INTERESTING GUNrowD

INTERESTING GUNrowDER ExpER1MExr.- The following is from the Druggists Circular, published in New York;
 In his seventh lecture, at the Smithsonian Institute, Dr. Reid described the failure of an intending incendiary to do great act of mis chief by the very means le adopted to make his success more certain. Thus to insure an explosion of gunpowdor in a certain case the fellow had covered it with quantity of spirits of turpentne, but on isniting it only the turpen- tine burnt, and the powder continued as before. The philosophy of this the lecturer showed bv striking experiment. wherein again and again turpentIne poured on a quantity of gunpowder was isn'ted and burned out, and the powder remained unburnt. This was explained on the principle of the candle, that the gunpowder acts as wick to the turpentine, and will not itself ignite so long as any of the terpentine remains to burn. A piece of common cotton cloth, such as ladies' dresses are made of, was then burnt; and then piece of similar texture which had been dipped in a solution of saam- moniac, was exposed to the action of fire but would not burn. A similar piece steeped in a solution of silecate of potash, was also shown to be quite ucombustible .Scientjfc Ansertcaa.

NEW SOUTHERN STArE.-S. Fulsom, a Choctaw. and one of the most prominent of his nation paid us visit yesterday. Mr. Fulsom is in favor of having the Indian territory west of Arkansas, between the Red and the Arkansas rivers, and extending westward to the one hun dredth degree west longitude, organized into State, and admitted into the Union. We think such step absolutely necessary for the protec- ton of the South. The Choctaws and Cnero- kees are shareholders, and would add another slaveholding State to the coniederacy. .-Mens- phis Eagle.

SALES OF INDIAN TRUST LANps.-The com missioner of Indian affairs has received high
 y interesting letter from E. S. Stevens. esq. special commissioner to superiutend the sales of Wea, Pankeshaw, kaskaskia and Peoria trust lands, dated at Paoa, Kansas Terrtory, June 2Gth, 1851. Mir. Stevens states that, in accordance with the proclamation of the Pesi dent and the instructions he had recei Ved from the department, he commenced the sale on Wednesday, the 2ith ult, at 10 o'clock, A. M, but as the building for his accommodation had not been completed, he had adjourned the sale until the 25th, on which day seventy eight parcels of land were sold. The next day nine ty-six parcels were sold, which is about the quantity expected to be sold each day. He had not found it necessary to make any regui- slhon upon the officer in command at Fort Leavenworth for troops, and trusted that noh- ing would occur during the sale to require any such requisition. A large number of people were in attendance from almost every State m the Cnion, and the very best of feeling prevail ed, and not the last disturbance or dissatis faction had arisen. Nearly every piece of land was claimed by settlers, and taken at its valuation. What WAS not taken in this way brought gen. eraIy three dollars an acre. Having no troops he had employed few picked men to act as a guard upon the money received, and he had full corps of clerks, who were constantly em- ployed twelve hours day. The Register and Receiver were both in attendance, in the dis charge of their several duties - Uustingtoa Union, lOh.
