The Patent Office. The Wettmimxltr Review for October, j in mi able and well considered article t on "Patent Law,'' pays the following ! handsome and merited compliment to ! iue iu repon ui uie preseiu i.niwu, States Commissioner of Patents : j Wc may add that some of the lnfoi mation embodied in our article is borrowed ' from that most lucid and comprehensive ! report, which iu truth is a model docu- ! merit of its kind, and is one which we heartily recommend to the perusal of all ' who care about the spread and progress i of invention. It has been reprinted in our Commissioners of Patents' Journal The Westminhter gives the decided preference to our patent system over that of Great Britain in two particulars. The first is tho preliminary examination as to the novelty of an invention by the office previous to the issuing of the patent. This is obviously on the ground that the office can perform this work much better than the inventor, especially where, as in this country, according to the Revise, the examiners "are men of exceptional talent." lie is thus saved the expense of taking out a patent which lias. Jit cn anticipated, or from the groater expense, besides the loss of time involved, of having this examination made for him. The records of the English courts show a vast amount of litigation which js thereby avoided. Instances are cited in which patents have been litigated for years at a cost ranging from 15,000 to 25,000, when at last it has been dis- ! covered that the invention waanot novel, j The writer sums up the argument on this j point by saying : "Moreover, it (this examination) prevails in a country which is more worthy to instruct us in patent matters than all European countries combined the United States of America." The other respect in which the preference is given to our system is th relative cheapness of patents. This, evidently, is a wonderful stimulus to invention. It may b said, it is true, that worthless patents are multiplied by their being comparatively inexpensive. Hut who can tell what is a worthless patent ? Inventions are eminently suggestive and cumulative. The failure of one inventor is the success of another ; tho mistakes of one suggest their remedy to another. In the subtle operations of the human mind, any fact, any process, any suggestion, however simple and seemingly unimportant, like the fall of the apple to Newton, may develop a central principle. Inventions should, evidently, be considered in the aggregate, and not in their individual significance. To borrow the striking and beautiful illustrations of our own report : "The fields of invention and practical knowledge have been extended by accretions as insensible as those which have formed the delta of the Mississippi. Every new fact of science, every conception of ingenuity, no matter how trivial, has added something to their area. The noblest inventions which now astonish the world the steam en- . . a I t a 1 gme, tne raiiroaa nave ueen as iruiy j built up, block by block, layer by layer, i as the Pyramids." j The discussion of patent systems, however, is not to our present purpose, which j .J. nt.nw aaII ottnntinn ft IKa faor. fflAt : 19 nuivi j v - ... vu. ; our Patent Report, with its luminous ex- j hibit of our industrial energies and re- j sources as a people, has been published j in its entirety in an English journal, and j thus laid before the English reader. We j venture to predict tnat it win nave a greater effect upon public opinion abroad as to the relative chaaracter and strength of the two scctons of this country, now in hostile array against each other, than would any single achievement of our national arms, however brilliant The Patent Office of a nation is one of the truest indices, perhaps the most certain, of its civilization and advancement in the industrial arts. What would be thought of the South, if it could present a record to clean and satisfactory of its internal condition, as that furnished by our own RsportT And yet it seceded with its Stat governments complete, and the machinery of its confeder ate government easily arranged and set : in motion. .The entire fail ore of ita patent system, If it deserves the name, for

