Fire Obtnincd BY Wnter.

A Paris journal publishes curious ac-
Meudt, for the decomposition Of water. and
combustion of hydrogen thus obtained.
The apparatus consists of small copper
boiler provided with a safety valve, and a
pipe which passes into tubluture bottle,
with two necks, placed near the boiler.
From the second tubluture another tube
passes under the boiler. About two litres-
nearly half gallon-are poured into the
latter, aud about halfa litre of weak tar
water into the tubulated bottle. A spirit
lamp being applied to the boiler, where it
yields its oxygen to the tar by which oxyde
of carbon is generated. The hydrogen OF
the steam being thus set at liberty, accu-
mulaies in the bottle and then passes through
the second tube 10 the bottom Of the boiler
where its meets the flame of the spirit lamp.
A most extraordinary effect. approaching as
near as possible to the visionary principle
ofperpetual motion. is the result for, the
spirit lamp being taken away, the hydrogen
generated burns with its own fame, and
makes the water boil this engenders fresh
steam which is decomposed as before, and
furnishes new supply of hydrogen, which
feeds the fame, and SO on, not ad iatiniium,
but until the water in the boiler is exhausted
all that has to be done in order 10 have a
perpetual fame is 10 keep up he supply of
water, and also, when necessary, TO renew
the tar water. This discovery, applied to
steam engines and locomotives, a task which
the inventor hus already performed, is ca
pable of producing an immense saving of
fuel.

maic as to correct the gcrrymandoring by

ton, the popular voto was largely Ropubi-
can, tho majority returned to the Lcgisla-
turo was tho other way. Those, together
with righting all tho wrongs Of the uery
Democratic Legislature, will be sufficient to
render tho election ofa Republican majority
to that body of great consequence. True,
say some careless stay.at-hOmo voters in
Gcuuga. but what is the use; OHr ticket is
safe enough any way, and it's no difference
whether | attend election or not. But ii
all, or any considerable number, adopt this

Tho Safe Middle Ground"

The Washington Constitution has much
to say Of the "safe middle ground" spon
which the whole Democratic party is call
ed to unite, regarding the question Of
slavery in the Territories, This "safe
middle ground" is thus laid down by the
national organ:
The Cou sitution, according to the de.
cision Of the highest tribunal known to
this Government. SECURES TO EVERY cITI-
ZEN TIE RIGHT OF TAKING AND
HOLDING HIS SLAVES IN ANY OF
THE TERRITORIES OF THE UNITED
STATES. This is the bond, and by it We
believe the people OF the Northern States
are willing to abide. Honor, truth, plight
ted faith, and every other sacred principle
known and appreciated by individuals aud
communities, demand il.

flows from this statement Of facts? THB

The Finals.

A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune
after describing a Camp Meeting in Fair.
fax Co., Va, thus concludes:
Immediately after the camp broke up
last Friday, twenty.seven negroes were
sold on the ground to some Southern
traders. Among this number, was one
woman and seven children. One OF the
men WAS on his knees engaged in prayer,
when the trader slapped him on the
shoulder and told him he must 60 with
him. He minated his willingness to go,
but assured his former master that If they
should meet up in Heaven he would have
a settlement with him there. The trader
stopped his mouth with his hand, and
handcuffed him. The whole party we're
then put into an omnibus, which was
ready Tor them, and they were conveyed
to Alexandria. Such is the way in which
the Virginia Methodis!s follow Christ.

ope.walking and its Consequences.

The rope. walking mania, inaugur"ied
by Mons. Blondin, has already been at'en-
ded with fatal consequences, and no one
can tell in what /, will end. Rope.walk-
ing is Of no earthly benefit, and ii is TO be
hoped that the experience now had, will
cure all who are ambitious to attempt it.
A rope. walker named De Lave, who,in
imitation Of 3londin, has recently been
performing numerous tricks at Genessee
Falls, attempted, the other day, 10 carry a
man across the chasm on his back; but,
when about half way across, the rope be-
gan to sway, and, discovering his danger,
he threw away his balance. pole, and catch
ing Tie rope by his arms, hung suspended
in this manner, until his hacker could
draw himself up, when they made their
way 10 the shore ms speedily as possible,
amidst the breathless anxiety oil the spec
tators.
A few days since, as some FIVE hundred
persons had collected on an iron canal
bridge at Albion, N. Y, to witness the per-
formance Of young rope.walker, the
bridge suddenly gave way and fell, will,
a crash, into the canal. Eighteen persons,
and perhaps more, lost their lives by tho
accident. This we call paying too deal
for the qualification Of Idle curiosity. The
Rochester Democrat says:
The rope walker had got part way
across The canal, when the bridge broke
/ in two at the centre, precipitating all who
were upon it into the middle Of ,he canal
Men, women. children, horses and wagons
were all piled in nm indiscriminate mass
The west half of the bridge went dowr
first, aid Of course many Of those who
stood near the break, were pitched off il
such way, that when the east half o
.he bridge came down, which it did i'm
medat"ly, it fell upon and covered then
up. Mr.. Grant informs us that pair y
horses and a carriage full Of people were
crushed in this way so completely tina
nothing had been found of them when hi
left-two hours after the accident.

