Tne air is made up of mixture Of two
gases, oxygen and nitrogen, and it always
contains considerable Wstery vspor and
earbonio acid. In bis new work on chem
istry, Professor Youmans states that if sll
the air we're we're reduced TO its average
density at the earth's surface, it would
extend about five miles high, and that if
the above constituents were arranged in
in layers one over the other, we should
have first, st the bottom, bed Of water all
over the esrth's surface inches deep (;
nexta layer of csrbonic scid Is feet deep ;
next above, layer of oxygen gas about 1
mile deep; and above this layer Of nitro
gen gas about 4 miles deep. This will
help the memory. Sea water contains
about ounces Of salt in every gallon.
Estimating the ocean to average two miles
in depth, the salt, if separated in q solid
bed, would line the bottom Of the entire
ocean to 8 depth of 140 feet.

our union soIdter Hartyrs.


We publish this morning an account of
the exchange of Union prisoners at Saw
vannab, together with description of their
sad condition. The report is full of "ter-
rible interest" The barbarous cruelties Of
the rebels toward these men are fully con-
hrmed. The testimony furnished is not
simply from the horrid squslor and wretch
edness exhibited by the men after their
surrender, but from other independent and
indisputable sources. The cruel vindio-
tiveness of the rebel authorities is clearly
shown.
Another fact established by the horrid
revelations that have been brought to light
by the recent exchange is that the rebel
authorities, with considerable success have
made the Union soldiers believe that they
have been cruelty abandoned by their
Government. By operating upon them in
this way, large numbers have been in
duced to enlist in the rebel service in order
to escape the horrors Of confinement In
those hells which the rebels call prisons.
These facts appeal powerfully to the Gov
ernment, and demand that justice be done
10 the 80, 900 Union men still languishin
in the South. The return Of those, al
ready exchanged, to their homes, will
create the deepest indignation among the
people, and a just sense of the bsrbarous
character Of the enemy with whom we are
fighting.

Prof. Benjamin Silliman, so long identi-
fed with science in this country, died on
Thursday the s4th, aged eighty,hve. Born
in l7T9 and having graduated at Yale in
1886, he was admitted to the New Haven
Bar in 1902. In the same year he was
induced by President Dwight to assume
the chair of Chemistry in the College.
He spent two years in st -dy in Philadel-
phis and went to Europe in 1906 to prose-
cute his studies and obtain spparatus.-
After an absence of fourteen months he
returned. In 1910 he published his
Journal of Travels" most charming
book In 1918 he founded the American
journal of Science and art, which has
since maintained a high reputation both
in this country and in Europe. A cotem-
porary remarks Of him:
aFew men, if any, have done so much
to popularize theresults of modern science
as Professor SIEman. He was the pioneer,
in this country, of department of study
which has since been cultivated with bril-
liant success; his services in the cause Of
education and learning were of the mo-
menti and by his example and teachings
he was eminently useful in saving the
country from the reprosch of Hunlettered
bsrbarism." The Professor retained the
freshness and vivacity of his youth to the
latest period of his life In connection
with his extensive scientific sttsinments
his manners had rare charm, his personal
character was without stain or suspicion
and with the magnetic sympathy of his
nature, he never failed to win the love oi
young and old, of persons famous in the
scientific world, and the familiar compan-
ions of his daily life"

The spirit Of fhe Rebel Press ON Sher-
mans 6auInaisn.


A careful reading of the news from
Sherman, received by the way of Rich
mond, shows that an immense excitement
is pervading the Ststes Of GeOrgis and
South Carolina. The mysterious charsc-
ter of his movements, the number of his
troops, and the extent of the country he
is desolating, have created the most in
tense alarms, and the widest apprehen-
sions smong the people. Tie rebel press
evinces the same. We haYe before US the
editorial comments of Richmond, Charles
ton, Savannah, Augusta and Macon pa
pers, and they all, while attempting to al
lay public excitement by disparsging the
Importance of the movement, or by pre-
dieting Shernsn's utter snnihilation,
prove that they are immensely agitated
and alarmed. They abound in appeals to
the people to rise en- rnasss and impede his
progress by burning everything in his
pathway which may be of service to his
army, all of which neither would be or
could be done. The Augusta Constitution
alist says South Carolina and Florida can
both lend their reserves to Georgia, and
that thus they viii be met.
The Richmond Enquirer says "that
combinations are in progress, however, to
foil the purposes of the enemy, there can
be no doubt; and We may expect to hear
in few days some definite account of
them. A decisive move cannot long be
delayed"
The Dispatch Is certain that he cannot
support his army of the country, and that
henes he must be sorely pressed. The
Savannah Nes0s says in similar hopeful
strain: "If the people of Georgia will
only cooperate with the army, it will be
met and successfully resisted. We have
only 10 be true to ourselves to save the
State and utterly destroy the invaders. If
we fail from panic, lukewarmness or other
cause, we shall prove ourselves unfit to be
free and worthy of the abolition yoke that
awaits us"
The random talk which might naturally
be looked for in order to prevent rsving
panic sbounds in the rebel press, but they
very poorly conceal the fact that they
have serious misgivings about the fate of
Augusta, Charleston and Savannah. They
see that Hood is far of in the west, unable
to render any assistance and that he has
been completely out-generaled. They
acknowledge that in addition to the posi-
Bile fall of the above mentioned cities
Richmond viii be cut from communication
with the Trans-Mississippi region and with
Hoods army, and that Hood will be cut
of from his base Of operations and base Ol
supplies.
So far as the direction of Shermsn'i
movements can be gathered from the
Southern news, it is evident that Savannah
is his destination, but that in taking it he
may also bring Charleston into subsection
If we can infer. correctly from what We
already know, he is making splendid pro
gress, moving forward with his invinciblC
legions at the rate of fifteen miles day
and destroying everything on his route
that may be of use to the enemy.

