HABEAs CoRPUs-Fort Lafayette was
last week emptied of its prisoners OF
war and State, with four exceptions, the
former being sent to Fort Delaware, the
latter toForts Warren, in Boston harbor.
Among the prisoners of State was gen.
tleman, who, for fourteen months. has
been confined at the West and at Fort
Lafayette To many he is well known
as an accomplished writer on political
and medical subjects, but to the mass
of the people of the South and South
west he is best remembered as George
w. Lamb Buckley, NJ. D., and President
of the Knights of the Golden Circle. A
habeas corpus has been issued in his
case, and he is probably now at sSrge.

sci nv constituents to shed drop OF

step in the humiliation and degradation
of the country is taken, and we shall be
left fit instruments for any despotism

monarchs to send their troublesome or

d stsANEw gunpowder is said to have been
discovered in Germany, which has three
times the explosive force, and costs only
half rs much as the powder now in use.
The principal materials are rosin and
chlorate Of potash. It leaves no resi-
dunn when exploded and (the inventor
claims) can I've prepared with greater
safety thau the ordinary nitrous COM
pounds. This is, perhaps, the fiftieth
time that the utilization of chlorate of
potash as an ingredient of gunpowder
has been announced. BIT, practically,
every pateut for its use has turned out
failure, ton account Of the mysterious
tendency vi the chlorate to explode
without apparent, proyocation. The
French Government has, at different
times, spent large Sums of money in eft
forts to substitute the chlorate for the
nitrate of potash (saltpetre,) but without
