(Sri The Democrat. The Road Steamer. From the London Timfs, February 28. Progress breeds wants. As one need is provided for, a fresh need is born.' So rail ways, invented to facilitate the operations of commerce and manufacture, have in their turn erected a new iejuirement. Their enormous powers of absorption and trans mission render a new mode of feeding them imperative, for animal power no longer suffi-1 c to bring them their supplies of freight. ! With railways, too, other growths have been goiug ou. Huge factories have sprung up j in quiet nooks, and their daily produce ex-1 reeds what the population of a great city j could have achieved in a year's course by ! unorganized labor; mines, by the aid of I improved machinery, yield up their wealth j in quantities undreamtof in days of old, and j the machines themselves are constructed of j a: strength and bulk that even theorists) would not have ventured on a generation j back. To carry all this abundance from its sources to the railway or to its special des-1 tinations has long been too arduous a task ! for such, feeble agents -as carts and horses, I and mechanical skill has for many years past ' leei engaged in trying to make our great servant steam work upon common roads. Two radical difficulties, however, baffled the ingenuity arid zeal brought to bear upon the problem. - 'Ponderous traction engines were built on various plans, but always witlkthe result that the shocks experienced in run- units fivr hard roads occasioned continual breakages in the machinery. If to obviate this, as far as possible, the weight of the en gine was increased, then the roads suffered terribly. All kinds of contrivances were applied to meet the emergencies to which the engine was liable; claws shot out from the-wheels to enable the machine lo issue! oat of hollows, or to emerge from soft places into which it would sink from its own 1 weight, but at the critical moment the claws ; were apt to break, while the havoc they j made with the road was fearful. The claws j were likewise needed to prevent the engine 1 Irom' slipping on an ascent. To the wheels j of? another form of engine cumbrous planks j wtere attached, which revolved with the! wheel and offered a kind of rail for it to run j on, but this could not be made to work practically; The use of traction engines, therefore, has hem attended with great an noyance and expense from the constant in juries to road and engine, caused by their contact with each other, and for this reason, though' the supremacy of steam over horses would still assert itself when extraordinary loads had to be moved, traction engines could not be employed for general purposes and regular traffic. But now the two diffi culties have been overcome by the invention of the Koud Si earner. The Boad Steamer can run on any kind of road. It runs over hard roads and paved streets without jolting, over soft roads withoitt sinking, over muddy loads without slipping; nay, it needs no road at all, for it can run with equal ease over grass fields, through plowed fields, upon ice, through loose sand, and over frozen snow. Though small and light itself, it climbs the severest gradients and draws en ormous loads. It owes all its faculties and its exemption from the disabilities of other traction engines to one device as simple as it is efficacious. The wheels, which are of great width, are surrounded by tires of vul canized India rubber. These thick bands of India rubber enable the Boad Steamer to float over the surface of the ground without the slightest damage to the road, while they likewise protect the machinery from all con cussion. The intervention of the elastic tires between the wheel and the road acts, in fact, in the same way as if the engine were running over a tramway of India rubber. Mr. ll. V. Thomson, C E.,of Edinburgh, the inventor of the Boad Steamer, having experienced much annoyance from the de fects of tract ion engines, and finding none able to do work for which he required them, conceived and carried out the idea of pro viding the wheels of a steam engine to run on common roads with India rubber tires of immense thickness. When the first patent Boad Steamer was tried, some two years ago, its success was complete, and far ex ceeded the expectations and hopes of the in veutor. Since then he has been engaged in building nuinbei s of these engines to send to all parts of the world, and the record of home 01 their performances, in the presence of engineers agriculturists and other practi-i cal men, will doubtless be found interesting. A three-horse power engine drew a boiler weighing thirteen tons ui an incline of one in twelve, the ground being so slippery at the time from frost that horses could not keep their feet. The engine was run through h grass field without leaving a track, and agai 1 through a fk-ld covered to a depth of two feet with loose earth. A twelve horse power engine, weighing eight tons, ran with Iqujpwagons attached to it out to a colliery twelve .miles from Edinburgh; there receiv ed a load amounting, with tne four wagons, to thirty-two tons, making the weight of the whole forty tons; and then returned up in clines of one in sixteen to Edinburgh. It wended its way, with its train of ninety feet, with perfect facility through the narrow stretts of the old town, which chanced on the occasion to be thronged with vehicles carrying people to some open air festivity. It turned all manner of sharp corners, ran down the steep hill to Leith, entered a lane, and drove in through the gaies of the facto ry, where it delivered its joad. An engine j was driven into a newly-dug potato Held, j and there ran about in every direction, leav- j ing the Foil quite undisturbed. A twelve-1 horfre powe.' ngine, drawing a load of sev- j rnteen tons oi pig iron, w as driven along J tb Ciranton road at the rate of eight miles j an hour.

