heating.A e. D. KNesLEY,
Supt, of Public Schools Of Columbus.
q CIRcLEvrLLE, Feb. 18th, 1868
The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building Of this city in November last and
thus far It has given entire satisfaction, 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars: 1t has, compara-
tivoly, a greater heating surface; produces
a larger volume Of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is su-
perior;' the admission of cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated. dsis-,
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air, as is;done, to some extent by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure TO each room an
abundant supply Of pure, fresh air, warmed
to pleasant temperature, as well as to pror
tect the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effectsa of the fire, 1t is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
roohaEe should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This wilIH Insure the
influx oflstlch alarge and rapid current o.
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
hues sfrombeingoverheated and thus secure
the dursbility Of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in q healthfll condition. It Ii
;.
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board Of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school edifice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after . careful examina-
tion of large number OF furnaces and
other modes of warming school houses and
Other public edlfices not only in western,
but also in Eastern cities, Mr.. Martins was
elieved to be decidedly the best.

Will the Southern People Submit.

Jefferson Davis, the so-called Presid-
ent Of Southern Confederacy, is charg-
ed by paper printed in the rebel capi-
tol, with being the author of the scheme
for French Protectorate. The deluded
and nearly ruined South has made ma
ny sacrifices to crafty the mad ambition
of Davis and few other reckless leaders,
many of whom, including the brilliant
and unprincipled Yancy, have gone to
their last account. Thousands of young
men have been offered up. Hundreds of
farms have been given up to ruin
Towns and cities have surrendered
Isolation from all the luxuries and most
of the comforts of life has been submit
ted to. A rigorous blockade has been
patiently endured, and above all, the
terrible stigma of treason has been worn
in the hope that success might obliterate
its stain.
But we cannot readily believe that any
large portion of the American people will
sink to the inexpressible humiliation Of
state of vasselage to a people whose
very language they cannot speak. Grim.
inaI and fatally foolish, as the Southern
masses have shown themselves, they can
not have so lost all Saxon spirit as t.
wear French collars of servitude, and ca
bread at the bidding of some French
Viceroy. We believe that Davis misera
bic proposition will meet no countenanc'
in the South that it will lose him the res
pect which has already been SO strongl..
shaken by continued military disasters.

A dispatch from Washington states
that Senator Henry S. Foote of the Reb
ell Congress has made an unsuccessful at
tempt to escape, with his wife, from the
Confederacy. Mr.. Foote was taken back
to Richmond, Mrs Footc being left at
Occoquan, where she was sent for, by au.
thority from Washington, and brought to
Willard's Hotel under the escort of Sec
retary Seward. The President, 1t is said
has threatened retaliatory measures if Mr.
Foote shall be subjected to punishment
There are many thousands of Northern
people, whose friends have been murder
ed or are now starving in Southern char
nal-houses, who will rejoice that the Gov
ernment has been aroused to sense of
the propriety of some earnest attempt to
put stop to southern outrages, even
though it begins with the case of an cr-
ratio and repentant Rebel.

0FA very extensive fraud upon bankers
in Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota and the
Canadas, involving large sums of money, has
just come to light. The fraud was perpc-
trated by means Of drafts purporting to be
drawn by Rodney Stowell e. Company, bank
ers. of Hornellsvllle, N. Y, on the Ninth
National Bank of New-York, and represent
ing sums of from $500 to $1,000. One Of
these drafts was presented to the latter bank
and was protested, which led TO inquiries
and the arrest of John Wilson, the presenter
at Detroit, and subsequently of. w. Green
of Pontiac Stowell & Co., who failed some
weeks since, formerly transacted large
business. and the Ninth National Bank Of
New-York was in the habit of fhonoring their
drafts. All of those frauduiently issued are
made payable to c. A. Baldwin.

some of them draw out of the profession; but
we hold ourself none the less responsible for

The Death of Edward Everett.
Boston, Jan. Is, 1865


Edward Everett died this morning at
1 o'clock, at his residence on Summer St,
of apoplexy. His age was seventy years
and about nine months. Mr.. Everett ad-
dressed his fellow citizens at Faneull Hall
on Monday last in aid of sending provis-
ions to Savannah, and during the after
noon of that day was present in court, in
reference to claim for damages against
the city of Charlestown, for overhowing
portion of his estate in Medford by con-
structing dam in Mystic River. On
Tuesday he became affected with quite a
severe cold, but neither his friends nor
himself deemed it serious. Saturday
evening he appeared about as we'll as u
sual, and retired to bed, declining to trou-
BILE any one to remain with him. About
O'Clock this morning his housekeeper
entered his room, and found him sleep
ing naturally. An hour later and she
was alarmed by hearing heavy fall in
his room, and found him lying on the
floor, breathing heavily. A physician
was promptly summoned, but before his
arrival Mr.. Everett died.
The event was announced in nearly all
the churches at the commencement oi
morning service, and created a profound
feeling of sadness. Shortly after noon the
church bells of the cities and suburb;
we're tolled. Mr.. Everetts funeral viii
take place at noon on Thursday, in the
First Church, the Rev. Rufus Ellis, pas
tor. 1t is presumed the State and City
authorities will take part in the obsequies
of this great and good citizen.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Is, 1865.
The following announcement has beer
furnished for general publication.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

The President directs the undersigned
to perform the painful duty of announ

more by learning and eloquence than by
unsurpassed and disintercsted labors o
patriotism, at period of political disor
der, departed this life at four o'clock this
morning. The several Executive De
partments of the Government will cause
approprite honors to be rendered to the
memory of the deceased at home and u
broad wherever the National name anC

We find in Ayers American Almanac,
(now ready for delivery gratis, by all their
agents the remarkable statement that the
temperature of the earth has not dimin--
ished more than 1-306th part of one de-
gree of Fahrenheit for 1000 years. To
our enquiry how he could make such an
assertion, DIR. Ayre writes US the follow
ing answer. "Hipparchus gives the ex-
act record of an eclipse in his time. This
enables us to measure with extreme accu-
racy the earths' diurnal revolutions since
to any eclipse now. Diminution of its
heat would by concentration, shorten its
axis The data shows that this change
has been only such as state it, mathc-
matically and indisputably true. New
