CHAMpAcNE-The Medical Times gives the
following account Of a new method Of increas-
ing the exhiirating properties of champagne
"a singular mode ofincreasing theintoxicating
power ofchampagne hasbeen discoveredinGerm
ny. Itappears that wine merchant Of Rheims has
for some years past enjoyed the almost exclusive
privilege of supplying the Kingdom of Wurt-
emberg with that wine, and that an extraordi-
nary effect has been noticed to attend the drink
ing Of single glars thereof Alter several
analyses Of the wine had been made, the con-
tents Of some of the bottles were examined by
Liebig, who ascertained by analysing its gasses,
that it contained one volume of carbonic acid
gas, and two of the laughing gas or protoxide
Of nitrogen. The last named gas, the peculiar
effects produced by which on the animal econ
0my, when it has been respired, are well known,
il prepared by the decomposition Of the nitrate
Of ammonia. If this salt be at all impure, and
not unfrequently when it is used absolutely pure,
nitrous acid is involved in the first instance dur
ing its decomposition.
Chemists, therefore, when preparing the laugh
ing gas, are in the habit of throwing away the
first proportions Of gas that come over, and fur
Their test the character of the gas before they al.
low it be to inspired as the nitrous acid gas would
ast on the economy as dangerous poison. Fur
tiermore, il the lungs contain air when this gas
is inhaled, nitrous acid gas will be formed, and
danger result. There is another danger occa-
sionally encountered, when this gas is used for
the purposes of exilheraton by respiration In
persons Of consumptivc habit, it may cause Sc
we're pain at the chest, difficulty of breathing,
and even splitting of blood In those who have
tendency TO apoplexy or palsy, mischief in the
head may be caused by its incautious USE How
far these results may be modified by the gas
being taken into the stomach, il is at present
impossible to say, but the subject admits of
and deserves further inquiry. At all events,
there is the danger of portion Of nitrous acid
gas being used in the wine, together with the
Laughing gas, and the adulteration is one of
most improper as well a singular character.
il can hardly be regarded as altogether nnocu-
ous"

iE1AS MOVING IN T GOOD CAUSE.-We
have been furnished by friend with late mum
Der Of the Colorado Tritu o. containing an Nc
count OF the organization Of y ,uthern Rights
Association for Matagorda county, and also u
copy OF the address, $40 the friends Of Southern
Rights in Texss," issued by the publishing com
rnlttee Of the association. The style and argu-
ment Of the address would be crcdtable to any
pen. We do not see how 1t can go unheeded
among the people of that State. Ofal the slave
States ia the Union, Texas has the greatest and
most exciting interest in slavery, and We feel
certain that her present generation or their pos
terlty will curse with rage the temporising policy
which has transferred her soil and Jurisdiction ioto
the hands fher enemies. The current Of 8 avery
has borne its course regularly southwest as
the Gulf stream has borne its course IN the OPP
posite direction; and while at the North one
State after another has been regularly dropping
slavery, and sending their slaves down the cur
rent, room has been made for them by timely
and fortunate additions Of slave territory, and
tho great evil of superabundance OF the race
has never heen felt in any State so far. But If
no new State can ever be admitted hereafter
with slavery, and if the Rio del Norte is to be
the dam over which this current is never to flow,
it needs no prophet or son OF a prophet to fore
see the future condition of that interesting
try. We are gratifed to recognize our old nc
quaintance and much respected friend, Capt. John
Hugely, formerly Of this county, the President
OF the Association. This of itself il evidence
enough for us of the patriotic character of the
whole proceeding. We also see that Col. Phil
lip Edward Pearson, formerly Of this State, is
one OF the sgners to the address. lie is man
Of character and talents The Tribune remarks
upon the meeting "We will assert that the
movement il entirely an unanimous one among
all the citizens of Matagorda county, but from
the brief space Of time allowed, and the very
limited effort made for obtaining signatures to
the "Confession Of Faith" md the number of
the signers and the position in life Of most of
them, we are led to infer that the association
will number very strongly in this county by its
next meeting in January"
The way before US is plain to all. If the
Government of the United States will not suffer
us TO extend the area Of slavery, we must dis
solve the copartnership, and extend it for our
selves, Selfpreservation is @higher law"
than Stewards. We hope That Texas will yet
be, as she undoubtedly ought to be- foremost in
the cause Of Southern Rights.
