It could articulate a number of winds and perform some very extraordinary feats. The Professor Spent some 27 years in the construction. of liis image, and though it exhibited tnuch in genuity, still we could not but consider that the Professor had wasted for 2r years his genius and time and wearth upon a trifle light as air. Mechanical ingenuity never theless always excites at(entionand re gret is mingled with admiration for th productions of man although no rejlt of any utility or benefit to the. world may be the consequence Who has not heard -of the Gerirrtin phifosophW-wlio' in riWzMesire to create a fellow mortal, created his own evil genii. A late Augsburgh pappr an nounces that Dr Lube of that city, has in vented an artificial man, which throws Prof. Faber's in the shade, anil seems to be almost life itself. A visitor who writes to the Aussburgh German Gazette, was in vited with "a friend to visit the Doctor's Sanctum. They beheld him seated at a key board similar that of a piano forte, and nearly in the centre of the room was a fashionably dressed young man, whom the Doctor introduced as a Mr Eisenbrass, who wished the visitors good morning, and re mained standing until they were seated.

Thorgh separated for a time from my gallant associates in arms, and assigned to a mere extended and responsible com mand, I have not ceased to watch over their welfare and reputation, and sym pathise in tiieir trials and nTisfortu ties; amf, the confidence which. I repose in their conduct and discipline, authorizes the as- su ranee which I have'given, that the Stan- dat d.wlnch I now confine to their protec tion will never be dishonored. Capt.

This sur- j neither flag no prised the visitors, and one said. Doctor your instrument does nt seem inclined to be musical at present. This brought a laugh from the Doctor, which was echoed by Mr Eisenbrass, in such an unearthly and comical manner that the visitors Ii.hI to laugh also, although they felt the laugh to be at their, own expense. As soon as the visitors became calm, the Dr. rose from his seat, and taking them calmly by the r renown of triumphal feats to wave over them: whiKt the other has had, if not both, the one most desirable imperishable fame. Their assignment, therefore, to the Rio Grande, was an unfortunate one" to them, though hailed,at the time, and by all, as one of r -:o most eligible, both for military ex ploits and healtn ; but time has proved it disastrous to both.

Mr Eisenbrass is the Automan 1 in- j Vited vou here to see; and being the first ! w ho has seen it, I couKI not resist a pater nal desire of showing it oft", as fotsd parents always do their first born chi'dren- They looked at the Doctor, then at Mr Eisen brass, and again at the Doctor, to see if he was not quizzing. There sat Mr E im moveable, with his eyes fixed on the floor, while the Doctor see'med almost bursting with delight. They looked again. I id he, 'vou are incredulous, let Ut,U Ull t 1 I 111 .. I.

The idea once conceived, was immediately act ed upon The bones of a human subject were procured and clothed with a complete muscular system, composed of vulcanized caoutchouc. The consummate anatomical knowledge of Dr. Eube enabled him to do this w ith great success, at the same time adding a perfect system of nerves made of fine plantinum wire covered with silk. It is undoubtedly known to most of our readers that the muscles of animals act by an enlargement ami contraction in the middle, produced by the will acting through the nerves. These ettorts are nnitateo oj placing in the centre of each muscle elec ts. with delicate machinery at tached to be worked by galvanic currents you say, many of in arms fall ; not. however, by any participation in the many brilliant achievements of the war, which have shed so much lustre on the American arms, but as victims to' the foul distempers of the climate, whiUt in the performance of the most onerous and perilous duties belonging to the service. Bui, comrades in arms, be not discourag ed by borrows' and disappointments; for recollect that every warrior who falls, will hat e saci iliced himself to the cause of his country ; and, whether it be gloriously on the field of battle, of humbly, on the sick bed, their claims on their country grati tude w ill be the same, ami their memories will live alike in the heart nf every freeman, lie, then, patient, charitable ami just, and fear not; your cau c is good, and will sooner or later succeed which will be glory enough for all. And shouli1 there be any selfish ambi tion, fling it away; for by that sin fell the angels.' Love, then, thyself last; for the cause in which you are engaged is a com mon cause your country's cause. Then, if you fall in the service, actuated by such principles, you fall bravely and gallantly. Should, how ever, dejection ever over take you in your trials, look on this flag, and it will bring to memory associations that will rekindle fresh fires, which will , nobly sustain you through many struggles that may yet await you. Remember, too, her ferveut prayers for your safety and honor; and let that noble and patriotic sen timent impress every bosom and vibrate through every nerve, by which she exhorts you to brave all dangers in vindication of the national honor from insult. This is no ostentatious show of patriotism for vainglory or elf approbation. No! it is that generous and pious attachment to the country, enthusiastically expressed