THE CLERGY AND ToBACco.-Rcv. George
Trusk, the antitobacco apostle, who has
delivered so many lectures and written so
many books against tho Indian weed, says
that tho clergy of Now Hampshire are
united in favor of its abolition. the "sin" of
tobacco consumption having boon fully dis
cussod and condemned in the ministerial
conferences Of that state In recent letter
he writes;
"A statement was made at late conven-
ton OF the Congressional churches of New
Hampshire, that not one pastor in the whole
connection usod tobacco. This is gain on
the statistics of last year for then it was
stated that there was bot one who was
known to bo n dovotoo TO tho weed; that
ono, think, has since disappeared by rea.
son Of death, and hence our brethren can
now, without boasting, claim complete .ex-
emptiou from this perni9ous weed"

Good may come ou, of il, but, meanwhile,
horrible fate awaits the ;erial voysgers.
Mr.. La Mountain and Mr.. IIaddock who
went up from Watertown and have now
been unheard from for ten days, were
when last seen, sailing very high in the
air towards the Northern wilderness of
John Browns tract. If these gentlemen
landed in that wild waste there is no
telling when they will be heard from, if
ever.
From the great altitude Of the balloon.
when short voyage only was contem-
plated, the inference is, that by some
accident the valve would not work and
the aronauts could not let off gas and
hence must take their chances. A party
has left Watertown to search for the bal
oonists.

The following is brief account OF the
recent terrible battle at the mouth Of the
Peiho River. in China:
Admiral Hope arrived off the Peiho
on the 18th of Jnne, and found the en-
trance barred. An attempt was made on
the 25lh to force passage, when sud
denly batteries supported by force Of
90, 900 men were uumasked and opened a
destructive fire.
After severe action the squadron was
compelled to withdraw with The loss Of
the gun. boats Cormorant, Lee and Plover,
and four hundred and sixty yfour killed
and wounded. The French had Ii killed
out of 60. The Plenipotcntaries had re.
turned to Shanghai. Seven officers were
killed and seventeen wounded; ; among
the wounded was the Admiral. Toe
details say that the mouth of the river was
raked by the FIRE from the newly con-
structcd forts, amounting TO 80 or 100
At 80 p. NJ, the signal for action was
run up, the gun. boats Opossum and
Plovcr pushed in close 10 ;he first barrier.
The guns Of the forts then opened fire and
the action became general.
The fire of the Chinese. in weight and
precision was such as had never before
been experienced. Every shot told, while
those of the British did comparatively but
little damage. TIE troops were ordered
to land, and as the first boats touched the
shore the forts poured out perfect hur
ricane of shells, balls and rockets, which
mowc,.. down the men as they landed
The ships supported them as well as pos
sibIe, but of the 900 men who landed,
barely one hundred reached the first Of
the wide ditches, situated five hundred
yards from the river, and only so reached
;he third ditch. They would have made
an attempt TO scale the walls. but the
ladders were either broken by the shot or
stuck in the mud. With one of tho lad
ders that remained, ten of the men sprang
forward, three Of whom were killed, and
five severely injured.
Orders were at last given to retire, and
while in retreat the men were shot down
like birds, many Of the boats were
swamped by the balls. and not enough
remained to carry off the survivors. Sew

struck by the balls and swamped.

The Causa of the San Juan War

Tho following is u brief review of tho
trouble in the Northwest, which. in the
opinion of some, threatens war with
England. The island of San Juan, or Bolle
vuo is considered to be a disputed point be.
tween American and English territory. Ii
is between fifteen and eighteen miles long.
by seven at tho widest part. 1t is peopled
chiefly by few American squattors. an
English squire. ian employee OF tho Hudson
Bay Company.) and number OF unruly
hogs, some of whom bolong to the squire.
rhe quarrel is all about these hogs Said
hogs persisted in breaking through tho
hedges and digging up and eating the pota-
toes of Mr., Cutter, an American settler.
Ie gave them-that is. their masters-a
fair warning. and then shot one o. them.
which turued out to 10 n boar belonging to
the squire. Mr.. Cutter wns sorry, or offered
to pay; but the squire had sworn vcngence {;
he attempted to have Cutter arrested and
brought to Victoria, there to DO tried and
transported. Now there happened to be
somo United States troops, under General
Harvey refused to deliver him up. Ii was
then that tho question arose as to whose
jurisdiction the Island of San Juan belongs.
Warliko preparations now commenced on
both sides. The Assembly in Victoria have
setting forth that it would he a lasting dis.
grace to tho British name if tho Americans
were not at once driven from tho Island.
Governor Douglass does not know what to
do. Tho English commander of the naval
force in those waters is reported to have
said that "tho first broadside no would fire
at the American settlement on San Juan
would cost England moro than tho island is
worth" In tho meantime tho Americans
have received roiuforcoments from Stella
COON, etc. and commenced fortifcations.
Thore arc already liSc companies OF iufant'
ry and four OF artillery on the spot. The
island it thus practically annexed" Both
sidos are "sPoilng" for tho fight, bur, nc.

will first send to ST. James for instructions.
