quantity aro kept in the naval arsenal. Tlie quays nro well and strongly built of limestone, with granite copings, under the superintendence of an English master mason. Along tho Eastern quay are ten large stone buildings, for storehouses, in course of construction, fivo of winch arc already finished. But all other works sink into insignificance at Sebastopol, before those projectdd'aml accomplished by Colonel Union, under immense engineering dificuities. They consist of a great fitting basin, into which open fivo dry docks,.-these at the end, and one oh each side of the entrance canal. As there is no tide, these docks aro above the level of the sea. and the ships are floated into" them .by locks, of which there are three, haying ariso of ten feet each.

The Golden KUIc.

Great Railroad Speed.

A.Simngc Theory. A writer in the Floridian andJnuriml mvs the tipper etratnm of Folida rests on one vast net work ,6f irrcgnlar arches of .stupendous magnitude,- through which innumerable'rivers, creeks nnd mineral waters in silent darkness perpetually flow. Wakulla, iOcilla, Wareissa', Costal, Ifoinosassa, Chcsioulska, Wickawatcha, and Silver Springs, are the principle rivers. The crooks of this denomination are too numerous to mention; most of them afford fine mill sites 1 , They arc, too, part- • 1y or wlioly navigable for the smaller class of steam and sail vessels throughout the entire distances of Utcir subterraneous conrses. Those fliat are not can he made so whlf compsritivcly small, trouble ami little expense. Tho same writer also says that, the number of mineral and'thermal springs in Florida is more than two thousand. Their principal solid ingredients ere the sulphate of lime, magnesia and soda, oxide and'iron, and some iodine. Their volatile ingredients consist of sulphurated hydrogen; carbonic -acid, and nitrogen gases.. These gases soon evaporate if the water W exposed in an open vessel to the atmosphere; its taste (hen becomes insipid, hi some instances citlicr magnesian*or acid. If Florida bo fo thickly imboded with mineral ores-, will it not clash with the theory of Prof. Agassiz, who says that florida was Will by the coral irann, and other marine ani? malculae, dnd that ft took one hundred Utonsatid/ycars to accomplish it.

We have some times thought that in this ago of conventions it might bo worth while to hold one for the purpose of securing a practiclo observance of the Golden Hulo, the theory of which has been universally assented to. And we have thought' if any community could be induced to make atrial of this rule for a month or oven a week, they would become so enamored of the state of things resulting therefrom that (hey would never go hack to the old system under which the world lias been living to-lorg. ■ A writer in the Boston Traveller has fallen into the same train of thought, and remarks with go’U stmd sense that the observance of the Vole, “Do as yon "would be done by," would produce the most surprising and del ightful effects. For example, such sights ns these would meet you ort every side. "Von would see a great deal of property at mice change hands; old debts wonld bo paid off, whether outlawed or not outlawed, whether the papers were burned up or hot burned up. 'Yon would see lands and houses belonging to Mr, Gripe quickly pass over to Mr; Type; you would see any quantity of borrowed books, umbrellas, and the Hko, returned to the legitimate and patient owners;yqu wonld see goods at once change their labels and and their prices; and men, and tvomcn, too, change their ■ employment . Yon would, reo rum-selling, and rum-buying as the lawyers have it, done away at once. ‘ Thor would not he a glass of liquor drank the whole’dayJpng, and many a cask and demijohn, would bo demolished. . "Gambling, and bettings and swearing, and shaving, and cheating, and puffiing, would entirely cease. There would be no lies told; Not one.’ Not one syllable of slander would be spoken; not .an’ unkind look bo given, not an unkind feeling entertained. , ; ! ■

Three Ilnxnur.D Miles Ter Horn.— A paper was lately road by Judge Meigs, before tho American Institute Fanner's Chib, at Kcw York upon tho subject of rapid railroad traveling, in which he said: ‘T ha vo with others, admired the progress made in velocity on railroads up to even one hundred miles an hour on straight Tails, which has been done in England. l|tit I entertain views of railroad velocity far beyond any yet ventured to be expressed. The Emperor of Russia has taken tho first groat slop towards what I deem the ultimatum of railroad travel. .

