solution of the Problem of
* Max Lange of Berlin, taken from the New York
Saturday Press, of 13th or 20th August last.—
L Won’t the truant chess-editor of the Saturday
* Press furnish it to us ?
Errata —ln the report of game. V., in our last
| number, page 141, two points (:) should have
> been placed after the 14th move of the whites,
which should read “Bishop e 3—b 6 : (11).”
* And note 16 of the same game should con
clude with the words three pieces instead of
“these pieces.”
j THE AUTOMATON CHESS PLAYER.
( We published in a former number, page 109,
a an account of the origin of the famous automa
ton. The following anecdote taken from the
J same work, shows how narrow an escape Wor
ousky, the irascible player and outlaw had, while
playing a game, as automaton, with his impe-
P rious sovereign.
“ The three friends (Osloff, Kempelen, and
J Worousky), were the more delighted as the in
, strument promised to furnish Worousky with a
mode of escape out of the Russian dominions,
' as well as to assure him a livelihood. That very
> evening their plans were arranged; and in or
der to arouse no suspicion, performances were
to be given in all the towns through which they
passed. These exhibitions were only too suc
v cessful, and the Empress Catharine, excited by
J the wonderful report of them, insisted upon
j, having the automaton at the palace. The un-
fortunate rebel, upon whose head she had set so
’ many rubles, was obliged to obey, although it
j took himself and caravan no less than fifteen
days to travel from Vitebsk to St. Petersburg;
and the match with the empress herself came
s off before the court.
* “ The skilful Mussulman captured a bishop
j and a knight, and the game was turning much
L to the disadvantage of the lady, when the Turk,
suddenly forgetting his dignified gravity, gave a
f violent blow on his cushion, and pushed back a
. piece liis adversary had just moved. Catharine
r IL had attempted to cheat; perhaps to try the
skill of the automaton, or for some other reason.
L At any rate, the haughty empress, unwilling to
confess her weakness, replaced the piece on the
j same square, and regarded the automaton with
I an air of imperious authority. The result was
most unexpected—the Turk upset all the pieces
? with a blow of his hand, and immediately the
. clock-work, which had been heard during the
r whole game, stopped. It seemed as if the ma
chinery had got out of repair. Pale and trem
l bling, M. de Kempelen, recognising in this Wo
rousky’s impetuous temper, awaited the issue
j of this conflict between the insurgent and his
I sovereign.
» ‘“Ah, ah, my good automaton, your manners
> are rather rough,’ the empress said, good-humor
edly, not sorry to see a game she had small
T chance of winning end thus. f Oh, you are a
famous player, I grant; but you were afraid of
L losing the game, and so prudently upset the
pieces. Well, lam now quite convinced ofyour
j skill and your violent character.’ ”
And thus poor Worousky, who had lost so
many limbs, managed at last to preserve his
i head. .

t NOTES.
A (1) Although the king’s bishop is one of the most val
uable pieces of the board, the player must not consent
. to save it by losing time.
■ (2) If the Blacks had not made this move they wonld
have given you time to occupy the centre with your
pawns.
(8) You might play Q d I—e 21, hut this move would
‘ allow the Blacks the opportunity of bringing out their
queen's bishop. Moreover, a player should always avoid
} placing his queen on the same line with his king when
this line is open and unoccupied by pawns ; for then the
i opposite player has often the opportunity of compelling
* the sacrifice of the queen for an inferior piece, by placing
the inferior pteco (rook or bishop) on the same line, and
j checking king, or queen.
* (4) The Blacks play this knight to enable them to
bring out their queen's bishop, or to rid themselves of
your king's bishop.
f (5) You push up this pawn, in order to break those
which cover the queeu of the Blacks.
(6) The Blacks having advanced the pawn of their
king's bishop two squares, you should now seek to post
one of your knights on c 5. It cannot be dislodged from
» this post unless it be taken by another piece; and then,
' you may unite your pawns at"the centre.
(7) The Blacks are unwilling to effect the union of your
j pawns by taking your knight They therefore retire.
■ (8) This move is necessary in order to prevent the
knight of the Blacks from coming to your king's third
square.
J (9) In this position, the advantage is on the side of the
Whites, because of the post occupied by the queen's
. knight Nevertheless, this advantage is not sufficient to
decide" the game. The Blacks should tike care not to
. capture the knight until they have taken one of the
9 pawns which support it. This they may do by exchang
' lng the pawn of their queen’s bishop for the queen's
pawn of the Whites; and then the games will be equal.

