ImpOrtant InventIon,

Mr. Geo. W. Seal, citizen of Winchester,
Va, we learn from the Republican, has per-
fectad an apparatus for the generation of gas
from grease, from any animal or vegetable
snbstai ce which contains unciuous properties
The apparatus may be attached to a kitchen
chamber stove, and one pint of grease, the
offa If the table. will make about q hundred
cubic feet of gas Which burns with a brillian-
cy unsurpassed by any other gas, and no smoke
or noxous element escapes from il while burn
ing. single burner, with brilliancy of
about fifteen candles, will only consume four
feet per hour; so that a pint of grease will
serve TO illuminate an ordinary dwelling for
week. The entire work, the Republican says,
can be put up at a cost within the reach of
all; are simple and not liable to get into dis
order. We hail this inveGtion as another ev-
idence that there is inventive genius in the
South, which, if properly fostered and devel-
oped, will soon relieve from the tauat of
dependence upon Northern manufacturers and
artists for the conveniences and embellish-
ments Of orr homes. We fully agree with
the Republican, that Mr.. Seal should lose no
time In putting his invention as speedily as
possible before the public for immediate use.

[oOrresponasnoe of the Baltimore SUM-

Correspondence Of the Baltimore SUM-
WAsH1EGToN, Nov'r. 24.-The Democratic
newspapers from The Northern States g me to
rs with articles upon the Kansas convention,
and it would appear that the opposition to the
action Of the convention from leading Demo
cratic journalists is becoming more and more
decided and intense. The journals received
last right are replete with dennnciatIons OF
the convention and its acts, as utterly hostile
TO the meaning and intent of the KaDsas-Ne-
brsska bills. and a violation of the pledges
given by the Administration, by Gov. Walk
er and Judge Douglas to the people of Kansas,
that they should have an opportunity to vote
upon the constitution which should be framed
by the convention. The Philadelphia Press
and the Chicago Times follow up their views
in daily and vigorous articles, which wear an
air of more than usual political authority.
1t is now quite certain that the latter organ
speaks the sentiments If Judge Douglas, the
reputed author and able defender of the
KaDsas-Nebraska act. We're it not so, we
should have been advised of the fact ere this
rumor prevails, also that Governor Walker
himself is decidedly and openly hostile to the
acts of the convention, and will oppose the
acceptance of the constitution to be submit-
ted by them to Congress. Gan this be sff
We shall soon see. Governor Walkers friends
here have supposed that he was on the side OF
the convention in this matter.
Meanwhile, the administration have deter
mined to sustain the convention, aud are IN
favor of the acceptance of the consultation by
Congress, in whatever form it may come
and it can only come with the slavery article.
1t is much to be regretted that this distur-
bling topic should again be brought before
Congress ard the country, and it is now to be
presented in a more exciting form, apparently,
than at any previous lime. The contest will
be so sharp in the Democratic ranks on this
subject, that it will be hardly necessary for
the Black Republicans to aggravate it

NJ al. VIM. H. Polk aud the KmOVV-NOth-
ing Order.

During recent debate in the House of Repre-
sentatives between Mr. Nancy, Of Davidson, and
Maj Polk, of Maurv, the former intimated that the
latter at time member of the Know
Nothing Order. In reply to Mr.. Nancy, Major
Polk said, in substance, that although he had had
the ritual ami obligations read to him. be had never
taken the obligatiOns-had never entered Know
Nothing Council-and that-the prty offered him
everything, and he rejected it with scorn.
This declaration, wnrn il WIS read in the pro-
ceediugs OF the House, must have been-indeed,
il must still be-vtry humiliiting to the friends OF
Maj. Polk. Coming from a man of his position, it
is remarkable to say the least of it.
NJ ,jor Polk not only entered Know-Nothing
Council and took the Oaths and obligations OF the
Order, but very willingly suffered himself to b.
nominated as its candidate for Congress, and de
clined the nomi' alton, (not with scorn," only
when he had fully Satisfied himself that tn plrty
in this District too weak to elect him.
Maj. Polk denied Mr. Maney's ntimation-he
will not deny this Columbia Mirror

Mobile and Ohio Railroad.

On the 18th day of November the track had
been laid from Oolumbns, KY, TO within three
miles and sixty-six hundredth of mile, of
the Tennessee line, and there is no reasonable
doubt bat that the work has progressed at
the rate of about quarter of mile a day
since; therefore, we may safely say that the
work is now within two miles and a third of
the line. There were thirty-four hands en-
ployed, laying track at that time, and the
force constantly augnenting.