EarIy withdrawn from the valley

The Cavalry reconnaissance up the
Shenandoah has established the important
fact that all of Esrly's infantry has been
Withdrawn from the Valley. This signi-
fes either that Early is assured of his
inability to accomplish anything import
ant against Sheridan and has therefore
abandoned the winter campaign in that
quarter, or that he is withdrawn toward
Richmond, to enable Lee to detach troops
to meet shermanduring the latter part Of
his march to Savannah. The latter Is the
more probable view. From the various
intimations from the rebel press, it cannot
be doubted that some attempt to head Of
or destroy Sherman will necessarily be
made. If This has been done to any ex-
tent by Lee it will be the signal for further
operations by Sheridan.

The EGOrt to set Eew York on Fire

The EGort to SET Rev York on Fire.
The attempt MADE on Friday last to set
New York city on fire, sesms to have been
planned and executed by number per
sons, either bent on plunder or executing
the scheme proposed some time since by
the Richmond papers to lay in ashes some
of the cities of the North. The plan
seems to have been for the incendiary to
pile together in some of the upper rooms
of the various hotels, clothes and other
combustible materials, and, having soaked
them with turpentine or sprnkled them
with phosphorus, to set them on fire, lock
ing the door and disappearing. Fire was
first discovered or the third floor of the
st. James Hotel Fire wss subsequently
discoTed at Bsrnum's Museum, the ST.
Nicholas, the Lafarge House, the Metro
politan, Lovejoy's the Belmont Hotel and
the Tammsny Hotel The loss at the st.
Nicholas, from the burning of two rooms,
was $500. The damage at the Metropoli-
tan will be more than $500. Various but
less losses were sustained at other places.
In every esse, on examination, it was dis
covered that the same general plan had
been adopted. Had it not been fer the
timely discovery Of the FIRE, and efficiency
Of the Police and fremen, New York
might hsve suffered immense losses in
property and lives. The discovery of these
attempts has put the military of New
York on the guard and General Dix has
issued orders requesting all Southerners in
the city to be registered.
There is no reason why this same plan
might not be adopted in other cities, unless
the greatest precautions are taken. 1t is
well known that there are desperate men,
emissaries of JEFF Davis in all our northern
cities, who are prepared to undertake sny
nefarious enterprise by way of retribution
for the suherings the rebels have brought
upon their own heads, in the attempt to
break up the Government. There is no
telling where next an attempt may be
made. It well, therefore, that thepolice
and military authorities keep strict watch
on all suspicious persons who may enter
our city. It is well known that for some
time past there have been an unusual num-
Der of suspicious characters /" loafngn
about the city, and not only about this
city, but about al the leading cities in the
North. In Detroit Cincinnati end Chicago
large number Of arrests have been made.
Without being unduly excited, or indulg-
ing in a hippant poh-pOh-ing at what
seems to be very probable contingencies,
It viii be well for all our people to be on
the alert, ready for any emergency. But
for The early discovery of the conspiracy
in New York, no one can tell what might
have followed. But for being forewsrned
here We may not be foresrmed for the
dsnger.

A Hone that the Rain may Obstruct
GENERAL Sherman's Narcs-


A Hope that the Rain may ObstFuet
General Sherman's Marcu-
The Richmond Sentinel, of the 22d inst,
says:
If the rains which have been descending
so copiously here for several days extend
to Georgia, Sherman will have heavy trs-
Yelling. The popular tradition in the
country through which his route has been
projected, is that In such seasons the bot
toms of the roads fall out. If Sherman
shall find himself thus bemired, it must
operate greatly to his disadvantage and to
our benefit. It will retard his movements
and make foraging extremely difficult
Oar concentration of troops to operate
against him being by railroad, will not ex-
perience the like interruption. We trust
that the blackjack will hold him till our
generals gather all around him for his de
struction