' terial prosperity, or checked our inventive genius; but, in the words of the Ileiort, "has stimulated our inventive power "j in every branch of industrj'." It was t j have been expected, it is true, that the , war would have multiplied inventions in the field of military and naval science ; yet we must confess to our astonishment, as others will, to learn from the Keport that while iu one year there were taken out two hundred and forty patents in the implements of war, in the single department of agriculture four hundred and ninety patents were issued. It is owing to this increase of our productive capacity, effected by the increase of labor -saving machines more than to foreign immigration, that the drain upon our population has been so 'little felt during the war. It is estimated that the use of reaping machines alono will effect the saving of the labor of 4."0,0o men. In the 6tirring language of the report, to which some perhaps may take exception ! as wanting in official dignity, and not ac- j cording to rcd tape, but which to our tMte ,mg the truc ringf and wiU ring npon the ear Europe as with the sound of a trumpet : "Thus to each call from our great leader, the people have been aMe to respond : "We are coming. Father Abraham, Six hundred thousand more." We have no doubt that the foreign publication of this "model document" of the Commissioner of Patents, so comprehensive in principle, lucid in detail, and pregnant in supgestion showing so clearly the rapid development and iWtij haustable resources of the loyal seen ot trie country; aim suggesting in con. - - . . . . . . . -w. trast the relative inferiority of that section, upon which has so long rested the incubus of slaver3', in the vital elements which constitute a State, will do much to dispel the prejudice fostered so industriously by Confederate agents, in regard to our impoverished condition and rapid strides to ruin ; will do much also to enlighten the foreign mind as to tho true issues of the war. Its manifest teaching is, that the triumph of our national arms is the triumph of civilization over semibarbarism the triumph of humanity, in which the people of all lands are interested ; that, in the event of this triumph, the emigration of the Old World will no longer be confined, as heretofore, to the cold and sterile North, but will spread over the fertile valleys and broad savannahs of the South, causing them to rejoice in the hum .a ad smile in the fruits of peaceful industry; and that the des tiniea of the Republic point unmistakably to a united country, to the supremacy of the National Government, to a complete and rounded nationality, to homogeneous institutions, and to universal freedom.

Columbia has fallen! Sherman marched into and took possession of the city yesterday morning. The intelligence was confirmed yesterday by Gen. Beauregard, in an official dispatch. 'Columbia is situated on the north bank of the Congree river, just below the confluence of the Saluda and Broad Tivers. From Beanrecard s dispatch, it appears that on Thursday the enemy approached the south bank of the Cougree, and threw a number of shells into the city. During the night they moved up the river, and yesterday morning forded the Saluda and Broad Rivers. Whilst they were croesing these rivers, our troops were under tire. General Beauregard evacuated Columbia. The enemy soon after took possession. Throuch private sources, we learn that two days ago, when it was decided 1 not to attempt the detense of Columbia. a large quantity of medical stores, which ' it was thought was impossible to remove I was destroyed. The female employees ,: of the Treasurer's Department had been ' previously sent off to Charlottsville, ten miles south of Columbia. We presume i the Treasury telegraphic establishment was also removed, although as to this we have no positive Information. . ,. "The fall of Columbia necessitates, we presume, the evacuation of Chanleston, vhich we think likely is alreJy in proceas of evacuation.

It is to be preswaed he is subsisting on the country, and he has Lad no battle to consume bis ammuni- , tion. Before leaving Savannah he declared his intention to march to Columbia thence to Agusta, and thence to Charleston. "Thi was uttered as a bost and to hide ' his designs, as we believe, and he will :

