MIR. Pnine,s Hydrogen Gas.

We have, from time to time, copied from GU
exchange papers notices of an alleged discove
ny by Mr.. ii. M. PAINE, ofWorcester, Massachu
sets, by which water is, at an inconsiderabl,
expense, converted into constant stream o
infammable hydrogen gas Much doubt ant
some ridicule have been thrown upon Mr.
PAINE's pretensions, arising chiefly, we sup
pose, from the incredulity of the public in re
gard to another matter in which that gentle
man figured some two or three years since
But Mr. PAINE has at length submitted hi
claims to scientific test, and Mr.. COTTON, al
able chemist of Boston, has, in company will
Mr.. HARE, Of Boston, Mr.. AMEs, of Spring
field, and Mr.. MERRICK, President of the Ga.
Company of Worcester, carefully examined
the apparatus of Mr.. PAINE, and, with his per
mission, has published in the Boston Tran
script full description of its structure, opera
ton, and effect. This description, togethe
with an engraved view of the apparatus, W,
publish in another column. 1t is SO full ant
complete as to render remarks on our par
quite unnecessary, more especially as we lay
no claim to a scientific judgment on the matter

New Hampshire.

We published a few days since a series of
patriotic resolutions adopted by the New Hamp-
shire State Convention, to one of which an
amendment was moved in the shape of pro-
viso that nothing contained in said resolution
should be construed into an approval of the
Fugitive Slave law, or giving hundred thou
sand miles of free territory and ten millions of
dollars to Texas. This amendment was subse-
quently voted down by an overwhelming ma
jority, the vote being Is yeas, l55 nays-ma-
jority against it 1877. Well done for the Gran
tie State.

The well-nformed editor of the Springfield
Republican, who has been in Boston during the
wedding week of the Democracy to Free soil
| ism, lets us little into the secret of the sue
cessful bargain. The Presidential question
has mingled in it, and the stake played for has
| been the Democratic nomination for the PREsI-
DENcy. 1t is well known that General CAss
| and his friends have opposed the coalition, and
great pains have been taken at Boston to
weaken the Generals strength among the
Massachusetts Democracy on this account
And it would seem that the friends OF north
ern Democratic candidate have taken advan.
| tage of this state of things TO SOW little sea
sonable seed by earnestly urging on the coali-
Won. Judge WOODBURY. is distinctly pointed
at; and, with a view to secure for him the sup
port of Massachusetts, his partsans have gone
zealously into the work which is to result in
the election of CHARLES SUMNER to the United
States Senate. This seems little queer; but
the editor of the Republican speaks of the mat
ter with great positiveness, and declares tina,
names can be given if needed
If this arrangement is carried out we may
perhaps, find out, by and bye, solution of the
mysterious course of Judge WOODBURY. in re-
tanning Mr.. SUMNER in office as commits
sioner Of his court after the abominable decla-
rations made by him in Faneuil Hall as to the
performance of his duty under the Fugitive
Slave law. How it would look for the Judge
to remove Mr.. SUMNER from office at the very
moment when his friends are preparing to ele-
vate him to the still higher office of Senator!

~ The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution of
that body, TO invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low premium Of five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses of Congress- -
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day Of December next
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Cepto,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building, or by the
erection of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure to the enst Of the building
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference TO and correspondence with
the present building as to preserve the general
symmetry OF the entire structure, when complete
Although but one plan be adopted, the COM
mittee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption Of parts of different plans
submitted, should such be found necessary; in
which event. the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
to their own judgment, the amount of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
Importance and merit Of each part adopted

PUBLIsHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
At the loio price Of ONE DOLLAR per anntna,
I s the cheapest weekly newspaper south of the
j Potomac, and as cheap as any in the Union.
This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch consisting of the entertaining and
news matter of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
HUGH R. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
1t is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for it's general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow citizens
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprlze, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence Of Southern rights is a defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremtting, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views. They, at least,
know it to be impossible.
Blythe low price ut which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
icays in Advance.