Bible Society in North Carolina. The Donations made to the Parent Society, U7id Amount paid for JS idles in their own Mounds. Mecklenburg county stands far ahead in donations, having contributed $2,112 since its' organization in 1830, being about $50 per year. For the supply of its own popula tion'a little over $3,uou. " Cumberland county stands second in do nations, having given about $1400, since its formation in lb42. This does not do justice to Cumberland as it had a Society called Fayetteville. How long it existed, and how much it did for the Bible, I have no means of knowing. More than $3,000 have been paid for Hi bios. liobeson county is third in donations, the amount being about $1200 since its for mation in 1824. Paid for Bibles $3,360. These three being the onlv ones whose donations reach a thousand dollars. Cabarrus county Its donations are $081 and a little over $1700 for Bibles, which it is probable falls far short of its contribu tions, as Concord B. S. was the second so ciety formed in the State, being in June, 1818, and the County Society not formed till 1840. Richmond County Society was formed in 1823, and stands fifth in its donations, amount being $0(51, and for Bibles a little over $1,000. This does not exhibit all that this county has done, as there was another Society (Kuphradian) formed in 1825, and another in 1851, called Pee Dee. Granville County Bible Society was the fourth formed in the State, being in Septem- ber, 18T8. Its donations amount to $919 and for Bibles about $2,800. The North Carolina State Bible Society was organized in 1823. Its donations were $081, and the amount paid for Bibles was over $0,000. It has not been in active op eration formany years, leaving the work to the County Societies. These are the only Societies in North Carolina that have made donations amounting to nine hundred dol lars. Guilford County Bible Society is next its donations being $775 and for Bibles nearly $2,300. It was organized in 1830. Iredell County Bible Society wrs organ ized in 1822 donations $437 and for Bi bles $3,040. Bowan County Bible Society was formed in 1822, and has contributed $324, and paid for Bibles 2,200, Ik a T. Wyche, Agent. Sensible and Timely Suggestions. The following friendly and sensible advice is offered by the editor of the Baleigh Tele gram to Hon. J. C. Abbott: We observe that Mr Abbott is advised to return to his native home, New Hampshire, and lend the weight of his presence and in fluence toward resuscitating the Bepublican party in that State. We presume the. lie publican party in New Hampshire is able to take care of itself, and we trust that Gen. Abbott will do nothing of the sort. We want him here in North Carolina ; not as a politician, or a Senator, perhaps, but as one of the earnest working men of the country. He has alreadv done the State good service, whatever injury he may have wrought in the estimation of partisans. He has invest ed, and caused to be invested, money in the industrial advancement and material im provement of North Carolina. He has in terests we learn in Bladen county, and by attention to these may make himself a public benefactor to all the interests of that sec tion, and he has it in his power to influence j other capital to the State, and divers men I of means, ingenuity, mechanical skill and and j The ! 11! enterprise. VYe hope he will do so, material interests of the South override all the political interests of mere partisans, and we want good working men of means, brain and muscle, let their party preferences or political predilections oe what tney may To all such we assure a hearty and cordial I welcome from all whose e welcome and opin-! fintthhwr W h.-ivo I ions really amount to had a great ileal of this outcry against men for political effect, and for party sake, which really amounts to nothing in principle, but in fact has wrought serious consequences on our material prosperity. We have our opin ions of government, as every, man is sup posed to have. As Southerners, native to the soil, we have our share in the past glory fit the Smith rind up dkn rDpnfrni'f" mr ilnt.v t( om. seclion -n th elft cmCrgency. We arc as K,llou8 as any of the rights and honor of our section, and as true in all re- spects to North Carolina as a son may ever In Vw wwV. Vt rPV t pacificators in time of war, and warriors in j naving a uowry 01 only i.;5U,U0O and a pen time of peace, do not represent the senti-i sion of 6,000, while her husband, who be ment, or by their couduct promote the wel fare of the country. They establish nothing but their own folly, and the people so find ing have ceased to pay attention to their murmurs, their curses, or the denunciations they indulge in the madness of their baffled rage. Such men, we repeat, have little in fluence with the masses. They represent no element of healthy public sentiment they v - V, ' "v.. t.t,. ..-.., u. .... Hi j iauiv.iuic sort, dangerous only to their friends, and ought not to be regarded as the spokesmen ' of the Southern country, or even the masters i of our political, commercial, or domestic j situation. We therefore ask Mr Abbott to return to his North Carolina home. Help us to build 1 up the country, now that Ins ltohtieal and . ' 1 official career is at an end, and we ask him to let whatever influence he may exert in New Hampshire turn in the direction of in ducing some of the capital, industry and mechanical skill of the granite St ate "to the shores of our own State.

If the newspa pers of the State are an index to public sen timent, a majority of our people are of opin ion that the whipping post should be re-established as one of the punishments for crime. The old practice is still continued in Virgin ia with good effect. The Courier says: "Whether barbarous or not, one thing is certain, that it is inspiring a wholesome ter ror in the minds of wrong doers, and will be the means of saving the state a large unuec cessary expense." lialeiyh Ttltyram. Brutal Outrage. On Monday evening about sunset Ella daughter of P. S. Hicks, 14 years old 5 -o- resiuin: uenr tbp old citv grave yard, Hargett street, was brutally assaulted by a negro boy named Sandy Long 15 or 1 1 3-ears old, assisted by five other negro bovs younger than he, under the following circumstance : The girl was sent on an errand by her parents to a store opposite the Fair Ground. While she was in the store a white boy named James Pearce overheard the negro boys who had followed the girl, enter into a conspiracy to seize her on her way home and force her in to a deep ditch close by and violate her person. The girl, however, was fortunately thrown into company with another small white boy named Arch. Pearce, coining to wards the city. The negroes attempted to drive back this little boy, but the gallant little fellow seeing the danger in which his companion was, resolutely refused to leave her. The negroes then assailed the girl in the vilest manner and threatened to lay violent hands upon her, but were put to flight on the approach of assistance. Mayor Harrison committed Sandy Long to jail yes terday for this offence, and is looking after the rest of these voting candidates lor the ga llo w s. 11 ale iyti Sen t in el.
