NJ Sick Headache Remedy.--A remedy

III Sick Headache Remedy.--A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to the public is attracting great attention. not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there are so great number of people who are af
Aicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public DIR.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his "rem-
edy,n is physician in this city, in high standing
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed has attractedthe attention
fall sufferers from headache who have heard of it.
From our own knowledge Of DIR. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor it receives and that il will
prove to be a great benefit TO all who may give il
a trial.--Lgnn Nescs, December %, 1853.

VITOOD GAs.-In reply to the statement
wv in your paper Of the 7th instant, that am
incorrect as 10 McConnelps patent OF 1851, permit
me TO say that McConnell's patent Of that date
contem plates the making Of gas, tar, pitch, and
charcoal from pine wood. The patent was granted
for the apparatus The recent patent Of McCon.
nell is for a process in making gas from wood, and
not for an apparatus. The application was made
for his apparatus and process, but the Patent Office
refused 10 consider both subjects under one spp-
cation, ruled out the claim 10 the apparatus, and
granted the patent for the process, which consists
merely in subjecting the products OF the destruc-
tive distillation Of wood 10 higher degree Of heat
than that necessary to their development. Leu
tenant Porter was party TO an interference de-
clared between himself Mcconnell, and two Ger
man chemists Mr.. Porter however, did not in
tend to claim the principle Of "rehesting," and
having been informed by the Patent Office
that II he claimed this he would be q party
TO the contest, he thereupon dsclsimed il, the
Office removed him from the interference and
granted him a patent before the interference
between the remaining parties was decided. His
patent was granted for an apparatus, the use Of
which necessarily involves McConnell's claim TO
the re-heatng, and which, Of course, is ,subordi-
nate TO McConnel's patent. Mcconnell proved
his invention clearly back to 1s49, and triumphed,
and as the German chemists state in their foreign
patent of 1851, that wood gas cannot be made
available without the relocating, SO il has been
found here The advantages claimed for wood
gas are many, and although not superior to coal,
rosin, or oil, under all circumstances, yet il has
been found TO be decidedly so under some. re-
cent investigation in the city Of London showed
that n cubic foot Of soil taken anywhere in the
city, contained poison enough 10 kill man. These
were sulphuretted hydrogen and bisulphuret OF
carbon, derived from the inftration Of the gas
through the soil from old and leaky pipes, etc
The gas from wood is not disagreeable 10 the
smell and is not deleterious any further than pure
carbureitedhydrogen.

IMPORTANT POLITICAL MOVEMENT.

IMPORTANT POLITICAL MOVEMENT.
Our readers may remember that we repub-
lished, some days ago, from the Albany Express,
a communication which stated that leading
Silver Gray Wings had held private meeting
at Albany, and that the meeting had deter
mined to make movement Immediately after
the New York election, having for its object
the organization of the Silver Gray forces. That
information seems to be correct inasmuch as a
letter signed by the Hon. Francis Granger has
been circulated, which recommends, in the
name Of committee, the holding Of a conven-
ton early in January, to reinstate the Wing
party on its old platform. The letter, as we
find it published in the Journal Of Commerce
of Tuesday, is as follows;
"ALBASY, Oct 20, 1854.
"DEAR Sir: Upon consultation among q
number Of National Wings from different parts
of the State, it has been deemed advisable to
call convention to assemble at this place
early in January, to reinstate the Wing party
on its old platform recently discarded at Auburn.
II is proposed to issue an address To- the Wings
throughout the State, in which the principles Of
the National Wing party win be plainly de.
clared, expressing decided opposition TO the
Nebraska bill, as violation Of the Missouri
Compromise, and adhering to the Wing princi-
pies established by the National Convention at
Baltimore, in 1852; pledging ourselves to op-
pose all propositions for the fusion Of the Wing
party with any other for the purpose Of forming
sectional party based upon the agitations Of
the day. The time for decisive action has ar
rived, and the coming winter will determine
whether National Wing party shall cease To
exist. Should your views coincide with those
herein expressed, be pleased to forward your
name, together with the names of such other
reliable men in your neighborhood as you may
select, to James Kidd, esq, Of this city, without
delay, that they may be printed with the adj
dress.
"By order Of the Committee,
"FRANCIS GRANGER"
The few lines in the Journal Of Commerce
which introduce this letter, say that an ad
dress to the Wings has been prepared, ant
will he issued Immediately after the election
whatever may be the result We may expect
therefore, that an address will make its ap
pearance, in few days, which will give us |
better idea of the spirit which will actuate tn
proposed organization than we can form witt
the lights now before us. Mr.. Changers letter
however, induces us to fear that but little vii
be done towards establishing National Whil
party in New York, worthy to bear that name
That letter states that the address will oppos
the Nebraska bill decidedly, as violation o

TUEsDAYs ELECTIONs.

We publish in our Geographic columns, this
morning, the returns of the elections in New
York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and Illinois,
received by us yesterday evening Thus far
we have no information from Michigan.
Our readers were doubtless fully prepared
for singular contest in the Empire State.
Parties in that State have Eeen for some time
split up into innumerable fragments, and those
fragments have formed various combinations
and changed their positions SO often that the
most practiced eye could not make any reliable
estimate of the real condition Of things. It
required close attention, and no little aptitude
for the business, to learn the names and under
stand the characteristics of the many factions
which appeared a the political arena.
The history fthe country, we are sure, does
not present = parallel to the recent election in
New York. But few Of the many thousands Of
votes cast, were given with reference to any
political principles which has hitherto divided
parties in our country. The result is not
known; but enough is known to show that
even the National Democrats did not sustain
their candidate for Governor; that the Softshell
candidate received large number of votes not
belonging to his party, because Of his position
on the Maine Liquor law that the Wing can
didate was not supported by the entire strength
of his combined factions, and that the Know
nothing candidate gained an unexpected ac-
cession of strength, which has most probably
elected him Governor.
The Congressional vote, and the vote for
members of the State Legislature, were init
mately connected with the Gubernatorial vote
and it is very clear that there was bargaining
all around, whilst there was but little straight
forward voting. The next New York Legisla-
ture will elect Mr.. Stewards successor or re-
elect him and as the success or defeat ofthat
gentleman was believed to be an important fact
connected with the next presidential canvass,
many of all parties regarded the next Legislature
as more important than the next Governor or
than the complexion of the next Congressional
delegation from New York. Many private ar
rangements were doubtless made on account of
this, and those arrangements have had their
effect on the vote for Governor.
The returns, thus far, make the defeat of the
Wing Fusion candidate almost certain. We
will not, however, be too sanguine. But if it
should turn out that Myron 81. Clark is defeat
ed in despite of his motley array, great ca
lamity viii have been prevented, and whole
some lesson taught to, aspiring politicians who
seek power by combining unprincipled fac
tons. If to that result should be added the
election of a safe and trustworthy Legislature,
there will be much cause for congratulation,
Notwithstanding those untoward events which
have been visible for some time. But our
readers will examine the returns for themselves,
and draw their own conclusions. We shall
wait for the smoke to clear away before We
make extended comments on this singular
election. 1t will be time enough then for US
to speak.
