fMTOtifl, ««. 9, MARION AND HIS MEN. \ It ii eaid that Marion ofton en- amped at The Ouks, the owners, the Middh tons, having heen from the first devotod patriots. And this brings op again Marion and Marlon's men, a little band who probably never dreamed that they were to go down on the page of history embalmed in poetry And romanco and song, figures strong In local South Carolina coloring, and jet known all over the country almost *8 widely as George "Washington him* elf. Gcq. Francis Marion, who, as the angry# and harassed British officer complained, "would not fight like a Christian and a gentleman," belonged to the Huguenot colony , of the Snntoe, north of Charleston, the lame Santee that owned those High Hills. On the formation of the Ttevo- ] lutionary Army of Carolina Marion was made a Captain in the regiment ammanded by Moultrie; he rose to * Colonelcy before the evacuation of Charleston, and, escaping the fate of prisoner of war which fell to Moultrie and many other officers, he collected , the fragments of his regiment together ( 1a the recesses of the swamps and j from that moment became a dread to , the whole British Army in the South. , Marion made war in his own way; ( now here, and now there; now seen, j bow gone, he was like a meteor in the ( night, and the sucoesses stained bv hia . extraordinary swiftness and daring j eemcd marvelous alike to friend t »pd foe. He selected young men for { band, generally from his own neighbors of French descent; he lived la tli© swamps; he swam rivers on horseback; his favorite encampmont was a cane-brake. Ho did not wait (or all his troops, but sallied out frequently with only ten or twelve; he took saws £rom the saw mills, and turned them into swords; he frequently engaged when ho had but three * rounds to a man. Scouts wore kept out constantly, and when yrord wop brought in of a small party of the enemy anyw here, then forth went Marion's men, like lightning after them. It was said that he was so secret In his plans that his own soldiers had no Idea when they were to be called out, and that their only way of tcnowing was to watch tho negro cook; when the old man was seen cooking a little store of the poor food which was their only fare, then they prepared for departure. Marion's favorite |ime for Parting was sun&et, and then the march tastad nil n!<rht xfnvmr, men.br&v*, shoeless, raggod, blanketIms, gallant little baud.the following U a verse or one of the many songf that were m&do about you: "Our band is low, Lat true and tried.

An Ingenious Dkvioe..An ingenious Preneh device lor removing wntor produced by the condensation ol steam in pipes, is among the recent indentions, and consists of an entrance pipe, an exit pipe for the water, and :i float balanced by a counter weight and resting on the surface of water which accumulates in the lower part of the vessel. The action of the mechanism is entirely automatic. As the float is raised by the addition of water, i pinion on the shaft, on which its rod turns, engaging in a rack, elevates a slide valve, and so opens the escape Driftee. The water then flows out until the float falls low enough to shut the valve once more. It is suggested that a device of this kind, attached to th« «tpjim-lir>ntimr iiP a building, would doubtless prevent that iisngreeable clucking and hammering duo to the water forming in the [>ipes, and the consequent injury io the latter arising from repeated itrains. Utii-izaI'ion of "Waste Thread.. The utilization of waste thread in the manufacture of textile fabrics is now lompletely effected, it is said, by a foreign Ldevieo recently introduced. The object is accomplished by simply returning the waste threads to the jondensing carding engines by means )f mechanism, the greater part of which is attached to ono of tho sorib-' >lers in preference to the last. Over lie end of the earding-engino rollers ire lixed, over which rollers the waste lll'nflfl frnm nno 1-1.1 «p1 * 1 "VIA* VA4W OUIU VI 11LU UUglllO sonducted to the other side, and the [ ,breads from the two sides of the en- jino thus brought sido to side. The vaste threads are taken up by or coiled ipon a roller or spool driven by any lonveniont gearing from the carding sngine or otherwise. Tho roller, when bus lilled with waste threads, is con- j reyed to the scribbler.and made to * >ear or rest on a second roller or Irum; the latter has a slow, uniform 1 otary motion communicated to it, by j neans of which the waste threads are miformly delivered into the sliver as t comes off the scribbler. Tho sliver n this operation passes to tho conlensing carding engine in the usual vay. The Interior of tub Earth.. A j Danish geologist asserts his belief hut tho interior of the earth is coupled by currents of Jvarious de- frees of heat, and that these mix with aeh other and attain a certain degree >f temperature, in the same manner is substances subject to all the physical influences of the earth's oxterior. L'his theory, in other words, asserts he well-known fact thut a muss of luid possessing different temperatures n different parts of its interior mu-it >e subjected to convection, the result >eing, usually, a change of volume in he entire mass of circulating fluid. L'his change is capable of being oborved in ordinary experiments, and nay also effect tho vol mm* «f luicl matter in the interior of the earth, irovidel the changes of temperature >f the fluid uro sufficiently great. It 3, however, the opinion of the most miuent geologists: that the refrigeraion of tho earth is now so extremely 1 low as tO.rcuAci* it cjulU^-umrtttfltty'that my considerable changes of volume arising from this causer aould hav# *uk«;u place within recent pcilo>la. rRKVENTINO ESCAPE OP HKAT. ; Experiments havo been made in France to ascertain what kind of coaV lug best prevents the escape of, heat from steam-pipes. After numerous trlak* it was found that chopped straw was tho best, and that it reduced tho lops of heat by radiation from tho bare pipes sixty-six por cent. .The next best way is a pottery pipe targe epoj4gU tp cover the steam-pipe and leave an pir space; tho pottery waa coated on thp outside with loamy earth and chopped ptrfvw, kept in plaoe by straw bands twisted round tho pipe. This reduced tho loss sixty-one per ceht. The next was cotton-waste^ which, wrapped round thp stoam*plpe to an inch thick, reduced the loss fifty* one per cent. The next waa waste fojt from printing maohines, under whicfe cne reduction wjis forty-eight per cent,; and the last was forty-five per cant, with a plaster made of cows' hair and clay. Experiments made with .a view to test the effect of oolor showed that the coatings when painted white reducod the loss a further seven per uent.

