SUBSCRIBER takes this method of informing the public, that, after many years of experience, he has succeeded in inventing a WATER WHEEL which he can powerful in performance with a given amount or head confidently recommend as being simpler in construction, more water, and more durable and less liable to get out of order than any Wheel now in use or heretofore offered to the public. This Wheel was patented on the 29th January, 1861. It being a packed Wheel, no water can escape and between conse- the top of the Wheel and the bottom of the case, of water is quently all loss of power from such escape avoided. Tais Wheel is a reaction, Wheel. It is of cast iron and is in construction that any mechanic can put it in simple after having once seen it done.

It will, with a 74 feet of water, grind from 12 to 40 bushels of Corn per hour, and is suited to any head of water from 2 feet inches upwards. of It has only six buckets and turns out 84 square amount water, being all that it requires for the performance of any labor. As above stated, this Wheel is patented, and I take pleasare in offering it to any person wanting a cheap, powerful and durable Water Wheel, adapted to grist mills, upright circular saw mills, cotton gins, factories, or any other kind of machinery in driving which water -power is used, furnishing sizes of Wheels from two feet upwards, adapted head of water. I will furnish and put in running order any Wheel attached to any person's mill for $75, or I a will sell the right to use one for $25. I will also sell County and State Rights.

From the Petersburg Express. The Burning and Desertion of Gosport Navy Yard by Lincoln's Troops! NORFOLK, April 21, 1861, p.m. Yesterday was an exciting day here. At an early hour Gen. Taliaferro was waited on an officer from the frigate Cumberland, and informed that the United States torces here did not mean to inaugurate bostilities against the citizens of Virginia, but desired only to be let alone.

If they were attacked, or their movements interfered with, force: would be met by force, and the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth would be shelled. 'This notice, it was added, was given that opportonity might be allowed for the removal of the women and children, if it was contemplated to commence hostilities. The caution was not needed, bowever, for the simple reason that being almost wholly unprovided with men suitable munitions of war, there was not the least likelihood that the Commanding General would incur the penalty of ordering an attack. Until the arrival of the Petersburg battalion last night the whole force under arms here did not number two hundred men, and even this small force was but indifferently supplied with means of defence. Of artillery, the arms most needed, four rifle cannon (6 pounders) and 1 two eighteen pounders comprised the whole amount that could be rendered available.

So urgent was the necessity for artillery felt to be that old cannon that have done duty at street corners as leaning posts, for balf" a century or more have been dug up all over the ed city, but being found worthless, as any one might have known, have of course been thrown aside again. It seems unaccountable that a place so important as this, should have been, in times like these, left so utterly defenceless. Of powder and fixed ammunition there is an abundant supply. You have already been informed by telegraph of the seizure of the naval magazine at Fort Norfolks last Friday night. By this seizure we have secured upwards of 3,000 barrels of powder and fixed ammunition.

Of this quantity about has been sent to Richmond and Petersburg, a portion to Hampton, and the balance is stored near this city, at present under the protection of, the Petersburg City Guard, Capt. May. It is pretty safe! Speaking of the Petersburg companies, I may mention here that their arrival last night was hailed with tumultuous delight. Their march up the street was triumphal in its features. Shouts and cheers rent the air, banners and handkerchiefs waved from every balcony, women welcomed them with smiles, and men with bearty greetings.

All felt safer for their presence. Reverting now to the enemy. All day long it was evident from proceedings in the harbor, that some anusual movement was about to be made, but its precise nature no one could determine. Everything, however, indicated a purpose on the part of the enemy, to abandon the Navy Yard, and destroy all the property that de could nut be removed. With the ebb tide, quantities of broken musket stocks floated past the city, and workmen from the yard reported that all the cannon had been spiked, and a general destruction of property was in progress.

Later in the day, it was discovered that the Germantown, Merrimac, Raritan, Plymouth, and Dolphin bad been scuttled, and that a pair of enormous sheers used for taking in and out the masts of vessels, and erected at. a cost of $15,000, had been cut down, crushing with their weight the stern of the Germantown, across which they were thrown. All these acts and others indicated a purpose to retreat. Just after dark to the surprise of all, and the dismay of many, the Pawnee steamed up the harbor and took position at the Navy Yard, where she was received with such shouts of rejoicing as could be distinctly heard in this city. Her arrival put a new face on matters.

