TO democratic states as well as 70 monarcbies-to
proclaim your plans of campaign by the sound oI
the trumpet, Tor several weeks before we are pre-

indeed, be obliged 10 US, if we were TO tell him,
''on such day We shall strike at Tam

such and such road-we mean 10 take no sdyan-

about the plan Of the campaign. Such as the

From the Baltimore American
VEsEzUELA. by letters aud papers 10 the 9h
instant received by the schooner Martha Elizabeth
at this port, have information Of the occurrence
OF popular disturbances, growing out of the disss-
isiaetion Of political party in Venezuela at the
suit OF the late election for president Of that repub
lie. This party, (caed GuEmSaislos, from the
Of their leader Guzman) claims the election of their
fayoritei at the same time that Il ID decided that
there u no choice by the people, and, consequently,
the election is TO he made by the next Congress.
General jose Antonio Paez, the former Pres-
dent, had been appointed genera-in-chief OF the
army OF the republic, and had issued very pa
uiouc address TO his country men, calling upon
them to suppress sediton, and maintain the honor
and tranquility Of the republic. '
IL appears by an official note that Col. Guerrero,
commanding party of government troops, had en-
countered IN the plains, at place called Laguna de
iedrs, on the 2Sth Of September party Of the fac
persed them, leaving 100 dead on the field OF battle
and greater number wounded or drowned in the
Tisnados. Col Guerrero took no prisoners.
The government Of Caracas had ordered the APP
prehenslon OF Guzman the cause and prime
mover Of these tumults but he could not be found
until after much search. The Puerto Cabello Diario
Of the 9Th instant, says that he had been appre-
hended at the house of female friend in Caracas.
There were hye candidates for the presidency
viz;
General Bartolome Salon, General jose Tadeo
Monagas, Manuel Felipe Tovar, Col. Jose Felix
Blaneo, and Antonio Leocadio Guzmsn.
The latter is popular with the lower classes, but
there is doubt that before this the factions are
put down, and government and order firmly estas-
lished.

His whig opponent, (Mr. Beman,) is, we learn, a

We have the misfortune to differ entirely with
the Portsmouth "New Era" in the views which it
takes in its number of Tuesday last 1t ropublishes
an article from the "Union," correcting some er-
rors that were afoat about conversation Of Lieut.
Bergman and at the close ofwhich we remarked that
1--WE cannot be mistaken in stating that vigorous
prosecution Of the war is the order of the day. But
who will undertake to develop the plan Of the cam
paign' The events will truly develop themselves"
The "New Era" is dissatisfied with this statement;
says that it defes call the OWNERS and augurs in
the world, to predict from this, whether Vera Cruz
Is or Is not to be attacked by the naval force of the
country; whether San Juan d'Uloa is to fall by that
arm of the national defence, not" 1t urges that
its editor has repeatedly protested against the
mystery and silence which have veiled the designs
of our government and their proposed modes of ac-
ton, anti-repubcan, and savoring Of despotism;
and we have not seen anything in the development
which should induce US to change our opinion" 1t
contends that it is this mystery, which has given
rise to all "the empty and shallow rumors that are
bred" and the specnlations that are thrown out
in the whig newspapers about the progress of
the war, and which "would be paralyzed, or
never be permitted to appear if open, frank, and
generous confidence in the people was exhibited,
who, we feel assured, from extensive observation,
would warrant and defend the policy Of this war
with Mexico, and would rejoice to see i, prosecuted
with vigor that would crush instantly every hope
Of our enemy and the world, Of possibility Of fail
ure on our part" -...s-,.....l ,s.
Can the "New Era" be serious in taking these
POSITIONS We ask it with all the respect which we
feel for its editor. He ought to know that the pres
ent administration has no desire to mystify its
acts, to withhold any light from the people which
their true interests may require to be disseminated
He must also do us the justice to admit that no
journal in Washington has ever taken more pains
TO collect official information from all departments
of the government, and scatter il among the people,
as onxiously and as far as we properly could,
than the "Unon" has done. But does not the
"New Era" see, at once, that a certain state Of
our foreign relations, and especially period
Of war, requires much prudence, and imposes
much caution; that the movements Of our
armies and squsdrons ought not always TO be
promulgated until they have been eccomplisheds-
that II you mean to strike blow at the enemy, YOU
must not go to the house-tops and apprize him of
your ntentions1-that he would be the first to thank
as well ridicule you for your candori--that wbs,
he is most desirous 10 know is, at what point you
mean to strike at him, that he may prepare himself
to parry and defeat your blows It would be, in
deed, auew mode Of carrying on the war, ut.
terly unknown to ancient and modern times

