The Chinese government are very willing 10
grant anything that foreigners may ask il they
will give them practical aid but it is to be
feared on no other terms will they open the in
terror of China, unless forced to do SO by su.
perior power. ~ II
The state of China at this time is melancho.
ly in the extreme Shanghai has been for the
last year IN the possession of party of rebels
entirely distinct from the followers Of Thae-
ping-wang. 1t is closely besieged by the i'm.
perial forces, amounting to some 10000 men.
The interior of the city is completely in ruins,
and presents fearful picture Of the horrors OF
war. Canton is, also, closely besieged by the
Triads, another distinct party of insurgents.
The Chinese merchants and their families have
been leaving in numbers for Hong-kong to
place themselves under the protection of the
English. Trade there is almost entirely stopp-
ed, owing to the troubles, and the principal
shipments of teas, silks, &C., have been from
Shanghai and Fuchau, but even at these ports
serious Interruptions have occurred. The
Thaeping-wang" party holds almost entire
possession of the rich country watered by the
Yang-tae river as far down as Chin-kiang-fee,
some two hundred miles from its mouth.
They had avanced within short distance of
Pekin, but were driven back. They still hold
possession of the mouth Of the grand canal.
1t is impossible to form any opinion of the
length of time to elapse before order is restored
the Chinese say twenty years.

who can accomplish this, would be entitled TO the
character of public benefactor. Mr. BENTON
dssents from the movement for the reason that
il would have a bad effect on the settlement Of
Kansas. AT the next session Il would be super
seeded by events, as Kansas will form a State
government and demand admission into the
Union.
IA AS TO resistance TO the admission of State
which countenances and establishes slavery, as
avowed by Mr.. MACE, Mr.. BENTON says, State
with the necessary requisites, has the right 10 be
admitted, with or without slavery--a right ante
rior and superior 10 Congress or The Constitution !;
an inherent right OF State sovereignty, possessed
before the Constitution was formed, and not sur
rendered to the Federal Government and retained
by the States. Besides, Kansas, being a part of
the former province OF Louisiana has right,
under the treaty between France and this coun-
try, 10 be incorporated into the Union soon as
it can be done in accordance with the provisions
Of the Federal Constitution.
Mr. BARRY addressed the committee in con-
demnation of the Know-nothing movements.
Mr.. BANKS replied, defending that organiza-
ton. M

appropriations for the Indian Department and the
West Point Academy were passed.

The Wood-Gas Controversy.
RATHER sharp but distant firing


IA carried on by some persons interested in
Wood-Gas Patents and we perceive that the
smoke of their cannon has somewhat obscured
their vision. DR.. G. G.. Page, as the attorney for
w. p. Mcdonnell, having presented his claims
through our columns, l.. r. Breisach, of this city,
has presented those of Pettenkofer & Rutland, OF
Bavaria-he being their assignee--through the
columns of the Daily Tunes of the Sd instant. He
states that the first patent for the Bavarian nyen-
ton was issued on February "a, 1851, an anthem
tcated copy of which has been filed in our Patent
Office; also, that the claims of his assignors were
filed in the Office, to protect their rights more
than year ago. As no patent can be obtained
for making or using Wood-Gas, the disputed
point relates TO the apparatus, which embraces
the reheating OF the gas-passing il over redhot
surface in its way TO the coolerafter il is gene
rated; this is clearly stated in DIR. Pages letter.
on page so. Now, Mcconnell claims 10 have
invented the apparatus for reheating Wood-Gas,
as far back as lS4e-fwo years previous 10 the
granting of the Bavarian patent-and as he OBJ
tanned a patent for the same, on the Goth day Of
September last, although contested by Pettenko-
fer IL Rutland, we cannot well conceive who l.. r.
Breisach wants TO frighten, by declaring, through
the columns Of the Times, that he will prosecute
the violators of the Bavarian invention. He gives
this notice all who take an interest in the intro
duction Of this invention but in doing So he for
got 10 present any fact upon which the public can
rely, 10 show what patent rights he possesses
When he again writes TO inform the public that he
has certain patent rights and will prosecute those
who infringe them, we hope he will be so good as
to state what these rights are, that the public
may know what he means--SeieRfifc AnzeTlcan

The latest breech of the peace occurred in
Plymouth township in this county, last Tues
day. Miss Harriet Brown, daughter of James
Brown, esq, had went in the evening before
to visit neighbor, Mr.. William Castor, and
the next morning as she was returning home
alone, pet deer, three years old, belonging to
Mr.. Castor, leaped over the high fence en-
closing his territory, and pursued her. He
overlook her about midway between Mr.. Cas-
ters and her fathers house, and at once at
tackled her-he struck her on the side with
sufficient force to cut with his horn through all
her outer and under clothing, and drew blood.
As Miss Brown fell, she courageously took
the deer by the horns and chung to him, some
times being dragged on the ground, and at
others regaining her feet-the animal all the
time striking and cutting her with his feet.
The deer, finding himself foiled by the courage
of the brave girl, attempted another mode Of
attack, and endeayored to push her up against
trees, and thus shake her from her hold on his
horns. But II was no go-she held on but
in the course of the struggle the deer dragged
Miss Brown near to a fence at a point where
there was large stack of straw placed against
II on the other side the poor girl, being una
BILE to make herself heard in her cries for help,
and finding herself much weakened from effort
and loss Of blood, cast about her for some
source to escape, and looked upon the straw
stack as the only safe retreat-and maneuvre-
ing so as to get the deer near up TO the fence,
let go his horns with her right hand, and tried
the "gouge game'-putting her thumb into
his eye, gave it a hard push; this so hurt and
frightened the beast, that as quick as light
ming he bounded back some fifteen feet from
her, and before he had recovered from his
fright sufficient to renew his attack, his fair
4 -
and from thence the top Of the stack, com.
pletely foiling her adversary. From her high
position she succeeded in attracting the atten.
ton Of a neighbor, who cameto her relief.
The fight lasted near an hour, and at its
close, Miss Browns clothes were nearly all
torn off her, and she was cut in almost every
part of her body by the hoofs of the animal.
We think this lady has courage and address
enough TO take any circumst snce Of life "by
the horns," and could share in the adventures

ITO ALL WHOM 1T MAY CoNCERN.-.

Il j hereby make known TO the public that i
have obtained Patent from the United States
for an improved Saw, and am now ready TO dis
pose Of rights, or furnish those with Saws who
wish TO avail themselves of this vast improve
ment. This Saw will cut double the amount in
any given time, with the same power, as that OF
the ordinary saw. The nature Of my invention is
so TO construct the teeth of the Saw that each
tooth shall cut its way clean through the wood
without tearing or forcing the Saw; each tooth
acting a mortising chisel, and cutting chip or
core Of the same thickness that each tooth stands
IN advance Of the one next behind il the cutting
part Of each tooth is exactly vertical; and, not
withstanding each tooth advances in front OF the
one next behind il the blade of the Saw TO be of
equal width requiring the back Of the Saw to be
inclined forward. The size Of the opening be-
tween the teeth TO be increased or reduced, &C.
cording TO the length Of the Saw and size of the
timber TO be cut, 80 that each space between the
teeth shall be capable OF holding the entire chip
or core that the tooth behind il may cut of. The
Saw is capable Of being attached 10 any mill.
