SECOND APPEARANCE OF THE PoMRRoY
PARTY.-A new Fremont paper has been
started in Washington, called the New
Era. Burleigh, the New York CORES
pondent of the Boston Journal, tells of a
new radical organization, which has
raised fund Of 100000 and will COM
mence Fremont paper in New York I'M
der the significant title of i" The Path
finder" The new organization will
stand aloof from the republicans and
democrats alike and embraces in it's &C
tive membership not only the leading
German politicians, but war democrats
and radical abolitionists. One of the
most active in the new movement is a
Douglas democrat, who processes to
have fifty thousand men of that party
with him. The chiefs of the party do
not insist upon Gen. Fremont for the
presidency, but say they are willing to
accept any other man standing on the
radical platform, except Abraham Lin
coin. This new party we suspect, is en-
gineered by Senator Pomeroy, of Kan
sas, who since the exposure and defeat OF
his secret circular strategy, has been
busy in all sorts of cunning plots and
combinations, by which he expects to
throw the old parties into confusion,
and then evolve from the chaos a new
party that shall find an easy road to
power. A big plot, no doubt, but rather
small engineering to make much of it,

WATER AS FuRL,--A short time ago
we copied from the Troy Times an ac-
count of an invention made by q eiti-
izen of Troy, Mr.. w, f, Hagan, whereby
the component parts Of water We're
made available for combustion. Our
citizens have now an opportunity to ex-
anime a stove wherein this invention Is
turned TO account, In Cwmton 4 Nichols
Block, in the room In the rear OF Dewey
q Joyces Law Office, We have eX-
amined the stove, and can testify as 10
the superior and agreeable quality OF
the heat generated by it, and the testi-
monials are numerous from those who
have tried the invention, that it saves
from Gttyto serenity. fve per cent. ofthe fuel
consumed by an ordinary stove,-a very
important consideration in these times,
The mechanism of the stove is very
simple, and shows no liability to get out
of repair The operation OF the inven-
ton is thus described -
The water is contained in q boiler
on the top of the stove, from which it is
conveyed in pipes on the inner surface
of the stove to distributor, from which
it is emitted in the form of superheated
steam at the bottom Of the fire, where it
is decomposed by the contact into hy-
drogen and carbonic acid gas, which in
stantly combine afresh, producing car
bonic oxyd, which undergoes still fur
Their combination on being presented to
the air, with large development of cal
oric or heat at each successive stage or
combination" A.
The invention has already been APP
piled to parlor and cooking stoves, fur
naces, and boilers, with, it is said, the
most satisfactory results in each case
A stock company has been formed
with large capital, to own and control
the matter. The books were opened for
subscription only about month ago
and the stock is already nearly all taken,
proof Of the public confidence in the
invention. Messrs. Hicks, Wolfe & Co.,
of Troy, have secured license for that
city, for the manufacture of stoves and
heaters, and it is their agent who now
has stove on exhibition in this vii
lage.
This afternoon, from one o'clock until
five, the ladies are specially invited
by the agent to call at the room above
named, and examine the stove. On Fri
day, from 8 to IL o'clock, A. NJ, to 5
and 7 to 9, P. NJ, the public generally are
requested to give the agent a call.
The AGENTS. also authorized to receive
q limited amount of subscriptions to the
stock Of the company. The subscription
books will be closed on the Goth of this
month, as the capital will by that time
all be taken, and the only opportunity to
subscribe is now presented to those
wishing to make what promises to be
we'll paying investment. Call, at least,
and see the stove.

