Correspondence Of The Tribune
BALTIMORE, Monday, Feb SPIN.
Quite system Of kidnapping has been carried
on between Kent and Queen AIMS Countess
Nd. and Baltimore City, for some months past
The gang were finally ferreted out and two ring
leaders. named Moliitt and Price, and several aux
iliaries, have been arrested, held to bail or COM
mitted to answer for their outrages. Their plan
of operations has been to catch an unwary negro
boy or girl in the country, take him or her to a
private house and keep them till an opportunity
was afforded to bring them to Baltimore. Here
no difficulty was experienced IN selling them 20
the numerous slave dealers with whom our city
is cursed and no representations Of the poor negro
being needed, their fate IS sealed.
A few DAYS since & Mr. Spear, Of Kent County,
had servant girl spirited away, and as ne dld
not believe she had absconded, he suspected tnls
kidnapping gang. Accordingly ne came to the
CITY and by the aid of an officer, in the course OF
dav. found his girl at the slave depot Of the
Messrs. Campbell, West Pratt ST. Messrs Camp
bell showed a legal bill of sale made out IN the
names of Mofitt and Price, In which It was eyl-
denced that they had paid S42J Tor the glrL vi
course her master demanded and OBTAINED her
taking her home to a somewhat better condition
than pulling cotton or working sugar cane. 1t IS
TO be hoped that these body pirates may meet
with their Just deserts when they shall be tired.
The great increase Of the Southern trade with
the port Of Baltimore, consequent upon the Slavery
agitation, has opened the eyes OF our citizens to
the probable benefits to be derived by It's still
further increase. The proposition Of line OF
steamers to Liverpool will be urged with re-
newed vigor, and has the prospect Of success.
The increase Of clearances from Baltimore to
Southern ports, of from 10 vessels in January,
1850. to a vessels in January, 1851 is unprece'
dented, and exhibits more forcibly than language
can depict the state of southern feeling.
! Watchman Carey Of the Eastern Station, was
assaulted Last night by notorious rowdy named
Michael German and stabbed in two places. The
fellow was arrested.

Water DecOmpOsable.

The London Intellectual Repository for Decem.

ject, WATKR-which that great ssvan announced
half a century before its acknowledged discovery
to be like air, capable Of decomposition, and Of
becoming constituent of all compound SUB.
stances" What would be more absurd" asks
the commentator, than to proclaim that Water,
by dissolution, forms solid salt and becomes
part Of the hard solid rock part Of the earths
minerals, vegetables and animals u Yet nothing
is more true than that such is the case. The
housewife who purchases a pound Of soap or
pound Of alum, gets in exchange three.quarters
of q pound Of water in the first, and almost one
half pound Of water in the second. If she buys
score weight Of potatoes she is literally obtain
ing / pounds weight OF water out OF 20 pounds.
If the butcher sends her pounds of beef
pounds thereof are water. And so on with
the other substances. Even If we incode the
bones OF the human body, only onefourth Of the
whole is solid matter chiefly the atomic parts of
the atmosphere. Hence, the body OF man
weighing 10 stone, is stone of water and only
p OF solid material Chemically speaking, he is
45pounds Of carbon and nitrogen held in a state
Of diffusion by 81 paifuls Of water. By these
many quarts Of water circulating in fluid and
solid state, warmth suppleness and nutriment are
transmitted to every atom and fibre Of this Won
drous mechanism.
Berzelius, in recording this fact Justly remarks
that 4" the living organism is TO be regarded as
small mass diffused in water"
Concerning salt, It is asked, What would be
the size Of tie saline matters constantly held in
solution by the earths seas, oceans, &c. ready for
other uses, If they could be separated therefrom
and held in Z single block Of a cubical form, like
the form Of saline particle, or one having six
faces at right angles to each otherl If the spe-
cifc gravity Of saline matter be taken at IL, and
water at 10, and the cubic foot Of water weighing
LOCO OUNCES then the cubic foot Of saline matter
viii weigh 800 ounces or about 100 lbs. weight;
so that the total nsmber Of cubic feet viii be Just
90 that Of the tons Of salt which have been in
Guided in the amount above given, or from hun
dred thousand billions Of cubic feet However
ruce It's estimate may be, it is considerably IN
der the truth. cubical block Of salt formed
from these saline ingredients to the extent above
estimated, would exhibit a massive block Of salt
extending every way, on all sides, about l40
miles. Or, % present 1t in another form, it
would exhibit an extensive continent of solid salt,
whose superficial extent would cover the whole
Of Europe including its islands seas, &c and
whose thickness would be the height Of the very
summit Of Mont Blanc, the most elevated noun.

teacher, no set of men are more ready 20 be H.

Europe are greater than at any former tlme-the
Tree trade system, by lowering the prices OF farm
products, has rendered it imperative on Govern
ments 10 enable the farmers 10 produce proper
tionate increased quantities to compete with for
eign prices; and did they not pursue this course,
revolutions would be inevitable or their farm pro-
ducts must be protected by high duties and while
our ratio Of crops have been yearly decreasing
those Of England have rs steadily increased until
the oppoHer-s of their new school Of politics are
daily becoming converts TO the new system
Every county in England now receives per an

of few lecturers to visit each County, collecting

appointed State Agricultural, and already the
good results have rendered both the Office and
the incumbent popular. No other State has
acted as yet in any way TO improve their greatest
source OF wealth. Two men might exchange
their hats once per hour for year, and neither OF
them would be improved in fortune at the end oil
the time, but if each of them could produce new
merchandise does the farmer, not only them
selves. but the body polite of which they form
part. would be benefited; and as one per cent.
Increase of crops would be more than equal IN