Correspondence Of the Union.
BALTIMORE, October 90, S p. m.
The news from the army, received last night, has
only partially removed the feeling of suspense in
which our community has labored, on account Of
absent relatives and friends. Not a single private
letter has yet come to hand, as far as have beer
able to learn, though there doubtless hundreds
the road understand that the "Sun" alone received
letters from Monterey up to the 9Th inst, but they
give no details as to the killed and wounded These
letters dated days later than those received
by the Pcayune.
The mail from the east came to hand in due time
this afternoon, but it brings nothing of special in
terest. Great preparations were making in Phia.
deIphia for doing honors to the remains of Com
modore Decatur.
The -four market of Baltimore is pretty much a,
stand to-day. Howard street -four has settled a,

about 1900 barrels The same price was demand

There was sale of 500 barrels city mills, yes,er-
day, at IS 37l for fresh ground. Offers of IS 25
were made to-day, but refused for the same de-
scriptions. Old brands are held at IS IS. Small
sales of susquehanna were maden the early part Of
the week at IS 25 ass 37I. . J
There is a toleraby good supply of grain in our

to look with anxiety towards Boston for the steamer
Britannia, which has now been ten days on the

the remains of Commodore Decatur, there probably
has been but little or nothing done.

DECISION OF JUDGE EDMoNDS IN THE
... SLAVE CASE.

This case, which has excited such deep inter at
in a large portion Of the community, especially
among our colored population, wus decided this
morning by Judge Eamonds, in the circuit cocrt,
and the boy Charles discharged from custody.
Judge Edmonds took the ground that the captain
Of the "Mobile" could not be viewed as in any
sense the owner Of the slave or the agent or attor-
ney Of such owner that the arrest and mprson-
ment was without authority, even under the laws
Of Georgia, because made without the Jurisdiction
Of Georgia; that il regarded as an arrest under ts
law Of New York, while the consttutionaIity Of
that law was very questionable, yet the return
showed nothing Of q purpose the part Of the re
spondent TO pursue the course prescribed by that
law and therefore il could not be pleaded in iusti6-
cation of confinement; that the act Of 1893 by Con.
gress, set forth in the case Of Prigly, ev-
denty limited the recovery of the slave TO meas
ures in due process soflaw-certainy to such as were
in no way ylolatve Of the public peace and finally
that the act Of the master in this being wholly
unauthorized, the boy must be discharged As the
judge concluded his decision, the negro was brought
into the court room, (Which was densely crowded,
even at an early hour,) from which he retired smid
the reioicngs of the people ofcolor and well guard
ell by his friends.
Il is rumoted that efforts are now making to re-
capture the boy under warrant Of some sort, with
the view, possibly, of detaining him until his mas
ter can be Informed of his place, and adopt meas
ures for his recovery. On the other hand, there
seems to be very extensive purpose to aid his es
cape.

THE PREPARED COTTON DISCOVERY

| The letter which we laid before our readers or
Saturday evening, from our European correspondent
il calculated to shake the doubts of the skeptc in
relation to the extraordinary combustibity and
power of the prepared cotton. 1t appears wonder
ful, indeed but, perhaps, not more so than the dis
coyery Of gunpowder itself, when it was commune
Gated to the world. We should like to see some
account of the impression which this new and inn
portant composition produced upon the world, if
any trace Of it is to be found in the ancient
MS records But by way Of lending some
confirmation to the description of our cores
pondent, we subjoin the following extract which
appears in the Charleston Courier, from lis
Paris correspondent. He does not notice it's
cotemporaneous discovery by Professor Baltger, OF
Frapkfort-on-the-Maine
aSeyersl notices have lately met my eye Of n
marvellous mode of transforming common cotton
into detonating powder, recently invented by Pro-
fcssor Schonbein, of Baslc, in Swzerland. The
learned professor has ascertaned that, by subjecting
cotton TO particular process, (Which is still secret
with the inventor, il becomes transformed into new
substance, very slightly changed IN appearance, but
inAammabe from the smallest spark and detonat.
ing by percussion. Other advantages Of the cotton
powder are that it leaves hardly perceptible resi-
jne in the gun after discharge, for each load
ries off the residue of the preceding load and after
every discharge, the piece is az fit for service as
lv. and very unforny. 1t burns entirely, dis
charging very few solid particles, and producing
hardly any smoke. The danger Of transportation
is very slight for il expodcs only from the action Of
q violent shock or blows and burning without fame,
explosion produces no fire. Put up for transporta-
ton, il occupies more space than common powder,
but then It is much lighter II may be wet, but
when dried, it resumes all its original qualities and,
in damp weather, il is superior to common powder
being more infiammable Experiments will soon
decide whether this cotton powder is to supersese
the 'vanous satpetre.'
"The saysns Of Switzerland are bruiting, too, just
now, another invention, by virtue Of which paper,
and analogous vegetable tissues, are invested with
an extraordinary solidity, having the solidity Of
iron. Paper subjected to this process may be
washed without injury and is proof against acids and
alkalies" ...u . a...a.
