AN IMPORTANT DEscovERY.-Profrssor
B. F. Greenougb, of Boston, has discovered
a new process by which burning fluid and
camphean are made non explosive, thereby
saving the risk of accidents which have be
come so frequent in our vicinity. The pro
cess by which this distderdtam is attaied
consists in the complete saturation of the
camphene fluid with carbonic acid gas. This
gas, it is we'll known, is unable to support
combustion, land, indeed, in considerable
quantities it is as effective an ~extingnishor
Of fire as water itself) and VIXEN combined
with burning fluid, utterly destroys its explo-
character without in the least impairing its

The report ola collision between Gen.
Lane and the Dragons turns out, rs we
expected, to be without founda.ion It
will be seen from the letters of our cor
respondent that Lane has returned to
Lawrence after cfecting the liberation Of
the Free State men who were held as
prisoners in Fort Scott.
Our correspondent estimates that at
the election of the Dist Of December,
with aid from Missouri, about three thou
sand votes were polled. sevcn-eiehts Of
them for tie Constitution with Slavery.
The votes were principally cast at polling
places convenient 10 Missouri.
Though the Lawrence Convention had
determined to take no part iu the elcc-

there was also said to be still another in

which suggested themselves to me on

when a person undertakes to correct an

enforce the right by some other argument
than mere sav-so. This "B" has not

that you were wrong. 4 second thought
is, that eating and drinking, or as "B"
calls it "Feasting" is not proof in itself
Of attachment Judas rose from the Ia
