Ordinary.Roads.-.~~ door s-ebeers “follow «him ;~ he’ shakes It appears that steam has at last . hands with everybody in his path, even it big oy aed t, teams viehae! ‘rushes out into the darkness—not dark Seotiand; has furnished the Grass Val-. ley Union with report recently read] , by Professor Archer before the British . Association, descriptive of Thomson’s road steamer. We make the following extracts from Professor Archer’s description: “Some very interesting tri‘als have been niade during the last few weeks with two six horse power road steamers, under the direction of the in. ventor, Mr: R. W. Thomson, of Edinburgh, which exhibits their tractive ‘ power and speed in a remarkable manner, The most extraordinary trial was one in which the six-tan road steamer "was harnessed to four huge wagons and load weighing together 34 tons—which itdrew without an effort or any stoppage from the foot to the top of Granton Road —a distance of a quarter of a mile, with inclines of from 1 in 18 to 1 in 25. Arrived at the top, it turned . with its train in the road itself, andran back to its starting place. It may again be pointed out that the drawing of 84 tons, besides the engine’s own weight, up 1 in 20 is equal to drawing 150 tons on a level road. Of course no claim is made that a six horse power road steamer could habitually do work like this, but a record is here given ‘5 a test to which its powers were publicly pat. The ether road steamer was attached to an omnibas which conveyed a party of .géhtlemen from Granton to Leith. The distance is 2% miles, and the journey was performed in 214 minutes, or at'the rate of eight miles an hour—that being the highest speed at which it was deemed safe to tun’ thro’ atown. This road steamer has been bailt especially for omnibus traffic, and is exceedingly light and compact,”* The following is an extract from the letter of a well known Scotch engineer: “We took out a 15-ton boiler to Stoneywood, on a four or five ton wagon, with 2 feet 6 inches and 3 feet whrels, right down Union street, at a speed of three milegan hour, at the busiest hour of the day, all the way in the single gear, except about: 100 yards of steep in Crown street, and the Brae of Greeenburn, where the single gear failed us— at least it was about a balance, and we put onthe double gear. Usually we have had to have men bebind with ropes to hold back on the Brae down to Stoneywood, but the engine was drag enough of itself almost. It cer. tainly is a feat for a 5-ton engine to drag o¥€a 20-ton load and climb grades of 1 in 20 with a sivgle gear. We had “all Aberdeen turned out as we passed. ~ It was an unusual sight'to see the Infant Hercules in front of the great boiler, 80 feet long and 7 feet in diameter, bowling along with it like a a plaything at its tail, whilst the plaything itself shook the houges again as _ it danced over the rough causeway,” Mr. Watt, who is a practical engineer.and machinist, thoroughly examined the engine when he was in Scot« land, and he assures the Union that the engine is all that is claimed for it. The experiments given above are sufficient to satisfyany one that the engine may be used upon our mountain roads to advantage, and we should like to see one of them put upon the route from Nevada to Grass Valley and Colfax, for the transportation of freight and passengers to the railroad. Anen~ gine that will pull 34 tons up an incline of 1 in 18, ought to do the work over the grades on mountain roads with ease. We should like to see a company organized in Grass Valley and Nevada,. with the purpose, after becoming fully satisfied of the practica-~ bility of the dhdertaking, to import one of these engines. Such a line would be almost as good as a railroad. _ The round trip with maile, express " and passengers ~~ to be } anne in fear hours. _ Tux Sante Barbara Press has been en arged and otherwise improved, to him, we fancy, h owever. “We rather fancy the expectant holder . deceived in his figures, as the drawing number was in this city at,the time.

The chief advantage claimed for it ‘seems to be the great quantity of cloth which it is capable of producing, which is stated at 250 yards a day, or six or eight times the quantity made by the present machines.

Another caught 4,800; another 4,000; one man alone, 900; a man and -his son, 1,400, and a single man, in his dory, 800. REFERRING to the statement telegraphed from London, that the Emperor Napoleon has 10,000,000 francs secured on real estate, through the agency of Brown Brothers of New York, the New York Express says that it is informed upon good authority that the Emperor has a large real estate in New Jersey, especially in Hoboken. .

There is little hope, however, of sucha thing happening: that telegram is apt to be too crashingly cerrect. As Mr, Wil. kins Micawber wrote, when something did not “turn up” as he had fondly hoped; we remark: “The fair land of promise, lately blooming in. the hori. zon, is now enyelo 4 in impenetrable mists, and forever gone from the gaze of a drifting wretch, whose doom. is sealed.” , Tu Stonewall Jackson monumental building, at Abingdon, Va.,cannot be completed short of an additional $30,~ 000.The grounds were once owned -by. the late Governor Floyd.

Tae One Hunprep THovsanp.— A dispatch tothe Union says: Wormser Bros. sent the ticket which wen the $100,000 prize to New York toa club of 100 or more persons and it has already been telegraphed for, The excitement subsided immediately on the announcement of the ‘drawing of that prize, and the crowds on the streets dispersed, though the attendance at the pavilion was still large. THREE different correspondents, depict the condition of Metz before the surrender.as deplorable. Women and children actually died of starvation, and the troops of Bazaine were so weakened by want of food that they were incapable of making a successful atttack. Many of his poor soldiers went to him, however, and begged to be led against the enemy, as they preferred to be sbot rather than die of starvation.
