DAILY REE PRESS MORNING SEPTEMBER 25 Democratic Nomination Bay last Good Taste The average number of persons who have visited Greek slave per day since its arrival in New is said to be six hundred Two thousand dollars the proceeds of the exhibi tion has already been remitted to Powers YVe understand from the State Treasurer that the funds have been sent forward by him to the Phcenix Bank New York for the payment of the interest of January and July 1847 on the adjusted and acknowledged portion of the million of this state the Ra Replevin Cash At the term of the Circuit Court for Erie County held at Buffalo on the 22d inst there came on for trial a cause of an ac tion of replevin brought by Stuart March and others merchants in New against Lester Brace former Sheriff' of Erie county to recover a quantity of merchandize which they claimed the right to stop in transitu It appeared from the evi dence in this case that a Mr Kent of Michigan merchant purchased the goods in question of the and when the goods arrived at Buffalo they were taken by virtue of an attachment issued un der the new imprisonment act of that State by Titus Co also merchants in New York and that after the goods had been so attached the plaintiffs de manded the goods of defendant who held them as sheriff by virtue of said attachment and on his re fusing to deliver them brought this action And having got possession of the goods sold them to a Mr Barker who delivered them to Kent and that Kent then proceeded to Michigan his place of busi ness with the goods and sold them in his regula business and transmitted part of the money arising from the sale to the and also some to Barker who was engaged on the Welland Canal in Canada It was contended on the part of the defendant that the plaintiffs could not recover as this was all a fraudulent transaction on the part of plaintiff and Kent to get possession of the goods and thereby prevent Titus Co from collecting their debt but the plaintiffs had a verdict Wesleyan Seminary We are gratified in learn ing that the YVeslvyan Seminary at Albion Calhoun Co commences its winter term in a flourishing con dition The catalogue numbers 91 gentlemen and 63 Ladies The Central Roar paid for The Central Railroad Company on Thursday made their final payment to the Treasurer of the balance due the state for the sale of the road The payment amounted to about 225000 and included some $174000 of the unacknowledged bonds of the state at the rate of $302 73 on a thousand also about $5000 of the internal improvement warrants The well known enterprise energy and high re spectability of the company in whose hands the road now is and the continuation of it to the shores of Lake Michigan will add much to the wealth and importance of our state and we trust form a profita ble investment to the stockholders are The 05" The Baltimore Sun one of the most ener getic and ably conducted papers inexistence comes to us in an entire new dress We are glad to see such demonstrations of prosperity on the part of our brethren of the press A Land Office The Green Republican says Since Monday morning the 13th inst the Land Office has been crowded at all hours of the day The receipts of the past week we have heard estimated at over one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars! and yet it seems as if there is to be no cessation of the entering of lands Of course it is a rich harvest for the Register and iremen their Rewards We clip the follow ing deserved compliment to the conquerors of the devouring element from an adress delivered by Ward Smith Esq before the Rochester firemen It is justly applicable to our bwn ever prompt and gallant department: Wherein then is your reward Not merely in the gratified love of risk of excitement of emulation of applause of that esprit du crops which characteri zes you These motives are not sufficient to explain your self denial iremen can not equally with soldiers attract admiration by the splendor of their equipments or the precision and intricacy of their evolutions nor generally do their individual exer tions and sufferings find reporters yet must they be always on the alert for fire is a friend ever threat ning to become a foe a foe latent in the atmos phere we breathe with whom there may be an armis tice never a lasting peace No! your reward con sists as well in the consciousness of doing well as in the gratitude of your fellow citizens If the dread of fire disturbs the tranquility of the citizen as he retires to rest it is but momentary He remembers your well disciplined companies your strong arms and your generous zeal and he resigns himself to slumber confiding in your skill and experience to preserve his property from dis traction and his family from privation All must be grateful for that protection which extends alike to the meanest hovel and the most costlv edifice Thus employed in bestowing benefits the fireman has the noblest feelings of his nature in constant exercise selfishness gives way to generosity and public spirit and he will generally be found ready to participate in any sacrifice necessary to the best interests of community Exchange The ree Press urges the establishment of a Exchange in the City of Detroit We certainly hope to see the re commendation carried into effect It would be a great advantage to trade in this State Coldwater Sentinel more especially wtis to ascertain the relative difference of the cost between water and steam as a motive power to drive machinery This they have ascertained iir their investigations of cotton mills and they have a)eo ascertained to their entire satisfaction the adaptation of steam power to the manufacture of cotton fabrics This question being settled another of equal mo ment suggests itself to every reflecting mind Ari' equal advantages to be derived from steam in the manufacturing of woolen goods? It is conceded by all with whom your committee conversed on the subject who have had any practical experience in the manufacturing of woolen goods by steam power that the advantages are as great if not greater than that of cotton particularly in scouring and finishing the goods and many