A New MATERIAL IN WARFARE
Chloride Of Nitrogen will. it is aaid, soon
be utilized as an implement of war.
It's employment would seem likely to put
an end to all war. Mr. Isham Baggs, an
English chemist, in announcing his dis
covery, proposes to carry up bis com
position in balloons, and drop it from the
air in the midst Of armies and fortresses.
=" The very mention Of this compound"
he goes on to say, "as proposed ele>
ment in modern warfare, may possibly
provoke smile among chemists who
know that the most accomplished Of their
number would scarcely dare to expert
ment with II in quantities larger than a
grain of mustard seed, and even then
only at respectful distance. and under
guard at the moment of its defamation
And yet not one of those chemists vii
be bold enough to deny that with two OIL
three chemically clean carboys of thi
terrible compound present in city Of
fortress, however strong, the slightes
cutting of phosphorus or single droI
Of olive oil coming in contact with il
would in one instant decide the fate q
the place and its i n h b itants." Nj
Baggs then proceeds to affirm that b
has discovered method Of overcomin
the contingent difficulties, and that he

The UNION MARTYRS OF EAST TEN.
NEssEE.-But we stop a moment to look
at one Of the most painful scenes of the
war. On the floor of large old mill,
open to the blasts on all sides, and lily
covered at the top, are seated hardly less
than score Of women and children, hud-
ding closely together to avoid the chilly
air. They are refugees" a name which
has deeper significance in East Ten
nessee than in any other country in the
world. They are of all ages, from the
lettering graudparent down to the little
ones who so quickly bring to mind our
own iiresides. Their condition is most
wretcbed; with scarce clothing enough
to cover their limbs, with only the damp
floor to lie upon, and small bundle OF
scaniy bedding, dependent upon the
bounty Of the soldiers, and with the
memory Of home in blackened ruins TO
haun, their dreams, they are miserable
indeed. They gaze at us as we pass,
with piiiful, mercy-seeking. expression
in their pallid faces. "Did you see them?"
goes from lip to lip, aud a fervent prayer
Of "God have mercy upon them" goes up
from every beart.-Letter from Chatta-

In introducing this to the public, the subscri-
Der has the pleasure of saying, that said bed
bottoms have been exhibited at a large number
of State and County Fairs, and has taken the
FIRST PREMIUM without exception. And
wherever they have been introduced they have
been pronounced the most desirable and eco
nomical of any thing of the kind ever offered
to the public.
These Bed Bottoms are readily applied to any
common Bedstead, and entirely obviates the
trouble of cording and bed ropes, and are much
easier and more agreeable to repose upon than
any other now in use.
The subscriber would respectfully announce
to the public that he has the exclusive right of
the State of Vermont, for the manufacture and
sale of the Elliptic Spring Bed Bottom, and is
prepared to sell Town, County or State Rights
for the same.
