INTERESTING TO THE ADVOCATES or,
WAR.-It is stated in the Journal Of
the Royal Polytechnic Institute thar'
another weapon Of terrible efficacy has
been contrived by Professor BUNsoN,
who has discovered liquid, called the
.liquil of Cadet, (which consists chief
ly of compound base having consti-l
tuition precisely similar TO common al
cohol, but in which the oxygen is re-
placed by arsenic. 1t possesses the
most extreme and instant spontaneous
infammabilty the moment it is expos
ed to the. air. II, therefore, globe of
glass, or other fragile materials be
thrown into the port hole Of ship. the
moment it breaks against the deck or
any hard object, the spilled fluid is in
blaze and sets on fire every thing COM
bustible in contact with it. The result
of the combustion is the ecoluti0n Of
clouds of ,chife arsenic, so that the at
mosphere instantly becomes a decdly
poi,oni Thus, if inflamed between
decks, the whole atmosphere would be
at once fatal. The substance, moreo-
yer, being insoluble in water and heav-
Ter, water would not extinguish II when
on fire. 1t would certainly be diff
cul. TO conceive more formidable
weapon.

Glnrious ON the battle Geld.

Glorious on the battle field.
Glorious in the chair OF State,
When Thy country found shield
In thy arm TO guard her fate;
Still more glorious art thou now,
Gasping feebly for thy breath,
While upon thy martial brow
Fast distil The dews Of death!
Though disease has Slapped thy form,
And the lightning from thine eye
Fades. which through the battle storm
Cleaned SO bright and valianlly:
Though thy voice whose clarion tone
Sent to gallant hearts thrill,
AS the line moved brayely on.
Fainter grows, and fainter still.
Yet thy spirit, bright as ers.,
Through the gathering clouds of night,
Ger Thy couniry's sky is burst
Like glorious beacon light:
Pore as when its ray was given,
Though il bastens 10 its rest,
Till tpass away 10 heaven,
Ii is all of JACKSON yet!
Set it mns,-but thy great name
Lingering here beneath the sky;
Cherished for Thy counsry's fame,
Will not, nay, il cannot die
Living through each future age,
Living in her gallant sons;
Living on her history's page:
Side by side with Washington's!
When the storm of battle pours,
And the invaders ruthless band;
Fiercely on these western shores.
Seeks 10 conquer freedoms land,
Siernly graphing with the foe.
10 the battles reddesi fame,
Where's The brave heart will not glow,
When we breathe old Jacks0n'S name
10 the tomb for monarchs made,
With no pageantry OF woe,
Shall thy glorious dust be laid,
In the earth, when thou art low;
Like thy life, thou dauntless man,
We will dig grave for thee.
Simple and republican,
In The soil of liberty!
With stern and lofty pride,
Pairicis. in all coming time.
From the hills TO tn oceans side,
Shall recount thy life sublime;
Ceasing moi to hope that men.
With great souls may rise TO guide
Rightly this free na,ion-when
SUCH as thou, have lived and died

Poetry.
ANDREW JACKSON.

We believe the following piece of poetry
was published in the Savannah Georgian, and
was suggested by Gen. Jackson's declining
10 accept the ssrcophagus rendered him by
Com. Elliott. We here add paragraph from
the Generals letter TO the Commodore:
81 cannot consent that my mortal body
shall be laid in repository prepared for an
emperor or king. My republican feelings and
principles forbid it; the simplicity of our gov.
eminent forbids it. Every monument erected
TO perpetuate the memory of our heroes and
statesmen ought to bear evidence ofthe econo-
nv and simplicity of our republican ins,itu-
lions, and The plaiuness Of our republican cit-
zeus, who are The soveTeigns OF our glorious
Union, and whose virtue is 10 perpetuaie it.
True virtue cannot exist where pomp and par
ade are the governing passions, il can only
dwell with The people-ihe great laboring and
producing classes that form the bone and sim
.ew of our coniederacy."

CITY OF PROVIDENCE,


Mayors Office, Nov. 6, l845,
For the guidance of persons desirous
OF having their names placed on the lists
of voters lm general officers in this city
for 1916, the following Information is
published. ...
The Constitution OF this Stale enumer-
ates two classes Of voters, viz
lst. Native or naturalzed citizens
aged 81, owning real estate ol the value
of one hundred thirty -four dollars or sew
on dollars per annum, the deed Of which,
i( there be one, has been recorded ninety
days, and who have resided one year in
tho State and six months in the CITY
These voters need not register, but il is
recomme nded that they should.
There is some difference in opinion as
to the right to vote upon a wife's estate.
Ia this city the decision has been that a
man may 7ote upon his wife's estate in
ell cases in which he could if it were his
own.
Cd. Native citizens, aged 81, who
have resided two years in the State and
six months in the city, whose names are
registered in the City Clerks Office on
or before the last day Of December, l845,
and who have paid assessed taxes a
mounting to one dollar, or have perform
ed military duty in the year l345. Ii
the right to vote be upon registry tax,
the name must be registered before Mon
day, the first day of December next, as
on that day the list Of names must be de-
livered to the Assessors for the purpose
Of having :he registry tax assessed but
if the right to vote be upon a property
tax or military service, the name may be
registered any time before the first day Of
January next.
Registry taxes must be paid for 1874
and I845, if assessed in both years, aud
il is immaterial whether the tax for 1914
was assessed in this city or in some town,
it must be paid where It was lawfully as
sessed. AS a name once registered IL
not stricken from the registry until the
person has been removed for one year,
il may be that person may lawfully be
ssessed IN more than one town for the
registry tax OF 1915. II he claims to
vote in this city, he must pay the regis
try tax for 1915 here. Only one regis.
try tax need be paid for one year.
Property taxes, IN order to give right
20 vote ~ l846, must be assessed aud
paid IN i815. a tax assessed IN 1914
and paid N 1916 is not sufficient.
The remission OF the registry tax Of a
person absent ut sea has the same ei-
isci as payment. To en'iile any one to
such remission he must have been alb
sent at least during tile whole time when
such tax could have been palj.