believe that the same quality of goods manufactured in a steam mill will com mand at least 5 per cent more in market if this opinion is predicated upon fact then it follows as a matter cf course that steam has a decided advantage over water power in the manufacture of woolen goods for the amount of goods made in a miff of 8 setts of machinerv would not be less than $250000 per annum If this amount of cloth brings 5 per cent market more than the same quality of goods manufactured by water power the result would be a nett gain of $12500 per year It mav be expected that the committee will say something in relation to the profits derived from the various steam mills which they visited so far as any dividends have been made public although ap parently extravagant they feel authorized to reite terate: for instance the Essex Mill at Newburyport has declared and paid a large dividend on the capi tal stock of the company the past year There is also another steam mill which they visited that has declared a large dividend In relation to other mills the committee can only speak in general terms that they have all without a single exception been doing a prosperous business and bave made hand some dividends It is an admitted fact that labor is the basis of prosperity or in other words that the advantageous employment of labor in any given location contri butes largely to the prosperity and advancement of all the varied interests of such location It is in such places and under such circumstances that cap italists seek an investment of their surplus funds The committee will instance the town of Newbury port whicn but a few years since prior to the erec tion of steam mills in that place was in a state of dilapidation but since those mills have gone into op eration business has assumed altogether a different character freehold estate has been rapidly advan cing and capitalists in other places have there sought investments It must strike every one from this region of coun try with perfect astonishment to behold the advance ment and general prosperity of the eastern cities and villages in a country of complete sterility com pared with the county of Oneida and all this pros perity may be attributed mainly to the power of machinery put into operation by the enterprise of the people and this too in a country where the ma terials for binding are are at least thirty per cent higher than in Oneida county not only are mate rials for building higher but provision and labor are much higher and the fuel for steam mills if coal is used is equally high and wood a hundred percent higher Under all these disadvantages they cannot successfully compete with the same degree of enter prise directed to the same objects in a more favored community And what is here said of Newbury port may be justly said of every place your commit tee visited Since the publication of this report a steam wool en factor' has been put into operation at Utica with a capital of $200000 And although the ap plication of steam power to the manufacture of woolen goods was a matter of experiment this being the first instance in this country the compa ny were enabled at the end of the first year to de clare a dividend of 20 per cent It was found that the steam generated after being employed to pro pel the machinery could be used to warm the build ing thus avoiding the expense of fuel and the dan ger from fire: and that many of the processes of the manufacture were facilitated by the employment of steam In the manufacture of woolens Detroit would possess decided advantages over inland eastern ci ties from the fact that it is or will soon become a larger mart for wool and will afford a better market for cloths Thus the manufacturers will have the advantage of the best market for procuring the raw material will save the expense of transportation to New York and as the manufactured article can be afforded cheaper and of better quality than that ob tained at the east they will be enabled lo realize an additional profit by having a home market for their fabrics Education of Indians at Albion The YVes leyen Seminary atAlbionhas set an example which we hope to see followed in other institutions of learn ing in this and the other Western States They have an Indian Department and furnish instruction in all branches We believe this is the first and only one at the west Rev Mr Smith is engaged in raising funds for it at the east The names of theStudents now

us pleasure to state that several business menhave the matter tin er consideration Yesterday an eastern gentleman who is engaged in the manufacture ol woolens cal led on us and gave it as his full opinion that after much deliberation and investigation that steam power would be cheaper in this section than water taking into consideration all things connected with the manufacture of woolen fabrics A friend who feels much interest for the prospe rity of our citv has left upon our desk the report of the committee appointed to investigate the relative difference of the cost of the motive power of water and steam as applicable to manufacturing This committee wes appointed at a meeting of the citi zens of Utica previous to the erection of several steam factories there They visited eastern States expressly on that businees We ther the following particulars from it: They first visited Newport I where there two large cotton mills operated by steam agent Mr Westcott was free to impart informa tion He was acquainted with all the details of both water and steam power as applicable to the manu facturing of cotton goods having been engaged in mills with water power for 20 years and for the last nine years with the Perry Steam Mill rom him they obtained the following particulars: The size of this mill is 200 feet long by 50 wide and contains 7727 spindles 227 looms 42 carding machines 24 inches wide They employ 200 ope ratives Their capital is $102000 The expense of engine boilers about $5 000 thev consume about 4200 pounds of coal per day He says the present improved machinery would consume much less Mr Westcott says that a factory got up upon the most improved plan would cost exclusive