GuNpowpER NULLIrIED. 1t is a singular fact
that French officer has discovered method
of taking away the explosive properties of gun
powder, to be restored at pleasure. 1t is mere
ly to mix the powder with finely powdered
charcoal or black lead, filling up the intersticos
between the grains; and if III this state it be set
fire to, it merely fuses, but does not flame. In
recent experiment, two barrels of the powder
thus mixed, were placed one upon the other,
and the lower one lighted. 1t burnt in about
20 minutes, but the calorc developed had SO
little force, that the upper barrel was but light
ly charged, and its contents uninjured. The
powder is at any time rendered servicable by
sitting it,

To PRESERVE SWEET PoTAroEs Select
a dry place, level the earth, and lay bed of
dry straw so as to form about six feel in diam
ter: on this straw, pile up the potatoes until
they form cone four or five feet high, over
which spread little dry grass. Then cover
the entire cone with corn-stalks set up end
ways, with the butts resting on the ground, and
the tops resting over the apex, of sufficient
thickness to conceal all the potatoes. Then
cover the whole pile with earth at depth of
at least foot, without leaving any air-hole at
the top, as is frequently done. A small shelter
should then be made so as to prevent the rains
from washing off the earth. This may be done
by inserting in the ground, about the pile, four
forked stakes on which rails may be placed to
support the covering, which may consist of
boards, bark, thatch or other Substances. Po-
tatoes can be preserved in this manner until
June, nearly as fresh as when put up.

NOMINATION
JOHN TYLER FOR THE PRESIDENCY BY
THE PEOPLE.
TYLER MEETING ATJERsEY SHORE.

On the goth instant, at Jersey Shore. Lycom
ing county, Pennsylvania, the Tyler men in
that region assembled in large numbers, S. G..
Alien, Esq, in the Chair.
J. w. Shedd, Esq, addressed the assembly in
defence of Mr.. Tyler, and urged on the Demo-
cracy the necessity Of ralyins upon him with
out delay, if they would conquer, next Fall.
Among the resolutions we find these strong
and decided ones, which we commend To the
attention Of those who prefer some other candi-
date than John Tyler:
Resolved, That President Tyler has laurels
for himself in administering the true principles oil
the Constitution during three years past, and is en-
titled to the same reward that Andrew Jackson re-
ceived in 1892.
Resolved, That if the Democratic party would
elect their candidate next Fall, they must take the
hero Of the Vetoes, honest John Tyler.
Resored, Tia: while honor and respect Mr.
Van Buren, and his principles We feel certain OF de-
feat under him leader, and we sincerely ask
hin TO retire. and thus preserve the harmony OF tho
patty
Resolved, That the Democratic party owe Mr.. Ty
Ter debt of gratitude which they con never cancel
except the ballot box in the coming Presidential
election.

IN addition to every argument jusliying
Adams aud Clay in their attempt TO re-snnex
Texas to the Union, we have the conclusive one,
,hat Merico hersey established the Prio-
ciple which authorizes Texas TO dispose Of her
territory just as she plesses, and TO give full
and valid title TO whomsoever shc pleases.
II, unhappily, and we think without any just
grounds for il, the opinion was not entertai ned
that The coming election would be influenced by
action in this matter, no difficulty would have
arisen aud already, as these fears subsde, the
nation is returning TO its support.

From the accurate and impartial statement and

A CURIOSITY.

The pamphlet entitled Tho acts and resolutions OF
the first session Of the twenty eighth Congress- con-
tsios three hundred and ten poges. One hundred
and thirty nine only occupied with acts and reso'
Iuiions-twep,y-6ve 9th treaties, and one hundred
and forty SIX with the index This latter Is called
by The profession "fat" This comes from the exist
ing system Of contracting with the lowest bidder for
the work of the Departments. What IS lost in one
way will be made up in another. The printing o.
indsIes is quite as prof able as rule and figure work
in some instances not one-,hird of the page being
covered With composition. Who will no, regard It as
curiosity that the index 10 the laws requires great
or number of pages than the laws themselves TbeI,
is this convenience however, the same reference cen
be found under numerous letters Of the alphabet.

THE GAME OF BRAG.

The Wings certainly out brag all creation
To the uninitiated their recent shouts OF victory
would have forced the conviction that Henry Clay,
the oft-rejected asprant was carrying every thing
before him "lke hurricane TO use their own
strong language.
Recently however, their cries Of triumph have
died away like an echo, and the contrast produce d
by such a sudden silence is an impaPable mystery
II would seem that all their shouts had been Prepar-
ed for the OCCASION to be let of simultaneously, for
effect whether the returns should be cheering or moi,
And now having let of their innocent steam, the re-
Hectng portion of the community have desire to
know to what extent PoLX and DALLAS have been
used up" by n. Clay.
