Damage hY Gas.

The Manchester, N. H. Mirror describes
the following effects of gas in that place. We
trust the evils complained of there will be
guarded against in this city.
We are so great lover of gas light, be-
cause of It's beuaty, convenience and safety in
comparison with that of odious and life-killing
burning fluid, that it goes across to speak in
terms Of disrespect of anything pertaining to
the Gas Works of this city. But it is due to
the public that we should make a full state
ment of damage done by gas in this city-due
to the large towns and cities which may here
after start gas works, that they may know
how to guard against the evils, resulting from
gas, that we have experienced in this city,
are experiencing, and shall be likely to ex-
perience for a long time to come. Much Of
the main gas pipe running through the streets
where gas is used, was put down before it
was tested, and as a natural consequence,
there were pin holes and pea holes through
which the gas made its escape. The pipes
were buried from four TO eight feet under
ground, and winter coming on soon, the ground
froze, and the gas from the pipes spread itself
beneath, the frost all winter doing its work of
death. And the work it did is sad to behed.
At least three hundred beautiful shade and or
namental trees, and much choice shrubbery
have been killed or SO injured that they will
be dead by another summer. The water flow
ing into dozen wells has been so injured by
gas that it is not fit to use. A reservoir is
now being dug near the City Hotel, and a
handful of dirt taken from it, 25 feet from the
main pipe, and six feet lower down, is so
strongly impregnated with gas as to be often
sive. All the dirt taken from the hole is of
the same character. This fact shows that the
gas diffilses itself through the ground for long
distances from the main pipes, where there
are leaks. What kind Of trees or shrubberv
can ever draw life giving nutriment from
soil in such condition.
Not the owners of trees are the only losers
the sight of them gives pleasure to all of u.s.
Five hundred dollars might be raised in a sin
gle hour, if that could save the solitary young
elm in the centre of Elm street, from the
deadly effects of gas

The Secretary of War.

Col. JEFFERSON DAVIS arrived at Hartford
Conn. Sept. 9Th, from the White Mountains
At public dinner rendered to him BY his friends
in Hartford, Col. Davis gave the following elo-
quent speech -
lie spoke of his own political position as
States Rights man, claiming that State Sover-
eighty was essential TO true republicanism. 10
joining the coniederacy and subsequently, en-
lering into more complete and lasting union,
did Connecticut surrender her state sovereign
ty! Would she to-day give up her well estab-
lished rights as Siatep Every son of Con-
necticut will respond with hearty Mol! and
this makes him a states rights man al heart,
whatever his profession may be. The states
right men Of the South are friends of the Union,
and they are fast friends of that great principle
of state sovereignty which alone can sustain and
perpetuate it. Mr.. Davis alluded to his visit
North. Seventeen years ago, then quite a
young man, he passed through New England
Since then there have been marked changes
here. The ingenuity of man has set in fnotion
complicated machinery, which seems to be en-
dorsed with reason. 1t passes forward and
and back, traversely, slowly, swiftly, as the
nature of its work requires. 1t cuts hard steel
and iron, as the joiner's plane shaves the soft
pine. These machines, sir, (turning 10 Col.
Colt,) which we have seen to-day, are wonder.
fnl 10 US Of the South and West-really won
derful, sir. They are the surprising results of
remarkable ingenuity. Your Repeating Pts
tolls, made in Hartford, are relied upon on the
borders Of Texas 10 protect the men aud women
Of that State from Indian depredalions. North
ern manufactures are used by southern families
These are all the sure bonds of Union. The
marks Of prosperity and happiness are all over
New England. The change in seventeen
years has been very great. But in looking at
these results of ingenuity and industry, he
turned with great pleasure to the men Of New
England. Above all he appreciated them
They were warm hearted, cordial, hospitable,
intelligent. And in viewing New England as
whole, he was tempted TO say, here let my
home be- He thought that there was not per-
sonal intercourse enough between the North
and South. We should be better acquainted
and understand each other better. Surely the
result would be happy one. The reporter
does not pretend to give more than an idea OF
Mr.. Davis's remarks. He was frequently in
terrupted by applause, and his brief, though
feeling and eloquent speech will long be re-
lnemoered and cherished by all who had the
pleasure Of hearing it. Ia conclusion he gave
- The health and prosperity Of old Connecticut
"nOSe sons are found in every Stale in the I'm
