The National Intelligehcer says
that a company has been organized
in Washington, who have purchased
the right 10 fabricate and sell Philips
Fire AnnihiIator, of which we had
reports in the English press. The
company have held meetings for sew
eral days past in Washington. and
have appointed the Hon. Elisha Whit
tIssey as President Of the Company,
and P. T. Barnum, Esq, Of world
wide celebrity, as General Manager
and Secretary. The Inteliigencer
adds:
''Such an organization gives TO the
public every guarantee OF good faith.
The universal respect in which Mr..
Whittlesey is held throughout our
country, and his known probity and
talents, will command confidence in
every purpose to which he gives the
sanction OF his name and connexion.
As for Mr.. Barnum-the least vision
airy and the most practical, sagacious
and energetic OF ali the sons OF Yam
keedom, which is as much as TO say
OF "all the world and the rest OF man.
kind"-whatever he takes in hand is
bound to succeed
An experiment with one OF these
fire annihiIators, several OF which
have been imported by Messrs. Ed
wards, Sanford & Co. of Adams &
Co.'S foreign express, was made yes
terday afternoon, in the yard of the
Merchants shot tower, in this city,
under the superintendent Of Messrs.
Sam NJ. Shoemaker, William
Peters, and George A. Rawlings, in
the presence Of number Of gentle
men who had been invited to be pre-
sent. The machine used was one oI
the smallest size manufactured, and
cost, in England, about three pounds.
The mode OF operation was as fol-
lows: A -four barrel was closely
packed with shavings and quantity
of light wood OF an infiammable ma.
ture, and then set on FIRE; and when
the heat and flames had attained a
great degree Of intensity. the annihi.
la,or was put in requisiiion, and the
vapor directed to the sides and bot.
tom OF The fire. The effect was al.
most magical--in a very brief time
the fire had entirely disappeared, and
nothing remained but a heavy volume
of thick, black smoke. The expert,
ment was repeated several times, and
with the same success; and all present
concurred in the opinion that the
invention was fully entitled to all The
praise which had been conferred upon
it, and that il was entirely competent
to perform all that has been claimed
for it.

JACK Humpfries, the piquant Bos-
ton correspondent Of the Albany
DutchEadn, gives the following off
hand description Of Rufus Choate:-
"Rufus Choate-famous for throw
ing somerseis. fip-fsps, making
mouths and ugly mugs at judges and
Ijuries-is jawing away in the same
old Rev. Mr.. Fairchild case. You
probably neversaw Rufus, but you've
heard OF himi Well, he's great on
saving hard cases from getting their
dues. He saved Tirrell, the murder
er Of Ellen Bickford, from hemp
stretching land that fact has made
him in great demand, where things
are doubtful, ever since. He has
saved many a scouIGrel from well
merited punishment, and, perhaps,
has obtained, for some, justice. Ru-
lus Choate is picture to look at, and
a chowder to spout. He is about
seven ieet six, or six feet seven, in
his socks; supple as an eel, and iDiry
as a cork screw. His face is COM
pound OF wrinkles, 'yaller janders,'
and Jurisprudence. He has small,
keen, piercing black eyes, and a head
shaped like a mammoth goose-egg.
big end up; his hair black and curly.
much resembling bag Of wool in
admirable disorder or brush heap
in gale of wind. His body has no
particular shape; and his wit and
legal 'dodges' have set many judge
| in a snicker, and so confounded jurors
as to make it almost impossible for
them to speak plain English, or tell
the truth, for the rest of their natural
lives. Rufus is great on twisting
and coiIing himself up, squirming
arou7d and prancing. jumping and
kicking up the dust, when steam's
up. His oratory is first rate; and
his arguments ingenious and forcible.
He generally makes a ten-strike-
Judge and jury down, at the end OF
every sentence. He is great on
fiowery expressions, and high falootin
'fub-dubs.' Strangers mostly think
he's crazy, and the rest scarcely un-
derstand what it's all about. He in
voices his time and elocution, 1000
per cent. over ordinary charges, for
having ones sell put througha a course
OF law. Rufus Choate is about fifty
years of age; perhaps over. He is
considered the ablest lawyer in New
England, or peIhaps-the United
States. His handwriting can't be
deciphered without the aid OF a pair
OF compasses and quadrant. His
autograph somewhat resembles The
map OF Ohio, and looks like a piece
OF crayon sketching, done in the
dark, with three pronged fork. He
has been in the Senate. and may be,
if he has time to fish Tor it-Presideni
OF the United States. If the Rev.
Mr.. Fairchild don't lick his sdversa-
ries gibel case) with RUFUS Choate 10

the powder to blow it up.

