SArURDAY's CBLBBRATIoN,-Our latest
news from Sherman's army will give a
new impulse TO the preparations for the
general celebration on Saturday, from
the Atlantic To the Pacific coast of our
recent effective and decisive victories
over the disjointed, rebelllous States and
their defeated, diminished aud democrat
lied armies. We have them now as the
allies had Napoleon after his disastrous
struggle at Leipsic, and the Paris OF the
rebellion is near its fail. The proposed
celebration is in honor OF our great VIC
tories and the glorious prospects before
us. Let us all of the loyal States, OF
all parties and creeds and colors, unite
in the rejoicings over our cheering pros
poets of an early and glorious peace on
the solid basis of the Union restored
Let us show our gallant soldiers and
sailors in the field that we appreciate
their splendid achievements in behalf o
peace and the Union.

Explosion WHILE MAKING OXYGEN
GAs.-In December last, gentleman in
Manchester England, was instantly
killed, while his wife and son were bad
ly wounded, by reason Of the explosion
of retort in his own house, with which
he was preparing oxygen gas, from q
mixture of chlorate Of potash and oxide
of manganese. The evidence before the
inquest tended to show that the manga
nese was adulterated with coal. and as
chlorate of potash is analogous to nj
trate of potash or salt petrei its admix-
ture with charcoal would furnish, very
nearly, two of the three constituents Of
gunpowder.
The Scientific American in referring
to the matter, says: ave have never
before heard of any serious injury re-
suIting from its preparations"
Some years ago gentleman in the
eastern part of the State had cast-iron
retort blow up like bomb while he was
making this gas, though fortunately
without damage to himself, and he first
suggested the use of clean sand in place
of manganese, an article at once cheap,
safe and well adapted for substitute
The making of this gas for use in the
oXy-hydrogen light is getting to be sc
common, the suggestion is worthy O
general dissemination.

How SLAYER WAS CoNDRMNBD.--Iu

history of this strange exhibition Is as
follows: -.f ~-es. .... .....s
"a Kings ship, On her way to the
West Indies, fell in with and chased a
suspicious looking craft, which had all
the appearance of SLAYER. During the
pursuit the chased threw something
overheard. She was subsequently, cap
tured, and taken to Port ROYAL to be
tried as SLAYER. In the absence of the
ships papers and other proofs, the SLAYER
was not only in a fair way to escape
condemnation, but her captain was an
ticipating the recovery of peouniary
damages against his captor for illegal
detention. While the subject was I'M
der discussion, vessel came into port
which had followed closely in the track
Of the chase above described. She had
caught shark and in its stomach was
found a tin box, which contained the
slaver's papers. Upon the strength of
this evidence the SLAYER was condemned.
