LAMP CHrMNEYs The greatest expense
and trouble connected with burning coal with
petroleum oil arises from the frequent break
ing of lamp chimneys These are made of
clear white glass, and are brittle to a proverb
sThey could be made Of stronger and cheaper
glass, such as that used for making bottles.
A patent las lately been taken out by Mr..
Bailey o. Woiverhampton, England for max
ing such chmneys, and also lamp globes of
bottle glass; moderately colored, to modify the
intense glare of the flame. Oil merchants and
refiners of'coal oil should encourage such an
Improvement, as more coal oil would be pur-
chased were it not for the trouble experienced
with the common miserable chimueys fur
nished for oil lamps.

The CORRESPONDENTS the New York Trib-
une, at Port Royal n lates the following Incl
dent: at is rathe singular circumstance
that the opening Of tlis harbor should be sig
nalized by an effort It kidnapping and slave
trading. A ferry bolt, built at New York tor
Havana, named Nui$ra Sonora de Regia, lett
about the same time with the feet, was eX-
posed to the gale and ran into Charleston 1t
is said an effort to size her by the rebels to
turn into a gunboit vas only defeated by the
energetic efforts otthe Spanish consul, and
that atterward $50, ,0b0 was offered and refused
for her. After the victory she came into haf-
Dor and has been here ever since, Tor what pur-
pose no Que seemed TO know OHly few
days since one OF boats was diSCOy cred ON
shore endeayorng TO kidnap some OF the ne
groes remaining on one Of tie plantations, and
d subsequpnt examination of the steamer her
self disclosed the fact that she had already on
board considerable number slowed away In
the hold, and destined for Cuba and market.

zation OF the blacks has been put a stop to.
The same correspondent tells the following
story Of horrible cruelty which occurred
during the panic and flight of the white
population of Beaufort: =" a slave named
Priscilla formerly owned by Mr. Graham of
Grabamvlle now servant cf Capt Charles
Z. Fuller, oug of the brigade quartermasters,
relates that before she lett the plantation the
slaves were ordered into a barn to she'll corn

This order OF President Lincoln's, though
only partial in ils terms, is calculated
10 be ewevping in its results, as it is
likely 10 prevent te Interference of the To-
cal police with all slaves escaping within the
Iires of ou" army. 1t is most desirable re-
suit, and probably anticipates only by few

The washington Arsenal.
From the National Intelligencer.

Some months ago, after a yisi. to the arsen-
al in this city, we took occasion briefly to re-
mark ON the activity with which, under the
efficient management Of its present faithful
commandant, Col. George d. Ramsay, its re-
sources had been placed at the disposition of
the government during the war now waging.
Its operations, when we take into view the
limited means with which the comparative ne
geCt Of congress has endowed it, have been
Oh a scale which sufficiently demonstrates its
great value 10 the government, and at the
same time 10 place in stronger light the Wig
orous administration Of its commandant, who,
with such restricted resources, has furnished
SO large quota to The arming and equippiug
OF our troops.
So little has of late wears been done for the
arsenal thati amoOg the most crcumscribed
IN the country. Having no representative in
congress, no one seems 10 have cared for it.
But, as its utility has OF late been fully evi-
deuced, We can but hope that the attention Of
cOngress will be called to the absolute necessl-
ty OF building it up ON proper scale OF useful.
ness Last year, that is for the year ending
June 3Oth, the present superintendent asked,
we believe, for the modest sum, for permanent
improvements, OF some S60,0 600 which sum was
cut down by Mr.. Secretary Floyd to $500 If
that fmctionary then had his reasons ior not
senal, surely none such exist at the present
day under this administration.
ln evidence OF the efficiency with which it
has contributed 10 the supply Of our army, we
may cite the following schedule Of issues Of
ordnance and ordnance storps for the space of
four months, included between the 1st OF Ju-
! ly last and the 3lst of October. Ut will, of
course, be understood that all of these stores
have not been manufactured at the Arsenal y
l52347 small arms l4,453 sabres; 3, $40
swords $4,000 sets of accoutrements fol foot
soldiers; l6,465 sets of accoutrt meuts for
mounted soldiers; 1855 sets OF horse equip
ments; 554 sets OF artillery harness.
Ammunition is, $50. 900 rounds for foot sol.
ders; l,l24 800 rounds for mounted soldiers /;
! 6l,3O6 rounds tor field batteries; l6942
rounds for garrison and sea coast.

A GiGANTIC SCHEME.-We understand that
parties are now in Washington, representing
large European and American interests, urging
upon government the necessity of constructing
a ship canal between Lake Erie and Lake
Michigan. They look to the state ot New
York to widen and deepen its great canal and
to the state of Illinois to enlarge its canal, so
that vessels may be iadened, according to
their theory, nine months Of the year on the
Mississippi, and discharged on the Hudson.
1t is asserted that by the time the canal could
be completed, should the government enter at
once upon the project, the productions of the
west would swell vastly beyond their present
dimensions, and give to the country great
additional resources for an exchange of pro-
ducts for the staples and manufactures of
Europe
The canal between the two points would he
about 100 miles long; the Illinois canal is 100
miles the connection with the Missis ippi
river would be at Peru, the terminus Of tie H.
Iinois canal, by way of the Illinois river, which
is very deep and broad nearly its whole
length.
This new outlet is called for partly by the
conviction that the southern rebellion has de-
strOved the commerce of the low er Mississippi
and New Orleans beyond hope of redemp-
lion, and partly to prevent monopoly Of
freight which the western road seems to i'm
pose.

The most humane measure initiated during
the first week of the new congress, was that
of Senator Wilson, providing for the release OF
some sixty or more persons unlawtully CON
fined in the Jail of the distrct-a place of con-
finement and degradation of which some dis
tinguished visitors from France recently said
"they had never seen anywhere such pris-
on, with one exception, and that was in Aus
tria." The act is Of the more importance, as
it is the first step toward the reform of the
department of justice in the District Of Co.
lulnbia, which has long been disgrace to the
nation, and toward the ultimate renovation Of
the capitol from the curse it has so long toler-
ated. 1t appears that police constables and
justices of the peace have made it a part OF
their infamous trade to waylay colored per
sons, not known to belong to residents
of the District, hurry them of to Jail with
the expectation, that, if they were not
claimed as slaves, their bodies would at least
bring the amount of their fees at public auc-
tion. Of the victims OF their cupidity some
were free persons from the north who had ac.
companied our regiments in their march, 9th
ers were deserters from the rebel service into
which they had been impressed by dsloyal
masters, and still others had been committed
by their rebel masters "for safe keeping till
the war is over!' Nearly sll of them we're
scantily covered with rags, and wasted with
hunger, presenting a picture OF degradation
and inhumanity unworthy of the Cannibal
Islands The resolution provided that imme-
diately upon its passage the marshal OF the dis
trict should discharge all such persons arrest
ed as fugtives from service or labor, and
furnish them with the means of support
till they are otherwise provided for On the
same day that the subject was broached in the
senate, the presidents instructions 20 Gen.
Mcclellan on a kindred matter were issued,
which will tor the present check the degrading
occupation of these petty magistrates of the
district. The president learning that slaves
who have been employed in hostile service
against the government and have escaped
beyond the line of the enemy's forces. are
liable to arrest in the district as fugtives. pro-
claims that all such persons-persons not
slaves-are under the military protection OF
the United States and that their arrest should