In short, Charleston be$fan this relellion Charleston has Sent desolation over the South and ', mourning into every Northern home. All the insolence, j meanness and crime that pertains to rebels and rebel- i lion is intensified in Charleston. j We do righteously glory therefore in tho fall of this nest of TifK-rs. coupliug our rejoicings with profound ( gratitndeto tlo l, who is at once the Ifod of Battle and ! the IVince of 1'eace, for His providential goodness in crowning the latiors an 1 suffering of our heroic armies with this great victory.- Its moral etlect upon the ! rebel armies and our own will be opposite but equally j great. Our people ought not to limit the moral to the j militarv eftect of the fall of Charleston. It shonld lie j made tie occasion of general popular rejoicing and I religious thanksgiving. We ought to ri.se up in every j city, tow n and village in the North, and by public j meetings and addresses, by illuminations and rejoic- 1 ings, V give such an expression to the enthusiastic 1 gratitude wkii which we regard these triumphs of cor j brave soldiers, as shall nerve their hearts with new i courage in the coming hour of fiHal battle. J Sternr conflicts may still await them. We hope j thoy do not. We hope that the weakness w ith -which Sherman Las been met may prove the prelude to the ! final almost bloodless collapse of the rebel power. In I either event we believe the people of the North could ! perform no more useful or important duty ft an to j make our thickly crowding victories, and cspeoia Uy the ! fall of Charleston, the occasion for a universal r opular expression of special gratitude to Uod and to our arnnes." The burning of a large porti on of s Charleston bv the rebels, is an ever it not j to be deplored. Owing to the man- ner in j which it fell into our bauds, that 'might . j not have occurred, if the rebels them- j j selves had not applied the torch. . A.s it . t is the only regret is that the destruction ; j of the hot-bed of seeedcion waa not; t complete. ! A gang of rebel cavalry dashed into; it Cumberland. Md., before daylight on i j Tuesday morning, and having surprise 1 ; our pickets captured Generals Crook; and j Kelley and took them away with tiiem. ' The very boldness of the deed probably 1 insured its success. A pursuit had been instituted, but, at last accounts, notkiag ! had been heard of the captors or their i prisoners. - The news of the evacuation of Charles ton, and its occupation by our forces, t ' was received with ranch enthnsiasm bv both the Ohio and Indiana Legislatures, f At Lolnmbus the House gave free utter- j ance to the joy the good news inspired, f cheered, shouted, and sang 'John Brown' ; and "Rally round the Fla," members, i messenger boys and spectators, both i civil and military joining in the chords, The Wisconsin Legislature has ratiS- j ea ttie constitutional Amendment. di.i - J i r- v , .

J"l)S. RlCTIMoXK, Pai.t.aiicm : Having seen but little in your excel- - lent Journal, "in reference to the 9tii Indiana Cavalry, I have concluded that a lirief sketch of its operations might interest j-our readers. Having been confined in the hospital at Nashville, with rheumatism, and from the erf'octs of old -wounds received in the. battle of Richmond Kentucky, I was prevented from participating in the series of brilliant operations in front of Nashville, which resulted in the complete discomfiture of Hood ; but the Pth was there and ever 'in at the death," and won the reputation of being the first in, and the last out, of any regiment of its Brigade. At Wilson's pike, at Brentwood and Franklin, its gallantry shone most conspicuously, taking several pieces of artillery and a.s many prisoners as it numbered men. One man of Company C, (Dkxms Andrews, of Union citj',) dashed forward some fifty yards in advance of his comrades in one action, rode squarely up to the rebel line struck a reb over tho head witli his sabre, and marched him back r.s a prisoner to our lines. Many acts of individual bravery inight be mentioned ; but for pure audacity and reckless during, this seemed to surpass anything of the campaign. . The casualitics among ollicers was particularly severe. Col. Jackson, was knocked from his horse in a hand to hand conflict with the enemy. He had just had a personal rencounter with the rebel Ueueral Roddj', in the sabre exercise, ind compelled Roddy to retreat, and while pressing, met with the accident, ?ncountering those who came to the Ueneral's assistance. Capt, Holson, was killed outright. Lieut. Burroughs and Watts, fell all galantiy leading their men. Cant. Morelouse, a brave officer and a noble man, vas struck down by a minnie ball, but is ibout to recover, Lieut. Duvall, was alio severely wounded. Including losses it Sulphur Trestle, in September last, he 0th has suffered terribly, for a new egiinent. It reports for duty less than mlf the mn it did eight months since. When I became able to report for .tity. I joined the command of Capt. Ii. Brown, whom you will recollect as le able and eflk-ient recruiting officer, ho accompli s bod so much against such storm of opposition in your dise'iet ' tst year. He was placed in command f the dismount 1 1'th. and with his haraetoristic energy and industry, went' o work to sce:iro horses for Lis command had them mounted, armed and equrj ied in a fe7 days; -with '.vagons ransportation, and proctjod as an n- i enendont command, to lorn; Gen.