Tho military contributor of thi .Cologne Gazette observes, in an article on the navlds of the Moditerra nean,that by far tho strongest nava* power on that sea is Turkey. All the Ronclads of her fleet are of recent con ruction, and most of thom havo >mo from the best English ship- builders; tho Gorman ironclad Konig IVilhelin was originally built for tho Turkish Government. The plates of tho Turkish ironclads aro from 5 1-2 to ' 8 inches thick (two of the caseuiato » ships havo D-ineh plates), and thoy aro i armed with 8-inch and D-ineh Woolwich muzle-loaders, and Krupp breech-loaders. Turkey has four ironclad frigates of 3,050 horso ' power and 64 guns, six casemate ships 1 each of 700 horse power and 5 guns, ] and threo turret-ships of 1,200 horso ( power and 11 guns, making in all fif . teen ironclads with 9,250 horse powcx and 116 guns. To these should be ( added three ironclad gunboats of 210 : horso power and six guns on tho Danube, and two ironclad gunboats | on the Lake of Scutari, each with 60 i horso pever and two guns. Tho screw I ships are Also for tho most part well built and oquipped. They consist of four ships of the line, thirteen frigates and corvettes, twenty-two avisos, and i twenty-seven gunboats and coasting vessels, besides 101 transport ships, all Itxrge and mostly well armed. The actual strength of the available fleet of Russia on the Bluclc Sea cannot at ' present tbe accurately estimated, but the writer thinks there can be no doubt that it is far inferior to that of the Turkish fleet. Austria has fout ironclad cascmato ships of 3,600 horso 1 power and 60 guns, and seven iron- ' clad frigates of 4.050 horso nowor nnH ' 980 guns. Three of these ships, however, are now being rebuilt, und most of the others do not fulflll tho requirements of modern navul warfare, either , ns regards the thickness of their plates or tho calibre of their guns. This re- , mark applies even more to the Italian ( ironclad ships, soverul of -.which are to be sold by auction this month, in or- . der to obtain funds for constructing ^ new ones more suitable to modern re- \ quirements. V \ NOVEL TlllLiTMKNT FOR WOUNDS. Huving noticed ail account of the 1 somewhat novel treatment, recently applied in tho case of u wound, we v addressed u note of inquiry to the gentleman named, Mr. A. K. Smoot, a commission merchant of Baltimore, and re- ! ceived a reply, a portion of which, with permission, wo copy. Mr. Smoot says under -date of September 22: j, a'- .' * vii uio Yin 01 tno present month I accidentally jumped, from an elevation of threp or four feet on a largo nail or v spike driving it about two and x a*half inches through my foot. This ,] happened in the morning, and toward evening the foot commenced ; swelling and the pain iucreased, so much so that it was with difficulty my u physicians, Drs. Atkinson and War- t ner, could relievo mo by tho use of tho c strongest narcotics. I slept but little c during tho night. Tho next day the e Barne treatment was continued, with I the application of a hop poultice to the u wound. Ou |tliat day I received a card « signed 'Sympathizer,' stating that the »i smoke from burning wool or woolen o rags would immediately relieve tho (1 pain, and stop tho inflammation. The directions wore to smoke tho wound ' twenty minutes at a time, repeating ^ the cporation two or three times I ' accordingly took a piece of woolen blanket, and after making a lire in an I1 Iron pot I smothored it with pieces ^ of the cloth and held my foot in the , mfc.i- DU1UK.B. j.1113 soon relieved the pain, \ the swelling went down, and up to the present time tliero lias been scarce- , iy any inilummation; a iittle bloody t" water has escaped from the sore, but y that is all. My physicians approved tJ of the treatment, and I well know it. relieved me of pain, and lias proved a great advantage in the healing of the wound. I am now able to walk, and . the wound is doing well. I applied * the smoke once every day, and by the advice of my physicians continued the hop poultice. The treatment with the smoke is said to be applicable to all wounds arising from bruises, cuts, 15 nails, and the like, and I hope it l' may prove Injudicial to others.". u Uerulil of Health. a a It UNDEROnOUND TELEGRAPH LlKEB.-.