John G. Breslin, the Locofocc
nominee for Treasurer Of State, was
member of the Legislature during
the famous session when Townshend
Morse & Co. sold out 10 the Locofo.
cos, and wheE S. P. Chase was eIec.
ted 10 the Senate of the United
States by the Locooco party. He
was an active participant in those vi.
olent and revolutionary scenes that
resulted in trampling the law Of the
State under foot, and The admission
of Pugh to the House, from Hamil-
ton county, in violation of ali law.
He was famous for his disregard OF
law and, what the most of the peo-
pie thought, propriety. He sane
toned and upheld the most impro-
per conduct on the part Of his party
friends in casting double ballots so as
to defeat an election. The following
letter written by him at the time to
a friend, stands as the evidence of
his reckless disregard oil law and or
der. He admits the genuineness OF
the following:
COLUMBUS, Ohio.

cratic Judges. We would have elec-

Such, people OF Ohio, are the no.

man for whom you are asked to

A LEOPARD CHILn.-The Louis

child in that city, aged about three
or four years, the offspring Of a black
woman. The Journal SAYS it is not
mulatto, but spotted. The face is
black. with white spot on the FORE
head, and one on the chin. The leos
and part Of the body are white with
black spots. The white is moi ike
that of an AlbiDo. but like the skin
OF the white race, with the blue
veins showing themselves through il.

spotted colt, following il about and

A page Of the New York Herald
Is devoted TO correspondence be-
tween several members of a commit
tee appointed al the National Loco
foco Convention Of 1913, and sun
.dry prominent members of the "Lo-
coloco- Ere oil Proslavery- Demo-
cratic. Federal-anti- Wing party" in
all parts of the United States. We
thought there must be some hoax in
this correspondence when we first
saw Il; but as Medary of the Ohio
Statesman charges Bennett Of the
Herald with purioining it. there need
be no further doubt OF its genuine
ness. The letters are all from the
most prominent men, such as Do
madison Of Texas, Clark Of VT, Com.
mander OF S. c., Martin Van Buren,
N. Y, Chase of Ohio, Houston OF
Texas, Levi Woodbury. OF N. H.,
Giddings OF Ohio, and many others
In different States.
Ii is not possible TO give full and
fair understanding OF this correspon-
dence, but il is in relation 10 the
nomination of a candidate for the
Presidency. Giddings of Ohio says
10 Donaldson Of Texas, that Media
Ty, Myers, Brinkerhof, Spalding,
&c. are favorable to his (Mr. D.'s)
views; and Mr.. DIS views may be
pretty fully understood from the fol-
lowing extract from his letter, dated
August I3, 1851:
"From the tones of our correspon-
dence we have ample assurances that
the convention will be with US, and
be composed mostly of Houston men,
Uho l0iH oUeTT'ale all opposition, and
secure our object. In regard to the
plalfoTms-avoid all new tests, espe-
cially Land Reform. Partly reaffirm
the Baltimore platform, without Of
tending our Free Soil aliies-who
have pledged themselves in good
faith TO us--as their vote will be
most formidable, you may depend
upon it, and we can afford to make
a few sacrifices Of the South, where
so irascible disposition is shown"
Mr.. Donaldson goes on to say that
Mr.. Walker OF Wisconsin may be
kept in the background, by proven.
ting the passage of Land Reform
resolutions in Iowa and other Yves.
tern States. He thinks Van Buren
and Croswell will be able to secure
New York for Houston-that "Chase
and Giddings may be relied upon 10
the utmost in Ohio," and says, "we
are in hopes to handle the wires even
in Massachusetts. General Hous-
ton, | have the best means of know
ing, will be on himself shortly to
TO take charge Of the wires" Mr..
ID. continues: "a word to our New
York friends:-Make no mis.steps,
little allusion 10 niggerism," &c.
And further: "Should it be deemed
advisable to get up mass, bone and
sinew demonstration at Tammanv
Hall, in the city OF New York, for
the purpose of helping along all our
own and old Sans plans, do so,
provided it can be done by both Sec