The Captain made cverv nro-i ision for the comfort of his men: kept 1 ,. , . , 1 ; 1em supplied wita good rations, got all e duty the service reqaire.1 out of iem without a murmur, and ' will ever I" fcrembc-red kindiv br every soldier of i til corcniand. n oSiccr, possessing in so eminent a dfree all the cp.ialiScatlorss for a hyli csmand, should have had it in the begiing. and the service would be bene fifed, if tardy justice woald mete it out todxn now.

How does the Government raise the money to pay the interest, and is it safe and sure ? Aifi-r. The Government collects, by taxes, internal revenue, and duties on imports, fully three hundred millions each year. This is nearly tlirei times as much as is needed to pay the interest on all the debt, j and as soon as the war is ended, the amount not needed '. to pay tho interest w ill be used in paying off the debt. Our Oorernm nt ha tiric, pru t i.jf !! i(. ,Wl. and can easily do so again. The interest is sure to be paid promptly, and the debt itself is the very safest investment in the world. It is as safe as a mortgage on a ' good farm, and pays better interest. It is, in fact, a ' Firnt if-r3.j oh ail lands, all incomes, a!) railroad and canal bonds, and bank or other stocks, mortgages. Ac. Nothing can bo safer, for w are all bound for it. and all that we have is firmly held for the payment of prin.-ipal and inten-st. How foolish these people are, who keep their gold and greenbacks idle and locket up. or purchase mortgages on railroad stocks and bonds, which pay only o or 6 per cent, interest, w hen these Seven-Thirties pay i counting the premium on FiveTiveuties.) over ten per cent., and are so much safer i and surer. Vrt Quttii.m. How- many Seven-Thirties are there, j and how much remains unsold ? -lmvr.

The Indiana Legislature two years ago IJiledto pass any appropriation bills, 1 i'cause the Republican members of the 1 vor houe left their seats and refused tj return, and thus breaking a quorum in t ' at body. Thus no means were provi'd to meet the payment of the interest th the State debt. Gov. Morton, instead (' convening the Legislature in extra ?ssion, visits New York, where he made lirangements with Winslow, Lanier it (I)., by whicli they assumed the liabilities pjising from the interest on the State d 'bt becoming due. This firm did not j t y this dobt. but assumed it. On the ( . st of September last the Treasurer rf r.'. ate deposited in New York, subject to tie orler of Winslow, Lanier it (1t., rOO.000.

This amounts to out 83:,0ti0, which the taxpayers have pay, without receivingf any benefit nn it (Jov. Morton and his party ends are the only ones benefitted. We regret exceedingly that any Demoit should have a vote for this measure, lich is a robbery of the people. In is, as in other things we can but cornend the action of Hon. Jason 15.

A Democratic itor talking about the prodigality of ? present Legislature, in making appro iations to pay our honest debts, and almost the same breath condemning r. Morton for not convening the Legisure in extra session to make the ap opriations necessary for the payment the same debts, by which a much ger one would, in all probability, have en incurred. The debt due .Messrs. in&low ifc Lanier has been paid, and it i 4 useless to waste time upon this subject ; j It perhaps it is due these gentlemen to f j v that the Treasurer, Mr. Iiistine, was iliing to pay the interest on the State 1 1 nds, but was prevented from so doing Ij his securities ; and the interest was 1 Kid by Mestrs. Winslow fc Lanier, out f their owa private funds. Even if this 1 d not been the case, and the money MSi which the interest was paid had be1 jnged to the State ; by the action of the 11 -mocratic securities of Ristine, it would l,ive been a legitimate business transaction by Mr. Ristine, and Winslow and "joiner. The securities and Mr. Ristine liing responsible to the State for the oney insured her against loss.