The San Juan Affair. —The following is
Gen. Harney’s Reply to Gov. Douglas’ protest,
dated Fort Vancouver, W. T., Aug. 6, 1859:
Sir—l have the honor to inform you of the
receipt of an official protest made by you to the
occupation of San Juan Island in Puget Sound,
by a command of United States troops under my
command.
This aforesaid copy was furnished 'by Capt.
Hornby, of Her Majesty’s ship Tribune, to the
United States officer in command at San Juan
Island, Capt. George Pickett, of the 9th infant
ry of the American army; together with a com
munication threatening a joint occupation of the
San Juan Island by the forces of Her Majesty’s
ships Tribune, Plumper, and Stalctite, now in
the harbor of that Island by your orders.
As the military commander of the Department
of Oregon, assigned to that command by the or
ders of the President of the United States, I
have the honor to state for your information, that
by such authority vested in me, I placed a mili
tary command upon the island of San Juan to
protect the American citizens residing on that
island from the insults and indignities which the
British authorities of Vancouver’s Island and
the establishment of the Hudson’s Bay Com
pany have recently offered them, by sending a
British ship-of-war from Vancouver’s Island to
convey the Chief Factor of the Hudson’s Bay
Company to San Juan, for the purpose of seiz
ing an American citizen and forcibly transporting
him to Vancouver’s Island, to be tried by British
law's.
I have reported this attempted outrage to my
government, and they will doubtless seek the
proper redress from the British government.
In the meantime, I have the honor to inform
your Excellency I shall not permit a repetition
of that insult, and shall retain a command on San
Juan Island to protect its citizens in the name
of the United States, until I receive further or
ders from my government.
I have the honor to be very respectfully, your
obedient servant, W. S. Harney,
Address of the House of Assembly on the San
Juan Affairs.—At a recent session of the As
sembly, the following proceedings took place re
lating to the occupation of San Juan by the
American forces.
The House w'ent into committee on the sub
ject of his Excellency the Governor’s message
relating to Bellevue.
Mr. Helmeken made a patriotic speech upon
the subject, and submitted the following address,
which, upon being seconded by Mr. McKay, was
carried:
ADDRESS.
The House acknowledges the receipt of your
Excellency’s communication of the 3d inst., re
lating to the clandestine invasion of San Juan
Island by the United States troops, aud the steps
to be adopted in relation thereto.
Since that communication it is well knewn
that additional forces have been landed.
The House would, therefore, respectfully in
quire why the British forces were not landed, to
assert our just right to the island in question,
and to uphold the honor of our country and our
Queen.
The House would most urgently impress upon
your Excellency to enforce upen Her Majesty’s
Government the necessity of demanding from
the Government of the United States, not only
the immediate withdrawal of those troops, but
also strenuously and at all risks, to maintain
Her right to the island in question, and also to
all other islands in the same archipelago, now
so clandestinely, dishonorably and dishonestly
ievaded.
It is not for our country to be wantonly and
insolently insulted, but redress must be de
manded.
The weakness of the colony is its greatest
danger, and at the same time an inducement for
the repetition of similar offences by similar per
sons ; let it, therefore, be urged upon her Majes
ty’s government, that sending our colonists rap
idly from Great Britain is the surest way of not
only maintaining peace, but of preserving intact
Her Majesty’s possessions; coupled with this,
the House would propose that free and liberal
grants of land be given to such emigrants after
settling thereon for a certain time.
Brigadier General U. S. Army Commanding.
Governor Douglass had committed a number
of American citizens, by order of the Vancouver
and Hudson Bay authorities.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun, “ Aga,” gives the subjoined explana
tion of our claims:
“ The ground taken by the State Department
is that the 49th parallel, or the line of the treaty
of Utrecht, was the basis of agreement between
us and Great Britain in 1846, but as the legiti
mate extension of the line cut off the southern
extremity of the British Island of Vancouver,
we, in a spirit of liberality, deflected it south
wardly so as to give the entire island to Eng
land. It is held at the State Department, that
it was the spirit of the agreement, and it was
certainly the public understanding at the time.
That the ‘channel’ flush up to Vancouver was
meant seems clear, not only from the causes of
deflecting the line, but from the fact that of the
many channels for navigation of one sort or an
other that wonld of course exist in so broad a
body of water as the Gulf of Georgia, the chan
nel of Haro, at the date of the negotiation of the
treaty, was the only one much used or known.
Since then, one of inferior character, to the east
of it, has been used by reason of the gold dis
coveries near it. It may also be urged that the
fragments of land or islands constituting an ar
chipelago in the Gulf of Georgia naturally at
tach to the main land, and not the Island of Van
couver. It will be remembered that Mr. Buch
anan is not responsible for the treaty of 1846,
since that it was negotiated upon terms 1 advised'
by the Senate, which were, that the line of the
treaty of Utrecht, as offered by Sir Robert Peel,
should be the basis of arrangement. In the dip
lomatic history, that line is spoken of by' Messrs.
