This seem8impossible. though,.after all, it is not so very much more wond erful than the application of steam and electricity, but some mechanical eipertsVwhb have examined Keely's invention think itfc is ; going to proye all that he claims! The vapor is of such enormous power.that it has been difficult to invent an apparatus which would allow the production of a' suffi ciently .small amount, and to facili tate its reduction in a force that could be practically applied, but Mr. Keeley thinks that he has overcome both these difficulties,? and: claims that he can run his machine as easily' as an ordinary steam engine. The appara tus consists of a generator three feet nign, two ieet long auu a. iuuv uwy receiver of wrought iron with a capacity of 20 gallonsand a feed pipe which conveys: the! vapor to an ordi narysteam1 jengine, in which it can be used without any material alterations. The bore of the feed pipe varies in size from the eighth of an inch to the size of a knitting-needle, the latter be ing all that is required for a ten horse power engine. Notwithstanding the enormous power of this vapor, how ever, the discoverer claims that an ex plosion would do far less damage than an ordinary boiler explosion, because, as soon as the vapor came in contact with the outside atmosphere, it would instantly revert to its original elements air and water. How this remarka ble, vapor is produced, as well as some other points about the invention, Mr. Keely dosn't propose to tell till he has got the patents for which he has ap plied, both in this country and abroad, but anumbr of skilful mechanics, who have examined the machine as far as he will allow, believe it will accom plish all tbat is claimed for it, and business men in various cities have pledged a large amount of capital for the purchase of the invention, if its practicability is established. It is needless to enlarge upon the effects of the invention, if it should accomplish what is expected by its believers ; it would simply revolutionize many of the world's industrial interests. But we imagine that most people will not place much confidence in it till it has demonstrated its power beyond ques tion. 'THE WILD SOUTHERNER.' "Wendell Phillips is a rare genius, and he is one of the few wild New England fanatics in whose sincerity we believe There is as little blarney and humbug about Wendell as any Northerner of his generation.

The revival of inte- est in the ereat scandal : trial has been brought about by the tcerit de velopments, a synopsis of which ; was published in yesterday's Qbseevek.. It is the general impression of the Metres politan press, that if Judge Neilson conr Bents to have the - case - re-opened,' and this evidence is admitted, Beech er's conviction is assured, unless the jury is corrupted. And all agree that the mere publication of . all this, unless it is contradicted, will convict him before the public, The Herald says : The startling testimony we print this morning in reference to Mr. Beech er is given with sorrow, for if it is' be lieved it will decide the verdict of the public, no matter what may be the ac tion of the jury. It is a matter of re gret that it was not submitted in court, to enable the counsel for tne aeience to reply to it ; yet it is also to be admitted that if the counsel for the plaintiff had known it they might have" offered it with vast effect. -We give; the astounamg statements as a matter of duty to the public, which is, After all, the ultimate tribunal by which the great clergyman is to be acquitted or condemned. "Mr. Trott is still looking around for the Lieutenant-Governor of Michi gan with a shot-gun. He steps out like a man who means business. His wife remonstrates with him constantly, but he says, " Taint no use talking to me, Mrs. Trott; I aint one of your bir Mar maduke m users, I aint." It will be remembered that Mr. Trott is the man who cowhided the Lieuten ant Governor of Michigan, a few days ago. for " improper solicitations to his wife." Trott is the right kind of a man, and that is the right kind of way to settle all such cases. Courts and trials will never protect a man's home against such characters. It is only the shot gun and the cowhide, or both, that will do it effectually. A Maryland mob, Monday, visite summary vengeance upon a negro lor a nameless outrage. We are not the advocates of lynch law, but cannot cen sure a party of citizens for taking the law in their own hands for a crime "like this. They ; are becoming of too fre quent occurence all over the land, and the only way to put a stop to them is t visit swift and certain death upon the perpetrators. We really cannot see but little difference, as a crime against so ciety, between the offence of this negro and that of Henry Ward Beecher. The negro used the only means nature had given him, physical force, to accom plish his fiendish designs. Beecher used his intellect to accomplish the same object "Vice-President Wilson says that the one object of his recent visit to ex Vice-President Breckinridge was to ob tain certain historical facts in the lat- ter's possession, for use in his 'History oi oiavery." jx. Will the Southern people never leave off their nonsense ? Just as we predict ed, some weeks ago, Mr. Wilson is de nymg that he visited General Breckin ridge as an act of disinterested friend ship. It was not a good party move, so he denys it. Wonder how the Southern people and newspapers that kicked up such a row over him and turned loose such a flood of nauseating flattery on him, feel just about this time.

The work originally published tinder the title of The New American Cyclopaedia was com pleted in 1863, since which time the wide circu lation which it has attained in all parts of the all parts I develo United States, and the signal developments wmcn nave tasen Place In every branch of science, literature, and a and art. have induced the editors and publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough revision, and to issue a new edition entitled The American Cyclopaedia. Within the last ten years tbe progress of dis covery in every department of knowledge has made a new work of reference an imperative The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and refinement of social life. Great wars and consequent revolu tions have occurred, Involving national changes 01 peculiar moment. The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when thelast volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has commenced. Large accessions to our geographical knowl edge have been made by the indefatigable ex plorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last de cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time have bronght into public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one's mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battles have been fought and important sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take then place in permanent and authentic history. In preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the most recent discoveries In science, oi every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political and historical events. The work has been begun after long and care ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it onto a successful ter mination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming In fact a new Cyclopaedia), with the same plan and compass as its predeces sor, but with a far greater pecuniary expendi ture, and with a such improvements in its com position as have been suggested by longer ex perience and enlarge knowledge. The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been ad ded not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explana tions in the text - They embrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable features of scenery architecture, and art, as well as the various pro cesses of mechanics and manufactures. Al though intended for instruction rather than em bellishment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence ; the cost of their exeeu tion is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable fea ture of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high clisvi ctcr This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be complet ed in sixteen large octavo volumes, each con taining about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.