A \ TIIK NEW HEAI> OF THE TREASURY. l'oKlimiMtct'-Gcucrul Ciresham Appointed (« Succeed Secrctnry K<*r. \V ASlllNtlTON, September 25,-rd lldge NV. Q. (Jreshnm, postuiaritcr-gciieral, received a telegram from the president after ll o'clock last night informing him of his appointment to the secretaryship of the treasury. Ye immediately qualified and sent to the piesident his restitution as postmaster-general. At ten o'clock this morning Mr. (iresham went to the treasury department with Secretary Chandler. His designation from the president as given to him by Mr. O. L. Pender, assistant private secretary to the president, and his commission by the third assistant secretary of state, A. Adee. The two assistant secretaries of the treasury, French and Coon, were present and tendered him their congratulations. The new secretary will leave here this afternoon to consult with the president. IJnoer the law the first assistant postmaster-general, Hatton, becomes acting post master-general for ten days. The president to-day designated assistant secretary Coon to act as secretary of the treasury during the absence or sickness at any time of secretary Urcsham. Mr. Coor. was also authorized by the secretary to sign in his stead all warrants for the payment of money into the public treasury, and all warrants for the disbursement from the public treasury of money certified by the proper accounting ollicers of the treasury. Similar authority to sign warrants during the absencs or sickness of assistant secretary Coon was v . n"" " to assistant secretary French. All the bureau and division officers of the depart ment called 011 the new secretary about noon and were presented by Mr. Coon. A great deal of speculation and comment have been occasioned by the state of affairs in the treasury department, much of which has been condensed in an article in the Star this evening, from which the following extracts are made : The fact of the appointment of Judge Uresham was not generally known till this morning and it caused great surprise among the members cf the cabinet. It has been the subject of talk for several days past, and J ndge Ciresham h: s known that he might be called upon to lake the place in a certain contingency.

