TERRIBLE CALAMITY FROM CASA family
of five persons in st Louis lost their lives Jan.
eth by the inhalation of gas during the night
and morning, which escaped by the bursting of
n metre in the cellar of the house. Two dogs in
the room were also suffocated. The family oc-
occupieda chamberove the store, and the gas
from the cellar filled the building so completely
that but few could stand it the day after the dis
covery of its victims. This terrible catastrophe
should serve as n warning to those who use gas,
and where its sutfocating effects can possibly
reach their sleeping apartments.

The Boston Commonwealth saws that now lin.
mnating fluid has beendeveoped in New Y ork,
which will, in great measure, sl,percede spirit
lamps, as soonas the Patent Office can settle its
doubts Large manufactures of benzule, a by-
dro- carbon which has the property ofproduc;ng an
excellent illuminating gas by being dissolved in
moist air, are going upin New Y DIRK and BROOKLYN.
The Substance is manufactured from tar or min
eral coal and while it be afforded at half the
price of ''burning fuid' per gallon, it will Weld
infinitely more illumination. The use of it
would require gasometer and gas fixtures in
each house, but the cheapness of the consump-
ton will put moveable lamps of every kind near
ly out of use.

cable in governments, aud the machine Of State
operated upon by Two aEtagouist political forces
will not obey strictly The impulse of either
The Wings may not be able, it is true, to give'
it the exact direction they would desire, but
they can at least make it direrge from the path
presented by the Democrats. The memory of
every reader will supply him with illustrations
of the truth of this remark.
Three instances of the Kind occurring in the
recent political history of our own State, pre-
sent themselves to our minds at this moment.-
If our memory does not egregiously misend U.S.
both of the present Senators from Virginia.
Messrs Mason and Hunter, We're originally
elected to the stations which they now hold,
mainly by Wing votes, in opposition to the
will Of majority of the Democratic party. His
late Exceilency, Governor Floyd was elevated
to the gubernatorial chair under similar circum-
stances. Thus we see that the Democratic party
though possessing on each of these several oc-
casions an overwhelming majority in the
General Assembly, was each time foiled in the
attempt to elect its tavorite candidate. We do
not pretend to say whether the Wings acted
wisely or unwisely in voting for the gentlemen
we have named. Many may be of the opinion
that they gained nothing by their election
This is question which we shall not under
take to discuss, is it material to our purpose
to do so. We simply cite these facts as illus
trative ofthe powerwhich well organized mino-
rity possesses to thwart the will and check the
action off majority. When prosttuted to the
purposes of faction this power may, it is true, be
productive of incalculabe mischief but when
employed under the direction of a high and
patriotic sense of public duty, it may of
ten be made the instrument of averting the
direst evils.
We suggest this view for the benefit of those
Democratic party, having undisputed possession
of the Government, it is useless for the Wings
to struggle any longer, or even to preserve their
party organization. But, as we before remark
ed, we feel no apprehension whatever that this
sentiment will ever be shared by any considera-
BILE portion of the Wings of this State. Power
full in numbers, intelligence and wealth, embra
cling in its ranks host of talented speakers and
writer's, the Wing party of Virginia must ev-
continue to present formidable front to its
opponents. 1t may sink temporarily into apa-
thy and indifference under the depressing influ-
ence of defeat, but surely as the sun breaks
through the cloud or wthe illow rises when the
blast has passed over, its spirit will revive and
its energy return whenever an occasion shall
arise to call them forth. The principle of vitali-
ty is too strong within it to be trampled out, and
as long as the principle of Good shall war with
the principle of Evil, so long will the principle
of Whigism war with that of Democracy.
