Water-Gas,

At the experiment by which Wilmington
was lighted with water-gas on Saturday
evening, rosin was the carbonizng element
employed: but the process is not confined to
the use of rosin, for it also covers the use OF
bituminous coal, Ignite, or any OF the null
titudinous forms of hydro-carbonaceous ma
terial. Therefore. ruinouS rise IN the
price of rosln, anticipated by IN able CORES
pendent, need not be dreaded. In the South,
where rosin is largely produced, it will be
the carbonizing element In other places va
rious substitutes, equally available, will be
employed.
The quantity of coal-gas annually used IN
the city of Philadel phia is estimated at 6Oo,-
DOC, 900 cubic feet, for which at 81 D per thou
sand, the public pay 100000 per annum.
Say that the water. gas be supplied at 81 per

public would be s7j0,O00 New York con-

The Massachusetts, Democracy Divided.

BosroN. October 6.-The l,eMocFatic Con-
yention Of the lst Congressional District yes
terday elected William c. \. Swift and Ed
ward Merrill, of New Bedford, delegates to
the Charleston Convention. Resolutions
were adopted, of which the thread is as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That we hold to the doctrine OF
popular sovereignty as contained in the COM
promise measures of 1850, as explained by
the Kansas Nebraska act of 1854, rs recog-
Missed by Mr.. Buchanan in his letter accept
ing the Presidential nomination, aGd rs en-
dorsed by the people Of the Territory, that
the people of o Territory, when they come to
exercise their sovereignty in the formation
of State Constitution, have right to mould
the institutions of the nascent State to suit
themselves; but denying that territorial
Legislature, the creature Of Congress, can do
what Congress cannot do, that is, either erect
or abolish the institution of slavery within
the Territory.
The Democratic Convention of the Sd Con-
eressional District yesterday nominated Hon:
Bradford L. Wales aud Geo. q. Underwood
as delegates to the Charleston Conyention.-
The following resolution among others, was
adopted.
Resolved, That tbs people Of Territory
as we'll az Of State, have ths right to decide
for themselves whether or not slavery shall
exist within it's limits.
The Convention was rather stormy.

A Scene at the St. Louis Fair.

A st. Louis correspondent OF the Chicago
Press furnishes the following
"The most exciting accident at the fair,
was the grand runaway, turnover, and smash
up among the fast men, who were showing oil
their horses and sulkies in the ring on Thurs
day last. About twenty five horses and sulkes
were flying around the ring in the presence
of ten or twelve thousand persons. when one
driver ran into the gig of another one, which
frightened his horse. The horse bounded OFT
at full speed, striking several other horses
and sulkies, and starting them Oft likewise.
Within minute the panic and runaway
feeling were communicated to almost every
horse in the ring. Gigs were smashed to
splinters; drivers were hurled headlong from
their seats to the ground and run over; some
of them held on to their rens, and were drag
ged along; one or two got caught with their
feet in the wheels, and were hurled about IN
frightful manner. Some of the horses at
tempted to Jump over the railing among the
frightened spectators. Others plunged mad.
ly for the entrance and exit places. and dash
ed their vehicles to pieces against the side OF
the passage way.
Just picture to your mind a score OF
higll-mettled horses attached to carriages, all
running away promiscuously on the space OF
an acre crushing against each other, rolling
over and springing up. plunging. kicking
and squealing around and across the area III
pell-mell terror and confusion, with portions
of broken gigs following, their drivers rolling
or dragging in the dirt among the debris Of
sulkies and hoofs of the frightened horses
add to this the rush of hundred hardy men
into the ring, trying to stop the horses, many
of whom getting kicked down and run over.
and the shouts of ten thousand men and
screams of FIVE thousand women, and
YOU can form some idea of how the
scene looked to the spectator. In five min
utes it was all over, and horses, men and
gigs had cleared the ring. Strange tc
teil, no one was killed, though several re
ceived severe COMMISSIONS, and few escaped
without bloody faces or soiled and torn gar
ments. The whole accident strongly remin
ded ore of the descriptions given of the old
| Roman gudiatcrial contests with wild AMI
mails witnessed in tho great Coliseum o.
Rome. The last exhibition of horssmanshiI
was not down in the bills, and the crowd adj
| iourned for their homes and stopping places
after witnessing this ring performance"
