the present. But the third dose-we know

A NICE LITTLE HAUL.-Some time since,
it will be reeullected, large amount of
provisions and whisky was taken BY our
fotilla on the Potomac (on board the Buena
Fista), on the Maryland side Of the river.
1t was. of course, sent to Washington. but
owing to some explanation of the assumed
owners. it was released, with the under
standing that all the property would be
purchased by the Government. In accor-
dance with this arrangement, the War
Department bought it, the whisky costing
tn, Government s400. 80 far. so well !"
A few days since it was discovered that
the said whisky barrels contained, instead
of 1.-The ardent. lots of the most approved
pistols amounting to the value of some
$4,000! A good speculation for Uncle Sam.

Materials in their Invisible State.

If a piece of silver be put into nitric ac-
/ id, clear and colorless liquid, it IS rapid
| ly dissolved, aud vanishes from the sight
he solution Of silver may be mixed with
water, and to appearance no effect what
ever IS produced thus, in a pail of water
we dissolve and render invisible more than
9lO worth Of silver, not particle of
which can be seen. Not only silver, lead
and iron, but every other metal can be
Gated IN the same way, with similar re-
su IS. When charcoal is burned when
candles are burned, when paper is burned,
these substances all disappear, and become
Invisible In fact, every material which
Is visible, can, by certain treatment, be
| rendered invisible. Matter which in one
condition is perfectly opaque, and will not
admit the least ray Of light to pass thro'
1t, viii in another form become quite trans
parent. The cause of this wonderful ef-
feet Of the condition of matter is utterly
inezpfcable. Philosophers do not even
breach theories upon the subject, much
less do they endeavor to explain it. The
substances dissolved in water or burned in
air are mot however destroyed or lost;
by certain well known means they can bo
recovered, and again be rendered visible
some in exactly the same state as they
were before their invisibility others. tho
not IN the same state, can be shown in
their elementary condition; and thus it
can be proved, that matter having once
existed, never ceases to exist, although it
can change It's condition. like the caterpil-
lar, which becomes chrysalis and then
gorgeous butterfly. If pailfull of the Sc
luton OF silver be cast into the stream It
is apparently lost by its dispersion in the
water; but it nevertheless continues to ex-

PLANTATION Of this is, that the leaves of
plants have the power Of Withdrawing the
invi. ible charcoal from the atmosphere, and
restoring it to its visible state IN some
shape or other. The lungs of animals and
a smokeless furnace change matter from
its visible to its invisible state. The gills
of fishes and the leaves of plants reverse
this operation. rendering Invisible matter

The following lines, written eighteen yea,

O! for God and duty stand,
Heart to hand and hand to hand
Round the old graves Of the land
Whose shrinks or falters now,
Whose to the yoke would bow,
Brand the craven on his brow
Freedoms soil las only place
For a free and fearless race;
None for traitors false and base.
Perish party perish clanl
Strike together while you can,
Like the arm of one strong man
With one heart and with one mouth
Let the North unto the South
Speak the word betting both:
What though Issaehar be strong,
Ye may load his back with wrong
Over much and over long.
Patience with her cup o'errun,
With her weary thread outspun,
Mu. murs that her work is done.
Boldly, or with treacherous art,
Strike our blood wrought chain apart
Break the Unions mighty heart!
Work the ruin, if ye will
Pluck upon your heads an i'll
Which shall grow and deepen still
With'ycur bondman's right arm bare,
With his heart of black despair,
Stand alone, if stand ye dare!
Onward with your fell design
Dig the guilt and draw the line
Fire beneath your feet the mine
Deeply when the wide abyss
Iawns between your land and this,
Shall ye feel your helplessness