It was rumored that she brought large reinforcements, and that the Yard would now be defended to the last extremity; but the reverse of this was her mission. She was sent to destroy not to protect. She brought with her 200 workmen from the Washington Navy Yard, and large quantities of turpentine to be used in firing the buildings. There is no doubt that it was the intention of the Government to make the work of destruction complete, but a panic seized on those employed to carry the design into effect, and much of the most valuable property was saved. Shortly after the arrival of the Pawnee, the military companies from Petersburg arrived, and as trains were kept running until a late hour in the night, an impression prevailed among the enemy that reinforcemeuts by the thousand were being thrown into the city, and that an immediate attack might be expected.

After that, the only thought was how to escape. It was a cunning device of President Mahone, that running of the trains, and he deserves credit for practising so successfully so shrewd a trick. About midnight the alarm was given that the Navy Yard was on fire, and sure enough there it was, a sickly blaze that seemed neither to diminish nor increase for several hours. This, however, was only the beginning. The tide was not yet favorable for the escape of the vessels, and would not be at flood until -break.

Meanwhile men were kept basy all night transferring everything of value from the Pennsylvania and the Navy Yard to the Pawnee and the Cumberland, and both vessels were loaded to their lower ports. At length 4 o'clock came, and with it flood tide. A rocket shot up from the Pawnee and then almost in an instant the whole front of the Navy Yard seemed one vast sheet of flame. The next minute streaks of flame flashed along the rigging of the Pennsylvania and the other doomed ships, and soon they were completely wrapped in the devouring element. The harbor was now one blaze of light.

The remotest objects were distinctly visible. The surging flames leaped and roared with mad violence, making their hoarse wrath heard at the distance of several miles. The people of Hampton and even those who lived beyond, saw the red light and thought. all Norfolk was a fire. It was certainly a grand, though terrible spectacle to witness, such an one as it is not given to man more than once in a life time to behold.

In the midst of the brilliance of the scene, the Pawnee, with the Cumberland -in tow, stole like a guilty thing through the harbor, fleeing from the destruction ste bad been sent to accomplish. But the work of vandalism was only half performed. The most valuable portions of the yard are still untouched, and are now the property of the State of Virginia. The only buildings destroyed are two ship houses, the officers' quarters, a sail loft filled with cordage, the marine barracks, and some few sheds. All the valuable workshops, with their machinery, the boat houses, spar houses, timber houses, with their costly contents, are all now in our possession.

The dry dock, constructed at so much expense, and the finest in the world, was doomed, but not destroyed. Forty barrels of powder were introduced into its chambers and slow match applied. But, as it would seem, by the interposition of Providence, this magnificent work was spared. The fire after burning a tew feet, went out, and did not ignite the powder. The dry dock is ours in perfect condition.

The machinery in the shops is also perfect the cutting of a few belts being the extent of the damage in flicted on it. The stores of costly timbers that it has been the work of years to accumulate, are all safe. Fifteen hundred pieces of the finest ordinance in the world, are comparatively unhurt. It is true that the greater number of them were spiked, but then the work was so clumsily performed, that the spikes for the most part can be removed without the least difficulty. Some of them can be picked out with the fingers.

Forty two were unspiked yesterday in the course of an hour. The shipping destroyed, except the Merrimac-which was a first-class steam frigate nearly new--was of no great value. The Pennsylvanian is no loss, as everybody knows. The Plymouth, Puritan and Dolphin had been condemned as unseaworthy. The Germantown though old was a fine frigate.

She can, however, be easily raised, as can all the others without any great expense. The Pennsylvania is utterly destroyed. The were burnt only to the water's edge, having been previously sunk. The Plymouth was not burnt at all. officers were made prisoners this morning, Com.