Tim port of Sebastopol consists of a bay running in a Southerly direction, about four miles long and a mile wide at the entrance, diminishing to 400 yards at the end, whero*the Tchcmah JleUhkcr, or Black River, empties itself. Hie average depth is about eight fathoms, the bottom being composed of mud in the centre and gravel at the sides. Ou tlie Southern coast of this bay are the comnlcrml, military. and careening harbors; the quarantine harbor being outside tlie entrance — all these taking a Southerly direction and having deep water.

The military harhuf is the largest, beiug about n mile and n-hnjf long, by 400 yard.-: wide,'and Is completely land-Mckcd on every side. Hero it is that tlie Black Sea fleet is moored in the Winter, the largest ships Icing able to lie with all their stores on board close to the quays. The small harbor, which contains the naval arsenal and docks, is on the Eastern side of the military harbor, ucar the entrance.

To supply the basin, and thence the canal, the water is brought eleven miles by a beautiful aqueduct of stone, into which the Black Sea has been turned beyond Ikermau. This passes at one part through an excavated tunnel, 900 feet long which is constructed on arches in tivo or six other places. The streets of Sebastopol, as may be expected, teem with soldiers and sailors; indeed, no one unconnected with these sendees lives there; and all but Russians arc discouraged or forbidden to do so; The Jews were at one time ordered' away from it entirely, but some few have been allowed to return. It was stated that no foreigners were permitted to remain there more than twenty-four hours; but during a sojourn of 10 days wo met with no interference, although we visited, and curiously examined, all parts of the town, and everything worth seeing in it.

The port is defended to tjio South by six principal batteries and fortresses, each mounting from 50 to 190 guns; and the nortli by four, having from IS to 120 pieces each; and beside these there are litany smaller batteries. | The fortresses are built on the casemate principle, three of them having three tiers of guns, and a fourth two tiers. Fort St. Nicholas is the hugest and mounts about 190 guns; it is built of white limestone; a tine sound stone, which becomes hard and is very durable, the sams material being used for nil the other forts. Between every two casemates arc furnaces for heating’*idiot red hot; the calibre of the gimsis eight inches, capable of throwing shells or 5S-ponud shot. At the period of our visit, there were certainly not more than S30 pieces of artillery defending the poit toward the sea, and of those about 3b0 could be concentrated ou a ship Entering the buy. Other batteries, however, are said to have been built since.

American Watch Making:.

The Boy that Dicil at Sunset.

America lias been gradually becoming comparatively independent-of Tpreigii importation. Thpro was a lime when IW ton imported all her church organs-; now she inannfaVtnres all .liar pun,, .ami supplies New I'higl and, a ml the. country, to a considerable extant. But in the articles nf watches, we have conlinuctl to import from Switzerland, France and Genoa. Bnt some enterprising Y ankoes of Boston, Messrs.. Howard & liavii, are aiming .to stop. this. Two dr three years ago they began the experiment of making a feuwatches intlieirestablishment at Boxbmy, which they have since removed to Waltham; They hare now 30 handsemployctl; end, U is said, make every part of* a watch, whether withgold or silver cases. I saw a silver watch of . their make," the dtlicr day. It was a very fair article, and judging from its excellent ‘ movement,-! must be a good liino keeper. The work is more simple and unique than that of fdrcigii watches; so’tbat ond is nmcli easier cleaned; • A foreign Svalch may be as rare a thing by And bye, in this count)v. as an imported organ or piano.

Tb^setting sun hath kissed h's cheek, > And hid the hoy good night; And there be lay so calm and meek, ,v Within the moon's pale light, lie thought the birds were singing As blithely as in day, White happy voices ringing, Were calling him to play—•'“Go tell them I am weary now, : v . And cannot play till morn; Then with my ball, and hoop, and bow,

«1 Mast Go.”