MARION AND HIS MEN.
\ It ii eaid that Marion ofton en-amped at The Ouks, the owners,
the Middh tons, having heen from thefirst devotod patriots. And this bringsop again Marion and Marlon's men, alittle band who probably neverdreamed that they were to go down onthe page of history embalmed in poetryAnd romanco and song, figures strongIn local South Carolina coloring, andjet known all over the country almost*8 widely as George "Washington him*elf. Gcq. Francis Marion, who, asthe angry# and harassed British officercomplained, "would not fightlike a Christian and a gentleman,"belonged to the Huguenot colony ,
of the Snntoe, north of Charleston, thelame Santee that owned those HighHills. On the formation of the Ttevo- ]lutionary Army of Carolina Marionwas made a Captain in the regimentammanded by Moultrie; he rose to* Colonelcy before the evacuation ofCharleston, and, escaping the fate ofprisoner of war which fell to Moultrieand many other officers, he collected ,thefragments of his regiment together (1a the recesses of the swamps and jfrom that moment became a dread to ,the whole British Army in the South. ,Marion made war in his own way; (now here, and now there; now seen, jbow gone, he was like a meteor in the (night, and the sucoesses stained bv hia .
extraordinary swiftness and daring jeemcd marvelous alike to friend t»pd foe. He selected young men for {band, generally from his ownneighbors of French descent; he livedla tli© swamps; he swam rivers onhorseback; his favorite encampmontwas a cane-brake. Ho did not wait(or all his troops, but sallied out frequentlywith only ten or twelve; hetook saws £rom the saw mills, andturned them into swords; he frequentlyengaged when ho had but three
* rounds to a man. Scouts wore keptout constantly, and when yrord wopbrought in of a small party of theenemy anyw here, then forth wentMarion's men, like lightning afterthem. It was said that he was so secretIn his plans that his own soldiershad no Idea when they were to becalled out, and that their only way oftcnowing was to watch tho negro cook;when the old man was seen cooking alittle store of the poor food whichwas their only fare, then they preparedfor departure. Marion's favorite|ime for Parting was sun&et, and thenthe march tastad nil n!<rht xfnvmr,

An Ingenious Dkvioe..An ingeniousPreneh device lor removing wntorproduced by the condensation olsteam in pipes, is among the recent indentions,and consists of an entrancepipe, an exit pipe for the water, and:i float balanced by a counter weightand resting on the surface of waterwhich accumulates in the lower partof the vessel. The action of the mechanismis entirely automatic. As thefloat is raised by the addition of water,i pinion on the shaft, on which its rodturns, engaging in a rack, elevates aslide valve, and so opens the escapeDriftee. The water then flows out untilthe float falls low enough to shutthe valve once more. It is suggestedthat a device of this kind, attached toth« «tpjim-lir>ntimr iiP a
building, would doubtless prevent thatiisngreeable clucking and hammeringduo to the water forming in the[>ipes, and the consequent injuryio the latter arising from repeateditrains.
Utii-izaI'ion of "Waste Thread..The utilization of waste thread in themanufacture of textile fabrics is nowlompletely effected, it is said, by aforeign Ldevieo recently introduced.The object is accomplished by simplyreturning the waste threads to thejondensing carding engines by means)f mechanism, the greater part ofwhich is attached to ono of tho sorib-'>lers in preference to the last.

Thevaste threads are taken up by or coiledipon a roller or spool driven by anylonveniont gearing from the cardingsngine or otherwise. Tho roller, whenbus lilled with waste threads, is con- jreyed to the scribbler.and made to *
>ear or rest on a second roller orIrum; the latter has a slow, uniform 1otary motion communicated to it, by jneans of which the waste threads aremiformly delivered into the sliver ast comes off the scribbler. Tho slivern this operation passes to tho conlensingcarding engine in the usualvay.
The Interior of tub Earth.. A jDanish geologist asserts his beliefhut tho interior of the earth iscoupled by currents of Jvarious de-frees of heat, and that these mix withaeh other and attain a certain degree>f temperature, in the same manneris substances subject to all the physicalinfluences of the earth's oxterior.L'his theory, in other words, assertshe well-known fact thut a muss ofluid possessing different temperaturesn different parts of its interior mu-it>e subjected to convection, the result>eing, usually, a change of volume inhe entire mass of circulating fluid.L'his change is capable of being oborvedin ordinary experiments, andnay also effect tho volmm* «fluicl matter in the interior of the earth,irovidel the changes of temperature>f the fluid uro sufficiently great. It3, however, the opinion of the mostmiuent geologists: that the refrigeraionof tho earth is now so extremely 1low as tO.rcuAci* it cjulU^-umrtttfltty'thatmy considerable changes of volumearising from this causer aould hav#*uk«;u place within recent pcilo>la.
rRKVENTINO ESCAPE OP HKAT. ;Experiments havo been made in
France to ascertain what kind of coaVlug best prevents the escape of, heatfrom steam-pipes. After numeroustrlak* it was found that chopped strawwas tho best, and that it reduced tholops of heat by radiation from thobare pipes sixty-six por cent. .Thenext best way is a pottery pipe targeepoj4gU tp cover the steam-pipe andleave an pir space; tho pottery waacoated on thp outside with loamyearth and chopped ptrfvw, kept in plaoeby straw bands twisted round tho pipe.This reduced tho loss sixty-one perceht. The next was cotton-waste^which, wrapped round thp stoam*plpeto an inch thick, reduced the loss fifty*one per cent. The next waa waste fojtfrom printing maohines, under whicfecne reduction wjis forty-eight percent,; and the last was forty-five percant, with a plaster made of cows' hairand clay. Experiments made with .aview to test the effect of oolor showedthat the coatings when painted whitereducod the loss a further seven peruent.