Monroe and Pinkney as one extending indefi
nitely westward on the 49th parallel, and by Mr.
John Quincy Adams ns one necessary to the
United States to insure rontinuity of its posses
sions from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean."
Disaster to the English in China.—Hong
kong, July 22.—Intelligence from the North is of
the most distressing nature, our forces having
been repulsed at the entrance of the Peiho with
very severe loss. Mr. Bruce arrived off the
Peiho on the 18th of June, and sought communi
cation with the authorities on shore. No offi
cers of rank were found, but some messages
were interchanged between some petty Manda
rians and Mr. Bruce’s suite. The tenor of these
was, that the foreign Ministers would be allow
ed to proceed to Pekin by a passage to the
Northward, but that .no man-of-war would be
allowed to enter the Peiho. They disclaimed
acting under Imperial orders, stating that the
forts and barriers were constructed by the
country people to protect them against pirates.
Failing to obtain any satisfactory intercourse,
Mr. Bruce handed the matter over to Admiral
Hope, who, on the 25th of June, proceeded to
force a passage, which resulted in the total de
feat of the British forces, with no less than five
gunboats and about a third of the whole force
engaged. The mouth of the river was effectual
ly barred by iron stakes and booms. This bar
was raked by the fire of the newly constructed
forts on the other side of the river, mounting
ninety to one hundred guns. Admiral Hope's
appearance in the first instance was unmistaka
bly pacific; a solitary man-of-war boat carried
in his first message, the Fury and the two gun
boats being left outside the bar while the rest of
the squadron was lying thirty miles off. The
Ambassadors finding no proper officers to re
ceive them, decided to remove the bar and pass
up the river. Six or seven hours, however,
were spent in vain endeavors to effect this, aud
during that time not a gun was fired from the
forts, although the gunboats were at a distance
of 500 to 700 yards only, and some of them
had got aground. At 1.30 P. M. the signal for
action was run up, and the Opossum and Plover
pushed in close up to the first-barrier. Suddenly,
batteries supported by a mongrel force of appa
rently 20,000 meu, were unmasked and opened
a destructive fire. After a severe action, the
squadron was obliged to withdraw, with the loss
of the gun-boats Cormorant, Lee, and Plover,
and 46 killed and wounded. The French had 14
killed aud wounded out of 60. The Plenipoten
tiaries have returned to Shanghai.
A further telegram mentions that seven offi
cers were killed and seventeen wounded, Admi
ral Hope being among the latter.
The Americans, though they took no part in
the action, have been extremely kind in assist
ing our wounded, and in various other ways
have earned the good wishes of the whole squad
ron. I send you a list of the killed and wound
ed, which is a very heavy one, considering that
the total number of men of all arms engaged,
did not exceed 1300 men. I cannot now ascer
tain the number of seamen and marines in each
vessel, but the total loss, including officers and
men of all arms, is 464 killed and wounded.
The belief was universal throrghout the
squadron that Europeans manned the batteries,
as well as the Chinese. Men in gray coats,
with closely-cropped hair and Russian features,
were distinctly visible. The whole of the forti
fications were evidently of European designing.
The fire of the Chinese, both in weight and
precision, was such as was never before expe
rienced at their hands.
The Times says: “ Henceforth negotiations
must be carried on at Pekin, where no one can
doubt Europeans will soon be as much at home
and as safe as at Paris.” It concludes the arti
cle with the following uncomplimentary reflect
ions on the American Ambassador: “The
American Ambassador, without force of arms, is
said to have been admitted at Pekin.”
American Iron. —The experiment upon the
Georgia Central Railroad, as to the relative du
rability aud cheapness of the American and im
ported British Iron, was conclusive as to the ev
ident superiority of the former. The General
superintendent of that road has borne witness
to the fact in his report. We extract the follow
ing in relation to it:
The Philadelphia North American publishes
several conclusive testimonials as to the supe
riority, both in point of durability and cheap
ness, of rails, the result of which has proved in
the highest degree favorable to the rails of our
own manufacture from American iron. This
road was supplied in 1856 with part im
ported and part American rails; they were laid
on opposite sides of the same track for a
long distance, so that their qualities might be
fairly tested, on perfectly equal conditions. The
rails were of the same pattern, and an extra price
was paid for the English rails to insure the best,
quality of iron. After more than two years of
wear, the General Superintendent of the road
has given his report, from whtch it appears that
the American rails were much better than the
imported ones. Testimony of this character
will, of course, have its due weight.
