ROFE SSOR COOPER.

We state with great regret a most Gala
mltons accident which occurred Yesterday
ar the College to this eminent chemist *
mineralogist. He had been heating a solu-
ton OF Bismuth in aqua rcgia and nitrous
fumes had collected in the upper part of the
vial. When attempting to take the cork out
which was tighter than expected, to let
them OF, the contents exploded with great
noise. The professor was instantly struck
blind, and continued in the greatest anguish
Tor many hours, although he had immediate
ly the best surgical aid /; great apprchehsi-
ons were at first entertained that he had
lost his SIGHT. We understand this morning
his sight Will be regained.

TO THE PATRONS OF THE VIRGINIA
ARGUS

At a very great expence, the proprietor, has
lately procured entire new fonts o. TYPE for this
paper, and INCREASED the size of it considerably.
It is believed that it now contains quantity OF
matter nearly equal to any paper printed IN A
merica. The price (the same in the year
1928, when it commenced) is 30 per cent. lower
than the other papers of this city. Gotwith-
standing this, however, and the encreased pficc
of types, paper, &c. which cannot be obtained
but for cash, the subscription will not be raised
TO bunctudi subscribers. But in justice to him
self the printer gives this early notice to his pa
irons, that from and after the first day of the
year 1879, the paper will be charged at the
rate of FIVE DOLLARS per annum to all those
who do not pay their subscriptions in the course
of the current year.-rhe opportunities by pri
vate conveyances continually occurring thro'-
out the year from every part Of the State to
Richmond, particularly by the Members of the
Legislature and the Sheriffs) and the facility
afforded by the mails which pass through every
neighbourllood at least once fortnight, will
leave those disposed to make remittances, no
excuse for not doing so.-No subscription viii.
hereafter be taken for less than six months,
nor will the paper be discontinued till all
rearages are paid.

appraised of Mr.. Hanson's plan of takiag
possession of house in Baltimore, in order
70 re-establish the Federal Republican again,
at so short = day as on Monday week, that
is, tomorrow week. 1 am now from home
since Thursday morning, and cannot posi-
bly, reach there again until tomorrow night,
On account of business that is too urgent to
neglect. | also feel much Indisposed on &C
count of cold and head ache. But rest as
sured | will hurry home with all possible
speed, and if it is possible, will join those
gallant spirits, going on the noble enterprise;
perhaps the most 80 since the revolutionary
war Time hardly ever was more precious
With me-. | have at this time several CON
-racts respecting cattle ON hand, that must
DC complied with: some of them nearly one
hundred miles beyond me: and yesterday
received S 1000 here, for the purpose OF
making the necessary pay nents next week,
or shall, perhaps, lose my credit and the
cattle in the bargain.
But it may De possible for me to get some
one to do the business for me. The mos
difficult part is the cattle | have not seen
and valued; and who to get that is compe-
tent judge, l cannot as yet think Of. MY
friend, you now see some of the difficulties
under which | labor; more, and of very
serious nature, | could detail, but il is IN
necessary. | repeat, that if it is possible I
viii with heart and soul join the band no.
thing IN this world, 1T present, would afford
me more real pleasure than 70 assist in the
noble undertaking. Secrecy and great eau
ton will be necessary until the party are ac-
tualiy in possession OF the housc.-In the
first place, there ought (accArdng to the
size of the house) to be a full quantity OF
gallant men to defend it at every door, win
dow, &c. muskets with the bayonets, and a
plenty of good pistols, with . large store of
ammunition. Let there be plenty fbuck-
shot, provided for close work, and when they
reach closer still (Which will never be, be-
iicve, but it is always best to be well prcpar-
ed) | would advise that a store OF toma-
hawks or hatchets, with dirks forevery man,
be provided. If we are thus prepared, and
they can neither fire the house or starve US
out, the garrison will never be under the
necessity OF surrender. have thus thrown
my ideas together in crest haste; should they
do no good, they will not injure. Too much
caution cannot be made use of. / repeat a.
gain, If it is possible | will be with you in
time; but should it not be III my power. |
hope | shall stand excused. l hope there
viii be no want of young soldiers, and those
commanded by such men as Lingau and An
derson cannot fail Of success.
In haste, am yours sincerely,