A common word and yet how full of meiuing! ‘The school bell is ringing!’ says the innocent little prattler at play, 'and 1 must goV ‘Thu hour of labor has come says the man of toil, and I must go!’ *A dying parishioner has sent for me, ‘says the clergyman, ‘and I must go * ‘Another weary, cheerless, thankless day calls mo to the sanctum, ‘says the editor, ‘and I must go!’ *1 have a heavy case on hand to-day, one demanding all my time and attention, ‘says the lawyer, ‘ami I must go!’—as if the universal motto of the age—is heard, echoed and reechoed, on every side, by young, high and low, rich end poor, happy and miserable. — 3j\Jl-» iu««t-ana young,. I\nd yet 1 the'restless, heaving, surginfi tide of humanity is never gone. We might, perhaps, introduce this expressive phase into many scenes of greater length and of more than ordinary interest; hut having other thoughts and other duties to look after, we too, ‘must go,* and be content with sketching one or two,‘Tis getting late, says the lover of the loved one, ‘and hid farewell for a long time to those charmed blissful hours, once more to mingle in the cares and perplexities of a bay world. Then straining her fondly to his bosom, and passionately pressing those sweet lips to his own, ho is gone—gone till those happy days may return, or, perchance, till he leads the gentle charmer of his life, a willing captive to the hymenial alter. Ouc.fihort.yearxolls round, and how changed the scene.; A wan, pale being of emaciated and tragilo form, is lying on her dying couch. The long weary days, and dreary nights have passed away. The insidious destroyer has done his work. Friends near and dear are around hot—hut these cannot arrest the hand of disease or postpone the parting hour. Feebly she raises her snowy hand. Hark! the angels are whispering, ‘Come, come! and I must go.* Countless shining .ones in white are wailing to welcome , mo‘I must go!; Farewell till wo meet in Heaven!’ The snowy hands fell lifeless, nerveless by her'side—a smile of inedible sweetness and beauty rests on those pallid, marble-like features, and she is gone—gone forever. Gentle reader like her, when the last of earth shall come, may you hear the welcome of whispering of angels; like:her, respond, T most go.’— Elndra jldvocuie.

All fretCnUnesa wad strife in families worild cease; brothers and. sisters .would for one day live in harmony; husbands and wives would forget llb'r differences; the young wpuld bo kind to the old folks at home—the old would Instruct 'with mild eanvily the young. Friends long separated by misumlcrsh'inclRhgwould come together again—neighbors would greet each other kindly., Let this golden rule,prevail, and the main current of conversation »nd behavior would bo changed. Cheerfulness would take the moroscncss; gentleness -place would take the place of falsehood; honesty would take the place of chicanery ; industry would take the place of idleness; sobriety, the place of intemperance; politeness the place of clownishness; love and goodwill the place of hatred and indifference.- . Tears of Bwbet affection would moisten many a sunken eye; smiles of happier days would mantle many a pallid check; and mellow tones of love would steal through many a bruised and carewornbcart. ■ Gentle reader, will yon ‘ be ono of the observers of this ‘'Golden Rule?”

