The FILLMORE REsoLUTloNs.-The resolutions
adopted by the Wing Convention of Charlottes-
vile, approving Of the patriotic Administration Of
President Fillmore, unmistakable evidence
of the sentiment of the party in this State. The
present able Chief Magistrate of the country is
undoubtedly the choice Of the Virginia Wings.
The substitute resolutions that were offered
made a regular nomination of Mr.. Fillmore for
the next Presidential term. These not adopt
ed on the ground Of inexpediency. A positive
nomination deemed premature at this time,
however much the action of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
and Massachusetts, in expressing their preferences
for Gen. Scott and MIR. Webster, might warrant
such a course.
When the proper time arrives, Mr.. Fillmore
will be noby sustained by The party in this State.
The resolutions, as adopted, declare him to be
entitled to our continued confidence and support.
This is significant of intentions for the future. and
without being paIpabe nomination, is the same
thing in effect. The resolutions were chiefly de-
signed to show the national, Union position as
sumed by the Wing party in the State as else
where. They declare, in plain words, that no
one will be supported whose fidelity to the Union,
the Constitution and the measures of Adjustment,
is not beyond all doubt. The party that takes this
stand must win its way to the estimation Of all.

FIRE ANNlHILAToRs-II strange it

Exactly so, neighbor; and we are not
aware that even an experimental exhl6l-
ton of the power of the marvellous
machine" has been made here. One acds
made at St. Louis and proved failure;
in excuse for which, however, 1t Is al
legged that the proprietor of the right OF
use for Mississippi purchased when the
thing was less perfec: than now. In
truth, we have little faith in the alleged
invention, and have been silent respec-
ting it because we preferred seeing for
ourselves, instead of taking for granted
the wholesale putting of certain English
papers. Only let New Workers see that
the machine IS a fire a7s1slailator. and
the inventors fortune is made.

ASTOUNDING INVENTION.

We notice an invention by Mr.. Solo.
mons, of Cincinnati. OF what he calls a
perfect substitute for steam! From com
mon whiting, suphuric acid and water, he
obtains carbon in the gaseous state; and
with the power exerted by this gas. he as
serts that he now drives a 25 horse engine.
and for one -lortieth the expense Of steam,
lifts and lets fall 10000 pounds five times
in minute. This fluid, without any heat
applied at all, exerts pressure of $40
pounds TO the square inch, while water in
the same unheated state has 10 pressure
but that Of gravity. Water, heated to the
boiling point, yields power Of fifteen
pounds. This fluid. with the same heat
would yield power of nearly 10000
pounds And what is more, u handful ol
charcoal, and boiler the size Of tea.
kettle, will produce, at the expense OF a
few cents. tue whole of this tremendous
energy! Fifty dollars expense in carbon
would carry one Of the Collins steamers
from New York to Liverpool.-Bait. Sun.

Professor of Music, went to an undertake

parenty in excellent health ordered his
coffin, stating that he felt an unmistakable
presentiment that he would die in the af-
tsrnoon. The undertaken, regarding it as
Jest, took no further notice OF the matter.
and in short time forgot all about the ai-
fair. Mr.. Gherkin, alter leaving the es-
tablishiBg. went home. was shortly after
wards taken sick, and at an early hour in
the evening was corpse. The matter is
altogether inexplicable, as Mr.. G. appeared
in excellent health, and was not subject
to alterations Of intellect. ',s q 4