of the buildings about $7000 per one thousand spindles In answer to the inquiry about the relative advan tages of water over steam power he said that he would not take water power five miles from naviga ble waters as a gift in fine he considered steam the best motive power in the world for manufacturing fine cotton goods for other kinds of goods he had no expernice and the reasons he assigned for this were first that fine cotton goods were better to be manufactured in a humid atmosphere secondly you always had a sufficient power thirdly the ex pense of keeping it in running order was not near as much and fourthly and lastly you could build your mills in cities where you were not under the necessity of erecting a village for the accommoda tion of your mills but where boarding houses were already built to vour hand and also you could build on navigable waters and another advantage you could always get help and keep them in a city ea sier and he believed cheaper than in the country at least this has been his experience In answer to the question Has the investment been a profitable one to the he said it had the mill he said had been in operation eight years and a half and it had paid to the stockholders large dividends They next visited the Pokanoket Mill at Bristol a little village fifteen miles from Newport on the road to Providence This mill is conducted by John Norris Esq who is also a large stockholder He had not been engaged in the business but about three years and never in a water mill consequently could not give them the information which they sought but says he knows enough about the busi ness to satisfy himself in relation to water and steam power and is confident that it would be better to build a steam mill on navigable waters than to have a water privilege given and build five miles from navigation The next place the committee visited was the Providence Steam company Mill at Providence Rhode Island under the agency of a Mr isher a gentleman of intelligence and practical experience and here as in every other plqce they visited eve ry facility was given to further the object of their mission This mill contains 10028 spindles 240 looms 67 cards a part of which are 18 inches and a part 24 inches and they contemplate adding to this mill in the month of September four thousand spindles more The capital stock of this company is $200 000 this includes the mill and an extensive machine shop employing about 60 hands The amount of coal consumed per day to run this mill and the ma chine shop is about 2 tons The number of ope ratives employed in the mill is about 220 The wa ges of the engineer is $1 50 per day the fireman receives $1 25 per day The engine in this mill is from sixty to eighty horses power The ave rage number of yards of cloth manufactured per day is 3820 of fine fabric worth when bleached 11 cents per yard and the agent believes that the same goods of like material manufactured in a water mill will not bring as much per yard in market from an eigth to a fourth of a cent and he is intimately acquainted with the application of the motive power of both in the making of cotton goods emales that attend the carding department work by the day and receive 34 cents: spare weavers which to take the place of any that maybe taken sick receive $3 50 per week spare trimmers also are kept to supply places and they receive $2 34 per week The residue of the wea vers and all the spinners work by the job and the average amount of their earnings is $4 51 per week These statistics are all taken from the books of the company It is due to all from whom the com mittee sought information to say that there appear ed nothing that they desired to withhold from your committee even the profits of the several concerns which (in most cases) were not small were freely communicated They next called on a Mr Kelly who is largely concerned in several mills at Longdale about 6 miles from Providence and has also the general su pervision of the whole he informed them that for some tinfC he had made the operation of steam pow er upon cotton machinery a study and he was so well satisfied of its utility and advantages that if he could dispose of his water mills he should invest the avails in steam mills in the city of Providence and the reasons he assigned were simply location and the certainly of a sufficient motive power at all times to keep the machinery in operation Your committee proceeded from Providence to Newburyport at which place there are four cotton mills all driven by the power of steam viz: the James Mill the Bartlett Mills Nos 1 and 2 and the Essex Mill and they are at this time erecting two more spacious mills at the same place This is the re sidence of Gen Charles James a gentleman the oretically and practically acquainted with the ope ration of steam power upon machinery With this gentleman vour committee had an interview and although it may be said as a general rule that any man who has devoted several years to the study of one particular object would naturally be prejudiced in favor of that object nor do your committee sup pose that Mr James is an exception to the general rule but from the very short acquaintance the com mittee had with Mr James they were favorably impressed with his manner his disinterestedness and his entire frankness he appeared to be entirely familiar with his business: and seemed unwilling to suppress any information that would in the least degree contribute to render their mission serviceable to the citizens of Utica He presented his views of the advantages of steam over water power in a clear and comprehensive manner and gave it as his opi nion that steam power all things considered was as cheap or cheaper than water power It may be well to say that the investment in these mills thus far has been profitable to the stockhold ers An article in one of the Boston papers in refer ence to the Essex Mill at Newburyport uses the following language: This mil during the last two years has been under the management of James Reed Esq of Boston and Mr Benjamin Saunders of Newburyport and to their thorough knowledge of the business and prudent management