TURKEY'S* NAVAL SXllENQtll.Tho military contributor of thi
.Cologne Gazette observes, in an articleon the navlds of the Moditerranean,that by far tho strongest nava*power on that sea is Turkey. All the
Ronclads of her fleet are of recent conruction, and most of thom havo>mo from the best English ship-builders; tho Gorman ironclad KonigIVilhelin was originally built for tho
Turkish Government. The plates oftho Turkish ironclads aro from 5 1-2 to '8 inches thick (two of the caseuiato »
ships havo D-ineh plates), and thoy aro iarmed with 8-inch and D-ineh Woolwichmuzle-loaders, and Kruppbreech-loaders. Turkey has fourironclad frigates of 3,050 horso '
power and 64 guns, six casemate ships 1each of 700 horse power and 5 guns, ]and threo turret-ships of 1,200 horso (power and 11 guns, making in all fif .
teen ironclads with 9,250 horse powcxand 116 guns. To these should be (
added three ironclad gunboats of 210 :horso power and six guns on thoDanube, and two ironclad gunboats |on the Lake of Scutari, each with 60 ihorso pever and two guns. Tho screw Iships are Also for tho most part wellbuilt and oquipped. They consist offour ships of the line, thirteen frigatesand corvettes, twenty-two avisos, and itwenty-seven gunboats and coastingvessels, besides 101 transport ships,all Itxrge and mostly well armed. Theactual strength of the available fleetof Russia on the Bluclc Sea cannot at '
present tbe accurately estimated, butthe writer thinks there can be nodoubt that it is far inferior to that ofthe Turkish fleet. Austria has foutironclad cascmato ships of 3,600 horso 1
power and 60 guns, and seven iron- '
clad frigates of 4.050 horso nowor nnH '
980 guns. Three of these ships, however,are now being rebuilt, und mostof the others do not fulflll tho requirementsof modern navul warfare, either
,ns regards the thickness of their platesor tho calibre of their guns. This re-
,mark applies even more to the Italian (ironclad ships, soverul of -.which are tobe sold by auction this month, in or- .der to obtain funds for constructing ^new ones more suitable to modern re- \quirements. V

vii uio Yin 01 tno present month Iaccidentally jumped, from an elevationof threp or four feet on a largo nail or vspike driving it about two and xa*half inches through my foot. This ,]happened in the morning, and towardevening the foot commenced ;swelling and the pain iucreased, somuch so that it was with difficulty my uphysicians, Drs. Atkinson and War- tner, could relievo mo by tho use of tho cstrongest narcotics. I slept but little cduring tho night. Tho next day the eBarne treatment was continued, with Ithe application of a hop poultice to the uwound. Ou |tliat day I received a card «signed 'Sympathizer,' stating that the »ismoke from burning wool or woolen orags would immediately relieve tho (1pain, and stop tho inflammation. Thedirections wore to smoke tho wound 'twenty minutes at a time, repeating ^the cporation two or three times I 'accordingly took a piece of woolenblanket, and after making a lire in an I1Iron pot I smothored it with pieces ^of the cloth and held my foot in the ,mfc.i-DU1UK.B. j.1113 soon relieved the pain, \the swelling went down, and up tothe present time tliero lias been scarce- ,iy any inilummation; a iittle bloody t"water has escaped from the sore, but ythat is all.

I applied *
the smoke once every day, and by theadvice of my physicians continued thehop poultice. The treatment with thesmoke is said to be applicable to allwounds arising from bruises, cuts, 15