RRvRRpY JOHNSON ON THE MARYLAND
ELECTION. = The Baltimore American,
speaking of the election Of members TO
the Maryland Constitutional Conven-
ton, says that every delegate elected ON
the Union ticket-with the exception, 1t
is said, of Baltimore County where the
delegates are unpledged--is an mcondi-
tional Emancipationist, and opposed to
compensation by the State. The Con-
vention will probably stand 81 Union to
35 Opposition. In note to the editors,
not intended for publication, Hon Rev.
erdy johnson says;
Delighted to hear the result of yes
terday's election. A new era is now
dawning on our State. Slavery ended,
and it will be as Washington said it
would be in that event "the garden
spot" of the United States. He said so
in letter to st. John Sinclair, in '96.
If it is done also in the whole country
AS l think it will be-great as our
prosperity has been in the past, and
high as has been our name among the ma
tons of the world, both will be immeas-
urably almost enhanced. God grant
that it may be so. Yours truly,
REvERDY JOHNSON .

PARALLELs.-Copperhead journals are
asking why we don't get impatient of
Grants delay as we did of McClellan's.
and urge the former to action as we
vainly did to the latter.
This is why: ~
Mcclellan took command in July,
1861. By the first of October, his army
was in condition to move. He did not
move till April, six months afterwards.
Gen. Grant has been in command of the
Army of the Potomac less than six
weeks. If he does not stir before six
months are over, we promise to try and
make him.. Mcclellan wasted the two
months of October and November. II
Grant should show signs of wasting
May and June, it will be time then to
complain.
Or, to come little further down -
When General Grant shall establish
himself on the Upper Potomac with
an army Of 904, 609 men, and shall insult
that vast force with proposal to with
hold it from contact with the enemy, and
to open a school for its instruction
AS Mcclellan did in the Autumn of
1862-we shall not hesitate to declare
him unfit to command, ~and to ask for
his removal. t
Will you have any more reasons -

A NOBLE WoMAN.-The Albany States
man says Nathaniel Smith. charged
with being deserter from the 18th reg
iment, was arrested in Castleton, Vt,
and brought to this city he wes placed
in the hands Of the Veteran Guards un-
til hearing could be had. His mother,
on hearing that he had deserted from
the flag, burst into tears and said -
have sacrificed four sons to my coun.
try / have buried my husband and
children but | never knew what
trouble and grief were before. To have
one brought back deserter is more than
can stand. do not blame the officers
for doing their duty, but do you for
deserving. Go, my son You are bone
of my bone and flesh Of my flesh 1
would rather have seen you brought
home a corpse than to find you alive
branded as deserter. But 60 my son !;
do your duty as man and soldier,
remembering that your mothers pray
ers are with you, and do not come home
again until you come as man who has
nothing to fear"
When this mother dies, the above
should be engraved upon her tomb
stone. 1t would be the most touching
epitaph in the world. We know of no
speech in Roman history more worthy
of preservation.

VALUABLE C0ETRIBUTI0NS.-We learn
from the Burlington Free Press that
Hon. George P. Marsh, Of Burlington
our Minister to Italy, has sent a collec-
ton of valuable autographs to the New
York Sam sary Fair, of which he says
in letter to Mrs. John Sherwood,
through whom the gift came
This collection contains many letters
Of great historical and private interest,
and has been formed at very consider
able pecuniary cost.
Some Of them, that of Garibaldi, for
instance-I part with it not without
sOrrow-Ought to be handsomely framed
and glazed, and / shall be grievously
disappointed if they do not bring in a
very handsome sum. As to Garibaldi,
Manzoni and Ricasoli, to Mrs. Marsh,
they ought to be sold separately.
The more / think of it, the more l
grieve to part with Garibaldi's. If /
had hundred dollars I would send it
to buy it back with. He is the hero and
saint Of our age. Ten golden eagles
should be the lowest bid for this golden
letter. Manzoni's from Avezzanal would
bring almost as much in England, and
Ricasoi's is treasure. For their splen-
did gifts must ask special acknowl-
edgment from the commission to DIR.
Achille Migliavacca and Countess Gigli-
ucci."
Among the great men whose auto
graphs are in possession of the Metro
politan Fair are Louis XIV, Louis XVI,
Louis XVIII, George ILL.,, Robespierre,
Carnot, Biron, several autographs of
Bonaparte at different times of his life,
Lucien Bonaparte, Eugene Beauharnais,