Rodgers, of the Navy, and Capt. Wright, of the Engineering Corps of the Army. They were much frightened when brought ashore, fearing the violence of the mob which instantly surrounded them. But being placed under the protection of a company of soldiers they were taken to the General's Headquarters at this hotel -the Atlantic--without any demonstration of violence or insult on the part of the They now have the privilege of the hotel on their parole. They denounce the destruction of the property as barbarous and vandal; but say they were obliged to obey the orders of their government.

They declare that the utter demolition of everything that could not be removed was in their orders, and but for the appre- bension of immediate attack by an overpowering force, the command would bave been carried out to the letter. It was in contemplation to ruin the drydock, the machine shops and other structures, and whelm everything in one common ruin. But this plan could not be carried out for want of time. Accident precipitated matters somewhat too. A Sergeant of the marines named Myers, knowing what was to take place, and not wishing to be carried off with his company, set fire to the barracks before the appointed time, and endeavored to escape in the confusion.

He succeeded, but was shot at several times while scaling the walls. This circumstance created a lack of confidence in their own men, and fearing an attack from without, they discontinued the preparations for firing the buildings but marched the men aboard the ships and waited for the tide. Thus was property to the value of several millions saved. Officers Rodgers and Wright were separated from their commands when the conflagration was started and rushing to the landing found communication with vessels cut off. They then made all haste to the main entrance way which, when they reached, they found enveloped in flames, through which they had to make their way at the risk of their lives.

Going down to the river they seized a boat and started in pursuit of the retreating ships but passing the ferry landing at Portsmouth, they were beaded off: by a boat from shore, which fired on them, and they then made for Ferry Point where they were captured. The utmost confusion it seems prevailed in the yard all day yesterday, and all last night. 'The truth is everybody was drunk from Commodore Ma caulay the commandant down. The Commodore was so drunk as to be incapable of any duty, and had to be borne to the ship on a litter. Nearly every officer, it is reported was having a high old time.

It seems we bave a swilling set opposed to us, even those filling the highest stations. A gentle man arrived here this mording, who, with several others, was arrested while passing through Washington, for being Southerners, and taken into the presence of the august Baboon. He declares that Lincoln was 80 drunk that he could scarcely maintain his seat in the, chair, and it was notorious in Washington, that he had been in a state of beastly intoxication for more than thirty-six hours. The man is scared nearly to death, and few people in that city are in any better condition. All day yesterday soldiers and citizens were busy erecting batteries on points below the city.

The Naval Hospital bas been taken possession of, and there the South Carolinians are to be quartered. Some twenty sick were in it, who are. suffered to remain, and will be properly taken care of. At this point an iron battery is to be erected. Sand batteries are in process of construction there now.

Guns were mounted at old Fort Norfolk, and preparations are making for constructing batteries, on Craney Island. In a few days, with the means now at command, this harbor will be efficiently protected. 'The Petersburg companies take their share of -the labors, and work with cheerfulness and spirit. All well.

MEDICUS. Destruction of Buildings and Property at Harper's Ferry. We learn I by a passenger who arrived in Richmond on Saturday that John Seddon, (member of the Virginia Legislature from Stafford county,) had been detailed with a body of Virginia troops to visit Harper's Ferry, and proceeded to that place on Friday last. When Mr. arrived at Harper's Ferry, the citizens of that place, under the impression that the State authorities were about to make an unlawful seizure of their property, to the number of some two bundred and fifty or three hundred, opposed the supposed invasion of their rights.

On the arrival of three bundred Virginia troops, the Federal troops fearing they would be overpowered, fired the armory and evacuated it. As soon as this was done, the citizens of Harper's Ferry saw the mistake they had made and with the State troops rushed torward to extinguish the fire and save the property within the armory, which they succeeded in doing in a great measure. All of the machinery was saved uninjured, and 5,000 of the improved patent muskets were saved, and are now on the way to Richmond. All of the buildings at Harper's Ferry, and 9,000 of the old smooth-bore muskets were destroyed. There are now 2,300 State troops guarding Harper's -Richmond Enquirer, 22d inst.

That fearless and patriotic journal New York Day Book," in some severe commenta upon the facts stated by the Argus calls attention particularly to the course of Lincoln himself on the flobr the Congress of the United States, on the subject Mexican war.
