rhe woOd-Gas Controversy.
RATHER sharp but distant firing

kAThEk sharp but distant firing Is
IA carried on by some parsons interested in
Wood-Gas Patents and ". perceive that the
smoke Of their cannon has somewhat obscured
their vision. DIR. G. G.. Page, as the attorney for
w. T. Mcconnell having presented his claims
through our columns, l.. X. Breisach, of this CITY,
has presented those OF Pettenkofer 81 rutland OF
Baysria-he being their assgnee-ihrough the
columns Of the Daily Times of the Sd instant. He
states that the first patent for the Bavaran inyen-
tion was issued on February "a, 1851, an authen-
Heated copy Of which has been filed in our Patent
Office; also, that the claims of his assgnors 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 10 the apparatus, which embraces
The relocating Of the gas-passing it red hot
surface in It's way 10 the cooler-after il is gene
on page 80. Now, AZ Mcconnell claims 10 have
~ far back rs 1SIe-two years previous 10 the
granting ofthe Bavarian patent-and as he OBJ
iained patent for the same on the Goth day OF
September last, although contested by Petienko
Ter * Rutland, we cannot well conceive who L. r.,
Breisach wants to friehtsn, by declaring, through
the columns Of the Times, that he viii prosecute

this notice 10 all who take interest in the intro.

When be again writes 10 inform the public that he