TVfc-havb no doubt of one hundred miles per hour being a perfect!)-practica-ble railroad speed; by-Alio building of such railroads as those described by the Judge, and this, opinion wo expressed in the Scientific American some years ago 1 . But three hundred miles per hour Inclines us to the fogy;side of the question. This speed would require a piston velocity of.3,300 feet per minute, of eighteeninch stroke, if. the driving wheels: were twenty-four feet in circumference, (nearly eight feet in diametor—whoppers)' and they would have to make 1100 revolutions per the’ wheels caiinot turn around 'without steam, the qntiy with ns is, how to -raiso- the steam -necessary .to perforin this feat, as. tbo boiler would have, to evaporate about a ton of water per minute— $xty in the hour/. So far as it relates to the final velocity of steam in a vnamra,; the speed of three hundred miles per hour coaid boobtained, but bow can such a quantity of, steam be evaporated in a locomotive boiler, in this space of time?. Judge Meigs may perhaps, bo able to answer us. ;, With.rcspect to the velocity of ; bodics, our ideas are. bounded by wliat has .been performed before our eye—the flight of the swallow, the pigeon, the eagle: hut when’wo . look to the heavenly bodies and .calculate, the awful velocity wb’tb they arounccaiingly wheeled through space, the mind is struck with solemn awe at the mighty/power of the groat Creator, who has made huge Jufiitor to revolve on« on Ids, axis in ten more, and through space at the rate of 4635 miles per hoar; or fifteen, times tile velocity of a locomotive rtmning. 1 at'tlfe rate of 300 miles, an hour;— American. , _ ..

., Sebastopol is admirably adapted by .nature for a sfiong position toward -tho sea, and it will be seen fropi what we have stated above, tint this has been fully taken advantage of to rentier it one of the mo-t formidably fortdiod places in that direction which could be imagined. The town is aituatcd oil the point of land Itctwet’n.thc commercial and inilita-iy-lytrUai^;tvally? from the water’s o Ige tb ah elevation of 200 feet. It is more than d mile in length, and jit? greatest width is about tllive-quar-ters Of b mile, the streets entering tho open htcepc on the South. It was partly defended on the West toward the laud by a loop-holed wall, which had been pronounced by one of the Jirst engineers of Uuvsua-s pcifcvtly useless,*'and plans for completely foitifying the place in thatdiveclion were said to have been made; but whether iho work has since been carried out we know not, though we have a deep conviction that strong defences will be found to exist there by the time a besieging array arrives.

It is impossible to rolled upon flip men and things oftho American Involution, without being ready to apprehend that certain individuals wens -seemingly raised up to fill certain parts in the proceedings to be had for establishing the republic; such as Washington, for his cold, calculating discretion and palient.conrage; Franklin, for his wonderful mind - and profonnd knowledge ofthings; & Adams, for his zeal and skill in manageing men; J. Adams, for his energy; IPorrai, for his amiable devotion; jXutcecjt*, for his firmness; Jcjerson, for the; beautiful simplicity of Ids principles and talents; for his resources in timesof difficulty; JPulnam, for his blunt honesty; Gates, for his perseverance and sincerity; .Jfwync, for his im ; pctnosUy;.hW, for his- incorruptibility; Charles Thompson, for his fidelity; Henry, for his eloquence; Marion, for his enterprize; Morris, for Ids skill in/‘ways and means;" Hukinson, for his moderation—and so on through the list of heroes and sages, whoso names aro as lasting as the history of their country, and rccordcd ia the hearts of their countrymen j,, among whom is that of Chase, who first declared independence in congress, and "swore by the Almighty that ho owed no allegiance to the king of Groat Britain." All these, and many other characters were necessary’ to fill up thd various branches of business belonging to the stale of the times, and that they accomplished the work gloriously, is the pride arid boast of millions of freemem Eo age presents a more splended constellation of talents—none was over more conspicuous for integrity. With an abundance of the means of corruption at hand, which the enemy was disposed to use most freely, one, only one, prominent person wns’purchascd; and no one, having embarked in the revolution, ever drew back.

Natnro has, however, tuadd tho place so strong that, if the Jlussians hare fully availed themselves of tho facilities for defence, it might become a work of some difliculty to dislodge them; but it is very doubtful whether they have had sufficient lime to erect batteries wbioli could hold out long .against tho force that could bo brought to btar on tlicih. ‘ ■ The streets am built iii' parallel lines from North to South, and intersected by others from East to West; and the'houses, being of Iimd-stone, have a substantial appearance- The public buildings are fine.

There are many good churches, find d fine landing place of stone from the military harbor, approached on the sldo of tho town, beneath on architrave supported by high columns. It also boasts an Italian opera house. •