is its great success oAving' One thing it would seem safe to assume that they have demonstrated beyond cavil and that is the equality if not the superiority of steam over water powerTheir operatives make good wages more than they could realize even in the present prosperous times in any other department of labor and yet their cloth is made as well and as cheaply as at any watermill in the i The objeet which the committee had in charge Are we to have Peace This is a question the decision of which is looked for with great interest Our army has thus far vic toriously marched through most of the strong holds of Mexico conquering every thing on its way and is now triumphantly in the very heart ot the ene mies country at the gates of the great city once more tendering to them the olive branch YV for one sincerely hope that peace may ensue that the shedding of blood may here terminate and a speedy adjustment of all differences take place At ever step of our victorious army has the same olive branch beeirextended and as often obstinately and stubbornly rejected by the blinded Mexicans led on under the guidance of various factions and en couraged and comforted by the YV hig opposition in our Congress And adopting the language of the Union if peace now fail to come the responsi bility of war prolonged will lie heavy on the lead ers of that party among us by whom Mexico has been deceived into the hope of aid and succor At their hands an indignant people will justly require account of the treasure which new armies may cost and of the precious blood which new battles may cause to flow And upon Mexico too if her obsti nacy or artifice or treachery shall defeat our pre sent negotiations the burdens of war must full with new and crushing power YVe believe that our government and our people are alike unani mous in the opinion that if our propositions of peace be now rejected there is no longer room nor encouragement on our part for the policy of conciliation YVe must offer the oiive branch no longer The war must be resumed at once and with new vigor Its burdens must be thrown at once upon the conquered YVe must levy severer contributions Its pressure must be severely felt and while we conduct our military operations with that strict ana scrupulous regard to the laws of war which becomes a free and Christian people and which an American army can never forget our enemy must yet be made to know that to him the continuance of war which he elects is only the continuance of calamity loss and humiliation By such a course alone can we hope to secure a peace if Mexico shall prove by the defeat of the present negotiations that her agreement to nego tiate is only a treacherous pretence to gain time for new measures of hostility OR LIEUT GOVERNOR WILLIAM ENTON GENESEE

in the course of the forenoon sauntered from our hotel in search of a book store in quest of some new work to while away our spare hours After riding through the mud and a con siderable search we found the sign of Wells Hook seller and Stationer YVe entered and found the store well supplied with stationery but works of a miscellaneous character were missing This sup ply was very limited and the reason gave for their absence was that but few of the citizens at that time were of a literary disposition the population of the territory then being small and the rench set tlers giving hut little heed to the current literature of the day This was in 1832 Emigration soon commenced rapidly and Mr Wells began to fill his shelves with works on all general subjects About that time Mr Alexander II Stowell commenced the business of Bookselling and for the then sparse population his stock of reading matter was some what large Mr YVells died in 1834 In tho fall of that year Messrs Snow isk opened a store for the same business with a very large and exten sive stock the number of volumes on their shelves numbering thousands composing works in every department of literature The same season Mr Legrand Morse purchased the stock of the Wells store and added largely to it and Mr John son took the store of Mr Stowell Our city then possessed an extensive stock of books superior to many of the older cities at the cast Travellers in their visits to our then Territory were surprised at that time to find conclusive evidence of the intel ligence of the new settlers in supporting such large establishments Mr Morse and Mr Johnson both soon after were gathered to their fathers Messrs Burger Stevens taking the place of Mr Morse In 1836 the Messrs Baggs opened another book store which is now continued by A Bagu On the death of Mr isk the establishment of Snow) Risk was disposed of to Sidney Rood who continued it some years Mr is now at Mil waukie in the same trade In 1837 or 8 Messrs Aymar 8c Shaw opened a house for the same busi nes and Alexander Mcarran also commenced the business and still continues it Mr John Herrick soon after went into the trade and after wards it was McKinzie Herrick and now con Mr McKinzie Mr Chauncey Morseopen ed another store for the same trade which he now continues Roon Co soon after went in to the stationery branch of the trade which they now continue Yesterday on passing down YVood ward avenue we noticed another store for the sale of books opening Ongoing in we found our old friend Morgan Bates formerly of the Advertiser busily engaged in regulating the shelves who with Mr Burns of New are receiving a full supply of the late works of the day and intend to feed the appetites of book mongers to rich treats There are now in the city six book stores Tho business from the small beginnings of Mr YVells in 1830 has now got to bean extensive branch of trade and no small one either The supplying of the State population of 350000 inhabitants has not only been a good business in this city but most every village of any size now has its book depot It is calculated by those who have given attention tot he matter that since the era of cheap publications has commenced that reading by all classes in this coun try has increased a hundred per cent May it go on with equal ratio dyThe Concert of MadameAblamowicz last eve ning at the
