THINGS WORTH KNowINa.-Air is about
eight hundred and sixteen times lighter than
common water.
One hundred pounds of Dead Sea water
contains 46 pounds of salt.
The mean annual depth of rain that falls
at the equator is SO inches.
The greatest artificial cold ever produced
is 81 degrees Fahrenheit.
During the conversion of ice into water, 140
degrees of heat are absorbed.
Water when converted into steam increases
in bulk $4,000 times.
The explosive force of close confined gum
powder is six and half tons to the square
inch.
Heat rarifies air to such an extent that 1t
can be made to occupy fifty Ave hundred times
the space it did before.
The violence o. the expansion of water
when freezing is sufficient to cleave globe
of copper of such thickness as to require q
force 2S, 900 pounds to produce like effect.

AS has already been stated, certain
slavery and semi-secession citizens ol
New Orleans, acting under an organization
called the "Louisiana State Executive Com.
mittee," proposed to hold an election on the
oath instant, in some portion of that State, to
choose members of Congress, State officers
and representatives to Legislature pledged
to support the old order of things, and to re
establish negro slavery in all its ancient vigor
On sober second thought, the project has been
abandoned, and the election postponed indefi-
nitely.

The Omcial Canvass.

The Board of State Canvassers have so far
completed their labors as to enable US to
publish entire the Soldiers vote for Governor
and Lieutenant Governor. Careful revision
of the table has revealed several errors which
reduce the majorities somewhat from the fig.
ures given by US three or four days since
They are however, still large enough 10 give
Messrs. Stone and Eastman aggregate majori-
ties Of something more than Thirty Thousand |!
The canvass also shows that the Soldiers
vote is large enough to elect the Union candi-
dates for >enators and Representatives in Ap.
panoose. Davis, Wayne, and Decatur counties,
where the Copparhead candidates for those
Offices had secured majorities on the home
vote. This will reduce the number Of Cop.
,perhead Senators in the next General Assem-
bly to four and the Representatives to fve-
or. in other words, give the Republicans a
majority on joint ballot Of One Hundred and
Twenty Nine!
We regret our inability to publish the re-
suit Of the official canvass of the home vote
for Judge. this being the only officer on the
State ticket whose vote can be counted until
the Legislature shall meet, but several coun-
ties, and among them Wayne and Desmoines,
have failed to send their returns, and the
State Canvassers are unwilling to proceed
without them.-Desmoines Register, Path.
By the table which appears in the Register,
Stones majority on the soldiers vote is 1887
and Eastman's, ,210.

Summary of telegraph News.

A great and successful battle has been
fought by Grants army at Chattanooga. All
the particulars thus far received are given
under the teleyraphic head.
A rebel force under Lcngstreet is reported
to be closely investing Burnside's comman
at Knoxville, East Tennessee. but our position
is represented as secure The movement at
Chattanooga will undoubtedly compel Long
street to beat hasty retreat
The President is reported to have remark
ed within day or two. that the next two
weeks will be the most momentous period Of
the rebellion. Whether the President actu-
ally said so, or not, the signs indicate that
such will be the fact.
Delaware elected Union member of Con.
gress on the leh.
The advance Of the army of the Potomac
hos been intersered with by heavy rains.

PRESIDENT,
Hon. John F. Dillon, Davenport.

Inc 1oilOwlng RESOLUTIONS on the war were
adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t is right ard proper that this
convention should express its views on the
great struggle that is now convulsing our be-
loved country and filling every portion there
of with devastation and woe, therefore
Resolved, That on this subject we have but
one sentiment to utter-with all the earnest
ness and sincerity of our hearts we would say
to the President. strike hard, strike often,
strike continuously, until the last vestige Of
this wicked rebellion be and forever crushed
out.
ResoIoed, That for this purpose and to this
end we pledge to him and to the country, our
continued and earnest efforts whatever we
can do to sustain our Government in this its
hour of deep distress and anguish we will do
with the utmost power of our heads, hearts
and hands.
Mr.. Kynett then announced to the Conven.
ton that as soon as this new commission
should become organized and in working Or
der, he would take great pleasure in turning
over to them all the effects and business Of
the commission lately represented by him.
After some other business of minor impor-
lance, the Convention adjourned sine die.

WHAT THE REBEL PIRATHs HAVE DoNY.-
Up to October 1st the rebel pirates had cap.
tured no less than 178 vessels, the tonnage Of
which amounted to s9,s99 tons, and whose
value WAS estimated at thirty millions Of DOL
lars. At least four-fifths Of this devastation
was committed by vessels fitted out in Eng
lish ports, and manned by English sailors
Should our Government demand indemnity,
as is not unlikely, John Bull will have snug
little bill Of costs to pay. He will learn by
and By, if he has not learned already, that
bsfriending rebels is work that don't pay.
